In year 2006 and 2007, our family name was a powerful one. My parents were known as a thorns when it comes to business world. NJ Corporation is the company they discovered in year 2000. They actually got my two initials from that company,  but they named me after their names by jumbling the letters, I guess? In 2008 people never heard of the Britanias again, they conspired that they're daughter died too. But I didn't.

Then in year 2009, the Vbank holdings group of companies got bloomed. From its main branch to its branches. Even Aunt Ruth already told me the good condition of our company, I'm still curious how the Vendetta's company bloomed in an instant. What if there's a conspiracy between the Vendetta and Britania? Would I know their reason why they killed my parents?

Remembering the day I begged for my parents' life, squeezed my heart. Mark is right about me too that I'm like a hopeless rose. A black one, dried and tired, with a thorns of burdens, agony and great tormenting living. Everyday is just painful, is just getting harder and harder to breathe. No better purpose, it's like a cycle, a heavy one. A heavy cycle where I would run in a circle with no end.

I waited outside the main gate of Exodus University for two hours, 'cause it's already locked. Alas sais na ng umaga nang makapasok ako, nakaupo lang ako sa shed habang pinapanood ang mga sasakyan na nadaan. Paris immediately left right after I shove off from his car, hindi rin ako nakapagsalita sa sinabi niya. I don't want to entertain the idea, it's tempting, it's scary. 

Pagkarating sa room ay naligo agad ako, wala akong pake kung wala akong tulog. I'm used to it, I wore a black fitted sleevelss midriff top and a pair of black high-waist jeans, and white tennis shoes. Binuksan ko ang macbook ko para makapagonline, 'cause I need to message Zed. My cellphone is not working anymore so I might need to get one again. 

Tasha Jane:

Pick me up at 8, accompany me to the mall. 

Nakapangalumbaba ako sa sofa, habang naghihintay sa reply niya. I didn't apply any make up on my face, because I was too tired to do it. Agad kong tinanggal ang pagkakakrus ng binti ko nang marinig ko ang reply ni Zed.

Zed Morran:

Dito na ako.

That fast huh? Hindi na ako nagreply at kinuha na lang ang pink handbag ko at sh-in-ut down na ang laptop. I put my pink glasses on my face as I stormed out of the room. Habang naglalakad ay nakikipagpalitan ako ng ngiti sa mga bumabati sa akin, I'm not in the mood but I manage to smile at them. Actually, I look like a model or actress here, and the students are my fans. Kahit hindi naman ako ganoon, ayoko rin naman ng masyadong atensyon.

Tamad kong sinalubong si Zed na naghihintay sa akin, he opened the door of frontseat for me and I quicky hopped in. Umikot na siya papunta sa driver seat at nagsimula ng magmaneho palayo sa University.

"Bakit ang bilis mo?" tanong ko sa kanya. 

"Your Aunt ordered me to pick you up today, luckily I received your chat too when I'm almost near," he cooly answered. 

I mocked a smirk, "Good for you then." 

Nakatulog ako sa byahe dahil sa pagod, ramdam ko pa rin ang pagbagsak ko sa swimming pool ng mga Vendetta kagabi. Their Assassins are weak, I give them that, I feel sorry for Mark tho. Hindi ko intensyon na saktan siya, ang hirap kasi pag nawawala ka sa sarili mo. Even you don't want the worse to become the worst, it will still come once you lose your control.
