Author's Note: I'm not available today that's why I'm updating this now. Dapat mamaya sana 'to but I guess it can't be helped. =) Sundays had always been family day. =) Ganun din ba kayo sa mga family ninyo?

Make Me Come song of the day: 마지막처럼 (AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST) by Blackpink

--------

Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig ng banggitin ng headmistress ang totoo kong pangalan. Never in my wildest dreams I imagined that she'll learn of my real identity.

"You're Shekainah Li Chandler. The only princess of the Fang family who's declared as the number one mafia clan in Southeast Asia. When you we're still a baby. Ninakaw ka ng mga Ongcoy mula sa mga Fang. Umaasa silang sa pagkawala ng nag-iisang prinsesa, hihina ang mga Fang but they're wrong. Lalong lumakas ang mga Fang. They became untouchable."

Naikuyom ko ang kamay ko sa mga sinabi niya. Hindi ko magawang magsalita dahil hindi ko maikakailang totoo ang mga sinabi niya. Everything that she had said so far is the truth and nothing but the truth.

And I hate it.

"Though it took them years to find you, the Fangs managed to find you though there's a twist." Ngumisi siya. "Minahal ka ni Mrs. Ongcoy na para bang sarili ka niyang anak. She let you live like a princess. Treated you like her own one because she longed for a daughter too because she had an only son for a child. Napalapit ka na sa kanya and it was hard for you to leave Mrs. Ongcoy. Tama ba ako?"

"How did you learned about this?" Hindi ko alam kung saan ko nahanap ang lakas ng loob para itanong iyon sa kanya.

Tons of possibilities are slowly consuming my mind. Hindi kaya nahanap na ako ng daddy? Nahanap na ba ako ng mga Chandler?

But then one thought sent shivers to my spine.

Hindi kaya sinabi sa kanya ni Dan ang totoo?

"Let's continue the story-telling shall we? You have an interesting story Ms. Chandler." Nakangising sabi niya na para bang aliw na aliw siyang ikwento sa akin ang kwento ng buhay ko.

I'm starting to hate her now.

"When you we're seven, naging masidhi ang kagustuhan ng mga Fangs na mabawi ka. Kade was pressured to have you back because your biological mom, Fang Li Xue, is already suffering from depression because of what happened to you. Pero hindi ka mabawi ng totoo mong ama dahil mas gusto mo nang makasama ang kinalakihan mong pamilya kaysa sa kanila."

Why? Who? Sino ba talaga ang nagsabi sa kanya ng mga impormasyong 'to? How did she managed to learn about the truth?

Isang tao lang ang napagsabihan ko ng kwentong 'to. Si Dan lang. Kahit na masakit sa aking pagbintangan siya, wala na akong ibang maisip na makakapagsabi sa kanya ng kwentong iyon. Si Dan lang.

Pero bakit? Bakit niya sasabihin sa headmistress yun?

"And your resistance brought another bloody war between the two clans."

When she said that, napapikit ako. Totoo ang mga sinabi niya. My resistance that time became the ultimatum for another bloody clan war. Ako ang dahilan kung bakit nagsimula ang giyera sa pagitan ng dalawang pamilya.

Kaya nga noong nalaman kong nag-aaway si Dan at si Gab ng dahil sa akin, I immediately made a move for them to reconcile. Ayoko nang may magpatayan pa ulit ng dahil sa akin.

I learned at such a young age that if you're stuck in a middle of something, it's not always the best solution to choose one.

Because choosing one will mean war. A never ending war of claiming one's stake.
