"Simula ngayon ay si Mr. Vermont na ang magiging bagong bodyguard mo", saad nito na ikinatigil ko.
Is this a big joke?
"You're not serious, right?", paniguro ko.
"I'm sorry, apo but I am", sagot na ikinaawang ng labi ko.
Napabaling ang tingin ko sa binata na ngayon ay titig na titig sa akin. I can sense something in his dark brown eyes.
"But grandpa!", protesta ko.
"My decision is final. Si Corby na ang pinaka magbabantay sa'yo so you better behave", my lolo warningly said.
Naisandal ko ang likuran sa sofa at matalim na tiningnan si Corby.
Anong plano nito at pumayag sa kagustuhan ng lolo ko?
Pinaramdam ko sa mga titig ko sa binata na ayokong maging bodyguard ito.
"Can I talk to her first, Mr. Lucio?"
"Yes, sure"
Anong meron kay Corby at napaka laki ng tiwala ni lolo rito?
"Ayokong maging bodyguard ka!", I said. "Humindi ka kay lolo. Hwag kang pumayag", dagdag ko.
Ngumisi ito na ikinainis ko lalo. "Paano kung...ayoko?", hamon nito.
This man. He's getting into my nerves.
"If your grandpa is having a hard time to discipline you then I'll be the one to do it for him. Try me... ", ang boses nito ay mahina lang pero mapanganib ang dating.
"And I bet malaking halaga ang binayad sa'yo ni lolo para gawin ito."
"You got it wrong, honey. I'm doing this for...free, mapatino lang kita."
"Pamilya ko nga hindi ako masaway. Ikaw pa kaya? You're not even belong to our family."
"But let me remind you, Ms. Wilona Corliss Alvero. I'm your contact person. Hindi mo nga ako kapamilya pero ginawa mo naman akong guardian mo. Baka gusto mo na ring gamitin ang apelyido ko?"
Natigilan ako sa narinig.
He actually caught me there...

Adrianna Monteverde did what every stubborn daughter forced to marry a stranger would have done--she ran away. But as she spun lies upon lies about her identity in order to protect her freedom, she did not know that finding love while under a false identity would come at a great cost: Happiness.
*******
Despite the love she has for her parents, Adrianna finally had enough the moment she learned of the marriage they arranged with a complete stranger, even if it's for their family's business. She decided to run away, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that hiding inside the trunk of an unknown car would lead to her becoming a maid, and worse, falling in love with its owner. But her fears got the best of her and she was forced to lie about everything--her name, her profession, even her family--and as they say, no lie can live forever. Would Adrianna be willing to remove her mask of lies and secrets even if revealing her real identity might lead to her downfall?
