"Seriously, Luxiana? You even called your mother to help you escape? Nice try."

"Bakit ka ba nandito?"

"I came as soon as Klea told me na binisita ka raw ng Mommy mo." That prick!

"I hate you so much!" I said and walked away from him.

"Bumalik ka dito, Luxiana!" Hinabol niya ako hanggang sa pagpunta ko sa kuwarto but it was locked. "New rule, you sleep in my room from now on."

"So now you want to sleep in the same room as me?"

"Pinalipat ko na lahat ng gamit mo sa kuwarto ko, since delikado na ngang lumabas ay dito na rin ako magtatrabaho until the issue with the company dies down."

"Asshole." I whispered as I went to the garden.

"You do realize na kahit saan ka pumunta ay susundan kita unless you agree to have lunch with me."

"Hindi ako gutom." I said to try and have him leave me alone.

"You were nicer last week." He complained.

"And Avery is still your wife."

He sighed then walked away from me. Salamat sa Diyos.

Hapon na nung nakaramdam ako ng gutom kaya pumunta ako sa kusina. I saw Polly scolding Klea about what she did earlier. Klea was defending herself with what Aire had ordered them to do.

"Kung hindi mo ginawa iyon edi sana masaya si Madam Luxiana. Alam ko namang babalik siya."

"Kung hindi sana namatay si Ma'am Avery edi sana hindi tayo nahihirapan."

I went back to the garden at tiniis ang gutom ko. I didn't need to her Avery's name again and again from different people. Banggitin lang siya ni Aire ay masakit na sa akin.

Aire called me for dinner kaya sumunod na ako. I was super hungry now.

"Hindi ka raw kumain kaninang tanghali." He said as he placed rice on my plate. "Kumain ka ng marami, I'm going to work again."

He lifted my face to look at him at hinalikan niya ako sa labi. I didn't respond para matapos na agad and he left as soon as he stopped.

Pagkatapos kong kumain ay nakaramdam na ako ng pagod. It was only 8:30 kaya nagtataka ako bakit parang pagod na naman ako. I went to his room since naka lock ang kuwarto ko.

I took another nightgown but it was silky purple this time. Lumabas ako ng cr niya at tinignan siya since he was doing some work.

"Matutulog ka na?" He asked while reading his paper.

"Oo."

"May dumating na letter for you kanina. It's from GFB Network, they want to produce your movie daw."

"Binasa mo yung letter for me?" I asked at nilingon niya ako. "New rule, no reading my mail."

"It's still addressed to my house." He pulled me close kaya napaupo ako sa hita niya. "Ambango naman ng asawa ko."

"Psh."

"Wait for me, sabay na tayong matulog." He said as he finished his work.

Tumayo ako at binasa ang letter. I celebrated quietly inside when the letter explained na they want me there tomorrow. Makakalabas na ako!

Humiga ako ng nakangiti pero mabilis din iyong nawala when Aire lied beside me.

"Matulog ka na, maaga pa tayo bukas."

"Don't tell me sasama ka pa."

"Of course. Day off si Manong bukas kaya I'm driving, no buts."

"Punyeta."
