Third person's point of viewNasa old manor si Finn Dixon ng kaniyang adaptive parents. It's been a year since Finn went there. He wanted to reminisce about the past. Kahit papaano ay na miss din niya ang mga magulang na kumupkop sa kanya. Sa isip niya parang gusto nalang niyang bumalik sa pagkabata, na yung adoptive parents lang niya ang kasama, silang tatlo lang. Sagabal kasi ang kapatid niyang babae bakit pa kasi siya dumating. Finn would never forget the first time he stepped foot inside Carter's manor. He was a foster child and had been abused. Luckily, Carter's couple stopped by the private foster homes. Nalaman nila ang kwento ng bata, kaya kinuha muna nila ito pansamantala para alagaan. Finn was overjoyed that someone had decided to take care of him, he had yearned for that to happen."Hello, your name is Finn, right?" Mrs. Carter asked the little boy, who was seven years old. "Yes, po," the cute little boy muttered. He was shy and so cute that Mrs. Carter wanted to adopt hi
Maddox's point of viewPagkatapos kong ihatid si Sariel sa bahay ni Nyx ay pinuntahan ko kaagad si Kenzie. Marami rin siyang utang na information sa akin."Yow, the Finnshole is on the move. I have an intriguing tea, look," Kenzie expressed. Ipinakita niya sa akin ang laptop na may picture ni Finn, he's getting out of his car. This assholé is really enjoying his life, is he? Kapag talaga nakita ko siya ipapakain ko, 'yung mga pinapada niyang threat sa akin. "Where is that place?" I ask. Sabay upo sa katabi niyang upuan. We are here now at the rest house in my office. "Somewhere around the downtown of Carter's Valley. And—I can't find him after that simply because someone is blocking my system. Damn. Feeling ko tuloy naging bobó na ako," Kenzie gasps frustratingly. Napailing nalang ako sa ka-oahan niya. "Where's Lowe?""Kasama si Sunny, bebe time, ata," he says as he gets up. And he pulled out a folder from the storage and handed it to me. Kinuha ko naman kaagad, nang buksan ko ito
Sariel's point of viewNandito na kami ngayon sa Jungle K, grabe, imbis kasi na pinapaganda 'yung kalikasan para kabuhay-buhay naman tingnan, pero sa ginagawa nila pinapatay nila ng unti-unti. "Damn. Hiking ba talaga 'to? Grabe kakaiba talaga si Sariel," Kenzie whispers, pero narinig ko naman. Napailing nalang ako sa kanya. Sa almost one month na pagsasama naming lahat, parang nasaulo ko na rin ang ugali nila. "Puro ka talaga reklamo, maglakad ka nalang kaya ano? Makakita ka sana ng ahas at tuklawin ka," sabat naman sa kanya ni Lowe. Tsk. Sa pagkaka-alam ko pareho lang silang dalawa, e. Naglalakad na kami papuntang northway, meron kasi doon na paakyat, ito kasing nilalakaran namin ay meron pang mga green grass. Doon naman sa northway, pagdating mo doon sa may starting hill, doon mo na makikita kung saan nag-umpisa ang sunog.Paakyat yun, bahala na sila kung magrereklamo sila. Basta ako aakyat ako. Kahit gapangin ko pa paakyat okay lang sa akin. Kasama ko naman si Maddy, siya nga yu
Sariel's point of viewPagkatapos naming mag-icebreaker, ay sa wakas, nakarating din sa pinaka tuktok, gusto lang talaga namin makita yung tanawin sa baba, pero yung gamit namin naiwan dun sa babá. Ako 'yung nagmamadali at eksayted kanina pero, ako pa 'yung nahuli sa pag-akyat. Nakakapagod pala talaga, kaya ramdam ko na yung nararamdaman ng iba, na kanina pa nagrereklamo. Ginapang ko ulit paakyat kanina at sumasakit na yung paa ko. Hinubad ko ulit yung Birkenstock ko, baka kasi masira, mahal pa naman nun. Dakilang shunga kasi ako, ganda ng outfit ng madam, e, hindi pang hiking. "Wow, this is it? It's really nice to be here," exclaims Kaelyn, grinning as she records a video with her expensive phone. "Yeah, thanks to ate Sera, this is my first time hiking," Aster said, turning to give me a wink."Edi, lagi na nating gagawin sa susunod kasi iba na yung may-ari, yeah?" Kenzie spat. Of course, hindi siya magpapaiwan at may irerebat talaga 'yan. "Tsk. It doesn't mean that I'm now the ow
