The Heiress' Downfall (COMPLETED)

Chapter 11

"Mommy," marahan kong tawag. She's busy typing on her laptop. Nakatutok lang ang buong atensyon nito doon at hindi ako binibigyan ng pansin.

"Hmm?" She hummed without taking her eyes off her laptop.

I bit my lower lip and fidgetted my fingers. "I just want to ask if you'll allow me to go na mag vacation. Queen and our friends planned somethi-"

"You can go," she cut me off.

My eyes widened. "Really, Mommy?"

She nodded and bored her eyes on me. "Yves already told me about it." I blinked, multiple times.

Why would he call my mother and how did he got her contact number?

Well, that's the least of my problems. Ang mahalaga ay pinayagan niya na ako at hindi na ako nahirapan sa pagpapapayag sakanya.

"After your vacation, I'll send Fabio to fetch you," hindi ko na inabala ang sinabi niya. Atleast pinayagan niya akong umalis.

"I'll go na, Mommy." I was about to leave but then she spoke again.

"Yves Troy..." nilingon ko siya. She's now casually leaning on her swivel chair while playing with her pen. "You don't remember him?" My eyebrows furrowed before shaking my head silently.

Then I remember Yto's words when we were in their place.

'Let your heart remember me, Viana'

Matagal ko na ba siyang kilala? Kung oo, edi sana natatandaan ko pa pero I can't remember someone named Yves Troy. His face isn't familiar either.

She silently dismissed me when I gave her my response.

I walked back to my room still thinking about him.

Why do you keep on pestering my mind, Yto?

-

"Dito mo ilagay!"

"Just wait, Queen. You're too loud."

"Ang tanga naman kasi!" Napangiwi ako dahil kulang nalang ay ang magsuntukan si Archer at Queen sa likod. Kanina pa sila nagtatalo dahil sa maleta ni Queen na ipinapaayos niya.

Napailing ako at lumabas mula sa van na sasakyan namin patungong airport.

I bit my lower lip when I felt the wind passed me by. Hinangin ang buhok ko ngunit hinayaan ko nalang iyon at isinuot ang shades na nasa kamay ko. Nasa mansion kami nila Queen at kasalukuyang naghahanda para umalis.

The three idiots are already here pero wala pa siya. Hindi ba't ang sinabi nila Lucian ay sasama siya? Ayoko naman magtanong sa mga pinsan nito dahil malamang ay tukso lang ang makukuha ko.

Why am I thinking of him anyways?

Ipinilig ko ang ulo at bumalik sa loob ng van. This time, kumpleto na kami sa loob at handa naroon na din ang driver. Isinalampak ko nalang ang earphones sa tenga at humilig sa bintana. Masyadong maingay sila Queen at wala ako sa wisyo para makisabay sakanila. I'm wondering why he's not yet here.

O baka hindi talaga siya sasama?

Pinilig ko ang ulo at pumikit na lamang. I let the music in my ears take over my thoughts until the darkness drowned me.

Nagising na lamang ako nang maramdaman na may marahang mga kamay ang tumatapik sa pisngi ko.

"Wake up, princess." Natanggal na ang earphones ko kaya naririnig ko ang baritonong boses na iyon. I opened my eyes to see the man I'd been looking for. He still looks formal with his hoodie and sweatpants.
