Mabilis 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

I f*cking doubt that."Get your hands off me. It's too early to make a scene here," I said, gritting my teeth as I faced the media.Bigla akong napahawak sa kamay niya nang mas higpitan niya pa ang hawak sa baywang ko. He even pulled me closer for him to whisper something so annoying."You're mine, remember?"I rolled my eyes. "No, I'm not.""Do you want me to provoke you by telling you the reason why, my lady?" Pinasadahan niya ng haplos ang baywang ko pababa sa may puwetan ko."Don't you dare." I tightened my grip on my pouch, wanting so bad to punch his freaking face.

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVMy face became serious. He's here to protect Abramovich as a member of the KH. Ibig sabihin ay makakalaban ko siya. Then, good. Magkakaroon ako ng pagkakataon na patayin sila pareho.Bumitaw ako sa pagkakahawak ng kamay niya. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned against his side. My one hand moved down to his back, feeling his thick muscles beneath his suit, while my other hand caressed his nape as if going for a kiss. When I felt his hardness before letting out a long breath, I couldn't help but smirk."A dance won't stop me, Aeron." Ako naman ngayon ang tumukso sa kanya. Before I could claim his lips, I stroked my left cheek against his and looked him in the eyes. I noticed how he parted his lips as a result of it. Tsk. Asshole.Pinaikot niya ako bigla gamit lamang ang dalawa niyang kamay na nakahawak sa baywang ko. His nose traced my jaw as he let

For f*ck's sake, I'm the only one who has the power to touch her and talk to her like that. Puwede bang ako na lang ang pumatay sa matandang ito ngayon din? Damn it!"Try me, Mr.–"F*ck!"May I have this dance, my lady?" Nilahad ko agad sa kanya ang kamay ko. Nakita ko naman kung paano siya natigilan. Oh, did I just ruin your dirty hidden agenda, my lady?

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVAgad nagsibabaan ang mga pulis sa mga sasakyan. Tinutukan nila ako ng baril habang nakaposisyon sila sa sasakyan para maprotektahan nila ang mga sarili nila. F*cking stupid cops. Kita naman nilang wala akong kaarmas-armas na dala ngayon. Tsk. Too scared for someone like me, eh?"You need to come with us, Ma'am."Based on his look, I believe he is the Chief of Police. "But first, you need to remove your mask," he says as he walks slowly towards me, the gun pointed at me.I calculated the number of officers and the potential actions I might do to rescue myself. This is a simple task. Cops like them are easily killed.Unti-unti kong tinaas ang kamay ko bilang pagsuko. Nakita ko namang pinaniwalaan nila iyon.

"But I want to know who did this to you. Damn! Ang ayoko sa lahat ay 'yong sinasaktan ang nag-iisa kong pamangkin."Napairap na lang ako. Lumapit pa siya sa akin para alalayan ako papunta sa sofa."Ano ba!" mataray na sita ko sa kanya nang mahawakan niya ako. F*ck. Ang ayoko sa lahat ay 'yong hinahawakan ako kahit na kapamilya ko pa 'yan. Only one person has the authority to do that to me because of his opposing personality and beliefs with mine. Leche. Siya lang ata ang may kayang gumawa niyan sa akin. Siya lang ata ang hinayaan at hahayaan ko.Pagod akong naupo sa sofa. I leaned my back and nape on the back of it then close my eyes.

A Shroud of Secrecy To be Continued...
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

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

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.

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.
