Alcavar Dynasty: THE BLACK SHEEP [COMPLETE]

Forty-Three: Betrayals

The night is shining bright. The yellow lights are dangling in the wind that is hanging over her head, while slowly walking towards me. Lorraine Alcavar has finally landed the woman her heart only beats for.

I looked around, we're surrounded by people that we do love and love us. My family, nanay Liza and Tatay Karding, Celine, and the people from Palawan. I wiped the tear that's about to ruin my makeup. I smiled, as we lock eyes with each other. Her simple white gown is making her skin and beauty lit up the darkness of the night. The cold wind brings goosebumps in my body together with so much happiness and kilig.

I chuckled as I remember asking her to walk together, but she refused. "I want to see you waiting for me 'dun sa altar, babe."
I didn't argue with her, I just agreed because for me, knowing that this woman is with me, everything will be perfect.

Except that it's not for long.

"NAY!"

A very loud gunshot spooked everyone. I saw how Nanay Liza fell on the ground, with blood showering her face. She's already dead. I can see right through the bullet hole in her head. The people are on the ground, including Rosa. I heard Leslie's voice as she calls for police and ambulance. I was just left in there, standing. As another deafening gunshot was heard, I felt the burning sensation and warm liquid flowing through my left chest, I heard Rosa scream for my name. "NO! NO! LORRAINE! NO! PLEASE GOD NO!!"

Leslie and Arthur are holding her, hindering her to rush to me. She can't. She shouldn't. It is dangerous. I smiled as I looked at her. "I love you, Santillan." I mouthed all those words before I lost consciousness and die. The old Raine, died.

"Sa wakas ay pinangalanan na ng businessman at CEO ng AGC na si Victor Alcavar ang mga taong involved umano, sa scheme na ginawa nila para mapatalsik ang isa sa mga kambal ng Alcavar na si Lorraine Alcavar. Matatandaang kinasuhan ng kumpanya si Lorraine Alcavar ng swindling apat na taon na ang nakalilipas. Bukod dito, ay napag alamang illegal ring ikinulong si Lorraine Alcavar sa loob ng tatlong taon, kinumpiska ang ari-arian at accounts sa banko pero hindi na umusad ang kaso. Makalipas ang tatlong taon ay pinyansahan siya ng nagkakahalagang three hund----" Binato ko sa galit ang tv ng basong hawak ko. I can't take it anymore. I am all over the news. Everything is all over the news damn it."FUCK MEDIA!" I screamed in the living room.

Napakaraming media ang nagkalat sa labas ng bahay namin kaya naman nandito kami ngayon ni Rosa sa isang condo unit na nirerentahan namin, just to keep it low. Sigurado akong hahalungkatin ng media ang mga bahay na pag aari ng pamilya namin at babantayan ito. It's been two weeks mula nang makalabas ako ng ospital.

"Aww!"

Humiga ako sa couch at inirelax ang kaliwang chest ko dahil sobrang sakit nito.

"Babe? Bakit uminom ka na naman? Bawal ka pa nga mag alak eh dahil nag gagamot ka pa!"

Sermon sa akin ni Rosa pag pasok nya. She's wearing cap and mask para hindi sya makilala ninuman. She took a leave from work dahil nga kasal namin, but no one planned it to turn this way.

"I'm okay. I can take the meds. Hindi naman ako lasing. Pang patulog lang naman."

Inilapag nya ang bitbit nyang groceries at inayos ito sa cupboard, while I'm watching on my phone dahil namatay ang TV dahil nga binato ko ng babasaging baso.

"Bangon ka na dyan lilinisan ko sugat mo then bibihisan kita."

Umupo sya sa katabing couch.

"Maya na I can manage myself. Di naman ako inutil."

Tumango-tango sya at umalis. I just shook my head. She's being way too much. Gusto nya 24/7 nya akong na che-check. It's suffocating.

"Yeah. Yes, I know but, yes. Come on, guys. She was in a coma for days. I'm just giving her a chance. Nanay is dead. Maybe it's her way to grieve. Isa pa, it's really depressing she got shot. Sabi ng doctor her mind is still in trauma so she might act differently than she usually does."
