Ex of the Billionaire (MAJOR REVISION)

Chapter Thirty-eight

"Tsk! Spill it Devs, I always hear that everyday from my husband and to all of you, nauumay na ako, charot" Pabulong na sinaad ng Ianalie ang panghuli bago sila nag high five ni Devorah na ang kabilang kamay ay nasa bibig.

Maliyah smiled seeing her daughter laughing again, its not forced happiness she's seeing, its a genuine one.

They always talk like this, marami mang tao o wala siraulo sila, Maliyah sighed at the sight but also relieved because Devorah came broke the quarrel and the heavy cloud between her and her daughter.

"Dzuh! I'm just glad you came Ianalie, buti at hindi ka nagkulong sa kwarto kasama ang asawa mo" Devorah wiggled her brows while smirking at Ianalie who turned tomato after she said that, natawa lang si Maliyah at Devorah.

"By the way Tita" Tumingin si Maliyah sa pamangkin, "Lady Thea is ready... Should we start the event?"

Maliyah smiled, Ito ang pinakahihintay nila, Hindi lang siya kundi ang buong angkan ng Thorstein. They all witness the princess' sorrow and pains, seeing her ready to introduce herself to everyone who underestimated women's ability and strength to rule that, the person who now reigns the crown not just in the royal family but also in business is her... a woman. — she has the crown everyone wanted to have.

"Let's start,"

I took a deep breath while Azea is retouching my make up, tumaas ang kilay niya habang nakatingin sa labi ko na nilalagyan niya ng matte na mula pa sa brand na siya mismo ang may-ari.

"27" saad niya kaya tumingin ako sakaniya nagtatanong ano ibig niyang sabihin. She chuckled and stop what she's doing to look at me in the eye.

"Bilang yun kung pang Ilang buntong hininga na ang nagawa mo. Kung sana nilagay mo yan sa Plastic tapos e benta natin yayamanin ka na, marami pa namang may gusto sayo." Seryosong saad niya pero alam ko deep inside gusto niya na tumawa, I just rolled my eyes at her.

"I'm already rich," I said, stating the fact. "And correction, — marami pa namang may gustong pumatay sa akin."

She grinned, "Sus, hindi naman lahat, may iba diyan na gusto ka lalo na si ano-"

"Shut it," Pambara ko sa kanya, ang galing talaga mang-inis ng babaeng 'to.

"Kidding, pero seriously, Trix stop hiding yourself. The Queen just changed your name not your whole personality ang life." bumuntong hininga ito at tumayo sa harap ko, I bit my lip when she mentioned that name again and looked away.

"Akala mo siguro hindi ko malalaman na hindi mo pinapunta si Tito Andrew at Nana Roxanne nang malaman mong dadalo ang mga Monroe" I clinched my fist, trying to hide the irritation I'm feeling, not for Azea but for myself.

She's right, kahit gusto ni Dad dumalo ay pinilit ko siyang huwag pumunta sa Event, also Grandma who's excited to meet my kids again after 2 years. Ayaw kong magkita sila ng ga Monroe, ayaw ko na malaman nila kung sino ako, I want to scare them that's all.

Gusto kong makita nila kung paano umangat ang baabeng pinagpaguran nilang ilibing sa sarili nitong isip, ang babaeng sinira nila hanggang sa mawalan ng gana mabuhay. Gusto kung durugin sila, kaso hindi ko kaya.

I fought so hard not to cry in front of Azea, pero parang hindi na rin kailangan. Masikip ang dibdib ko pero wala namang luha ang lumalabas sa mata ko.

Pagkatapos ba naman ng sakit na dinanasad ko, impossibleng hindi ako nasanay.

Azea pulled me up for a hug, when she let go she smiled. Try to forgive them but never forget. Mahirap alam ko, pero alam kung kaya mo yun. Mabigat sa dibdib pagmay galit ka na nararamdaman, start it today. Look at them and le that anger come out, gagaan ang loob mo."
