Maddy's point of view:Ang bigat ng talukap ng mga mata ko. Para bang ilang oras akong walang malay, at ngayon lang bumabalik ang diwa ko. Hindi pa man lubusang nagigising ang ulirat ko, ramdam ko na agad ang bugbog na katawan ko—parang may tumama sa batok ko bago ako tuluyang nawalan ng malay.Hindi ko agad maigalaw ang mga kamay ko.What the fuck—?!Napadilat ako nang tuluyan, at doon ko lang napagtanto kung nasaan ako. Nakaupo ako sa isang upuan, magaspang ang pakiramdam ng tali sa mga pulso ko, at kita kong may tape pang nakadikit sa mga paa ko. Nanginginig pa ang paningin ko, pero mula sa bintana ng kwarto kung saan man ako naroon, kitang-kita ang makakapal na ulap sa labas.We were up in the fucking air.Nasa eroplano ako.I glared at him. "I already know where I am. And what you want." Umangat ang sulok ng labi niya. "Smart girl."Sinubukan kong pigilan ang panginginig ng kamay ko. I can't show weakness. Hindi ako pwedeng magpakita ng takot sa harap niya. I needed to think. I

Ryu's point of view:When I arrived home, I headed straight to the room where she lay. It was quiet. The only sound was the soft beeping of the life support machines connected to her. Miori. Her eyes were still closed, no response—but she looked more at peace now than before. It was as if she wasn't so far away anymore. I sensed people entering the room behind me—the doctors who had been taking care of her. One of them stepped forward and spoke gently. "Her heartbeat is finally stable."I immediately turned to look at them. "Nande?" ( What? )The doctor nodded. "Her vitals are looking much better now. Just earlier, her finger moved. It's a good sign. She's not awake yet, but this means she's getting closer."I looked back at Miori. I stared at her for a long time, waiting. For any small movement. Any sign that what they were saying was real. But she remained still. Months. I've been waiting for this moment for months. Holding onto the possibility that she would wake up,

author: fnally! we get to see Ryu's point of view! Ryu's point of view: I sat at the head of the conference table, listening as the discussion unfolded around me. My fingers tapped lightly against the surface, the rhythmic sound the only indication of my growing impatience. The dim lighting cast sharp shadows along the walls, adding to the tension in the air. Tetsu and Seiji sat on my right, while Ren leaned against the far end of the table, arms crossed. "Ranma's been lying low since his last move," Seiji spoke first, his tone calm but firm. "What he did was unpredictable and too reckless." Tetsu rolled his shoulders, exhaling sharply. "We should strike before he does again." Ren, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. "And where exactly do we hit him? We don't even know where he's hiding since what happened." My fingers stilled. Ranma wasn't reckless. Every move he made was calculated. If we rushed in blind, we'd be playing straight into his hands. "Let's still

Ryu's piercing gaze met mine the moment I stepped into the hallway. His expression was unreadable, but there was a certain sharpness in his eyes that made my stomach twist.He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, his posture casual-but I knew better.Laging ganito si Ryu kapag may bumabagabag sa kanya.I blinked, still groggy from sleep, and tried to act normal. "Morning."He didn't respond.Instead, his eyes flickered toward my room, then back at me. His jaw clenched.Ano na namang trip niya?I could already tell what he was thinking, but I refused to play into whatever this was. So, I sighed, shaking my head. "You got something to say, Ryu?"His voice was calm, but his words were razor-sharp. "Did he sleep in your room?"I exhaled through my nose, not in the mood for this. "Not the way you think."His brows furrowed. "Then explain it to me."I folded my arms, mirroring his stance. "I had a nightmare. Ren woke me up and stayed for a while. That's it."Ryu's eyes darkened, his

