Chapter 21 "I thought you're not on good terms with your mom. Okay na kayo?" We're still here at the cottage. Kami nalang dalawa ang natira. The girls went out and swim with the boys. I stayed here with my boss. Nakakahiya naman kung iiwan ko sya 'e inimbitahan namin sya rito. "Still my mother after all. Wala rin naman sa plano niya ang tumagal pa rito. She just came home to check the company." Aniya sabay inom ng alak. I was playing with my fingers while having second thoughts if I'm going to ask him a question or not. Ayoko sanang isipin niya na chismosa ako. "Go ahead. Ask something." Napaangat ako ng tingin sakanya. Ang galing, nababasa niya isipan ko? Bahagya naman syang natawa. "Alam ba ng mommy mo na may sakit ka?" His smile fade away. Sabi ko na nga ba. I shouldn't have asked. Ang tanga talaga, Lucille! "It's okay, questions doesn't bother me." He respond and then looked away. Pinagmamasdan niya ang dagat, ganun din ako. "She didn't. She doesn't need to know. Dad d

Chapter 23"I'm sorry." He hugged me. I was out of words and only saying sorry came out from my mouth. Nahihiya ako sa inasal ko kanina. I shouldn't have let my emotions take over me.

I actually don't mind but I also don't want Fin to know that my father is no different from the people that killed his parents. Natatakot ako na baka maturn ito sa akin. "Thank you." I said with a smile. He then, kisses my forehead. Nandito kami ngayon sa balkonahe ng room namin ng girls. Fin asked Devy if it's okay to enter and check on me.

birthday ball"Sakit ng ulo ko." Sapong sapo ng palad ko ang sumasakit kong ulo. It felt like shit. Parang nabagsakan ng isang kilong hallowblocks. Ganun din sila Devy at Wein. Hindi naman umiinom si Heaven kaya nauna pa itong nakaligo sa'min. "Here girls. Got you some soup!" Hannah just came with their cooks na may dala dalang apat na bowl ng soup. "Mainit pa yan. After that let's take swim then let's dress up. How's that sound?" Ang good mood naman ng babaeng 'to. "Anong oras ba magsisimula yung party?" Tanong ni Devy saka pumwesto sa maliit na table dito sa kwarto. Nauna nang humigop ng sabaw. Ayoko pang bumangon! "Lunch daw eh. But the main event will commence in the evening." Hannah answered. Lumabas na rin yung mga staff kaya sinubukan nalang din na bumangon. "Main event? Ilang event pa mangyayari today?" "This lunch is for their company. Hindi ka pa ba magr-ready, Lucy?" "Huh?" Sebastian hasn't been sending me updates anything about work. May meeting pala? Ba't hindi ko
