Discreet Nights Chapter 50: Plan
Halos isang linggong hindi nagpakita si Rye pagkatapos ng gabing iyon. Halos isang linggo na rin akong nabuburo sa loob ng mansyon. Kain at tulog lang ang ginagawa ko at hindi ko alam kung paano ko 'yon nakakayanan lalo na't hindi ako sanay sa gano'n. Isang beses kong sinubukang mag-aksaya ng lakas upang tumakas, ngunit mga sugat sa braso lang ang natamo ko matapos kong labanan ang mga bantay sa labas ng mansyon. However, hindi naman ako nakaramdam ng pagsisisi. I was bored that's why I did that. Hindi lingid sa aking kaalaman na nasa loob lang ng mansyon si Rye, ngunit hindi ko alam kung saan banda. Hindi naman lahat ng parte ay maaari kong puntahan sa loob. May mga bahagi na hindi ako pinahihintulutang puntahan kaya naman hindi ko mahanap-hanap ang lalaki. Kaya naman suwerte ako nang bumaba ako sa kalagitnaan ng gabi dahil kinailangan kong linisin ang sugat ko na aksidente kong muling napadugo, muli kong nakita si Rye. “I already missed my sons' birthday. Until when do you wan
Discreet Nights Chapter 51: RUAN'S POV
I knew I was fucked up real hard when all I could see whenever I was closing my eyes is her; her delicate lips and her pair of dark sultry eyes. The electricity that her touch sent me that night together with her sweet moans even bugged my system for I don't know how fucking long. “The woman you met that night is not the daughter of Articus Severino you have chosen as your fiancée.” I knew it. From the moment she turned off the lights first before taking off her mask, I fucking knew it. The Astean Severino I was talking with told me she prefer it lights on. Fuck. What now? Sino ang babaeng 'yon, kung gano'n? Hindi niya ba ako paninindigan? “I don't know who is she.” Nakakunot ang noo ko nang balingan ko ng tingin ang kanang-kamay ko na si Ervo. “How did you know it wasn't her then?” “According to Altroin, Astean Severino is currently under medication for her illness. The Severinos are hiding it.” Napapikit na lang ako at napamasahe sa aking sintido. “Articus used another woma

After having a nice talk with him, I got Sever Hareon as my right hand. He was easy to talk with. Hindi ko naman siya binantaan. I just gave him reminders as his boss. “What did you do? Bakit may pasa sa mukha 'yon?” Ervo was so worried when he got into my office. Nagtaas ako ng isang kilay sa kaniya. “You know him?” “I am the one who trained him before he became the head of Derrivy in the Philippines.” Nagkibit-balikat ako. “Nice. He's my right hand now. Pinapayagan na kitang umalis.” Huminga nang malalim si Ervo bago itinaas ang gilid ng mga labi. “Alright, then. Sa wakas. Malaya na ako. Goodbye, boss. See you when I—” “Sinabi ko ba na ngayon?” I asked Sever to be with Zalaria while she was carrying our twins in exchange for a billion dollars. However, the man told me that it was really his plan to do so, even if I did not ask him. If only I was able to do my duties as the father, edi sana masaya ako ngayon. Pangarap kong magkaroon ng sarili kong pamilya, ngayong meron na, hi

“You'll let Rye handle the assignation of missions?” “Uhuh. It's not a thing to worry about. He'll assign and I'll approve. It's still under my control.” Ervo showed his concern about my decision. He thought it was risky, pero 'yon nga ang pinakamaayos na puwesto na maaaring upuan ni Rye na dadaan at dadaan talaga sa akin lahat ng gagawin niya. Being the Supreme doesn't mean I should control everything about Derrivy in my favor. I knew that Rye was desperate to have my position— desperate that he became okay with the idea of destroying the relationship we have as brothers, pero alam ko na ang trabaho ay trabaho sa kaniya. He won't make an awful mistake when it comes to things inside Derrivy because the company's downfall will surely be his, too. As of me? The only thing I could consider as my downfall is that when Zalaria wouldn't accept me as the father of her sons. I really wanted to be a father. Oh, Lord, how many times did I wish to swing my sons safely in my arms so that
Discreet Nights Chapter 54: RUAN'S POV
