Discreet Nights Chapter 53: RUAN'S POV
“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
Discreet Nights Chapter 58: RUAN'S POV
“Send me your location. Susunduin kita.” Ni hindi na nga ako nagpalit pa ng suot na damit. I immediately grabbed my car keys above my bedside table and rushed to the parking lot. I drove my car like I was in a car race. Mabuti na lang at walang masiyadong sasakyan noong mga oras na 'yon. I had no idea about whom she was with inside the bar. Was she drunk already? Was she comfortable with her surroundings? Anong ginagawa niya sa bar eh hindi nga siya mahilig uminom? “G-Good evening, Sir.” Tuluyang nawala sa isip ko ang pagtataka tungkol doon nang makita ko ng malapitan ang mukha niya nang walang kahit na anong sagabal. Suddenly, her face was the only thing that's on my mind. She was... damn. I don't think the words in my vocabulary are enough to describe her beauty. I couldn't believe that the woman in front of me right now is the mother of my children. Ang suwerte ko naman talaga. She really has a small mole in her nose. I finally saw it clearly. Hindi ko 'yon nakita
Discreet Nights Chapter 59: RUAN'S POV
I thought it was just a minor issue that could be fixed even without me, but I needed to fly back in Spain the same night after dropping off Zalaria at her condo. There was only one person who could be the possible intruder. Our investigation didn't even take half an hour. Altro used his new system that could retrieve deleted CCTV footages. “You are right. It was your brother,” said by Caiusent. Umiling na lang ako habang pinapanood kung paano sinubukang buksan ni Rye ang computer ko. “How did he know the pass code?” nagtatakang tanong ni Sever. I was sure the door was locked before I left. Kailangan din ng pass code bago ito magbukas na kaming dalawa lang ni Sever ang nakakaalam. Sa pinto pa lang, nakapagtataka na kung paano nakapasok ang lalaki. “He is suspended for a month, right? What was he doing here?” asked by Caiusent. Unfortunately, suspension is the heaviest punishment I could throw to Rye for hosting Zalariaʼs assessment and disobeying my order. I watched how R
Discreet Nights Chapter 60: RUAN'S POV
I received a message from Sever the moment my private plane touched the ground. Ilang oras na raw nang umalis si Zalaria na ang paalam ay bibili lang ng kape pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa bumabalik. “I already tried tracking her location, pero hindi ko magawa. The tracker could work whether her phone is on or off. But her location won't show up. Isa lang naman ang ibig sabihin niyon, walang signal sa kung nasaan man siya.” I ended our call after knowing what I needed to know. Nakarating na ako't lahat sa condo ko ngunit hindi pa rin siya matawagan. I haven't felt this hopeless before. I have a lot of connections and it was only this time that they all became useless to me. We later found out about the message she received after reporting for her mission. We couldn't read the content since it was a destructive message, but when Sever logged in to the system, he was notified about it as one of the operators. “It was probably your brother. He used your name. I already blocked his
