Ivy's POV
"What? Said it again" Dad said seriously. Huminga ako ng malalim bago nilabanan ang mga titig nya.
"I said I want to cancel my engagement with Hadrian, Dad-"
"Pak!" Ramdam ko ang mabigat nyang kamay na tumama sa pisnge ko, I'm already expect this to happen, He doesn't care about us anyway. A smirk secretly forms on my lips. It's been seven days since I was discharged from the hospital, He never visited me just once, I know he knows what happened, nangyari Yun sa labas ng kumpanya nya eh,
What a cold-blooded bastard, he doesn't care that some unknown organization almost assassinates his daughter. Well if I were in his position, I would do the same, I wouldn't care about him either. Because we're just bonded by blood.
I guess that makes me a cold-blood bitch too, Tsk. Who cares?
I'm in his room today, I'm wishing to cancel my engagement with Hadrian, dahil hindi ko na kinakaya ang mga kahibangan at mga kinikilos nya. But since this happen, kailangan nyang maging handa dahil kahit nagpoprotest sya, wala syang magagawa kung napatay ko si Hadrian bigla.
"Tinanong kita ng paulit ulit dati, Ivy... Kung seryoso ka ba kay Hadrian? And you repeatly answered that you are..." Malamig nyang sabi habang umiinom ng alak na nakalagay sa table. It's because I'm dumb and naive in the past, Tsk.
"That's the reason why I reconcile with LeCoultre family even the both families have a Dark Past" Malamig nyang dagdag, Tiningnan ko sya. My family and Hadrian's family have been rivals for generations, but it is not revealed what's the reason why both families have grudges against each other. And that shit has nothing to do with me.
"You can't break your engagement with him now... Planado na lahat" Malamig nyang sambit bago ako tinilikuran at tumingin sa glass wall ng kwarto nya.
"Leave" Maikli nyang sambit habang humihithit ng sigarilyo, kusang humakbang ang mga paa ko paantras at inikutan sya ng mga mata bago tuluyang umalis. Tsk. I know one of the reasons why he wants to keep the engagement, Even if Hadrian's a useless heir his family is powerful, and it will benefit us if both families merge, Tss.
Habang naglalakad ako sa hallway ng bahay namin, nakasalubong ko si Eivan, binabalak ko sana syang deadmahin pero na hawakan nya ang kanang braso ko. Ugh, such an annoyance.
"What happened to your cheeks?"narinig kong seryosong tanong niya. Tiningnan ko sya ng blanko at tinanggal ko ang kamay nya, ramdam kong medyo nagtaka sya sa reaksyon ko, pero binalewala ko sya at nilagpasan ng parang hangin bago nagdare daretsyo papunta ng kwarto ko.
Tsk. Pretending to be nice after what you did to me in my previous life? I won't buy that. Tsss, they're all irritating.
Pagkapasok ko sa kwarto, humiga ako sa kama at nagtaklob ng kumot para matulog sana pero "Young Mistress, May bisita ka" Sumilip ako kay Halena ng buksan nya ng kaunti ang pinto ng kwarto ko.
"Is it Maxy?" Tanong ko habang nakasimangot dahil inaantok na talaga ako. Sasagot pa sana sya pero nagsalita na'ko. Maybe si Maximilian nga, he said before that he will come to my room today.
"Let him in" Maximilian and I have been together for about five days since he started teaching me how to handle a gun, or more likely how to be a heartless heiress that Dad can control,
I know he wasn't aware that Dad was using me, He went overseas when he was 12 years old, and he wasn't aware of my family matters, all he knows is Dad was favoring me over Eivan, and that's why he became Dad's ally. Hindi ko parin sinasabi sa kanya ang lahat ng alam ko, because I want him to stay clueless so I can protect him like how he protect me in the past. I know his still confused kung paano ko nadetect ang assassin dati sa opposite na building ng kumpanya ni Dad, pero pinili na lang nya manahimik.
