Locked Up for Love (Ongoing)

Chapter 2

Flashback (Six months earlier)

" Terrific!" The photographer shouted with glee. The camera continued to flash while I do my thing.

I'm Sofia Saavedra. A college student and model. Yeah, I'm pretty popular. Oh well – What can you do? Kasalanan ko bang ipanganak akong mayaman at maganda?

Yes, maganda ako. Magandang magandang maganda! Habulin ako ng mga lalaki, ng mga big time modeling agencies at kinaiingitan ng mga babae. I've got a superb physique that any girl would die for and men lust after.

I smiled nang matapos na ang photoshoot. Nakakapagod nang mag elaborate – We just chit chat for a couple of minutes then I went to the parking lot and drove my car.

Bumusina ako sa tapat ng gate ng bahay namin. Seconds after, the gate opened and I parked my car inside.

Pumasok agad ako sa bahay. Bumungad sakin ang dalawang kapatid ko. Labag man sa loob pero kapatid ko talaga sila – Well, half siblings that is.

"A-Ate." Sabay nilang sambit. Kahit kelan hindi ko sila tinrato bilang kapatid. Isa lang silang anak sa labas ng malibog kong tatay.

I can't believe my dad had the guts to bring these parasites home.

I raised my brows and walked past them. Their mom is dead kaya kinupkop sila ni daddy. Nung una hindi matanggap ni mommy. Nilayasan nga kami eh – But after 9 months bumalik agad after mahanap namin. Sa huli natanggap na niya. Mom treated them as her own now – Which for me is a total piece of crap.

"Umm a-ate kumain ka na ba? Nagluto po ako." Phoebe said. I faced her and eyed her from head to toe. Nakakainis talaga ang pagmumukha niya.

"No thanks. Baka may lason."

"Ate. Please stop it." Said the protective brother. His name is Paul and I don't like him at all.

I scoffed, "You've got no right to tell me what to do."

"Hindi porket tanggap na kayo ni mommy eh tanggap ko na rin kayo." I added. Napayuko naman sila, "You both are just a bastard child anyway." Phoebe gasped at my remark.

"Ate! Sumusobra ka na!" Sigaw bigla ni Paul. Did he just shout at me? No one would even dare.

I walked up to him and slapped him real hard na halos matumba siya, "Oh my god!" Dali-dali namang pumunta si Phoebe sa tabi niya at inalalayan siya.

I clenched my fist, " Your every breath insults me."

"Get rid of us then." Paul shot back.

"Trust me, I'd love to. And it's far worser than you think it would be." I muttered with gritted teeth. Napayuko naman si Phoebe while Paul looked away.

I hate these two so much it sickens me. I gave them one last glance and walked straight up to my room.

Hindi nila alam kong anong pinagdaanan namin ni mommy nang mambabae si daddy. Every cry of my mom pained me so much habang ang magaling kong tatay ay nagpakasaya sa piling ng iba.
