Isang mansiyon sa gitna ng gubat ang binigay na address ni Agent Z. It's two miles away from the busiest business district in the capital. May isang katulong sa mansion na siyang nagbukas ng pinto sa kanila. Pinaghain sila ng makakain ng katulong na siyang nilantakan ni Carol nang walang pasubali. Awkward namang tumingin ang tauhan sa kaniya. Humihingi ito ng permisong kumain. Her lips twitched and rolled her eyes. Ngumiti ang tauhan at umabot na rin ng pagkain sa center table. Nilibot ni Jenica ang tingin sa loob ng mansion. Pansin niya ang ilang devices na nagpi-prevent ng signal transmission sa loob ng mansion. Tumaas ang kilay ni Jenica. Ilang oras silang naghintay bago nagising nang tuluyan si Agent Z. Nang makita nito si Carol ay umasim ang mukha ng lalaki. "You're still here," matabang nitong sambit bago naupo sa sofa sa tapat ni Jenica. Umirap si Carol. "May gana ka pang magsungit, ha? Ikaw ang dahilan kung ba't naipit ako sa gulo!"Tinaas ni Agent Z ang kamay at lumapit
Well, what is she doing in that location in the first place? Jenica sighed and looked at Jared. Alam niyang nasa mid-20s pa lang ang notorious enemy ng HQ na si Jared but she was not expecting him to be this young looking. Umikhim si Jenica at umiling. "Since the guard won't let me in, then I won't push my luck." Tumingin siya diretso sa mga mata ni Jared at ngumiti. "Thanks anyway," aniya saka humakbang tungo sa kotse niyang naka-park sa hindi kalayuan. Ramdam ni Jenica ang mainit na titig ni Jared sa likuran niya pero hindi siya lumingon ni huminto man lang. She hopped in the car and drove it away in an instant. Tinanaw pa niya sa rearview mirror ang bulto ni Jared na hindi man lang kumibo sa kinatatayuan nito. She heaved a sigh of relief. Marahan niyang inikot ang manibela. Jenica had almost blown her cover! Mabuti na lang at hindi siya nakilala ni Jared. He might think that she's familiar but she believe he won't know her as Agent J in an instant. Whenever she was in a missi
Pinikit niya ang mga mata at nagbingi-bingihan, kahit na nanunuyo ang lalamunan niya sa bulong ng asawa. Jenica tried to calm her breathing but the hand resting on her waist was restless. Paunti-unti 'yong dumudulas tungo sa malapad niyang balakang. Dumilat siya at mabilis na hinuli ang malikot na kamay ni Alex. "Stop it," she hissed, frowning a little, when his hand almost reached her forbidden place. Alex chuckled. Maya-maya pa ay tumaas ang kamay nito sa dibdib niya, scooping those bunnies like they're his favorite toys. Jenica drew a breathe at mabilis na siniko ang lalaki. She moved, sat on his stomach -- looking down at him like a proud goddess -- and pinned both of his hands above his head. "Should I cut these naughty hands, mmm?" tanong niya, squinting a little at him. Alex just smiled and stared at her, feasting on Jenica's curves that's visible because of the tight nightgown she was wearing. "Baby, you're so hot," sabi ni Alex. Umismid si Jenica at akmang aalis sa
She heard footsteps coming down from the stairs and Jenica squinted her eyes and crossed her arms against her chest. It seemed like her husband was a good friend with her enemy? Or maybe not?Nakita niya nalang kasi na kinaladkad ng mga security guards si Jared palabas nang sumenyas si Alex. "Who is that guy?" tanong niya, glancing at him and studying his expression.Tumayo si Alex sa gilid niya at sabay nilang tinanaw ang nagdadabog na lalaki sa tapat ng main door. "A nuisance," kunot-noong sagot ni Alex sabay tingin sa gawi niya. "What would you like to eat?" "Chicken," sagot niya. Iginiya siya ni Alex sa kusina and Jenica stole a glance at the main door, where she saw Jared standing there. The man grinned when their eyes met and Jenica smirked in response. Tumaas naman ang kilay ni Jared pero kalaunan ay gumanti ng ngiti. Jenica smiled in secret and followed Alex onto the kitchen. Pero hindi pa roon nagtatapos ang pagdaupang-palad nila ni Jared. Kinabukasan ay nakita niya ang
