Chapter: Chapter 9Mari Kristine We have traveled all over the city just to find a place to stay for tonight. Unluckily, all of the apartments are occupied. The same with hotels and other inns. This is ridiculous! I have suggested to Dos that he must bring me back to the apartment so I can ask the landlord to stay there. But he always declines my suggestion. He implies that if we go back there, the landlord would pester me again. Not just that. Dos said that he already picked me up so he must find a good place for me to sleep. He was fuming mad when the hotels owned by him were all full. He said that he was so confident since he owns many hotels here in our city. Thus, Dos, he’s a bit embarrassed about bringing me trouble. But, no. I was the one who caused him trouble. He paid for my rent and got me out of trouble. Now, he’s helping me look for a place to sleep. I can just sleep in his car if he allows me so I will not bother him anymore. I looked at his gloomy face as he sat on the driver’s seat of

Chapter: Chapter 8DosI am already driving home after a few drinks and chit chat with my friend, Russel Perkins. I just felt the need to drink beer. We were at his bar to both celebrate and grieve about the situation I have faced earlier. I shook my head as I remembered what happened.I was at the office when I received the news from my assistant that my father was furious so I drove home to his house. We argued because I do not know how long it was. I just waited until he stopped from his homily.My father is angry at the fact that it was my brother who slept with my date. Well, it was me who set them up. So technically, I am at fault for what happened. But deep inside of me, I am a bit happy.My older brother, Diez, arrived and interrupted him so I was saved from trouble. They entered the study and talked about something important. Maybe it was for the family’s business again but I did not give a damn. Soon, they walked out of the room.“You disappointed me big time, Dos.” My father stated in deep re

Chapter: Chapter 7Mari KristineToday is a bit exhausting. I should have hung out with Fae if it weren’t for the fact that my manager gave me a pile of paperwork. He said to us that everything is under control but then he turned into a monster overnight. He did not even considered our break time and urged our time to rush those papers.I straightened my back and stretched out my hands. I need a good weekend break after this. Someone approached me with a cup of coffee and smiled.“You look so haggard, dear. There are way too many papers left, hope you don’t give up or else each of us won’t get paid at the end of the month.” My colleagues laughed at her words.“Yeah, I hope to finish all of this by dusk. I need to straighten my back tonight.” I stated as I looked around.“We all deserve a good rest tonight. I can’t afford to lose my job. I still need to pay for my family’s expenses.” The person who gave me the cup of coffee said before she went back to her seat.“Same here, Rissa! I had an insane night

Chapter: Chapter 6DosMy father’s bodyguard waited outside. I am certain that the old man was already inside, waiting for me. I parked my car when I noticed the guard mumbling something while holding a little microphone. What is he planning to do again?“You came from the south. The bodyguard said that you sped off the car and headed south before you finally got home.” My father stated as he looked at me smiling from ear to ear.“What does it have to do with you? As if you care about my errands.” I asked him sarcastically.“Of course! I want to have a grandkid now. You should find someone to marry as soon as possible. I have found out that your good for nothing brat is cheating on you.” He merely laughed with the idea of Ashley cheating on me.“Why are you so happy about that? You pressure your sons to give you grandkids but you don’t like Ashley. Well, I don’t care anyway.” I asked my father as he stood up suiting himself.“The guards said you were with a girl and drove her into her small apartment. J

Chapter: Chapter 5Mari KristineI am staring at the two movie tickets wondering what happened when Dos arrived. He is wearing a wide smile. As we both looked at the movie tickets, he winked at me.What a flirt!Behind him are two of the theater staff – one is holding a key while the other is holding one double order of popcorn and two soda cans for drink. Oh! So, he is really serious about watching a movie with me.I awkwardly smiled at him. You know what? I didn’t expect him to be so cheesy just now. He was recently listed as one of the young bachelors. I was there too when the Lamiers threw a celebration party for him.“You look like you don’t believe your eyes, Miss Rossier.” He teased in his deep husky voice.I never have heard that voice of his. Is it possible that his voice can be like that? I think I am spacing out just by listening to it.I only looked at him when he smirked, “Seems like you really do. Funny how you are spacing out.”I heard him laugh. But I was so embarrassed that I needed to

