Chapter 1
Holly's POV
"Miss Grandidge, if you can't pay the remaining balance of your father's debt to
us, we will forcibly get all your properties including your house and cars."
"But please Mr. Smith, I'm begging! I'll do anything just to pay you. Just don't
get our properties. Those are the memories my mother had left to me. Please, give
me enough time to pay you! Just don't get those properties! Please please please!"
"Okay, I'll give you 2 months to pay. If you can't, I'm sorry but I have to take
them all."
"Can you make it 3 months, Sir? 2 months is not enough for me to earn $100,000.
Please. I promise I'll give it you within 3 months!"
He hanged up.
I sat on the couch and looked around our house. I remember how my stupid father did
this to us. Because of him, my mother died and our company was slowly taken away
until it was really gone. Our company was the payment to the debt of my bullsh1it
father that is now hiding from the police. He is so much disappointing. I thought I
have a perfect Daddy, but I got the worst.
Huh! Now, my life is ruined! Before, I'm studying in a very high accredited school
in San Francisco. I get what I want. I have amazing friends and a sweet boyfriend.
I can even shop all day!
But when this misery came, all of it was gone just like a snap. Me and my mom can't
pay my tuition on my school so I decided to drop out and stop studying. My friends
hated me because they were thinking I'm like my father. My boyfriend dumped me and
said that now I'm worthless because I do not have money now. Yes, he just used me
because I have a lot of money before.
I can't imagine how my life will be now that I'm just a Pauper and not a Princess
anymore. I'm alone and no one's there to hug and comfort me. My mom is in heaven
now peacefully resting and my father left me with a BIG problem I can't handle
anymore.
Maybe after 3 months, if I couldn't pay it, I'll be a beggar in the streets or I'll
be dead. It's funny and scary to think but those are the possibilities. It's life.
It can't be changed. It is already planned by God and I don't have any choice but
to do it.
I wiped my tears and looked at my watch. It's already 7 pm and I need to fix myself
for bed.

Chapter 2
Holly's POV
Anyways, I'm now preparing my files 'coz Im going to look for a job in some
companies here. Im confident that I'd be taken coz I already took over our company
some times when they're not around. So the problem is, I'm just 17. My age is
soooooooo disturbing my journey to find a job.
I first went on the company of my classmate's Uncle. But, they didn't accept me.
Why? because of my background. And it's about my father. The hell. I forgot that
I'm a Grandidge. And having Grandidge as a surname is a curse. Holy crap!!
I've been walking and walking under the sun for more than 5 hours and I still can't
find any job. Crap! I'm tired to death!
I already begged for 10 CEOs but no one accepted me even being a secretary!
"David Grandidge I really hate yooooooouuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!! You suck!!!!!!!!!!"
I shouted but ooooppps??? I forgot that I'm in a public place.
"Poor girl. I thinks she's so young. That David Grandidge is sooo like a demon." -
girl 2
That's what i'm hearing around me. Most of them I think came from the rival of our
company. Ughh..
I just walked away from them.Even though i really hate my father, it still hurts me
because he's still my father. And I can't deny that I love him. Poor me. :'(((((
Again, I walked and searched for a job. Unfortunately, no one accepted me. Maybe,
i'll just accept the fact that i will die after 3 months. I'm already tired of
begging to people. My pride is now wasted. I can't see the real Holly in me. The
Holly that always laugh, the Holly that always fight if she's been troubled. Now,
it's the opposite.
*sniff sniff*
Great! Now im crying again. Is this all that I can do? To cry if I can't manage and
handle my problem? *huk* To cry because im in great loneliness and agony? *sniff*
To cry all over again? *sniff*
" You don't have to waste your tears sweetie. They're precious. I know that your
now helpless. But i thought the great Holly Crizzel fights? Here, take my hanky.
You can do it. Even though i just used you, I still care for my honey."
I wiped my tears in my eyes and saw a man standing in front of me. The man that
dumped me 7 months ago. The month I thought was forever.
"Oh that? We just bumped. Btw, you passed your house. Maybe you didn't notice it."
then he smiled.
"Ah. S-sorry."
"Nah, it's okay. Here take my hanky and go home. It's getting late. Bye."
Then he walked away and put his hands inside his pockets. Wait, he's also
whistling. Whistling my favorite melody. Green Sleeves :)
I think that Ryan is not really for me. Even though we lasted for a year and a
half. Maybe God just used him for me to understand life :)

