CHAPTER 2: CRUCIAL INVESTAGATION
_____
Mio's POV:
"Nek Tuffin the brother of Zak D' is the real k*ller Mio, he gave up along time ago."
He said as if he was making me look like he defeated me. I know he surrendered but from the records, every suspect has a secret maybe they just want the wealth or the justice. And I don't give a d*mn, it's not a contest. I turned around and looked at the second suspect, my cousin Loid
"Don't go this far Mio because it's over and I'm the one who ended the case."
With a heroic tone he had, Nathan is a j*rk. He thought he knew everything because he was Kuya Zak's lawyer and the case was over. But, no because the truth is there's a last will that Kuya Zak left before he died and I will continue this case for the justice, I will handle and finish it towards the truth.
"Sh*t up Nathan, I will finish Kuya Zak's case." I said.
"Excuses, Attorney Mio but I'm his lawyer and the case already dismissed a year ago. The name Nek Tuffin is the suspect of this case."
There is an irritation in his face, I looked at Nathan and then rolled my eyes.
"You are now done being a lawyer with Kuya Zak and I have a permission to do this so step back, this case? It's just getting started." I replied.
He looked at me with a frown but he couldn't do anything because I was the one handling Kuya Zak's case. I took a seat and the interrogator started recording, this is the beginning to know the truth behind this case to know who is the real k*ller.
"We're looking into that murderer for the record, are you speaking to me voluntarily?" He said.
While Loid smiled widely before answering that question.
"Hmm... Yes."
And the whole interrogation that annoying smile of him won't vanish.

Loid Tuffin POV:
Year 1974, The Past.
"Zaki D' Duwag, My beloved cousin."
I shouted here while helping Benjamin and Frank beat up Zak, right-winger. He is one of my best friends and a cousin named Zaki D', but not until he destroyed my life. I always saved him and fought him but when I needed help he never showed up and I even broke up with my family because of him.
"S-stop this already Loid, you weren't like this when they were brainwashing you!" He said, writhing in pain haha! That's what I liked! Seeing you suffering isn't over yet, there's more Zak!
I want you to d*e Zak, little by little I will kill you with pain." I replied and then the tortur*d began, I will never regret this! My own family discarded me because I was the bad one in their eyes. Since then We almost k*lled each other at the Tuffin Family party. I looked at Zak and I see that he's not sorry for what happened dang it! Like his teasing me.
"This tort*re is too boring."
He replied with a little laugh even though he was in pain from what I was doing to him, C*rse this man!
"Sh*t up! I want you to suffer! I will never forget the day they fought you because you were right, while me? The one who suffered! You humiliated me and threw away my own family because of you. Now fight for yourself because now I'm not your savior, I'm your worst enemy." I burst my anger towards him, I shoot a gun to his body. It went away, while I'm starring to a cold eye's of him. I can also see in him his anger towards me but he never fightback for his life, Damn it! He showed to me that smile again, that annoying smile of him won't vanish.
"Are you going to cry right now, Loid?" He replied, That answer of him it makes me want him to die all over again.
FF
Year 1982 the future.
"I admit that I have a grudge against him and we had an argument along time ago." I said calmly while tapping my fingers to the table.
"And, I'm not the one who k*lled him? Because?! That j*rk won't d*e! And also how can I k*ll my best friend, cousin?" I replied, Yes because he escaped from my hands before, F*ck him!
"Right. Okay. there some reason, surveillance camera footage show you walked pass out of nowhere putting on a ski mask that time where Zaki D' got killed." The Detective said with a serious tone.
"Maybe, We just have the same face. I mean, because! lots of guys look like me, see?" I replied and suddenly my cousin Mio, this woman, interrupted our conversation! She continued the case.
"So, you could have been there Loid?" She said, making me cringe. She was really forcing me to confess that I didn't do it!
"No. I mean- just what I said that it's possible that I have the same face, Detective and I'm in the Philippines at that time?"
"Alright, I can't ask you anything now. I think, but we're not done yet." The Detective replied, he stood up and left the interrogation room. Me and this woman Mio are still in this room
She stared at me and judge me for a minute then her question make me feel alive.
