FOREWORD Two years earlier Shin Lexandra Ferrell’s Point of View Fuck that old man! How dare he treat me like this?! He dared to beat up my two only damn friends just because he wants me to go back to this stinky place?! I am a noble lady with or without his damn surname! And because I am a noble lady I will make him pay the price for playing f*****g dirty! Flashback *ring*ring* Arghh I'm still sleepy! Who the hell is disturbing my sleep?! Never mind! I’ll just answer the damn call so that I can go back to sleep. I opened my right eye and I begin to move my right arm in order to locate where my phone is. And when I finally grabbed it, I automatically swiped it to the right, then I put it on my left ear. “Hell?” – This is my common greeting to whoever tries to call me in such an hour. But when I heard the voice of the caller, I immediately rise up from my bed “[Sh-Shin... He-Help. arghhh!]” – It’s Lance, my best friend and based from the tone of his voice, I know he is damn hurt “Lance!? What the hell happened?! Why are you hurt?!” – I exclaimed as I hurriedly got up from my bed. I walked towards my closet and I put the phone into loudspeaker mode so that I can change while I am talking to him. “[We-we-we're beaten up... Oh s**t Sh-Shin, h-hideout – What the- the line just damn cut? Damn it I need to hurry up! I need to see if they are alright and if they aren’t, I will still have time to bring them to the hospital. For f**k’s sake who the hell dared to harm Lance and Jacob! I hurriedly put on my clothes, and just as I am about to tie the shoelaces of my shoes, my phone suddenly started to ring. And when I looked who the caller is, I immediately frown when I saw it is an unknown number. Like who the heck is this? It is really impossible for someone to know my personal number. But I need to answer this—this may be important and I feel that this is related to whatever happened to Lance and Jacob. “Hello?” – I greeted and when the caller answered my greetings, I immediately froze “[Hello my daughter]” - H-h-how? How can he possibly get my number?! s**t! I forgot that he can manipulate everything! “[Come home and I'll spare your friends lives]” – he continued and he immediately ended the call. Nabitawan ko ang aking cellphone dahilan para bumagsak ito sa tiles ng aking walk-in-closet at dahilan din para mabasag ang screen nito. Lumipas ang isang minuto at nantili lang akong nakatingin sa kawalan. And when I realized that they are waiting for me ay malutong akong napamura kasabay ng mabilis kong pag-sintas ng aking sapatos. “f**k”- Damn I can't risk their lives. Tumakbo na ako papalabas ng aking closet at agad kong dinampot ang susi sa aking kotse. I also immediately stormed out of my condo unit and out the building where I live in. Dali-dali akong pumunta sa kotse kong nakaparada, pumasok ako dito at ng umandar na ito ay mabilis ko itong pinaharurot. Wala pang sampung minute ng marating ko ang hideout naming tatlo na parang isang maliit lamang na apartment. Pinarada ko ang aking kotse sa gilid at mabilis akong lumabas dito. Tumakbo ako papalapit ng bahay ay ng buksan ko ang pinto ay naestatwa ako sa aking nakita. Broken Glass Blood on the floor Broken sofa The flower pots are also broken It's really a complete mess. I roam my eyes and there I saw two of my friends lying on the ground with blood all over them. I run towards them and I held their hands. "Lance, Jacob, w-wh-what h-h-happen?" – nauutal kong tanong sa kanilang dalawa. I can’t take this sight of them. And I can tell that my devil father really beat the s**t out of them. And I can’t help but feel guilty. "T-They- f**k- whatever ha-happens don’t fo-follow h-him" – Lance blurted out with his eyes still closed. “Do-don’t go” – Jacob also said I held their hands even tighter and I clenched my teeth out of frustration. That devil shall pay for this. He shall damn pay for hurting my only friends. Fast Forward I'm here in the hospital holding Lance's and Jacob’s hands. It’s already been twelve hours and they still have no signs of waking up. I only have an hour left and I am waiting for at least one of them to wake up so that I can say my farewell formally. I just don’t want them to be involved with my business and more importantly, I don’t want