CHAPTER 19.1
I tilted my head towards it and immediately went to the bed, making sure to place the attaché case out of anyone’s sight. I abruptly went to the door, holding its knob and opening it to reveal who’s waiting outside.
An old man in an all black business suit is what greeted my sight upon opening the door, his hair has several strands of gray and is put up in a neat combed hair. I can assume that the man’s age is around fifty.
"Magandang gabi, Binibining Stasia, narito ako upang magbigay imbitasyon para sa gaganaping paligsahan. Ito ay upang magkaroon ka ng pagkakataon na maging parte ng Raizel Knights kung saan hahasain ang iyong lakas at para na rin makita kung karapat-dapat ka nga ba sa posisyon na ito. Pero bago ang lahat nais kang makausap ng Hari ng harapan," he said formally and bowed in front of me. I smirked at the back of my mind. This is going to be interesting. Seem
CHAPTER 19.2 FLASHBACK YEAR 2014, PALA SYO DE MONDRAGON. "Where's my dad?" I asked one of my dad's assassins as I arrived in our mansion. I just finished a mission and went home to know about my father’s condition. I am afraid he is unwell. "Ice Queen, he locked himself in his room. He commanded that no one should enter until he ordered." I acted like I didn't hear what he said. I walked straight to my dad's room. The sound of my heels clicking on the floor is echoing. "Ice Queen---" I turned my head towards the assassin’s direction and glared at him. I can do what I want. And no one can stop me. He lowered his face and let me in. I opened the huge twin doors and enter the room of my dad. I saw my Dad on our balcony, on his hands were the daily newspaper delivered regularly within the subdivision. He lifted his head. Tss. I think he
- Meanwhile - Andy’sPOV' Wǒ bèi kào zài chuáng tóu bǎn shàng, dàtuǐ shàng fàngzhe yīgè zhěntou. [ I leaned my back against the headboard of my bed while there was a pillow resting on my thigh.] "Ann," I tilted my head towards the source of the velvety voice. My hair bounced as I moved my head, swaying gently in the thin air. I looked at the man before me for a span of seconds, his brows furrowed and gaze focused at me. I immediately turned my attention back to what I was doing and let the light coming from the screen reflect in my face. What is this man’s problem? Can’t he see that I am busy? "Zěnmeliǎo? [ What’s wrong? ]" I asked without looking at him. My fingers keep rummaging on the keyboard, the typing sounds coming from it invaded the room. The man was still standing a meter away from me, his eyes still focused. "Did you heard the news about Supremo's hero
CHAPTER 20.1 Stanley’s POV' Naneun uli byeong-won ogsang-ui benchie anj-a issneun geos-eul boassda [ I saw myself sitting on a bench in a rooftop of our hospital.]. The view of the breathtaking buildings in the city of Manila can be seen here. I light up my dambae [ cigarette ] as the night sky, together with the glowing stars, surround the big and vast moon. It looked like a masterpiece, a painting on a canvas. The chilling breeze of the night sent me shivers, it was a good thing that the view is aesthetically pleasing, I can still handle the cold. My shoulders rose slightly when someone spoke behind me. "Nandito ka lang pala. Kanina pa kita hinahanap." I didn't look at her and just looked down at the colorful lights in the city of Manila. I even saw the familiar diner logo. The red bee which is the children's favorite? Jollibee? Yeah. I guess so. I've b
CHAPTER 20.1 “Niente mi manchi e basta, [ Nothing, I just miss you.]" I jokingly said and forced laughed. Once again, I drink from the can in my hand and at the same time, threw him a glance. He is staring at me with a disgusted look plastered on his. What the hell is wrong with this man? "Punk pazzo [ Crazy punk ] ." Accidenti [ Geez, Gosh], Ever since the beginning, he is useless to talk with. He is too silent and serious, characteristics that are opposite of what I possess. He reached for the plastic bag and also got something to drink. He did the same and used his index finger to open the beer in can. He took a sip from the beer, eyes focused in front. What was he thinking? He seems drowning in his own thoughts. I stared at my frattelo’s face, I noticed that the light emitted from his eyes were gone. It was as if the joy in his eyes were sucked out. He’s way too dif
Disguise 12: Minger And Chiflado. Stasia’s POV' "My son will be here in about a minute." I froze on my seat. His heir will come here? But why? What will that man do here? A series of jolts interfered in my whole system, making me feel shitty, even I cannot explain what the hell I am feeling. My heart raced, it beat so fast as if there were drums in my ears. My stomach feels weird! Is this what they call 'butterflies in the stomach'? Ridiculous! Why am I reacting in such a way? I should feel nothing, all of these are so sudden. I really don’t understand. 'Shit? What the hell is happening to me? Am I bewitched? Is this some kind of sorcery? All of my systems are reacting, right from my nervous system all t
DISGUISE 13: PART 1: Bump Inspector Santos II POV' Sinuyod ko ng tingin mula sa labas ang mala- Harvard na eskwelahan ng pinakamayaman dito sa Pilipinas, mula sa makabagong teknolohiyang ginamit hanggang sa pagtatayo ng magandang pasilidad. Dahil din sa magandang pamamalakad sa eskwelahan ay mahahalata mo na talagang nag-uumapaw ang pera sa bulsa ng mga nag-aaral dito. Ilang araw kong pinag-isipan ang gagawin ko. Noong una ay ayaw ko pang maniwala dahil ayaw ko namang mapunta ang paghihirap ko sa wala. Ginugol ko ang oras ko sa pananaliksik tungkol sa kanila, kung sino man sila. Malaking tulong na rin ang isang ‘di kilalang mensahe na natanggap ko, nakalagay doon ang ilang palatandaan kung sino
CHAPTER 22.1: PART 2"Teka aalis ka na? It’s too early para sa training mo," takang tanong niya nang makita nitong handa na akong umalis."Kailangang mas mauna ako sa kanila, nakakahiya naman kung mahuhuli ako sa klase," I uttered as I grab my things and started heading out."Hay nako, Stasia napakabait mo talaga 'no? Siguro yung mga magulang mo sobrang tuwa dahil may mabait silang anak na tulad mo." Sabi nito habang inaabot ang sipilyo pati na rin ang toothpaste sa lababo.My face went blank. I was caught off guard as she said those. Parents? Proud? I can’t even imagine them being proud of me. My face suddenly went blank."Hindi nam
DISGUISE 14: Chiflado. “You are 1 minute and 1 second- no, erase that, 1 minute and 2 seconds late, Minger.” I froze upon hearing his chilling voice. What a warm welcome. Speaking of the Devil, the Chiflado is earlier than I thought. Mariin akong napapikit at umaktong natatakot at dahan-dahang humarap sa kanya. Napasinghap ako ng hangin nang magtama ang mga mata namin. May kung anong enerhiya ang nagpatigil ng aking paghinga nang magtama ang aming mga mata. I feel like a bucket of ice-filled cold water was poured on top of me, minus the obvious shivers of course, but my knees are already getting weak. I really don’t under