"You know the last will of Zaki D'? Do you? That's why you're here? " She asked me with a calm tone and a serious eye's.
"Nah... What-" I replied but it suddenly hit me... I'm so curious right now.
"Okay, thaks for the time."
She replied and stood up quickly left me hanging! G*dd*mmit!
"Wait! Mio! What 'bout the last will?! What's up with that? Mio!" I shouted but she's already gone, f*ck you Mio. This lady makes me sick, I'm sick of this, what's wrong with your last will Zaki D'.
"Officers! Get me out of here! For G*d sake!" I shouted a couple of times and suddenly someone turned the door and entered the interrogation room the light went off again. Then I see a figure of a man, I also sense that I know him but I don't think saw? He walked towards me and sat in front of me.
"Untie me and let me out of this room, don't sit there!"
I shouted with anger but he still didn't move looking at me directly, He wears black shades and is also in a black suit and has a scar on his right cheek d*ng! And it's like it's even richer compared to me but I need an officer to let me go out of this room right now, not an actor or whoever a Men and black.
I glared at him and I felt like I know this guy, like we've met before.
"Sh*t up."
He said and took a deep breath, curse this man!
"Did you hear what I said?! And if you can't let me out, can you? Get out of my presence, I can't give you any info and I'm not the one who killed Zaki D'." I said with a glare, I stood up and walked to the door of this room. I saw a cctv and gave them a middle fingers.
"You looked like a child, Stop yelling" He said with a serious statement and a little laugh. I go back to my seat with a moment of silence.
"I know you can sense that you known me somewhere, I'm I right?"
He calmly said that to me, I immediately looked and wondered why he was saying this to me? I frowned now but I didn't move because maybe he just wants to investigate me like the others do.
"You know? It's just the two of us in this room and also no one is watching us through that mirror, also the cctv." He said and pointed to the mirror on our side and also the cctv camera. The next thing he said to me brought the life back to life. my blood again
"Ts, you always like that even though several years have passed, Also you can escape now if you liked but I sense that you also wanted to know about the Zaki D' Last will?" He said.
Yes! I wanted to know about that because Mio is very strict and I'm curious about that.
" Tell me about the Last will of Zaki D', Men and black guy " I said but I just saw the little smile on his cheek that smile, I don't trust that smile.
"Okay, First I'm not Men and Black I'm just an ordinary person who knows about this case because maybe I also wanted the wealth of him. Second the last will of Zaki D' is whoever can teach and say who killed him will be given a reward or if the person who killed him surrenders he will also be given but there's a consequence." He said and crossed his arms more seriously. this is now. Dang that's the last will of Zaki D'? And what's the reward?
"Then? What's the reward?" I said.
"All of Zaki D's wealth, that's the reward." He replied.
I'm shocked again for what I heard, What the fuck?! Because of Zaki D's wealth?! I also wanted his wealth before and now I can't make it difficult like damn! I'm the wealthiest of them all now I wish I would just give up and stop defending myself.
"The Consequences is for the person whom got the money or the wealth of Zaki D'." He said and stood up.
I didn't ask about Consequences but hmm... Okay now I know. Now his walking away and it was about to go out the door, I was about to follow when it suddenly faced me.
"Where are you going?"He said.
"Going out." sparing in response but this man just laughed at me.
"I gave you time to escape earlier but you didn't. No Loid you can't escape." He said. I smirked because I can escape on my own because he just said that we are the only two in this room. But? How did he know my name?!
I was about to speak when he suddenly grinned and removed his black shades and the light went back. Now I'm shocked for what I saw, I'm right after all! He's not dead yet! this man is immortal i think?!
"Curse you mother f*cker Zaki D'! You can't fool me!" I said I was about to punch when the light bulb in that room suddenly exploded. And the other light will turn off, I hear the laughed of Zaki D' and the last word he said.
"I can control everything Loid."
Before I lost consciousness he finished punching me which put me to sleep at that time.
Now I opened my eyes and I'm in the hospital, I saw Mio and Nathan. I also see the police outside the door. I felt dizzy and confused and I was also remembered about Zaki D', What Zaki D'?! Isn't that a dream?!
