Shadows 71: Karen And Samuel
Diane’s P.O.V.
“If you’re not gonna break that damn fucking law, then you’re only letting Ernest reign over you. Can’t you see it? Your cousin is only controlling you, Karen. He’s depriving you of your rights! Why don’t you just admit that you’re only resisting your feelings for me? If not, then why would you even respond to my—” Samuel was almost gritting his teeth but Karen viciously cut him off.
“Enough, Sam!” Karen was looking at him like she was about to murder him with her scorching glares. Her jaws were also clenching hard like she was competing against him. “I was only carried away so let’s just forget about what happened to us, okay?”
“Why would I, Karen? Justify your reason.” Disappointment crossed Samuel’s handsome face.
“Because I like Lorenz! Will that be eno

Diane’s P.O.V.“Do you have a turtle-neck blouse, sissy?” Karen asked me all of a sudden. Siya pa ang sobrang busy na naghahanap sa nasabing damit sa duffel bag ko.We were both done with our shower when Karen went inside my room a while ago. Pareho na rin kaming nakabihis, so I wasn’t sure kung bakit pa siya nagtatanong.“Hmm… wala, best. Bakit?” Nagtatakang tanong ko kay Karen. We were both wearing a spaghetti-strap top tank that could show a little bit of our cleavage.As far as I knew, she doesn’t want to wear a turtle-neck blouse because she always wanted to flaunt her slender neck. She still had a white towel on her hair but after drying and combing it, I guessed she would be all set.“Because you have a hickey on that pretty neck of yours,” she frankly spoke. “Wait here, I’ll get mine
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 73: The Roulette Game
Diane’s P.O.V.“So, guys… let’s start. Para hindi magtagal, sa simula lang natin gagawin ang bobo game. At baka sabihin ng iba na unfair na naman dahil ako ang magbibigay ng category, I’ll answer in the middle na lang, okay?” Xielo stated, na parang sinasadyang paringgan ang mga lalaki.“Siyempre, obvious naman na napaghandaan mo na ‘yan! Baka nga hindi na nawala sa utak mo ‘yong sagot eh!” Tumatawa si Peter habang nang-aasar sa kanya.“Well… it would be a little advantage for me dahil kung wala ako, this getaway will only bore you to hell,” Xielo refuted. “Aba! Hindi madali ang mag-organize ng games ha? But enough na, Peter. Huwag ka na lang sumali kung marami kang reklamo!” She scowled at him before clapping her hands to alert us. “Alright, everyone! Just get ready and I’ll definitely start in three,
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 74: Sam's Pickup Lines
Diane’s P.O.V.“No, it’s not me. My real name starts with the letter C, so it should be C and not K!” Karen waved her hands to disagree, but her tone wasn’t complaining. Mukhang tanggap naman niya ang kasalukuyang nangyayari. “Should we sleep now? Maaga pa tayong gigising bukas!”“Sorry, Karen… the night is still young and please lang, ‘wag kang kj diyan! I didn’t know your real name, so K ang nilagay ko sa roulette. Had I known, C ang ilalagay ko. So, whether you liked it or not, you’re the K to whom Chef Sam will dedicate his pickup lines to,” Xielo rebutted to Karen before diverting her attention to Samuel.“Go, Chef! Make us all proud! Sana lang ay hindi kayo tuluyang mag-away mamaya,” natatawang sigaw ni Xielo, na may pa-fighting sign pa.“Hmm… hindi ako magaling sa pickup lin
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 75: An Awkward Dare
Diane’s P.O.V.Above all, I couldn’t blame Barbie because she was right. The way Samuel looked at Karen with concern in his eyes and how he delivered those words while tenderly holding her hands—showed me that it wasn’t just a simple pickup line.There was something more to it because I could feel how it naturally came from his heart. Karen was also lost for a few minutes of staring at his green eyes before she decided to pull her hands away from Sam.“Ano bang ka-corny-han ang mga pinagsasasabi mo riyan ha? Wala na bang iba, Chef? You know what? I was expecting a lot from you pa naman like in our newspaper game, but sadly… you’ve just ruined my expectation again.”Karen averted her gaze as she hardly swallowed something on her throat. Hindi niya alam kung saan titingin na para bang bigla na lang siyang nalito kung kaya’t ipinasy
