1: What's Hidden Behind Her Mask

Two

Arya Madison Kelly;

I woke up early this morning to get ready for my job today. I took a quick shower and do my skincare routine. After that, I went to my walk-in closet to find some decent suit to wear.

I wore a white fitted long sleeves and a black suit and pants. I fixed my black tie. I also put some gel on my hair, for me to look neat. I put some thin eyeliners too on my eyelids to emphasize my eyes. Put some tints to redden my lips. There, I look formal as f×ck.

I looked at my watch. It's already 7:30 am. So I walked downstairs to check if Cody and Xoan are now awake.

Naabutan ko silang sumisimsim ng kape sa kusina. Nang maglapat ang tingin ni Xoan sa direksyon ko ay bigla niyang nabuga ang kapeng iniinom. Why? May mali ba sa suot ko?

Hinagod kaagad ni Cody ang likod niya. Umubo-ubo pa kasi ito.

"Damn, Girl. You don't look like a bodyguard. Mas mukha kang CEO ng kompanya. You look so stunning in your suit." bola niya sakin.

Tumingin naman sa direksyon ko si Cody. He looked at me up and down and smiled a bit. "Yeah, Xoan's right. You don't look like a bodyguard to me."

Napairap naman ako. I just got my keys and bid them good bye and went to the frontdoor.

"Sige na alis na ako. Take care of the house for me."

Dumiretso na kaagad ako sa kotse. I used different car this time. Baka maghinala si Shun kapag ang dati kong sasakyan ang gagamitin ko. Mabuti nang nag-iingat. Di ko muna gagamitin ang Ducati ko, baka masira pa 'tong suit ko.

Nang makapasok ay isinuksok ko na rin ang baril ko sa likod ng pants ko in case of emergency and drove myself to their house. I parked my car on their garage and arrived infront of Mr. Shun at exactly 8.

He looked at his watch and look back at me with his shocked face. "Woah. You arrived in time. Tinutoo mo talaga ang sinabi ko. Very good."

Tumango lang ako bilang tugon. Nakapamulsa akong tumayo sa likod niya para hintayin siyang matapos.

"Nag-almusal kana?" he asked while drinking some coffee. Nag-aalmusal palang siya, while me? I don't have time to drink some coffee in the morning kapag may trabaho. Mamaya na ako kakain kapag nakarating na kami sa pupuntahan niya.

"Nope. I don't have time. I'm busy." tipid kong sagot.

He just nod his head and finish his meal. After that, tumayo na siya at humarap sa akin.

"Wait for me here, magbibihis lang ako."

I nod as a response again.

After a couple of minutes. Nakababa na din siya. He's wearing a plain white T-shirt and a ripped jeans. May dala rin siyang duffel bag. He walked directly to the door. Nilampasan lang talaga ako.

I followed him quietly. Not hearing my own steps on the floor.

A huge Black Van parked in front of us. Lumabas ang driver at pinagbuksan siya. Ako naman ay sumakay na at umupo sa shotgun seat.

"Good morning Sir Shun,"

"Good morning Miss Madison."

Bati ng Driver samin. I knew him. He is manong Rolando, Their family driver for 50 years. Kilala na niya ako mula pagkabata. He knew that I am the daughter of Duke Douminique Ivanov of Greece. We talked last night on the phone. I asked him not to talk about my identity. No one should know my real identity. He should Call me Madison Sandoval not Lady Arya. Only few people know my exact real name.