"I saw him! Mio! Zaki D' Is still alive."
I said and got up like I was crazy in this situation but I saw in my eyes that it was him! I'm not mistaken!
"He went to that room when you were gone and he said that he controlled everything! Don't be a fool Mio!" I added.
"Calm down Loid, you're the only one in that room. There's no one" Nathan said.
While he is sipping his coffee. They don't really believe me, I'm confused now. Shit, what's happening?!
"Kuya Zak is dead, Loid so there is an investigation. You were just dreaming" She said, While calming me down. I'm now a person who has mental illness if I continue this but no! I'm telling the truth.
"I'm not lying Mio! Checked the cctv footage now!" I said.
I burst my anger right now.
"It was seen on the cctv that you were the only one in that room, Loid" She said.
I can't move now looking into the void. How?! I'm with him! Did I just dream? Or maybe he's hunting me now even though he's dead. No! I know he is still alive and I will stand by that.
"Wake up Loid, you might end up going crazy." Nathan said and stood up out of this room. I glared at him Dang! Maybe he is in cahoots with Zaki D' because he was his lawyer before.
"I know you are in cahoots with him Nathan! You can't fool me!" I shouted and I could see the surprise in Mio's eyes. That's it Mio I hope you believe me, curse you Zak! Someday someone will kill you if it's true that you're not dead and that will be me!
I will find you and I'm going to win your game I'm just starting, your wealth someday will be mine.
Chapter 3 : NEW GODFATHER ____ZAKI D' POVYear 1973 the past. "What now?" I asked myself as I looked out the window of this plane I was piloting now. Everday is so boring even tho I'm now 25 years old and for 25 years I haven't done anything in my life, I'm full of resentment and I'm full of regrets, guilt, pain this heartache of mine along time ago since then because of love life.And you know right now?

I have nothing to do with my life. Alright this private plane has a passengers who are rich and I am a pilot who is also on the verge of death no choice because I agreed to be the pilot of Mr. Mustacho, a close friend of mine here in Italy."Just keep driving the plane Captain." He said with a smirked. I don't know what's going on but I trusted them because I had no choice then. Then bang! I heard several gu
Chapter 4 : CHIT-CHAT "A young man actually took Arcane's place." I said with no emotion.While tapping my fingers in the table I am in a serious situation now and all the family members are here. "I think it's Clark too" Said Hideo."Yes, maybe it's Clark." "No, Asher I think." They are all in this room exchanging opinions and answers. Clark and Asher are their target but maybe one of them is really the... but no. I turned to Keng where he was sitting and motioned me to speak as godfather to the family as well. "Keng said to me that time when we're all at the party of Asher, he thinks that none of those two can replace Arcane." I said. "If it's not Clark or Asher, then who?" Said Gethro a soldier of the family.I cleared my throat and showed them the photo that Keng gave me. All of them stared at the photo and stared and I think none of them even knew that person. "That guy did someone notice him?" I said. "Nope, I don't pay attention to him now. He didn't caught my eye."
