Clandestine Affair THE TRUTH: Broken Beyond Repair
Derrick checked if Jerson had wounds aside from the wound on his right arm. Derrick sighed. Aside from scratches on Jerson’s left hand, and some contusion on his legs, there were no other serious injuries. He didn’t know where he got the wound from but if his intuition is correct, the day Vishnu and Jerson broke up, Jerson already had the wound. Derrick immediately called Valenn. He explained Jerson’s situation and current condition. The best phrase that fits to describe Jerson best right now was broken beyond repair. He was staring at random places. He couldn’t respond to anyone. “What a pitiful young man,” the lady said. Derrick looked at the old lady as she continued, “I am a retired psychiatrist. This man is lost. Too lost that he couldn’t find himself.” The lady stared at Jerson. “Akinetic Catatonia. This is the most common type of catatonia. Someone with akinetic catatonia often stares blankly and won’t respond when you speak to them. If they do respond, they may only repeat
Clandestine Affair THE TRUTH: Abduction
“This is the command, and he announced that it is absolute," a man said. “It isn’t irrevocable and arbitrary.”Derrick woke up inside the unfamiliar car. Hearing such foreign voices, only a fool could stay ignorant of what was about to happen. He groaned when he moved his body as the electrifying pain made his back suffer. It must be because of the impact of the collision between the two vehicles. He started examining the whole situation. He looked at the window but it was dark all over the place. He could feel the car was moving sideways.Derrick started unbuckling his seatbelt. As he turned his head to overlook his side, he saw the unconscious Jerson. He looked at Jerson in horror as he saw him drenched in blood. What the hell had happened?Derrick unbuckled Jerson’s seat belt and examined Jerson's body. There were deep cuts on Jerson’s back and there were also scratches on his face as if he was beaten up to a pulp. Derrick sighed as he started moving. He started by trying to op
Clandestine Affair GOLDEN LINE: Soviet Kierson Ferrer
“You should get back here before I throw all the documents out of this fucking window, Kierson!" a short man shouted at the top of his lungs. Kierson, the man on the other line, laughed. “Take it easy, will you? I'm dealing with some assholes today."“No! This is your fucking job! I am just your secretary! Why would I do the job of a fucking CEO, motherfucker?!” the short man shouted again. Kierson sighed. “Alright, Harvey. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”Harvey, the short man, snorted and continued doing all of his paperwork. He looked like a panda because his big eyebags were black and visible. Ever since Kierson hired him as the company secretary, he had been working overtime since then. It had been three years already but everything that had happened seemed like yesterday. The Ferrer’s Master died due to a murder. The heir almost died. For months, the Ferrer estate gradually lost its power. The Ferrer fell until Soviet Kierson Ferrer arrived at the Ferrer estate, almost half dea
Clandestine Affair GOLDEN LINE: Law Firm
Two hours later after he signed almost half of the documents that needed his approval, Kierson got himself ready to visit the J&V Company to start discussing their partnership on a project. The Ferrer estate and J&V corporate were planning to build a Law Firm that was supposed to help the poor people in gaining justice. This was a 180 change in the Ferrer’s projects and industries so far as the Ferrer only built a profitable business, not a social enterprise. The Ferrer estate could establish it on their own but the Chairman of the Board and the Board of J&V company insisted on helping them on building it. That's how the alliance with the two companies started. This would be the first time after three years that Kierson would attend a meeting himself. In the past years, Kierson was busy dealing with the people who were against him becoming the heir. He had to deal with them. In the end, those parts of the Board who were against him surrendered. He became the Master of the Ferrer es
Clandestine Affair GOLDEN LINE: Union
“Do I have another choice than to wait for the Director to arrive?” Kierson seriously asked.The person in front pressed his lips, thinking about what to answer that wouldn’t offend Kierson. Having to see how Kierson intimidated the one to present the project, Harvey sighed. “You don’t have to answer that. Let him think of an answer himself,” he stated. Kierson chuckled. “So disrespectful,” he whispered.The door burst open. Kierson looked at Vishnu who was slowly walking towards the seat that was reserved for him. He was looking at the Director indifferently. Behind Vishnu was Derrick. After Vishnu is seated, Noah enters the conference hall with Jane Draco. Still, Kierson remained indifferent. In Harvey’s calculation, this was supposed to be shaking his Boss’ temperance but after seeing Kierson doing all good, he remained on his seat. The people who were the reason why his Boss almost died had attended this meeting and were able to face Kierson without showing any guilt. Shamele
Clandestine Affair GOLDEN LINE: Prey To Hunt
“Don’t you miss me?” Kier asked as soon as he entered the Ferrer mansion. Kierson, who was reading a newspaper while enjoying his coffee, immediately grimaced. “You go inside and out in this mansion like this was yours,” he pointed out. “Anyway, I am sure you have news for me.”Kier plopped on the sofa next to Kierson. “Serve me my tea first,” he demanded. “I am the boss here, Kier.” Kierson put down the newspaper and looked at Kier. “Have you found out where they are hiding the slaves?”Kier snorted. “You’re no fun!” he said. “I was in Paris and the men there were hot. Want to go back with me there to find a hookup?” he asked. Kierson gets the gun behind him. “I was wondering who will be my first target today. I'm glad you’re here.”Kier laughed hysterically as he leaned his head closer to the gun’s muzzle. “This will bring me to a divert heaven I've experienced so far.”Without blinking, Kierson pulled the trigger. The gun clicked but didn’t fire any bullets. Harvey, who had ju
