GRAY

It's been a week since Edison's relentless pursuit of my downfall began. The stalking, the lawsuits, the threats—it has been a relentless barrage aimed at destroying everything I've worked so hard to build. But I refuse to let fear consume me.

Ang suggestion ni Jessica na manatili na lang muna rito sa Agrianthropos at gawin munang online ang mga meeting at work related ay isang matalinong hakbang para makapagplano.

“Hey, Gray. How are things on the island? Alam kong malakas ka naman at matapang but I can't help but to be worried about you,” Jessica is on the other line. Nasa loob siya ng opisina niya ngayon, kaharap niya ang laptop habang kumakain siya ng lunch.

“Peaceful, just as we hope. How are you holding up, Jess? Any progress on dealing with Edison?” I asked, curious about her mission on dealing with Edison's mess.

“Kumalma ka, magiging maayos din ang lahat, Gray. I've been working tirelessly to counter his accusations and build a solid defense. It's not going to be easy,

    GRAYNasa kinikinita ko nang mangyayari ang eksenang ito, na magiging mainit ang event na ito sa mga mata ni Edison Fiumara. Hindi ko lang inakala na sa ganitong paraan niya ako dadalihin. Tuso talaga ang matandang ‘yon, wala nang makapipigil sa kaniya at lahat gagawin niyang talaga para mapabagsak ako.Controversy for the sake of attention is a cheap tactic, and I won't stand for it. Isang tao lang ang kilala ko na makakagawa nito.— si Edison.Tarantado siya.I looked around the room, my mind still reeling from the intense interview. Tapos na ang presscon ngunit kumukulo pa rin ang dugo ko dahil sa nangyari. Ang mga kasamahan kong sina Yohan Enrique, Damien, Kier, at Alexander ay pinuntahan at pinalibutan agad ako nang makababa kaming lahat sa stage. I can sense the concern in their presence. Yohan's voice broke the silence. "Grayson, how are you feeling? That was a rough interrogation they put you through."“I'm fine.” I let out a sigh, trying to gather my thoughts,"That interview

    GRAYSa pagdaan ng mga oras ay hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako ang malamig na sahig. The cramped cell seemed to close in on me, amplifying the weight of my predicament. Nang umabot sa aking tenga ang ingay mula sa mga presong kasama ko rito ay nagising na rin ako mula sa aking pagkakatulog.I blinked my eyes open to find the faces of my fellow detainees hovering over me. They wore mischievous grins, their eyes alight with excitement. One of them nudged me, jolting me fully awake."Hoy, rich kid, gumising ka na! Pinagigising ka ni chief!" sigaw ng isa sa kanila na may kislap na kapilyuhan sa boses.I groggily pushed myself up, malabo pa rin ang isip ko sa pagtulog. Ang tunog ng mga susi na umaalingawngaw at ang pag-scrape ng metal sa metal ang siyang naghikayat sa akin na bumangon. Bumukas ang pinto ng selda, tumambad sa akin ang isang pulis na nakatayo sa harapan ko."Bumangon ka, Fiumara. Lilipat ka na," utos ng opisyal, ang kaniyang tono ay masungit at may awtoridad.

    GRAYAs consciousness slowly returned to me, the haze of pain and disorientation began to dissipate. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dimly lit room. A surge of discomfort coursed through my battered body, every movement reminding me of the brutal beating I had endured.I blinked several times, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Gradually, the figures in the room came into focus. Standing near the doorway were the stoic bodyguards, their eyes fixed on me with a mix of concern and vigilance. Z, my ever-loyal friend and confidant, leaned casually against the wall, a mischievous glint in his eyes."Well, well, look who decided to wake up. I warned you, Gray, and now you owe me 1 million pesos and a new car for this little ordeal." Ang mapang-asar na boses ni Z ang bumungad sa akin na pinaresan pa ng ngitimg-aso na napaskil sa labi niya na nakapagpataas ng kilay ko."Is that so?" Matipid kong sagot, may bahid ng kawalang-interes ang boses ko.Z let out a chuckle, a knowing g

