Kasalukuyang nasa harap ng computer si Ryce habang binabasa ang profile ng dating kaklase ni Gabriella na si Jenna.Because something about the woman was bothering him, he decided to do some research and found out that she is working as a personal body guard of Arnaldo Sworche—the owner of Sworche company na pang-apat sa pinakamayaman na kompanya sa bansa.Ryce knew who Arnaldo Sworche is. Minsan na itong humingi ng tulong sakanya bilang Silent Thief na nakawin ang Emerald earrings na pagmamay-ari nang anak ng presidente ng Lionheart Empire.Of course, he didn't agree to do it. He knew that Arnaldo Sworche is a greedy and disgusting old man.Bukod pa doon ay hindi sya yung tipo na basta-bastang nagnanakaw nang walang sapat na rason.Just like the time when he plan to steal the diamond necklace at Hyakidoro empire.That necklace was originally from the mother of a teenage girl named Anne. Her mother was killed dahil gustong bil'hin ng Hyakidoro empire ang kwintas pero hindi ito pumayag
Agent Angel always prefer doing her mission alone.On this mission, she needs to arrest Arnaldo Sworche. Everyone knows that the old man is a criminal, pero dahil marami itong pera ay palagi itong nakakalusot at nakakalaya.The old man murdered 3 innocent teenagers and he also raped a minor, which is unforgivable, but he never get arrested until now just because he has a lot of money.Kung hindi ito kayang parusahan nang batas ay sila ang gagawa. Iyon ang motto ng kanilang agency. She hates injustice. Ang dahilan kung bakit pinili nya ang ganitong trabaho.'Target spotted. Arnaldo Sworche arrived at the building with his Porche car at 7:40pm.'Inilabas nya ang kaniyang baril para pandepensa sa sarili kung sakaling lumaban ito.The target get out of his car kasunod ng kaniyang body guard na babae.Gabriella's eyes grew bigger when she recognized the old man's body guard. Her forehead wrinkled and her mouth slightly parted.Why is Jenna here? Why is she the body guard of that old man? S
It happened almost a year ago.When Agent Angel's mission was to arrest a drug addict woman at a masquerade party. The woman noticed Agent Angel and she found out that she's there to arrest her, so she used a little girl as a hostage and forced the girl's mom to come with her to the parking lot or else she will kill her daughter with the knife she's holding.Pagkarating sa parking lot ay pumasok ito sa kotse kasama ang mag-ina, and to continue her mission, Agent Angel follow their car.Naghabulan ang dalawang kotse ng mahigit tatlumpung minuto hanggang sa nawalan ng kontrol ang kotseng sinasakyan ng tatlo at nahulog ito sa may bangin at saka sumabog.Gabriella remember that scene clearly as she have witnessed it with her own eyes. She remember how her hands and legs shake in anger, fear and regrets...She have regretted accepting that mission. She did regret that she didn't wait for another day to arrest the drug addict woman. Dapat ay hindi sya nagpadalos-dalos na sundan ang kotse at
Pagkarating sa hospital, agad na inoperahan si Jenna sa operating room, at sa kabutihang palad ay naging maayos naman ito.Panay ang pagpapasalamat ni Gabriella sa doktor na umopera sa kaibigan. When she heard the doctor said that her friend is safe, tila nabunutan ng tinik ang dibdib nya.Nilipat si Jenna sa isang kwarto para maayos na makapagpahinga. Dahil wala na itong pamilya at nag-iisa nalang ito ay naisipan ni Gabriella na huwag umalis doon hanggat sa hindi pa ito gumigising.Pagkasilip kay Jenna sa kwarto at nakita itong payapang natutulog ay naisipan nyang umupo sa mahabang upuan sa labas.Her phone rung, her husband is calling. Sinagot nya ang tawag at kinuwento dito ang nangyari kay Jenna. But she didn't tell him all the details katulad na nakita nya itong mabaril sa mismong harapan nya. Before the end of the call, Ryce told her to wait for him dahil pupunta sya sa hospital para dal'han sya ng damit pamalit.As she waits for her husband to arrive, she stares at the ceiling
