2024-10-29 19:42:56Sean Lawrence gritted through his teeth but couldn't do anything much. He knew for sure that what Marion's father said was true. The same goes for Peter. Kahit gaano pa kataas ang kaniyang posiyon, kung hawak-hawak naman ng pamilya Santaana ang kaniyang institusyon na pinagtatrabuhan ay wala ring ganap. Unless he contacted his family. If he contacted them, the situation will turn around at their favor and the Santaana family can even be erased. Ngunit matagal na siyang umalis sa kaniyang pamilya. Now, he was conflicted what to choose.
The angry noises made by Sean Lawrence and Peter died down. The private investigator smiled at the two who were still glaring at him. Wala naman siyang takot dahil alam niya na nasa likod niya ay isa sa mga makapangyarihang pamilya sa bansa. He was offered safety, security, and tons of money by Freya Santaana, the grandmother of Marion, just to make sure there will be someone appointed to be responsible for Marion's death

The private investigator noticed the small commotion that happened because of Sean Lawrence's actions. He then reprimanded the college boy of the possible consequences that might happen if he stayed the same as who he was in front of the Santaana Family. "Young boy, Sean Lawrence, was it? Mind your manners, college boy. You wouldn't know when will it be your time. Malay mo, mamaya o makalawa ay hindi mo na masilayan pa ang araw. Just saying." The private investigator brought down the papers he was holding and held his gaze straight towards Sean Lawrence who was casually looking at him eye to eye. He didn't back down when the private investigator tried to scare him by giving him a death stare. Well, those weren't enough to make someone like Sean Lawrence bow down to someone. It would take a much more scary threat for him to act like a puppy the Santaana family wanted him to be. "Can you tell me then, what will happen, Sir?" matapang na sagot ni Sean Lawrence. Instead of the priva

"Pasensya na, Sean. Forgive my rudeness. My name is Raphaella Morales, you can also call me Ms. Ella. I used to be a teacher in Sentiniente High. I just recently resigned and now I am currently unemployed," maikling paliwanag ni Ella. A little background about Ella's tendency to forget things. Makakalimutin si Ella hindi lang sa mga bagay na kaniyang ginagamit sa pang-araw araw o kaya ay sa kaniyang mga nakaatas na gawain ngunit pati na rin kahit na sa simpleng pagpapakilala ng kaniyang sarili. Ever since she was a kid, this has already become a habit of hers. Napapatanong na lang ang kaniyang mga magulang kung bakit napakamakakalimutin ni Ella. Napakahirap pa noong bata siya at isang child actress. Halos kung saan-saan na lang nila hagilapin ang kaniyang mga nawala at naiwang gamit. When she was 5 years old, she would forget to wear slippers wherever she went. Her birthdays came and she turned 10 years old where she kept on forgetting her personal items. At 15 up until the present t

As darkness covered the city of Icehill, an infamous place in the kingdom of Grimham as the hiding place of the most wanted vampire criminals, a badly injured man rushes to an abandoned building to take cover. He goes to a room with a loose door and broken windows, the farthest from the entrance. He went to the corner and sat on the floor, his brown coat hugging him from behind. There were footsteps entering the rugged building that made his heart wild. It’s as if his heart was about to jump out of his body. He held his breath, cautiously being aware of his surroundings. He heightened his senses, but failed. The blood loss from the cut on his stomach caused too much pain. It was difficult for his right hand to cover too. “Fuck it,” said Seth. He put his left hand on the wall and desperately clung onto it. “Greg, where the fuck are you.” His golden eyes anxiously look from left to right to check his surroundings. There were no signs of danger, but somehow, the eerie smell in the air

It has been ten minutes after Mara brought the cat to the doctor. The whole time she was waiting, her mind was a mess. Her mind went back to the state of the cat when she first found it. How could such a thing happen? Why was the cat badly injured? Who were the culprits? She clenched her fists and stared hard in the open air.“Ms. Anderson?” The doctor appeared in his white coat. His face was unreadable as he approached her.She stood abruptly. “Doctor, how’s the condition of the cat?”“It’s… it’s difficult to tell. At first, there was blood on it, right? I turned around for a second to get a piece of equipment and…found him completely fine the next second. I tried to make sure if there was really no problem with it by doing different checkups. There was none.” He sighed. “It was… it was really unbelievable.”Mara was surprised to hear the news as well. “Are you… bluffing, Doc?”“I wish I am.” He led her to the inside room where the cat was currently lying.As soon as Mara laid her ey

Before Mara could start again in telling her story, a young man's voice called her from a distance."Mara!"A boy in his dark-colored pants and light-colored shirt school uniform dashed through the circular tables in the cafeteria with a worried face. He was none other than Ezekiel "Zeke" Belmont, also known as the "King" among the seniors. He had a perfect face, one that is similar to a greek god representation. He has long flaxen hair that touches up to his shoulders that moves past the wind whenever the air blows. His eyes were the color of the ocean, sucking you in whenever you look into it. Lastly, his skin was just perfect. He's glowing anywhere he goes.This gathered the attention of the other students. Everyone looked at them with envy when they saw that the trio has gathered once again. They all looked dazzling and with their extraordinary looks as well as with their innate skills and abilities, that is why it was easy for everyone else to desire what they have."Wow. That id

