The Prince Who Caught My Tangled Heart (Prince Series 5)

Prologue

Prologue

I harshly slumped my missing poster on my table. My eyes burned with so much hatred as I scanned every detail of my image. Even the note made my blood boil.

Kaninong pera ang gamit niya sa pabuya?! It's fucking mine!

I Iritatingly brushed my fingers through my hair as I paced inside my filthy hideout with one of my hands on my waist. Then I started biting my fingernails due to agitation. 

I have to do something! 

"How dare you, Mommy Gothella! You insolent witch! Gold digger! Hayop!"

I balled my fist tightly. I knew that she wouldn't give up. 

I am a treasure box.

She would do everything to hold me and have the huge fortune. Sisikmurain niyang makita araw-araw ang mukha ko at pilit na itatago ang inggit niya sa katawan para lang sa pera. 

As much as I wanted to see her suffer and succumb to her own insecurities as I played dress-up and pretty in front of her hideous face, I couldn't just let her do her plans.

Pero masisisi ko ba siya sa inggit niya? Of course, I am beautiful and young with a good body. Ano lang naman ang magpapasaya sa kanya? My father's money na puwede niyang gamitin para ipagpilitan ang gusto niyang ganda.

My inheritance that she took an interest in!

I tried to glance at my poster again. I immediately closed my eyes impatiently. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. The poster had my name and my face.  

Emilia Sophia Sarmiento - Missing

She mentioned her contact information and the reward for the good Samaritan who would send her beloved niece home. 

Habang tumatagal ang titig ko sa poster ay lalong nag-iinit ang ulo ko. 

I shook my head. Gaano kahaba ang inggit nito sa akin? Kasing haba ba ng buhok ko na malapit nang umabot sa baywang ko? Because Gothella just picked my worst picture! Ang dami kong pamatay na picture sa Facebook, kinuha niya iyong sabog na ang make-up ko, magulo ang buhok at mukhang parang naka-drugs ako.

What the hell?!

"At hindi ka talaga kumuha man lang ng maganda? Inggitera ka talaga!"

Tumalikod na ako at hindi ko na tiningnan pa ang poster. Kinuha ko na sa kama ang binili ko sa 7- Eleven bago ako nagmadaling pumunta sa banyo.

I rinsed my hair. I need to hide it because it's my distinguishing feature. Dahil hindi ko nais guputin ang buhok ko, isa lang ang naisip ko. I need a new hair color.

Pinagtiyagaan kong kulayan mag-isa ang buhok ko ng ilang oras doon sa banyo. My long black shiny hair just turned into golden locks. I blow-dried it and combed it immediately.

Taas noo akong humarap sa salamin habang nakapamaywang. I'd been hearing a lot of compliments since I turned in my teenage years. Many says that I looked Elle Fanning, a famous Hollywood actress, lalo na nga raw kung magpapakulay ako ng buhok. I turned my face from left to right, trying to find the resemblance of her. Pero hindi ko talaga makita. Siguro dahil hindi talaga ako marunong tumingin ng magkamukha.

I braided my hair. I used black pants, a black shirt, white shoes, and a black cap. Sinipat ko ang relo ko, madilim na sa labas. Gusto ko sanang manatili sa loob ng hotel pero alam ko na mas mabuting hindi ako manatili sa iisang lugar na mas matagal. Lalo na't desperada na talaga iyong si Gothella.

Mas ibinaba ko ang cap ko at lumabas na ako ng kuwarto. Hanggang ngayon ay nag-iisip pa rin ako kung saan ba itong Enamel na ito. This province is never familiar with me!
