The Revenger and The Pretending Heiress

Chapter 2

CLAIRE

Iginala ko ang mga mata ko sa kabuuan ng 1BR apartment na nirentahan ko dito sa New York City

And it didn't disappoint me

May maliit na sala at mini kitchen

Magkarugtong iyon at isang comfort room

Binuksan ko ang Isang pintuan

I think this will be the bedroom

Napangiti uli ako

I feel satisfied

Kuntento na ako sa laki at ayos nito

Mag isa lang naman ako

At kahit pumunta at bumisita sina Mommy at Daddy dito

Sa hotel naman sila naglalagi

So it's not a big deal for me ang place na ito kung maliit lang

Sanay naman ako sa ganitong klaseng pamumuhay

Bumalik ako sa Sala at pabagsak na umupo.

I rested my head behind at hinilot ang sintido ko.

I feel exhausted and tired for 12 hours non stop flight

Tomorrow is a new day

New journey.

Small grin form into the corner of my lips

New experience I guess

How i loved my freedom and Privacy..

This is life

I've always wanted to be

I would start my job hunting again

Di naman ako mapili sa trabaho

Basta legal at marangal lang

It's not that i really wanted it

Money is not a problem for me

May Credit card akong Unlimited

Well, funded by no other than my billionaire Father

Michael John Lorenzo

A welthiest business Tycoon in the Philippines and Spain

Not to mention owner of the luxury hotel here in New York

My father owned the Lorenzo Empire

One of the successful business Empire in recent Era

The line of the businesses covered by Lorenzo Empire are,

Real State,

Investment,

Hotel and Malls.

And Recently my father aquired the ownership of one of the leading telecommunication company in the Philippines

My father indeed one hell filthy Rich Business Tycoon

At alam ko sooner or later

John Andrie my twin brother will gonna follow my dad's footsteps

He would be our father's Succesor

He's the heir to the throne

And happy for him

Thank god dahil nang isilang kami naging dalawa kami

I cant even imagine my self as my dad's successor

John Andrie graduated with business related course in the Philippines

Our parents wanted to send him in Harvard but he refused

He love Philippines and maybe love the spotlight there

While in my case

Far from any business course

I got my diploma in Paris France

In Fashion Design Management

Kuntento na ako doon

Mas gusto ko ng ganito malayo sa social world

Ayaw ko ng walang privacy

Kaya pinili ko ang buhay na ganito

Out of the radar ng Media

Unlike other heiress or succesors

Hindi ako mahilig sa limelight

People rarely recognized me

And I'm very happy for that

I just can't stand the lifestyle of the Children and grandchildren of the richest people in the world!

The kind of lifestyle is literally out of this world

May sarili silang social circles which is I don't want to belong with

Minsan para silang nabubuhay sa Isang parallel ng very lavishing universe

Na may sarili silang mundo

Mundo ng mga taong exceptional

When you're an heiress to such a large sum of money like my father has.

Lahat ng bagay magagawa mo at lahat ng gusto mo

You can get it without a drop of your sweat

Some other heiress like me are busy doing a lot of things whether they're traveling the world

Doing shopping to the most expensive dresses,bags and shoes around the planet or going partying to very lavish bars and night clubs on the big cities,Some are starting their own business using the family fortune

Each of them is living an amazing kind of lifestyle

Pero ni minsan hindi ako nainggit sa ganung lifestyle

I preferred Simple life

With freedom and Privacy

Yung makakagalaw ako without worrying others opinion

Nagulat ako ng marinig ko ang konting pag kulo ng tiyan ko

Tiningnan ko ang orasan

Almost 4 pm na west coast Local time

I took again my sling chanel bag sa center table sa harapan ko isinabit sa balikat ko and decided to tied my long black messy hair into bun

Kailangan ko munang maghanap ng makakain ko

I don't want to die starving in my first day in the Big Apple

I went outside the apartment as fast as I could

di naman kalakihan ang building nasa 10 to 8 storey lang

At medyo may kalumaan na

Tamang tama lang sa ordinaryong emplyadong tulad ko na may average na sahod na tatanggapin

Naglakad lakad ako gusto kong maging pamilyar sa lugar

Hindi ito ang unang beses ko sa NYC

Actually countless time

parati kami dito mula pa nang bata ako pero pagkatapos ko ng High school minsan na lang kami nagagawi dito

Since I'd decided to live in Pasis and Continue my college there

May Branch ang Hotel De Lorenzo dito nasa Upper class westside ng Manhattan ang location

But never been here in this side of the city

May natanaw akong Coffee Shop

Napangiti ako,I think magiging costumer ako dito pag nagustuhan ko ang menu nila

May nadaanan akong Newstand kaya naisipan kong bumili ng isang copy ng New York Post basta ko na lang pinulot without looking the Front Page

Para may mabasa basa naman ako sa loob ng shop and besides gusto kung ma updated sa curret issue

Nakangiti ang blondeng lalaki sa counter habang nakatingin ako sa kanya

Ngumiti din ako habang tinitingnan ang menung nasa screen sa likod niya

"Good pm !What can I get for the lovely lady?

