LOVE & REVENGE- THE RETURN OF THE HEIRESS

Chapter 3: Brielle's Home

Going to Brielle's villa Ivana remains silent. The car entered in an exclusive villa town with different high rise western-inspired villas. She knows that Brielle has been very successful business tycoon at a young age but she wasn't aware of his kind of lifestyle. Pakiramdam nya matutunaw sya sa sobrang kahihiyan habang nakiramdam sa presensya nito sa tabi nya mismo.

Pinili na rin ni Brielle na manahimik dahil wala sya sa mood na kausapin si Ivana habang nasa loob sila ng sasakyan at nakikinig ang Assistant nya. She had blackmailed him using a video she had recorded but she knows he can easily prove himself innocent but he accepted her proposal. Huminto ang sasakyan sa harapan ng isang malaking villa. Bigla itong bumukas at diretsong pumasok ang kotse ni Brielle. Pagbaba nila ng sasakyan namangha sya sa laki ng bahay nito na puno ng iba't ibang palamuti. It is in an expensive villa that cost millions of dollars.

"Come inside!" she heard Brielle's voice while heading towards the main door.

Pagpasok nila sa sala lalo syang namangha sa nakitang dekorasyon sa loob, mamahaling muwebles at malalaking abstract paintings na nakasabit sa wall ng hagdan paakyat sa ikalawang palapag.

"Uhm! Brielle, your back!" bati ni Yaya Santina na lumabas mula sa dining room.

"Yaya Santina, please take care of my visitor Ivana Huo! She's our house guest from now on. Don't mention to my Mom and Dad about her, okay?"

"Oh, sige sabi mo eh. Napakagandang dalaga, welcome home, Ivana!" nakangiting bati ni Yaya Santina

"H-Hello Yaya Santina! Thanks a lot. I'm Ivana Huo, Brielle's---" she began to introduce herself.

Brielle immediately cut her words, "She's my personal assistant!" sabay titig sa kanya ng masama.

Hilaw na ngiti ang namutawi sa labi ni Ivana bago sumagot, "Yeah, I'm his personal assistant Yaya Santina!"

"Ah, okay! Welcome home, Ivana! Halika may hinanda akong pagkain sumabay kana sa amin. Madalang kasing umuwi si Brielle dito dahil sa mismong condo nya, sa City proper sya umuuwi dahil mas malapit iyon sa opisina nya," sabi nito

"Yaya, you bring Miss Ivana later at the master's bedroom. I will be heading to the office," he said and look at her in a stern manner.

"Ivana, I will be back tonight, I will bring some clothes later on," he said again then turned to leave.

"Take care, Brielle. See you tonight!" she replied in a sweet tone.

Nakaalis na si Brielle at inaya sya ni Yaya Santina sa dining room. Nakita nya ang masarap na pagkain na nakahain sa dining table. Bigla sya nakaramdam ng gutom at pagkaupo nya kaagad na pinagsilbihan sya ng Yaya ni Brielle.

"Yaya, I can do it! You sit now and let's eat!" she said while smiling at her.

"Okay, you dig in!" Yaya Santina smile back and talk again, "You know what, this is the first time Brielle bring woman in his house. Alam kong hindi ka nya personal assistant dahil kailanman di sya kumuha ng babaeng alalay sa mga gawain nya at iuuwi sa bahay. Hay, Brielle is like his Dad, so strict and serious. Maliit pa si Brielle ako na ang nag-alaga sa kanya," mahabang paliwanag nito habang naglalagay ng pagkain sa plato.

Namula bigla ang pisngi ni Ivana ng marinig ang sinabi ng Yaya ni Brielle. Nag-uumpisa na syang kumain at hindi nya alam ang tamang salitang sasabihin rito.

"Pasensya na po kayo kung nakaistorbo ako sa buhay ni Brielle. I know him since childhood, back in Singapore. My mom is a Filipina and I learned to speak her language because of Denise, I'm her best friend since high school in London," she said.

"I see, Denise is a naughty and carefree young lady. She's only fifteen this year and still managed to follow her brother sometimes. Umaalis sa poder ng parents nya at pumupunta dito sa Beijing dahil laging sinusundan non si Brielle,"