them to get hurt because of me again. Just then Lance’s fingers suddenly twitched and before I knew it, he is already calling my name "S-S-Shin"- He said and I immediately let go of both of their hands and I rushed outside to call a doctor. Luckily a doctor is already coming in my direction. He entered the ward and he immediately checked Lance’s vital signs. "He's fine. Don’t worry, Ms. Ferrell, your friend is strong but I advise you, young man, to take a rest for a week to recuperate. Just call me or another doctor when the other patient wakes up" - The doctor said and I gave him a nod. Lumabas na siya ng kwarto at bumaling muli ako kay Lance "Shin, whatever you are planning, don’t - he said while looking straight at my eyes, pleading that I will stay. But I already made up my mind to leave and handle things on my own. "I need to Lance... I can't risk you and Jacob" - I said and I saw sadness in his eyes. I know that he will be sad and I hate it when he and Jacob are sad. They are my only friends and they matter to me the most "And my flight is an hour from now" - I continued and I flinched when he suddenly threw the flower vase beside him that created a loud shattering noise. "f**k I am so worthless." -he said while gritting his teeth and right now I can only see anger in his eyes. I heave a deep sigh and I sat beside him. Once again and for the last time I held his hands “You are not. Both you and Jacob are strong and you guys did everything you could. And right now, it is my turn to do everything I could. Remember this is not farewell since I know that we will meet again someday.” – I said with a sad smile on my lips. Pinagdikit ko ang noo naming dalawa and I put my hands on his shoulder. “Just tell Jacob what I told you okay? I am counting on you and I hope that you will continue your lives like nothing happened” – I said and I know it came out like a whisper. I know that our position is quite intimate but we are not lovers. We will never be. We are just best friends and we are just so close to each other since he is actually my first friend. The first person who approached me and did not care who I am and what my surname is. “We will come and get you when we get stronger. Mark my words Shin Lexandra” – he whispered as well and I just smiled at his remarks. Hindi ako aasa na darating ang oras na yun ng mas maaga dahil alam kong mahirap ang gagawin kong paghihiganti. I know that by the time that these two men will fetch me, I am already at my revenge and that I cannot back out. This revenge is not just for my friends, this is also for myself and for my late mother. I swear that I will damn have my revenge just you wait father. End of Flashback Tiningil ko ang aking sasakyan sa harap ng gate ng isang bahay. Tsk let me rephrase that it's a mansion, of course it’s a mansion. The gate automatically opened and I went in, pinarada ko ang aking sasakyan sa mismong harap ng pintuan papasok ng bahay. Bumaba na ako ng aking kotse, tska ako dumirteso sa compartment ng sasakyan at kinuha ko ang aking maleta doon. Mabilis akong naglakad papalapit sa pinto at tska ko hinawakan ang door knob. I took a deep breath at tska ko binuksan ang pinto ngunit sa pagbukas ko ng pinto ay agad akong nagyelo sa aking pwesto ng mapansin kong hindi nagbago ang interior ng mansion. It is just the same as that day. BANG! "MOM!!!!!” "S-Sh-Shin m-my ba-baby" - my mom said "Mom don't leave me *sniff* Mom" - I pleaded while I cried but my mom just gave me a warm smile as she closed her eyes. I cried but then I decided to look at the person who shot my mom and when I turn around, I froze when I saw my father holding a gun. “Daddy? Why?” "Who the hell are you?!" – agad akong napabalik sa realidad ng biglang may sumigaw sa kung saan. f**k! Why did I suddenly remember those memories?! Tsk I did not expect that I will remember it the moment I opened the f*****g door. Anyways, agad na hinanap ng mata ko ang sumigaw and I frowned when I saw a man standing not so far from me, all sweaty and is just wearing sweatpants with a towel hanging on his shoulder. "None of your f*****g business" – I replied. I chose to reply that because I don’t know him. And I am having this thought that he is the son of my father with a different woman. "You've