LEV PETROV (Wild Men Series #3) Book 1
BREE
LEV. I thought it stands for something simple until I heard his deep soulful voice.
A single hello was all it take for him to have my undivided attention. Akala ko hulog siya ng langit. Isang anghel na magsasalba sa akin.
I was all wrong.
He's a fallen angel with dark blue eyes and cold leather-covered hands. A man mantled with power and veiled with sin.
We're opposites.
I'm weird and a social butterfly. He's terrifying and brooding. A lone wolf.
I love pinks and swirls. He prefers pointed knives and black guns.
Darkness seems to be his fave companion and death his pastime. I, on the other hand, will always choose life.
He told me to stay away from him. Guess, you know by now, that I did the exact opposite, right?
I stayed 'cause I want him so bad, it hurts.
I, Bree De Veyra, daughter of one of the families of The Council, lay my life to the head of the Foedus Corp– Lev Petrov.
My father's sworn enemy. The master manipulator and my protector.
Or my destroyer?
LEV
Three years ago, one phone call, two minutes. I swore I will kill her.
Four weeks before her 16th birthday, I did the unthinkable. I destroyed her trust and left her. Broken and beyond repair.
Twenty-four hours before her 18th birthday, nagbalik ako para bawiin s'ya.
Twelve hours after I abduct her, we exchange I dos. Eight seconds after our first kiss, I know I will protect her with my gun and with my life.
I, Lev Petrov, Heir to a fallen empire, vows to avenge Bree from all of the people that wronged her. It will be my life's mission until the last drop of my sinful blood...I will never let them rest in peace.

Chapter: Chapter 44 Part 2BREEKAHIT saan ko ibaling ang paningin kadiliman ang nakikita ko. The starless sky. The pitch black sea and my bleak future.My world was now wrapped with thick black clouds. An abyss and endless darkness I wouldn't be able to escape cause I am part of it.They made me part of it.I'm filthy and destroyed.They did this to me.And I'm getting back the rein now. I will dictate how this will end.At isa lang ang nakikita kong paraan. Death.Walang kasing pait ang ngiting sumilay sa labi ko. Ano pang silbi ng buhay ko matapos ang lahat ng nangyari sa 'kin? Wala na.I have nothing.No future. No Lev and no dreams. I'm just a shell, walking aimlessly. Numb. I'm as good as dead anyway.Itinaas ko ang mga braso't hinayaan ang malakas na hangin at dagat na tangayin ang buhok ko't sirang gown.Tumingala ako't mapait na napangiti nang tumama sa mukha ko ang mahinang patak ng ulan."Is this your mercy? Are you mocking me, Lord? Or are you just l-lonely–for me!" Sigaw ko sa tahimik na gabi. Tangin

Chapter: Chapter 44 Part 1BREEWE collect scars. Battle scars. Sa dami ng nakolekta ko I think I can make a mosaic from it. It's made up of different mistakes but dominated by two colors– black and white. Never gray. Specifically not red. But after tonight, I know that it's a lie. I was just too blind to see the crimson dripping from every corner of the canvas that is my life.Buong buhay ko, pinaniwala ko ang sariling hindi ako kailanman maabot ng kasalan ng pamilya ko. That me being the only girl in the family and my zero knowledge with their dealings made me somehow an innocent onlooker. There's a rule to every exemption, right? Akala ko ako 'yon. Nakalimutan kong hindi nga pala iyon applicable sa mundo namin.Kasalanan ng ama, kasalanan ng lahat. That's how our world operates.Unlucky for me, I'm the one reaping the seeds of their sins. Ang hirap lang dahil sobrang laki ng sinigil sa akin. Buhay, pangarap at puso ko. Sinong dapat kong sisihin ngayon?Ang ama dahil sa kapalaulaang ginawa niya? Ang sarili ko

Chapter: Chapter 43 Part 2BREE"That's the whole fucking plan, Bree. Hurt the rest of your family. Get even. Your hell, my heaven, right? Pero mapagbiro ang putang inang tadhana. Dumating ka. You are the very definition of fucking off-limits! Pero dahil gago ako, baliw, I ignored it. I dive head-on, Bree. Into you. Fuck consequences. But this– I don't sign up for this." Bawat bitaw n'ya ng mga salita'y puno ng poot at pait.I can't stand it anymore. Tuluyan na akong humagulgol. I am helpless and at his mercy. My heart broke not just for me but for him also. I'm shaking like a leaf when I looked at him."I c-can explain. W-wala akong alam sa plano ng papa ko. I swear. Maniwala ka. . . Please." Lumuluhang samo ko. Lihim akong nagdarasal na sana'y hindi pa huli ang lahat.Na sana, abot-kamay ko pa rin ang Lev na minahal at hinayaan akong haplusin siya't mahalin.Dumaan ang confusion sa mga mata ni Lev pero dagli ring nawala iyon. It's back to its icy state."Stop lying to me. Pare-pareho lang kayo. Ikaw. Ang mga

