Her Deceitful Adonis

Lesson 22

Avery Rain Santillan

Medyo nakahinga ako ng maluwag ngayong nandito kami sa London. Somehow, this place feels safer than in the Philippines.

Nang sabihin ko kay daddy ang naging engkwentro ko kay Nadine isang buwan na ang nakakaraan, naging mabilis ang pagkilos niya. Tinawagan niya ang mga tauhan namin sa Pilipinas at nag-utos ng manhunt search kay Nadine. Narinig ko ring maski si Kyron tinawagan niya at tinanong niya patungkol kay Nadine.

Currently, were staying at a palace built by the Royal Family for Aunt Denise and his husband who happens to be the crowned prince of this land. Mas lalong naging kampante ang kalooban ko ng dahil sa matinding security ng Royal Family.

"I was surprised to see you here Ate Avery." Napalingon ako sa nakababata kong pinsan who happens to be the princess now. She was named as Diana Rose. Sunod sa dating prinsesa dito. "Akala ko noon si Uncle Andrew at Auntie Athena lang ang pupunta dito."

Actually sila ang may kasalanan kung bakit nahumaling at pinangarap ni Amber ang pagiging parte ng Royal Family. Parehas kasing mga tita namin ay nakapangasawa ng isang prinsipe. Hindi ko nga alam kung anong gayuma ang ginamit ni Tita Denice sa napangasawa nito. Kay tita Denise naniniwala pa akong may chance. Normal iyon eh. Si Tita Denice? Medyo napapaisip ako.

"We needed a break kaya sumama kami kina daddy. How's life being a princess?"

"Okey naman ate. Sanay naman na ako. Magmula naman pagkabata nasa amin na ang mata ng lahat lalo na at kami ang susunod sa trono nila mommy at daddy."

I was actually quite surprised to hear her calling Tita and Tito as mommy and daddy. We were not allowed to address them as Tito and Tita outside. Madalas Prince or Princess ang tawag namin sa kanila. We only have this kind of freedom here inside their mansion.

"Aren't you sometimes wishing to have a freedom like any normal girl wished?"

Nakangiting umiling ito. "Believe it or not ate, napaghandaan ko na to ever since. Habang lumalaki kami ni kuya, they are always reminding us of the duties and responsibilities of being a part of the Royal Family. Insipiration ko si mommy na kinaya ang lahat ng hirap makasama lang si daddy so I believe that I can do it myself too."

Nakakabilib ang lakas ng loob ng batang to. Tita raised her well and it was really obvious. She is fit to be the next queen of this nation.

"Nga pala ate, have you seen ate Amber? Hinahanap ko kasi siya cause I wanted to ask her about the design of the gown I'm going to wear on the Charity Ball."

"Charity ball? May magaganap ba?"

"Yes ate. Pati sina tito at tita invited. Same as you and ate Amber. Are you coming?"

Hindi nasabi sa akin nila mommy at daddy na may Charity Ball kaming dadaluhan dito. Akala ko bakasyon lang talaga ang sadya namin.

"I don't know. Hindi pa kasi nababanggit sa amin nila mommy at daddy yung patungkol sa party."

"I see. Sabi kasi ni mommy darating din daw yung mga pinsan natin kina Tita Denice. We also asked them to invite their friends para mas malaki ang makuha ng beneficiary ng ball."
