Quinn's
The good thing about driving this car makes me push my maximum speed to the limit---That's what I have now in mind. So I just hit it off the road and set my foot on the accelerator, gripped my steering wheel and maneuvered my baby to drift off on to the curves of the National Highway!
Haha! That was so fantastic.. Oopss!
Looks like someone caught my frantic and dangerous stunt.
I just over geared and took advantage of his lame car. Ang boring niya mag drive. Now I wonder if the driver was the same owner of la funeraria or maybe he was a descendant of Donnatello or Micheal Angelo?
I laughed hard at the thought--- oo crazy naman talaga ako! Blame my entangled brain.
Haha!
Hindi na ako nasorpresa noong may kumatok sa tinted car window ko. I stopped few meters away from where he pulled over to stop.
Pero hindi ako hihingi ng dispensa. I just wanted to see his epic facial reaction --whoever that damn ass is.
But I was surprised and disbelief reigned into my consciousness when I turned my gaze to the man outside my window.
His face was already red that it could explode anytime.
I thought I froze for a while.
Siya iyon! Oh God! The man who took my hymen drastically ripped out--oh not bad.
It was really fun though..Thrilling and heavenly?
Oh gosh! Mabuti nalang at tinted ang car window ko!
Sa sobrang pag kagulat ko ay napaharurot ko ang sasakyan ng di oras! Oh no! Hindi pwedeng mag krus ang mga landas namin.
Oh please God! Let that man be out of my life! Dont make us cross our paths again..
Although I miss his thing.. Oh damn! Ang pervy ko na! Sorry po! That was three years ago.. That's why im acting like a deprived prey!
I'm a bitch.. But Im not a w***e.
My life's a mess and I don't care.
Mayaman ako. Maimpluwensiya ang family ko. Kaya wala akong paki sa buhay ng iba.
I am mean. I don't make friends--well I have a best friend, her name's Bobbie.
But she's now out of the country.
I flew to Germany three years ago.. --oh I guess you don't want to know why.. That will just bore the whole story.
But to make it short. I ran away. I stowed away. Naglayas ako.
Yeah that's it. Nagalit ako sa parents ko. Why? They want me to marry someone. And that made my way to different parts of the world.
Yes, I toured around the world for the past three years. My job requires it too though.
I'm a photojournalist. Matino ang trabaho ko pero mapanganib. I went to different countries to cover what's happening around the world. Specifically war between countries and religions.
And I'm really proud of my job! I made this far.
Kahit na aayaw ng tatay ko sa trabaho ko. The reason why I stowed away. They didnt want me to be engaged to my passion.
Akala niyo ba asa parin ako sa magulang ko? Hell no!
Ah nga pala let me rephrase my previous sentences about the mayaman thingy – 'bat ba ang yabang ko?
Okay I'm not rich. Mayaman ako dahil sa magulang ko. I'm not powerful. Nasabit lang ako sa impluwensiya nila.
And now I'm heading my way to my odd parent's turf. Pray for my health because later on I might lose my petty mindset and might give in to the shrink.
And that damn silver Lamborghini --my one night stand s***h only man who entered my sacred paradise.
To hell with him!
Because there's no way I'm going to show my face to him again! As in never!
Kahit na ang gwapo niya!
Kahit na ang macho niya!
Oh kahit na ang yummy niya!
Ay ano ba yan!
Leche!
Okay I'm done with my little pep talk in mind. Because I'm already boarding down to inferno-- este sa mansion ng parents ko.
I eased my way to the mansion house not minding the security guards who are now chasing me from behind. They are a bunch of perky idiots.
I got in the vicinity through the main gate.
why?
It is widely opened.
Eh kung masamang tao ako--patay silang lahat sa bagsik ni GIOVANNO--my tyrant dad!
Natatawa parin ako dahil hindi nga pala nila alam na darating ako :) Ngayon lang kasi ako nagkaisip dumalaw sa magulang ko.
And I wonder of what way would they welcome me?
A slap perhaps? And a little blabbering about the marrying thingy. Ganoon lang naman sila. Hindi naman sila masamang magulang para ipagpilitan ang ayaw ko.
So I stopped the engine and climbed down the car door as soon as I reached the front door.
Nagulat ang mga guards at maids noong bumaba ako. Im a goddess sent from mt. Olympus eh?
