CHAPTER 37KHORAHINDI KO akalaing iuurong ni Ace ang pinagplanuhan namin. His father, Lord Frietz, trusted him in this plan pero hindi ito matutuloy.Sabi ni Ace sa amin na narinig ni Leigh ang kanyang pakikipag-usap sa telepono ni D.G. At kung itutuloy namin ito ngayon, at alam ni Leigh na may balak kami ngayon, tiyak malalaman na niya kung ano ang main highlight ng organisasyon. At hindi namin yun hahayaang mangyari.Pero hindi ibig sabihin na iniurong ni Ace ang plano ay wala na kaming gagawin ngayon. Nandito na kami, eh, so dapat may gagawin kami ngayon.Kasalukuyan kong kasayaw ngayon si Dos. Nasa gitna kami ngayon, sinasabayan ang tugtog ng musika. I saw Leigh is still on the table while Eun-ji is still waiting for him to offer a dance.On our side was Harry and Yuna, a.k.a Akira girl, the Great Hacker. Kilalang kilala ko siya. Alam kong sa simula pa lang ay niloko na niya si Leigh na siya ang kababata nito.She is far from Aliyah. Mabait, masayahin, at palangiti si Aliyah. Per
CHAPTER 38LEIGHTON WAJEEHPAGKATAPOS NG nangyari noong Acquaintance Party ay nagkulong ako sa kwarto. Even my mom could barely talk to me. Ilang araw kong pilit na i-absorb lahat. Bakit? Bakit pareho sila ng mata? Si Eun-ji ba ang pumatay sa daddy ko? Iyan ang mga katanungan na gusto ko ng kasagutan. But I don't know if I can handle the truth.Today is the Villaluz Assemble. Isang especial na araw para sa mga Villaluz and relatives. This is the day that everyone will finally know me as a Villaluz, the heir of the richest family in the whole world. I'm not exaggerating. You heard me right. Iyan ang pilit kong iniisip ngayon. Hindi ko nalang muna inintindi sa ngayon ang patungkol kay Eun-ji. Maybe I will resume my investigation after this assemble... alone. Yes, I will seek justice for my father alone. Without their help. Then suddenly, I heard three knocks from the door of my room. "Leigh, my son... are you done packing your things?" sigaw ni Mommy sa labas ng aking kwarto."Almos
CHAPTER 39HARRY JEFSOVILLEANG SAYA ng game!Ewan ko. Ang gaan ng kalooban ko ngayon. Yung VR game na nilaro namin ni Drake ay parang naging sisiw nalang sa akin, though parang masakit siya sa mata na para kang mapupuwing pero hindi naman masakit.Yes, after what happened back at Yuna's house, nakigmeet ako kay Drake para maglaro ng VR. Drake asked me before that time and we made a deal so I could not say no to him because I had sex with my girlfriend. Deep inside of me, I find it awkward to stay more time with Yuna after what I did to her. Parang nagi-guilty ako bigla. I needed time to distract my mind before I make things clear. Sa totoo lang, I did not expect that one to happen, never. But what is done is done. We both like what happened so better play the role. I have been thinking that whatever the result, I will take full responsibility. Yes, tama ang iniisip mo. When that happened, wala akong suot na kahit anong contraceptive. As I said, I did not expect that to happen. And
CHAPTER 40LEIGHTON WAJEEHTHIS IS the moment that all the people are waiting for. Villaluz is really a known family. Considered as the world's richest family. Lahat ay kilala ang pamilyang Villaluz. Isa sa trademark ng pamilya ay ang V company na may branch saan mang sulok ng mundo."We should go now to the backstage." saad ni Mommy sabay tapik sa balikat ko. Tinanguan ko lamang siya.Nandito na kami sa Questas Hotel kung saan ginaganap ang event. And as what I've said earlier, Villaluz is a very well-known family, kaya, may nakikita akong medias sa loob. Kukunan nila ng live coverage ang event para makita ng lahat ng tao ang pangyayari dito. Some of them are Filipinos and some are Foreign people-carrying big cameras.As much as possible, hindi kami nagpapakita sa mga taong nandito. Yes, seeing us should be in surprise. They should be really surprise kung sino ang i-introduce na bagong member ng clan-which is, unfortunately, me-kaya my mom and I immediately went to the backstage kung
