Ipinasa sa akin ni Monique ang shot. Pulang pula na ang mukha niya.
"Hindi ko na kaya. Sa tingin ko masusuka na ako." Anito habang nakahawak sa bibig.
Natawa ako at tumingin kay Jacob.
Monique's friends were cheering for me. Except for one person.
Faith.
Nagkibit balikat ako at tinulak si Jacob paupo sa stool.
He stopped me by holding on to my waist.
What? Don't be a killjoy." I said and unbuttoned three buttons of his polo.
"That will be your last shot." Babala niya at pinaupo ako sa kandungan

Kabanata Dalawampu't Siyam"Love, ayos ka lang ba?" Napakurap ako nang marinig ko ang boses ni Jacob.Hindi ko napansin na nakatingin lang pala ako sa karagatan ng ilang minuto."Y-yes." I fake a smile and held his hand.I was bothered by Jessy's text message last night. I tried calling her but she declined all of my calls. She texted that she wanted to talk in person when we get back to Manila.Bumuntong hininga ako.Iba ang pakiramdam ko."I don't want to leave that island." Bulong ni Jacob.“Ako rin." Sagot ko at ipinatong ang ulo ko sa balikat niya.

KABANATA TATLUMPUInayos ko ang cap na suot ko habang hinihintay ang paggalaw ng sasakyan ni Leo. Gumagamit ako ng isang lumang toyota corolla para sundan siya. Nabili ko ito noong nakaraang linggo para lamang sa misyon na ito.I'm spaying on Leo Montes.Kailangan kong malaman ang lokasyon ni Arturo Montes gamit ang kanyang sariling anak.Sphinx was having a hard time locating that evil.He has been careful since our encounter in Cebu.I heard from Leo's bugging device that he will go see his Dad today to ask for help to find me. There, I'm sure that Arturo Montes was the one who was behind the death threat that I got.

Kabanata Tatlumpu't Isa"Can you stop staring?" Natawa ako ng hindi maalis ni Jacob ang tingin sa akin."Tell me how? I'm afraid that this was all a dream. A very sweet dream indeed." Aniya at hinalikan ang noo ko.I let out a small groan when he enveloped me with his muscles."What are your plans tomorrow?" Tanong niya.Naaalala ko ang boses ni Sphinx na nagsasabi sa akin na dapat kong makipagkita kay Mamba bukas.I forgot to text her, damn.I was so excited to be here with him and I forgot the world."May meeting ako bukas. At ikaw?" Balik na tanong ko.

Kabanata Tatlumpu't Dalawa"He's charming." Aunt poked my waist."You were not the first to tell me that." Natawa ako habang pinapanood silang mag laro ng basketball."I like this guy." Uncle commented and gave Aunt a cup of coffee."You like him because he talks business like you." Sagot ni Auntie."What's wrong with that? He's an Architect in a successful company. Ma aalagaan niya ng maayos ang pamangkin mo.” Sagot ni Uncle at tumingin sa akin.Nawala ang ngiti ko."I can take care of myself, Uncle. I don't need a man to do that for me." Sagot ko."Sweetheart, Cindy's r

Kabanata Tatlumpu't tatloThe operation is successful but the waiting game is not yet over. Limang oras na ang nakalilipas mula ng matapos ang operasyon pero wala pa ring malay ang kapatid ko."Babe." Jacob handed a cup of coffee to me."Thanks." Umupo siya sa tabi ko at inakbayan ang balikat ko."Magiging okay siya." Ngumiti siya sa akin at hinayaan akong sumandal sa balikat niya."I know he will. Calen is a tough guy. He already endured a lot of pain because of our parent's death. He didn't deserve this." Pinigilan ko ang luha ko.Ayoko ng umiyak. Gusto kong maging malakas para sa mga tao sa paligid ko.Nakita ko a

Kabanata Tatlumpu't apatHinila ko ang kamay ni Jessy mula sa sugat ko."Sinabi mo ba kay Jacob?" Tanong ko."Syempre hindi! Can you just think about yourself first? Tingnan mo ang ginawa mo! Muntik ka nang tamaan sa ulo!” Sigaw niya sa mukha ko."Huwag kang sumigaw. Sumasakit ang ulo ko." Sabi ko at tumingin sa side mirror.Hinampas niya ang manibela.She looked so frustrated.I am too.I must admit that Arturo Montes is smarter than his son."You knew I was Phoenix all along?" Tanong ko ulit.

Kabanata Tatlumpu't limaNakatingin lang sa amin si Jacob. Sinubukan kong kausapin siya pero hindi naman siya nakikinig.Bumuntong hininga ako.Gusto kong sabihin sa kanya ang lahat ng totoo ngunit natatakot din ako. Natatakot ako na hindi niya ako maintindihan.He knew about my past but he barely knew my present life.Hindi ko alam kung matatanggap niya ako bilang isang vigilante.He stood up when Jessy finished cleaning my wound again.“I know that's not a cut. Huwag mo na akong gawing tanga. He said and stormed out of the room.“Jacob wait!” I shouted

