CHAPTER 1: Reborn

Start from the beginning
                                    

"My dear younger brother..." Bulong ko pagkatapos

Binitawan ko ang litrato naming dalawa dahil nasusuka ako sa itsura nyang nakangiti ng inosente,

"crash!"

Tumalikod na ako at napatingin kay Halena ng umirit sya bigla

"Ahhh! Young Mistress wag kang gagalaw! Baka masugatan ang magaganda mong mga paa!" Irit nya bago lumalabas para kumuha ng walis at dustpan.

"Be careful, Halena. Don't rush!" Sigaw ko sa kanya dahil sa pagmamadali nya.

She's Halena Suarez, she's my maid. She was loyal and faithful to me in our previous life...

But...

Because of her loyalty to me...

She died...

She died in the hands of Eivan,

He forces her to suicide in front of me, 

Because of my selfish and cowardly act, I let her die in my own eyes.

A tear escaped from my eyes when I suddenly remembered what happened that time.

"Don't worry, Halena... I'll protect you" I whispered seriously.

I swear... That I won't let the past repeat itself...

***

"Young Mistress, Pinatatawag na po kayo ni Young Master Eivan, kakain na daw po" Pakinig kong sabi ni Halena habang nakahiga ako sa kama.

Kumunot ang noo ko, nang maramdaman kong sinarado na nya ang pinto ng kwarto ko, bumangon ako at binuksan ang drawer ng mini table tsaka kinuha ang cellphone ko.

Eivan is going to poison my drink while we're having a business dinner--or more like a family dinner. with Hadrian's family.

Back in my previous life, I was deeply in love with Hadrian when I was this age, so I made my father reconcile with the LeCoultre Family to marry Hadrian.

His mother and father agreed to the arranged marriage except for Hadrian of course, he hates me to the guts,

but he got no choice but to get engage with me.

Now that I came back, it seems like my deep affection for him disappeared like thin air, well who won't?

I suffered in my ten years in Eivan's torture while blaming myself for his death then suddenly I would know na Buhay pala sya at nagpakasal na pala siya sa ibang babae.

I feel like I was abandoned.

Well, he never cares about me in the first place anyway.

Iniling ko na lang ang ulo ko sa iniisip ko.

"Eivan tortured me because I'm always attempting to hurt Hartleigh because of Hadrian... "

"Then Eivan's anger towards me worsens when I become the heir of Mafia World..."

"Then I think he also blames me because of my actions before." I think while looking at my nails.

I'm always bullying Hartleigh before, maybe Eivan thought Hartleigh didn't pick him because Hartleigh got scared of me.

"It's better to cancel my engagement with him to avoid trouble in the future and focus on my brother," I said while standing.

It's a shame that I came back 12 years from now not 13 years, if I came back 13 years from now, maybe hindi ko na kailangang mamomroblema kay Hadrian.

Tsk.

Nagsimula na kong lumabas ng kwarto Kahit na white night dress na may sleeves sa kamay lang ang suot ko.

Pagka dating ko sa dining room, Naguusap sila Dad at Tito Hades (Dad ni Hadrian) ng tungkol sa business habang nakain lang ng tahimik si Tita Andrea (Mom ni Hadrian)

Napadako ang tingin ko Kila Hadrian at Eivan, nagbabatuhan sila ng masasamang tiningnan sa isa't isa. Napakuyom ang kamao ko dahil nagflash sa isip ko lahat ng pagpapahirap at pangloloko nila saking dalawa.

"Young Mistress, Good Afternoon" a maid greets me then nagsimula na syang umalis pagkatapos magbow,

Nabaling ang atensyon nilang lahat sakin ng magsalita yung maid na dumaan. Unang nahagip ng mata ko si Hadrian na para bang gusto idual lahat ng pagkain na nakain nya dahil sa presensya ko, tsk.

Napadako ang atensyon ko kay Eivan, nakangiti sya sakin pero ramdam kong walang bahid ng emosyon ang mga ngiti nya.

Kaya nginitian ko din sya,

Ng walang emosyon at seryoso.

"Ivy, Why are you wearing a night dress?" takang tanong ni Dad ng seryoso, umalis ako sa pagkaka sandal sa pinto at nilapitan sya, tsaka hinalikan sa pisnge.

"Didn't the maids inform you that the guests will come today?" Dagdag pa nya. Ramdam ko ang maiinit na mata nila sakin.

Sa dati kong buhay--noong inlove pa ako kay Hadrian. I always love wearing showy dresses when his around to attract him but now is different... Hadrian Vincenzo LeCoultre, I will include you on my blacklist.