Third person's point of viewMaddox and Sariel head straight to their little tents since they don't want to keep holding back their desire for each other. Bibinyagan daw, kasi nila si Mother Nature. Bakit daw hindi nila subukan na magkaroon ng isang romantikong pagtatagpo sa labas ng kanilang tent? They enjoy going on adventures. Napagpasyahan nilang simulan ang kanilang sesyon ng pagkanta at pagsayaw sa likod ng malaking nasunog na puno after noticing something intriguing there.Hindi na kasi alam ni Maddox kung ano ang gagawin niya kay Sariel dahil malikot ang pag-iisip nito. Kaya wala siyang choice kundi pagbigyan ang babae, kung ano man ang ninanais nito. Si Sariel naman ay nasasabik sa paghila o pagmamadali nila sa pagbabá. Hi di na siya makapag hintay kung ano ba ang gagawing punishment sa kanya ni Maddox. "You are so eager to do something unpleasant, now that we are here, we must provide some blessings across to Mother Nature. And you must obey all of what I have to say. Now
Third person's point of viewIt doesn't take long for Maddox's muscles to tighten up again when Sariel brings him dangerously close to the edge. Maddox's head tips move closer to the middle of Sariel's throat through his thrusts as his cock stretches in the corners of her mouth, while he starts shaking his hips. Malapit na siyang labasan at ang kailangan lang gawin ni Sariel ay lunukin lahat ng katas nito, at sisiguraduhin niyang walang malalaglag kahit isang patak ng juices nito."Yes, baby, keep doing that; I'm cumming, and you have to savor every drop of my juices," Maddox growls. Gustuhin man niyang tumingala pero hindi niya ginawa, kailangan niyang makita si Sariel kung paano niya simutin ang katas nito. Kaya nakipagtitigan siya rito, habang patuloy pa rin silang umiindayog. He shrugs it off. Sariel feels like she can't swallow him down swiftly enough as his cum pours down her throat, and Maddox's entire system rattles with tremendous intensity. She swallows thoroughly and consu
Maddox's point of viewBago kami maghihiwalay lahat ay sininsayan ko muna mga kapatid ko at mga kaibigan, na kailangan muna naming mag-usap. "Parang masama ang kutob ko rito, something is wrong, do you think it's related to Finn's doing?" Agad na tanong ni Kenzie ng makalapit na silang lahat. Huminga ako ng malalim at tiningnan muna ang kinaroroonan nina Sariel at mga kapatid ko. Hindi pweding ngayon siya aatake, dahil kasama ko ang mga mahahalagang tao sa buhay ko. "This can't be, I think someone is on us right now, and why Sunny? Hindi naman siya related sa atin, hindi naman big deal 'yun dahil ako lang ang target ni Finn," I say, gritting my teeth and my jaw clenched. "Pero kuya, he says that idadamay niya 'yung mga malalapit sayo at mahal mo sa buhay, and Sunny is with us, he's Lowe's girlfriend," Kenzie retorts. I crossed my arms and sneered. Imbis na mag-enjoy kami ay nauwi pa sa hide and seek. Pero duda ako si Finn talaga ang may kagagawan nito. He's the one with the guts to
Maddox's point of view It's been twelve hours, hindi kami masyadong nakatulog, dahil nag-paplano kami kung paano namin mahuhuli si Finn at kung paano namin maililigtas si Sunny na hindi siya masasaktan ni Finn, pero hindi pa rin kami sigurado if nandun siya. Chandler and Leigh have also joined us. We only ask for their opinions, not wanting to come in here, but they insist on being here. So, who am I to turn down their offer of assistance?"Hey, there's no specific time, na nakalagay kung anong oras tayo pupunta?" Tanong ni Knight. "Wala naman, pero ako nalang muna yung papasok sa abandunadong building na 'yun. Bantayan nyo nalang if meron pa ba siyang mga tauhan na nakapaligid," I say, pulling out the Glock to hide it on my back. I'm wearing a white shirt and a black leather jacket. "Wait, you're going to enter that abandoned building alone? No way, I can accompany you," sabat ng kapatid kong si Lowe. "Oh, come on, my dear brother, that's so sweet of you. I really appreciate it,