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 76: Ominous Devil
Diane’s P.O.V.Hindi ko naiwasang masamid habang nanlalaki ang mga mata kong nakatingin sa roulettes. Medyo naubo pa nga ako, but Karen was fast enough to get a bottled water from the cooler and gave it to me. Liam attempted to stand up too, but I silently signaled him not to.Nagkamali lang pala ako ng tingin dahil ang akala ko kanina, letter S talaga ‘yong tumapat sa arrowhead. But what happened was definitely a surprising turn of fate.I sighed because it was indeed the letter L. And now, I had no other choice but to be sandwiched in between the Evangelista brothers again… because only Liam and Leandro’s names start with the letter L here.Grabe talaga kung maglaro ang tadhana sa akin! Mukhang mas madali pa nga yata kung magla-lap dance na lang ako kay Sharmaine.“Wala pa nga pero mukhang nag-iinit ka na riyan, Diane ha! Kung sin
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 77: Liam's Downside
Diane’s P.O.V. Focusing my attention back to Liam—he tried to stand up, but it looked like he was fragile enough and just ended up being a statue. It just happened that he couldn’t stand on his own, like how I was stuck up in my position too. Hindi ko maiwasang lalo pang kabahan sa mga nakikita ko. I could feel nothing now but blind terror. This time, the uncontrollable fear which sank into my mind was no longer about me. It was now all about him… and Liam was much important more than anything. “W-What’s happening? Is S-Sir Liam having an allergy?” tanong ni Xielo na tila napako na rin sa kinatatayuan. Ilang saglit pa ay halos hinahabol na ni Liam ang paghinga na para siyang hinihika. Nakatingin siya sa akin habang hawak-hawak ang dibdib niya. Dahil doon ay agad na akong dumalo sa kanya para damayan siya. Pinilit kong buhatin ang
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 78: Truly Unforgivable
Diane’s P.O.V. Si Leandro naman ay duguan ang mukha at saka parang baliw pa na dumura ng dugo sa kanang bahagi nito. “You—you think, you know everything? Don’t act as a hero here, Samuel!” Unti-unti naman itong itinayo nina Matt, Yexel, at Peter, habang si Kenneth ay hinarang ang katawan kay Samuel na akma pang babalikan si Leandro. Karen rushed and grabbed Samuel’s wrist para agarang ilayo ito. Sa laki ng pangangatawan nito ay kayang-kaya lang namang ihagis ni Samuel si Kenneth sa malayo. Putok ang magkabilang gilid ng mga labi, namamaga ang mga pisngi, gulo-gulo ang buhok, at halos nakapikit na ang kaliwang mata ni Leandro. Sigurado akong bukas na bukas ay may black eye na rin ito. He also had a cut on his nose that might be caused by the huge gold-metallic ring on one of Samuel’s fingers. Karen helped Samuel on assisting Liam and that was when I got the opportunity to stan
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 79: Brown Envelope
Diane’s P.O.V. No matter how stressed I was with what happened tonight, I found my lips forming a thin smile sa batuhan nila ng mga salita. Hindi ko man makaka-kuwentuhan ngayong gabi si Karen tungkol sa totoong namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa ni Sam at kung paano sila unang nagkakilala, mas importante naman ang kalagayan ni Liam. I hastily opened the room with my keycard. It only took Sam and Janno a few seconds to lay Liam’s body on the bed after that. Mabilis din naman silang nagpaalam sa akin with a promise that Samuel would talk to the rest of the group—that whatever happened here should only stay here in Moulin Paradise Resort. Siguro naman ay matatakot sila kay Samuel pagkatapos nilang masaksihan ang ginawa nitong pambubugbog kay Leandro. Calling it a night, I thanked the three of them bago pa kami nag-besong dalawa ni Karen. “Don’t even overthink about Leandro’s demean
