'Nunca te amaré, Andrés (I will never love you, Andres) Says the voice of a woman who was talking to a man in a suit and wearing black Victorian hat. He was holding a baton that he used as a crutch.
'TodavĂa no, pero pronto volverás a mĂ. (Not yet, but soon you will return to me.") He reassured the woman.
Another scene came and it was the voice of the woman from earlier who was now crying in the scene visibly. Another woman with her hands and feet tied and hanging upside down with a hole in her throat and blood on the floor in this room.
The owner of the voice was now holding the dead body lying on floor . She put the head on her lap , and there a beautiful dead face of a brunette woman is now visible. The voice was crying hard holding the face of the dead body.
'Hindi, huwag mo akong iwanan. Hindi ko kakayanan ang mawala ka sa aking buhay.'
('No, don't leave me. I can't bear to lose you in my life.') She pleaded to the dead like it could hear her.
'Iniibig kita Ligaya, iniibig kita patawarin mo ako kung iniwan kita at iyon ay kailangan kung gawin.'
('I love you Ligaya, I love you forgive me if I left you and that's what I have to do.') Said the voice to the dead body.
'I love you. And yes, I will accompany you wherever, whenever, and I promise to love you even in the afterlife, my dear Ligaya.'' She said before she ended her life with scissors in her chest.
''No!!'' Audrey screamed as she suddenly got up from her bed, bathing herself in sweat. She was breathing deeply as if she had run several miles.
Audrey cried because of the pain and sadness she felt in her chest. She hugged her knees and rested her head there as she gripped the blanket tightly.
A phone call brought her back to her senses; she grabbed her phone under the lamp shade and answered it without checking the caller ID.
''Hello. My bride.'' A baritone voice said on the other line.
''What do you want, Brent?'' Audrey answered with a cracked voice.
'I am just checking on you, and my plane just landed here in Barcelona. Wait, are you crying? Are you that excited about marrying me?'' Said Brent, teasing Audrey instead of asking and comforting her.
''If you have nothing important to say , we can end this call now, Brent.'' said Audrey, annoyed by Brent's lame jokes.
''What is it, Audrey? Is it the nightmares again?'' Brent asks about the concern he knows about Audrey's nightmares.
Audrey Eleanor Lemington and Brent Andrey Lopez had known each other since they were still in diapers. They were even in agreement on marrying each other if they reached the right age by their parents as the heirs of each family. Their union is going to make their companies unbeatable business corporations, for both sides are one of the top not only in their own country but all over the world.
''Maybe you are just thinking too much about it. That's why it keeps coming back in your mind,'' Brent concluded.
''No. Brent, I have so much on my mind right now. The wedding, the issue of my clothing line business and our parents. There's literally no space in my brain for that.'' Audrey said frustratedly to what Brent concludes.
''Okay. Okay . Just calm yourself down. I'm sorry, I was just... Yeah, stupid as I am always.'' said Brent, giving up. He knows Audrey's limits.
''So, I heard you are finally going home, my bride.'' Brent changed the topic to lighten the mood.
'' Yes. But I will not live in the mansion with my parents, especially my grandfather,'' Audrey answered. She dislikes his grandfather being controlling of them all.
Her grandfather thinks he can use everyone around him like a tool and dispose of them like just nothing if you are of no use to him.
And if ever you oppose his plans, you have to prepare for going to hell, because he will not stop until you are in the very pit of it.
For him, everything is planned right before the time comes, like her parents union and her and Brent's engagement.
This is what he did to gain control over companies owned by other big businessmen. He will offer you a partnership or maybe make them his family members just so he can control them and stay on top in the business field.
And businessmen who rebel and do not follow him will fall because he is also the chairman of one of the top business organizations in the world. He almost controls everything. Brent's family is also under it; that's also why they have no choice but to get married to each other.
''Is that how you really hated the idea of us marrying each other?'' Brent said a little bit down.
''You know its not like that, Brent. There is more to it that I hate.'' Audrey clarified her point to Brent. It was his grandfather's obsession with controlling everything. Including their wedding day to the people who are invited to the venue, everything's set.
Audrey and Brent became official not just because of the engagement they have, but because Brent really confessed to her his feelings towards her, and she accepted it; there was no other man she knows who can understand her as Brent. She doesn't believe in love it doesn't make sense in their family's status; its just that it is the most practical decision she has to do .It is how she and her two other older siblings and cousins being taught. They grow up only wanting to be working for future businesses. It was all just business.
But Brent is different he was the kindest person she knew he let her see the world in another perception like . He even opened her eyes that she can build her own kingdom and be more than what her grand father can do.
''I love you , 'drey'' He said with sincerity. That she always don't have a response.
''Bye, Brent see you when I get home.'' She said and ended the call and get to sleep for it was only 2:54 am in the morning here in New York. In 6 hrs. time difference between Spain and New York it must be 8 am there in Spain now.