    GRAYIsang linggo matapos ang kaguluhan, bumalik ako saglit sa Manila para huminga at ayusin ang ilang mga gusot— sa trabaho, sa negosyo, pati na ilang mga connection at endorsement na nanganib dahil sa kagagawan ni Edison.I was in the kitchen, sitting on the sleek island countertop, savoring the rich notes of my all-time favorite Filius wine as it danced across my palate. The deep crimson liquid cast a captivating glow against the pristine marble surface, a momentary respite from the harsh realities that consumed my world. It was in the midst of this rare indulgence that the intrusive ring of my phone shattered the tranquil ambiance.Sa isang kontroladong buntong-hininga, inilapag ko ang baso at inabot ang cellphone, ang malamig na haplos nito ay tila nagpapaalala sa bigat na sumasabay sa bawat galaw ko.Ang pangalan ni Talitha ang nagliwanag sa screen, na hinihimok akong sagutin ang tawag. Nag-aatubili, pinindot ko ang accept button at itinaas ang telepono sa aking tainga, ang akin

    JESSICAMy heart raced with worry as I hung up the phone with Tali, Grayson's secretary. The news she had just delivered sent a jolt of fear coursing through my veins. Grayson, the man I loved and admired above all else, was in danger. Without a second thought, I abandoned my plans for the day and made my way to FiuScent.Grayson and I had been through so much together—his rise to power, his battles, and his triumphs. I had witnessed his coldness, his unwavering determination, and his strength. And through it all, I had been by his side, not just as a friend, or a business partner, nor as his personal lawyer but also as someone who is silently loving him from a far. The depth of my feelings for Grayson went beyond words. He was my rock, the one who understood me like no one else. I had seen the darkness that resided within him, and yet, I loved him fiercely. I admired his resilience, his ability to navigate the treacherous waters of his world with a cold resolve.So when I received

    JESSICAHindi ko namalayan na nakaidlip pala ako, umayos ako ng pagkaka-upo dahil nakaramdam ako ng pangangalay. Ang aking mga mata ay nag-adjust sa madilim na ilaw sa loob ng sasakyan. Napatingin ako sa dashboard clock para tignan kung anong oras na."Ala-una na pala..." bulong ko sa sarili, hindi lang pala idlip ang ginawa ko kung'di mahimbing na tulog. Bahagya pa akong napatulala bago ko nilingon si Grayson, na nakaupo sa driver's seat, ang kaniyang mga mata ay nakatutok sa daan. "Ligtas na ba tayo?" tanong ko."I think so," ani Grayson at nilingon ako "Nailigaw ko na naman sila, sa tingin ko ngayon ay ligtas na tayo."Nakaramdam ako ng saglit na kaginhawahan. Sumandal ako sa upuan, napako ang tingin ko sa mga nadaranang streetlights. Ang tensyon na bumalot sa amin sa aming pagtakas ay dahan-dahang nagsimulang maglaho, napalitan ng isang pakiramdam ng kalmado— pero hindi nagpapakasiguro.Habang nasa byahe kami ay naaninag ko ang pamilyar na berde at puting logo ng isang Starbucks si

    GRAYSONI never thought I'd find myself in a situation like this, sprawled out on a plush bed in a room, surrounded by the subtle scent of roses and scented candle. Jessica's lips are warm against mine, and her fingers trace lazy patterns on my back. The echoes of our recent vows still linger in the air. Sa wakas, kasal na kaming dalawa ni Jessica. She is finally my Mrs. Fiumara.As I deepen the kiss, I can feel the weight of the gold band on my finger, a constant reminder that I am now entertwine with my best friend, now my wife's life."Gray," sambit ni Jessica nang tumigil siya sa paghalik sa mga labi ko. "Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na kasal na tayo."I meet her gaze, "Believe it, Jess," I reply in a low tone. "We made it happen."Her fingers play with the buttons of my shirt as she smiles, the warmth reaching her eyes. "I never imagined a life like this, with a mafia guy as my husband."I gave her a half smile. "Well, believe it, Jess. We're in this together now."She leans

