Chapter: EPILOGUEGRAYSONI never thought I'd find myself in a situation like this, sprawled out on a plush bed in a room, surrounded by the subtle scent of roses and scented candle. Jessica's lips are warm against mine, and her fingers trace lazy patterns on my back. The echoes of our recent vows still linger in the air. Sa wakas, kasal na kaming dalawa ni Jessica. She is finally my Mrs. Fiumara.As I deepen the kiss, I can feel the weight of the gold band on my finger, a constant reminder that I am now entertwine with my best friend, now my wife's life."Gray," sambit ni Jessica nang tumigil siya sa paghalik sa mga labi ko. "Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na kasal na tayo."I meet her gaze, "Believe it, Jess," I reply in a low tone. "We made it happen."Her fingers play with the buttons of my shirt as she smiles, the warmth reaching her eyes. "I never imagined a life like this, with a mafia guy as my husband."I gave her a half smile. "Well, believe it, Jess. We're in this together now."She leans

Chapter: 49GRAYSONTinapos ko lang ang isang linggong burol at libing ni Yuri para walang masabi sa akin ang pamilya ko. Sinubukan ko naman na pagluksaan ang kapatid ko, sadyanh hindi ko lang talaga maramdaman na kaluksa-luksa siya. Nasusuklam ako sa ginawa niya, her reason is not justifiable. Surrounded by the whispers of mourning, I couldn't muster an ounce of emotion. No sadness, no remorse. Just emptiness. Yuri's burial was done— swift, like a chapter closed in a book I never wanted to read. Naroon ako, oo, pero hindi para makiramay kung'di para kamuhian siya kahit na bangkay na siya, and sooner ay madedecompose na tulad sa ginawa niya sa mama ko at kay Grace. Ni hindi ko matignan ang walang buhay niyang katawan.She deserves it.Buhay ang kinuha niya kaya buhay niya rin ang siningil ko. Killing my sister was just business, a harsh reality I had accepted. The numbness had become a loyal companion, shielding me from the ghosts of my past. The Fœdus affiliation demanded a certain indiffere

Chapter: 48GRAY The chapel's air felt heavy as Jessica and I walked in, eyes shifting towards the mournful gathering. My family, Señora Diana sat solemnly, Enrico with his wife and kids, Angela beside her secretary Chami, and my niece and nephew, Luigi and Nashi. But Melody, Yuri's daughter, was kneeling by the coffin, tears streaming down her face. Depite of it, I feel nothing. "Sit down, Jess," I whispered, guiding her to a seat. Behind Señora Diana and Angela. I took my place beside her, eyes scanning the room. Yuri's betrayal echoed in my mind; the pain, the anger. But today, I wore the mask of grief, concealing the truth that only I and Jessica shared. "Gray," sambit ni Señora Dianan nang lingonin niya ako. "Wala na ang ate mo." "Opo, señora," tipid kong wika. "Hindi ko akalain na magagawa ni Marco 'yon kay Yuri," saad ni Enrico. "Napakasama niyang tao, ipinagkatiwalaan natin siya tapos ganito lang ang isusukli niya." "Enrico, puwede bang manahimik ka na? Marco is already in jail, l

Chapter: 46JESSICA Halos gabi na, wala nang araw sa langit, madilim na ang paligid pero si Gray... hanggang ngayon ay wala pa. Hindi ko maalis sa akin ang mag-alala. kung nadaan na ba siya at kung ano na ba ang ginagawa niya. Ilang beses ko na siyang sinusubukan na tawagan o i-message pero wala, wala siyang sagot. "Jessica, my dear," si Señora Diana, lumapit siya sa akin, may dala siyang isang basong gatas. "Kanina pa kita hinahanap sa loob, nandito ka lang pala. Anong ginagawa mo rito? Bakit nasa labas ka, hija?""Hinhintay ko lang po si Gray," sagot ko. "Hija, napakalamig dito sa labas. You and the baby should be inside," nag-aalalang sambit niya."I just wanted some fresh air," aniko. Naramdaman ko ang pangingilid ng luha ko sa hindi ko malaman na dahilan. "Is everything alright, Jessica?" she inquired, as settled into the chair next to mine, I glanced at the mansion, as if searching for answers among its ornate details. "I don't know, Something feels off..." "Gray us a busy man, J
