      "When are you planning to get her Eugene? Inip na inip na ako." I drank my red wine with annoyance. Asar akong nakatingin kay Euguene Esacalante, ang taong tumutulong sa akin para maisagawa ko ang mga plano ko.

"Shut up okay? I'm working on it. Stay still, she'll be on my hands one of these days. I'll make sure of that."

I frowned. Not convinced with what he is saying,  "You better make sure of that Escalante, dahil sa oras na pumalya ang plano nating dalawa hindi lang ako ang sabit dito.. pati ikaw, magkasama tayong babagsak sa kulungan.." makahulugan kong sambit sakaniya.

Alam kong tumatak iyon sa kaniyang utak, utak niyang walang ibang inisip kung hindi ang babaeng iyon.

I'm itching to finally get my revenge to that bitch, I've waited for nine long years I won't let this chance of destroying that bitch slip away. Kahit na kating kati na akong pahirapan siya katulad ng ginawa niya at ng pamilya niya saakin at sa pamilya ko, kailangan parin naming mag ingat. Isang pagkakamali lang sa mga plano namin, damay ang buong angkan ng mga Escalante.

Sabagay, sa oras naman na makuha ko na ang gusto ko.. ang susunod kong  kukunin ay ang yaman ng mga Escalante, or maybe her towering career perhaps? Alin kaya ang mas maganda hmm?

I smiled with the thought. I'm going to shut down your spotlight now Athena, just wait and see.

"I know, I am completely aware of that Sharmaine. I just need some more time, a perfect timing to abduct her. After that she's ours.." he said while staring at the television in front of us.

With sharp eyes I watched on the huge screen the unforgettable face of the woman who dragged me and my family down into the dirtiest ground of Earth.

Malapit na tayong magkitang muli Athena Francheska Benitez.. and it will surely feel like the damn good old days.

Athena's

  "OKAY, let's call it a day! Good job everyone! Especially you miss Athena! Bukas na ang show, make sure that all of you will do your very best to make our spectators enjoy the concert. This is one in a million!"

Nakangiti naming binati ang isa't isa. This is our final practice for our network's out of the country show. Kahit hindi ko ipahalata ay excited na rin ako para bukas. Perks of being the event's highlight.

Inabutan ako ni Calista, my manager ng isang bote ng mineral water. "You are very talented talaga A, hindi ako nagsisisi na ikaw ang hinandle ko. You made me very proud today.."

I smiled genuinely at her, malaki din ang pasasalamat ko sakaniya dahil noong inayawan ko ang pag take over sa kumpanya ng family namin, she was there to help me. She introduced me to the complicated and messy showbiz industry. My father did not like my decision, he even froze all of my assets and liabilities para lang hadlangan ang pag aartista ko,good thing mom was there to convince papa.. since she was also a beauty queen of her regime, naiintindihan niya where I am going.

"It's nothing Calista, I should be the one thanking you instead. Thank you for the past six years, you faced all of my issues and controversies with me,  hindi mo ako sinukuan. Thank you for as well, being such a good friend. I am happy that I met you and Elmo.." I sincerely said. Totoo iyon, I am very much happy that I met them, dahil sa lahat ng controversies na napasukan ko, they were one of those people who always and willing to protect me.
