Burning Me Twice (Filipino)

Prologue She felt the blazing warmth of the weather of Manila. She is more into the cold season, just like how she felt with her 20 years of existence. She is empty inside and everyone almost knows about it. She will be haunted forever by her darkest part of her life. It was the day she lost everything with her- her parents, her happiness, her everything. At ang marka sa kanyang mukha na pilit niyang huwag ipagamot ang siyang nagpapaalala sa kanya na naging mahinang babae man siya noon. She is the new Jillian now. She can stand on her own feet. She is now shaped into a female alpha. Feared by men and ruthless tagged by everyone that knows her in terms of the business industry. She is one of the most influencing business women. She is now a remarkable new person. Malayong malayo sa pagiging mahinang Jillian niya noon. Pagkababa niya sa kanyang private jet ay nasa bungad agad ang family driver nila. Jillian was greeted by the driver- Sander. The guy bowed to her, at saka na binuksan ang naghihintay na lamborghini na kulay itim. "Welcome back, Mistress Jillian..." said by Sander with the tone of respect. The guy is standing tall, but he is intimidated by the presence of Jillian. And Jillian is aware of that. Aware siya na hindi siya basta-basta that Jillian after many years, she gained so much with herself. She gains her name with effort. Pinaghirapan niya na makilala siya bilang siya ngayon, at kung ano ang kinatatayuan niya. She doesn't easily get what she has right now. She cultivate her resources, became patience to climb on the ladder. Maraming humadlang sa patuloy niyang pag-angat... But no one succeeded. She is a strong woman in deed. She values herself more than anyone else. "Sa condo ako ngayon. I am not on my mood to go home. I already talk to Seraphim this matter. Alam mo na ba kung saan ang condo ng kapatid ko?" tanong ni Jill sa binata. She is browsing her phone while they are on the middle of the ride. She is looking at some news, reading articles, the report left to her. It is very problematic. She never imagines going home again here in the Philippines. And it might take up for a long period of time. She really hates that idea. Iniisip pa lang niya ang pwedeng mangyari, lalo na at makikita niya muli ang lalaking puno at dulo ng pagkarimarim niya sa ibang mga binata, her blood is boiling red. "Yes Mistress. Mistress Seraphim already inform me about the address of your condo. Your other luggage will be at there at exactly nine pm tomorrow..." saad ng nagda-drive na binata kay Jill. Jill didn't bother to say or mutter any words. She just listens and that is all. She doesn't feel obligated to respond. She is not even asking for the additional information. Pagkarating ni Jill sa condo ay agad niyang inayos ang kanyang mga gamit. She did not employ any helper; she doesn't like to have a companion on her room or pad. It suffocates her, she felt that way so she just rather go alone. She finds peace and comfort with loneliness. And she does not really need a helper anyway. She grew too independent that she can do simple home or house chores. She can wash her own clothes, the dishes on the sink, cook her own meal and clean the house. She has a hand and a time to do so. At saka ayaw ni Jill ng ideya na may humahawak sa mga gamit niya. It is a great no. Inayos na niya ang mga gamit niya, she doesn’t want any mess on her house. She is not that much exhausted. Naniniwala rin kasi siya na kung kaya niyang gawin ngayon- why not do it right now? She is not a fan of 'bukas na lang' phrases. It saves her time and it does not make her bothered later on. What bother her most is the fact that her adopted parents ask for her help... And that helps also includes that she need to collaborate with the greatest man she hates the most. Ang lalaki na naging dahilan ng peklat sa kanyang kaliwang mukha. It was the one who pierce her, and her soul. After she takes a shower, she readies herself to cook for her food and go straight to the bed. She knows that a lot of work will come and will face her tomorrow. She needs to conserve her energy and she needs to relax before the coming storm. MONTHS and months had passed, and all of those months are so exhausting for her, for both physically and mentally. She never thought that she will go through this kind of hardship again. Mani lang kung tutuusin dapat kay Jill ang trabaho sa opisina. She can totally rule a company well using her resources and intelligence. She can, and that is effortless to make. Ang nakakapag-stress lang sa kanya ay ang lalaking dapat na tinutulungan niya. Jillian expected the worst of all… worst with Jack. Mas lalo pa ngang lumala ang binata. Ang akala niya ay same intensity lang ng kademonyuhan ang makikita niya. She never expected that she will meet the other son of Satan. Jack the jerk. Ang lalaki na puno at dulo ng stress ni Jill. Pinakiusapan siya ng kanyang ninang at adopted mother na kung baka pwede niyang tulungan si Jack. Jack is now the one who operates their family business. Sadly, dahil nga sa may kulang sa turnilyo sa utak ang lalaki sa isip ni Jill. The company is now on the verge of collapsing. Thanks heaven and at least, tinulungan ni Jillian si Jack... Or their family business is now turning into ashes. And on the pass months, she made a huge mistake. And that mistake is the worst thing she wants to forget immediately. Maloko si Jack, matamis magsalita at kilalang tirador at palengkero. All of the restrictions and at least action to push away that guy has no effect at all. Dahil kahit gaano pa katibay ang panangga na inilagay ni Jill. Jack created a way to pierce the barrier. It is just another one night mistake, a night full of burning desire. She hates Jack, but Jack also makes her alive that night. Ipinaranas sa kanya ni Jack ang maging isang babae, sa loob ng isang magdamagan. Kaya nga dalawang linggo ng iniiwasan ni Jill ang binata, and she is doing one greae job. She is looking at her papers on her office. Nagbabalak na niyang lisanin ang kompanya na ito at bumalik sa abroad. She will mitigate the impact. She won't fall on his trap. She promised it that day she woke up naked beside that devil beast. "Iniiwasan mo ba ako?" tanong ni Jack kay Jill nang pumasok ito sa office. Jill can see Jack with a fuming mad expression. He looks like he will explode any second. Jill did not understand why this man is being irrational right now. She has certainly no idea. "I don't have time to talk to you. If it is not about business, we have nothing to chat on, please leave my office and close the door,'' saad ni Jillian. She is remaining calm and stoic. Although the truth is, she is slowly getting weak with that guy's presence. Umiling si Jack at nilapitan si Jill. "The day I marked you, I made you as mine. You are d*mn mine!"