Chapter: Chapter 4DosMy dad is such a handful. He always drags me to his schemes and plans for my own sake beforehand. His plans are sometimes difficult for me to handle. Just like this one.“Sir, you should go back to your initial position and give us your best smile.” One of my father’s subordinates asked me.“Let me rest for a bit. This is not something charitable if you are going to push me to my limits. Please?” I asked him.“Okay, Sir. Fifteen minutes.” He briefly replied to me before turning his back.Just some seconds later, someone approached me. “Sir, we should go on with the photoshoot. It will be hot soon, the children still want to play.” He argued, sighing when I looked at him irritated.“Then just let those kids from the orphanage enjoy themselves. No need for me to document with them their play time. It’s just nonsense.” I refused to take photo shoots for the kids.“But Sir, we are instructed by your father to do so. We need to shoot at least three to five more.” One of the cameramen b

League of Aces: Clubs and Spades
“Miss Bella!” Saad ng isang kasamahan ko sa trabaho. “Nakalagay diyan ang bagong project mo.” Ika nito sabay lapag ng folder.
Agent Snow got an assignment again. Hindi tulad ng ibang taong kailangan niyang bigyang serbisyo, ang isang ito ay hindi basta bastang tao. He is one of the dominant and well-known businessman in their country, an Ace!
She entered a non-government military secret agency five years ago through the Ace of Hearts, Akihiro Leati Zhang-Hernández, a Chinese-Filipino businessman and a former military personnel. Being the most favored by the boss among the secret agents, she was envied by her colleagues and was often called as a snobbish frost.
One day, the boss called her for another mission; aside from protecting a man, she was given the chance to dig clues of the accident that happened five years ago which she suspect is related to her.
Assigned in protecting the Ace of Spades of the Asian business, Lance Joshua Villarreal-Sinclair, she was forced to enter the world of the elites where she found herself being dragged into the abyss of finding pieces of clues about her own identity.

Chapter: Chapter 18 - Damon’s ThoughtsDamonNarito ako ngayon sa bar dahil imbes na dumiretso ako pauwi ng condo ay tinawagan ako ni Kael. Iinom daw kami na hindi kasama ang kapatid ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero siguro ay nagulat sila sa nangyari kanina at sa ginawa niya.Pagkalabas namin sa hideout ni Lance ay magkaiba kami ng daan na tinahak. Napagdesisyunan kong sa condo muna ako magstay. Maging ako ay nanginig ang kaluluwa sa inasta ni Lance kanina. Hindi ko lubos akalain na magagawa niya ‘yon nang walang pag-aalinlangan.Magkakasama kami ngayong lima nila Kael, Kean, Hiro at Andrei. Wala si Nyx ngayon dahil nagtatampo pa rin sa ginawa ni Lance kanina. Tinawagan na siya ni Hiro na magpunta rito, hindi ko lang sigurado kung magpupunta ang gago.“Hiro!”“Love!”Napalingon ako sa entrance ng bar at nakita ko ro’n si Kie na masayang sumisigaw habang papalapit sa amin. Nakasunod naman sa kaniya ang kakambal niyang si Nyx.Nang makalapit na silang dalawa dito sa may bar counter ay agad silang nagpaorder ng iinumin. Aka

Chapter: Chapter 17 - Rats in a HideoutLance JoshuaIsa ring secret agent si Nyx na nagtatrabaho minsan kapag bored sa agency ni Hiro. Pero mayroon siyang trained na dalawang army na pwedeng makipaglaban sa mga kaaway: ang Green Diamond Platform na mga private military personnel at ang Red Diamond Regency na mga dating pulis militar.Lahat kami ay may sariling mga intelligence group pero ang kay Hiro ang pinakamaaasahan. Sikreto ito at hindi alam ng nakakarami kaya madali lang para sa kaniya ang isang trabaho. Ang kay Nyx naman ay publicized security group, lahat ay alam na ang isang Avenyx Blood ay may dalawang grupo ng army na pwedeng makipaglaban ano mang oras.My own intelligence group is a total nonsense if compared to them. Hindi ako mahilig maghire ng mga puro giyera lang ang alam. All of them are computer literate and half of them are highly trained snipers. But I will totally disagree with them war shooting, tangina lang ba?“Tapos na kayo?” Nababanas na tanong ko sa dalawa. Napasulyap si Damon sa ‘kin na nakakuno

