The Heiress's Revenge

Chapter 1

- HERA's POV –

"Mrs. Stavos, Mr. Yto Vejar is here." Narinig kong sabi ni John. Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako dahil sa ilang taong pagbabantay niya sa akin ay hindi pa rin nagbabago ang pagtawag niya sa akin.

Lumingon naman ako sa papalapit na bulto ng tiyuhin ng aking asawa. "Prof." Pagbati ko sa kanya.

"I told you to call me, Tito. As much as I hate it, you are my nephew's wife."

"You don't like me for him do you?"

"I don't like him for you, Hera. Their family is wicked and so is he."

"I love him." Tanging sabi ko na lamang sa kanya.

"Loving him is not enough to stay in this loveless marriage. Marriage is two-way, he doesn't love you and you are killing yourself."

"How could I stop loving him when I saw how loving he is to his sister?"

"You will find a way to stop loving him." Sabit niya at nilingon siya si John ng lumapit ito sa amin.

"The Stavos family just arrived."

"Well, I need to stay out of their way." Sabi ko at tumayo na sa balkonahe at pumunta na sa aking silid.

Ilang oras ng nasa ibaba ang pamilya ni Kylo at kahit kailan ay hindi nila ako tinuring na asawa ni Kylo kaya iniiwasan kong makihalubilo sa kanila. Kahit si Professor Yto ay hindi nakikihalubilo sa kanila pero ginagawa niya paminsan alang-alang sa yumaong ina.

Napalingon ako sa bedside table ko at napabuntong-hininga dahil wala ng laman na tubig ang lalagyan na lagi kong pinaglalagyan ng tubig. Wala akong magagawa kung hindi bumaba para kumuha ng tubig.

Halos nasa may itaas pa lang ako ng hagdanan pero rinig na rinig ko na ang boses ni Joan at Vincent - ang mga magulang ni Kylo. Halatang may gusto silang makamit at halata rin sa mga boses ng mga naroon na gusto nila ang iniisip ng dalawa.

"... I mean the Villaverdes are powerful and rich. When we were invited to the party, only his sons were there but most of the managers and employees were looking for the youngest of the three siblings." Sabi ni Joan at alam ko na kaagad na pamilya ko ang tinutukoy. Sinabi kasi sa akin ni Kyro na aalis siya para roon.

"When I am talking casually to other businessmen they are saying that all of the siblings are worth millions." Sabat naman ni Vincent.

"The youngest is spoiled, if she wants a business that one of the brothers is taking care of, they will give it in an instant."

"I want that power, I want them to be like the Dolohovs." Sabi ni Vincent na bigla akong kinabahan.

"The Dolohovs are a Russian family that once were the most powerful businessmen here in Canada." Napalingon ako ng sinabi iyon ni John.

"How did you know?" Bulong ko.

"Vier Knight Dolohov is one of my brother's friends and one of Scorpio's friend."

"How is his family? Are they okay?"

"They are. But they made sure to keep out of the Stavos radar. They are in the Philippines, he is the business partner of your friend."

"Yttrium?" At tumango naman si John.

"How did you know all of this?" Tanong ko. Sasagot na sana siya ng biglang marinig ko ang planong gusto nilang gawin sa pamilya ko.

"Kylo, divorce your wife. We need to search for that Villaverde bitch to take them down." Vincent said.

"They don't know that he is already married to that bitch." Bulong ni John at naglakad na palayo sa akin.
