Ezra's POV
We lost. We lost so much.
It was heartbreaking.
It was embarrassing.
Parang nawasak nalang ako nang tuluyan. Natapon lahat ng pinagdaanan ko. Natapon lahat ng tiniis ko. Natapon lahat ng pinaghirapan ko.
Pero.. hinayaan ko nalang. At least hiwalay na kami ng landas.
It is not a healthy mindset, I'm aware of that. But when you feel like you've come to your lowest point, a hint of positivity would be enough for you to grab onto. Sometimes it's desperation, sometimes it's nice.
"What are you doing here?" Nangingiting tanong sakin ni Bri nang kitain ko siya.
I grinned at her, "can't I accompany you to your first day of classes as a 4th year?"
She chuckled, "mag focus ka sa pahinga mo!"
I shrugged, "I've been resting for six months now, I wanna do something new!" She just shot a brow at me, "wala na yung mga pasa, oh!"
Umiling nalang siya.
Yes, after the court with that scumbag Danilo, I got to rest by myself at my house because annulled naman na kami ni Danilo.
I wanna live at Bri's place pero pinilit akong pauwiin ni Daddy. Back then, I'm so down that I didn't care anymore where I'd be; also, hindi ako sigurado pero dulot narin ata ng guilt ni Daddy dahil hindi niya ako nabantayang mabuti noon.
I was home quarantined for a few weeks, just so I can physically rest properly. Medyo nagpaalala yun sakin na ganun din yung ginagawa ko noong kasal pa kami ni Danilo but I focused on the bright side: wala na si Danilo.
Yes, tinalo niya ako sa maruming paraan, pero wala na akong pakialam.
A few weeks of only staying in the house and my dad permitted me to go to work, and I do not mean work from home anymore.
Medyo nabigla ako, oo, pero nasanay ko naman yung sarili ko, kasi magaling ako.
The employees were surprised to see me in person, I just apologized for my very late and sudden arrival but I maintained my strong facade to them. I needed to do that. I'm their boss.
Ever since then, I started handling the company by my own, physically, and I loved it.
Medyo hindi madali, aaminin ko yun, pero nakakaya ko naman. At least hindi ko naibabagsak. Our only strong competitors are the ROMÉ and FORTUNE.
That ticked me up. The Roméos are our biggest rival but for me, I wanted to destroy the Fortunatos so bad.
If I wasn't holding it against Alegre, I would've really done it, no matter what the cost.
But it's not like that for my father. Ever since he knew about what cruel things my ex-husband has done to me, he's desperate in crushing them completely and violently, sometimes even desperately, pero pinipigilan ko lang kasi irrational ang mga pinaplano niya.
"You're gonna be late for work," Bri stated as we both walk to Sonera Heights, I couldn't help but to reminisce.
"I'm the COO, Bri, I think I can go to work any time I want."
She just rolled her eyes at me.
We went quiet for a few moments, feeling the breeze of air around us, the noise of several students from afar and their vehicles, the noise of my everyday life in the past, gone in an instant because of one mistake I did.
