ELLIOT JAMES HART (Wild Men Series #4) Chapter Ten: 1.2 Feast
Elizalde's Mansion Elliot NAKARATING kami sa mansyon ng mga Elizalde pasado alas nuwebe na nang gabi mula sa Batangas. Sinalubong kami ng ilan nilang tauhan at mga katulong para igiya papunta s malawak nilang dining area. Gusto kong matawa, dahil wala ni isa sa kanila ang nakakaalam kung sino ang mga bisitang kasama ko. Isa itong surpresa para kay Federico. Hinanap ng mga mata ko ang aking ama at kapatid na si Ezekiel, wala pa ang mga ito. Abala ang ilang kasamahan namin sa negosyo habang nag-uusap ng lapitan ako ni Cameron at abutan ng alak. Nang tanggapin ko iyon ay tinapik niya ako sa balikat. "Ginabi ka yata, trabaho?" Sumimsim ako ng alak at tumango. "Mayroon din akong mga kinausap, sinubukan ko silang paaminin pero mas pinili nilang manahimik. Nakakapagod," seryoso, ngunit may laman kong sagot sa kaniya. Nilingon niya akong awang ang mga labi na parang nakakita ng multo ang gago. Nakipagtitigan ako ng ilang segundo bago siya nakabawi at nagtanong. "Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

Malori"Ma'am, okay na po ang kotse n'yo. Pero kailangan na po palitan ng bago ang baterya. Kung gusto n'yo po ay dalhin n'yo sa shop para kami na po ang magpapalit." Paliwanag ng mekaniko sa akin.Huminga ako ng malalim. "Pero kaya pa naman 'yan hanggang weekend 'di ba?""Kaya naman po,ma'am. Basta dalhin n'yo lang po kaagad para hindi na maulit na tumirik sa gitna ng daan.""Sige po, salamat. Magkano po pala babayaran ko?""Okay na po ma'am. Na-settle na po ni Attorney." Sagot ng isang lalaking kasama.Why do I have these rare feelings the moment I hear his name? Naalala ko tuloy 'yong nangyari noon sa lobby ng building nila. What I felt that time is the same feeling I felt earlier. Mahina kong natampal ang aking noo ng bumalik sa alaala ko ang tagpong iyon. Nakakahiya!"Sige po ma'am, aalis na rin po kami."Tumango na lamang ako dahil wala na naman akong sasabihin o itatanong. Pupuntahan ko na lang siguro siya sa opisina n'ya para magpasalamat. Awkward naman kung tatawag lang ako.

MaloriTumawa na rin ako at mahina kong hinampas ang braso n'ya. "Ano ka ba, Shan! Wala 'no!""Oh my God, Malori Vida! Ilan taon ka na ba? Baka ma-expired na 'yan!" Sabay kaming napatawa ng malakas. Sigurado akong rinig ni Karla sa labas ang ingay namin."Well, honestly, a college friend of mine from UST has attempted to court me. I refused, but he's very determined. So, we're just in a GTKEO stage." I chortle."GT- what?!""Geez! Where have you been Shan? I mean, we're in the getting to know each other stage.""Mind you. Very millennial gal. What's his name huh?" Tanong niya habang naniningkit ang mga mata."Evan. Evan Angelo Ricafort.""Really? One of the Unicef ambassadors?!""Uum, yes.""Say yes! Ricafort 'yan ano! Huwag mo ng pakawalan, ano ka ba?"Sobra akong natawa sa sinabi ng kaibigan ko. Para bang mas excited pa s'ya kaysa sa akin sa kalalabasan ng sitwasyon namin ni Evan. But she's right for the second time today. Evan has everything, kaya nga nag-aalangan ako na magpaligaw

Elliot"I had to keep her safe, and I couldn't let the public see her with me. Raiko is with her, and you know the man.""I know. I got everything you need.""Good." Then I pressed the end call button. It was Sabino on the other line.Facing the glass wall of my office, I turned around and strode back to my chair and resume to read the files my asset had sent me. Still holding my phone, I scroll my contact list and dial Axel's number."Boss?""Fucking impressive, Axel! You did your job well. I'll call you for your next move and make sure no one knows you're working for me.""Yes, boss. I have several photos here from yesterday's event. I will send it to your email now."I didn't get the chance to respond to Axel because someone opened the door and barged inside with my secretary behind her, nervous. My feisty sister had arrived!She turned to face my anxious secretary. "Get out now!"Garie turned to me with an apologetic face. "Attorney?""Leave us," I said with an overbearing tone.M