"S-si ma'am Quinn iyan diba?" May nagsalita mula sa likod ko when I turned my back to face her. Nagulat ako.. Ang laki na niya.
" Gellie?" I uttered with excitement in my voice
Yeah Gellie was only three when I left at ngayon ay lumaki na siya! Ang cute cute niya! Para ko na siyang baby doll noon eh. Siya kasi ang malimit kong bihisan at dalhin sa mall noon.
"ma'am Quinn!" She yelled with a beaming joy evident on her face
"Come! Gellie baby! Hug momma Quinn!" I opened my arms wider to hug her. Tumakbo siya sa akin at yinakap ako ng mahigpit. Oh I miss her so damn much!
Lumuwag ang pagkakayakap ko sa kanya at yumuko ako para magkapantay ang tingin namin sa isa't isa.
"How are you Gellie baby? I miss you so much! " I giggled
"I miss you too momma Quinn" -momma Quinn kasi ang hiniling kong itawag niya sa akin.
"Ang laki-laki mo na Gellie baby.. May crush ka na siguro ano?" I teased her
That made her face flushed.
I laughed at her and pinched her nose slightly
"So who's the lucky guy huh?" I asked again. Nagyuko siya ng ulo sa hiya
"Thats enough QUINN! Now get inside the house and lets talk!" Pukaw ng isang ma-awtoridad na boses sa likod ko.
GIOVANNO DE VERA.
Sa lahat ng storya, may kaakibat na kontrabida.
De joke. Tatay ko pala yan.
Napa-angat ang tingin ko at ubod tamis akong ngumiti sa kanya.
why would I be afraid of him?
" oh! I miss you dada!" I stood up straight and walked towards him! "You are still handsome my dada! " I clung my arms on to his nape and kissed his cheeks. That's one way of luring my parents! Haha! One evil charm and they are already screwed!
"QUINN! " my dad snapped as his mad and ruthless eyes darted on me.
I pouted my lips and braced my arms on my chest; I'm not scared naman to him, so why succumb?
"Hindi ako namiss ng dada ko" kunwari ay nagtatampo ang himig ng boses ko.
" stop being childish QUINN DE VERA! " hindi naman ako natinag. Nilaparan ko pa ang pagkakangiti ko sakanya. At umabrisyete sa mga braso niya na tila walang tensiyong nagaganap sa pagitan namin.
" tara na dada.. Let's go inside. I'm sure Mimi's now waiting for me in the dining area" Si mommy lang kasi ang nakakaalam na uuwi ako. Haha
Napakunot naman ang noo ng daddy ko.
"she knows that I'm coming. I didn't let you know because I want to surprise you dada!" Napayakap ulit ako sa daddy ko. See? Ang rebelde ko pero ang sweet ko sakanila—' pag may kailangan.
" okay okay. Now do tell me.. Ano ang kailangan ng iresponsable kong anak?" He asked me with his eyes intently looking at me. We stopped in the middle of the living room. Napanguso ako at nagpapadyak.
"Uhm.. Dada naman pag malambing may kailangan agad? Hindi ba pwedeng miss ko lang kayo ni mimi?" Yeah that is one hell of a lie.
Lie.lie.lie.
Sanay ako diyan.
" I heard the news." he firmly stated.
I shook my head and smiled at him hiding my true emotion about hearing what he'd said.
Kahit na gusto ko sanang may mapatunayan, kahit na sinuway ko sila. Gusto kong ipagmalaki na may nagawa akong tama.
"I resigned. I wasn't forced to get rid of the job" I reasoned out
"I know everything about you, Quinn"
Hindi na ako nagulat alam ko naman na hindi malabong pasundan niya ako mula noong umalis ako.
" alam niyo naman pala . Tinatanong pa" nakanguso kong turan.
"brat" he just said and walked me through the dining area. And there I saw my mom!
She's preparing our meals with the maids when we entered the dining area.
"Mimi!" I screamed with joy
"Quinn, baby!" Nagulat siya nang magtaas siya ng tingin.
"Mimi I miss you! I miss you! " I gave my mom butterfly kisses all over her face. Urgh! I miss her so damn much! Kung may very best friend man akong matatawag si mommy iyon. Okay second best lang si Bobbie.
She raised her eyebrows on me.