Ngumiti ito at lumabas ang white pair teeth nito

Obviously he is trying to throw some flirting stuff

OK! He's kinda cute that's all

But far from my taste

I just smile in response and

Definitely ignoring the flirting thing

Because I'm hungry,

Oorder ako ng something heavy

iginala ko ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng menu

While drumming my fingers over the counter table

"I want that Pasta Carbonara with white creamy sauce

And garlic shrimp add it with strawberry smothie"

Ngumiti ako ng bahagya sa Counter

Naalala ko nung time na naging counter din ako sa Velloci Coffee Shop sa France

I worked there for almost 1 year

"Miss beautiful, it's 21$ bucks all"

Tumango ako at kinuha ang credit card ko

The boy looks little bit shocked

When i handed him the Gold platted J.P Morgans Reserve Credit Card

Nakita ko ang gulat sa mga mata niya

And I know the reason

The credit card is exclusive only for those billionaire's around the world

Di basta basta binibigay yun

It's an exclusive membership for elite people whom has tones of dollars on their pockets

May dad gave it to me since mahilig akong magtravel di ko tinanggihan just in case of emergency tulad ngayon, Wala pa akong perang dollars

Philippine peso ang laman ng wallet ko

Nakita kong sinusuri ako ng Counter by the way of his gazed

I raised my brows?

And form a smirked

Para naman itong napahiya kaya napakamot ito sa batok nito.l

I just shrugged my shoulder

And silently type the Pin number

After couple of minutes nasa harapan ko na ang tray na naglalaman ng order ko

Magalang akong nagpasalamat at iginala ang paningin saan pwdeng maupo

Napangiti ako ng makita ko ang bakanteng mesa sa sulok

Tamang tama malapit sa glass window..

Magkakaroon akong chance na igala ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng lugar sa labas

I slowly slammed my big fat a*s on the chair

And Closed my eyes.l

Nagbilang ako ng one to three silently at pinakinggan ko ang huling rumble ng mga bituka ko

napangiti ako at bumulong

Those long curly creatures cant wait for the foods

I'm talking my intestines.

"Easy pets! I'm going to feed you now"

And with that I took a bite of Creamy Pasta..and sip my strawberry smothie.

The taste of the food was quite delicious! I must Admit..

I took again another bite!

"Ummmmm"

Huminga ako ng malalim

Habang ninanamnam ang creamy, salty at nakakaadik na lasa ng white sauce at malambot na pasta noodles sa bibig ko..

It's my reward for my pets inside my stomach for being such an scandalous

I took another bite and licked the warm creamy sause on my lips

Took Another bite and moaned again

Masarap ang pasta I can't deny it one of the best I've ever tasted.

I'm about to taste the garlic shrimp when my phone rang inside my sling bag

Mabilis kong nilabas at tiningnan ko ang caller

I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath just to show how much i love the caller

Damn!

I postponed my very romantic date with the garlic shrimp and answer the call

"Hey Mom"

I said and sip my smoothie

"Claire dumating ka naba sa New York Anak?"

I almost roll again my eyes

Isn't Obvious na nandito na ako sa New York dahil nasagot ko na ang tawag niya

"Ummm Yeah. I'm already here stop worrying Mom, I'll be Ok here"

My mom just answer a long sighed and talk again

"Bat di ka na lang kasi maglagi dito sa pinas nang di kami parating nag aalala ng Daddy mo sayo"

Huminga ako ng malalim

Here we go again

Same scenario and word of wisdom from my dearest mother

"Mom, I thought we'd talked about this matter Right mom?"

"Yah but anak"

"Mom i have to go, I'll call you later,let me finish my food ok?"

"Ok.Take care Claire, please call us whenever there's a problem Ok?"

"Yes.Mom,I will gotta love you"

Heavy sighed came out from my lungs.

Kung ibang tao lang siguro ang nasa kalagayan ko baka habang huhay pang magpasalamat dahil sa swerteng Pagkakaroon ng mayamang magulang

It's not that, Im not fortunate and not happy for having them as my parents.

I do loved them,I love my Family

Ang ayaw ko lang ang mundong ginagawalawan namin

It's exhausting and Frustrating

The fact na wala kang katahimikan

Lahat ng kilos mo dapat iingatan mo dahil ultimong kinakain mo o kahit kulay at amoy ng tae mo big deal na sa mata ng Media.

Biglang nawalan na ako ng ganang kumain yung momentum kanina bigla na lang nawala

I decided to check the newspaper that I've got a while ago from newstand outside the coffee shop

Nothing's new

In the Front page cover you can just read the s**t Bold headlines of Kardashians siblings!

And I bet the next issue should be

The alarming pouted lips or the blonde wig of Caitlyn Jenner.

In short boring and trash!

Napailing iling ako

Society nowadays!

I decided not read the details honestly that family was fame monsters

I skipped the first and second page

And roamed my eyes on the Classified Ad

When my eyes landed to one particular Ad

Napangiti ako