Mabilis ang tahip ng dibdib ko sa pinaghalong adrenaline at inis.He's in his office. Maybe, in his basement. August will hand you the RFID. You don't hear it from me. Good luck.- T.DMensahe 'yon mula kay Trace. So Lev's in his lair, hiding from me. Why?You know why.Natigilan ako. Mukhang nag-materialize na ang kinatatakutan ko. Nalaman na ni Lev ang pangdo-double cross sa kanya ng ama ko. Knowing him, he'll think this as betrayal on my part."No."Nanginig ang kalamnan ko. Habol ang hiningang itinaas ko ang kamay upang parahin ang taxi. I ignored Theo and Indi, who were hot on my wake. Nilunod ng sumarang pinto ng taxi ang nag-aalalang boses ng dalawa. I need to see him and explain my side. He'll listen to me. Kesehodang manikluhod ako sa harapan niya, gagawin ko. Habang nasa biyahe, ilang senaryo na ang naglalaro sa utak ko. My knees bo

Chapter: Chapter 42BREELIVING is so freaking expensive. Life will give you a bill so long, you'll end up broke. Literally and figuratively. I embody it–the brokenness, as I stand in front of our campus gate waiting for Lev, pacing back and forth.Seems that I paid handsomely just for a glimpse of happiness pero mukhang galit at pagkawasak ng puso ang maiuuwi ko?Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses akong nagparoo't parito. Rinig ko na nga ang mga pikon na buntong-hininga ng mga guwardiya ng school namin, pero wala akong pake. I'm seething with anger as I searched the crowded parking lot. Once na maispatan ko ang kotse ng animal, lalaslasin ko talaga ang gulong n'ya.The nerve! Saan ka nakakakita ng date na nauna pa sa venue ang babae?"How dare him stood me up! Usapan alas-7 ng gabi, mag a-alas otso na. Akala ba niya bukas ang grad ball? Hayup ka, Lev. Sasakalin kita." Naiiyak na bulong ko habang sa back ground ay rinig ko ang malakas na tunog ng sound system at ang boses ng emcee, calling the student

Chapter: Chapter 41 Part 2LEV"Kinalawang ka na ba? Asan ang El Diablo na pinagyayabang nila? Gago. Makikipagtitigan ka lang ba sa 'kin?"I spit. When I speak, the calmness in my tone betrays the turmoil I feel."I'm just being generous. Kapag tinapos kita ngayon, uuwi na ang mga tao. Sayang naman ang binayad nila sa ticket."Namula ang mukha nito."Hambog!" Sabay sugod sa akin. Ngunit bago tumama ang sipa niya sa katawan ko, nakailag na ako.I jump, turn and gave him a sidekick that landed on his left jaw. Sumuray ang gago habang nagwawala na sa gilid ang mga kaibigan ko."Tang'na, Gurang. Ayusin mo. Ipinusta ko na 'yong mansion ko sa isla. Huwag kang papatalo, kungdi papakain kita sa muning ko."Umiling ako kay Trace. Balak ko sanang sagutin na kita ko na ang ngala-ngala niya nang matigilan ako.James was standing a few meters from Logan. Nilukob ako ng lamig sa klase ng tingin na ibinigay nito. I gulped and for a fleeting second, I was rendered immobile.My ears buzz with the grating sound of the crowd and

Chapter: Chapter 25GEN’S POVNATIGILAN ako. My eyes landed on the small green box placed on top of my office table. Is that for me?Kanina pa kami naghiwalay ni Donna, dumiretso na ito sa opisina ng mga ito sa second floor habang ako’y nagmamadaling umakyat. Medyo napasarap kasi ang kwentuhan namin, huli na nang mamalayan kong malapit ng matapos ang one hour lunch break namin.Bahagya pa akong hinihingal nang lapitan ang malaking office table, I grabbed the note. Inikot-ikot ko iyon at lalong kumunot ang noo ko nang makitang pangalan ko ang nakasulat sa likod niyon. Mabilis kong binuksan ang sobre para lang matigilan.To Gen,Hope you like some sweets.From: KenLaglag ang balikat na tinupi ko iyon. Okay, medyo disappointed ako. Why? Simply because in my hearts of heart, umaasa akong galing sa lalakeng malamang sa mga oras na

