Hindi ako natinag. I already expected this. I would probably flinch or gasp if it's my real name… but nah. They still guessed it wrong.
"Release me before I pull you to your downfall." My teeth gritted in anger. Nagpumiglas ako para sana makalapit sa kanya pero sadyang mahigpit ang pagkakatali sa akin ng mga gagong ito.
Napatawa si Guillame na siyang sinundan naman ng mga ulol na tauhan niya. "Tell me, Sam, how can you do that in that situation of yours? Hanga na talaga ako sa katapangan mo pero tingnan mo kung saan ka dinala ng katapangan mo. Sa tingin mo ay makakalabas ka pa ng buhay dito?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes. In this terrible world, all I have is courage and confidence to save myself. I don't want to appear weak in front of my enemies. They'll simply use it against me. And, in order to prevent the loneliness that is gnawing at me, I must co

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVNanlaki ang mga mata ni Guillame. Galit na galit na siya nang lapitan ako at sakalin. I can feel my veins popping in my neck and head yet I still manage to smile. I find it pathetic, eh. Galit siya dahil sa akin o sa sarili niya? Gusto niya lang iyong ibuntong sa akin, whom he considered me as a threat. Hindi ba’t napakababaw ng dahilan kung bakit umuusbong ang gulo?Takot malamangan. That’s all there is to it.Pahigpit nang pahigpit ang pagsakal niya sa akin habang mataman lang kaming nakatingin sa mata ng isa't isa, tila nagpapahiwatig at nagpaparating ng isang mensahe. It lasted for minutes before he released me. I coughed because of the tightness of his grip. Habang binabawi ko ang lakas ko ay bigla na lang akong kinalasan ng isang tauhan niya. Now, I'm free. This is as easy as I expected."Ang dali mo lang palang makuha, Guillame. I'm quite i

LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV"Are you okay, L?"I immediately darted my gaze to Bamboo. Binigyan ko siya ng mabilis na tango. Holding a clean cloth, I continued wiping off the blood from my head and face."Anyway, I believe everything is fine for the time being. Mr. Langley, congratulations on apprehending Brody Draycot." With a goofy grin on her lips, she gave me two thumbs up. "Pero parang ang bilis ng mga pangyayari. Parang may mali. Ano sa tingin mo?" Napaisip siya at napamasid sa paligid.We're outside of the venue. Maingay at abala ang mga tao. Cars from the cops, investigators, detectives and paramedics can be seen on the road. Karamihan sa tauhan ni Brody at ng Congressman ay namatay. Bilang lang ang mga buhay at sugatan."What's up, bud? Buti hindi ka gaanong napuruhan," si Arum nang bigyan ako ng tapik sa balikat."L!"

LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POVParang gusto kong makapatay ng tao ngayon. Law? Loopholes? Bullsh*t. Ang daming mali, hindi lang nila nakikita dahil mas pinipili nilang magbulagbulagan at magbingibingihan.I'm here as a f*cking witness, not as a suspect. I should give a statement, but it seems like I'm being interrogated instead. Oh, f*ck this hell. Alam ko ang mga galawan ng imbestigador at pulis kaya huwag niya akong tawanan lang diyan.Agad na akong umalis pagkatapos pa ng ilang tanong. Naiwan ulit sina Ark, Leo at Bamboo para asikasuhin ang gagong iyon. Papunta ako sa headquarters ng KH nang matanggap ko ang mensahe ni Bamboo.From: Bamboo The Namby-pambySo, the asshole is free to do his dirty jobs again :)Mas binilisan ko pa ang pagpapatakbo ko hanggang sa makarating na ako sa parking lot.

Occupation, heir of L.V.D Mafia, owner of L&D Holdings and an agent in The KH. Father, Luigi Vortimer Dalzell. Mother, Neomenia Langley-Dalzell. Siblings, none.I placed the folder with Aeron's basic information back on the table, sluggishly and stoically closing it. I pondered it carefully as I leaned back in my swivel chair in my mansion's office."Kulang 'to." I clicked my tongue before looking at Anderson, who was also examining something on his papers."Please read it again, my niece.I know it's simply the basics, but you can find something useful in it. Alam mo namang hindi ako nagdadala ng mga simpleng impormasyon lang."Kinuha ko ulit 'yong folder at binuksan. Binasa ko ulit 'yong

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVIt's been ten years since I last saw our old mansion. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba dapat ang maramdaman ko. Wala namang mawawala sa akin kapag sinubok ko ulit na puntahan iyon — kapag gustuhin ko ulit na alalahanin sila.I will go through the same grief, pain, fear and loneliness again. For a few hours, I will become weak and vulnerable. I will become Deianeira Madigan again.I stopped the engine in front of the huge gate. Lumabas ako sa sasakyan at pinagmasdan ang gate na kinakalawang na at tinutubuan nang mga halaman. Kahit ang sementong pader na nakapalibot sa bahay ay sira-sira na.Umabante ako't napatigil. The gates' locks were already broken. I felt the chill of the metal when I touched it to open the gate, along with the air. Nang biglang umihip ng malakas ang hangin ay naramdaman ko ang sandaling pag-indayog ng mahabang buhok ko. Bumuntong-hininga

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"Aeron..."He gazed at me coldly till a grin formed on the side of his lips."From now on, you're indebted to me, Deianeira." Sinuri niya ang sugat niya sa kamay at agad napamura nang makita iyon.I made a face. Tumayo ako't agad naramdaman ang sakit ng katawan dahil sa mga natamo ko ring sugat."You were the one who began the fight." Blaming him is the only way for me to feel better about myself.He gave mea quiet chuckle. "So it's now my fault, my lady? I entered this house with no malice, since, like you, I'm also interested about a lot of things going on in our life.""Our life? Anyway, why do you have a gun?""For protection, of course. Tandaan mo na ikaw ang unang bumaril nang wala pa akong ginagawang mali.""You entered this house and that's y

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVThe rear heavy hand landed a cross-impact on my left face and jawline, followed by a jab, resulting in the classic one-two combo.F*ck.I relaxed my neck muscles in order to maintain my strength and guarantee that my muscles in my hands were ready to respond against successful blows from the enemies. The power of my blows on his face and body caused him to bounce back and forth like a speed bag in all its splendor. Soon enough, he met the ground. Hindi pa ako nakuntento kaya ilang beses ko pang sinipa ang lecheng pagmumukha niya. Naisahan ako ng gago.Napahawak ako sa panga ko. Agad akong napangiwi nang maramdaman ang sakit. I licked my bottom lip and I felt the familiar sweet taste of blood on my wound. Napatingin ako sa likod ko nang maramdaman ang mga bagong presensiya. I spit on the ground and created a smirk before attacking another bunch of weak men.

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"Deianeira," Aeron quietly whispered my name as he touched my hair and wrapped me in his arms.Nakahiga kami sa kama, akap ang bawat isa habang walang saplot ang mga katawan, tanging makapal na comforter lang ang nakatakip sa amin."Hmm?" I responded in a murmur, my eyes still closed, enjoying this moment with my man.This is our normal mood every morning after a long and hard day of making love, cuddling, and talking. With this, I found relief in my chaotic life. I found my other half with him, which is unfathomable. Oo, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala. Everything felt so surreal. Kaya minsan ay mas gugustuhin ko na lang magkulong sa kuwarto kasama siya nang hindi binibitawan ang bawat isa dahil baka bigla itong dumulas mula sa pagkakahawak ko at bumalik sa dati ang lahat."The colors in your eyes give you power and bravery," he added.

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

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

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.

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.
