Rise (Flashback P. I)

"I must stay conscious

Through the madness and chaos

So I call on my angels

They say"

- Rise lyrics by Katy Perry

ELLE

"Everything is settled, Ms. Elle." I heard my PA said.. I picked my phone and dialed someone's number..

"Hello?" Elisa said. Yes, Elisa Lyre Valderama.

"Any updates about the culprit?" I asked her.

"He's here.." That makes me grin.. Everything goes smooth according to the plan.. "Start the music." I commanded and then ended up the call.

With that, I heard the emcee's voice..

While waiting to be called on the stage, I once again stared at my reflection in the mirror.

Heavy make up, gone so sexy, and the way I dressed, it's completely different from what I was back then..

Suddenly, an image reflected in the mirror.. An image of a woman who's drowning.. She's very hopeless... helpless.. She seeks for some help.. She asks her husband to save her, their baby.. But that jerk didn't bother to help them..

The next thing she knew, an enormous wave fell on her making her drowned..

She closed her eyes and sighed.. Then opened her eyes with full of fury.. She gripped her fist and tears fell on her eyes.. Tears of so much anger and seeking for revenge..

I heard my name being called by the emcee.. It's now my cue to walk in the stage.

I am wearing a very daring clothes.. Only thin sh*ts covering my body and deadly heels too.

She walked in as if she owns the stage.. But she doesn't want everybody's attention. She only wants one..

And she didn't fail.. She got their attention --- His attention..

'You might be wondering ah? How the hell did I ended up like this, right?! You made me do these things.. You made me feel these things, you bastard!' I said to my mind.. But I tried to hide my anger as much as possible..

I don't want to make a scene here.. That's so cheap and only losers do that..

Finally, we had our face off.. I saw how triggered Ally was.. Who might not be? Someone tried to kill you by letting you get drown in the middle of the sea but here you are, alive..

"Yes lalo na't hindi ko pa nakakalimutan yung ginawa mo saakin sa laot! Tandaan mo to, Elle. Hindi pa tayo tapos!" She's mad while saying that to me.. Hypocrite! I should be the one feeling that way not her!

"Oh? You're mad already? I didn't even started yet.. Chill.." I calmly said to her trying to hold myself because I really want to slap this bitch's face..

"YOU --!!" But Kyle stopped Ally.. "What?!" She asked Kyle sounding irritated.. They're really funny.. Makes me want to laugh hard.. "Don't create a scene here." I heard Kyle mumbled.. I tried to fake a smile in front of them..

"Anyways, it's nice to see you again, DEAR HUSBAND.." I seductively said to Kyle.. I saw him held Ally's hand stopping her to maybe pull my hair? Psh.. Ill-mannered sl*t.

"Let's go.." Ally said to Kyle.. But I left something.. Enough for them to hear this..

"Can't wait to work with you, Dear Husband."

I teasingly said.. I saw Kyle sniffed. That only means, I got him affected by those words..

I shook my head..

"Really, Kyle? You didn't changed at all.." I whispered and got some wine..

"Are you happy now?" Someone said.. I turned around only to see who's coming.. I suddenly smiled at this person and hugged him..

"I missed you" I said.. I heard him laugh.. "Really? Wow.." He unbelievably said..

"I'm not joking around.. I mean it.." I replied.. "Yeah, you really do miss me ah? So, how's your game going?" I faced him while grinning..

"The wildest game is about to happen.. and I can't wait to see who'll make it till the end." I added.