Chapter: Chapter 24GEN'S POV"YOW!"My fingers automatically stopped from typing on my iPad's keyboard when I heard Donna's voice. Nag angat ako ng tingin at nakita itong umupo ng pa de-kwatro sa silyang nasa harapan ko."Uhm?"Maikling sagot ko at ibinalik ang atensyon sa ginagawa."It's 11:50 already. Anong uhm ka dyan?Lunch na tayo.You owe me tons of explanation.""Oh,shocks. Sige wait lang patapos na 'ko dito. Are you starving? Or kaya pa naman?"Natatarantang inayos ko ang mga papeles sa harapan ko."Gutom? Keri pa. Pero kapeng-kape na ‘ko. I'm craving for that iced coffee of SB.""Okay. Give me three minutes,"I searched for my phone and purse. Ready to go to the newly opened Starbucks across the road with my caffeine-deprived BFF.Kagabi pa ito nag aayang mag coffee shop kami mukhang may balak

Chapter: Chapter 23GEN'S POV CLICHE. That's the first word that sprung to mind when I opened my eyes. My mind aimlessly wander, wondering what time did I slept last night. Tanda ko kasi alas-kwatro na ng madaling araw, gising na gising pa rin ang diwa ko't tila baliw na nakatitig sa kisame. Paulit-ulit na mukha ni Prince Liam ang umuukilkil sa utak ko't ang naging sagutan namin. Regrets fiiled my head to the point na gusto kong iumpog iyon sa pader.Ba't ba pinairal ko na naman ang kagagahan ko? Ang kapal ng apog kong sagut-sagutin siya, 'di ko man lang naisip ang magiging consequence noon. My job is literally on the line. Paano kung pagpasok ko bukas, sa gates pa lang ng palsyo may eviction notice na ako? Terminated. Cause, matabil ang dila. Told you, cliché. "Fuck. Heto na naman ako,"inihilamos ko ang palad sa mukha't pilit na kinalma ang sarili. I've made peace with this turmoil last night. Ano nga ulit

Chapter: Chapter 22GEN'S POV"GOOD morning, Gen. You look so tired.""Good morning, Your Highness. Medyo sinumpong lang po ng insomnia."Ngumiti ako sa fourth prince saka muling ibinalik ang atensiyon sa reports na tinatapos ko. Nasa sala kami ng villa at dahil maaga pa'y inayos ko muna ang ilang paper works na isa-submit bukas. My collegaues will do the rest tomorrow since I was granted a day off by the crown prince.The sound of the couch being occupied on my right traveled to my ear but I refused to look at him. Mahirap na baka makahalata pa itong nagsisinungaling ako about my insomnia. Ang totoo kasi pinsan nito ang 'di nag patulog sa akin.Wala 'kong nagawa kagabi kung hindi ang isipin ang binatang prinsipe and the kiss we shared. His warm mouth and those panty-melting eyes invaded my brain like how the Romans conquered the rest of the world before— savagely. The thought puts everything else is tr

Chapter: Chapter 21GEN'S POV“OH MY GOD! Prince Lachlan, huwag po.”“Come on, Gen. May tseke ka sa ‘kin worth three months of your salary. Just do this. For me.”Halos maiyak ako nang hilahin ng fourth prince sa gitna ng sayawan. Unfortunately for me, hindi pala ako nakaligtas sa parusa at sa banta ng pilyong prinsipe. Ako ang alay!“Cal, what’s the meaing of this?” Galit na singit ni Prince Liam bago pa ako tuluyang madal ng pinsan nito sa gitna kung saan naghihintay ang magiging kaparehas ko raw. A son of a random politician of the province.“She’ll be my proxy. Medyo na dislocate ang hipbone ko kahapon sa game.”“Let her go. Can’t you see, ayaw ng tao. Huwag mong pilitin.”“Ayaw mo ba, Gen?”Pinaglipat-lipat ko ang tingin s

Chapter: Chapter 20 GEN'S POV "SORRY NA. Babawi talaga ko sa'yo. Sa inyo.I promise,"malambing na hinging paumanhin ko kay Karlo sa kabilang line. Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pag- aayos ng sarili ng tumawag ito at si Chardii.Pinapaalala sa 'kin na may life pa ko bukod sa trabaho ko sa palasyo.I know they're joking pero 'di ko mapigilang makaramdam ng guilt. Ang tagal na rin kasi since the last time na nagkita-kita kami. "Babalik ka na this Monday di ba? So free ka that weekend, tama?"Boses ni Karlo na malamang sa malamang ay alam ko na kung saan papunta ang itinatanong. "Yup," maiklingsagot ko at ikinawit ang strap ng black sandals habang lumalabas ng kwarto ko. Panauhing pandangal kasi ang mga Royal Princes sa Fiesta Celebration ng isang baranggay sa Catbalogan n
