REID SIERRA

"What now, Lux? Are you happy?" I seethed at Luxury, my voice laced with anger. She responded with a bitter smile, a palpable sense of resentment hidden behind her facade.

"She deserves it after all," she chuckled, though her laughter held a tinge of pain and anguish.

"Did you send her to California? And threaten her to kill me?" I demanded, my grip tightening on her arm.

"How did you end up like this, Luxury? You're so different from the Luxury I knew!" I yelled, my frustration boiling over. But instead of recoiling from my grasp, she merely laughed in response.

"This is the real me, Reid," she stated coolly, causing me to release her as she met my gaze with chilling indifference.

"Everything that happened between us was already planned," she continued, her laughter sending shivers down my spine.

"I plotted to become your fiancée. To seek revenge for you, Reid. I tried everything to avenge the loss of my sister, Reid! You're the reason I've become like this!"

"From being a bait to being your lover. You made me crazy, Reid. Nawala lang ako ng ilang buwan dahil gusto kong mahanap ang sarili ko, pero pinagpalit mo rin pala ako." Natawa si Luxury at napasandal sa dingding.

"Sabagay, kasalanan ko kasi hindi ako nakinig sa paliwanag mo." Umayos siya ng tayo at pinunasan ang luha. Lumapit ito saakin at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.

"Thank you for giving me a life, Reid. I know we've been in ten years relationship but we're only have few memories together, mas marami pa ata memories na meron ka kasama si Lily kumpara saakin." Natawa muli si Lily, pero bakas iyon ng sakit at lungkot.

"I'm sorry for not being a good girlfriend to you, Reid, as I limit myself to you, because of my mom's plans towards you." Niyakap ako ni Luxury.

"Go after her, Reid. 'Wag mong pakawalan si Lily. Sundan mo siya kung saan siya pumunta, huwag kang tumigil tulad ng pagtigil mo sa paghahabol saakin. Giving space is not what we wanted, Reid. It means 'go chase me, prove to me that you love me'," tinapik ako ni Luxury sa balikat, "don't make the same mistakes again, Reid. If you really love her, chase her and never stop. Even if she keeps pushing you away. Stay." Huling sabi ni Luxury at napatakip siya sa kanyang bibig habang tumatakbo pababa.

Sobrang sakit na makita ang dalawang importanteng babae sa buhay ko ay nasasaktan dahil saakin. Fuck. Why life is so cruel?

"Where's Lily?" I asked Carlo as soon as went outside. He's frantically facing back and forth while trying to call someone.

"Sir, itinakbo po ni Ma'am Lily ang sasakyan. Hindi ki na po nahabol." Kaagad akong napamura sa sinabi ni Carlo.

"Hindi pa siya marunong magdrive!" Sigaw ko. Binalot ako ng pangamba na baka maasidente siya sa daan dahil umiiyak siyang umalis dito. Fuck.

"Locate the car!" Sigaw ko kay Carlo kaagad itong napatakbo paalis sa lugar, napasapo ako sa noo dahil sa sakit ng ulo ko.

Kaagad kong tinawagan ang elite team para hanapin si Lily.

"Sir the car's been found," sabi ni Carlo. Tinaasaan ko siya ng kilay, "then where's Lily?" Galit kong tanong sa kanya. Kwinelyuhan ko siya sa galit dahil siya ang inatasan kong magbantay kay Lily pero naiwala niya pa sa kanyang paningin.

"She's nowhere to be found sir," nanginginig na sabi ni Carlo.

Kaagad kong nakuha ang baril sa kanya at tinutok iyon sa kanya, "Find her or I'll kill you." Malamig kong saabi.

"Reid!" Kaagad na naagaw ni Errol ang baril na hawak ko at itinapon iyon sa malayo.

"What's going on?" Takang tanong ni Errol. Hindi ko siya pinansin. Dumating naman ang sunod-sunod na sasakyan mula sa Elite team.
