Nadine's POV

I ran away, but he did not bothered chasing me. I ran away, but he did not bothered calling out my name to stop

I ran away, cause I need to

I ran away cause it hurts

I ran away cause I'm done

I ran aways cause it's enough

"Careful, baka madapa ka" A female voice spoke from behind, I halted in place from the familiarity of her tone

I know she's already approaching me because of her heels' sound so I turn around and found out it was

"Ericka" She smiled and halted her pace infront of me, what the fuck is wrong with her?

"Hey" She greeted, I gave her a puzzled look

"Hey?" I replied in a questioning way, she just chuckled and gestured me to follow her towards the chairs behind a Mango Tree

She sat on one of them and tap the seat beside her

"Tatayo ka lang ba diyan o uupo?" She ask sarcastically, I rolled my eyes cause the real Ericka frog is back. But then I still followed and sat beside her

"Ano na naman ang kailangan mo? If you're just going to piss me off like the days we've been together. Please sto-" Hindi niya ako pinatapos cause she surprise me with a hug, a comfort hug

"Why would I do that? If you're experiencing the shit I have experienced before?" I was caught off guard by her response

My eyes widen surprise, my mouth opening wide while my right hand is covering it 

"Ano?" I ask in disbilief, fuck what's wrong with surprises and my life?

She gave me a sad smile and took a deep breath

"I never cheated on James Nadine, believe me I didn't. I can never do that to him" She started

"He told me a-"

"Yeah he caught me sleeping with another guy?" She continued and made a bitter chuckle

"I was forced to do that, even if I declined and disobliged about that thing, I still did it" She answered sadly

"Because of what?" She look up to stare at my eyes and sigh

"Because of his mom. She keeps on threatening me to stay away from him but I didn't follow, because I love James simple" She diverted her gaze on the sky

"She warned me again before the day I broke his heart, kung hindi ko siya lalayuan she'll kill my family, my close friends or worst she'll kill the entire people I know and when she's done, she'll kill me next"

Listening to her, the woman I thought who was not capable of love. Who was a slut, a whore, a heart breaker. Was just as fragile as me

"Their are a lot of things you don't know about Mrs.Reid Nadine. But one thing's for sure. She is a monster" Her words echoed on my brain like a warning sign

She is a monster

"How can you say that?"

"She killed a thousand of people, she even killed her husband for pete's sake" Tumaas bigla yung mga balahibo ko sa katawan, namuti yung mga labi ko

"She had killed a lot, more than you can ever imagine Nadine" She stated with a sigh

"No one can stop her, not even your parents" I turn to face her, what the fuck

"What are you talking about?"

"James' mother and your parents were business partners. My parents too were a part of them but went out when they knew about how dangerous, detrimental, damaging, and pernicious she is"

"My parents warned yours, but they did not believe. Years past, James' mother was hungry for money and power each day, your mother sense it. She told all about her opinions about James' mother to your father"

"Why can't you just say her name?" I ask curiously

"Cause she's the one who killed my parents" She said emotionally, I misjudge Ericka so bad I haven't even given her a chance to witness her true side

"Back to the story, James' mother knew about it. She made a plan"

"What plan?" I ask as my eyebrow rose up

"The accident you were in 15 years ago"

"Anong koneksyon ng accidenteng yun sa ina ni James?" She laugh, a bitter one and look at me straight in the eye

"She's the reason kung bakit ka nag ka amnesia, kung bakit kayo naaksidente, kung bakit nag kahiwalay kayo ng kapatid mo at"

"Ano?"

"Kung bakit namatay yung mga magulang mo"

My heart beat stop for a while as I registered the news Ericka have said

'Kung bakit namatay yung mga magulang mo'

The break up, the amnesia, the twin sisters, the long lost brother and now the death of my parents?

Every day I thought to myself, why? I got everything money, clothes, houses, cars etc but then every blessing has it's consequence

A deep one

Ang tanong ko lang, why am I the one experiencing this pain? Because I got everything? Or because my life has been easy for the past years of my existance

Why am I always the one being killed alive?

Why am I the one carrying the words sorrow, sadness and pain

Ganyan naba ako ka malas para maging impyerno ang buhay ko?

And lastly, what have I done to deserve this?

I rose up and snatch my bag on the seat

"Where are you going?" She ask but I didn't reply, instead I pulled my car key out of my bag and ran towards the garage

I hop in and slam the door shut not caring on fastening my seat belt

My car speed was high and fast just as how my tear drops increase each second

As I watch my rear mirror I saw James' car. I smiled and thought

'He followed me'

But stop when I saw the lights of a 10 wheeler truck coming right into me

As I felt my car flew and my head bump on the window, the only words that came out of my mouth was

"I love you James" I whispered and slowly faded into the darkness

I love you James
