The Sub Rosa [Completed]

Chapter 1

Tapping the heel of my stiletto gained attention in the chapel. I rolled my eyes when one of my cousins told me to be quite. Mom gave me a warning look which I just shrugged and ignored. Can't hold another sermon so I walk away, leaving them inside praying.

I believed in God.

It's just that I'm so ashamed staying inside.

With all of my sins I felt unholy and burning.
To save myself from humiliation I drove back to the place where no one can judge me, where no one can compare me and where the only two person can understand me.

I smiled weakly from remembering how I swallowed my pride for someone I thought I can be with. Begging him for attention and for his love.

Wherever he go somewhere, I also come secretly. Hurting myself from affairs he shared with different women.

That should be me bitch!

I saw how he cared to anyone of them, I asked myself why he didn't tried to played with me? I can also do it! I can do it!

Wasting my time chasing the person who never glance at me. Disgracing my entire family, hurting my parents for being desperate!

Until one day...

I was woke up from the dark dreams I've been aiming in my 18 years of living.

My Mom slapped me hard and all of the alcohol in my systems instantly leaves me when I cried on her shoulders. My cheeks was burning from the pain but it gives me a new hope to start my life.

"I love him so much." Sobbing all of the heart aches I've gathered while chasing the wrong person. Wetting her dress from my tears, for many years they let me do the things I want to do even if, sometimes it was the cause of their fights of my Dad.

"It was never wrong to love someone, but it was wrong to force yourself to someone who doesn't love you." She wipe my tears hoping to shoo away the pain and misery I've been dealing with for years.

They said the truth will set you free.

I know the truth since the first time I saw him but I was blinded by the one sided love. I-thought I can teach him to love me.

Luckily I stopped! I found myself again.

The guard salute to me as I drove passed the security. I parked my car inside of their mansion. I honked my car.

Combing my shoulder length hair and checking my freshly white coated nail polished.

I walk thru their long pathway inhaling the aromatic fragrance of the flowers planted in the garden. I'll pick one later.

The big wooden door creaked as one of their maids open it for me. I smile and thank them. I could hear the Renaissance music played all over the mansion.

So classic.

Everything here screams elegance and power! The ceiling was full of Ancient Greek Art painted by one of the famous Greece painter.

The statue of Alexander the Great and the demonic statue of the unholy creature Lucifer was perfectly sculptured by one their famous Filipino friend sculptor.

Ain't gonna lie that these mother fuckers are damn rich. Super.

I walk gracefully plastering my smile.
The sound of my stiletto hitting the artistic floor they had can't be heard because of the loud music.

When we reach the entrance of their mansion. They had a lot of doors here. You'll be surprise that we haven't reach the half of the mansion. It was big, wide than you can imagine.