CHAPTER 41BLAZEI SMIRKED UPON knowing that there will be an introduction of the new member of Villaluz. Sa pagkakatanda ko, once a Villaluz turned 18, 'yan ang pagkakataon na ma-introduce ka sa lahat. But what about me? I am already 30 years old. Pero bakit hindi nila ako in-introduce?Stupid family!And correction, hindi ko gustong maging part ng pamilya nila. That Leonard, my sh*tty father is a worthless trash. Deserve niya kung nasaan man siya ngayon. Maybe, he's in hell kung saan siya nababagay.I am proud to say, that I am the one who killed him 8 years ago. He's the reason why my mother suffered a lot and died! Siya ang dahilan kung bakit ako naulila!And let me tell you a secret why I was able to kill my dear father. First, it was my will. Iyon ang kagustuhan ko and my second father, who is the head of this organization, grant my request. Second, he commanded one of the closest friends of Leonard to call him and say something that can trigger his mind. He had this dilemma tha
CHAPTER 42SAHARA KIMTHE COMMOTION started as man in 30's appeared on the stage. He introduced himself as another son of Leonard Villaluz.Am I shocked? Definitely, no. I already know that Leonard, Eun-ji's father, had his first son from his first lover. I knew it because it's my nature to know everything. Even about Sabrina who had a first son aside from Leighton to another man. The situation right here is really confusing and worse than everyone knows.I also knew that that man's family owns big organization---the Join our Saint. That's the organization that I thoroughly investigated. I knew their plan because Heptas told me before she died. What happened now was the thing that I also expected to happen.The fact that they already appeared to the people right now only means one thing: their plan had already been planted. I honestly felt bad about it. I had been keeping an eye to their organization since then yet I could not do something to stop them. They indeed have strong accompl
CHAPTER 43HARRY JEFSOVILLEI WAS STUNNED.Hindi agad ako nakasagot sa kaniya kasi hindi ko alam kung sasabihin ko ba sa kaniya ang totoo o hindi. I and Drake freaking used their tool! We played VR game...No...I seemed the only one between the two of us only used the VR tool. Nasa separate cubicle kami and for sure, hindi siya naglaro nung mga oras na iyon. He was only there to accompany me. Drake planned to kill me... And now I realized kung bakit ganoon nalang ang naramdaman ko sa mata matapos akong maglaro ng VR."Tell me, H-Harry... Ano'ng pinagawa ni Drake sa 'yo kanina?" Yuna asked again. I could feel her voice tensed. Napatingin muna ako sa lupa at pagkatapos ay tumingin sa kaniya. "W-Wala... namasyal lang kami kanina." I lied.Ayokong sabihin sa kaniya ang totoo. Sa ngayon, ayokong mag-aalala siya sa akin. I needed her to leave this place as soon as possible. I want her to be safe dahil kung sasabihin ko sa kaniya ngayon ang totoo, baka hindi na siya makapokus.Napatingin a
CHAPTER 44-3-SA GITNA ng kaguluhan sa loob at labas ng Questas Hotel, Sabrina and Alfred were running across every hallway. Blaze's minions recognized them, by nodding at them, kung kaya ay walang sagabal sa pagtakbo nila papuntang sasakyan. They headed towards the back portion of the hotel kasi matatandaang doon sila dumaan ng kaniyang anak na si Leighton bago pa man magsimula ang event to avoid the crowd. Matapos ang ilang hakbang ay narating na nila ang sasakyan ni Leighton. Sa loob, makikita ang bag na hinanda ng kaniyang bago sila umalis ng bahay kanina. He and Sabrina agreed that after the event, they would get their things in the car before they would hoop on the second plane. Sabrina immediately grabbed her bag from the passenger's seat. Pagkatapos ay kinuha niya ang maliit na device---a communication device which she always uses to communicate the head of the Join our Saint organization, Lord Frietz.She then pressed the red button and after three beeps, they heard old, y
EPILOGUELEIGHTON WAJEEHCHANGE REALLY is the only thing that remains constant in this world. Even though how tough the world throws at you, let's just all remember that everything will change. From tough, everything will be just alright. From sorrow, it will turn into joy. From cry to laughter.And from worst, chaotic, and messy situation changed into peaceful and back to the usual one. "Leigh, let's go." I am in front of the mirror, fixing the collar of my jacket when I heard a voice in front of the door of my bedroom. Tumingin ako sa kaniya at ginawaran siya ng napakatamis na ngiti. "How do I look, mom?" I asked her. That's my mom right there. The one and only Sabrina Estrella-Hedalgo."Good as always, anak." sabi niya matapos niyang tingnan ang kabuuan ko. I just responded with chuckle while walking closer to her. Inakbayan ko na lamang si mommy at saka pumunta na lamang kami sa labas para mag-abang ng masasakyan. It's been a year since the worst scenario ended. That night,