It is now 5 am in the morning and Audrey is already on her private plane to Barcelona to prepare for her and Brent's engagement party and also to plan the wedding next year which is 6 months from now.
Because if she won't do it on her own her grandfather will surely take over and she is positive that it will not be good. He started it with the venue and the people that were to be invited. The media also are all controlled by his grandfather her engagement is becoming like a reality show and she hate it very much.
Too much crowd and attention is making her feel suffocated. If she had a choice she doesn't even want to marry anyone. And if so she do it will all be in private.
Since Audrey didn't get enough sleep due to her nightmares, she decided to take a nap while on board.
A slim lady with blonde hair is trying to put on a corset she was looking at her reflection in the mirror and she can also see the beautiful brunette at her back.
She can feel the breath of the Maid that is helping hair with her corset while tying it tight behind her she can feel her maid's hot breath on her shoulder up to her neck. Every breath the maid exhale on the lady's back brings goosebumps on the said lady.
The lady's having a hard time breathing during the tying of the corset. The time that it was done the maid helped her wear the Victorian dress. She was now in front of fixing her dress and buttoning it, her maid's finger are slightly hitting her chest that brings tingling sensation to the lady's body.
The lady was looking on the maid's face the whole time she doesn't know what she really want to see in her maid's face.
'Ligaya.' She called.
'Hmmm' The maid answered her without even looking at her. But the way she hear Ligaya's voice sounded when Ligaya answered her made the lady feel something down there.
She has never felt this intense feeling with anyone even when she is wit her fiance.
'Seniorita?' The maid called her but she didn't answer.
'Theresa.' Finally! The magic word the lady thought. She doesn't like it whenever Ligaya call her Seniorita it felt wrong.
'What is it Ligaya? .' She answered with a smile.
'You are the one who called my name first, Theresa.' Ligaya reminded her with a questioning look.
'Oh, it slipped my mind forget it. I already forgot what I wanted that time' She answered laughing.
Ligaya laugh at her being so forgetful. But truth is. She didn't forgot, it was just lately she has this urge feeling towards Ligaya that she still can't figure out.
It started when Ligaya kissed her on the lips. No, not that kiss you're thinking. Well it is not actually a kiss Ligaya just had help her breath using the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation method. When she did a trick to her maid being drowned on the lake. But she was the one to be surprise when Ligaya pump her chest while counting her maid knows what she was doing. Where did she learn about it when she has no formal education like Theresa has taken her education back in the US? It was not even being taught to ordinary people specially a servant like Ligaya only males studying medicine and physicians was allowed to do so. Even Females like Theresa were just being homed school for it was only for men who has the privilege to go to school. And if she didn't go to US and her family's influence she would have not got in to Bradford Academy an exclusive school for women in Bradford, Massachusetts. But her deep thought was interrupted and her eyes widen when Ligaya put her mouth on her lips . Ligaya's lips was so soft and Ligaya's palms was in between Theresa's chest has brought Theresa to another level of warmth she has never felt before.
Ligaya notice Theressa's now widened eyes Ligaya pulled back her face but never left her position on top of Theresa and her palms on Theresa chest.
That made Theressa felt so weak under Ligaya's touch and her body was trembling as Ligaya being on top of her.
Theressa doesn't know what had gotten to her that but she closed her eyes like she was waiting for Ligaya to do something. Theressa can already feel Ligaya's breath near her lips the warmth of her breath put more anticipation for her to reach something.
'I-I' m S-so- sorry Seniorita I must have been too heavy for being on top of you for too long now. ' Says Ligaya who suddenly got up.
Theressa sat up and glared at Ligaya. Theressa doesn' t even know why she is mad with what Ligaya just did.
She got up from the ground her dress was dripping and leave Ligaya in that lake.
'Seniorita'
'Seniorita'
'Seniorita'
Theressa didn't look back at Ligaya and continued walking away from this person whose making her feel a lot of things that's she can't accept but can't stop.
A tear escaped Theresa's eyes frustratedly confused towards Ligaya. Thinking she was becoming a filthy faggot. No one will accept her this is a sin in god's eye and disgusting in peoples mind. Even Ligaya will hate her if she would know what Theresa was thinking towards her maid.
'Seniorita'
'Seniorta, Audrey.' A light tap on the shoulder woken Audrey up from that vivid dream feeling the heaviness of her chest again.
'What? " She ask her assistant who woke her up.
" Seniorita, we already have landed 10 mins ago her in Barcelona." The attendant informed her.
" Oh, I' m sorry overslept. " She said.
" Its okay, Ma'am I don't mind, but you have to attend a meeting at Hilton hotel in 20 minutes and we have atleast 10 mins to drive towards the place so, shall we? " Her assistant explained and gestured if she is now ready to go.
" Great. it was just in time. Thanks, Adeline. "Audrey smiled at her assistant Adeline walk towards the plane's stairs.
