Even though I was having a hard time because of the weight of my feeling, I left our house. As quiet as I entered the house earlier, so quiet was my exit.
All this time, Lele was the cause of all the chaos in my life. I must admit that she’s one of the best actresses of all times because she makes me believe in her drama.
Why didn’t I think of that?
I must have thought then that there was something wrong when we were together but she suddenly pretended to have something to do. And the next thing is, I woke up in another room. That was enough reason for me to be skeptical and suspect her.
And she was angry when he thought Tranz had another woman . I thought she was concerned about me, but she wasn’t because she was just jealous.
And how can I explain her reaction when she found out I was pregnant ?!
Because of the thought, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking that maybe Lele was the reason why Tranz didn’t want to believe I was pregnant.
And what if—
What if she was the reason why Tranz was convinced he was barren?
But earlier I was sure that Tranz already knew that she was not barren because Lele said she was pregnant and he was the father.
We our fool, Tranz, because we believed the plot of your cunning stepsister made!
I hate myself for falling into her traps.
“What am I going to do now?” I talk to myself.
Even though I didn’t have a good, talking to Tranz didn’t cross my mind. Not yet, especially that I don’t want him to know that I already know about what is happening between them.
I turned the car on and went to Lily’s house. She was still awake and really waiting for me. I told hee what I found out and as usual she was very angry for Lele.
“Oh, what are you going to do now? Don’t you say you’re going back to Tranz ?! Oh, Mina, don’t ever do that if you don’t want to be beaten! ”
I put my elbow on the armrest of the sofa and lowered myself. My head is spinning but it’s empty. I literally couldn’t think of a plan.
“Dummy, don’t do that because I don’t have any coins.”
“Huh?” I can’t understand her.
“I don’t have a penny for 500 pesos.” she sipped his coffee first before looking at me seriously. “Minakels, why don’t you talk to Tranz’s father?”
“For what?”
“Studis, of course to explain your side. I heard that one is kind, eh, so for sure he will listen to you before giving you a verdict. ”
Lily is right. Why didn’t I immediately think of Daddy Yvo? He’s fond of me so I won’t have a hard time telling him the truth.
I stood up and tapped her on the shoulder. “I’m leaving, Lily.”
“Oh, where are you going?”
“I’ll talk to Tito Yvo.”
“Gaga, at this hour?”
“Yeah.”
“Maybe the person is resting. Instead of understanding you, he would scold you. ”
I picked up my cell phone and texted him. He immediately replied okay so I walked away but Lily chased me.
“Can I join you?”
“Huh? Your OA. What are you, babysitter? Nevermind. I am fine, don’t worry. ”
She nodded so I opened the door. I thought I could leave but she followed again and held my arm.
“can’t you just stay here? It’s late eh. Maybe the man is sleeping.”
“Nah, he even replied, eh, so you don’t have to worry anymore, okay? I’ll be right back. I just really want to explain myself to others apart from you. ”
“All right, be careful, huh?”
“Yes. ”I promised before I finally got into the car.
Because I was stuck in traffic again, it took me a while to get to Daddy’s house. As usual I have to go through the security guard especially that I’m not from here.
“I’m sorry, Ma’am,” the guard said before letting me in.
Just opposite the gate of the house I parked and got out of the car.
I rang the doorbell a few times but no one opened it so I decided to call Daddy but he didn’t answer.
Maybe he already asleep, I said to myself before I got back in the car to leave. But I suddenly thought that maybe something had happened to Daddy so without a second thought, I rushed to the gate.
It was open so I got in right away.
I even looked around because of the unusual noise I could hear around.
I’m worried about Daddy especially that it’s Sunday so the housemates are on day off. I was about to hold the door to open it when Lily called me and wants me to come home because my parents arrived.
I was even more surprised because she did not say that my parents were coming so my attempt to enter the house did not continue. I ran back to my car and pulled it off. I miss my parents so I’m happy with this surprise from Lily.
When I arrived at Lily’s house my parents greeted me happily. Seth and Tricia are also here.
I slept with a smile on my face. I thought my life would be fine but I just thought it was.
Because the next day I woke up because the police went to Lily’s house to invite me to the precinct. I seem to be a suspect in the death of Yvo Fernandez. Although I wanted to explain my side, I didn’t do much because Mom had high blood pressure. Lily immediately took her to the hospital.
Today my life is more complicated. But the Capestrana sibling didn’t leave my side. Seth hired a good lawyer and talked to me. He was his cousin. I explained to him everything. He said there was a good chance that I would be acquitted, especially if it was proven that I did not enter the house.
Tranz visited me. He was with Lele and Tita Mercedes. To my surprise, Tranz slapped me hard so the next thing that happened was that the two women hurt me too.
“I’ll make sure you rot in this jail! You are an animal, woman! You killed my husband! ” Aunt Mercedes would have slapped me one more time but a hand grabbed her hand.
It’s Seth. He’s with Lily who had a bad look at the three who hurt me. “Gosh! The fish stinks — I mean the fish here! Guard, give me an alcohol because the virus here is contagious! ” she pointed at the cops who were around. “You policemen are really stupid, yes! You know that they were working together to hurt my friend, but you were just watching! ”
I grabbed Lily’s hand to restrain her. Fortunately, she listened to me.
“Remember this, Mina. I will do anything to make you rot in jail! ” Tranz promised before they left.
Somehow I breathed a sigh of relief when I said that my mother was okay. Dad, on the other hand, wanted to come here, but they decided not to let him tag along because it might hurt him.
But the miracle happened also this day. I was acquitted. Because they didn’t see any fingerprints of mine at the crime scene because I didn’t enter the house. Tranz returned with Lele and Aunty Mercedes and face me again. Lele and Tita Mercedes even insisted that I was guilty but an unexpected evidence came.
That was from the noisy thing I heard last night.
It was a drone with a video in it.
Mrs. Sandoval son showed us the content of the video. My arrival at Daddy Yvo’s house until I left.
I filed the annulment. And after two years, the annulment was granted.
3 YEARS LATER ....
“What can you say about the success of your movie?”
“How does it feel to be the most beautiful face in the world?”
“Everyone knows you’re Hollywood’s most on-demand actress, who do you want to work with next?”
“Is the news true that you don’t want to do a project in the Philippines? Why? ”
“Is the rumor that you are dating Prince Tyron true?”
That question rang out to me in conjunction with the dazzling camera flash.
Who would have thought that despite my misfortune in life I would be successful like this?
