Sandejas Legacy #5: Solace Escape "Sandejas Legacy continues..." Sibyl Timothea Sandejas is a well-known ballerina, the center of attention, the star. Everyone wanted a glimpse of her life, not just because she's a great dancer but mostly because she's the daughter of the famous actress, Alyx Sandejas. She's in the spotlight. Fake smiles, false rumors, and the blinding flashes of cameras tired her. She's in the prime of her life, but one mistake and her world turned upside down. It cost her not only her career but also disappointment from her parents that they made her stay in Sta. Monica to learn her lessons. That's when she met again the hardworking and happy-go-lucky man, Solomon Alejo. A complete opposite of her. She expected to have the worst year ever, not knowing she'd find what she didn't even know she sought before. An escape from the eyes of the public. Solace. In his arms. Limelights are chaotic and blinding, no matter how pretty they are to look at. Every show ends, and as the curtain closes, will Sibyl fight for her stage back or will she embrace her peace?

Ready to say goodbye?

"You can't escape me Samantha. Not now. Not tomorrow. Never." wika ni Tres sa nanggagalaiting tinig. I take a step backward to avoid his skin to touch mine. May kakaibang damdamin ang pumupukaw sa akin kapag nagdidikit ang mga balat namin. And its not normal. "Y-You can't lock me up in this Island Tres! Hindi mo ako pagmamay-ari! No one owns me!" kahit natatakot ay pilit kong pinatatag ang boses ko. "No sweetheart. I. Own. You. Your father sold you to me. Pag aari kita. So better be a good girl like before kung ayaw mong magalit ako. You know how mad dogs are." Mariing wika nito pagkatapos hapitin ang bewang ko na naging dahilan ng malakas kong pagsinghap. I am trapped with the Lions cage.

"I dont do love, Maddy. I do fucking." Nagulat ako sa sobrang bulgar ng mga salita niya ngunit hindi ako nagpahalata. "Then atleast make love to me." determinadong wika ko. If I cant get his heart, well atleast I can feel how to make love to him Im too desperate. I want him. I want his love. Bigla siyang tumawa ng mapanuya kaya natigilan ako. "You dont get it, dont you?" aniya. Hindi ako sumagot kaya muli siyang nagsalita. "I dont do love, if we're going to have sex, it was purely fucking. And fucking is different with love making." sarkastikong wika niya habang seryoso ang anyo. Nasaktan ako. Parang pinilipit ang puso ko. It hurts! Ngunit kita naman ngayon sa mukha niya na wala siyang pakialam sa nararamdaman ko. "And for the record, I cant love someone who killed my girlfriend." patuloy niya na mula sa seryosong anyo ay naging mabalasik iyon. Napalunok. I am guilty. Not because I killed her but because I am the reason why she died. "B-But you're p-protecting me." "I am doing my job." Damn! I wanna shout at him, curse him and slap him. Ang sakit. Ang sakit ng harap-harapan niyang sabihin sa akin lahat ng iyon. Ang sakit na harap-harapan niyang ipamukha na trabaho lang ang ginagawa niya. Para bang wala akong pakiramdam kung magsalita siya ng ganon. And this fucking heart is aching.

"H-Hanggang k-kailan m-mo ba ako ikukulong dito A-Alas?" tanong ko na niyakap ang dalawang tuhod habang hilam sa luha ang mukha. Itinaas niya ng Zipper ng pantalon niya at lumapit sa akin. So close that I can smell his breath. Hinawakan niya ang baba ko at tumingin ng diretso sa mga mata ko. Anger, hatred and lust was visible in his eyes. "Until I die." aniya na mabilis hinalikan ang labi ko. I closed my eyes and cried. Sa sakit at awa sa sarili. "If you want to leave this hell, kill me." mas lalo akong napaiyak.

"It scares me to be away from you, moya koreleva. I love you so f*cking much. No one will even hurt you when I am still alive. You are my star in the darkness of the night. You are my light in the dark abyss of my life." -Hellion Cold. Ruthless. Devil. Everyone fears and respects Hellion Herrich Zy Zchneider. He is a mafia boss who is incapable of loving anyone until he meets a woman who makes his heart skip a beat. Can Alyona, a deaf-mute, shy,and lonely woman truly tame the cold-hearted mafia boss?

Started: 11/20/2020 Ended: 01/29/2021 How far would you go for someone? How many hailstorms and dark clouds would you endure? How many falling stars would you wait for to make a single wish come true? For Reese Deborah Madrid, the sky was the limit. She was used to having whatever she wanted. Clothes? Shoes? Jewelry? Name it. She could get it without putting in so much effort. So, when she hoped for another shot of love with her ex-boyfriend, she was ready to sacrifice everything to win him back. Even if that meant she had to look stupid and desperate. Even that meant she had to suffer through the pain of watching him be disgusted by her. Even if that meant she had to deal with his harsh words and apathy. She did everything in her power to go back into his arms. She stood up to the rain that soaked her and the sun that burned her skin. She waited from daybreak to nightfall, hoping that he would eventually fall back in love with her. She thought she was getting there. She felt like she'd made it. But then, in the world where she could be anything, she lost everything in the name of her love for him. Because much like the sky, Harvin Rouge Foster was only meant to be loved from afar.
