Diego's POV . No matter how hard I tried to shut every living organism in my system, I can't bring myself to sleep in this state. . . Her moist sinful lips betrayed my eyes every time I stared at her. That damn figure and her smooth skin were like silk in my skin. And the most crucial part? Her--her dripping wet and wild -- oh fuck. "Fucking going insane to this shit!" Napabangon ako at ginulo ang buhok ko dahil hindi ako makatulog. "Digs, for pete sake, matulog ka na! Hindi lang ikaw ang nasa kwartong ito, at kanina ka pa paikot-ikot diyaan sa kama mo. Lumipat ka nga! Doon ka sa guest room matulog o 'di kaya sa library room." Dalawang unan na ang nasa ulong bahagi ni Ranger at napailing ako sa sarili. Baliw na yata ako. Ayaw kong matulog mag-isa dahil ang mukha ni Cariena ang napapanaginipan ko. Ayaw ko rin matulog sa library room dahil doon kami nag ano. Pesting kalokohan ito. "I'm out. I had had enough of this. I need her to get this out of my system, or else I will go to he
Cariena's POV . "Nagustuhan mo ba?" "Opo, s-salamat, tita." Ngumiti ako at kampanti siyang tinitigan. Ang laki na niya. Iba na sa nakasanayan ko noong bata pa siya. He seems serious now and quite different from all the kids in the foundation. Sister Anna told me earlier about him, and according to the reports, Emmanuel is improving yet, still hesitates to try new things. Naalala ko pa noong apat na taon pa siya. Ibang-iba siya sa lahat. May sarili siyang mundo. He can't go along well with my parents, especially to the people that took care of him. Isang tao lang ang nagustuhan niya noon at si Sister Anna ito. Kaya noong lumipit si Sister Anna sa islang ito ay hindi na ako nagdalawang isip na isama si Emmanuel sa kanya rito. Siguro, iyon ang pinakamahigpit na desesyon ko, at iyon ang simula ng gulo namin ni Gracie. Pero wala akong magagawa. Ginagamit niya si Emmanuel sa lahat ng gusto niya at pinoprotektahan ko lang ang bata. "Tita? Did you happen to know Prince Del Fiore?" Naw
Diego's POV "Are you kidding me? So you're asking me to kill you, Diego?" her eyebrows furrowed, looking at me with murderous eyes. I stumbled, feeling uneasy. Why the hell does our path keep crossing like this? I don't effing like it. "And now you're accusing me? I'm not here for you, Cariena. I'm here for Emmanuel, and it just happened that way. I'm innocent. Napag-utusan lang ako ni Prince. At syempre mabait ako at hindi demonyo." "Huh, this is insane." Tumalikod siya at alam kung magsasalita pa. Pero hindi natuloy ito dahil lumitaw si Emmanuel mula rito. "Tito, Diego. Thank you. I also have something here for Prince." Pareho kaming tulala ni Cariena at astig akong lumapit sa kanya. "Cool. Magugustuhan ito ni Prince. Makakarating agad ito sa kanya, Emmanuel. Salamat." I grabbed the plastic bag from him. It was wrapped tightly. He looked at me and Cariena suspiciously with no smile. Emmanuel seems different from all kids here. And according to Prince, Emmanuel's mind is you
Cariena's POV . "Ayaw ko po na inaaway ninyo ang tito ni Prince, Tita. Si Prince lang po ang nag-iisang kaibigan ko. Sana po ay maging mabait kayo sa tito niya." Tumalikod siya at nabasag ang puso ko. Hindi ko inakala na lihim palang nagmamasid si Emmanuel sa bawat kilos ko rito. Siguro nakita niya ang bawat galit na eksena ko kay Deigo. Huh, kasalanan ng h*******k na lalaking iyon ang lahat! Kung bakit naman kasi nandito siya sa isla? Nakakasira siya ng araw ko. Panay ang sunod na titig ko kay Deigo at sa dalawa niyang baliw na kaibigan. Nakakatawa ang mukha niya sa tuwing nagbibiro sila sa kanya. Parang mga bata ang tatlo. Napansin ko rin na tubig ang binubuga na bala ng baril na plastic na binigay ni Diego kay Emmanuel. Ginamit ni Emmanuel ito sa canvass painting niya, at nakamamangha ang gawa ng bata. At sa tuwing pinagmamasdan ko si Emmanuel ay nakikila ko ang realidad ng mundo niya. Life is unfair but what else we could do? We must live the life that's given or we can choo