It was past 5 o' clock in the afternoon when the three decided to go home. They had fun the whole day; binge-watched a horror movie, bought plenty of food online from various fast food stores, and made wholesome memories."Hey, It's kinda late. Y'all want to call it a day?" Zeke asked when he noticed the time on his golden watch."Okay!" Mara said while Ana nodded."Do you want us to drop you at your house or do you have to go somewhere first?" he asked."Hmmm, can you both walk me to my apartment? Since I think this will be the last day we'll see each other."Zeke threw one arm around Mara's shoulder. "Yep. On the last day we'll see each other for a while. Be a good girl for us, alright?" he teased and Mara laughed in return. She will surely miss his teasing for two years."I have always been a good girl. Expect me to maintain my reputation in Graceville High for the next two years. Since I'm that good, both of you should make me your role model."Her two friends laughed at what she

There were instances in life where people find themselves in a strange situation. The most common reaction during those times was either shock, panic, or distress. But none of those words fit Seth's reaction after the stranger keeling on the floor in front of him addressed his name. While standing still, he remained impassive--- that's what his eyes tell."What?" was the only thing he muttered. Ana thought his voice was colder and deeper than before. Must have been through puberty."I'm asking you to heal my friend. This accident is partly your fault so pay your dues," she said, her voice was strong and confident. Tears were still evident on her face although she has stopped crying."And what are the boons?"She exasperatedly sighed. "You're fucked up. You weren't like this when you were younger. You're much better then. Now you're a straight-up asshole!"Ana can't help but snarl at him and openly say her feeling because of his nasty attitude. The man turned into a 180 - degree versio

Continuation.DEVYANI'S P.O.V.That very day, I laid out my plan as smoothly and concisely as possible inside my hidden house. The only creatures who would about it would be me, Orion, and perhaps Father since he knows all of the things happening in the world. I decided I would execute it at around 8 o'clock in the evening. Whether it will work or not, that will be entirely up to me and to the people around me. Seconds later, I heard a knock outside the door. I muttered a chant so the things that are lying on the table about the plan would be concealed. Matapos ay tumakbo ako papunta sa pinto. Alam ko naman na kung sino ang tanging gagawa noon. "Coming!"When I opened the doork, I saw Orion with a wide grin on his face. "Dinner?" tanong niya. Sa isang kamay ay hawak-hawak niya ang dalawang isda na tig-isang nakatusok sa dalawang pirasong kahoy. Naguluhan ako sa kaniyang sinabi. Tumingin ako sa labas saka siya tiningnan muli. "Ha? Hapunan na? Anong oras na ba? Hindi ba at parang ma

Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo sa pinakatuktok ng isang matarik na bundok. Napakatahimik ng paligid. Walang mga away ang nagaganap at ang lahat ng bagay ay naaayon sa panuntunan ng buhay na ginawa ni Ama. Napakaaliwalas at napakakalmadong tingnan ang mga nilalang na nilikha ni Ama sa planetang Earth. Ang mga tao, hayop, halaman, puno, mga hayop, ang tubig at ang lupa, hangin, ulap, apoy, at iba pa ay tamang-tama na nakapuwesto. Sa katotohanan ang lahat ng mga bagay na matatagpuan sa planetang Earth ay nagmula rin sa aming kaniyang mga anak. Pinagbasehan niya ang mga mahika at responsabilidad na naiatas sa amin. Ang kaibahan sa amin at pagdating sa mundo ng mga nilalang na kaniyang nilikha, may kakayahan kaming kontrolin ang mga bagay o ang mga mahika. Habang sa planetang Earth, walang may kakayahan kumontrol ng mga mahika. Ang tanging abilidad lang na ibinigay ni Ama sa kanila ay ang kakayahang mag-isip at magkaroon ng rasyonalidad. "Devyani? Nandito ka na naman ulit?" tanong ng isang lal

Fiction, non-fiction, YA, mystery, thriller, science fiction, anthologies, poems, literature, dictionary, thesaurus, textbooks, at marami pang iba ang matatagpuan sa silid-aklatan. Parang sa mundo ko lang dati. Ang kaibahan nga lang, mas maraming nakakatuwang impormasyon ang matatagpuan sa mundong 'to. Welp. Siguro, biased lang ako dahil mas magaganda ang pagkakagawa ng mga libro rito. Ang mga libro sa mundong 'to ay mayroong mga papel na makakapal at ang mga ito ay kulay light brown. Iyon bang parang pakupas na papel na sa mundo ko dati ngunit dito, hindi siya pakupas. Sadyang ganoon lang ang kulay at hindi nag-iiba. Bago man o luma ang mga libro ay parehas lang ang kalidad ng mga papel. Siguro mayroong taong gumagamit ng mahika upang mapanatili ang ganda ng papel.Bukod pa rito, maraming nakaguhit na larawan sa mga libro. Hindi kada-pahina ay mayroong mga nakaguhit na larawan ngunit ang mga ito ay sapat upang punan ang mga parte ng mga libro na nangangailangan ng visual representat