CHAPTER 5: GODFATHER VS GODFATHER "Keng, can I still wear a mask? For safety and another thing, I have low self esteem in this kind of thing." I said with a nervous tone. Honestly, I want to hide myself first and stand by my acting as someone else, I really like Morfeo and not Zaki D'. I adjusted myself in front of the mirror and took a deep breath before facing Keng. "It's up to you Don Morfeo, what you want to do, I'm just here to support you like I supported Regu." He said and he looked at me with joy while nodding. He and Regu are very close and he trusts me so much that even I feel ashamed because I don't trust myself. I also nodded and at the same time we left that room out of the mansion. Before we even left the mansion, he reached for a mask. If you look at it, it's just a simple black mask. "Regu used that in mission along time ago, it's suits you Don Morfeo." He said and walked closer to our car and it immediately opened my eyes. I immediately got on board and he was
CHAPTER 6: HEARTACHE "No, I'm not jealous." I said and sipped my wine, I feel like I'm going to fall in that situation but no! Because I'm not jealous."Naiintindihan kita Don Morfeo, maybe there's nothing between them but maybe this heartache of mine mawawala na to." ("I understand you Don Morfeo, maybe there's nothing between them but maybe this heartache of mine will disappear.") Augustin said and he also sipped his wine. Here we are now on the side of the yacht just winded and drunk at the same time. And also I wanted to kill someone."Maybe, baka nga it's a call sign for a friend yung baby." ("Maybe, the baby is a call sign for a friend.") I thrifty respond and I sighed."Also Havanna, maybe it's just a friend s*x? Let's just don't think negative thoughts and moved on." I added and tapped Augustin, I saw on his eye's that his crying, damn heartache. "Yeah, maybe Don Morfeo, ngayon gabing ito wala na si Havanna sa buhay ko at sa isip ko." ("Yeah, maybe Don Morfeo, tonight Havan
CHAPTER 7: WEDDING "Zak!" I screamed and got up from my bed, my dream repeated itself. Zak, he is back and he appears in my dream and suddenly leaves. I reached for the water that was on the side of my bed and drank it, I really didn't I know what the meaning of that dream is, I want him back. I wiped the tear from the corner of my left eye, as always when I dream about Zak it drips every time I wake up. Suddenly my phone rang out of nowhere I answered it , who is this calling this early in the morning? "Good morning sis! It's me Viviane, the most beautiful friend of yours and I have a good news! Ackk about me and Asher." At that point my ears were already damaged by his scream but I'm so curious tho what kind of good news could this be."Omg! What's the good news Viviane?!" I said and laid back on my bed while waiting for Viviane's answer. "My weeding will be done on a big yacht! Omg, I can't breathe! And because I really want us to get married, he agreed that the wedding is no
CHAPTER 8: SUSPICIOUS 1"Let's go na bride!" (Let's go now bride! ") I shouted here from outside the room, it was a while before Viviane came out of the room. I thought that he wanted to finish this marriage for their honeymoon but he hasn't come out for some time because of nervousness."You can still run away, biro lang." (You can still run away, just kidding.") I shouted again and laughed. "Gaga! I'm nervous because I'm so happy! Besides, I'm just going to pee first. So, wait for me." She replied. Hey, is that really how you feel when you get married? Suddenly, a man fell on the floor not far away, I immediately approached him, he might be dead, drunk or what. What's going on? " Sir? Are you still alive?" I said looking at his wrist to check his pulse and omg! He's still alive hallelujah! I didn't see anyone here either, maybe he's drunk! I can't lift him, so maybe I'll call the guard. "Aelin." He whispered. The breeze suddenly cooled at that time and that voice seemed like I
CHAPTER 9: SUSPICIOUS 2"I'm so glad that you're here Morfeo." Asher greeted me happily while Viviane looked at me evilly. "Thank you for inviting me Asher." I said while looking at Aelin on my right. "Have a sit Morfeo so let's start to eat our dinner tonight." Asher said and I sat near Aelin, there's a chair between me and Aelin. "I want to ask something Morfeo." Viviane suddenly asked with a death glare while drinking her wine. "Why did you change your former name? Your real name?" She said, I know this question will really come out of your mouth, Viviane. "I wanted to." I calmly said and looked at her seriously. "What's happening here?" Asher replied and looked at both of us in surprise. Aelin was also at that point. "Because, you know darling I'm curious why he became Morfeo even though his Zak, Zaki D' Tuffin." She said and started to eat, tsk... This woman! "So both of you know each other." Asher said, how can I escape now. Damn it! "It's my real name." I said with a s