Chapter 3
Holly's POV
Im in front of my house's door and I can't find the keys. God im so hungry! I
didn't eat any lunch.
"Got'cha!"
"Argh. It's so late Ms. Holly. Where have you been? I've been here for about 30
minutes. I already rove your house 3 times. What took you so long?"
"M-Mr. Smith. W-what are y-you d-doing here i-in my h-house? I-is there any p-
problem in o-our d-deal?"
"Nothing Ms. Holly. But I just want to give you something. Even though your father
did something stupid to me I'm still kind to you. I'm giving you a plane ticket to
Philippines. My daughter didn't use this because she doesn't want to go there. So
do you want this?"
A plane ticket going to Philippines? But it's so far! Even though my mom is living
there before, i haven't been there. I grew up here in San Franciso. It's so hard to
cope on their lifestyle and the weather also.
"Of course you can. Hahaha And aside from this ticket, I'll be giving you $1,000 as
a pocket money?"
"Why? Because I noticed that there's no company here that will accept you coz you
are the daughter of the great thief David Grandidge. Maybe in Philippines there'll
be a chance you can find a job to pay my $100,000........ Okay I'd be going. I
still have a date with my wife."
"Okay Sir."
Philippines? If I'll go there, what about my properties here? They'll be all left
here and if a had a chance to go back here, maybe house is now Mr. Smith's
property. No! I have to call him.
"Don't worry Ms. Holly. I'll be the one to take care of them. And besides, i will
not take that. I promise because im the one that is giving you ways to pay me! And
I have a good news for you. Your mother has a house there as big as your house
here. It has also appliances there. It wouldn't be that hard for you live."
"R-really?"
I can't believe it. My mom has also a mansion there? Well im not boasting but our
house here is very big. It has 2 floors. A big sala and kitchen. 2 guest rooms in
the 1st floor and 6 rooms in the 2nd floor not including my room and the Master's
bedroom. 2 Comfor rooms. A study room and movie room in the first floor and my
favorite room, Music room. All the intruments are complete but i have sold some of
them to add for the payment. We have 1 remaining car. The other 3 were sold and
paid the money to Mr. Smith.
"Yes, what you have here is what you have there. But I think it's bigger. So wanna
get the ticket?"
"Okay."
After I said that, i went to the kitchen and look for some foods in the pantry.
"Ugh, No food."
0_________________0
My fridge is full of food! From vegetables to fruits to meat and drinks! Even some
wine!
I immediately dialled Mr. Smith's number. And guess what, he said he was so proud
of me because Im doing my best to pay him. And I realized something, he's not that
bad at all. :')

"Final call for all the passengers for flight #312 Manila, Philippines. Please
proceed to the boarding area. Again, please proceed to the boarding area."
"Mr. Smith! I thank you so much! This is a lot! I.... I mean I have to pay you 5
million and you're still helping me. This is too much. Thank you is not enough."
"Hahaha, let's just say that im helping you to pay me and a reward because you've
been a nice daughter. So, you better go now bye."
"Yes mam?"
"What is it mam?"
"Of course mam. There are lots beautiful places there and the people are awesome.
The foods are unique and so great."
"Okay mam."
Hmm.. Im excited and.............. nervous? Yeah nervous..
"Taga-lowg?"
"Yes mam."
"Well, Good morning is Magandang Umaga. Good Day is Magandang araw. Nice to meet