Yuta was deep asleep. Nagpaalam muna kami sa mga nurses at nakiusap na bantayan nang mabuti si Yuta dahil aalis muna kami. Ren's got business to do and I want go home to change clothes. Ang lagkit lagkit ko na sa dugo ni Yuta. Pagdating namin sa mansyon, Ren barely put the car in full stop nang bumukas agad ang pinto at bumaba ako. I was exhausted, but my mind was wide awake. Ang dami ko pa ring iniisip, lalo na 'yung tungkol kay Ranma at kay Miori."Go take some rest. I'll try my best to be at home tonight," sabi ni Ren habang bumababa rin ng sasakyan.I smiled. "Do what you gotta do, Ren." Tumalikod na ako at pumasok sa loob.Pagkapasok ko sa mansyon, ramdam ko agad ang bigat ng katawan ko. Para akong lalagpak sa sahig sa pagod, pero mas nangibabaw ang lagkit na nararamdaman ko. The dried blood on my skin felt disgusting.I headed straight to my room, locking the door behind me. Hindi ko na inabala pang tingnan ang paligid. I just peeled off my stained clothes and rushed to the bat

Ryu exhaled sharply, rolling his shoulders back. "Forget it," he muttered, slipping his hands into his pockets. "Let's move on."I narrowed my eyes at him, half-expecting him to push the topic further. But to my surprise, he didn't. Salamat naman dahil baka maubusan ako ng isasagot. Tetsu smirked. "Sparring?"A grin spread across Sato's face. "Now that's more like it."My lips twitched upward. Finally, something I'm actually good at.Ryu crossed his arms, glancing at me. "You're joining?"I raised a brow. "Why wouldn't I?""Volunteer ako as ka-sparring ni Madelaine!" Sigaw ni Yuta habang taas taas ang kanang kamay. "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you.""I don't mind if you won't." I shrugged.The boys let out amused chuckles, clearly entertained by my confidence.As soon as Seiji signaled the start, Yuta lunged forward—but before he could even get close, I dodged smoothly, making him stumble slightly."Teka lang," Tetsu called out, amusement lacing his voice. "Yuta, dahan-dahan ha. Bak

birthday ball"Sakit ng ulo ko." Sapong sapo ng palad ko ang sumasakit kong ulo. It felt like shit. Parang nabagsakan ng isang kilong hallowblocks. Ganun din sila Devy at Wein. Hindi naman umiinom si Heaven kaya nauna pa itong nakaligo sa'min. "Here girls. Got you some soup!" Hannah just came with their cooks na may dala dalang apat na bowl ng soup. "Mainit pa yan. After that let's take swim then let's dress up. How's that sound?" Ang good mood naman ng babaeng 'to. "Anong oras ba magsisimula yung party?" Tanong ni Devy saka pumwesto sa maliit na table dito sa kwarto. Nauna nang humigop ng sabaw. Ayoko pang bumangon! "Lunch daw eh. But the main event will commence in the evening." Hannah answered. Lumabas na rin yung mga staff kaya sinubukan nalang din na bumangon. "Main event? Ilang event pa mangyayari today?" "This lunch is for their company. Hindi ka pa ba magr-ready, Lucy?" "Huh?" Sebastian hasn't been sending me updates anything about work. May meeting pala? Ba't hindi ko

bonfire"Nina's calling him?" Devy said in surprise. But not the happy surprised. We're currently here at the bar counter. Nagpalit ang trabaho namin ng mga boys. Sila na ang nag preprepare ng makakain, while kami naman ang naghahanda ng maiinom mamaya. As usual, may juice, soda at hindi mawawala ang alak."Yes, kanina." I answered as I took a sip of the gin that Wein just mixed. "Hmm, that's strong." Napangiwi ako sa lasa. Sayang at wala si Hannah. Padilim na ang langit kaya wala na masyadong tao ang nagsisilabasan. May naliligo pa rin naman pero bilang nalang sa mga daliri namin. Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan ang boys na abala sa pag aayos ng bonfire session namin mamaya. Ang laki ng ngiti ni Ford, pagkatapos nung away nila River kanina ay mas nakakasama na namin sya. Napako naman ang tingin ko kay Fin na walang saplot pang taas. Anong trip niya? Nagpapasexy ba sya sa mga babaeng naliligo? Pinagtitinginan kaya sya! "Baka matunaw naman abs ni Fin n'yan," I was snapped back i

