I was still in a daze after we left the office. I had many questions about why Dad had chosen him and why he had agreed even if it wasn’t part of Ezekiel's job. From what I've known, Ezekiel chooses to be in the military couple years ago. Same year Damien and I fell apart.I was shocked. I didn’t expect him to take up that kind of work considering their family was powerful and rich enough to live a comfortable life without lifting a hand.I wonder, isn’t it illegal to be a bodyguard while you’re still a soldier?"Goodbye, Ma’am," Manang Betty's greeting pulled me out of my reverie.I turned to the her and smiled. My smile faded and my eyebrows clashed when I saw the expressions of the two women intern beside her.Their mouths slightly parted and eyes twinkling as they feasted on Ezekiel. They might be drooling any moment now if Mang Betty hadn’t pinched their sides. Their face flushed when they realized I was looking at them. They greet me in embarrassment. Can’t even meet my eyes.I

I stopped in front of the tall, large building my family worked so hard to build. Leandro Corporation was one of the major companies competing all around the country. It also kept up with international and global companies. It’s a powerful empire my grandparents worked hard to build. They poured their all into it.Luckily, it grew even stronger and more prosperous when my father took over. But as the Leandro Corporation got bigger, the competition increases, the enemies doubled.And enemy means danger.So, I had a strong feeling that our 'security' was the main reason why Papa called me today.When I entered the building, many employees greeted me with a smile on their faces. I returned it with the same demeanor and walked straight through the elevator before punching the floor button. I was deeply thinking about what might be this sudden need of my father to talk to me when the elevator opened and someone was already standing there.When I looked up, I almost cursed out loud. My kne

"Now, about the deal," he said directly.I sighed. "What do you want-""You."My throat dried and my lips slightly parted.I'm already yours. From the first moment you kissed me, I am yours.I cannot move. I can't even speak. I'm speechless. I don't know how to answer. I can't utter a single word...Even if I tried to remind myself that we shouldn't have a relationship that's more than friendship, there's that small part of me screaming for disapproval.There's an opposition when it's him. As always.Deep inside, I am aching and yearning for him to ask me out. There's a small part of me that was waiting for this moment."Go out with me. Date me." He stood up and slowly approached me until we're only a few meters away from each other.Just enough to feel our burning bodies."But I'm your brother's past," I whispered to make sure he knew what he was getting into.He cocked his head. "So?" he asked like my question was a very stupid one."Why do you want to date me?" I crossed my arms.I

Nabalik lang ako sa huwisyo ng tumunog ang bell, hudyat na labasan na. May mga magulang na din akong kasamang naghihintay sa labas. Binigyan ko ng tipid na ngiti ang babaeng nakatingin sa akin. I saw her cheeks blushed before I entered the classroom. "Dad!" Tumakbo si Vernon papunta sa akin. Ganoon din si Terra. I scooped them both in my arms and kissed them both in their cheeks. "You so early, Addy! Want play pa po!" reklamo ni Terra. Nangiti ako. Kamukha talaga ni Aurora. Akin nga lang ang mata. I take pride in that. The eyes of a Zolotov. "There's no problem, princess. You can play a little more then." I rubbed my nose against her cheeks. She giggled while pushing my face with her small, chubby and adorable hands. "Addy, stop!" she wriggled. Nakitawa si Vernon dahil sa mukha ni Terra na bungi. She's a choco

Hanggang sariwa pa ang mga nangyari, lumayo muna ako kay Aurora. I turned off my phone and tried my all not reached out to her. Sobrang hirap nga lang. Napagdesisyunan kong abalahin ang sarili sa pag-interrogate sa nagtangka sa buhay ni Aurora. But I first explained to Tito Renanzo what I had just discovered about myself. Katulad ko ay nayanig din ang mundo niya. Pinakilala ko siya kay Papa at sabay naming piniga ang nahuling lalaki para sa importanteng impormasyon. Unang nakuha namin sa kanya ay ang totong citizenship niya. Inakala naming mula siya sa America. He was fluent in english. No hint of russian accent. But I knew he was lying. He only confessed everything when Papa held him at gun point. "Eto byl Donato! Donato otdal prikaz!" It was Donato! It was Donato who gave orders! Nanginginig at nakapikit niyang sigaw. "Grebanyy predatel!" Fucking traitor. Father hissed. Napag-alaman ko na isa si Donato sa kasalukuyang umuukupa sa pwesto ko sa GGC. Inilagay siya ni Papa doon hi

Hindi ko alam kung sino ang ama at ayaw ko na din magtanong kung ayaw niyang sasabihin. She's going through a lot. I won't add up to that.Mag ideya ako kung sino ang ama. Hindi ko lang sigurado.Ayaw ko talaga pero sinikmura ko dahil may bata sa sinapupunan niya. The fortune she's about to receive if she'll marry me is enough to give the child a secured future.Nagpakasal nga kami. Bilang lang ang nakakaalam dahil pinili naming i-sekreto.Many of her relatives were after their riches so it's more safe if we keep it as a secret.

Tumama ang kamao niya sa panga ko pero malademonyo lang akong napangisi.That's the initiation I'm fucking waiting for.Agad akong bumato ng suntok pabalik. Naawat lang kami sa sigaw ni Papa at pagkataranta ni Tita Karina sa pagbugbog sa gago. He was unrecognizable as blood covers his face."You deserved it you motherfucker.

After a year ay ibinahay ni Papa ang nabuntis niya.Nagalit ako.Mas lalong nadismaya sa desiyon niya.Sobrang gago niya para sa akin. I became colder and more distant with him.

Her wavy hair that danced everytime she moves with grace. Her hazel nut eyes that always seems like she's... seducing boys around her.Parang in

EZEKIEL'S POV Iginala ko ang aking paningin sa kabuoan ng bahay. It's was nothing alike to the place where my nightmares were created. Kung saan ang isang anghel ay nadungisan ng kasamaan. Ang anghel na iyon ay akon. But when I lost my innocence, I'm no longer an angel. Ang bata kong pag-iisip at pagkatao ay namantyahan na. Puno ng antigong mga gamit ang loob ng bahay na ito. Kakaiba ang bawat desinyo sa iba't-ibang sulok at maaliwalas sa pakiramdam. Hindi kagaya ng kung saan ako nanggaling ilang buwang na ang nakalipas. The syndicate's lair reminds me that inferno exist. Puro usok ng sigarilyo, amoy ng alak, pulbura ng mga ipinagbabawal na gamot at balang inilalagay nila sa mga baril na walang ka
