SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV
He put me down on the soft bed. Nangalay ako sa pagtingala para lang makasabay sa halik niya kaya kumalas ako at lumayo sa kanya. Agad naman siyang nakasunod kaya pareho na kaming nasa kama ngayon.
He opened my legs wide as his left hand held my waist to have a better access on my body. Ang kaliwa niya namang kamay ay humawak sa leeg ko para siilin ako ng halik. Bumaba iyon hanggang sa may sports bra ko. Agad kong narinig ang pagkapunit niyon. In just a swift move, he managed to remove my bra and threw it somewhere, revealing my healthy breasts. I opened my eyes to see his reaction but he's still busy kissing me so hard.
A groan escaped from my lips instead of a moan when he cupped hard one of my breasts. Bilang pambawi ay kinagat ko naman ang dila niyang nakapasok na sa akin.
I heard him chuckle. "Silly lady."
I bit my bottom lip to prev
LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POVI was born as a callous child from the crime family of Dalzell. My great grandfather established a legal crime named after him, the LVDCoS or Laius Vemados Dalzell Crime of Solace, which became well known across La Vezque City and in some other countries. With three essential core values: Life, Vainglory, and Die-hard, the goal of which is to create pride out of nothing, my family became famous, but with the purest motives of the two organizations, all the secret stench of our family came out. Dirt after dirt, secrecy after secrecy, my family became the worst nemesis of the two organizations–The KH and Akeldama–and the people."H-Help... Help me..."My face remained stoic as I watched the naked woman begged for me, looking at me through the narrow gap of an open door. She's lying on the cold metal table, her hands and feet chained. I can see blood keeps on spurt
LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV"A lack of empathy and guilt, a superficial influence, glibness, deceit, and callousness are all symptoms of psychopathy. The origins of the disease are either hereditary or unknown."I justsatthere staring at the psychiatric doctor in front of me. Psychopathy is a harsh, profound word for a seven-year-old like me. It was familiar to me, and its meaning just clarified things for me. Ngayon naiintindihan ko na kung bakit kakaiba ang ugaling meron ako kumpara sa mga normal na batang kagaya ko. Nilalayuan din ako ng mga ito, lalo na't isa akong Dalzell pero hindi iyon ganoon ka-big deal sa akin dahil hindi ko naman kailangan ng panibagong tao sa buhay ko. My family is already enough."Oh, my God," my mom beside me gasped as she held back her tears from falling. "Is... Is there a cure for it? What should we do, Doc? What should I do? How can we treat him? Masyado pa siyang b
LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POVFor a year, my life has been like that. Gumuho na ang reputasyon ng pamilya namin. Unti-unti ring nagsialisan ang mga tauhan namin. No one stayed by my side even though I’m just a nine-year-old child. No one dared to stop me from doing what he wants, turning me into a monster.Until one day, the cops, investigators and detectives entered the mansion where I was living. I didn't even flinch from where I’m standing. Nanatili lang akong tahimik, inoobserbahan sila habang pinapalibutan nila ako."Identify the victims. Send medics for those who are still alive," a detective said. He signalled his fellow men to put down their weapon. "He's just a kid." Because of that, a flying dagger was sent to him right into his heart, and they were too late to realize that. Agad binawian ng buhay ang detective at mabilis nila akong tinutukan ulit ng baril.Hindi pumala
LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV"Do you want to eat something, Deianeira?"When I opened the door of my bedroom, she’s not there anymore. Pumasok ako’t sinuri ang walk in closet. Nakita ko ang isang suit na nasa sahig. The moment I picked it up, I heard the engine of my bike roared to life. Mabilis akong napatingin sa suit at nakita ang apelyido ko sa may kuwelyo. Well, f*ck it.Tumakbo ako palabas ng bahay pero nakaalis na siya kaya wala akong ibang nagawa kundi ang titigan siya. When she was completely out of my sight, I sighed deeply as I ran a hand through my hair. I licked my lips and put my hands on my hips. Ilang segundo akong nanatiling nakatayo sa labas bago pumasok ulit sa loob para gawin ang trabaho ko.Bumalik ako sa kuwarto. Nagbihis ako’t hinanda ang mga kakailanganin ko. After putting my mask and gloves, I picked up my leather jacket on the coat rack and the ke
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"Did you find something?""How about you? Is there a suspicious judge you met in the arena?"Bahagya akong napatigil sa ginagawa ko. Pagkarating ko palang sa hotel na tinutuluyan ko ay tinawagan ko na agad si Anderson tungkol sa binilin ko sa kanya – that is to dig dirt about the judges. Yes, we lacked info about the said event, but not about the judges and the other people involved in it. Dapat pala tinanong ko na muna ito kay Anderson bago pa man ako sumabak doon. Leche. Sakit na naman sa katawan ang inabot ko."There's someone..." I paused, pondered a little on how I should tell him about Levi. "And Aeron was there, too.""Aeron?""The man who got my mask.""So, that's his name. But I feel like that name was kind of familiar." May narinig akong tunog ng papel sa kabilang linya. "What's hi
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVMabilis ang naging galaw ko sa pag-aayos. Medyo nahirapan din ako dahil sa mga sugat na natamo ko pero wala akong ibang magagawa kundi ang indahin ito. My gaze was drawn to my phone, which vibrated on the table, while I secured the knives within my boots and the pistols on my side. Sinuot ko ang itim na leather jacket ko kasunod ang maskara. I picked up the keys and my phone before going out. Pagkarating sa sasakyan ay binasa ko agad ang mensahe ni Anderson bago ito paharurutin papunta sa address na nasa text.I immediately stepped on the brake few meters away from the house of Hemington. Pinatay ko ang makina at pinakiramdaman ang paligid habang nakatingin sa bahay. The road and the other houses are strangely quiet. Nabaling lang ang tingin ko sa isang bahay nang may mabasag mula roon kasunod ng mga pagpapalitan ng sigaw. Hindi pa nagtagal ay nakita ko sa may bintana ang babae't lalaki na nag-aaway.