"Welcome mam."
Then she walked on the pilot's room.
Xavier's POV
Hello?
Ah ako nga pala si Xavier Rosales. Ang dakilang gwapo ng Pilipinas. Hahahaha. Pero
totoo. :) 18 years old na ako at nag aaral sa Las Salle. Joke lang! Di kami ganun
kayaman no. Average lang ba! Sa public high school ako ngayon nag aaral sa Lipa,
Batangas.Bakit high school? Kasi private ako nung elementary at may grade 8 sa
kanila. Sucks!
Anyway, bago malayo ang usapan eh nandito ako ngayon sa airport. Bakit? kasi wala
ako jan. Joke. Susunduin ko yung kapatid ko na galing sa Korea dahil naka leave
siya hanggang pasko.
"Ate! Kadadating mo pa lang hyper ka na agad ah! Tsaka kung makagpasabi ka naman ng
ang laki laki mo na eh 1 taon ka lang naman dun sa Korea tapos bumalik ka na agad.
Sira! Akin na nga yang push cart na yan! Uwi na tayo!"
"Hay, wait lang tigil muna tayo. May ibibigay ako sayo."
Tapos tumigil kami malapit dun sa main door. Ang tagal namang maghanap ni Ate oh.
Mamaya matrafic pa kami sa CALABARZON niyan. Naku!!!! Kainip pa naman at sobrang
init pa.
"Oo naman no---- Aray!!! Anuba?! Tumingin ka nga sa dinadaanan mo! Lintek oh!
Muntik ng malaglag yung camera ko!"
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I'm just searching for the main door.
I'm really really sorry. I swear I didn't mean it."
Napatulala ako dun ah. Shit ang gandang amerikana nito! Pasalamat ka maganda ka
kung hindi naku!!!!! May banat ka sakin.
"Opo boss!"
At ayun, nakasakay na kami sa kotse namin. Syempre ako driver. Tutal 18 na naman
ako eh.
"Hay, gutom na ako. Tigil muna tayo sa Jollibee. Bili ako food."
Tagal naman ni Ate oh. Lumabas din ako ng kotse at medyo nagpahangin din. Di naman
masyado mainit eh.
Paglingon ko dun sa bandang corner ng parking. May nahagip ang mata ko na di kanais
nais na tanawin. Ang pinaka demonyitang babae sa lahat ng demonyita.
Si Chezska Anne Sanchez. Ang ex ko din dati nung kasing edad ko siya ngayon. Nung
16 pa ako. Napaka-sama ng ugali niyan. Sinisigurado ko, hinding hindi mo siya
gugustuhing maging kaibigan kahit kayong dalawa na lang ang natitira sa mundo.

