The Heiress's Revenge

Chapter 2

- Hera's POV -

Ilang araw na kong nanatili sa hotel. Gusto kong lumaban sa ilang taong pagpapahirap sa akin ng pamilya niyon pero yung puso ko nakikipagtalo sa utak ko. Kaya eto ako at nagkukulong sa kwarto kung saan ako dinala ng hotel staff. Napalingon ako ng may kumatok sa may pintuan. Gustuhin ko man pagbuksan pero wala ako sa mood para makipagngitian sa kung sino man ang naroon.

Wala pang ilang minuto ay bumukas ang pintuan at maya-maya pa ay naramdaman kong lumundo ang sofa na inuupuan ko.

"What did he do to make you leave him?" Rinig na rinig ko ang boses ni Kuya Ion. Malumanay pero alam kong nagtitimpi siya sa galit.

"Sana nakinig ako sa'yo noon nung sinabi mo sa akin na wag akong magpakasal sa kanya. Ang tanga-tanga ko."

"Hera, you are blinded by your love even if what you are feeling is not really love. Anyone who offers it on a silver platter with the kind of feeling you are feeling, I am sure will say yes as well."

Sa sinabi ni Kuya Ion doon ko napagtanto na hindi talaga pagmamahal ang nararamdaman ko pero ano?

Hindi ako nakasagot sa sinabi niya. Between us three: kuya Ion has the sense of rudeness but with a big fat reality check while kuya Crius has this happy-go-lucky aura with a savage attitude.

Me?

Kuya Ion and kuya Crius said that I am a savage with a rude attitude which is why I am friends with Haze. I know I am spoiled to them since I am the last of the bunch that our mother gave birth to when she died when I was only four years old even when she and dad wanted six kids.

"Little goddess, being stupid is part of life. I've been there, Kuya Ion been there. Learn from your stupidity." Sabi ni kuya Crius habang umuupo sa sahig na katapat ko.

"But, I am at the same age where you learn to be successful." I counter.

"Doesn't mean we learn being successful at the age of twenty-five we are no longer stupid." Kuya Crius counters back.

Savage as ever.

"Hera, what did they want that ended up you divorcing him?" Kuya Ion interjects because he knew that once Kuya Crius and I started there is no turning back.

Nilingon ko si Kuya Ion na may malungkot na mata, "gusto nilang pabagsakin tayo tulad ng ginawa nila sa Dolohov."

"Dolohov?" Nakakunot noong sabi ni Kuya Crius.

"Vier Knight Dolohov." Bulong ni kuya Ion.

"You know him?" Tanong ko.

"I knew it!" Sabi naman ni kuya Crius kasabay ng sabi ko.

Lumingon ako pabalik-balik sa dalawa kong kuya. It seems they know something na hindi ko alam.

"Vier Knight Dolohov is your supposed fiancee." Sabi ni Kuya Ion.

"What?! And why suppose?"

"They got bankrupt. Yun yung paliwanag ni tita Vera - ang nanay ni Vier. Ayaw niya na wala raw dadalhin si Vier sa pamilya natin kaya nagback out sila." Paliwanag ni kuya Ion.
