His Elusive Antidote (English) Twenty two
“Sir, everything is ready. We have gathered fifty-eight women for the auction tonight, and all the equipment is with Team B.” He handed me a paper containing a list of the guests we are expecting at the auction. “We have to lay low for the time being, as the police are eagerly looking for us. But in two weeks, we are expecting another batch of women for the next auction in Vietnam.” I nodded while reading what was on the paper. I’ve been too busy hiding, so I’ve been overwhelmed with orders. I heard Alpha was looking for us, and he’s on a new mission, but until now, I still don’t know who he is. Damn it, that man is something else. He’s so careful with his identity, we don’t even know if he’s a man or a woman. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. I’ve been looking for him for a long time, and now we’re almost at a dead end. At first, I didn’t care about him, he’s just like the agents trying to find us, they all end up six feet under. But him, I don’t know, he’s stressing me

“Why does the air feel sweet today? Do you guys feel that, marsi?” I almost choked on what Jc said. It’s eight in the morning, and we’re having breakfast on our room’s veranda. Our departure isn’t until two in the afternoon, but because the idiots have headaches, we just had breakfast sent up here. They’re too lazy to come down. Amy and Clint also came. “I feel like I have this urge to share something because there’s no story.” They just laughed, and I just rolled my eyes because he’s looking at me. The view here is also beautiful, like Tagaytay because there’s a beach and plenty of trees around. It’s not too noisy, so it’s really relaxing, and the air is cool. “We feel that. It was sooo hot earlier. I was sweating buckets when I entered your room earlier.” Amy said. I closed my eyes briefly. After what happened yesterday, we just went straight to the room. It was the usual routine, I showered and changed first, then he showered. We were just talking when I suggested we sleep beca

“Yes, I just have to do it because she’s really jealous, she throws plates when she gets jealous, sometimes even a knife,” He paused, as if contemplating. “Sometimes she’d sic her Doberman on me, sometimes she’d chase me with boiling water, that’s why I don’t like it when she gets jealous.” They were just staring at us, so I pinched my friend for what he said, it wasn’t like that before, he’s exaggerating now. “Wow, if I were you, I wouldn’t want her to get jealous either,” Clint and Amy are still in shock, while Alex is giving me a disapproving look, I forgot he doesn’t know about us, Jc and I started doing this way back in college so he hasn’t experienced it yet. “Yes, can I join you guys?” I asked them, and they quickly made space next to my friend so I could sit beside him. “Thank you, such a gentlemen.” “Seriously? You’re really Jc’s girlfriend? Wow, sis, you’re so beautiful, I didn’t know he was hiding someone like you, I mean, Jc.” Amy was curious and she even got closer to

“Love, I’m sorry.” “Stop it, man, back off or I might kick you.” Did he think he could get away with that? No way, he’s been gone for days and now he’s back acting like he just left yesterday? “Sorry, love. Let’s make up, you didn’t even hug me when I arrived, to welcome me, it’s like you didn’t even miss me, that’s hurtful.” Can you believe this guy? He’s the one who disappeared for days and now he’s the one complaining? “You’ve got some nerve!” I shouted and slapped him, thinking he’d get angry, but the fool just laughed. “Wow! So this doesn’t hurt, huh?” I should be annoyed, but I couldn’t help but laugh along with him. I stopped abruptly because I suddenly remembered something I wanted to ask him when we see each other again. “Wait a minute.” He moved away from me a bit, but his hand was still on my waist. “What’s that?” “Let go.” I said as I removed his hand from my waist, but he just put it back, so I let it be. “What are we really? We’ve confessed our feelings, even kissed

“Had you heard the hot news, girls?” We were currently at a conference, just the three of us, Jc, Amy, and me. Jaxon should have been with us, but he said he had an emergency at home and needed to leave. I’m still annoyed because he didn’t tell me himself. It was our coworker in our department who told me, and I was looking for him when I heard the news. Is it so hard to text or chat with me? He just got back two weeks ago, and he didn’t even explain where he went and why he was gone for so long, and now this? “What’s that?” we whispered to each other because the conference was about to start. This is an international conference, held in Rizal, with forty-eight participants from different parts of the world. “Tell us, but keep it down, okay? Don’t be too loud, dear,” Amy whispered back, which made me laugh. The president included us because we’re the ones usually involved in this, so we know the process and what needs to be done before, during, and after the meeting. Since I starte