CHAPTER 10 : REMEMBERING MORFEO POV"The enemies are starting to move the glass Don Morfeo." Gareth said and he took the cup of coffee from the table and took a sip. I don't know where Gareth got this information and I also don't know why we had coffee today in the afternoon when the sun was shining. By the way, we are here at a small coffee shop request by this Gareth, he was just having coffee when we were at the party. "How much coffee did you have drink today, Gareth?" I suddenly asked and he looked at me while placing his cup on the table before answering my question. "Maybe it's my eight glass of coffee." He said. "Don't wonder why he's like that when he's still alive and immune to coffee." Augustin said laughing at this incident, How far will this coffee go? This Gareth also has Filipino blood and he also lived in the Philippines when he was young. I won't even wonder why it's still alive if it can drink a lake of coffee. "Did Regu have an ally?" I said and I'm get serio
CHAPTER 51: SPECIAL CHAPTER Mio's POV. I'm just looking at the photo I have left, a photo of us back then that if you look at it, it's a big difference from now. There was absolutely no fight and we were just pure innocents, we could see the smile on our faces that we never thought would be sad and full of anger and misery of life. Especially Nek and brother Zak, in a few hours of me looking at the photo, someone suddenly called me my phone rang and I answered it right away. "Mioooooooo!! When are you coming back here to the Philippines huh?" She said on the other line and it was none other than Laura. The energy of this girl is really great, like wow hahaha. "Calm down Laura, I'm about to go deaf with your screams maybe one day my ears will explode when we call, so and I might not be able to get back, you know." I said then I heard her breathing really hard. "Alright, alright then, we'll be the only ones to go, so you won't miss how beautiful I am." She said that made me laug
CHAPTER 50: TUFFIN BROTHERSMio's Pov. "A-argh, N-nathan, make a new life. Don't copy me." Gethro said while stuttering and writhing in pain, I could see in Nathan's eyes that he was crying. In this way, he and his brother met again. "Don't let go Gethro." Nathan said even though I was crying Gethro lost a lot of blood now. Is it impossible for Gethro to live at a distance from the hospital, it's impossible! "You'll t-take care of my sister Mio , thank you and I hope Hideo goes to jail. I love you brother—" Gethro's last promise to Nathan and suddenly the heaven above took his life. At that time, the cries of guns and bombs stopped, now replaced by tears and grief of sorrows. I also saw Viviane in the Asher was held at a distance, because he had also disappeared. "Nathan." I said to Nathan then hugged him, I couldn't stop his crying. "Brother! It's not possible! You can't die like this!" Nathan shouted while crying, suddenly the vast part of the desert collapsed at the same ti
CHAPTER 49: MAFIA WAR"The-Sh*t." Keng said suddenly and unfortunately... The car stopped while I had just woken up from my sleep, unfortunately again... it was still night time! "What? What's going on?!" Gareth suddenly asked Keng and Gareth just woke up now. "You guys are awake and they're starting, let's go." Miss Elorah said to us. "Let's get out of the car now quickly!" Said Keng, Then he quickly got out of the car. Miss Elorah did the same while Gareth and I were confused and wondering. Until Miss Elorah pulled me out of the car and ran away from it. Suddenly it exploded causing us to fall to our feet. "What the h*ll!" Gareth screamed in shock, I was also shocked but I couldn't speak. I heard a few gunshots now but it was worse like there was a war going on in the desert. "Come here quickly!" Miss Elorah yelled at us so we ran away from the car that exploded. "Wait, where's Keng?!" I asked while running but someone suddenly started firing in our direction. "That's the e
CHAPTER 48: MUSTACHO AND TUFFINThat year the wife died if Hera suddenly became more cruel. My brother Arcane Mustacho and I have collided several times because of my anger. I forgot that he is my brother. That day we were on a private plane and just had a reunion because it was the day our mom died, I was the one who started the fight. "I killed your wife and child." I said while laughing looking at him. "You really confessed that to me Regu." He said full of anger, we are the same. He immediately pointed the gun at me and I at him. Unfortunately, there are only five of us in the private plane, including Zak because he will be flying this private plane. "You killed my son too! That's why." I screamed in anger then attacked Arcane, I couldn't control myself anymore. We fought inside the private plane and killed each other, our bodyguard fell first because that was our first target. "You're making a big deal out of nothing, it's your fault because you're dirty! Dirty!" He yelle
