A/n: Purely authors imagination. None of these really happens in real life.

Alice Pov

I woke up feeling sore all over my body, and madam senator is no longer beside me. I wonder what time she went out.

I did my routine, hindi na paulit ulit dahil may biniling libangan saken si madam senator. Mga abubot para makagawa ng bracelets, ang cute nga e.

Malapit ko ng matapos yung isang bracelet, but I got interrupted by a sudden knocks on my door.

Could it be Ms. Risa?

The joy drew all over my face by the thought of that. I hurriedly went to my door while smiling widely. The face Ms. Leny appeared in front of me.

What is she doing here?

"Senator Leny,"I mumbled. She looked fierce and annoyed. I accompanied her inside my cell but she shook her head.

"I'm not gonna waste my time here, I came to tell you to stop what's between you and Risa." Walang preno niyang sabi. I was stunned. I hold my breath for a second, looking lost and confused.

"Uhm, Senator Leny. I don't think you have the right to tell me what I should do with Ms. Risa." I said angrily. I see her jaw clenching.

"Stop it, will you? You know things are complicated for both of you. It's Forbidden Desires, Ms. Guo. Your relationship with Risa will be kept in private, you don't have freedom to love outside, people will only hate you, especially now that Risa is a senator of this country and you're known as a daughter of a criminal and you itself is a criminal." Mas diniinan niya ang mga katagang iyon. I greeted my teeth. Damn her!

"I can't, I don't want to. You may now leave po." Slammed the door on her face. Pumunta lang siya dito para sabihin ang walang kwentang 'yon!

But not gonna lie, her words are like a dagger that was thrown at me altogether. Para akong pinagsasaksak ng paulit ulit. She was right, kapag nalaman ng lahat ang tungkol samin, maaaring isa sa amin ang mapahamak o mas masama pa ay pareho kaming dalawa. Hindi ko kayang isipin na masisira ang image at reputation ni Ms. Risa ng dahil lang sa pagmamahalan namin. I can't bear to see her ruined and blamed.

What should I do? Will I just give up? Or should I fight for us? Fuck it!

Risa Pov

Punyeta 'tong mga hearing sunod sunod, after ng kay Alice, Sa Confidential funds tapos ngayon naman ay sa isang pareng may kaso ng human trafficking din, wtf!

I'm losing my temper in a freaking early morning, why is everyone being so annoying these days? I wanna go to Alice, my comfort human. Bukas na ang araw na huhusgahan siya ng korte, maya-maya nalang siguro ako pupunta. Miss na miss ko na ang Alice ko!

I left her kanina without leaving any notes because I wanted to surprise her with these small gifts for her. It's a necklace with an R pendant on it, while I have an A. Sweet, isn't it? shet kinikilig ako sa effort ko!

*Dook knocks*

The door opened, Leny's face greets me. "Ris! The heck. Hindi ka raw umuwi sabi ni nanay Tess. Dun sa selda nung babaeng yon ka na naman ba natulog?" She said it sarcastically. I'm pissed by the sounds of her voice. Gosh, she's irritating!

"Your voice, Len. I don't like it. What do you want ba? Why do you care kung saan ako natulog yesterday?" I said coldly, mukang napansin niya kaya she fixes her posture and approaches me.