    GRAYSONTinapos ko lang ang isang linggong burol at libing ni Yuri para walang masabi sa akin ang pamilya ko. Sinubukan ko naman na pagluksaan ang kapatid ko, sadyanh hindi ko lang talaga maramdaman na kaluksa-luksa siya. Nasusuklam ako sa ginawa niya, her reason is not justifiable. Surrounded by the whispers of mourning, I couldn't muster an ounce of emotion. No sadness, no remorse. Just emptiness. Yuri's burial was done— swift, like a chapter closed in a book I never wanted to read. Naroon ako, oo, pero hindi para makiramay kung'di para kamuhian siya kahit na bangkay na siya, and sooner ay madedecompose na tulad sa ginawa niya sa mama ko at kay Grace. Ni hindi ko matignan ang walang buhay niyang katawan.She deserves it.Buhay ang kinuha niya kaya buhay niya rin ang siningil ko. Killing my sister was just business, a harsh reality I had accepted.

My family, Señora Diana sat solemnly, Enrico with his wife and kids, Angela beside her secretary Chami, and my niece and nephew, Luigi and Nashi. But Melody, Yuri's daughter, was kneeling by the coffin, tears streaming down her face. Depite of it, I feel nothing. "Sit down, Jess," I whispered, guiding her to a seat. Behind Señora Diana and Angela. I took my place beside her, eyes scanning the room. Yuri's betrayal echoed in my mind; the pain, the anger. But today, I wore the mask of grief, concealing the truth that only I and Jessica shared. "Gray," sambit ni Señora Dianan nang lingonin niya ako. "Wala na ang ate mo." "Opo, señora," tipid kong wika.

    GRAYSON I gazed upon Yuri, my half-sister, who had betrayed me. Yuri's eyes met mine, she is still defiant even in her battered state. She is just as ruthless as I am—someone not to be taken lightly. She's a formidable force, a person who demands attention and respect. Her actions speak louder than words, proving she's a force to be reckoned with, much like myself. She is not merely a player; she's a mastermind, orchestrating her moves with a deadly elegance.Yuri's motives remain shrouded in mystery for me, it remained an elusive puzzle. Hindi ko pa rin maintindihan kung ano ang rason ni Yuri para gawin ang karumal-dumal na bagay na 'yon sa Mama ko.Pinaliligiran siya nina Janus, Ely, TJ, at ng iba pa, hinihintayang signal ko para ituloy nila ang nasimulan. Pikit na ang isang mata ni Yuri, dugo na rin ang tumutulo sa noo niya at hindi na pawis."Boss," sambit ni Janus habang pinatutunogang buko ng kanyang mga daliri. "Just say the word, and we'll make her regret every damn thin

Nagpanggap akong tulog, nanatili akong nakapikit at hindi gumagalaw. "Jessica, love, stay in bed. I have business to attend to," bulong niya at hinagkan ako sa pisngi. Maya-maya pa ay naulanigan ko ang mga yabag ni Grayson na patungo sa banyo ng kwarto niya.I let my breathing slow, suppressing any hint of awareness. His departure, however, didn't escape my senses. The faint creak of the bathroom door signaled his entrance. Nang umalis siya ay doon na ako kinutuban. Bumangon ako at tinungo ang pintuan ng banyo, hindi ito nakasarang maigi. I pressed my ear against the slightly ajar door, straining to catch every word that passed between Gray, at sa tingin ko kausap niya ngayon ang isa sa mga tauhan niya."Zamir, make sure Yuri pays for her betrayal," naulanigan ko ang malamig na tinig ni Gray, wala itong emosyon hidni tulad kagabi.
