"He is okay now. Luckily, the venom was not much. It wasn't enough to kill Brodie. He is now safe and needs a rest. He will be discharged tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Millie."

"That's alright. And by the way, I heard what about Almond. I'm sorry. . . That dog was adamant and such a hero."

I bit my inside cheek and smiled a little bit. Mr. Millie patted my shoulder and then trailed off. I sighed, feeling so heavy at the moment.

Almond is dead. He probably found the snake inside Brodie's working shed and managed to chase and kill it. But it also bites him. And unfortunately killed him. . . My poor baby.

Napasandal ako sa dingding habang tinitigan ang pinto ng kwarto sa pribadong hospital na ito. Nagpapahinga si Brodie sa loob na kasama si Nathaniel. Nalulungkot dahil wala na si Almond at wala ng maingay na tatahol sa akin kada umaga sa tuwing pupunta ako sa farm.

Nakakamis naman pala ang mga alaga. Kaya ngayon naiintindihan ko kung bakit walang pakialam si Smokey sa mga hayop,

    Carmella.I smiled wickedly after picking Brodie. Hindi pa siya lumabas ng kotse at ako ang nauna. Nilingon ko siya at hinintay para sabay kaming papasok sa loob ng bahay niya. Buong biyahe nga siyang tahimik at nirerespto ko ito. May pinagdadaanan siya at masakit mawalan ng aso na katulad ni Almond.He stepped out, and I watched him fully while walking towards me. He then stopped two feet away from me."Do you want something that I can offer?"I smirked. It wasn't a partner's offer but a stranger's."Brodie, let me ask you. Who am I to you?" I tilted my head, looking at him in the eyes, waiting for him to say something."Carmella. . . You are, of course, my wife." Brodie's jaw tightened."Yes, I'm your wife!" Pinakita ko agad sa kanya ang sing-sing ko sa kamay at itinapat ko ito sa kamay niya."See that? It's perfect." Sabay hawak ko sa kamay niya. "So don't ask me what you can offer when you know the answer. Come one, let's get inside together." I tightened my grip on his hand and

    Carmella's POV."Oh, I love this!" I whirled around and grabbed the chilled wine. Brodie is still showering, and here I am, preparing our food like a wife."Oh hang on, I'm not like a wife because I'm his wife legally. Tsk, ano ba itong iniisip ko. Nakakalito rin naman pala ang pagiging baliw ano?"I hummed while preparing everything. I kept talking to myself and my audience is my cat, Smokey. He settled here like me. Parang wala siyang problema sa bahay ni Brodie at mabilis siyang nakapag-adjust katulad ko."Okay, Smokey, here's yours." Ibinigay ko na ang para sa kanya, dried cat food. Kumain agad siya.Lumabas na si Brodie mula sa banyo at napangiti ako, dahil isinuot niya ang damit na inihanda ko."Dinner's ready. Let's eat?"He nodded and never said anything and followed me.I made a silent prayer and we started. Hindi ako sanay na magdasal dahil makasalanan ako. Hindi na siguro ako mapapatawad ng Dyos dahil sa daming masasamang taong pinaparusahan ko noon. Pero kahit papaano ay

    Brodie's POV.I shook my head. Carmella is a handful of sly, tempting tigress. I know that. I better keep my wall solid in between us. This marriage was planned according to each benefit. She might now know the real reason why we have to get married, but I'm choosing this as an opportunity to resolve everything."Oh, the night is cold. I love this! Now I understand why you like to work at night, Brodie." She gestured in a gunshot."Okay, let's begin shooting!" Taas na hawak niya sa shotgun."Be careful with that, Carmella. That's not a toy that you can just fire around. Make sure that there's no casualty around the area, or you will go to jail," I reminded her."Alam ko ano. Huwag kang ano!" Pilyang ngiti niya at napailing ulit ako sa sarili. Nahinto akong saglit at pinagmasdan lang siya.Yeah, pretty dumb, Brodie. What else do I expect from a family background of her? She's not any Carmella because she's a Del Fiore—a Del Fiore who can do unimaginable things around me."Hey, mahal!

