"How much does it take to love the person you've been longing for?"
"How much and I will gladly pay for it."
" Just don't leave me. Please!!!"
As I woke up, I found myself crying again. When will this nightmare stop?
How I wish that his words stop on haunting me every goddamn single moment.
Because honestly it only makes things worst.
I stared at my ceiling for I don't how many hours until I slowly get up when I heard somebody knocked on my door
"Alicia, are you okay?"
Am I okay? of course I am not. How I wish I could utter those words to her
"Yes I am" I smiled a bit to make her at least lessen her worries - it's awful to see her that way after all she's a big part of why I was suffering for 3 damn years.
"Sigurado ka?" I nodded
"Well then, I prepared Breakfast, get yourself fix before you come down." she spatted
Again, I nodded.
It was our everyday routine for the past 3 years. She'll knock to tell me breakfast is ready then I Just don't give a fuck about everything she says, going to say and said.
Minsan kase kailangan mong mawalan na lang ng pake sa lahat..para masaya!
After I've done all my morning rituals, bumaba na ko sa dining. Only to see them, eating like a perfect family. Aakalain mo talagang perpekto, they got the fame, money- billions of money, successful children. Ano pa bang hihilingin ng pamilyang 'to? Ah oo, totoong pagmamahalan, totoong kasiyahan.
Wala kame nun. Ako ang pangalawang panganay sa limang magkakapatid. Nasaksihan ko kung paano kontrolin ang buhay ng bawat isa samin just to fit in that standard of being a "PERFECT FAMILY" wherein lahat ng bagay ginagamitan ng pera, lahat issues ng isang miyembro ng aming pamilya, babayaran para mapak-takpan, kahit pulis- bigyan mo ng isang milyon, paktatakpan at paktatakpan ka sa lahat ng krimen mo eh.
"Good Morning! Alicia. Have a seat."
"Good Morning Dad." Always note my sarcasm.
As I sit on my designated seat, which happens to be in front of my mother, I saw Brent looking at me intently.
"Is there a problem Kuya? "
Now everyone's attention was on him. That's better, he likes attention anyway.
I saw how he shifted on his seat before he responds to my question.
"None. I was just curious why your eyes look-" before he could point something,
I cut him off.
" Well, my eyes looks fine, see there's a mascara on it, a dark brown eye shadow that matches my skin tone and a pair of yellow contact lenses. IT. IS. FINE."
He shrugs. "If you say so sis." then he smirks at me and continue eating his breakfast.
Damn it. Some peeps don't know when to pick a fight eh?
"Alicia, I see that you're in a right age to marry. You're 27 and still single, I guess we should introduce to Patrimono's son? He got the biggest law firm in our industry, Perhaps you should meet him. Don't you think?"
LAW. Tsk.
" Wag baka makulong na kayo pag nag asawa yan ng abogado" Katarina murmured.
"Hahahaha. You think Katarina?" I ask her.
She winks at me and continue nibbling her bread. My my this girl loves trash talking so damn much.
" Excuse me, Ates what are you talking about?" he asks innocently, when we know all his dirty secrets.
"None Justin, finish your food so you could go to school early." Katarina spatted.
"Well, I don't think that's a nice idea Father to marry somebody I don't even know. Who knows where that guy came from."
" All that matters is his company and money and how he could help in our business."
Tss. Money Money Money he reminds me of Mr. Potato Head. All that matters is his money. Right!
"I'm done here. Excuse me."
There's no way in hell they are going to use me for their schemes. OH HOW UNLUCKY AM I TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS KIND OF FAMILY.
I head out in our mansion and went to my Aston Martin Rapide S and drove it to MY company.