Cariena's POV . Idiot Suntok ko sa punching bag na nakalambitin sa harapan ko. Bastard Sinundan ko ito nang isa pang suntok at naningkit ang mga mata ko. Nag-aapoy sa galit ang lahat sa akin ngayon. Arrogant Umatras ako para sa round kick. DE Luna, PRICK At buong lakas ang ginawa kong pag-round kick sa punching bag at tumama ito sa mukha ni Edu. Bumagsak siya. Huh, ang tanga! Ba't naman kasi nasa gitnang bahagi siya. May death wish yata ang baliw na utusan ni Papa. "Ouch, Miss Cariena!" Hawak niya sa mukha. Mukhang sa noo yata niya tumama ito at pinaikot ko na ang mga mata ko. Kinuha ko ang tubig sa gilid at saka ininom ito. Binuhusan ko na rin ang sarili dahil mainit ang pakiramdam ko. Summer na summer rito sa Italya at heto tanghaling tapat nagbibilad ako sa saraw rito sa rooftop ng mansion ng Costello. I couldn't go on with my thoughts, and it bothered the hell out of me. That pest, De Luna, is making me into flames. He's asking me to kill him again. "Blood, blood! I
Diego's POV . "Ang hanep, bro. Umalis na nga kami ni Diezel para ma solo mo si Cariena. Para magkaroon kayo ng pagkakataon dalawa. Iyon pala nalaman ko nilayasan mo?" ang boses ni Ranger ito. "Sinong lumayas?" ang boses ni Diezel. "Itanong mo sa pusong bato na De Luna," pagpatuloy ni Ranger. I gritted my teeth, loaded the bullets in my calibre and aimed it at the dummy in front of me. I fired it up, and it perfectly hit my target. BULLSEYE "Ang inggay, bro. Nakakabingi," reklamo ni Ranger. Siya lang yata ang maingay rito dahil sa walang humpay na talak niya. At pawang Cariena lang din ang bigbig niya. "Ano 'to? Uubusin ba natin ang bala ng kahon na ito?" si Diezel ulit. Kinuha niya ang isang baril ko at saka nilagyan ng bala ito. At saka pumwesto sa tabi ko. "What did I tell you, Digs?" He positioned himself and fired a few. Finally, he hit the target ahead. "Don't play with fire if you don't know how to stop it because it will eat you." At inulit lang niya ang sinabi sa a
Cariena's POV . Mabilis ang hakbang ko papunta sa magarbong hallway ng mansion na ito. Edu told me that my brat sister had just arrived from New York. I can't wait to see her. It's going to be fun starting tonight. My brows lifted when I saw her wearing a black silk lace made by Dior. Huh, gumanda lang yata ang baliw na ito dahil sa mamahaling suot niya. "Oh my goodness, Siobeh! I miss you my sis!" arteng boses niya. Pumilantik ang kamay niya sa ere at pa ekis-ekis ang hakbang niya palapit sa akin. Ang lawak ng ngiti niya na parang close kami, at abot hanggang tainga ito. Ang sarap hiwain ng bibig ng malditang ito. She paused in front of me and then kissed me cheek to cheek. "My goodness. What happened to you?" her brows rise while looking at me from head to toe. "And what about you? What are you doing here? You don't belong here, Gracie," I said in an almost whisper. "Don't be so harsh, Siobeh. After all, I'm your sister, remember?" Tumaas ang kilay niya at naghahamon ito.
Diego's POV . "ti prego, Diego, abbi pietà. Have mercy! Ahhh!" Pinot screamed loud enough, but too bad, no one could hear his plea inside this basement. "Tapusin na natin 'to, boss. Nagugutom na ako," si Azce. Hawak na niya ngayon ang electrical voltage sa kamay at handa na ito para kay Pinot. My teeth gritted, looking at Pinot's bloody face. Pinot is the key to a piece of information that I want from Vixtrous. Drake Del Fiore reported to me that El Cappuccino was transacting a business deal with Vixtrous in exchange for a piece of information overseas while I was on board. It has something to do with the Costellos and, at the same time, with us, the De Luna. I already had a bad feeling about this. Azce has been following the other gangster as my order. Magaling siya sa trabaho niya at wala akong problema sa kanya. Sa kabilang banda ay si Simon naman ang inutusan ko para sa mga kaaway namin sa kabilang daku sa Sicily. The boys were divided in half, and Drake managed the rest.
