Sebastian

.

Punishing Rose infuriated Dahlia. She refused to admit anything, even though I had evidence in hand. It's clear that it was her. Eva saw her face, yet Dahlia still pleaded innocent. I've had enough of her and chose to ignore her now.

Masaya ako dahil walang sinabing masama sina Mama at Papa. Kahit na marami silang tanong tungkol sa pagkatao ni Eva, ay mukhang okay naman sila sa kanya.

Only Mama seemed a bit indifferent towards Eva during family day. And starting next week, I will take Eva with me to all family gatherings. I want her to be part of this tradition. In time, I knew my mother would like her. 

"Mukhang seryoso ka na kay Eva ah? Are you even considering getting married to her?" Martha looked at me seriously.

My jaw tightened, and I slowly nodded.

"Oh, I see... I'm okay with that! She's a beautiful, wonderful person, Seb. Anything that makes you happy, I'm happy for you," she sweetly smiled.

Si Martha lang ang may alam sa nangyari noon. She knew what happened to Eva, me and Vansel.

"I want her as my sister-in-law and nothing more," she said before hugging me tightly.

Martes ngayon at wala ako sa kapitolyo. I'm currently at my business signing all the necessary documents for the project. Rose is no longer my secretary. I moved her to the distribution unit. I'm not heartless enough to just dismiss her from the company. After all, she has contributed significantly and has been doing great work.

After a thorough investigation, the detective discovered that the culprit behind Congressman Santiago's death was his wife. It was twisted, and we couldn't prevent the news from spreading. It escalated quickly because of the witnesses. I also pledge to share my side of the story along with everyone involved in the case.

It was a hectic month, but it ended smoothly. Halos araw araw ang mukha ko sa Tv at nagsasawa na akong panoorin ang sarili ko. I hate the attention I was getting, considering that the president of this country want my presence on an up coming event. Sa Malacañang ito gaganapin, at isa ako sa mga importanteng panauhin. 

A lot of invitations from different TV stations are coming to me, but I reject them all.

I'm not interested in pursuing a higher political role right now. I have a lot on my plate and prefer not to take on more. My focus is on the city where I belong, and I also want to start a family.

"Gov, ang hirap po niyang kausapin. Pinigilan na namin siya, Gov. Pero nagbabanta siya sa labas."

I gritted my teeth. It's Dahlia again. 

Damn it. Kailan ba niya ako titigilan?

I discovered her intentions. She took my bank statement from five years ago. She aims to assert that she deserves more money from me, but various legal advisers in Cebu have turned her down. May pumanig sa kanya, galing Maynila ang mga ito, pero ibinasura rin korte. At ngayon? Huh, ano pa ba ang gusto niya? Pasalamat nga siya dahil hindi nagpa blotter si Eva.

"Sebastian!! You have to talk to me!"

Uminit ang tainga ko. Pinipigilan siya ng mga security guard sa baba, at talagang nakaakyat pa sa opisina.

"Kung hindi mo ako kakausapin, ay ipagkakalat ko kung anong klaseng tao ang babaeng pinakmamahal mo!"

I turned to her sharply and got up from my seat. Nasa bungad na siya ng pinto ng opisina ko, at hawak ng mga security personnel ang kamay niya.

She looks crazy, like she's into something.

"Let her go," I gritted my teeth, looking sharply at her.

"Huh, hear him? Let me go!" She's furious and smirked in the end. 

Pumasok siya sa opisina ko at inayos ang sarili bago na upo.

I feel disgusted by her. I don't even want to look at her. She's banned from everywhere around here, yet she still managed to come. I suspect her sister Rose is involved in this again.

"What do you want?" My brow raised.

"I want two hundred million pesos in cash, Sebastian!" Matigas niya akong tinitigan.

I scoffed and wanted to laugh at this.

Is she fucking kidding me?

"Are you insane, Dahlia? Hindi pa ba sapat sa 'yo ang nakuha mong pera sa akin noon? Are you on to something? Wala ka na bang pera at desperada ka na?"

"Oo, wala na! And for your information this is worth every penny! Hindi ikaw ang masisira. Sisirain ko ang babaeng pinakamamahal mo!"

I dipped my head slightly and shook before looking back at her.

What is it that she's planning this time? 

What a pain. I can't believe how foolish I was to marry her. I don't know how I fell in love with her. Did I even love her? Or did she play with me just to get what she wanted?

Damn it! It was money anyway... she never loved me at all. It was only my money she loved those years.

"I'm not giving you even a single cent, Dahlia. So, fucking get out before I call security and put you in jail!" Tumaas ang boses ko. "I will not tolerate you hurting my fiancée again, Dahlia!"

"Oh, fiancee mo na pala? Great!" She laughed loudly.

"Then this will make it worth every penny."

May kinuha siya mula sa bag niya at inilapag ito sa mesa ko.

"Look! Look! I will take this to the press! Huh, alam na alam ko kung ano ang sekreto ni Eva. My goodness me! She's not even worthy at all. Isa siyang pokpok, Sebastian! She used to work at the—"

"Shut the fucking hell!" I slammed my hand on my desk to cut her off. 

My flesh was shaking, and I swore to God that if I got a hold of her, I might kill her this instant.

Nakatingin ang mga mata ko sa litrato. Hindi klaro ito dahil malayo ang kuha. Kinuha ko agad ito at tinitigang mabuti.

I felt my heart racing so fucking fast as my eyes glued to it.

Litrato ito limang taon na ang nakaraan galing sa Rampage. This is the time when Eva was working there as a Calendar Rampage. This is during the time when she was on stage.

Effing, damn it.
