Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Forty Nine

"Bakit ba kasi kailangan ko pa tumira dito, Francine? May sarili naman tayong bahay."

"Ma, please." I sighed. "This is for my peace of mind, okay? Just listen to me." I said.

We are here in Harold's house. And, I requested na dito na muna tumira si Mama for a while. I just want to make sure na may kasama siya every time na may trabaho ako.

My life is seriously in danger right now. She already sent me a death threat message. It's crazy, yes. But, I need to face her. I need to be strong for my Mom, Harold, my friends, and Hester.

"Hay nako. Eh, hindi ba ako sagabal dito, Harold? Sabihin mo lang. Nababaliw na ata itong pinsan mo."

Harold smiled, "Of course you're not a sagabal, Tita. I'm happy that you're here. Just like the old times." inakbayan niya si Mama.

"This is just for a while, Ma." I said while looking at her.

"Harold." tumingin ako sa kanya, "I'm going now, I'll come back later." yumakap ako sa kanya. Gano'n din ang ginawa ko kay Mama.

"Mag-iingat ka, please." he looked at me.

I smiled, "I'll take care of myself, I promised." I answered.

Matapos kong mag-paalam sa kanila, lumabas na agad ako ng bahay at sumakay sa sasakyan ko.

"Kuya Omar, to Hester's penthouse, please." I said while getting my phone. I was supposed to check my messages but then someone sent me a message on Instagram.

What the heck?

Madison?

I immediately pressed her message and—

Damn. It's a photo. A photo of her with my boyfriend.

Hindi naman naka-tingin si Hester sa camera, and hindi din sila mag-katabi, but fuck, he's still with her. And, the fucking audacity of this bitch to send me this picture?!

Bakit mag-kasama sila?! Ngayon ba 'to? I think kanina pa niya na-send 'yung picture. Ngayon lang nag notified sa'kin since hindi ako naka-connect sa internet kanina.

"You better have a fucking explanation, my love." I whispered habang nag-lalakad palapit sa elevator. I'm already here, in the condominium.

God, I can't wait to see him. Kahit naman inis na inis ako sa kanya, damn, he's still my love. That's Zion Lapaz, my super handsome boyfriend.

"Love!" I immediately called him pag-pasok ko ng penthouse niya.

"Hester!" I shouted habang nag-lalakad palapit sa bedroom niya. I think he's here.

"Love! Where are yo—"

Oh. I'm right. He's here.

He's currently putting on his black satin polo, he's favorite night wear.

"Hey, handsome." I said while smiling. Hindi niya ako hinarap that's why niyakap ko siya mula sa likod. Naramdaman ko agad ang abs niya, damn. He's so fit.

"I missed you." I whispered while hugging him, "I missed you so much, love." I said.

He's still not looking at me that's why inis akong humarap ako sa kanya.

Alright, let's now talk about this. "What the heck is this?" I asked while showing the screen of my phone.

"Why are you with Madison?" I asked irritatedly.

When he looked at me, my heart immediately flutters. Damn, his effect on me. God, I am so in love with him.

"We had a meeting, with Teddy." he answered with his impassive face while buttoning his polo.
