Ace:

Nagbihis ako ng maayos. I inhaled deep nang sipatin ko muna ang sarili ko sa malaking salamin—obviously, these dark eye circles told my sleepless night habang hinihintay kong mag-umaga.

Hindi ko maintindihan why he had to do this kung ito lang naman pala ang bagay na gusto niya, eh. I skipped breakfast—gusto ko siyang makausap ng matino.

Para ano't kinidnap niya pa ako? He was wasting his time on me! Nagmamadali akong bumaba—madali akong kausap, Alessandro. Pwede mo namang diretsong sabihin sa'kin!

Franko greeted me. My isa pa ng guard na nakatayo sa may pintoan.

"Franko, gusto ko sanang magpunta sa company ng..asawa ko." I showed him the envelope. Ibibigay ko ito sa kaniya—I had a question, I need his answers.

"Ako na po ang magbibigay, Miss Ace—" Franko offered. Pero hindi, ako na. Umiling ako.

"No, I insist myself. Pwede mong isama ang bodyguard kung gusto mo—hindi ako tatakas, ibibigay ko lang 'to." I affirmed to Alessandro's butler na mukhang hindi natutulog sa kakabantay sa'kin—although, I could sense, he's kind and was just doing his job.

"But his order is firm, Miss Ace—" Nilagpasan ko si Franko and asserted myself.

"Hindi ka niya tatanggalin, promise." I added before I went out the main door while the other guy opened it for me. Walang nagawa si Franko but to follow me now. Hindi naman siguro siya tatanggalan ng trabaho ni Alessandro.

That guy!

Hindi ko ma-explain, but the feeling as we were driving now was too heavy. Hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ang gusto niya—pero mas lalong nagugulohan ako sa sarili ko ngayon.

***

Alessandro's company was a skyscraper. Franko told the frontdesk about my matter of seeing Alessandro pero mukhang may hinahanap ang babae—so I approached the two.

"I told you, the CEO is busy—and the absence of an appointment is insignificant. Sorry, Franko." Ang dinig kong sinabi ng babae kay Franko.

"But he's the CEO's wife, Miss Sandra." He reasoned and how startled she was nang ma-sinked in ang sinabi ni Franko. She dialled the phone.

"W-Wife? As in..asawa? Just a moment," She called someone habang palipat-lipat ang tingin sa'kin ngayon. Of course, wala namang ipinakilalang asawa si Alessandro, right?

I understood why she was too anxious now.

She then smiled and put down the phone. "Nasa meeting pa si Boss, I'm sorry. Please go ahead." Halatang pinilit nitong ngumiti sa'kin—I did the same way saka ko binalingan si Franko habang papasok sa elevator.

"You don't have to say that, pwede naman tayong maghintay sa kaniya," That was a bit..off para sa'kin kasi nga, Alessandro could have introduced me long before pero hanggang ngayon—that woman looked so shaken? Mukha ngang mahihimatay, eh—if it was not because of Franko standing beside me, hindi siguro ako paniniwalaan.

So, he planned to kept our marriage a secret, huh?

If it was, then he would probably upset knowing somebody from his company heard it from Franko.

"You'll be prioritized, Miss Ace." Sabi niya sa'kin. I stood in silence, punong-puno ng mga tanong ang isipan ko but I gotta reserved those or much better, left untold.

"Err, sir Franko—nasa meeting po kasi ang boss." Sabi ng secretary mismo ni Alessandro na nasa labas ng opisina. Mariin din itong nakasipat sa'kin—glad I wore a sleeveless bodycon pastel color na hanggang tuhod ang haba. Inayos ko na rin ang buhok ko with a pearl clip on my hair—hindi pwedeng hindi ako mukhang tao while marching here.

You see, ang daming mga mata..

"Hihintayin ko nalang siya sa loob ng office, you can wait here." Hindi ko na hinintay ang sasabihin pa ng secretary ni Alessandro—I turned around and headed to this glass sliding door. Hindi naman ako magtatagal, eh—I wanted to give what he wished to have.

I slided the door open and a huge manly office greeted me—and him having his intimate conference with a woman nakapatong sa kaniya. His eyes finally caught me—he pushed his woman away.

What now? Go on, Ace!

Gusto ko kasing..tumakbo palabas dahil sa eksena ngayon. Busy? May meeting?

"Why is she here? Pati ba naman dito!" I already saw her, kung hindi ako nagkakamali, sa isla, siya yung babae na palaging kasama niya dun.

Something..pinched me inside.

No, hell, no!

Wala akong pakialam sa kanila! Everything about him..wala na akong gustong alalahin pa—mukhang meron naman palang advantage sa'kin ang pagkawala ng memorya ko, eh.

"I have something to.."

"Out now," Ha? Ako?

Nakatayo sa gilid niya ang babae niya, while fixing her clothes in front of me.

"Ibibigay ko lang 'to sa'yo," Dali-dali kong inilapag ang envelope. I gotta walked out now! Namumuo ang mga luha ko sa mga mata ko—why the hell!? "..you don't have to act like this—it's signed already. You're free." Then lumabas na ako ng opisina niya—dire-diretso patungo sa elevator while wiping these f**cking tears!

Ba't ako nasasaktan when my f**cking brain just couldn't remember a thing about him!?

"Going home, Miss Ace?" Tumango lang ako. I was consumed with too much heaviness—ache and pain when my mind was still a total blind of what my heart was implying!

He kidnapped me and told me hilarious things—he didn't believe any single word na wala akong maalala—na wala akong masagot sa kaniya.

That turned out he was my husband—and that piece of paper confirmed the truth of his words. At kahit hindi niya sinasagot ng maayos ang tanong ko—this marriage was something to be kept inside his closet.

What was clear to my memory was, I was a danger to his life. So now, nang makita niya ako ulit sa isla—he wished to get rid of me.

"Miss Ace!" Franko immediately covered me when three vans blocked the way and fired guns in our car! Oh Jesus!

Nakayuko ako ngayon and hid myself but there's an instinct that I should get Franko's gun and fired back—sh*t! The other car where Alessadro's guard was driving was blown away—they planned to eliminate us!

The driver, Franko and I were exchanging fires now.

"Miss Ace, I'll cover you. Get out the car!" I nodded saka sinunod ang sinabi ni Franko. There were ten guys firing at us, kung 'di ako nagkakamali.

Nakalabas ako ng sasakyan and hid myself behind the wheel holding this gun—I checked the bullets, f*ck, limang bala nalang!

I could hear wild gunshots—my heart thrashed so fast that I could almost hear it—hanggang sa unti-

unting dumilim ang paningin ko..
