SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV
"I like you."
While waiting for the elevator, Brody leaned his back against the wall as he crossed his arms on his chest. Gumalaw ang mata ko para makita siya sa peripheral vision ko. He's smirking like an idiot while giving me a thorough look. Ibinalik ko na lang ulit sa pinto ng elevator ang tingin ko, showing no respect to him. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na nakasunod pala siya sa akin.
"Is that important?" walang gana ko namang tugon. Man, I'm not interested in you. Get f*cking lost already.
He chortled. "Now, I'm starting to like you even more."
Tumunog ang elevator kaya agad na akong pumasok sa loob, ignoring him. Sunod siyang pumasok habang nakangiti pa rin. I maintained my compusure and imagined that he's not here. Too bad, he can talk.
"Matagal ka na ba sa amin?"
Nanatili akong tahimik, n

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"Someone invited you in a fight."I sighed. "By whom?""One of the judges. Guess, you made an impact, huh? Well, that's my niece and I'm always proud in everything she does."Napataas ako ng kilay at ibinaba na lang ulit ang kamay."So?"He let out a laugh again. "Masyado ka talagang masungit, Allisa. Baka madali mong ikabagsak iyan. Careful, darling.""Oh, Anderson. It will never happen. So, just get straight to the point, you motherf*cker," kalmado pero may diin na sabi ko.This man has the tendency to talks in circles and I f*cking hate it. I'm too impatient to wait for his nonsense news especially when it comes to a fight. He's the one accepting calls for me and arranges an event for a fight as Sam."I told you to stop calling me that. You're really a

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVI arrived in Turin at 8 AM in the morning. Almost twenty-one hours ang biyahe at masyado iyong matagal sa kagaya kong mainipin. It's like I wasted one day of my life doing nothing. This is what I hate the most when having a trip outside of the country.Ang Hotel Principi di Piemonte ang nakuhang hotel ng sekretarya ko since fully booked na sa ibang hotel dahil sa dami ng dumadayo. A month of February here in Turin has a cold weather and it's the best time to visit too, that's why. Buti na lang ay nakahabol pa siya sa bookings.I decided to take a walk on a busy street from the hotel to the Egyptian artifacts being displayed at the Museo Egizio. Gusto ko munang libangin ang sarili ko kahit papaano at sulitin ang pananatili ko rito hindi lang dahil sa laban.While looking at the artifacts, someone tried to strike a conversation with me."Se

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVKinilabutan ako sa pagdampi ng hininga at balat niya sa balat ko lalo na nang may biglang alaalang pumasok sa isip ko. Napamulat ako at agad siyang hinarap."What the f*ck is your problem?"The side of his lips rose before offering his hand for a handshake, I guess. I looked at his hand with a poker face then back to his freaking annoying face."Come on, it's just a friendly hand shake. Wala naman sigurong mawawala kapag tinanggap mo, hindi ba?"Bahagya akong nagulat sa biglaan niyang pag-Tagalog pero hindi ko iyon pinahalata. Guess, he's really a Filipino, huh? Baka half-half? Well, it doesn't matter!"How did you know that I'm a Filipino?" mapanuring tanong ko sa kanya."Instinct." He just shrugged his shoulders, hindi pa rin binababa ang kamay.Napatitig ako sa kanya. I'm q

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVInunahan niya ako sa paglalakad kaya napabuntong-hininga na lang ako. Himala, hindi na siya nangulit pa. I just shrugged it off and followed his path. Balak ko naman talaga na puntahan ang mga ganoong lugar. Lulong ako sa mga nakaraan kaya gustong-gusto ko ang mga bagay at lugar na itinayo at namuhay noon. It's so beautiful yet mysterious and fearsome for me."It's quarter to one. Let's eat our lunch first. There's a lot of good restaurants here," mungkahi niya habang nakatingin sa wrist watch niya.Dalawang lugar palang ang napupuntahan namin at hindi namin namalayan ang oras. Hinayaan lang namin ang mga sarili namin na malunod sa mangha ng ganda ng lugar without talking to each other. That's what you call a peace of mind with a calm surrounding. Hindi ko rin naramdaman ang gutom."Sure."Naglakad na ulit kami palabas ng Diocesan Museum.

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVAfter taking a quick shower, I put on my disguise, every sick f*cking fight. The usual high ponytail for my long wavy hair, hiding my bangs properly this time to not easily be espy, brown contact lens to hide the true hue of my eyes, which is somewhat blue, and a freaking mask for my bare face. As for the clothes, I wore a ripped high waisted jeans, tight shirt with long sleeves, leather jacket and heeled boots, temporarily, until I arrive in arena.I stood still, maintaining my look on the huge mirror. I smirked, approving for my look for tonight. Damn! I can't help but to praise myself for having a fucking taste in fashion and styles. Ano pa bang kulang at wala sa 'yo, Sam? Or should I say Deianeira Madigan?Nang matapos na ay kinuha ko na ang duffel bag ko kung saan nakalagay ang mga kakailanganin ko sa laban. I also brought my gun and sharp knife with me, if it happens to be

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVNapabuntong-hininga ako ng malalim pagkapasok sa oktagon. I saw my opponent standing at the center together with the referee and some corner men. She gave me a thorough look so I did the same to her. For a woman like her, masyado siyang ma-muscle. If it wasn't for her big breasts, I wouldn't recognize her as a woman. Well, hindi na ito kataka-taka. But my body is nothing compared to her and to the other fighters. I mean, it's so slender to the point that I look like a model than a boxer. Funny, I know. But considering my strength, I can manage to pin them down even with this small body of mine because like what I said, I've been trained since I was young.Hindi ko alam kung paano ba ako napasok ni Anderson dito knowing na may sinusunod na weight class at rules ang MMA.Lumapit sa akin ang referee para bumulong. "Devi toglierti la maschera, Sam."(Translation: "You need t

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVF*ck! It's Levi!That's what I think."What the f*ck is happening?" I shouted because I'm dying to know the reason behind this fucking sudden occurrence."Now!" he said offhand to dodge the question.Mabilis akong gumulong palabas sa ilalim ng oktagon. Agad akong naupo at tatakbo na sana nang matamaan na naman ako ng bala sa may binti ko."F*ck!" malutong na mura ko.Tumingin ako sa direksiyon na pinagmulan 'non at nakita ang isang snipe rifle na nakalabas sa isang upuan sa pinakataas."Found you." Napangisi ako nang makita ang taong nagtatago sa likod ng baril at upuan. Nanliit ang mga mata ko para titigan ang galaw ng taong iyon.I pointed the gun at his direction and immediately pulled the trigger. It's head shot. Damn you, f*cker.

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVIbinalik ko na lang ang atensyon ko sa kalaban pero hindi na sila nakasunod pa. I put back the guns at the back of his pants and rested my head on his shoulder. I sighed and closed my eyes. What a f*cking situation.Nang tumigil na ang motor ay lumayo na ako sa kanya. Una siyang umalis sa pagkakaangkas sa motor para alalayan ako. I didn't accept his hand, though."Whose house is this?" I asked while looking at the small house."Mine."Nabaling ang tingin ko sa kanya nang maglakad siya palapit sa pinto. Nakita ko na ang susi ng bahay ay kasama sa susi ng motor. He welcomed me so I just made my way inside."Make yourself comfortable," he said before leaving me in the living room.I scanned the whole place while removing the coat. Naupo agad ako sa sofa. Inayos ko ang buhok ko para alisin ang mga nye