“Sis, are you okay?” I blinked several times before looking at her. How long have I been staring blankly? “Yes, why?” even though I knew I wasn’t. “You’ve been staring at that for a while now,” she pointed to Jaxon’s resignation letter. Miss Sofia came to hand it to me this morning. “What’s going on? Why did fafa resign? He’s only been here for three months, did you scare him off?” Even though she was teasing me, her voice betrayed her concern, still wondering what happened between us. “Ah yes,” I stood up while still holding the paper, I signed it first before continuing, “I’ll just bring this to the accounting.” She didn’t stop me, so I walked straight to the fourth floor without taking the elevator, as their office was only two floors away from ours. It’s been a week since I told him that, and I’ve been waiting for a week to see if he’ll do something or not. Sadly, this was his response to what I said; he did not contact me, he did not even send at least a DM. He’s so heartless

“Go ahead and eat that, you look like you haven’t eaten in a week,” I said as I handed it to him while serving. I cooked adobo, menudo, and pork sinigang. I wanted to cook shrimp, but he’s allergic to it, he might even die, poor me, I’ll be a widow right away. “Thank you, I missed your cooking, it’s been a long time since you cooked like this,” he said while scooping some sinigang. I took some fish sauce and squeezed some chili into it, then placed it in front of him. I also poured water into our glasses before sitting down. “Thank you for cooking today,” he said, I just rolled my eyes and he started eating. “You barely eat, you look like a zombie, anyone who sees you will say that, so finish all of that, I’ll kick you if there’s anything left, don’t try me, I’m telling you,” I threatened him, he just nodded but was also busy eating, so I started scooping some food onto my plate, as he had already put rice on it. He hardly spoke, it looked like he was really hungry, and maybe it’s

They stayed at Jaxon’s condo for almost a few hours before saying goodbye. I tried to convince them to wait for him here since he might be on his way home, but they said they had somewhere else to go, so they left. They were pleasant to talk to, and I really enjoyed their company. I didn’t realize it was already seven in the evening; we just had dinner, and then they bid farewell. They said they would come back another day. I hope I see them again. I looked at the wall clock hanging in front of the TV set; it was already nine, but he still wasn’t here. I wasn’t sure if I should go home already. It’s not like I planned to stay here; it’s just that I might be blamed if something goes missing. Tomorrow is Saturday, so I don’t have work. I stood up and went to his room, looking for one of his long t-shirts. If he’s not coming home, it’s okay if I wear this. I took a quick shower, blow-dried my hair to keep it from wetting his pillow. My hair is quite long. I went out to the living room

The salty sea breeze swept through the streets of Seaview, carrying with it the promise of another beautiful day along the coast. Emily stood outside her seaside café, surveying the damage left behind by the storm that had battered the town the night before. The wooden sign above the entrance creaked in the wind, its paint chipped and faded, a testament to the café's long history.As Emily assessed the extent of the damage, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the task ahead. Tables and chairs lay scattered across the sand, while shards of broken glass littered the floor of the café's outdoor seating area. The awning had been torn off its hinges, leaving the once-cozy space exposed to the elements.Just as Emily was about to roll up her sleeves and get to work, she heard footsteps approaching from behind. Turning around, she was surprised to see Jack standing there, a concerned expression on his face."Hey, Emily," Jack said, his voice gentle but filled with urgency. "I heard abo

The ancient building loomed before them, its weathered stone walls holding centuries of secrets within their depths.

Catherine stumbled into the condo, her vision blurred from the tears that streamed down her face. Sin stood in front of her, his expression unreadable. Outside, the rain poured down in a relentless torrent, the sound of it drumming against the windows like a thousand tiny fingers. The sky was a dark, brooding mass of clouds, obscuring the moon and stars from view. The air was thick with moisture, the humidity making it feel like a sauna. The condo was a small, cozy space, with soft, dim lighting that cast a warm glow over the room. The walls were painted a soothing shade of blue, adorned with framed photographs of happier times. A plush couch sat in the center of the living room, facing a small television set. The floor was covered with a plush rug, soft underfoot.“Please, Catherine, you need to leave,” Sin pleaded, his voice tinged with frustration.Catherine shook her head, her voice trembling. “No, not until you tell me why.

Sin sighed as he pulled on his jacket, preparing to slip out of the house unnoticed. It was a typical Saturday afternoon, and he had plans to meet up with his friends at the park. But just as he reached for the doorknob, his mother’s voice echoed through the hallway.“Sin! Can you come here for a moment?”He froze, knowing that tone all too well. With a resigned sigh, he turned around and headed towards the living room where his mother and brothers were gathered. As he entered the room, he saw Catherine, his ten-year-old sister, sitting on the floor surrounded by coloring books and crayons.“What’s up?” Sin asked, trying to sound casual.“We’re having a bonding moment with Cath,” his mother said, gesturing towards the coloring materials. “We thought it would be nice for you to join us.”Sin glanced at Catherine, who looked up at him with big, hopeful eyes.
