Chapter 1 ~ Going Home

" My lovely moonless night, shine through me and take away the fright, Sit beside me in this empty ground, where I shed my tears profound. My lovely moonless night be with me in your radiant light, In your shadow on this vast sky, I set you my long and unheard sigh." - April Rose Lovitos (ps.BFF ko gumawa nyan hihi, proud bff here)

 nakatingin lang ako sa kawalan nang may kumatok sa pintuan ng kwarto    " Leo what is it?" tanong ko sa right hand man ko na pumasok . "CROSS pinapatawag po kayo ni big boss" pahayag niya at umalis na agad. 

Lumabas ako sa kwarto ko at pumunta sa office ni Daddy, Oo siya ang tinutukoy na big boss ni Leo. kumatok ako at pumasok. "Dad" nag nod ako bilang pag galang sa boss namin. "sit down" utos niya.

"You are going home" sabi niya habang naakatingin sa picture namin ni mommy sa desk niya, "ikaw ang mamahala sa Head Quarters natin sa Philippines, your flight will be this evening , Leo will accompany you there but hindi kayo pareho ng flight schedule" tahimik lang ako nakikinig kay dad sa mga utos niya.

So hindi pala kami magksabay ni Leo... I thought so , delikado para sa akin even if I can handle myself, I'm sure alam na ng mga kalaban namin na pinapa uwi na ako ni Dad sa Pilipinas, hindi man alam ng mga kaalaban namin ang mukha ko pero alam nilang parating na ako. Kaya mina buti nalang ni papa na hindi kami mag kasabay ni Leo kasi marami nang nakakakilala nito. May private planes at jets naman kami pero masyado itong obvious.

Pinasunog  ni Dad ang lahat ng pictures ko pagka bata , at pina erase lahat nang files sa akin sa internet para protektahan ako, he gave me a new identity na malapit lang din sa pagalan ko bilang si Samantha Carlton.

Japan 7:30 flight will be landing 3 mins from now....

Hindi pa rin ako maka paniwala, I'm here, Im back home , Im back where every thing in my life changed. Its been 9 years since my Dad and I left.

I know we left not just for the reason of giving me a peaceful life but para tumakas, para iwan ang mga ala-ala namin ni mommy, I still remember I was having my tantrums after sa burol ni mommy .

hindi ko na alam pano umiyak pagkatapos pinatay si mommy sa harap ko, she was mercilessly murdered right before my eyes, galit na galit ako kay Daddy kasi aalis daw kami nang Pilipinas papunta Japan sabi ko pa sa kanya " No dad! i won't ! i wont leave mom! i want  revenge, dont make me go with you!!" 

  " I know princess, i want to do that to, but not right now, this is not the right time" nahinahon naman ako after niyan at sumama kay Dad. 

I continued my studies, training and prepared myself  to take up our business. Our family owns Senturia company. Ito ang pinakamakapangyarihan at pinaka yaman sa Asia and also... I am the only heiress to the most powerful mafia here in Asia, the Black CROSS. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 As I arrived , I already knew what to do, naka plano na ang lahat at gagawin ko ang lahat upang maikasatuparan iyon.

I walked towards the glass doors and saw a very familiar face. Her dark ebony hair cascades down to her waist as her dark gray eyes searched for me. 

" Sam!" sigaw niya and napatakbo papunta sa akin,  and there she is still wearing her beautiful, honest  smile. " Katie " i returned hugging her, miss na miss ko itong best friend ko, she's  like family na rin.

As I hug her tightly I remembered everything we did together as kids, mga kalolohan namin, mga asaran,iyakan at katuwaan. I looked at her teary eyed, she never changed, still the same sweet Katie, at meron pa rin siyang dalawang body guards.

Well for someone so important to society why wouldn't she. Katie or si Katherine Charlotte Monette ay ang pangalawang anak nina tita Katerina Fajardo- Monette and tito Charles Monette, and the heiress to the Monette Shipping lines in Asia. And our family are really good friends and they also know about me.

Katies POV 

" Sam!"  mangiyak-iyak kong pa sigaw, she still looks the same as i remembered her. Her dark chocolate hair had gotten longer, her body is now maturing into a gorgeous young woman, pero her eyes changed. Her dark hazel eyes bore into mine, it's filled with sadness and anger, i know she isn't the same carefree Sam anymore, she has burdens to carry and responsibilities to take. 

" Sam i missed you so much" hindi niya ako sinagot pero she smiled, her smile was still the same though, that innocent smile na mahahawa ka kung ikaw ang makakita.

Alam ko na ang pag punta niya dito sa Pilipinas is not for vacation, Contessa Raizel Olendra Samantha Senturia  o Sam is now the head of the Black CROSS and he head of the Carlton Group of Companies.Ang pinaka mayaman at makapangyarihan sa company dito sa Philippines and topping some others globally.

 Sam's POV

After a few minutes of kadramahan namin sa airport ay nandito na kami sa car ni Katie.  "So Sam how's Japan? I'm sure meron kanang boylet dun! moshi  moshi ano ne? " pang asar niya.

 "Hahaha shunga! wala no!"  she broke the silence and that statement really made me laugh, at ngayon lang ako tumawa nang  ganito. " Ano ka ba?! alam mo namang busy ako noh! wala akong time sa mga ganyan" sabi ko naman habang natatawa, at napansin kong ganito ang mukha ni Kaatie oh----->   *o*  

Na shock siguro sa pag tawa ko , ako din naman ngayon lang ako nakarinig muli sa pagtawa ko , akala ko nakalimutan ko na iyon.

"Sus ! eh ang ganda ganda mo naman tulad ko! masungit ka siguro sa kanila noh? " pang asar na naman nang babaeng ito at naka pout pa !

"hoi! Katherine Charlotte Monette! huwag ka ngang mag pout dyan! hindi ka cute nag mumukha kang isda!" tumatawa naman ako, na miss ko to , i really do.

 I missed all our silly talks, kumbaga lahat ng mga ginagawa namin noon ay na miss ko, yung walang pake alam sa mga bagay bagay. Yung mga batang walang alam kundi mag laro at mag katuwaan lang pero alam kong hindi yun mangyayari pang muli.