Brielle.Nakaraos din ang gabi at heto, tulala ako sa sarili.His mother and brother, Glenn, left about an hour ago. Morris and I stayed because this restaurant also provides overnight accommodations for those who wish to stay longer than a day.Hinintay ko lang na matapos si Morris sa banyo at ako na ang kasunod. Wala ako sa sarili kanina at pilit akong nakikisama sa ina niya.She asked many questions as if she were one of my teachers in school. She seemed classy, as she came from a good family, the Monteverde.Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na hindi basta-basta ang pamilya ni Morris. May pangalan siya. May pinangangalagaan. May sari-saring negosyo sa buong Asya at Amerika and mga magulang at kapatid niya. Si Morris lang ang naiiba at hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ang alam ko lang ay may negosyo rin naman siya sa Italya, pero hindi raw kalakihan ito. Hindi raw tulad ng kapatid niyang si Glenn at ng mga magulang niya."Are you alright?"I spun, and there he was, standing a few feet from me, a
Morris."Just meet them. That's the only way. Glenn is doing everything he could. He is in a tight sport, Mors. Hindi ko ito sasabihin sa 'yo ngayon. Pero ginagawa ni Glenn ang lahat para sa 'yo. He might be heartless, but he loves you as his brother."I shut my eyes while listening to Reeve in the line. Wala siya rito at nasa Amerika. Pansamantala, ay si Glenn ang humahawak sa negosyo niya na nasa parehong Isla."I already gave Glenn the details, and your mother will be there. Meet them for once," he added.I gritted my teeth. "I hate the old man," I uttered under my breath."He is not around the country at the moment. It's a good opportunity, Mors. And with the deal Glenn made with your father, it saves you."I inhaled deeply and shook my head.That lunatic Glenn, really? How many times I told him not to worry about me. He needs to worry about himself first! Ang tigas ng ulo niya."I know what you're thinking, Morris. Glenn is your brother. You and him are the same, bro. Hard heade
Brielle."All of the sudden? Akala ko ba hindi ka seryoso sa relasyon na ito? Hindi ba sinabi mo sa akin na wala kang maipapangako?" I looked at him, confused, thinking of the other way around. Excited ako, at kabog ang pintig ng puso ko habang dikit ang tingin ko sa mga mata niya. Napaigting siya, at nakuha ko agad ang ibig niyang sabihin.I sighed, feeling disappointed. "Okay lang, Morris. You don't have to force yourself to introduce me to your parents. I'm not ready for this." Inunahan ko na. I shook my head and turned away from him. I know I should be celebrating because most woman looks forward to this... To introduce them to the parents of the person they love. But Morris is different. We already had a deal. He doesn't want any lingering promises, and I don't like this. I don't want a commitment. Kahit pa sabihin na natin na sabik ako at gusto ko naman, ay puno naman ng pag-aalala ang puso ko. Kaya mas mabuting wala na."Hey, Bree. Listen to me." He followed me.I paused an
Morris."Did you stuff it up?" Bryce asked in the line."No. I did not, asshole. I'm not as sick as you," I laughed while connecting the line to Linus."Fuck. You know you're an asshole, too, at times, Mors. You almost give me a heart attack, bro." He chuckled. His line came back clear now, and I can see him better than before."Yo, looks great! What did you do to yourself, Mors? You're finger-licking good, man," Linus spat. He can see me better, too.My face flushed, and I shook my head."Psst, keep quiet, gentleman. Let me remind you that our big black bear is in love." Diezel uttered."What? Damn. Are you serious?" Bryce's mouth parted. "I can't believe it." He shook his head."Oh well, who's the lucky girl?" Linus smiled."Let me guess? Is it Brielle? Siya lang naman ang magtitiyaga sa isang katulad mo, Mors," kantyaw ng walanghiyang Diezel."Stuff you." I cursed and growled at him, and the rest of them laughed."Ibang klase… So, this Brielle what she's like?" Linus asked."Oh, u