Chapter 6
Holly's POV
"Taxi!"
Thank God there's a taxi that passed.
"Yes mam?"
"Mam! It's par prom hir! You'll travel for 2 hours just to arrive there and you'll
take a bus to go there. A taxi isn't the vehicle for going there."
"What? A bus? But I don't know how and where is that 'BUS' you're talking."
Okay, so we travelled for I think 30 minutes and I paid the taxi driver 150 pesos.
Then the taxi driver asked someone to accompany me there. She's a girl maybe in the
mid 30's.
The girl with me paid the man. I think he's the conductor.
I get my wallet and paid him. Wanna know why I know the money values? The taxi
driver taught me. He also taught me some filipino words like salamat.. :)))
"Here."
"Salamat."
"What? I don't understand you! Please. I swear I don't know. Look, if your asking
me if I can speak tagalog, I really really don't know how to. The taxi driver just
taught me that word. I promise."
I have a hint that she's talking about tagalog because I heard her say it a while
ago. So am I right?
Then we laugh. She's so funny. Actually, my whole trip isn't boring because we're
laughing everytime. She tells funny things about her ex-boyfriend. Am Im telling
you that those stories we're so funny!! Hahahaha We can't help but to laugh and
laugh.
Then finally..
I took my luggage and went outside the bus. Ugh, I didn't expect that this is
soooooooooo damn hot in here. And to tell that is already 12 noon.
"Well, Holly. Where do you live here? This place is called Tambo, Lipa City."
"Yes. Hahahaha."
I handed her the paper wherein the address is written there. Mr. Smith gave that to
me before I left San Francisco.
"Oh. You live.........."
"?????"
"....far from my house. I live in Mataas na Kahoy. And your place is near. Emerald
Village is just near here. Maybe 10 minutes ride. And you didn't tell me that your
rich! Why did you ride in a cheap bus? Everyone who lives in that village is so
rich!!"
"Ugh actually. I don't have any idea on what's going on here. First of all, This
is the first time I went here. Second, someone just encouraged me to go here coz I
have a very big problem to solve. Lastly, I don't know."
"Oh! I know that one! When my mom is still alive, she's showing some pictures about
Philippines. And I remember that jeepney. It's a public vehicle that anyone ride."
"Let's go!"
"Para po!"
Then the jeepney stopped. What the---???
"Okay. Thank you so much Mrs. Rosales. Thanks a lot for your help. I promise that
someday, I'll treat you."
"Sure!"
Then the jeepney left. I'm so glad that there are Filipinos who are still kind like
what my mothere told me.
I entered the gate of the village. Woah, Mr. Smith is right. All the house here are
as big as our house in San Francisco.
"Ay! Amerikana pala to! Mam, you need to leave because you don't have access here!"
"No! Let me in! Let me talk to your manager there! My mom has a house here!"
"No! I need to talk to someone! Your manager! Your boss! Or the owner of the
village!"
"Aish! If your mother has a house der. What's her name? Ang kuliiiiiiiiittttttttttt
kulit nyo!"
"What ? Btw, she is Catherine Torres."
Then the guard walked away and called someone on the telephone. 10 minutes had
passed and they're still talking. Hello, don't you know that it's hot in here? Ugh!
I don't wanna have some rashes!
"Mam, are you sure you are Ms. Catherine Torres' daughter?"
"Okay okay. You can come in. There is a housekeeper in your house."
"It's on the Lily street mam. Your house color is White and royal blue."
"Thanks."
Wooo! Thank God! I searched for Lily street and I didn't found it. Where the hell
is that street? It's so hot here! Maybe after 15 more minutes, I already found it.
"Woo! Found'ya!"

Xavier's POV
"Baby ko, bili ka naman ng softdrinks sa grocery oh! Please??? *puppy eyes*"
"Hay ate... Effective pa rin talaga sakin yang puppy eyes o kahit kelan! Tsk! Sige

"Thank you!!!"
Lumabas na ako ng bahay at bibili nga ng softdrinks niya. Potek, ang layo pa naman

grocery.
"Ay l1ntek!"
Nalaglag kasi yung pera. Pag angat ko ng ulo ko.
"..................Roya-----ouch! My head!"
Tek! Nag english pa eh! Hoy mas masakit yung ulo ko!
Hinimas himas ko yung ulo ko pero nakayuko pa rin ako kasi Medyo nakyuko pa ako

Tinignan ko siya kasi kung maka ouch to wagas! Eh mas masakit nga yung ulo ko eh!
Pero.... 0____________0
Yung amerikana sa airport kanina! Yung maganda na nakabunggo din sakin.
"You?!/Ikaw?!"
Sabay naming sinabi.
"I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here? I live in this
village!"
"Yea?"
"Well, do you know the house with Peach and royal blue paint?"
"A-ah. O-okay."
Naglakad na kami papunta dun sa 'bahay' niya. Hindi ko alam pero anak siya nung
kapitbahay namin dati? Si Tita Cathy?
"Here we are."
Humarap kami dun sa bahay niya. Actually, yung bahay nila ang pangalawa sa
pinakamalaki dito sa Village. Sobrang nagsikap si Tita Cathy para lang dito. Hindi
ko na matandaan yung iba kasi bata pa ako nun eh.
"Thanks for coming with me and showing my house."
"Okay! See'ya!"
Pero bago pa ako makalabas ng gate, nakita ko naman ang di kanais nais na view. Si
Cheszka na naman.
Hahakbang na sana ako pero....what the???? Anong ginagawa niya dito sa village?!
Wag niyong sabihin na dito ya titira?! Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Hindiiii