Today, I was scheduled to meet my stepmother in our family house in America. Malas lang dahil kinabukasan ay ang pagbabalik ni Zalaria sa Derrivy. “Will you be there, my Supreme?” I shall be there. “I will host the assessment.” “Does the Second knows about it, my Supreme?” I nodded while fixing the sleeves of the plain white shirt I was wearing. “I already sent him my orders. He have probably read it by now.” My brother, Rye, as the Second— the second highest title inside Derrivy, was responsible for arranging an assessment for those who took a long break or undergoing the process to re-enter the organization. Zalaria would undergo an assessment and I wanted to be the host. Supposedly, the Second was the one who shall do it. However, it was not like I was breaking the rule— I was just bending it a little. Gustong-gusto ko na siyang makita. Ervo nodded for the second time as he scanned the pile of papers he was carrying. “How about Sever, my Supreme? When is his estimate
Discreet Nights Chapter 55: RUAN'S POV
“Supremo, I think I need to tell you about this thing...” We were inside Zalariaʼs room. Pumasok kami nang lumabas na ang mga doktor. They said she's already fine— kinakailangan na lang na maghilom ang mga sugat niya at malinisan araw-araw upang maiwasan ang infection. I felt relieved that she didn't lose plenty of blood. “What is it?” I asked while my eyes were on Zalaria. I felt like my heart was being pierced with millions of needles while thinking about what happened to her. “The main reason why she chose to continue her job here is because she wants to find you.” Natahimik ako sa narinig. “The guilt is eating me up, Supremo. Kilala kita... alam ko na ikaw ang hinahanap niya. Pero...” Huminga ako nang malalim. “I understand what you're feeling, Sever. But it's all for the better. I'd rather die with my longing for my family than to risk their lives. Look what Rye did to her... halos isang araw lang akong nawala.” “Don't you think it's better if she'll end her job in Der
Discreet Nights Chapter 56: RUAN'S POV
I wanted to be close to Zalaria, so I made the plan for her to do the move instead. I'm not saying that the plan was great. In fact, I don't think it was right. The plan was made out of my frustration and desperation. Hindi ako makagalaw upang mapalapit sa kaniya at sa tulong ng plano na ibigay sa kaniya ang misyon na 'yon, siya ang kusang gagalaw upang lumapit sa akin. The Sleverions doesn't have a good record in Derrivy dahil nga hinaharangan nito ang ilan sa mga misyon ng pangalawang grupo. “Well, let's say that the Supreme of Derrivy now wants to kill the Verse of Sleverions after years of letting him meddle with the organization's businesses.” Ngumiwi si Sever sa narinig. “Sana maayos ka pa, Supremo. Seryoso ka ba riyan? Ipapapatay mo ang sarili mo? Sa taong gusto mo?” I chuckled as my shoulders moved for a shrug. “They don't know. She doesn't know. I think it won't be a huge problem.” Halos hindi makapagsalita si Sever sa gulat dahil sa narinig mula sa akin. “Surely
Discreet Nights Chapter 57: RUAN'S POV
“Did I tell you to leave, my servant? You are supposed to stay here with me.” I watched how she bowed her head at me before sitting quietly at the chair beside me. Tila hindi niya inaasahan ang sinabi ko. If only I could tell her to remove her mask for me to be able to see her whole face and her reactions... but I chose not to bend the rules for tonight. Nagsimulang umingay ang buong silid nang magsimulang magtanong si Caiusent. Hindi ko alam kung may problema ba siya sa biglaang pag-uwi ko. He won't stop talking about it that I even brought out my gun to make him leave. When I secretly looked at Zalaria, I saw how she stared at the gun that I placed at the table afterwards. Base sa mga mata niya, alam kong hindi naman siya nabigla nang ilabas ko 'yon. The side of my lips even rose up when I noticed how long she stared at my gun. Parang gusto niyang kunin 'yon bigla at itutok sa akin. I'm not going to lie. I was testing if she was going to make a move. Pero mukhang tama nga an