ElliotRelentlessly, I whammed the table with my own hands. "At sinong gusto mong sisihin ko, ang mga pulis na hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring nagagawa, o ang pamilya natin na sa daming koneksyon ligal man o iligal ay hindi mahanap ang hayup na pumatay kay Eona?!""EJ- ""Ako! Ako lang ang dapat sisihin!""No one is blaming you!""It should have been me. That fucking psycho wanted me, not Eona. And you have no idea how hard this is for me every time I open my eyes and think I'm still breathing. How do I spend my fucking day finding the reasons why?! You have no fucking idea, Elandra!""I do!""Then why the hell warding off Amanda against me?!""I am not protecting her, but you!"My sister's face softens as she tries to shed light on what is in her mind. But for me, it is another way of torment."When Eona died, I saw how traumatised you were and how the awful incident had affected you. I was there. In fits and starts, everyone notices that you're building walls that could separate you
ELLIOT JAMES HART (Wild Men Series #4) Chapter Fourteen: 1.1 Confession
Elliot Keith and I arrived at the location at precisely six in the evening. Founders are currently here, except for Lev and Trace. Keith informed me earlier that they were on the island and having a meeting with one of our associates. Trace assured Keith that they would be here at seven in the evening. I set foot first in the staff house, where Trojan brought my ex-girlfriend, Amanda. I decided to interrogate her before torturing the two men she was with the night of the explosion, whose hands were chained up. Amanda is firmly seated, arms and legs tied on the chair, eyes covered with a white handkerchief. I am viciously looking at her, and the day she betrayed and cheated on me flashed back, and the truth that she conspires with her family to kill me. “Elli,” Amanda called. “Elli, I know it's you.” She swallowed, and I could see how her neck waved from it. I was at a vexed point the moment she called me in an alias that my only beloved sister Eona called me. I motion to Trojan to
ELLIOT JAMES HART (Wild Men Series #4) Chapter Fourteen: 1.2 Dilemma
Elliot Hindi ko iyon pinansin. Dahil sa galit ko sa kaniya, mas nangibabaw sa akin ang organisasyon, ang samahan. “Curse Foedus again and you’ll meet hell in no time!” Trojan pats me on my shoulder to calmly ease the tension. I don't give a damn if Amanda was telling the truth, but there is one noteworthy thing I need to know; the evidence of her fearless revelation and the reason why she ran away from me. “Where is he?” I ask. Mula sa pagkakayuko ay mabilis na itinaas ni Amanda ang kaniyang ulo at nanlalaki ang mga matang nakatingin sa akin. Her eyes welled up with disbelief and fear because Amanda knew who I was referring to. “Elliot please, not him, please!” “Don't make me ask again, for the sake of fucking hell!” “I'm sorry, I… I can't tell, and he's too young to see you like this, please! Huwag mo sa kan’ya ibunton ang galit mo sa akin. Please! Nakikiusap ako, Elliot!” Nilingon ko sina Keith at Trojan, Nakikita ko sa kanilang mga mata ang pagtataka sa pinag-uusapan namin ni
ELLIOT JAMES HART (Wild Men Series #4) Chapter Fifteen: The Young Hart
Elliot Trace was sitting, almost slanting, while his head rested on the backrest of the chesterfield, boringly staring at the ceiling, doing the hits with his dopes. Hindi pa rin ubos ang tinitira ng gago, kaya kung ano-ano na naman ang pumapasok sa utak niya. “Billiard,” he said. Fuck! Trace will not stop and let it rest. He insisted that what he heard was precise. “Pollard.” Mabilis na umayos nang upo si Trace dahil sa sinabi ni Jeru. “Anong pollard?” kunot-noong tanong niya. “Wala lang. It still ends with ‘lard’ word. So, that’s my guess.” Kibit-balikat namang sagot niya. He throws a pillow at Jeru after the fucking piece of ass celebrity brother of ours spills his snafu idea. “Gago! Wala ka naman doon kagabi. Sabog ka ba? Billiard ‘yon. Niyayaya ni Amanda mag-billiard si Eut. Puta! Umayos ka nga!” “Ako pa ang sabog?” Natatawang balik-tanong ni Jeru bago sumimsim ng alak. “Baka naman lizard. May nakitang lizard si Amanda bago mamatay.” It was Daxon. I grimly squeezed my n

Malori“Evan!” Gulat kong bati sa kan’ya.Muli kong nilingon ang kinaroroonan ng mga bisita ng mall, pero wala na ang mga ito roon. Bahagya ko pang sinilip ang tagiliran ng shop, wala talaga.Napalingon na rin tuloy si Evan. “May hinahanap ka ba?”“Huh?”“Sino ba hinahanap mo?” muli niyang tanong.“Ah, wala. Akala ko kasi kakilala ko ‘yong nakita ko sa labas kanina, but… never mind,” pagsisinungaling ko. Kung sasabihin ko man ang totoo, siguradong magtatanong pa siya kaya iniba ko na lang ang usapan. “Ikaw, ano’ng ginagawa mo rito? Akala ko nasa Africa ka?”“Just arrived yesterday. Hindi na kita natawagan kasi, I’m about to surprise you tonight. Kaso, ito nakita kita rito.” Sabay ngiti niya.Guwapo si Evan, mabait at may respeto sa mga babae. Pero minsan pakiramdam ko may iba sa kan’ya. Don’t get me wrong, normal naman siyang tao. Pero sa tuwing magkikita kami o pupunta siya ng studio ay mas lamang pa ang pakiramdam ko na binabantayan niya ako kesa nililigawan.“Malori?” si Ate Misty.
ELLIOT JAMES HART (Wild Men Series #4) Chapter Sixteen: Him, Again
Malori Ano nga ba ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw nating subukang gawin ang isang bagay? Takot? Pagkabigo? O ayaw nating makasakit o masaktan? Para sa akin, lahat. Simula nang magkrus muli ang landas namin ni Atty. Hart sa sarili nilang kumpanya ay hindi na siya nawala sa isip ko. Kaya siguro umabot pa sa puntong napanaginipan ko siya ng husto. Hindi lang basta panaginip, dahil pakiramdam ko, lahat iyon ay totoo. Gusto ko siyang lapitan. Bakit? Hindi ko rin alam. Ilang beses ko siyang pinanood mula sa malayo. Ang mga paa ko na parang may sariling utak ay nagtatalo kung lalakad ba ako palapit o palayo sa kan’ya. Sa huli, nanaig ang takot kong ipagtabuyan ng isang katulad n’ya. Dahil pakiramdam ko, hindi ako ang babaeng gusto n’ya. Sino ba naman ako para paglaanan ng oras? Wala! Isang linggo na ang lumipas simula ng tumuntong siya rito sa studio. Pero sa halip na ikatuwa ko iyon, nabigo lang ako sa nalaman ko. Tama lang pala ang naging desisyon ko, ang lumayo. Akala ko, dahil sa katoto