CHAPTER 64-3-"WAIT, I think I can deactivate the nano virus."Done with some manipulations, the VB has already dominated the entire system. It wasn't tracked down since it has the same identity as nano virus, but still loyal to its purpose, to stop the spreading.But somehow, with the same identity as the nano virus, Yuna found an opportunity to take advantage of it so that it can deactivate the nano virus. And that is by letting those nano virus copy what the VB orders.To illustrate this, since the VB has a form of a nano virus, the nano virus will think it as the same as them, so it might somehow follow what it does. Hence, if the VB self-destruct, the nano virus might follow its destruction that would surely stop the nano manipulation in human brain. In a nutshell, Yuna can control the nano virus, can even deactivate them.But that is just theoretical. It is not a hundred percent sure that those nano virus would follow."It is... quite sacrificial. If this fails, we don't have o
CHAPTER 63-3-"Alright, we're in!"YUNA'S FACE brightened when suddenly, a green circle pops out from her Cabinet's hologram. That small green circle scatters around the entire screen until a couple of word appeared.'Stealing Access...'After that, a series of dots moves below those words, an indication that the software is trying to do its job to have a complete access.Just like her, Leighton's face was painted with a curve on his lips. It was burst with an excitement and a taste of victory, especially when the loading succeed.The first couple of word vanished and it was replaced by another two words.'Access Complete!'Yuna was fetched by black screen with different codes running upward through her screen. She then manipulated a few touches and later a grid of different areas shows. Those are the access of the base's surveillance cameras. Such as the lobbies, operating rooms, and other protected areas. "Phase one is done, I just hope the rest will go well."Yuna swiped that scr
CHAPTER 62DOSNAPATITIG MUNA ako sa babae matapos niyang sabihin iyon. She showed us two green flash drives that I couldn't distinguish what type of flash drives these are. "Well, you don't have any choice but to trust me." I just answered her. I knew it's really surprising that I suddenly changed my course. They knew me as one of Blaze's right hands---or, should I say, minions. Yeah, minions. Noong oras na kinalaban ko ang lalaking si Ashley sa Questas Forest---ang gabi kung saan muntik ko nang mapatay sina Yuna at Harry, Ashley spared my life. I was struggling that night and when I acted to run away from him, he just let me. Hindi niya ako hinabol para patayin. And the next thing I saw was Blaze just easily shot Khora. I was so shocked that time. Khora was important to me because we've been friends and partners-in-crime ever since. And starting that night, I just realized one thing. Napagtanto ko na maybe, he didn't really considered us family. And time comes, gagawin niya rin
CHAPTER 61THIRD PERSONEONKIE, as what Eun-ji stated, is a group of four assassins. But people, who have known that name around Asia, thought that it is a name for a single heartless and frightful assassin roaming around the continent to hunt its prey.They called them heartless and frightful assassins because they believe EONKIE targets random people in a gruesome way. As their signature, they always cut the victim's manhood and hang around near its dead body.Nikolina Eun-ji Kim of South Korea, the knight of EONKIE and sword is her technical expertise. Kiera Lee of Japan, the crowd control specialized in lashing a whip.Lice Nekath Zy of Thailand, the marksman of the group trained to master shurikens, a weapon in the form of a star with projecting four blades.And the pride of China, Oharra Zen Gu, known as the dasher for her excellence skill in manipulating dual blades.Together, they made EONKIE.It was horrifying to all men thinking that someday EONKIE will also come to them an