CHAPTER 47: THE SOURCE"My love, the day of our son is coming, so you should get well." I said to my wife as I tried to feed her to make her feeling better. Later I will do my plan with her because I tried it on an animal and it turned out to be it was successful in one year. Because it was a year ago and hamster was still alive when I experimented with Doctor Little's medicine. "I love you so much if tomorrow I'm not here anymore. I I'm really gone." She said again, Hera always told me this. Every day, minute or second, he reminds me that he loves me so much that it hurts to listen to her tell me this because at any time he can disappear. "Don't be like that my love, I have many ways." I said while kissing her. I put my lips to her forehead. I can see every day how hard Hera's body is now and how weak she is, but I will not give up on her. When it was night, I waited until there was no doctor or nurse to enter her room. You're crazy I found a way to inject the medicine into my w
CHAPTER 46: DESPERATE "Keng, one day we will finish what we are doing. And there, you see that's where my family and I will live, including you." I said while laughing looking at what Keng and I were doing on this we could fly up high some day. Keng was a really loyal friend and my first friend of all, we also helped each other. through hardships and comforts. "Maybe, I'll have a family there too Regu." Keng jokingly told me and we laughed together. "We don't know, so let's finish this so we can try to fly." I said at the same time, we started moving again of Keng in what we are doing. Keng and I almost built this car because we couldn't wait anymore, Keng and I together with our children will be the first to fly this car. Keng and I are more like brothers than brothers if Arcane. "Our children must be both boys, Keng." I said, Keng and I laughed at the same time. "You can want a girl and a boy, Regu, so we can be comrades, right." He said he had a point. "Maybe, You would hav
CHAPTER 45: THE BEGINNING Zachary Pov. "Let's get out of her. Our pick-up is here." I said as I watch the helicopter coming to our speed boat, Augustin and I's crew are moving very quickly. "I'll be the first to ride that helicopter." Havanna said while looking at Asher's speed boat approaching us. "Lady's first, but hurry Havanna." I said then turned to Asher's speedboat, Havanna is now stepping down the rope ladder of this helicopter so that we can climb up. Havanna is going up and I was about to step next but suddenly Augustin went first. "The f*ck, what are you doing?" I said then pulled Augustin so that I could go first. I quickly climbed the rope ladder of the helicopter when Augustin fell back from the speedboat. "Damn it! Zachary is crazy." He said and he was looking at me angrily when I looked at him. I also saw that Havanna was already on the helicopter so I sped up my actions because Augustin was also following me now. "Havanna help me. going up." I said as I was ab
CHAPTER 44: SAHARA DESERT 2"The hell! That's not them, it's not Hideo following us." Havanna shouted even as the speedboat following us got a little closer. I saw how this witch's eyebrows raised, so I also turned to Zachary and Augustin to see their reaction. "No way? Who?!" Zachary said impatiently then quickly snatched the binoculars from Havanna's hands and looked to see who was really following us. I'm also curious who it is, I hope it's Mio. "Viviane!? Asher..." Zachary said while still grinning. It turned out to be the couple Viviane and Asher. "It's easy to take them down Zachary so let them chase. What do they need?" Augustin sighed as he lay down again with his eyes closed. I'm confused, aren't Asher and Zachary friends? "We need that Viviane fall into the sea. That will interfere with us, and Viviane probably also brought Asher here to chase us." Havanna responded to Zachary and Augustin while looking in the direction of Viviane's speed boat. What used to be frien
CHAPTER 43: SAHARA DESERT Nathan's PoV."Tell us now, right now!" He shouted as they laid me down, they had been torturing me here while lying on my back, hanging up side down. I didn't want to tell them where it was but they didn't know anything about the key. "Promise me that you won't hurt Mio !" Screamed at them then they stopped whipping me. Zachary looked me straight in the eye after that. "Hmm... Yes, so tell me where and what about the book. What do you know!" He said and he couldn't stop himself, he pointed a gun at my head. "Just obey Zachary because if you hurt him, I will kill you." He was angry as promised but he just laughed. "Haha! If you can." He said that he wasn't afraid of me. "But, I'll do it as long as you say it because I'm easy to talk to." He added and put the gun that was on my head away. "In the desert, in the desert is what you're looking for. " I said to him, he suddenly looked at me in the eyes as if he was checking to see if I was lying. "When it
