"That arrogant bastard! Who does he think he is?" my father's angry voice hovered over the empty function room.
Kakatapos lang ng soirée at nag aalburuto na kaagad ang aming ama dahil sa sobrang galit.
"Composed yourself, father," my eldest brother said trying to calm our enraged father down.
"His deceased father would not be who he is today if it weren't for me! How dare he mock and blame our family?"
Frodo's father died because of illness. That's why Frodo took over their businesses all over the world. He also saved their company from bankruptcy.
I heard from the gossip na natanggal siya sa pwesto niya sa military. Iyon pa lang naman ang nalalaman ko at ngayon ko pa lang din nalaman ito.
Nang makapasok ako sa function room na kanina ay nakikinig lamang sa kanila, agad na tumambad sa akin ang mga lamesa na nakabaliktad na.
"Nesrin, my lovely daughter," kaagad na lumambot ang boses ng aking ama.
"Come here," he motioned with his finger and tapped the empty seat next to him.
"We have something to discuss."
"What is it, father?" I said in a pensive tone nang makarating ako sa harapan nila.
"Do you still remember that arrogant bastard from recently?" aniya sa matigas na tono.
"That's the eldest son of Luciano, our family has been in a fued. He's starting to get on my nerves just like his father."
He must have forgotten that Frodo was the same person he ordered me to distract five years ago in order to obtain documents from their company.
"Yes," I replied in a calm manner. "What about him?"
"Seduced him and robbed him of his fortune. That will kill his ego. You can do whatever you want. Just get rid of him."
My pupils dilated. Hindi ko inaasahan ito.
"But father, isn't my sister getting older for that? we can just think of other—" I cut my eldest brother off.
"I understand," I gave them a small smile bago ako tumayo sa pagkakaupo sa upuan.
"Mauuna na ako, my escort is probably waiting for me," pagdadahilan ko pa sa kanila.
Nang lumabas ako ay agad kong pinakita ang totoong mukha ko. I threaded a hand through my hair in frustration.
I can't even say no to my father. He has a bad temper. Gusto niya laging nasusunod at nakakatakot siya magalit.
"Fuck..." I cursed in an undertone, pulling my hair lightly.
Paano na ako makakaiwas sa kanya kapag lagi ko siyang kasama? It's only a matter of time before Frodo finds out about my secret!
"Nesrin!" nilingon ko ang tumawag sa akin.
Mas lalong sumama ang pakiramdam ko nang makita ko kung sino ito, it was Oseil.