CHAPTER 60LEIGHTON WAJEEEH'That school... that LSA really did this!''Sila ang nasa likod ng mass suicide kanina. Kailangan mong iwasan ang tinatawag nilang eye piece.''Join our saint, join our saint...''Another Leonard's family! Sahara Kim and Nikolina Eun-ji Kim-Villaluz!'I REPEATEDLY shook my head because of the voices and scenes that keeps flashing into my mind. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari. My eyes still close and all I could feel is the softness sheet behind my back.'Wait, you forgot to introduce me! I am also a Villaluz! Also a son of Leonard Villaluz! I am Blaze Villaluz! And I am here to kill all of you!''Leigh is not Leonard's son. He's not a Villaluz. Anak naming siya ni Fred. K-Kaya huwag mo siyang idamay dito...' 'I am Zhavira. S-Sorry, L-Leigh... for everything...''Die!''Leigh, anak. Kapit ka lang nang m-mahigpit.' And the next scene happened went black.Napabalikwas agad ako sa pagkahiga dahil sa mga naalala ko. Sumakit ang ulo ko at napatulala ako sa
CHAPTER 59-3-HINDI ALAM ni Leighton kung ano ang sasabihin niya. He looked daze, yet he responded to Eun-ji's hug. As Eun-ji broke the hug, agad niyang pinahiran ang kaniyang luha and gave him a smile. "Welcome back." she muttered.Pagkatapos ay pumasok na sila sa loob ang isinara ang pintuan. Dim surroundings welcome Leighton's eyes. They did not turn the lights on because they worry that it would catch attention of the Nanos. They just used lamps and candles, enough for them to see the surroundings, their faces.Eun-ji guided Leighton to sit on the couch while Sahara just stood first beside him."Oh, finally, tita Sahara. You're here already---"Mula sa kaniyang kwarto, lumabas si Yuna. Napatigil siya sa kaniyang pagsasalita nung nakita niya ang taong nakaupo sa couch, kaharap ni Eun-ji."L-Leigh?!" she muttered in shock and surprise. Gaya ni Eun-ji, her tears automatically flooded. "Oh, my god..."Agad siyang pumunta sa direksiyon ni Leighton and just like what Eun-ji did, she h
CHAPTER 58SAHARA KIMHONESTLY, I'M glad that my people found him. That they found Leigh. Few years ago we already had given up in finding him, not because we just concluded that he's dead but because it was difficult to do so. The moment Ashley told us that he's alive, I immediately made up my mind to check on him there even though it's really hard to leave Santa Luna. Whenever you went outside your house, those Nanos immediately attack you. Yeah, Nanos---that's what they called them, might as well used that term.Anyway, those Nanos seemed very hungry to kill those normal ones, including us. Their minds have been corrupted and controlled. I know for sure that one day will come that they could dominate the whole place, or worse, the whole world. And that is what we needed to stop. However, I admit that my plan went vague and vague as time passes by.I sometimes left Santa Luna to see Leighton. To see how he is; if he's still doing good. However, every time that I went to where he w
CHAPTER 57-3-Two years ago...SA ISANG lugar na puno ng mga taong nagkakasiyahan ay napalitan ng katahimikan at takot. Mangilan-ngilan na lamang ang lumalabas. "A-Anak..." a woman whimpers. Nakatingin siya sa isang batang lalaki na ngayon ay marahang lumalapit sa kaniya."M-Mom... I d-don't know Jexler is already infected..." the boy suddenly cried. 'Yong mga mata niya ay kahit saan na tumitingin. "Hinipan niya ako bigla sa mata at bigla siyang umalis. M-Mom, h-help me. I d-don't want to be like them."Napaluhod na lamang ang babae. Her hands trembles as she looked at her 13-year old son. Agad na lamang siyang napalapit sa kaniyang anak at niyakap ito nang mahigpit. "I t-told you to just stay in our garden..." she whispered with a sob. Pagkatapos ay sinapo niya ang mukha ng bata. "D-Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright." After that, biglang napahawak sa ulo ang bata at ilang saglit pa, bigla itong napatingin sa kaniyang ina. In just a snap, bigla niyang sinugod ang babae.A
