Beneath The Lies (Silvero Series #02)

Prologue

Prologue

May umaalis, may dumarating. People come and go but life goes on. That's how life works. That's the reality.



We are allowed to cry. We are allowed to laugh. We feel hatred, anger, or sadness. We are allowed to feel anything. We are allowed to love because our hearts have the right to choose freely.

But I just don't get it. Why do we always fall in love with someone we can't have?

Isn't it so tiring? Admiring someone from afar even though they didn't know about your existence. Or maybe they do but they don't give a damn. 

No one knows what our heart can really do when it starts burning for someone but sometimes, were are willing to break the rules for love that we never get.

Have you ever tried to love someone even though you know to yourself that you can't be together because of your differences?

Do you believe that lying can hide the truth?

Would you rather hurt someone you love by telling them a lie just for their sake? Because it was the only way you know to protect them? But beneath those lies are the truth you wanted to scream out but couldn't.

I've been in a relationship before. I've kissed so many guys and had flings and suitors. Siguro nga masyado pa akong bata noon dahil puro laro lang sa relasyon ang habol ko. I don't take them seriously. I played with their feelings at basta na lang sila iniiwan sa ere.

They said I was a playgirl. Sa murang edad, marami akong naging karelasyon na hindi man lang tumatagal ng isang linggo. I change men. 

I'm aware of that and I regret my actions before. I hated myself because of that. 

I have to grow up. I'm not a fifteen-year-old girl anymore. I have to face the reality. 

I've never been afraid of being alone, but I am afraid of dying without knowing what true love is. What does it feel like? I just found myself looking for a man who will truly love me pero nabigo ako. 

Minsan iniisip ko na lang na baka parusa ko na ito. Dumating na rin ako sa puntong tinatanong ko na ang sarili ko. 

Can I also find that kind of love? A love that will last. A love that you are ready to make sacrifices, give up everything and fight for even if it exhausts you. A true love that will always come back no matter what happens.

I am a Silvero. I was born bringing a powerful family name. I don't chase love. I don't chase men. I don't beg.  

But he is different. I couldn't explain it, but there was something about him that I couldn't see in others. He taught me what love really is even though he can not give it to me.

I always watch him from afar. I love him so much that I don't care if that love could kill me. I'm ready to be killed by that love but sometimes, I really don't get him.

He makes me feel special as if I'm important to him but sometimes he makes me feel like I am not worthy of his time.

He always reminds me what the differences that are stopping us from being together. He distances himself and avoids me. He builds a big wall between us.

He keeps looking down at himself, but he has no idea how perfect he is in my eyes. If only I could give my eyes to him just so I could tell him why I'm so desperate over him, I would give them to him.

Wala akong pakealam sa sasabihin ng iba tungkol sa aming dalawa because I know the truth within me and they are not worth of my time. I wanted to ignore them but damn it. It was so frustrating.