Ramdam ko syang umupo sa kama ko, hindi na ko nag react kasi sanay na naman din ako, minsan nga dati sabay pa kami natutulog eh, kwarto man nya sa kanila o sa kwarto ko. I know it's wrong in the eyes of other people but aminin ko man sa hindi pero mas lalo akong nakakatulog ng komportable pag lagi ko syang katabi. "Let's continue our training tomorrow, Maxy. I'm really tired and sleepy today" Inaantok kong sabi habang yumayakap sa unan ko. Nang hindi sya sumagot pipikit na sana ako pero-
"Tsk, why do you always mistake him for my presence?" Agad akong napabangon sa kama at nilingon sya mula sa likod bago tiningnan sya ng may gulat na ekspresyon.
Bahagyang kumunot ang noo ko ng makita ko ang pagmumukha ni Hadrian. "Why are you here?... Get out" Malamig kong sabi habang bumabangon sa pagkakahiga sa kama.
"So you just let me enter because you thought I was him?" Nakakunot noo nyang sabi habang may nanlilisik na mata sakin, nilapitan nya ako pero kinuha ko mula sa ilalim ng kama ang caracal pistol ko, at itinutok sa kanya. Ramdam ko ang pagkagulat nya.
Tiningnan ko sya ng walang ekspresyon, since my reborn I always hiding a gun under my pillow because the killer of me in the past is living with me in one roof, so I have to be alert. Hindi ko alam na baka mamaya isipin na ni Eivan akong patayin ng hindi ko pa namamalayan,
"Can you calm down even just a little bit?! You're always pointing your gun at me! Let's talk nicely..." Sigaw nya sakin at para habang inis na inis, hinawakan nya ang dulo ng pistol ko at itinatama sa ibang direksyon, malamig ko syang nilingon at tinawag si Halena,
"Halena" I said, Ramdam ko syang pumasok bago sumagot.
"Yes, Young Mistress?" Tanong nya.
Sinuklay ko ang buhok ko papataas bago malamig na nilingon si Hadrian na nakakunot ang noo parin sakin. "Escort our Guest to the living room... Mukhang napagkamalan nya living room yung kwarto ko" Seryoso kong sabi tsaka dahan dahan ibinaba ang pistol.
"Treat him nicely" Seryoso ngunit ramdam ang pagkakasarkastik ng boses ko sa kanya habang binibigyan si Hadrian ng malamig na tingin.
"Yes, Young Mistress" Sagot nya at naglakad sa direksyon ni Hadrian para dalhin sya sa sala pero nagsalita ulit ako.
"By the way, Don't forget to serve him cold juice, his favorite is orange flavor..." Ramdam ko ang pagkunot ni Hadrian sakin at bahagya namang napatingin si Halena sakin. Hadrian usually hates cold drinks, especially oranges, I don't know the reason but serving him cold drinks and orange fruits displeases him. Or maybe because he was just too picky.
"M-malamig na orange flavor po? As in cold orange juice?? Hindi po tsaa nalang? o kape??" Taka nyang tanong sakin. Halena knows me well from the past, there was a time that I gave Hadrian an orange frozen yogurt, and then he became furious at me. Maybe she remembered how depressed I was at that time because I tried to confess my feelings to him, but he humiliated me publicly.
Hinarap ko sya at bahagyang tiningnan si Hadrian ng malamig,
"Yes, cold. Baka kung uminom siya ng malamig na orange juice ay makakabalik siya sa katinuan." Malamig kong sabi habang nakatingin ng daretso kay Hadrian, I look at his reaction, he's just staring at me. Medyo nag-alinlangan si Halena sa sinabi ko dahil alam nyang magagalit sakin si Hadrian, at alam kong nagaalala sya na kapag nagalit sakin si Hadrian, masaktan ang emosyon ko sa kanya.
"A-are you sure, Young Mis-"
Pinagmasdan ko ang reaksyon ni Hadrian pero- "It's okay, Give me one. Your Miss is good at remembering my favorites" Malamig at seryoso nyang sabi habang nakatingin sakin. Naglock ang mga mata namin. Tsk, stubborn moron. Inikot ko ang mga mata ko at umalis sa kama, nawala ang antok ko gawa ng lalaking 'to, Tsk.
