Chapter 23
When Vince arrived in front of the café carrying his black car, he immediately saw Ma'am Safira waiting and opened with the statement,
“I'll drive. You lead me the directions.”
Ma'am Safira was slightly surprised and said nothing. This badboy was able to command her, but she just sighed in defeat.
After they got in the black car, Ma'am Safira told him where to go, and when they arrived in front of a house near the forest, so... all this time, she was just living here? No wonder he can't find it because the place is hidden.
Vince was surprised to see the condition of her house after he got out of the car. Seeing the patchwork of galvanized iron and wood, he couldn't help but felt pity towards her thinking how all her life, she lived in this kind of condition.
But he returned to the truth when her manager went straight to the door of her house without knocking and opened it. She
Usher was surprised by what Ma'am told him and not only him... but the three men as well even though she weren't talking to them. They were suddenly frightened by what Ma'am Jacky had done,especially her nephew.He saw that serious looks many times already, so he knows what it means she does that.“Just follow her instructions,” Ma'am said again.“Besides, combining your four brains and skills, I'm sure you can solve this situation better than the police could have. Maybe you can even get ahead of them.”The four were silenced at first because of that.“I think Ma'am is right,”Clyne said just to break the silence.“With Usher's brains and expertise, we can find a loophole out of this and find Xania in no time. It's just that, her manager is making it hard for us.”The three men looked at Clyne because of that last sentence.“But we can do it, right guys?”Cl
They went around the entire Barangay Tres today.With the map on their hands, they started at the first place her manager said she could go to, the grocery store. On the car, Usher immediately told them togo to the CCTVroom to see if they had any footage of Xania.They were scanning each video that was in the facility and each looked at it intently without missing anything.But as Usher says, Vince has the sharpest eyes of them all so he sees Xania right away.With that, they followed her steps through each CCTVfootage there was.She left that grocery store without anyone taking her.Leaving the grocery store, they scanned back to the information they got in Ma’am Jacky’s interview.“She said here...” Usher said.“...that every time right after she goes to the grocery, she also goes home immediately to cook at her house which is in Barangay Tres too.”“S
Chapter 24When the three left, it was quiet inside the mansion now.Vince is in his room wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt while standing beside the window of his room and through the moonlight coming from it, he looked again at the black card he was holding.There’s a lot going on in his mind now, after what happened earlier.“...don't call the number.”F*ck, and it was even Zend that really said that so how can he not be bothered?He seemed even more tempted to call the number....That night, when Zend came home, he was in his room now holding his cellphone.He opened it and went to his contacts and pressed a number for a call.The call is ringing so Zend puts it to his ear waiting for the other person to answer.“Hello Zend?”the answer on the other line.“Hello Ma'am Jacky,” he replied with a smile.“What is it now?!” 
...Vince is inside his car right now driving in the roads of Barangay Tres.Using a new GPShe installed in the car, he went to the place where the man could be.It was getting darker around where he was driving and it seemed like sometimes Vince couldn't believe that he was still part of Barangay Tres.He even thought he was lost.He stopped at a placewhere the GPS took himand he looked around him but he couldn't see anything, justtrees.He seems to be fooled by his GPS.Is this even the right place?He got out of his car, put on the hood and with a flashlight in his hand, he looked around.He should havethought of bringingtheGPSof that man’s tracker.He thought it would be easy to go to the place at that address, but this is the situation of the place in reality.He was not afraid of the dark and kept looking around the dark forest he is in. 