Clandestine Affair GOLDEN LINE: Aid
Kierson spent most of his time at Ferrer's training headquarters. Everything was just making him frustrated that he needed to distract himself from everything. He had to hold onto his sanity. “You have to get ready, Kierson. The party will start soon.”Kierson looked at Kier who was leaning against the wall while he looked at him. He sighed as he pointed the gun at Kier and shot a bullet without a second doubt. The part of the wall over Kier’s head got a big hole. “This is why I hate it when Vishnu and Derrick come into the picture,” he declared as he strode near Kierson. “I know you have psychotic tendencies but please hold yourself together. Or would you rather want to see them triumph after they saw how wrecked you are?”Kierson sighed and got the bottle of water that was on the ground and drank it in one go. “I sometimes just wanted to destroy them at once but I have to investigate everything that my grandfather didn’t tell me. The bastard, Wayne Emerson, is the only person who c
Clandestine Affair GOLDEN LINE: His Remedy
Blake left after Kierson accepted the flash drive. Kierson didn’t want to be involved with Blake and the organization Blake was part of but he was curious.What exactly does Wayne Emerson do to earn such an enormous amount of enemies? Wayne Emerson was gaining more opponents like he was collecting them — like a typical most wanted criminal.But what if this was a trap to catch Kierson? Wayne Emerson likes to play dirty games. This must be one of his schemes. But what if it wasn’t and Blake meant to help him?Kierson leaned his back again against the backrest of his chair and started looking at the throngs of people. There was nothing special. No one caught his attention. No one piqued his interest.Not until Kierson looked up to check the second floor.His old friends were having a great time, drinking some booze. He immediately retreated his eyes and stood up. The scene was nothing special but it hurt his feelings. Not that he wasn’t happy that they were doing okay, unlike him.

Clandestine Affair EPILOGUE
KIERSONI always liked Vishnu and I always will. Obviously, I don't know where it all started. Is it when our first argument happened?Or was it when he saw me jump at the school wall because I was planning to cut classes and he reported it to the principal?Did I fall deeper when we were arguing all the time and chances we had? Am I already whipped when we became friends?Did I fall too hard?Maybe I did. No… I am certain. I did fall harder. It would always be a painful yet happy memory of when my grandfather sent Derrick Emerson to me. I was enthusiastic for Derrick to meet my friends. I was happy when they became close. All those happy memories when I was in high school were with them. I was happy because I am with them…“Jerson,” Vishnu called me. I lazily looked at him as I raised my brows. “What?” I asked. Vishnu smiled cheekily and he squeezed my cheeks. “Guess what? I like someone!”I faked a smile. Of course, I know who it was. “Derrick, was it?” I asked. Though, I was s
Clandestine Affair DARK HORSE: Peacekeeper
“An apology without litigation is just manipulation, Vishnu. Remember this day. You killed this man… you said that you want him dead… and his death was your fault.”Vishnu aggressively shook his head as he clenched his fist while kneeling down. Kierson was really dead and he saw it with his own eyes. Kierson died and it was all his fault. “It’s just funny to see how this man could easily forgive you after everything you’ve done to him. From how you’ve pushed him into his insanity in your senior days up to how you chose Derrick five years ago, and still choose Derrick after neglecting him even though that means he’ll die. Isn’t it worse than dying? Yes?”Every word served as a dagger that pierced his heart. Vishnu grabbed his chest as he felt like his heart was clenching. The scene where Kierson was lying down with his blood on the ground was piercing a hole through his soul. The feeling was unpleasant. The void in his heart kept on getting bigger. Darkness started to invade him. Va
Clandestine Affair DARK HORSE: Never Once Became A Choice
Kierson was all tied up. Valenn was dragging him out of the mansion while Leon and Harvey were on their back — following them. The whole mansion was a hodgepodge. The shattered glasses caused by the bullets were scattered around. Most of the artifacts were broken. The paintings were hanging down and the chairs and tables were turned over. Harvey, Valenn, and Leon were wearing masks like a criminal. “Stop dragging! I can walk!” Kierson shouted. “We would want to let go because of your weight but it wouldn’t be believable if I let you walk there by yourself unscathed,” Leon replied. Kierson’s eyes twitched. “What the hell are you planning?”Valenn tsked. “I know that you’re still hoping for Vishnu to have a change of heart, Kierson. Before everything else, I’ll have to wake you from your delusions.”“Are you kidding me? Untie me! Pronto!” Kierson struggled and tried to free himself from Valenn's grasp. He was also continuously cursing at them but the three didn’t mind.“Gag his mou
Clandestine Affair DARK HORSE: Traitor
Kierson began finding some clues and documents related to Alex Ferrer in his grandfather’s office. He rummaged through the whole room. From the old man's desk, the cabinets, and the shelves but unfortunately, he could not find anything. Everything was a mess as he nearly turned the whole room upside-down. Kierson sighed and sat on the floor. He wiped his wet palm on his handkerchief. He wiped his beads of sweat and sat on the couch near the table. Gladly, he was okay. The abnormal sweating stopped. His heart rate came back to normal. It was as if his anxiety episode never happened. Fortunately, he overcame it without somebody’s help. He came over it without the help of his psychiatrist. Kierson stared at the ceiling as he pondered Alex Ferrer’s possible logical reasons for ruining everyone’s life. Alex Ferrer is the reason for all of these twists and turns that ruined most people’s lives.Kierson wished to know everything. “Just why the fuck was Alex Ferrer keep on pestering us?
