Simula

Achlys stopped herself from laughing her ass out. Paano ba naman, ang galing umakto ng ama bilang butihin sa kaniya. If making her mind in peace, gagawin niya pero hindi na lang... Mahabang sermon na naman ang aabutin niya kapag umuwi sa mansion nila.

Malaking pagtitipon ang idinaos sa kaniyang bagong eskwelahan para pasalamatan ang kaniyang Ama dahil yata sa malaking perang ibinigay nito. Pera nga naman, andaming nagagawa.

Sa mata ng lahat ay mahal na mahal siya ng Ama ngunit paano kung wala na ang mga mata ng karamihan? It's a perfect disaster!

When her Father said her name, inisip niya kung dapat ba siyang umiyak o ano. Sa bawat pagsambit sa kaniyang pangalan ay may disgusto ito sa mukha but in everyone's eyes...

He's a great pretender, may pinagmanahan nga naman siya. Like father, like daughter but they hate each other... So much!

Nawala lahat ang iniisip niya ng sabihin ng Ama na mag-uusap sila, she knows what will happen... Once everyone is out of their sight, labas na ang mahabang sungay nito.

"Leave us" ito kaagad ang sinabi nito ng makapasok sila sa kotse na mabilis namang tinugon ng Family chauffer.

"Huwag kang gumawa ng gulo na maaaring makasira sa pamilya natin, para magkaroon ka naman ng silbi sa ating pamilya" malamig na litanya nito habang nakatingin sa labas at ganoon rin siya

She's part of a Politician Family, her father is a senator while her brothers was well known for their own fields, sabi ng karamihan ay tatakbo ang isa sa mga kapatid niya and she didn't even know it.

After the silence she answered politely "Yes" pagkatapos ng sinabi niya ay sunod-sunod na ang paalala nito, hindi yon para sa ikabubuti niya kundi sa pamilya Estaris

Ang pamilyang hindi niya itinuturing na sa kaniya. Estaris Family are known as a noble family because all men in this family became a politician, malas nga lang dahil wala pang Presidente ang nanggaling sa pamilya but maybe it's for the country's good.

Pagkaalis ng Ama ay biglang sumilay sa kaniya ang magandang ngiti, let the play begin...

Achlys's POV

"Thanks po sa pagsama sa akin, naabala pa tuloy kayo... Hindi ko pa po kase alam ang pasikot-sikot ng school, pase-" pinutol ng anak ng Dean ang sasabihin ko at malawak na ngumiti

'plastic!' sigaw ko sa aking isipan

I know this man so much, Dan Marco Valentine, kilala bilang 'the heartthrob' between girls lang dahil it's indecent to call him that by just a kid, kilala ang eskwelahang ito dahil may pera lang ang nakakapasok, nakakahiya naman kung hindi disente ang estudyante rito.

"It's not a big thing Lady Estaris, it's my job to guide every students in this University so do not apologize" so plastic

"Is that so? Please take care of me, kind Sir..." I can use him... For my future plans

Ngumiti ako at naglahad ng kamay, just a token of alliance. Befriending him, an enemy is a risk...

"Dan. Just call me Dan- oh we're already here! Good luck Lady Estaris, it's nice talking to you" nice my ass!

All I can say is, he's not good at acting. Nagmamadali itong umalis at stiff ren, sobrang galit ba ang mayroon siya sa mga politiko? Well I hate them too, they're just so plastic! Hindi ko mawari kung may totoo pa ba sa kanila.

I sighed and stood at the doorstep, kailangan ko pa palang magpakilala kahit kilala na nila 'ko, for formalities.

"Oh, Miss Estaris! Come in! Come in and please introduce yourself" Everyone fell silent

Nagpakawala ako ng buntong-hininga at naglakad sa tabi ng middle-aged na lecturer, I'm not scared or a bit of nervous... It's just that, I'm homeschooled and I'm not even allowed to go out our mansion.

I'm literally isolated, I'm a modern Rapunzel, I guess? I can sneak and leave the mansion but I didn't, iniisip kong baka mas toxic ang nasa labas kesa sa nafeel ko inside those Walls. This is my first time outside,yung feeling na wala ng leash but I'm not ignorant. I read all the books in our library because I'm so bored and I indulge myself in gadgets, games, comic, social medias and lastly reading platforms.

I sighed again and started my introduction "Hi, I'm Achlys Ilamatecuhtil Mallory Estaris... I'll be in your care" ngumiti ako ng napakatamis

Simula pa lang ng umapak ako sa labas ng imyernong iyon, sisiguraduhin kong makakawala ako sa mahigpit nilang tali ng di nila nalalaman.

This school. This people. This is where the game begins, I'm selfish but who cares? I'llll use anyone kahit na makaapak ako ng iba, galing akong impyerno... I'll act someone na galing don.

I can be sweet, serious, childish and dangerous.

I'm not a two faced, I'm three faced.

Face For my family and friends but disappointingly, wala ako non.

Face to show the world and one for myself, na kung sa ako lang ang may alam...

And if you see that face of mine... Iiyak ka, baka mamatay ka pa nga eh.

I am the Unfortunate Death Goddess of Death-Mist... That's my name.

I killed my Mom, that's why I'm living a hell of a lifetime right now. I'm repenting my sins, for me to live was sucking the life out of my Mother.

But, I can't take all of their hatred, punong-puno na ako! So I chose myself even if for the second time may mawawalang buhay dahil sa akin.

This is me... A monster.

Estaris Family made me, they made a monster...