"Am I obliged to answer your question?" tanong ni Jenica. Umasim ang mukha ni Gia at akmang itataas ang kamay para sana sampalin siya pero umiwas si Jenica at humakbang palayo. Narinig pa niya ang nagtitimping impit na sigaw ni Gia sa likod pero hindi na niya pinansin ang babae. She didn't know why the two of them always cross paths. Parang itinadhana talagang mag-away sila sa public places. Gia should be thankful na wala siyang time para makipag-away dahil hindi talaga siya magpapatalo sa rambolan. But she'll admit. There's something off about Gia's presence that she needs to find our sooner. Hindi kalaunan ay narating niya ang likod ng hospital. Isa iyong malawak na bakanteng lote at walang katao-tao, but Jenica knew better. The place was full of discarded medical equipments and knee-length wild grasses were growing around them. Hindi kalayuan ay may abandonadong subdivision na ayon sa mga tagaroon na pinamahayan na umano ng masasamang elemento. Hindi naman naniniwala si Jenica
It was a one night's mistake. Nagising si Jenica sa kama ni Alex and she didn't know what to think while looking at her husband's sleeping face. For all those years living with the 'dying' him, Jenica was in good hands. Actually, Alex treated her well except on circumstances that'll involve his family.Jenica knew that his family was a bunch of greedy dogs whose after their master's crumbs, and it was the reason why Alex had to marry her in order to secure his wealth against those bunch of dogs. Kaya sa ilang taong pananatili niya sa poder nito ay hindi naman talaga siya minaltrato ng asawa niya. Sadyang may pagkakataon, lalo na kapag bumibisita ang matriarch sa mansion, na kinukulong siya ni Alex sa loob ng kuwarto nilang mag-asawa para itago siya sa mata ng mga Fuego. And except for that foolish Robert na nakahuli sa kaniya minsan, walang sinuman sa mga Fuego ang nakakaalam na may asawa na si Alex. The Matriarch was worried that Alex will die without leaving an offspring, kaya ila
It was not the first time that Jenica saw Alex and Jared talking to each other. Pero ngayon lang niya napagtanto na sa harap ni Alex, bahag ang buntot ni Jared. It looked like Alex held the upperhand against the HQ's number one enemy. Naningkit ang mga mata ni Jenica. Matapos ang pag-uusap ng dalawa ay ngiting lumapit si Jared sa kaniya. "It must be fate that we came to know each other --""We're not done yet," sabi niya. "We still have business to settle."Nag-isip saglit si Jared, pagkuwa'y ngumiti na naman nang abot sa tainga. "It is about those poisonous needles?""I'm not talking about that," aniya at sa isang iglap ay sinapak ang mukha ni Jared. "Oww!" hiyaw nito at hinawakan ang nasaktang mukha. Masama itong tumingin sa kaniya. "Do you still wanna fight?!" galit nitong sambit. "Alex and I agreed that my forces will stop fighting you. Or do you think that my temper will let you trample my face?" dagdag pa nito. Nag-igting ang bagang ni Jenica. "You owe me a child."Jared w
When Jenica saw the man, she froze. Is she seeing things? Bakit niya nakikita ang Tito Marc niya? Nawalan ng kulay ang mukha ni Jenica.More than 40 years ago, the old man from Guam clan adopted a boy who lost his parents from the big fire that killed more than a thousand lives. The boy is said to have possessed great resemblance to the old man that prompted him to adopt the child. And according to the DNA result, the boy was the old man's illegitimate grandson that made the whole Guam clan scorn him. The old matriarch of the Guam disliked the boy and made things difficult for him. For years, the boy endured everything until an accident occured in the Guam family. A big fire engulfed a huge mansion in one night and killed all members of the Guam family except for the only survivors, Marc Cenizo the adopted grandson, and Jenica's favored father. Starting from that day, the Guam family hid behind the spotlight for years and the masses slowly forget the powerful family who shook the e