Clandestine Affair DARK HORSE: Wrath
“What do you want?” Derrick asked. “You’re unexpectedly more helpful and more receptive to cooperating with us than I thought,” Kier asserted. Derrick rolled his eyes. “Just tell me what you want… ask me what you want to know. I have nothing to hide anyway,” he urged. “You’re boring,” Kier commented as he plopped on the seat in front of Derrick. Derrick chuckled. “I get that a lot.”Kier turned his head and slanted his back against the backrest of his chair. He pressed his lips and stared at Derrick. Seeing Derrick up close, he could not condemn Vishnu. There was no doubt that Vishnu really took Kierson to be a substitute for his lover. No matter what angle, Kierson, and Derrick really have similarities in terms of facial features and height. It was like Kierson was more of an Emerson than a Ferrer. Eye color and innate autocratic aura aside, Kierson didn’t get the Ferrers traits. Kier sighed and said, “What do you know about Alex Ferrer?”Derrick tilted his head. “Beats me. Th
Clandestine Affair DARK HORSE: His Fears
“Harvey escaped,” Kier reported as soon as he entered Kierson's office. Kierson clenched his jaw as he put down all the pictures signifying that Alec Ferrer was the new Police Chief. That means that in order to get that position, Alex Ferrer had to brutally kill, his younger brother, Harold Ferrer. Alex was the one who killed Kierson’s grandfather and with Wayne Emerson’s aid, Alex Ferrer managed to kill Noah’s parents and his parents. But how did Wayne Emerson meet Alex Ferrer and what pushed Alex Ferrer to go this far?Why does Wayne Emerson desperately want to kill Kierson?What was Noah’s reason for engaging with the Empresí and joining hands with Wayne Emerson? What made the Empresarium obscure all the underworld's crimes?Why does the Avialanché want to kill all the criminals? What stirred up all of these problems?Kierson couldn’t possibly answer those questions. As he, himself, was just merely a pawn. An ignorant pawn who was scrambling according to the players’ method.H
Clandestine Affair DARK HORSE: Rat
“Kier was drugged, Kierson. I don’t know how it happened but when I came back, I just saw him in a drunken state,” Harvey explained. “Jane Draco’s body was already missing and Valenn was found unconscious inside. He was injected with propofol.” Harvey looked at Kierson’s eyes with his knitted brows. “Vishnu and Derrick had already left after you left and I haven’t seen the suspect.”Kierson furrowed his brows. “Have you talked to Valenn? Does he know who the suspect is?” he asked. Harvey pressed his lips. “That’s what makes it more strange. He said it was your mother, Clementine.”“What?!” Kierson exclaimed. “My parents are both dead. Is he serious?!”“That’s right, Kierson. Unless your grandfather lied to you or someone was using your parent's face,” he mumbled. “What about Kier? Is he okay?” Kierson inquired. “He’s okay. I guess?"Jerson nodded and stared at the cutlery on the small table. There were also pipes and on the other table were pliers and scissors. The same day after
Clandestine Affair DARK HORSE: Guests
A man so lost finally ruined his home. Even after dismissing Kio Bourner, Kierson couldn’t get those words out of his head. He was thinking about it over and over again.What happened that made Alex Ferrer hate the Ferrer family so much? What did Alex do to make the Ferrer household hate him? Why do things keep on getting worse?Why do these things find no end?Kierson immediately called Harvey and told them to wait in the Ferrer’s estate. He had to find Alex Ferrer.He knows that Wayne Emerson wasn’t the mastermind of all of this trouble, but what he didn’t expect was that it was his grandfather's older brother. He didn’t even know that Harold Ferrer has an older brother. No one told him about Alex Ferrer. Not his parents. Not his grandfather.They only knew how to keep Kierson in the dark. Arriving at his estate, everyone in the patrol hurriedly runs toward him. “What happened?” Kierson asked with his brows furrowed. One of his people out of breath retorted, “The Oliveira bro