Chapter 8
Holly's POV
Okay! This is the house. Thanks for the guy i-dont-know-who who showed me my house.
I looked at the house. Yeah it's big and I think it's bigger than our house in San
Francisco.
But I noticed that some lights are..........................ON ??? Why? Oh! The
guard said that there's a keeper.
I entered the house and I found people in the sala. They are all looking at me with
widened ayes again. 0______0 <----- Like this.
"He-llo?"
I said just to break the silence that is been here for almost 5 minutes.
"Sino ka?"
"Bakit ka nandito?"
"Saan ka galing?"
"Amerikana ka ba?"
"Wait! Everyone stop! I don't understand you. First of all you need to know, I am a
pure american girl and I don't speak nor understand tagalog. So please?."
"Aaahhhh."
They all said in chorus.
"Okay okay. I'm Holly Crizzel Grandidge. My mother own's this house that's why Im
here.I came frim San Francisco."
"What? Your mother owns this house? So your mother is Catherine Torres?
"Insan!!!!!!!!!!"
They all said again in chorus.
"What? Insan?"
"What's that?"
"Okay, so since you already know me and basically, we're all realatives. So it's
your time to introduce yourselves."
"Hai! Mayushii at your service!" She's one of the girls who hugged me.
"I'm Michiee!" She's also one of the girls who hugged me.
"Aahh, so can I ask you something? Are you all japanese? You all look like anime
characters!"
"Hai!!!! (yes!!!!)"
( ? > ?)
"What again?"
"Hahahahaha."
"?????????????????" - me
"Mr. Smith is right, it's bigger than our house in San Francisco."
"Really? Well your mother really worked hard for this. She sacrificed everything
for you. Because she said, this house belongs to you, Holly."
Tita Isabella said.
"I will."
Then I smiled. Hmm, it would be great I know!
We ate sponge cake.. It's very yummy! Tita Isabella is good at baking! I wanna
learn how to bake so that if i'll have a husband or a boyfriend, i can make
pastries and cakes for them.
"Holly, let's go upstairs to your room na. We'll arrange your clothes and put them
in the closet. And I'll teach you some tagalog words so that it wouldn't be hard
for you to understand us."
"Okay. So your room has a piano, a walk in closet and a big bathroom with sauna.
Isn't it good? Your mom used to use this room before because she doesn't want to
sleep on her room and besides, she wants to stay with you here."
"Wow, did i really slept here when i was young? I can't remember anything."
"Is that so? But you lived here until you're 5 years old."
"Woah! Until 5 years old? I really can't remember! I wish.........I wish I can
remember...."
"Here."
"Ooookay!!! "

Napatigil ako sa pagtawa at napatingin kay ate, este pinakita sa kanya ang ever

"Hay nako, Xavier anak, hayaan mo na yang ate mo at sigurado akong pagbabalik na

"Hay.. Opo. Pero ma, wag kayo maniniwala kay ate ah? Hindi totoo yun!"
Tinitigan lang ako ni mama for 2 minutes ata. Tapos nginitian niya lang ako at

Chapter 10
Holly's POV
Hey! I'll fastforward na the story ah? There's nothing important naman eh. This
week is just normal. Unless, you pansin something.. ^_____^v
(a/n: Actually, tell them na. It's not like the story is suspense eh.)
Okay, as you wish our pretty author.
Yey!! Tita Isabella thought me to speak and intindi tagalog. And dahil i'm a fast
learner, marami ako natutunan..
Alam niyo, Touya is my type. He's silent and mysterious, a genius, cool, cute siya
and