Chapter 23"I'm sorry." He hugged me. I was out of words and only saying sorry came out from my mouth. Nahihiya ako sa inasal ko kanina. I shouldn't have let my emotions take over me. "Shh," Fin hushed when he started to caress the back of my head. "Naiintindihan kita."Humiwalay ako ng kaunti para tignan sya dahilan para matigil din ang pag haplos niya sa buhok ko. "You do?" Did the boys told him about my past?He nodded. "Alam kong mahal mo lang mga kaibigan mo kaya ganun ka umakto." I sighed. Akala ko sinabi nila. I actually don't mind but I also don't want Fin to know that my father is no different from the people that killed his parents. Natatakot ako na baka maturn ito sa akin. "Thank you." I said with a smile. He then, kisses my forehead. Nandito kami ngayon sa balkonahe ng room namin ng girls. Fin asked Devy if it's okay to enter and check on me. Pumayag naman sila at pinapapasok si Fin. Ngayon ay nagpapahangin kaming dalawa sa labas. Kitang kita namin ang buong dalampasi

Chapter 22"How are you feeling?" His voice suddenly filled the silence as we were sitting on the shore, the same spot where we had our first deep chitchat. I sighed, thinking what to answer. I don't know. How am I feeling? I've heard enough today. "Alam mo, pag nag eenglish ka, parang ibang tao nakakausap ko." Ani ko sakanya, "maangas ka kasi kausap palagi at palamura pa." Dagdag ko pa sabay tawa. Sinimangutan lang ako ng mokong. "Trip ko lang mag english minsan." "Pero mas bet ko yang ganyan," tinignan ko sya. Nakatingin na pala sya sa'kin. Ang pogi talaga. "Ako bet kita." Bahagya ko s'yang tinulak habang natawa. "Bet daw. Parang wala ka ngang plano sa'kin eh." Pabiro kong sabi. Natigilan naman sya. Natahimik din ako bigla. Parang nabigla ko ata sya dun ah. Aba, dapat lang malaman niya yon no. First time ko pa naman 'to, tapos 'di niya ako papanindigan. Iiyak talaga ako. Chos. "Kailangan pa bang itanong yun?" Kumunot ang noo ko at hinarap sya. "Ang alin?" "Yung ganun," sag

Chapter 21 "I thought you're not on good terms with your mom. Okay na kayo?" We're still here at the cottage. Kami nalang dalawa ang natira. The girls went out and swim with the boys. I stayed here with my boss. Nakakahiya naman kung iiwan ko sya 'e inimbitahan namin sya rito. "Still my mother after all. Wala rin naman sa plano niya ang tumagal pa rito. She just came home to check the company." Aniya sabay inom ng alak. I was playing with my fingers while having second thoughts if I'm going to ask him a question or not. Ayoko sanang isipin niya na chismosa ako. "Go ahead. Ask something." Napaangat ako ng tingin sakanya. Ang galing, nababasa niya isipan ko? Bahagya naman syang natawa. "Alam ba ng mommy mo na may sakit ka?" His smile fade away. Sabi ko na nga ba. I shouldn't have asked. Ang tanga talaga, Lucille! "It's okay, questions doesn't bother me." He respond and then looked away. Pinagmamasdan niya ang dagat, ganun din ako. "She didn't. She doesn't need to know. Dad d

Chapter 20Lucille's point of view. I woke up with a smile on my face. It was just really heart pounding last night. He was my first kiss! Fin's my first kiss! Napatakip nalang ako ng unan sa mukha saka tumili ng malakas. Akalain mo yon, pinagtataguan lang ako ng lokong yon pero nahahalikan ko na ngayon. Pag sinuswerte ka nga naman talaga. "Hoy Lucille! Mga kaibigan mo, nasa baba." Tawag sa'kin ni mama. Kinunutan ko lang sya ng noo. Mga kaibigan? Kailan pa nila sinabi na pupunta sila ngayon?"Kainis naman!" Nagmamadali akong bumangon at bumaba. Andito nga sila pero si Devy, Wein at Heaven lang. Anong meron? May general assembly ba? "Woke up like this ang peg oh! Ang ganda pa rin!" Sabi ni Devy, may palakpak pang kasama. Kinunutan ko lang sila lahat ng noo. "Anong meron?" "You haven't read the GC yet?" Tanong ni Heaven. I tilted my head on the side for a second. "Ahh. . . nakatulog na ako kaagad kagabe eh." Ikaw ba naman hindi mapagod sa nangyare kahapon. Buti nalang may kiss.
