I am Me

Lady Van Doren 1

"Van Doren the biggest developers in Asia claims number one richest family in Asia"

"Van Doren company secures spot in their new Shipping line after securing their spot in Hotel and Restaurant, Medical and Aircraft Industry"

"Head of the family Arkian Van Doren decides to divide Real Estate company, giving its head position to his three sons instead of one"

"Nyx Hermoine Van Doren, the heiress of billion worth hotel and restaurant chains of Van Doren, opened another charity"

"You made it to the front page, again" I stopped sipping on my tea and immediately scanned the newspaper after those words left Astrid's mouth. I sighed after reading it

"How did they even got hold of this information? As far as I remember I told everyone to keep quiet about this" I definitely remember talking politely to the people involved na wag ikalat ang impormasyon na iyon pero katulad lang ng iba kong charity openings ay na bunyag din ito

"Is that even a question? Somehow, those paparazzis always have a scoop about us. Alam nila ang lahat sa atin. It's like they haave eyes around us" Eleanor, my other cousin, answered while looking around the garden where the three of us are staying, drinking our morning tea

Eleanor Van Doren, the second child of Remus and Patricia Van Doren, the big sis of the twins, Nikolai Van Doren and Estevan Van Doren. Tito Remus is the second child of Lolo Arkie securing him our billions worth Medical Companies

"Oh, how I would love to use a little bit of what we have to just scare them away from us, but , Lolo would probably disown us" as exaggerated as Astrid sound, she is telling the truth

Astrid Lavigne Van Doren, the second born of Alejandro and Maria Van Doren, the little sister of Maximus Van Doren and the big sister of Prescott Van Doren. Tito Alejandro is Lolo Arkie's youngest kaya naman nakuha nito ang billions worth Aircraft Companies ng pamilya

There was this one time na nakalimutan naming magpipinsan na magpasukat at hindi kami naka pagawa ng suit at gowns and the dinner is happening in an hour. What we did was go to the nearest mall, pinasara 'yon for us at bumili nalang

Of course Lolo found out, he lectured us about being irresponsible and made us face the wall while kneeling. I was 20 that time. 20.

Hermoione Nyx Van Doren, I am the youngest of my father Leo Van Doren and Isabella Van Doren, the little sister of Shin Gabriel Van Doren. My father is the eldest of all the three Van Doren's. Lolo Arkie gave him our billions worth Hotels and Restaurants

Our Shipping Lines are handled by our parents same with our Real Estate company. You see our family is not just rich, we're rich rich. Our family's rich did not came from the typical blood, sweat and tears instead, it came from ages ago. Andito na ang pamilya namin nung wala pang masyadong tao sa Pilipinas, isa ang pamilya namin sa nagtayo ng ibat ibang ekstraktura ng Pilipinas. In short our family is OLD MONEY RICH. This makes us respected not just in the Philippines but also in Asia

We continued our little chit chats until an annoying voice interrupted us

"Hey, three not so little witches, breakfast is served, pumasok nakayo" that annoying voice belong to none other than Maximus. The guys are always like that, palibhasa kami lang ang babae, we're basically out numbered by them.

Today is Sunday and Sunday is basically our family day. This have been our family's tradition. Kahit pa may kanya kanya nang pamilya ang mga magulang naming ay hindi kami pumapalya basta tungkol sa pamilya. We also gather here sa mansion ni Lolo every Sunday.

"New fruits nanaman Lo?" Astrid asked Lolo after seeing the dining table full of fruits. Last week ganito din but ibang klase yun na mga prutas.

Lolo have this fruit supplier that apparently, supplies him fruits for free. He said its an old friend of his that owes him a favor

"Yep, my fruit supplier is always generous" Lolo answered with his boyish grin. Well, kahit na Lolo is already in his 70's ay matipuno parin ito. Dito ata nang galling ang genes namin, well, that's what he tells us tho I believe galling ang good genes namin kay Lola, but she's not with us anymore

We sat on our assigned seats and prayed, aftfer that ay nag simul ana kaming kumain

"So, school starts tomorrow, I believe someone's excited?" I heard loud oh's from the table making my face heat up. I should have known na mapupunta dito ang topic

Eleanor, Astrid and I will start our 4th year in college tomorrow. Eli is taking her pre Med course, Astrid in her pre Pilot course habang Business Ad naman ang akin

Kuya Gab and Kuya Max already graduated. Kuya Gaab graduated 3 years ago while Kuya Max graduated 2 years ago. As of now ay unti unti na silang tumotulong sa kompanya

The twins, Estevan and Nikolai are already in 2nd year in college with Business Ad. Lastly, Prescott, he is still in his 12th grade in Highschool

"You're still pinning for that guy Oine?--- ow" Tita Patricia nudge Tito Remus when he asked that

Dad coughed violently while mom rubbed his back. Tuloy lang sila sa pang aasar sa akin, I just pouted with their antics.

The day ended fast and I'm currently in my bed with nothing but my robe. I like to sleep like this. Nag hihintay lang ako na dalawin ng antok ng biglang tumunog ang Notification ko

Apollo Rio Black posted a new photo

I smiled wildly and clicked on the notification, agad na bumungad sa akin ang mukha ni Apollo. He posted a picture of himself staring lazily at the camera in his manly PJ's with the caption ' I love night time' . Napasimangot ako ng Makita ko na ang rami ng mga babaeng nag cocoment kahit pa it was just posted minutes ago.

I was contemplating on what to do, should I chat him? Or act cutely? Hmmm. Nope, hindi dapat ako ang mauna, I should just be pa hard to get, after all I am not desperate

"The night looks lovely right Apollo? I wish you a Goodnight <3" sent

The flattery I felt and the smile on my face vanished nang Makita ko na na seen zone nanaman akao

Oo, nanaman. Just like my other messages, he left me on seen

Well, atleast he opened my messages? Grrrrr

I have been pinning for Apollo for 3 years, nag rereply lang siya kung tungkol sa mga projects but other than that wala na

'well, tomorrow is a new year, cheer up Hermoine, you have to make it. You have to accomplish your goal since you stepped into that school' I bit my lips with that thought

This year is my last year, hindi lang bilang isang estudyante kundi pati narin kay Apollo. I promised myself that I would stop acting like a lost puppy after I graduate

That's why I have to make Apollo love me before this school year ends. This is my goal
