Escape

Hindi ko na ininda pa ang kakulangan sa hangin pag pasok sa kotse. I immediately got the bag at the back and find some clean clothes. Nang tanggalin ang naunang damit ay noon ko lang napansin may sira din iyon marahil sa daan palabas ng mansyon.

I sighed loudly as I tapped my phone to call someone. "Aisa!" she immediately said.

Inilagay ko iyon sa speaker at ipinatong sa upuan sa shotgun seat.

"I made it to the car Maeve," I said slowly, still catching my breath.

"Oh thank God! I was so nervous!" I can imagine her walking back and forth in her room. "Did you, by any chance, encounter your guards?" maingat niyang tanong.

I shook my head as if she can see me. "No. Our plan works. I wait for their rotation and breaks before I came out." I heard her sighed. "Anyway, I gotta go. I can't be too long in here,"

"Yes! Oh right! Go, just go. Call me when you can alright?"

"Thank you, Maeve, really..."

"Don't thank me yet," she spat annoyed. "Get out of that country first and call me again!"

Natawa nalang ako kahit walang nakakatawa sa esatado ko ngayon. I hurriedly started the car drove.

Tonight, I did what I've been planning for months. I ran from home. Not because I'm spoiled or brat, and it isn't the usual running from the home act. I ran from home because, well, that place is not really a home.

I've been living with my father and stepmother all my life. My dad is a typical businessman and my stepmother... is not as cliché as what stepmothers portray. She's civil with me and I can say that they're good, cause, they let me live.

My mom was, unfortunately, fell in love with my dad way back. Kahit mali, at hindi ko naman tinatanggi iyon, nagkaroon sila ng relasyon ni daddy at doon ako nabuo. My biological mom died after she gave birth.

Since then, I live with my Dad Oliverio and Celestina, his wife. I was aware even as a child that I'm not Celestina's daughter. Naging bokal siya doon at hindi naman ako nagalit dahil mas mainam nang alam ko ang totoo kaysa nangtatanong ako kung bakit iba ang trato niya sa akin.

They both have a son that is years older than me. Giovanni Macimilian, my kuya, is everything that I can ask for, in a family. He's the only person that keeps me from leaving that family sooner than this.

I parked the car at the airport in Berlin and got my important things. IDs, passports, and everything that can use to find me were fabricated. I used different papers that Maeve helped me with.

While I sat on the airplane, I can't help but think where would this lead me. But then when I remember who that family is, I think I did a good choice.

Penrose, my sister, not by blood or anything, is in a very difficult position right now. Penrose and I were the same age. I got to know her when mom and dad bring her home. Saying they adopted her.

Hindi naging madali ang pakisamahan siya dahil natural na ata siyang masungit o talagang hindi palakaibigan. Hanggang ngayon, we weren't too close for a sister. But I know deep inside, we care for each other. And I love her.

Macimilian, is known to be the number one pharmaceutical company. I should be proud and I am, but things aren't always perfect. The company has been going on since my father's grandfather. It started here in Germany and now, they are known all over the world.

But the case is, my dad, is being eaten by his greed. May hinala na ako matagal na pero hindi napapatunayan dahil mas mahalaga sa akin ang pagaaral. Nang natapos ay saka ko pinagtuunan ng pansin ang nangyayari sa negosyo.
