First Kiss - LEGACY 5 (AWESOMELY COMPLETED)

Swing

Everyone is wearing white and I opted for a black A-line dress. I don't want to be the same, I want to be different. Ayokong may kapareho kaya sinigurado kong kakaiba ang suot ko habang binabasa ng abogado ni Lolo ang kanyang Last Will sa amin.

I am sitting between Kuya Seth and Seven the stupid. Kuya Shawn was standing behind the sofa while holding my arms. My father was sitting infront of the table with Auntie Shana.

"...50% of my assets will be entrusted to my granddaughter, Serise Victoria O. Montreal, alongside the chairmanship of Montreal Corporation..." basa nito. Tumaas lamang ang kilay ko at nilingon ang lahat. I was searching if somebody will have any reaction, a violent reaction, about Lolo's will.

"Fifty percent? Kay Serise lahat?" out of all people, it was my father who said that. I can feel my shoulders tensed and Shawn squeeze it tightly.

"Yes. Thirty percent will be divided between you, Mr. Montreal, and your sister, Mrs. Shana Yturralde. The remaining twenty percent will be shared between the remaining grandchildren of Mr. Sandro Montreal." Paliwanag noong abogado. Isinara niya iyong attaché case niya at isa isa kaming nilingon.

"I'll give you some time to talk between the family members. I'll be outside once you're done. And Miss Serise?" tawag nito. Nilingon ko ang matandang lalaki na nakatitig rin sa akin.

"I'll appreciate a private talk between us later." Anas nito bago tuluyang lumabas. Hindi na nito hinintay pa ang aking sagot at umalis na.

The room was silent before I cleared my throat. My father looked at me before sighing so hard.

"This is not good. You should not receive that fifty percent Sese." Matigas niyang sabi. I gritted my teeth and stared at my father.

"Why?" malamig ang tono ng boses na sabi ko. Umiling lamang si Papa at nag aalalang tiningnan ako.

"Why? Do you think I can't manage Montreal Corps? God forbid, your weakest child will inherit that goddamn company, iyon ba?!" sigaw ko. Napatayo na ako, iyong hawak ni Shawn sa akin ay humigpit. Seth took my hand but I snatched it back.

"My brothers all have an empire in Italy Pa, kaya sigurado akong hindi sila ang papamanahan ni Lolo. I know you know that too. Kung hindi mo inaasahan na sila Kuya ang magmamana, pwes sino pa? Si Illea?" I bitterly said. Papa shook his head before raising his hands.

"Sese, it's not like that! People will be after your life now that you're Tatay's heir---" he said. I bit back the insides of my lips before shaking my head. Bullshit. Worried? About me? If he was really worried he should have asked me if I am really fine years ago! Kung talagang may malasakit siya dapat alam niyang nahihirapan ako! But no!
