Ivy's POV
Nandito kami ngayon sa dining area, Halos walang nagsasalita dahil sa sobrang lamig ng aura, Halos wala silang imikan simula ng magtagpo sila.
Who? It's Eivan and Jeffrey, their glaring at each other like there's no tomorrow. Nagpatuloy ako sa pagsubo ng pork habang hindi pinansin ang presensya nila.
"I forget that this two have grudge in each other, I shouldn't let them meet.." Isip isip ko habang patuloy sa pagkain. Napatingin ako kay Chloe ng binasag nya ang katahimikan.
"Ivy, why did you bring Maximilian here?... I mean it's your condo. Why here?" Takang tanong nya habang inililibot ang tingin sa paligid ng dining room. I smile at her.
"Yan na naman ang bunganga nya.." Isip isip ko habang nagpupunas ng folding napkin sa bibig.
Sometimes, I'm wondering if she's dumb or just pretending to be dumb. Lalong lumamig ang atmospera sa paligid, si Eivan at Jeffrey na nagbabatuhan ng malamig at walang emosyon na mga mata napadako ang atensyon sa direksyon ko, pati si Hadrian na kumakain sa gilid ko napatingin sakin.
Speaking of him, his annoying... why did he side me over all of the people? Did he know how much I disgust him? Binaba ko sa gilid ang folding napkin at sinagot sya. "His house was attack by Assassins, it's dangerous if I let him stay in there" Nakangiti ngunit ramdam ang lamig ng boses ko.
Her eyes widen.
"Aww, poor him. It's really dangerous to be a lawyer, tapos ang mga kaaway pa nya galing sa makakapangyarihang angkan tsk tsk tsk" She reacted while eating chicken. Napasulyap ang mata ko kay Hartleigh na nasa gilid ko ng makitang hindi nya inaalis ang tingin nya kay Jeffrey.
Looks like she's interested in him... A secret grin forms on my face, from what I knew she can't take her eyes away from Maximilian... Now she's eyeing Jeffrey? Bitch... I wonder who will she abandon.
Is it the dumb Fíance of mine or my brother? Oh no, she already dumped Eivan... Nakangisi kong isip isip habang sinusulyapan si Eivan na bad mood sa hindi malamang dahilan.
Ibinaling ko ang atensyon ko kay Hartleigh. Nakatingin parin sya kay Jeffrey habang naghihiwa ng cake sa plato. I just notice that...
"She really loves to collect the people around me," Mahina akong napatawa. Wala syang pinagkaiba sa magbabasura na nangongolekta ng basurang tinapon ko na.
But finally... "Something moves accordingly to the plot," I think while sipping my wine.
The past keeps changing, At first, Hadrian got interested in me which is beyond my expectations, second Maximilian got punished which never happened in the past, then third... Jeffrey's also acting weird.
And his behavior is also annoying.
Kung si Hadrian mula sa mainitin ang ulo ay naging sweet and cool headed sakin-MINSAN. Si Jeffrey hindi ko na alam ang iniisip dahil sa mood swing, dinaig pa ang buntis sa bilis ng pagbabago ng mood nya, Tsk.
I glance in Jeffrey's direction---who's looking at me... sharply? Dahil umiinom ako ng wine medyo nagulat ako kaya nasamid ako ng kaunti. "Cough!" Napaubo ako sa bigla. Damn, ang sakit sa lalamunan, What's wrong with that freak? "You okay, Ivy?" Tanong ni Chloe. Tumayo ako at nagsalita.
"Yeah, inom lang ako" Nakangiti kong saad habang iniisod ang silya. Wine lang kasi ang nakaserve sa dining table. Nasa dirty kitchen pa yung mineral water.
And this is the best excuse para makaiwas ako sa kanila. Naglakad ako papunta sa dirty kitchen ng condo ko at kumuha ng baso bago nagtungo sa refrigerator at nagsalin ng tubig bago uminom. Napatigil ako sa paginom ng may maramdaman akong presensya na pumasok.
Siguradong maalin sa tatlo na mga lalaki na yun ang pumasok. Imposible naman akong sundan ni Hartleigh dahil halos lusawin na nya ng tingin si Jeffrey. Si Leighlani naman imposible rin, mukhang ang pakay lang nya dito ay si Maximilian, which is annoying.
Si Chloe naman, mukhang go with the flow lang, naghahanap ng perfect timing para hanapan ako ng baho sa katawan, I don't know her well but I can sense that she's a backstabber. Buti na lang hindi sumama sa kanila si Dahlia, less headache, mataray pa naman yun, Tsk.
"Why are you here?" Malamig kong tugon habang ibinababa baso sa sink.
"Napaka-walang puso mo, 'no?" Malamig na boses na sabi ni.... Jeffrey, Nilingon ko sya.
"Pinapunta mo ang kapatid mo dito kahit alam mong nandito ako" Seryoso nyang saad habang nakasandal sa pader at nakatingin ng daretsyo sakin.
"You didn't even care about how will I feel..." Dagdag pa nya.
"Because I don't care about you that I forgot that you also have a grudge against him..." Malamig kong isip isip habang nakatingin ng daretsyo sa kanyang mga mata.
Gusto kong sabihin yung sa kanya, pero tinatamad ako. Ang sobrang boring ng presensya nya. I hope Maximilian will wake up soon, I miss his presence... He's the only guy that I'm comfortable with... The rest are annoying.
May kinuha syang syringe sa kanyang coat at pinagmasdan ito bago nagpatuloy. "You know how great my medical skills are, Ivy... And I know you know how poisonous my presence too."
Of course, I know, I almost died in your hands.
"Aren't you afraid that I might kill him here?" Seryoso nyang tugon habang nakatingin ng daretsyo sa mata ko. Lumamig ang mga mata ko, Jeffrey is like me, all he cares about is his revenge, then won't care about other things, tiningnan ko sya ng malamig bago nilapitan.
Hinawakan ko ang needle ng syringe, this syringe is similar to the syringe that he almost stabbed in my neck before... This syringe might be poison... Hinigit ko ang puting kwelyo nya bago sya tiningnan sa mata.
"Hurt him all you want..."
"Just don't kill him..."
Malamig kong bulaslas habang tinitignan sya ng matalim. "I am the only one who has the right to kill him" Malamig kong isip isip habang nakatingin ng matalim at seryoso sa abong mga mata ni Jeffrey.
Tiningnan ko ng malamig na mata ni Jeffrey bago sya tuluyang iwan sa dirty kitchen, Pagkalabas ko medyo nagulat ako ng may nagsalita sa gilid. "Wow.." I look at Eivan's direction, nakasandal sya sa may entrance ng dirty kitchen.
"I didn't know that my sister is this attractive..." Panimula nya habang nakatingin sa mata ko ng malamig habang nakangiti.
"Did he heard our conversation?" Malamig kong isip isip habang nakatingin sa kanya.
"That arrogant and hot-headed Fíance of yours who hated you in the past... Is now madly in love with you..."
Is it my fault then? It's his fault to fall in love.
"Then that doctor whose family got killed by us even fall in love with you, Tsk tsk... It must be hard on him"Nakangiti nya saking tugon,
I think Jeffrey doesn't love me, he's just trying to use me. I thought at first that he has feelings for me, but I forgot that he's a good actor. And the fact that... His smart, and he won't fall in love easily with me.
Even if he did, I don't care. Naging malamig ang mga mata nya sakin.
"You have a unique charm, don't you agree?" Malamig nyang tanong habang tinitignan ako mata sa mata.