"Ano na naman iyang mga pinaggagawa ninyo?" inis na sabi ni Ina. Napamasahe siya sa kaniyang noo at umiling-iling pa. Mukhang kailangan na niya muna ng pahinga sa kambal. "Hindi ko na alam sa inyong mga bata kayo." Randam ko pa rin si Mael sa likod at ang pilit pag-alis ni Kael sa kaniya sa aking likod. Patuloy pa rin sila sa kanilang ginagawa kahit na nagsalita na si Ina. Hindi nakatiis si Ama at nagsalita na rin. "Mga bata, magsitigil na nga kayo. Si Meliliana pa talaga ang pinag-aawayan niyo at nasakto pa na tayo ay magkakasamang kumain sa hapag-kainan." Ngunit hindi siya pinakinggan ng aking mga kapatid. Patuloy ang dalawa sa pag-aaway. Parang mga isip-bata para sa mga prinsipeng katulad nila. Hindi ba dapat na kahit parte ka ng isang maharlikang pamilya, sa edad na mag-sasampu ay matured na? Ganoon ang napapanood ko sa mga pelikula at aking mga nababasa sa mga libro. Karamihan naman sa mga 'yon ay piksyonal tulad nito kaya bakit iba sila? Dahil naiinis na rin ako na hinihil

It's been five years since I came into this world, into the novel called "Meliliana". My life has never been this strange yet... warm.Noong una, mahirap isipin at tanggapin ang reyalidad na nasa harapan ko. Sino ba naman ang kaagad-agad maniniwala na totoo ang reincarnation? Hindi naman kasi kapani-paniwala talaga ang isekai o rebirth o kung ano pa man ang tawag dito. Sa mga nobela at pelikula lang naman ang mga iyon nangyayari--- iyon ang akala ko. Akala ko noong namatay ako buhat ng pagsagasa ng truck, makakasama ko nang muli ang mga pamilya ko. Iyon pala, hindi. Sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, at kung paano at anong nangyari, ay namuhay ako bilang ang bidang karakter ng nobelang Meliliana, kauna-unahang international best-selling book na mula sa Pilipinas ang awtor. Iba't ibang mga lahi ang tumangkilik dito, kaya ang libro ay nailathala sa iba't ibang bansa gamit ang iba't ibang lenguwahe. Ang kanilang mga dahilan ay kesyo maganda raw ang romance, kaaya-aya, nakakakilig, at kung anu

Bakit parang ang ingay ata sa labas? Taena, aga-aga nagsisisigaw na naman ang mga bata.“Oy, ano ‘yang ingay niyo? Kitang may natutulog.” Lumabas ako ng kuwarto at nakita sa sala ang aking dalawang nakababatang kapatid. Parehas tumitili na para bang chino-chop chop na baboy. Nakita ko ang magasin sa ibabaw ng lamesa. Pinulot ko ito at hinampas sa ulo ng dalawa.“Ano ba, ate?! Panira naman, oh,” daing ni Heaven, labing-dalawang taong gulang kong kapatid na babae. Sumimangot siya saka lumabi.“Oo nga, panira. Palibhasa bitter,” anas ni Nevaeh, kakambal na babae ni Heaven. Inikot niya pa ang kaniyang mga mata saka dumila. Lah, pikon talaga ‘to. “Bakit kasi ang ingay niyo? Wala pa nga atang walong oras tulog ko. May niluto bang pagkain si Mama?” “Sus. Baka nga siyam na oras na tulog mo. Umuwi ka rito kaninang alas-siyete, alas-kuwatro na ng hapon ngayon. Sa isang tanong mo, oo mayroong pagkain diyan. Piniritong talong at galunggong.

Mara was on the guard about the man she was left with. She was still not yet convinced on whether to trust the person or not. She doesn't know a thing about him. The only information given to her by her friends were he was Ana's brother, he was the creepy guy at the convenience store, and he carried her back to her apartment when she felt ill. Aside from all of that, she still hasn't seen his face, and not even entirely sure about his identification.She felt the need to at least start the conversation as it didn't look like the man would do so. Mara walked up to the man who was still leaning on the wall."Uhm, hello, I'm Mara. Nice to meet you." She extended her right hand in an attempt to shake hands."Yeah, I know you. No need for formalities." Mara put her hand away because of what he said. The man took off his hat and mask. "I'm Seth. The Seth you know."When his bare face comes into view, Mara gasped. His perfect face was just too pretty in her eyes. There was not one bit of sca