Chapter: Chapter 16 - Burden of the AcesLance JoshuaWe arrived at our hideout after minutes of driving. Agad akong pumasok sa loob at nakita kong nandoon na ang lahat. Mabilis pa sa alas kwatrong nagsitayuan ang lahat at ang iba ay sumalubong sa aming dalawa ni Damon.“You have finally arrived.” Wika ni Hiro at masama ang mga tingin niya sa akin. “Mabuti naman at dumating ka na. Help us plan here.” Anyaya niya.Napatingin ako sa paligid. They all look fine. What is there that they were gathering? Kung may nangyaring aberya ay sigurado akong naroon na sila lahat sa lugar kung saan sila dapat sumugod at hindi nagkukumpulan dito. At mas lalong hindi na nila hihintayin ang pagdating naming magkapatid.“Anong nangyayari? Akala ko ba sinugod ang isa sa mga pinakamalaking warehouse natin? Bakit nandito kayong lahat?!” Nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanila habang sumisigaw.“Calm down! Hindi tayo pwedeng basta na lang sumugod doon. This time, malaking tao ang involved dito sa aberyang ‘to. We need to be careful in order for us to caught

Chapter: Chapter 15 - Circus of EmotionLance JoshuaNakapikit ako ko habang nakasandal sa upuan. Iniisip ko pa rin ang lahat ng sinabi ni Damon tungkol sa kanina. Is there any deeper arrangements between the two of them? Dad, please stop. Hiro, just stay the heck out of my life’s security. Ayaw ko sa lahat ay iyong may mga taong napapahamak dahil lang sa gusto akong protektahan. It’s just a life. It is not worth it protecting one while risking others’.“Gusto mong uminom ng kape, Sir?” Tanong ng secretary kong kung umasta ay parang siya pa ang boss kaya naman ay bigla akong napadilat. Nakangiti siya at maaliwalas ang mukha. Napatango ako dahil sa suggestion niya. Right. That’s actually great for me if I can have one. Kape ang kailangan ko ngayon para kumalma ang isip.I opened my laptop to watch over her while she’s making it. Lumapit siya sa kinaroroonan ng maliit na hidden camera sinita ko siya. Probably she noticed na may nakatagong bagay sa corner ng stand nang umilaw ito dahil sa pagkaka-enable ko ng microphone no’n.

Chapter: Chapter 14 - Drink Something SweetBella Schist“Nga pala, baka makalimutan ko. Huwag kayong bastang bibili ng pagkain sa labas o ng pagkain na galing sa lobby ng kumpanya na ‘to. Hindi natin alam kung may gagawa ng kalokohan na makakasama sa katawan ni Kuya Lance.” Pagpapaalala niya naman kaya napakunot-noo ako.“Paano mo naman nasabi ‘yan? May nagtangka bang lasunin siya?” Gulat na tanong ko dahil hindi ako naniniwalang sa mismong teritoryo niya ay may gagawa ng hindi maganda sa kaniya.“Ilang beses din kayang sinubukang lasunin si Kuya Lance. Kung saan-saang lugar na nga kami nagpapa-order ng makakain niya eh. Mismong chef niya nga nitong nakaraang buwan ay sinubukan siyang lasunin kung hindi lang dahil sa gamit niyang kubyertos na nangitim.” Pagbibigay impormasyon niya sa akin.Lalong nangunot ang noo ko. “Nangitim? Anong ibig mong sabihin sa nangitim na kubyertos?” Puno ng kuryosidad kong tanong.“Nagpalit kasi siya ng mga gamit noon.

Chapter: Chapter 13 - Weird Coffee PreferenceBella SchistTahimik lang akong kumakain nang umupo sa Miss Sheila sa tabi ko. Matagal din ang pagkakatayo niya nang makaalis ang dalawang boss ko. Nakatingin siya sa ‘kin habang kumakain kaya na-concious ako bigla sa paraan ng pagkain ko.“Tell me. Anong ginawa niyo ni Kuya Lance kanina? Ginawa niyo na ba ‘yong dapat na tapusin?” Interesadong pagtatanong niya.Base sa aura niya ay masasabi mong masayahin at pala-kaibigan siya. Siya ang unang namansin sa akin kanina, siya rin ang unang namansin ngayon na kami na lang dalawa ang naiwan dito. Hindi ito ang model na mainitin ang ulong katulad ng palaging sinasabi sa mga balita.Nilunok ko naman ang laman ng bunganga ko at sumagot. “Uhm… yes, Miss Sheila. Pero hindi pa namin tapos.” Nahihiyang sagot ko.“Naistorbo ko ba kayo sa pag-eksena ko kanina rito nang pumasok ako? Oh my! Lagot ako kay kuya nito,” Nag-aalalang tanong niya. “Hayaan mo at sa susunod ay hindi talaga ako manggugulo. Promise.” Pangako niya at itinaas pa ang kanang kamay