"Mimi ang sungit mo naman . I just arrived home tapos tataasan mo ako ng kilay?" I pouted at may halong pagtatampo sa boses ko
"because you ran away. You didn't even tell me that you're going to pursue that job. You made me worried every time I see you on national television hitting off war vicinities" My mom whimpered at the thought.
"Mimi.. You know what I'd always say whenever I put myself in danger? 'My mom loves me. I know she'll pray for my wellness as well as with my safety' " I smiled at her sweetly and continued, "That's why I'm still freaking alive mom. Thanks!" I hugged her so tight, she hugged me back. Oh! Her warmth is my comfort.
"Oh Quinn.. Ikaw parin ang baby ko"
"I know I know.. Mimi nasaan si Kuya?" I miss my older brother too kahit na palagi niya akong inaaway at pinapagalitan. Yeah he is the little tyrant of this house.
"He's now in the office. Working" my dad butted in . And emphasized the word WORKING
I made a face.
Alam ko na ang ibig sabihin ni GIOVANNO.
"Dad.. Not this time.. I just got home" I lazily uttered
"It is inevitable to talk about BUSINESS here Quinn. Alam mong kayo lang ng kuya mo ang maaasahan ko!"
"Okay! Okay! Kain muna tayo dad.. Mimi? Gutom na ako" I just said to divert the topic.
Ilang sandaling katahimikan ang pumailanlang hanggang sa may sinabi si Dad na hindi agad rumehistro sa utak ko. O ayaw lang talagang tanggapin ng sistema ko?
The other day, ay iyon nanaman ang topic ng tatay ko, nagsama pa ng kanang kamay ni satanas.
"What?!" Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi s***h inuutos ng dad ko. I just can't swallow it.
"That's what you get from being a brat" my brother butted in.
I just frowned at him.
"Quinn.. It's like a matter of life and death for you. I already accepted the fact that you don't want to marry the person I want for you. But you can't defy me this time" an evil smile was formed on my dad's lips.
"But dad..."
"No more buts Quinn.. You're going to work for the LORENZO's or I will forfeit everything you have now." Matigas niyang sabi. Oh no! My dada could be this tricky sometime
Nag puppy eyes pa ako sakanya,
"Try harder baby sis. Trust me. That won't do any progress" inaasar nanaman ako ni Lucifer the second! Oh how I hate this tandem!
"Ha-ha I love you kuya" I said sardonically, glaring at him
"I love you better now sissy" he smiled at me annoyingly.
Okay lang sana kung magtrabaho ako sa ibang kompanya. Okay lang sa mga Lorenzo.. I know them . I met them once --the older Lorenzo's perhaps but I haven't met their son yet--at a certain business party that was held in a five star hotel three years ago.
But as a secretary? Oh damn! Ayoko! That was not in line with my previous job! --eh ano ba ang linya ng dating trabaho mo ang related sa business?
Damn!
"Dada I don't want to be someone's or anyone's slave! Kahit sa accounting department mo nalang ako ilagay!" I pleaded
"No. You will be working at Lorenzo Empire as the CEO's secretary. And that's final"
"Dada naman eh. I supposed you also want me to work for your company. I'm going to accept your offer already. Wag mo lang ako ipamigay sa iba" I know I am overreacting
"Sissy we are not giving you away. We are making this thing to teach you a lesson. Besides it would be the best way to be your training ground" my big brother's already smirking. I know what's playing on his good for nothing mind. He wants to piss the hell out of me!
"And I'm not giving you a choice" my dada was looking right into my eyes as if telling me 'trust-me'
"Okay! Okay! Sige na! Papayag na! Nakakainis" I snorted, rolling my eyes upward.
"That's my baby girl" bipolar ng dada ko noh? Kanina he's acting like a tyrant. Ngayon para na siyang si papa bear!
Urgh!
"Good dog" my annoying brother patted my hair
"Shuttap!"
And now I know everything's changed. From the moment I agreed with these two demons, trouble had already come my way.
Ayoko but I have to.
Goodluck to me. And to the Ceo--whoever that Ceo would be. I know hindi siya uubra sa akin kahit na siya pa ang maging boss ko.
Hindi ako magpapa under! Itaga niyo iyan sa bato.
My name's QUINN DE VERA.
And I'm a goddamn b***h!