Brielle.Mainit, pero hindi masakit ang sikat ng araw. Naka two-piece swim suit ako at tinutulungan ako ni Morris sa paglagay ng sunscreen.Nasa gitna na kami ng dagat at may dalawang fishing rod na nakatambay na para sa isda. Hinihintay na lang ni Morris na may kumain sa pain niya."All done, babe. You are well covered and protected from sunburnt." He puts back the lotion on the side bench."Thank you, babe," agap ko at kinuha ko na ang sombrero. "Hmm, gaano ba katagal ang isda?" Titig ko sa dalawang fishing rod sa harapan."In a second… here we go." Pumwesto agad si Morris at hinawakan ang fishing rod. May isda na. Pero gumalaw rin agad ang isang fishing rod. May isda na rin ito."Take that one, babe.""Okay… paano nga ba?" Pinuwesto ko ang dulo ng fishing rod sa tagiliran at saka hinatak ko ang reeling pabalik sa akin. "Ang bigat!""Just hold still. I won't be long with this, and I will help you with that," he says and quickly maneuvered his move.Steady lang ang hawak ko at reeli
Morris."Done and dusted. All sorted, boss.""Motlo bene, Blue. Very good. And please don't call me boss, especially in front of Brielle." I whispered because I could see Brielle ahead, smiling, approaching me."Va bene, capo."I smirked a little. Still, he called me boss in the Italian language. Asshole."Morris, baby!" Brielle hugged me, and I hugged her tighter. Blue sharply looked at her, and by the time his eyes glanced at me, I growled. He then dipped his head."Y-you have someone with you?" Nakatingin na si Brielle kay Bleu, at nakayuko pa rin ang gago."Yes. This is Blue, baby. He is my dear friend," I introduced. "Say hello to my girl, Bleu."Tumitig muna si Bleu sa akin at maamo na ang mukha niya. At saka kay Brielle na siya ngumiti."È un piacere conoscerla, signora." Nilahad niya ang kamay kay Brielle."Huh? Ano raw?" Brielle looked at me in confusion. I gritted my teeth, giving Bleu an ultimatum."Fanculo. Parla in inglese, Blu." I fucking swore, asking him to talk in En
Brielle.The air crackles between us. It's intense, hot, and demanding.Sa totoo lang, simula nang maibigay ko ang sarili ko kay Morris ay nakalimutan ko na ang lahat ng pait at masasamang ala-ala na pinagdaanan ko.I'm not a virgin to this, and I'm not a prostitute either. However, I am close to that because of my job, as I used to tame dangerous people, and when they got drunk and naked in front of me, a killer who was on standby would take over the job and kill them.That wasn't a bad job, and I earn a lot of money from it. Hindi man kalakihan ang pera na kinikita ko noon, ay iyon lang din naman ang nakikita kong paraan para makapag-ipon at nang sa ganun ay makatakas kami ni tiya sa imperyno.There was no escape, honestly, in that hell as they held me by the neck. I thought I could easily escape that hell, but I was wrong. But luck was on my side, and here I am with tiya, living on this remote Island.Walang nakakakilala sa amin at walang maghahanap sa amin dito.I bite my lower l
Morris."And what are you planning, Morris? Are you sure you are going to be okay on your own?"I scoffed and shook my head in disgust. Does he really think I can't do it alone?"Do you want me to cut off your head, Dez?" I scowl."Yeah, yeah, I know, bro. I'm just worried." He chuckled."Don't be worried. You don't know what you're dealing with, Dez. Worry about yourself. You are about to enter your world now, and you will be forbidden from seeing us for a while. Can you handle that?" I smirked."Oh well, I have no choice. I can handle it, Mors. I'm a big boy you know. Limang taon lang naman ang kailangan nila sa akin, at bibilisan ko ito. Sisiguraduhin ko na sa loob ng tatlong taon o dalawa ay makukuha ko na ang market target, at isa na ako sa pinakamayaman tao sa buong mundo. Fuck." Malutong na mura niya at natawa akong bahagya."I know you can do it, Dez. I will wait for you after five years, okay? Suit yourself to everything, and you know where I am. I am a phone call away. And
Brielle.Nakakapagod. Balot sa pawis ang boung katawan ko at hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako ngayon. Ramdam ko ang sakit sa paa at balot ito ng dugo at putik. Mabilis kong pinunasan ang luha at saka matapang na inayos ang damit ko.Tapos na akong umiyak, at ubos na yata ang luha ko. At kahit pa iiyak ako ng dugo ay hindi maawa sa akin ang mga iyon. Mga hayop sila! Wala silang awa!Hindi ko naramdaman na pumutak ang katiting na luha sa pisngi at mabilis kong pinunasan ito. Kinagata ko ang labi at namuo ang galit sa loob ko.Babalikan ko si tiya. Babalikan ko siya.***"Bree, baby. . ." Ang mainit na dampi na halik ni Morris sa tainga ko ang nagpamulat ng mga mata ko ngayon. Nanaginip na naman ako, pero iba ito at hindi kagaya nang mga nakaraang panaginip ko.Humikab ako at ramdam ko ang konting kirot sa hita. Napa-ungol ako nang maramdaman ko ang kamay ni Morris sa bahaging ito."I'm sorry, I made you tired, baby, and I know you want to sleep more. But we have to go." He rested his face