got a sharp tongue miss" -Another guy appeared out of nowhere and he is also wearing the same thing as the first stranger who appeared. The only difference is his hair is different. Like it is dyed with a blonde color. I did not bother to answer him, rather I just rolled my eyes. "Who's this lady?" – I heard one of them asked but I did not bother to answer it since I am not the one being questioned. I put my right hand inside my pocket to grab my phone but I clicked my tongue when I did not touch anything. I am about to run outside to get my phone in my car in case I dropped it but I stopped when I remembered that I actually broke it the day before yesterday when my father called. "f**k! I forgot to buy another phone! s**t!" - I whispered but I know that it is loud enough for the two men not far for me to hear. I begin to massage my temple because I am getting really irritated at the moment and just as I am calming my nerves, I heard a very familiar voice. "Stop cussing my dear daughter" - How could I ever forget that f*****g voice? He's the reason why my friends got beaten up and my mother died! And oh yeah, he is none other than my father! Great right? And how dare he tell me to stop cussing? Tsk "Don't order me around Mr. Ferrell. " - I coldly said and when I turn around to look at him, I immediately grit my teeth. Tsk His face did not change even a bit. I need to f*****g calm my nerves or else I might just attack him. "Mr. Ferrell? I'm your father so why not call me dad like you used to?" - He said and I just gave him a playful smirk. Call him what? Dad? Is he nuts? "Dream on " - I said in a mocking tone and the two guys looked like they are so shocked with what they just heard. Teka nga sino ba sila? I am not really familiar with their effin’ faces. "Dad who is she?!" - asked the first guy who appeared out of nowhere. Dad?! Okay so they are his kids. From whom? I should know para malaman ko kung patay nadin ba yung nanay nila gaya ng ginawa niya kay mom. "Anak sa labas?!" - Second guy who appeared exclaimed which made me glare at him. What the f**k?! Me?! A mistress's daughter?! No f*****g way!! Back sila yung anak sa labas for f**k’s sake I am a legal daughter! “Morons. She is your long-lost younger sister, Shin Lexandra” – walang ka-emo-emosyong saad ni magaling kong ama. Ah so I am their long-lost young—wait what the f**k did he just say?! They are what?! "SHIN?!!" – The two said in unison. My jaw almost dropped luckily, I prevented it from happening. s**t! I can't even recognize them! Did puberty really hit them that f*****g hard? " Shin it's really you! It's me Storm Alejandro " – the second guy exclaimed which made me raise an eyebrow. So, he's Storm. I remember him being the payatot brother of mine but right now he got fit but what's with the damn eyeliner?! f**k yes even though he is quite far from me I know that he is wearing a damn eyeliner! "Thank God you came back Shin" - The first guy said. And I know that he is none other than Sky Andrei. And I remember him being the quiet one but from his reaction, I know that he also changed. But why do I actually give a damn? They are just my older brothers nothing more and nothing less. "Where's my room? I need to rest." – I just said. Tch am I rude for not giving a damn? Well, I really don’t care. "Same my dear daughter" - Mr. Ferrell said and I just rolled my eyes. Tsk he has the guts to call me daughter after 9 years. Tsk I didn't answer him and I climb the stairs to my room. Kitang kita ko sa peripheral vision ko ang pagiling ng dalawa kong kapatid which made me grit my teeth again. They should have known that our father killed our mother, they should have despised him the way I do but why do they act like nothing ever happened? Tsk. Anyways, malalabas ko din ang baho ng sarili kong ama. When I finally in front of my room's door memories of my childhood start to flash in my mind again. I opened the door and when I got inside, I close and locked it. I don’t want anyone to disturb me or try to enter my room without permission. Inikot ko ang aking paningin at napakunot ako ng noo ng makita ang itsura ng aking kwarto. The color of the wall is still pink damn I really hate this f*****g color. f**k this room needs some renovation.