Sariel's point of view The closure that I've been looking for has come to an end, and Maddox and I are no longer in any danger. It's been a long time. Now we are in the city of Amsterdam. It was at the narrow bridge that Maddox made his second proposal to me. Wala ng mas makakapagpigil sa kanya, e. Tinotoo talaga 'yung biro na mag-propose 'ulit. As for my mother, she has decided to remain in this wonderful place permanently. She has found a Dutch partner here, and I will always be there to support her. She has earned the right to have a life with the man she loves now and to take care of each other, but I will never forget about my father. Gusto ko lang ulit sumaya si mommy gayong siya nalang mag-isa. Ayaw din naman niyang sumama sa amin ni Maddox. I am currently six months pregnant, and Maddox is such a sharp shooter. My second baby, and it's a girl. Minsan nga pinaparinig ko, na sana siya nalang ang nagbuntis kasi ang hirap naman 'yun. Well, I set aside those thoughts. For
Sariel's point of view Everything is going smoothly fine, but when Maddox stormed into my house one day, It feels like we are back again at our storming bekering. "Wow? Akala ko ba nakapag-usap na tayo? Hindi pa pala sapat 'yun. Ano pa bang gusto mo?" "Yeah, I thought so. But you know what? I'm waiting for you to tell me that Mason is my son, but you didn't. So when are you going to tell me that? When he's old and not really knowing me as his father?" He spat. Napatahimik naman ako sa sinabi niya. Hindi ko naman akalain na mas mauuna pa niyang malaman, 'to na dapat ay ako ang nagsasabi sa kanya. It's just that naghahanap lang ako ng timing. Ngayon sana kaso 'yung timing ng pagpunta niya rito sa bahay parang kidlat, ang bilis. Huminga ulit ako ng malalim at tinitigan siya. Buti nalang wala rito ang anak ko, kasama niya si mommy gumala. "So? Can we talk in a calm manner?" I ask, tilting my head. "I'm calm!" He yelled, and I raised my brows at him. "Why are you yelling now?"
Sariel's point of view Well, every day feels different now. Maddox's comments don't intimidate me. Instead, I'm moving forward with what's going to happen. Nakakapagod ng takbuhan ang mga pangyayari, parang lumalala lang nga, e. Palagi nalang kami nagsisisihan. Parang walang katapusan. My phone buzzed. Nang tingnan ko kung ano ay ganun nalang ang pagkunot ng noo ko. Talaga lang ha. Pinaalala pa talaga. Wala na nga atang pakiramdam ang lalaking 'yun. What if nandoon pala ang asawa at anak niya? Tsk. Bahala na nga. 'Meet me at the Jungle K; I know you remember where it is. The place you're held captive with' That was his text message. If he wasn't my son's father, maybe I'd kill him already. Kill him with my love then; I don't want to be brutal anymore. Shame on me. There's a lot of memories in there, Jungle K, that poured out of my heart, expressing my regret and my desire for something or longing. I'm sitting in our modest living room, the moonlight filtering through th
Third person's point of view As Lowe, Mason, and Sariel finished their food, Sariel's son excused himself to go to the bathroom. Lowe and Sariel volunteer to accompany him, but Mason says that he can handle himself. See? Sariel's baby boy is kind of an independent na talaga. Hinayaan nalang siya ni Sariel, masisilayan naman niya ito papunta kung nasaan man ang bathroom. Tsaka, this is a luxurious resto, so Sariel is expecting that there's no bad, evil people lurking there. Lowe, on the other hand, has already seen his brother and is concealing his expression to prevent Sariel from noticing it. Baka mahambalos na talaga siya nito. Initially, Lowe had stated that he would not interfere in their relationship. However, upon witnessing his brother and Sariel's intense longing for each other, despite their denial, Lowe decided to intervene. As for Mason, he's already in the bathroom, one of the cubicles, and once he's done. He got out jumping a little bit; he just was hyper about the f
Sariel's point of view After those incidents happened, I've been contemplating what to do. I didn't answer well to my son's question, and I don't like to lie to him either. I need to talk to Lowe. I know he's here because he followed me back to the Philippines after my flight. I'm about to call Lowe, but it seems luck is on me right now; he's calling me already. I swiped the answer button, put the phone in my ear, and walked back to my room. I just checked on my son, and he's still asleep. It's Sunday today, and later in the afternoon we're going to visit sister Jane. "Hey, whats up?" Lowe greeted. I open the door, push it back with my foot, and then head to my bed to settle in. I heave a deep sigh. What should I tell him, then? "Oh, ano na? Parang ang laki naman ata ng problema mo niyan, ah. Abot pa ata rito 'yung pag buntong hininga mo ng malalim," he exclaims and laughs out loud at the other line. I snorted and rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see it. "Scram, tawang