Kabanata Tatlumpu't Anim"Girl, you still have time to say goodbye." Jessy urged me.We were inside a rented car. It was fully tinted so my family won't see us.Nakita kong niyakap ni Jacob si Calvin. May binulong siya dito na ikina ngiti ng kapatid ko."Baka nagbago ang isip ni Calen pag makita niya ako. Okay lang, Jessy. Tinanggap ko na ang sitwasyon namin. Never silang magiging ligtas kasama ko." I replied not leaving my eyes away from the scene.She rubbed my back and didn’t say a thing.Binuksan ni Eric ang pintuan ng van. Ang lahat ng aming mga guard makakasama nila.My former American guards will also be

Tanong niya gamit ang mapupungay na mga mata.Paano naman ako makakahindi? Bumuntong hininga ako at tumango."But first we have to make a deal. Walang paglalaro sa loob ng theater okay?” Kailangan nating panoorin at suportahan si Ate Chelsey." Sabi ko at sinara ang zipper ng violin bag ng panganay ko.Today is her recital.Amethyst jumped in joy and ran to the door."Careful baby." Si

Kabanata Limampu Cindy couldn’t stop crying. I hit my forehead using my palm. “Babe our daughter might think that I made you cry. Huminahon ka.” Sabi ko at hinawakan ang mukha niya. I wiped the tears away from her beautiful eyes. “You did make me cry!” Aniya at tinulak ang dibdib ko. Umupo ako sa tabi niya. "Hindi ko naisip na iiyak ka. Hush now, please. I turned my back on that job years ago.” Sabi ko at hinimas himas ang likod niya. "Hindi mo din sinabi sa akin ang tungkol sa pagiging vigilante mo. What you have done was more dangerous than my job.” Mahinahon kong paliwanag. Ayokong sabayan ang pag tatampo niya. I al

"Be a good boy and I will teach you how to charm girls." Sabi ko at tinuro ang susunod na kanto. "Girls are complicated." Aniya at napakamot sa batok. "Saan talaga tayo pupunta?" Tanong niya. Tumingin ako sa side view mirror. Halos wala talagang nagbago sa bayang ito. "Just drive. Malapit na tayo." I said as I read the town's name on my mind. 'Welcome to San Rafael'

Kabanata Apatnapu't Walo Makalipas ang limang taon. "Jake please, tigilan mo na ang pagtatrabaho sa bahay!" Jessica crossed her arms in front of me. She's pouting her lips like a brat that she is. "Hindi ako pupunta sa party, Jessica. May appointment ako bukas sa guidance counselor ni Calvin." Sabi ko at minasahe ang gilid ng ulo ko. Napa away na naman si Calvin last week. I sighed as I remembered his reason. 'I won't stop fighting until Ate comes back!' Si Calvin ang sakit ng ulo ko sa kanilang tatlo. Siguradong namana niya ito sa At

Kabanata Apatnapu't pito "Hindi ka ba nagpaalam sa kanila?" Tanong ni Lindsey habang pinapatulog ang anak. Umiling ako at ngumiti lang. Jacob fist bumped Carlo and Calvin. Calen was on the side of his girlfriend. He could walk again without the help of anybody. Jacob waved goodbye to my Aunt and Uncle as he entered his car. Ngayon ang unang araw niya sa kumpanya namin. Uncle assigned him as the new acting CEO. I am so proud of him. "Cindy, alam mong tatanggapin ka nila. Pamilya mo sila." Sabi pa ni Lindsey. Humarap ako sa kanya.

"Masayang-masaya ako na nandito kayong lahat." Bulong ko sabay yakap sa kanila. "Congrats Ate." Sabi ni Calen. Tumango ako at humarap sa kanila. I pinched Calvin's rosy cheek. "I miss you all." Hinayaan kong batiin ako ng bawat tao sa silid bago sila mag paalam umalis. I f

Kabanata Apatnapu't Lima I blinked two times to adjust my vision. I heard a commotion outside of the door. Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa buong kwarto. Wala sina Jacob at Jessy. I blinked again but my vision didn’t improve. I raised my hand to see a needle in my arm. I pushed myself up. Nasaan sila? Sinubukan kong iunat ang aking likuran pero isang biglang sakit ang naramdaman ko. "Shit. It stings." I cursed. Nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko. The door opened slowly, Jacob walked in with an angry face. He looked straight to me. His

Kabanata Apatnapu't Apat Hawak ni Jacob ang aking mga kamay habang binibigkas niya ang kanyang mga pangako. “...to have and to hold, to honor you, to treasure you, and to love and cherish you always. I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life.” Ngumiti siya at hinalikan ang aking mga kamay. Pinunasan ko ang luhang tumulo sa pisngi niya. He mouthed ‘I love you’ as I recite my vows to him. I stopped and hugged him tight. “Read your vows properly. You’re stuttering.” I heard him curse quietly as he pushed me off of him. Napatakip ako ng bibig nang makita ko ang mukha ni Leo sa harapan ko

Kabanata Apatnapu't Tatlo I still couldn't believe that Mina died because of my recklessness. Kinulong ulit ako ni Leo sa loob ng silid. He just left a glass of water in a paper cup. Tinanggal ng kanyang mga tauhan ang lahat ng babasagin at metal na bagay sa loob ng silid. I closed my eyes, thinking of my brothers. If I die in Leo's hands they will be traumatized for the rest of their life. I sighed as I think of ways on how to escape this hell hole. My feet and my one wrist were tied up again. I reached for the paper cup and drank all of the water. I need a clear mind now. Napangiwi ako nang makita ko ang mga sugat ko. Pinikit ko ulit ang aking mga mata at ini
