SaVerde Mansion

The strong wind touched my face as I felt the tingling emotion building up inside me. How long will I wait?

Enemy. Jealousy. Deception.

How I hate those words.

The world is filled with deadly deception, its so hard to unwind. Hard to know the truth from false accusations. After all, it is deception.

"Lady, his waiting"

As if on cue I immediately went back inside my room and got my bag.

Tonight, I'll be free.

I'll be together with my achilles heel.

"Are you sure Lady?You will leave?" I answered my nanny with a nod. I am more than sure with this decision. I want freedom, I want his love.

Tonight I will be leaving with Antonio. My sweet heart. He loves me and I love him. My parents doesn't like him for he is not a family of rich earnings. He is just merely a farmer on our huge field.

Why can't people accept true love? Because of society status?Money?They think money can help them rise? Maybe yes, but we all know that we can't have everything through money.

Money is not the most powerful thing in this world, Love and Unity is. Or atleast that is what I believe in.

I live in a family that only wants the finest for its members. Money is all that matters in the SaVerde's household. I cannot even call my house my home anymore.

But I love him, no matter who or what he is, I do. I am more than sure that he is my endgame.

"Take care Lady. I wish you all the best" I kissed my Nanny for the last time before bidding goodbye.

"Though you live in peace, Nanny Gloria. Forgive me, take care of my family"

I rushed down with a quiet pace as I reached the Mansions door. My bag was not heavy so I did not have any trouble in caring it.

I'm a woman with beauty and strength. That's what I believe.

A small creak was made as I opened the door. I don't know how Nanny managed to make the guards flee from their ground but I'm thankful for it.

I quickly ran to the gates as I saw my beloved Man talking to his friend Pablo. I plan to surprise him, but what he said are enough to shut me down from my infinite delusions.

"How are you so sure Antonio?Do you think the young SaVerde will really go with you?"

"Of course I am. She loves me right?After all, she would only think that she will flee with me, not kidnap for ransom" the love of my life laughed in greediness as he thought of his evil plans.

He deceived me.

I was to drowned by my so called love for him that I didn't notice him already pushing me towards the edge of the cliff he built.

He was blinded by money, like all humans. Money as their weakness.

I felt my knees wobble as I slowyly walked away from him. To the person I thought I'll be with forever.

He used me. But, I wouldn't allow him to use me more.

With a heavy heart I ran not towards the gate but towards the hidden part of the mansion.

The moon shone brightly as I meet my eyes towards the vines that crept on the old walls of our mansion. Mossy but aesthetic, I love it.

And without any hesitation, I sat on one of the stone benches and cried all the tribulation I felt the moment I heard the painful words of my beloved.

I been caught in the net by the words I hate the most. I have been deceived, I was deceived by my lover. Or is he truely my lover?More like I was deceived by my user.

Trust. Trust is something you can give a person easily. Let us say that, that person is a book. For that person has no dents and in your eyes they are pure so you trust them.

But when, slowy in the years, they are hit accidently by things that can fold its pages, or soil its cover. The cover of greediness has been exposed.

They were so lighten up by the thought of money and power. They will deceive you, and run away after getting what they want.

Fools.

Blinded by thing that are not worthy of keeping.

I swept my tears using the handkerchief I got from my bag and stood up. I'm done crying for him.

As I thought of leaving the place, I felt a presence from my back. This place is hidden and covered with vines. My safe haven. Who could discover this place?

I looked back in saw a man I didn't expect I would see.

Wearing a tuxedo of the color black. Accompanied by golden linings and his formal composture.

The snake in his finest form.

The son of my family's nemesis.

"What are you doing here La'Vermundo?"

He showed me his annoying smile that every lady of this town will love. Except for me though.

"Nice meeting you, Lady SaVerde"