Bandang alas otso y medya, dumating si Quel sa hospital. Hindi daw kasi sumasagot si Gabriella sa mga tawag nya kagabi kaya hindi sya maayos na nakatulog dahil sa sobrang pag-alala sa kaibigan.He called her again this morning, and finally, Gabriella answered and explained to him over the phone what happened and how her target got arrested by the police.She mentioned Jenna's name and told Quel that the woman got shot last night. Nang magtanong kung saang hospital ito dinala ay hindi ito nagdalawang isip na pumunta para bisitahin at kamustahin ang dating kaklase. He even bought flowers for her.Gabriella noticed Jenna's cheeks turning red dahil tanda nyang meron itong gusto kay Quel noon. But Quel was too blind to notice it dahil si Jewel lang ang laging nasa isip nito."I thought you didn't come to the reunion dahil ayaw mo akong makita.""That's not true... I'm just really busy with my work. At saka, ba't mo naman naisip na ayaw kitang makita kaya hindi ako pumunta? Masyado kang mag
"Niana! 'wag kang tatakbo baka madapa ka!" Sigaw ni lolo Anton sa pitong taong gulang na apo na si Niana nang makarating sila sa bukid kung saan sya nagta-trabaho.Kauuwi palang ng bata galing Amerika at sakanya ito iniwan para bantayan. Makulit, masayahin at madaldal kaya mabilis itong nakahanap ng kaibigan.Katulad nalang ngayon.Hindi pa ito nagtatagal ng isang araw sa bukid ay may nahanap na agad itong mga kaibigan na hindi nalalayo sa edad nya. Her friends' names are Zephanie and Merkely.Masaya silang naglaro ng tago-taguan, habol-habulan. Hanggang sa mapagod silang tatlo kaya niyaya nya ang mga itong kumain kasama ang kaniyang lolo.She's obviously a lolo's girl.Malakas sya dito kaya kada uwi nya ng Pilipinas ay palagi sya nitong ini-spoiled.They ate fried chicken, lumpia at gulay na malunggay. Kumain rin sila ng manga bilang panghimagas.Pagkatapos ay lumabas ulit silang tatlo kasama ang kaniyang lolo para tumambay sa ilalim ng puno at doon nagsimulang magkwento ang kaniyang
Ryce opens the gate, walang tao.Sinara nya ulit ang gate at papasok na sana sa bahay nang muling tumunog ang doorbell.He opens the gate once again and his forehead wrinkled when there's none. He frowned. Is someone pranking him?A few seconds later, he felt something hit his head. When he check what's it, he saw a transparent umbrella."I'm here,"Looking down, he blink twice when he saw a kid.Meron itong suot na bagpack at hawak na payong sa isang kamay. Ito ang ginamit nitong pamalo sakanya at ang ginamit nito pamindot sa doorbell dahil hindi iyon abot ng bata."Sino ka?" Ryce asked the kid with a curious look.He doesn't expect any visitor today. At mas lalong hindi nya inaasahan na meron sakanyang bibisitang bata."Is ate Gabriella inside?"Imbes na sagutin nito ang tanong nya ay nagtanong rin ito. 'So si Gabriella pala ang pakay nito dito.'"Yeah, my wife is inside. Pero anong kailangan mo sakanya? Kaano-ano ka ba nya?"Wala naman siguro itong tinatagong anak mula sakaniya 'd
Gabriella loves spoiling Niana.Iyon ang napansin ni Ryce sa pagsama sa dalawa dahil kahit anong ituro ng bata ay binibili ng kaniyang asawa na walang pagdadalawang isip.Perhaps, Gabriella already sees that coming kaya isinama sya nito para gawing tagabuhat ng mga pinamili nila.Mag-isang pumunta sa parking lot si Ryce at inilagay sa backseat ang mga paper bag na bitbit para makapagpahinga ang kamay nya.Pagkatapos ay bumalik sya sa loob ng mall at malalaki ang hakbang na naglakad papunta sa pwesto kung saan nya iniwan ang magpinsan kanina.May hawak sina Gabriella at Niana na dalawang malaking popcorn at tatlong juice. They were going to watch a movie together. Malapit ng magsimula ang palabas kaya pumasok silang tatlo sa loob ng sinehan.While watching the show, ayaw syang hatian ni Niana sa hawak nitong malaking popcorn. Umupo ito sa gitna nila dahil ayaw nitong magkatabi sila ng kaniyang asawa.Ryce frowned.He could feel that the kid doesn't like him. Did he do some wrong? Bakit