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVWe landed in the Philippines around 12 a.m. and arrived at La Vezque at 1 p.m. Naging abala agad ako sa trabaho at sa ball na magaganap mamayang gabi. I demanded my designer to finish the gown quickly before the night. Pinagalitan ko rin ang sekretarya ko dahil hindi niya nagawang sabihin sa mga executives at board members na on leave ako ng two days or more. Leche. Now, I need to make up for it."May papaimbestigahan ako sa 'yo, Anderson," agad na sabi ko pagkapasok palang niya sa opisina ko sa mansyon."You called me for that, my niece? You know it's not my job to handle. Idadamay mo na naman ako. Plus, you have lots of men. They can do it easily and without any delay." Naupo siya sa sofa.Daming sinabi. Puwede namang 'ano o sino 'yon?' o kaya 'bakit?'. Tsk."Use your connections.""Ano naman ang magiging kapalit?"
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVI cooled down myself. Wala na naman akong mapapala kung ganito lang naman siya umasal. I just can't believe he's letting this important matter slipped away. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang pagdudahan siya. F*ck. What if this motherf*cker knew something I didn't know? What if he's excavating without allowing me to enter? Ano, kanya-kanya na ito?I rolled my eyes. Nagpatuloy ako sa pag-scan sa mga papel. We also continued to share our ideas and information about the past, not just on Aeron. Pero kahit na anong gawin ko, it always ends up to a dead end. Baka isa lang din sila sa mga naging biktima noon sa pagitan ng labanan. May parte rin sa akin na ayaw paniwalaan ang mga sinasabi ni Anderson."He's been in a psychiatric ward when she was still young?" basag ko sa katahimikan nang may makita akong news article about Aeron being acquitted in psychiatric ward after killing people.&n
The quest for the truth and revealing the mysteries that have entwined all of our lives will go on indefinitely. No matter how hard we fight and how many lives are lost, nothing will change if the words we seek to end this brutal, bloody war come from the ones who are the root of everything. We, Deianeira Madigan and Blake Aeron Dalzell, would not be able to coexist if it weren't for our dark family histories. There will be no conflict between the two organizations if love didn’t prevail. Will the war ever stop if history repeats itself, or will it continue to be a never-ending cycle until the two organizations ultimately surrender? It will be a long and tiring series of events. Until then, see you on book 2, as diverse stories from the past come back to haunt us all, and provide us the answers we've been waiting for since the beginning of everything. We are not yet in the thick of the conflict, and we are far from the end; can you still witness the beginning of this long-overdue fi
LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV"It's been three f*cking days, Ark!" Napahilamos ako sa mukha't marahas na pinasadahan ng kamay ang buhok ko. I can also feel my eyes stinging and tears welling up. "What the hell are we waiting for? Hindi natin ito madadaan sa santong dasalan! F*ck! This is a bloodbath! Actions are far more important than words and planning!""Naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo, L?" Ark walked near me. "Hindi tayo basta-basta aaksiyon kung walang plano.""Goddamn it, Ark. Puro na lang pagpaplano ang laman ng utak mo tapos ano? It always backfires to us!""Akeldama is not an easy enemy–""Yeah?" I locked my gaze on his vexing eyes. "What can you say about Deianeira's actions towards them? Duwag ka lang."Ark clenched his jaw. "Take back what you just said, L.""What? Does it hurt your ego? Tss. Meron ka ba 'non sa s
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVMy heart is pounding. I wasn't expecting to see him once I regained consciousness. I assumed I'd been captured by the Akeldama. What happened?Napatitig ako sa kanya. He's holding my hand while he's asleep. F*ck, why does he have to do this? Pakiramdam ko unti-unti na namang nagigiba ang pader na binuo ko sa loob ng ilang linggo. Just seeing him is enough to make my entire life crumble. That's something I didn't expect, but I guess people do change if someone or something disrupts your equilibrium.I clenched my fists and shut my eyes tight. I need to get a grip on myself. He and his family are atfault. I know I shouldn't blame him for what occurred between us in the past, but f*ck, he came from that family, the enemy of our family. It was made worse by the fact that he kept his true identity secret from me. I can't afford to spend the rest of my life with a monster w
LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV"We found her."Mabilis akong napaapak sa brake na nanlalaki ang mga mata."I’ll be there." I ended the call and started the engine again. Para akong nakipagkarerahan sa puso ko habang ang utak ko ay kung saan-saan na lumilipad.Nang makarating sa headquarters ay agad kong tinakbo ang hallway papunta sa elevator. I feel like the time inside the elevator is so long that it suffocates me. F*ck, kailan pa naging ganito kabagal ang elevator? Kung kailan nagmamadali ay pinapabagal naman ng ibang bagay, lalo na ng oras.I reached for the handle of our office's glass door and noticed my team members. My gaze was drawn to Ark right away. When I spotted him, I swiftly approached him, without moving my gaze away from him."Speak." Ark turned around with a surprised expression on his face. Bahagya siyang napatitig sa akin. Ka
LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POVNothing but the thundering thumps of my heart could be heard as I walked down the hospital's lengthy corridor. I'm still debating if what I heard from Elon is true or if they're simply making a fool of me, because if they are, I will f*cking kill them for making me feel this sh*t.Kausap ko palang si Bamboo bago kami umalis ng Maldives tapos pag-uwi namin dito ay biglang ganito? What the f*ck is going on? Is this a dream? This doesn't sound right in the least. Bamboo is not dead. It isn't possible. Bamboo, knowing her, will never keep every detail of our current situation hidden from me."Nilusob tayo ng Akeldama. I thought we'd be prepared if it happened... but no." Elon’s body shivered. "Akala namin ay tatakutin lang nila kami at ang organisasyon pero hindi, eh. They've gone beyond our boundaries. Ang ilan sa atin ay sugatan pero si Bea... She's the only one... who didn't ma
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVNabasag agad ang isang baso na may lamang alak nang malakas ko itong itinapon sa ulo ng pangit na ugok. I shifted my gaze to the side, flattened my left hand on the table, and kicked him in the chest. Sinundan ko ng tingin ang pinagtumbahan niya. Knock out.Lumiko agad ang mga mata ko nang makita ko sa peripheral vision ko ang paparating na suntok. I swiftly tilted my head to avoid it and gave him an elbow strike. Pinulupot ko ang isa kong paa sa may likod niya’t pinatong naman ang isa bilang suporta para masipa siya. Tumalsik ako pero mas malakas ‘yong impact sa kanya. Hindi pa ako nakuntento ay nilapitan ko ulit siya, pinaharap siya sa akin at naupo ako sa may dibdib niya. With a poker face, I clenched my right hand with spiked brass knuckles and directly punched him on the face. Agad bumulwak ang dugo nang alisin ko na ang brass knuckles. Bahagya pa akong napapikit nang matalsikan ako
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVMy mother had been raped and wanted to abort me. Is that to say... I'm a mistake? She doesn't want to be with me from the start? Napilitan lang ba siya dahil sa ama ko na umako ng responsibilidad?And... it was because of a friend of my father's.So, my father isn't my biological father? I was born as a result of rape rather than their love?What the f*cking hell?!Dala ng pagkataranta ay muntikan pang masira ang tape nang mapagdesisyunan ko ulit na panoorin ito. My hands were shaking and my heartbeat’s getting faster as the video goes on. Naghintay akong matapos ang buong video, hoping that they will tell the name of the rapist, but they didn’t.I repeated the video numerous times with tears in my eyes, afraid to accept the truth. F*ck. I'm not going to believe them. This is not true. They are my biologic
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVIt’s Anderson’s hand.Kilalang-kilala ko ang hugis ng kamay ni Anderson at ang mga singsing na sinusuot niya. That hand inside the glass vase with water that became bloody red because of the blood is clearly Anderson’s. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali o mamalik-mata lang. Gayunpaman, gusto kong paniwalaan ang isang ilusyon na kamay lang iyon ng isa sa mga kalaban na lumusob dito.F*ck. What did they do to him? What happened?Bigla akong napahawak sa ulo ko nang biglang bumalik sa alaala ko ang nangyari sa foster parents ko. They snipped their tongue. They made them suffer before taking their lives. And I was able to witness the horrible and brutal murder of those sick bastards to my second family once more, and Anderson was there to save me. He... saved me several times, but I couldn't save him when he needed it the most, and seeing his hand ma
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"Allisa! Good god, I’ve been waiting for your call! Are you okay? Where are you?"Napasapo ako sa sentido ko at napabuntong-hininga. Sa halip na matuwa ako sa pag-aalala niya ay mas nainis pa ako. Sanay na ako sa ka-oahan niya pero nakakainis pa rin talaga minsan lalo na’t kung wala ka rin sa mood para intindihin ang mga bagay. F*ck. I’ve been on the edge because of that guy, but I can’t bring myself to show it to anyone."I’m fine, Anderson. We’re in Maldives—""What?!"I closed my eyes tightly."But we’re going home tomorrow.""May nangyari ba?"Mangha ako sa pagiging alerto ni Anderson. He really knows the timing if there’s something wrong with me. O sadyang alam niya lang talaga na lapitin ako ng gulo.