Sariel's point of view After six years, my son has grown up, and I and my mother raised him in the United States for those six years. I was called to the company that my uncle had previously run when it was brought back with us when he was arrested 6 years ago. We'd like to thank our lawyer for that. Now that six years have passed, I'm experiencing mixed emotions. For those six years, there has been someone I trust at the company, so I don't have any concerns. However, right now, they really need me in the company, so I don't have a choice but to bring my mother and son back to the Philippines. I began running the business right away once we got to the Philippines. I'm currently in traffic on my way to pick up my son from school. I merely sighed and drummed my fingers on the stirring wheel, signaling that I was anxious right now. I’m simply frightened that he’ll come out again and wait in the waiting shed, despite the fact that there are guards outside. I’m just concerned that
Sariel's point of view In order to get away from all that was going on in the Philippines, my mother and I settled down in Amsterdam and purchased property there. And now we live in Amsterdam, where we are able to repair the scars that have been in my heart. I was able to kill time by creating whatever I wanted, including a cake, a cookie, and whatever else I desired. There is a small bakery that we own; although it is small, people adore it and absolutely enjoy all of my baked goods. But the only thing that worries me is that a month after I found out I'm pregnant, I'm happy because Maddox is the father of the child. However, I plan to keep it a secret from him, as he harbors a deep-seated hatred for me and believes that retaliation is always on the horizon. Nakaramdam naman ako ng symptoms, pero binaliwala ko lang sa inaakala na palagi lang akong pagod for baking. Kaya nang hindi ko na kinaya nagpacheck-up na ako, kasama ko si mommy. The fruit that happens is the night wher
Sariel's point of view I dialed my mother's number, the second ring, when she picked up. "Hello, dear? You already decided what to do?" She greeted. "Yup? Ready to kidnap me?" I playfully chuckle to myself. "Right away. Wait for me." She chirps, then the call ends. I make sure to leave the less important items behind and bring only the essentials. Isang backpack lang 'yung dala ko. Hindi ko naman balak ipaglandakan na maglalayas ako, na sana aakalain nila na namasyal lang ako rito sa Jungle K. I will miss this place so much. My phone beeps, and when I see my mother's text messages, I cautiously and silently stroll around the back of the house, taking care not to be noticed. They're still in the living room. Nasa hindi lang kalayuan ai mommy hinihintay ako, nagpa booked lang siya ng Grab. Dadaan lang kami kahit sandali sa puntod ni daddy para magpaalam. Nang makalabas na ako ng bahay ay napahinga ako maluwag, buti naman at hindi nila ako napansin. Tinakbo ko na ng tuluy
Sariel's point of view Lumapit nalang ako sa kanila at umupo sa harap ni Maddox. Hindi ko na tinapunan ng tingin ang babae na kanina pa nakatitig simula nang lumingon siya sa akin. Yay, pangit na ba ako sa paningin niya? Namamaga pa kasi ang mga mata ko. Maddox didn't mind it, though. My stomach became more sour as I stared at the prepared foods. My gaze flew to Maddox when he started to speak. "This is Winona, Sariel, and Winona, that's Sariel." He gestures back toward me and Winona. "Winona will be staying here for a moment. Nasa Cebu pa kasi si Meli kasama si Aster, kaya walang makakasama si Winona, I just can't let her stay alone in the hotel. She's just here for a vacation," he explained her reason for being here. I shrug my shoulders, not caring if she stays here or not. Bahay naman niya 'to. "Sure, nice meeting you. Feel free to roam around as you wish. Just don't mind me." I look up at Winona and smile at her. She just smiled back at me. "Thank you, Sariel. Nice mee
