The Grand Mistress

Gabriella walked like all the breath she had was slowly evaporating from her heart. She had already left the room that the elders asked her to come and walking herself out had become a bit heavier than her coming in. The piece of information she heard about her mother hurt her in so many ways although it wasn't really as scandalous as what Angelisa and Erwan did but the elders were treating it as it was. If not, then they could have condemned Angelisa and Erwans actions already instead of pushing her to the edge. Look what they did to her  mother, they had banned her memory simply because she had chosen a life out of the nunnery without hurting anyone unlike Angelisa who had been celebrated and greatly favored for cheating on her own sister.

"Gabbie," She felt some warm hands grab her and when she turned to who it was, the tears that were refusing to come out made its way to her eyes. It was Simione and Lucy was there standing beside her, looking at her with complicated emotions. 

"Sisi, Lucy," The view of them both was comforting. She wasn't an ounce of surprise when they suddenly showed up because they were all worried of her prior to this day and so they must have secretly followed her.

"Don't cry anymore, they weren't worth your tears," Simione said and immediately wrapped her arms around Gabriella. When they both saw her leaving the restaurant, she looked like a real mess. For minutes she was walking with no direction and just hugged herself and they both followed her behind her back, giving her time to be with herself. However, Simione thought it was enough and so she went and made their presence known.

"These tears aren't for them," Gabriella flushed a bitter smile. What she said was true as she wasn't all then hurting because of Angelisa and Erwan, nor because it seemed like the whole Monteria household was bullying her. It was because for the first time in her life, she had heard about her mother and the Monterias managed to put a dirt on her memory even before she could know her better. She wondered then how her mother's life was living as a Monteria madam. Did the elders bully her like the one they were doing with her now?

"These are for my mother," She added and smiled wider at the thought of it. "Finally after twenty eight long years, I had the courage to ask and luckily I got an answer,"

"Let me guess, what they told you was all nothing but her bad deeds," It was Lucy who answered this time. Both Lucy and Simione knew that the Monterias never once mentioned to Gabriella who her mother was, making them all assume a hundred percent that they must have hated her mother. If not, then why are all keeping it away from Gabriella to the fact that they didn't even show her any grave where she can mourn on to.

"What else would I expect?" Gabriella answered, tears still flowed from her eyes endlessly that Simione took out her own handkerchief and wiped it all from her.  "They were the worst and them talking about her earlier made me feel how unwanted I am,"

"Gabbie you are not," Simione pushed the idea away. "You know very well that you aren't. You know your father loves you, your mother Lilith too and Evangelina. Weren't they one of the reasons why you didn't want to go back to the nunnery? You once told us you don't want to miss them. You were then happy,"

What Simione said was true. Although these days Gabriella felt like she was just a pushover, her immediate family had all been nice to her and so were all the other Monteria's she knew. Even though she grew up in the nunnery before, she never had any bad memories of her father, all of them were good and worthy to be cherished. Even when he remarried and had other children, he never had made her feel less than she ever was. In fact he had always spoiled her and this was primarily the reason why Gabriella never thought of pursuing anything in her life, because she was well sheltered and well loved at home to the point that she had to think of nothing but just looked forward to becoming Erwan's wife.

It was only lately that things have gone real bad and that her father stopped talking to her. Maybe he was mad because she ran away from home or maybe through time, he had gone to love his twins—Angelisa and Evangelina more than her and perhaps she didn't notice that.

"You know what, fuck this night! Let's get out of this place and go somewhere fun," Lucy cut off all the drama and looked at Simione giving her a cue. Gabriella was pretty bad tonight, they need to have some release.

***

Just an hour after, the tres marias were already in a private VIP lounge helping themselves with some liquor. At the moment, they had no other remedy to Gabriella's predicament but just to let her drink it all through the night. Lucy had observed that since the Monteria heiress started drinking her emotions worked well in liquors and this was one of the reasons why she had  miraculously felt okay prior to her stepmother's visit.

"Did you know my mum was a nun? Fuck I never once in my whole life imagined she was one!" Gabriella repeated it for the nth time that night. She was already drunk and had gone talkative about everything. 

"I guess this was the reason why they wanted me to be a nun too as a payment for what….what did they call that?...hmmmm...ah! Yes!....a payment for her disservice to the Lord," She went on, holding to another glass. Lucy and Simione were just sitting on each side still conscious and weren't as drunk as her. 

When they reached that bar and ordered some drinks, Gabriella took the whole bottle down in just a minute and Simione and Lucy could do nothing but just allow her. The Monteria heiress had gone berserk and put all her heart out by drinking all that was served at their table. After a few hours, Lucy and Simione only managed to drink five percent of all the liquors they ordered while Gabriella finished the rest and wasn't finished until then.

"Ah but they didn't know that...I cannot be a nun anymore. No! No! No! I would be doing another disservice if I entered the nunnery. Only virgins go there don't they? I'm not sure but I think all the Sta. Catalina sister's were virgins and I am no….so… I guess I'm disqualified?"

Hearing it, both Simione and Lucy raised a brow and looked at each other. In the end they both smiled thinking that Gabriella was already saying nonsense things.

"You are not a virgin anymore?" Simione tried to talk to the drunk heiress, wondering how her senselessness can go. "Really?"

"Yes I am not, didn't you know? Didn't I told you I fuck you ultimate crush?"

"Who?" Simione was intrigued.

"El Tigre! Damn you! You didn't know! Oh fuck bitch he's so fucking hot!" She blabbered like a mad woman. "He's so hard and gorgeous…...hmmm...yummy el tigre...xhxhxhxh"

"You're drunk," Lucy laughed at it. "El Tigre you're ass! If you are not drunk right now! I'm really going to smack you!"

"Just let her be Lucy," Simione too, laughed at it. This was the first time they heard Gabbie mentioning another man's name when she's drank. The previous week she had kept blabbering Erwan's name, now she was obsessing with El Tigre. "She must have been influenced by us already. Oh God El Tigre, the mention of his name just soothes my ears,"

"Me too. Make me wanna cum,"

"Lucy!" Simione threw a purse on her scandalous words. "Mind your words!"

"Gabriella isn't minding her words, why would I?" Lucy retorted and grabbed a bottle from Gabriella's hand to pour her cup some of it. "Gabbie you don't say anything like that specially in public,"

"Why? It's the truth!" She insisted and reached for the bottle that Lucy took from her. 

"It's because not all fans are patient like Sisis and I. If they hear you saying that you fuck El Tigre, they'll kill you before the night ends," Lucy warned her although she herself knew, the heiress would probably not remember any of the things she said tomorrow.

"They can just kill me all they want, but I did fuck you El Tigre," She went on with her claims that only made Lucy shook her head mercilessly.

"You've gone crazy," The singer gave up chiding her.

"Just let her be," Simone dismissed Lucy's reprimands and turned to play around with the drunk Gabriella for more amusement. "So since you fuck El Tigre, mind telling us where?"

"In Mondrew City when you went drinking one night. He took me diving but instead diving into  the sea, I was the one he had been diving on the whole afternoon….hahahhahah" She narrated confidently that both Simione and Lucy paused for a minute.

They both look at each other weirdly, but like earlier, they took it all as a joke and laughed at her words real hard.