    Brodie's POV . One hundred lips? What the — kind of a woman is she? Dammit. "As you can see, Brodie, we need to make some amendments in this part, bro. I suggest putting a 10 percent deflation rate on the market. What do you think? It's not bad, right?" I heaved deep enough to get out some bad air, but I felt down still. Hell, is wrong with me? "Hey, Brodie, are you even listening to me? Hello?" "Yes? What did you say again?" "Tsk, sabi ko na nga ba. Hindi ka nakikinig at wala ka na naman sa sarili mo. Kung hindi lang kita kaibigan ay ninakawan ko na ang kompanya mo at wala lang ito sa 'yo." Iling ni Nathaniel. "What's bothering you?" "Is it normal for a woman to kiss one hundred men?" My brows crossed. I'm out of my mind. "You mean your wife kissed one hundred lips? What the heck, bro," he chuckled. "Anong klaseng tanong iyan." He stood up and put the papers away. He put them back in the drawer. "I will do the plan as what you suggest, okay? Here have a drink." Ibinigay ni

    Carmella's POV."Get this right, Carmella. Don't let that sly fox seduce your husband. Remember, Brodie is yours now. It's not like you guys are not married. That was legal, Carmella. My gosh! I will never let this slide. Nicolle De Pruta can go to hell if she'll lay a finger on my man. What's mine is mine and mine alone!"Naningkit ang mga mata ni Butter nang sabihin niya ito. Nahinto ako sa pag-nguya ng apple at pinaikot ko nalang ang mga mata ko.I stood up to peel the skin off. I don't like eating apples like this. I can't swallow the skin. It's too chewy, and it's making me choke.After discovering Nicolle and Brodie's past, I wanted to skin Brodie alive!Sinadya niya yata na pakasalan lang ako dahil kay Nicolle. He knew I'm the last resort. Sly! Pareho silang dalawa ni Axton! Kaya pagsasamahin ko silang dalawa sa hukay."Did you forgot what she did to you when we were young? My God! Kung ako lang sana ang nasunod noon sunog na ang balat ng haliparot na iyon!"Napangiwi ako. Mas

    Brodie's POV.Having Carmella around helped me ease my sleep. Holding her hand next to me, lying in bed, put me to sleep.Hindi ako dating ganito, dahil hindi ako nakakatulog sa gabi. Kailangan ko pang pahirapan ang sarili ko para mapagod ang katawan ko para makatulog. But Carmella changed that routine for me. One touch of her and her smiles is my lullaby.Learning her likes and dislikes, I kept that in mind. I've done my research, and she's easy. The easy type when it comes to heart.Mataray siya, pero malambot naman ang puso pagdating sa iilang bagay. At matigas sa mga desesyon na gusto niya. She can put up a fight. There's no doubt about that. She's a fighter. I know that. But one thing that up until now made me puzzle about her. I don't think she had one hundred exe's. I just can't believe it.Today, after a busy day at the farm, I prepared her favorite dish. The dish that she misses a lot at home. . . Pasta.It's not ordinary pasta because every ingredient and even the sauce was

    Carmella's POV.And just like that, I've lost half a million dollars.What the. . .fudge."Oh, that was — you know. I-I didn't expect it." I acted calm, like it didn't affect me. Brodie shook his head as he looked at the field ahead. He was calm, sipping his alcoholic drink.How the hell did that happen? I was sure Butter told me that that horse would win! Did she perhaps lie to me?What the fudge, again.Tumayo ako at pasimpling dinukot ang cellphone sa loob ng bag. I sweetly looked at Brodie before turning away from him. Malagkit ang titig niya at tila walang pakialam sa mga tao sa paligid namin.If he could devour me here, he could probably done so. My message was loud and clear. I bet myself in exchange for the money. And I'm sure he's looking forward for it. Sa uri ba naman ng titig niya kanina sa akin kanina nang matalo ang kabayo, ay tiyak puwede na niya akong gahasain mamayang gabi."Butter, I lost," I pouted. It doesn't worry me at all."Oh, I see. . . Is that a big deal?"A

    Brodie's POV.She blew up the half a million dollars? Huh, damn. . . This is cool anyway. I have the best excuse to have her."So, anong gusto mo?" Matapang ang titig na pinakawalan niya sa akin. Napasandal ako sa dingding at seryoso siyang tinitigan.I'm not drunk, but I'm hot enough to make her mine tonight. We are back at the hotel now. It was early to go. There are still events at the venue, but I lost my appetite. All I want to do is to drag her to bed, kiss her hard, and make her moan in pleasure.Damn this. The alcohol is now playing a little guilt in my system. This is why I hate drinking."Like I've said, I'm cool about this, Carmella.""Okay. That's fine. May pangangailangan ka at ako rin naman 'di ba?"She crossed her arms together, and I swore behind my mind. She's hard to tame. That's for sure, but why do I find her more sexy? Huh, I must be crazy.I nodded and sighed in relief."Okay, but I have my condition, Brodie."Brodie? She's calling me Brodie now instead of mahal

    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.

    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
