My Serendipity

26: Way back into her

Alessia's pov:

"Boss, pagpahingahin mo naman ako!" pagrereklamo ni Trevor sa kabilang linya.

"Hindi" Mabilis na sagot ko rito.

Narinig ko pa sa kabilang linya ang madrama niyang pagkunwaring iyak "Boss, three years na akong walang pahinga! hindi kona nga natututukan ang bar ko! at higit sa lahat hindi na ako nagka girlfriend! baka tumanda akong binata nito!"

"Want me to burn that damn Bar?" seryosong sabi ko sakanya. Akala niya ay hindi kona naalala iyong ginawa niya? he bought that goddamn bar with my own money. buraot ang putangina.

"Heto nga oh nandito na ako, bukas na bukas maaga rin akong magtatrabaho para bantayan siya. hindi na ako mag-aasawa para lang bantayan ang ex wife mo"

Napailing nalang ako sa kakulitan niya. Pinatay kona rin ang call, at umupo sa swivel chair ko.

I turned to the glass wall and caught a glimpse of the New York City lights. An endless sea of golden glows, neon bursts, and shimmering reflections danced across the skyline. It was breathtaking, like a living canvas painted with dreams, movement, and sleepless wonder.

Little by little, the memories from three years ago began to creep back in. Quietly, sharply, like a wound that stings.

After the accident, my grandfather brought me here to New York to ensure my safety. He was afraid. Afraid he'd lose me too.

I had been in a coma for three months. The doctors said it was a miracle I even survived the traumatic brain injury. But thank God, I woke up.

The first thing I did was contact Mike, Trevor, Von, and Rei. They were the only people I truly trusted. And for Rei's safety, I told her everything. Every detail. Every danger. I made sure the organization would protect her. That was non-negotiable.

For the past three years, I tried to live normally. I continued my studies, kept my head down. But beneath the surface, I was working. Watching. Making sure the organization stayed intact. We launched a quiet investigation that uncovered more than I ever imagined. The truth was far uglier than I expected.

The real enemies were not just criminals. They were monsters hiding in human skin.

Still, above all else, I made sure she was safe.

I knew everything she had done over those years. She never stopped searching for me. She never gave up. And yes, I knew. I watched from a distance. Quietly...Painfully.

Rei kept me updated in every way she could. Even during her graduation, when I couldn't show myself, we video-called. I watched her standing in her cap and gown, radiant and proud. She graduated with Latin honors.

I couldn't be there. But I saw her. And I was proud. So proud of the woman she had become. Of the strength she carried.

if you will ask me if I hate her, my answer is no, I never hated her. I couldn't.
She was the only thing that kept me sane.

My gaze shifted to the drawer I rarely opened. I reached for the envelope I had kept for years. It was clean, perfectly preserved as if untouched by time. Inside was a document with my name printed clearly across the top.

It was all there. The legal proof that I was to inherit everything.

The company. The properties. The accounts. Even the hacienda we grew up in.

But signing it came with a cost. The moment my name became official, people I cared about could be in danger. It felt as if invisible snipers were already in position, fingers on the trigger, just waiting for me to make a move.

That was why I hesitated. Why I had been careful. Why I remained in the shadows.

I never wanted anyone else to suffer because of me. When my grandfather handed me the envelope, I was stunned. I had expected this moment eventually. But not so soon.
Not now, when everything is still a mess.

I am currently inside my freaking private plane, flying back to the philippines.

Wala akong balak umuwi ng maaga, pero dahil sa walanghiyang Rei na'to ay napag desisyunan kong umuwi ng maaga.

flashback:

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing nonstop. I answered the call, but kept my eyes closed.

"Bro, may nanliligaw na kay Aia, gwapo, matcho, mayaman, at higit sa lahat nakakausap at nahahawakan niya, hindi katulad mo." bungad niya sa akin.

Mabilis pa sa alas kwatrong umupo ako at dumilat.

what the fucking fuck?!

"Ano?!" Pasigaw na tanong ko rito, pero hindi niya ako sinagot at mabilis lang na ibinaba ang tawag.

TANGINAMOKA TALAGA, REI!!

end of flashback.

Alam kong hindi maganda ang paghihiwalay namin, hindi rin ako magtataka kung nagka balikan sila ni koby, okaya ay may nagugustuhan na siyang bago.

Pero naiisip ko palang ay nahuhurt na ang puso ko.

Lord naman eh, siya lang po talaga ang gusto ko kahit na nagka amnesia siya, kahit nasaktan niya ako huhu! siya pa rin talaga ang gusto ko!

I can't stop myself from loving her, naalala ko pa noong mga bata kami, hindi siya sumuko sa pagbibigay ng mga sulat sa akin, syempre hindi naman ako easy to get kaya kunwari hindi ko rin siya crush mwhehehe.

I'm willing to sacrifice everything for her. I'll understand every part of her, even the ones that hurt. I could never blame her for not recognizing me. She's a victim of my world too.

So this is what it means to love, isn't it?
You love her when she's at her best,
and you choose to understand her when she's not.

When everything is over, when I've finished what I started, when I've taken back what was stolen and served the revenge I owe, I'll come back to you.

I just hope you'll still be there.
I hope you'll still be waiting for me.