Vince couldn't believe what he was seeing.As a result, he even dropped the tray he was holding.What really surprised him because the creature inside the cage... is a woman lying on the floor unconscious and alotof scratches on her body and face.“Xania?!”Vince shockingly said.The girl didn't respond so Vince immediately approached the mirror and tapped on it repeatedly.“Xania? Xania, wake up!”Vince shouting behind the glass.The sound on the tapping of the mirror is the reason Xania gradually regained consciousness and opened her eyes.She looked what's behind the glass so she squinted her eyes.There's a man in that same suit that is standing right in front of the glass.What is this again?What's this guy doing here?Is he one of the men who will feed her again?Is this another man that she has to kill again?But how can she?She no
Chapter 25After Ma'am Jacky contacted Vince's three friends, she’s now riding in a taxi telling him an address in Barangay Tres that the driver didn’t know. So with that,Ma'am Jackyjustpointedthe way there.They were on a dark road but Ma'am Jacky immediately noticed a black car parked.“Wait, stop,”Ma'amorderedimmediately and the taxi stopped.“You can drop me here Manong,” Ma'am said as she took the money from her wallet and gave it to the taxi driver.“Just keep the change,” as she got out of the taxi.When the taxi left, she turned on a flashlight on her cellphone to see the road.It was good and she still remembered the way here.Arriving at the end of the forest, she immediately saw the large building uphill.There was no hesitation that she went there immediately and didn’t even mind the men surrounding and
Jacky looked back at Sanjiro.There was silence again before it was broken by, “I understand,” Jacky said.“But didn't you at least even think about how Vince feels towards the beast?” “Ugh,” Sanjiro commented immediately.“Feelings? How could you possibly say that my son has feelings for that animal? My son knows that that beast killed his mother and I know he will kill that beast in his anger.” “But what if that beast didn't actually kill Ate Victoria?”Jacky asked. “Oh come on Jacquilyn,” Sanjiro retorted.“Why are you siding with the beast? Do you know that creature?” “Yes,” Jacky replied.“And I know, beast or not, Xania will never do that.” Sanjiro was shocked.”Xania? Where the f*ck did you even get that name?” “It's the beast's name,” a voice interrupted so the two looked at the speaker.The two were surprised to the one who is standing now in front of the door. “
~~~Mr Victorino is inside his room having his coffee when there is a knock on the door.“Come in,” he commanded and it opened.Mr. Victorino was surprised at whoentered but he immediately smirked.“Wow. You're early Jacquilyn,” Sanjiro said.“I always keep my word, Sajiro,” said Ma'am Jacky.Sanjiro let out a sigh.“There you are again.”Jacky just answered him by rolling her eyes.“So, where is my nephew now?”she asked.“Hmm, actually—”Knock, knock.Sanjiro didn't finish what he was going to say because of the knocking.The two looked at the door because of that.“Sire,” Cliffton called.“Yes Cliffton?”Mr. Victorino replied.“Your son went atthe basement,” Cliffton replied.“Oh great timing,” Sanjiro finished his coffee a
“Ma'am,” a person called suddenly who broke the silence once the two looked at him.“Geoffrey,” Axton said.“Ma'am, Xania is awake,” Geoffrey said.The two were surprised and looked at each other first, before they thought of going back to the clinic at the same time.When they arrived, Yune, Iris, Lizar, Willow and Oriana were still there while Xania was lying on the bed, her eyes open and glimpsed at the three of them before averting her eyes. Ma'am sighed and looked at the others.“Can you leave me and Xania here first?”Ma'am asked, and each of them also answered “Yes” or “Understood”.After they left, Ma'am Safira looked at Xania again but she’s still avoiding looking at her. Ma'am Safira took a chair and placed it beside the bed and sat down.Silence passed between them.When Ma'am Safira's sigh broke it.“I know you're angry, an
After Ma'am left, she reached the shore of the sea because that clinic was so close to it.Now, with no one to see her, pity and grief carved on Ma'am Safira's face.She remembered clearly the look on Xania's face as tears flowed down her face… especially when she remembered that night...No one actually knew that Safira was able to follow Jacky to the building where the organization of Mr.Victorino is.Using her wings, she followed Jacky through the sky.She found it difficult to enter because of the number of people on guard so she knockedthem downone by one so thatthey wouldloseconsciousness.She's using her tails to each person seeing her entering the building at that time and ensures that whenever they lose consciousness, they will not remember they saw her.Using the extended ears on her head as one of her tails, she heard where Xania was imprisoned that's why she came rus
In a dark room, with only the moonlight coming from a window that illuminates that room,Vince is standing by the window staring out in the open like he’s waiting for something.No one knew what he was thinking now asheactuallystared out the window.The silence was interrupted with a knock on the door.Vince said nothing when it opened on its own and his Auntie showed up.“Hey,” Ma'am Jacky smiled at him.Vince didn't say a word but weakly smiled back at her as his reply.“Sorry it took a while,” Ma'am Jacky said and went inside the dark room.But someone came in next.She closed the door and didn't even turn on the light of the room… because there was no light bulb either.She positioned herself in front of the two with her arms crossed on her chest.“So, are you two ready?”Ma'am Safira asked seriously.Ma'am Jacky and Vince looked at ea
