"Do you guys have any idea how much I wanna punch you on the face?" Nanggigigil ko sabi, "like literally right now." "On a scale of 1 to 10, hmm," sabat ni Sato na may hawak-hawak pang coffee mug. "Maybe a hundred." "I'm glad you're aware." I faked smile, "so you fucking mean na pinagday-off niyo yung mga housekeeper dito para ipaglinis ako? Ganun ba?" "Kala ko ba bored ka." Sagot naman ni Ren na nilampasan ako. "I'll be at my room. Pahinga lang ako." Napanganga ako habang nakatingin kay Ren na parang walang kasalanan. "Tangina, hindi ito yung tipo ng boredom na sinasabi ko!" Tumawa lang si Sato at uminom ng kape niya. "Look at the bright side, at least hindi ka nakakulong ngayon." "Oo nga," dagdag ni Tetsu na kararating lang, may dala pang ilang papel. "And besides, mas okay na 'to kesa sa wala kang ginagawa buong araw." Napatingin ako sa paligid. Ang laki ng mansion, kakayanin mo bang linisin ang mga kalat nila? Putangina naman oh. Pinisil ko ang sintido ko. "Gusto ko lan

His gaze flickered with something unreadable the second he saw me. Hindi ko alam kung nagulat siya o hindi lang niya inasahan na makikita ako rito. His expression remained unreadable, but his eyes roamed over me—taking in my dress, my appearance, the fact that I was even here at all.I lifted my chin slightly, pretending I wasn't affected by the way he was looking at me. Pero sa totoo lang, kinakalampag ang puso ko. Ano ba 'to? Ngayon lang naman ako nag-dress ng ganito, bakit parang big deal?Pagkababa ko ng hagdan, hindi si Ryu ang sumalubong sa akin kundi sina Tetsu, Sato, at Seiji. Agad na napalingon ang tatlo sa direksyon ko, at halos sabay-sabay pa silang nagtaas ng kilay."Damn, Madelaine," sabi ni Tetsu, nakangisi habang pinasadahan ako ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa."Pucha, para kang ibang tao," dagdag ni Sato, tila hindi makapaniwala. Seiji, being the least talkative among them, simply nodded in approval. "You look... nice."Napairap ako pero hindi ko napigilan ang maliit

A dull pounding echoed inside my skull as I slowly opened my eyes. The sunlight filtering through my curtains made me wince.I groaned, burying my face into the pillows. My whole body felt heavy—like I'd been dragged through the night and tossed into bed.Wait.How the fuck did I get here?The last thing I remembered...The pool. Conversation with Seiji. Then—fuck, I don't care. Ang importante buo pa ako. I glanced down. I was still wearing my dress from last night, but my heels were gone. Someone must have taken them off.I dragged myself out of bed and changed into something more comfortable. I stepped out of my room as I made my way downstairs. My bare feet felt cold against the hardwood floor as I moved through the quiet halls.Pagdating ko sa dining area, I stopped in my tracks.What the hell?The usual filthy, noisy atmosphere of the mansion was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the boys were—Cooking? Joke ba 'to? And what's more surprising is wala akong nakikitang kalat from las

Ryu exhaled sharply, rolling his shoulders back. "Forget it," he muttered, slipping his hands into his pockets. "Let's move on."I narrowed my eyes at him, half-expecting him to push the topic further. But to my surprise, he didn't. Salamat naman dahil baka maubusan ako ng isasagot. Tetsu smirked. "Sparring?"A grin spread across Sato's face. "Now that's more like it."My lips twitched upward. Finally, something I'm actually good at.Ryu crossed his arms, glancing at me. "You're joining?"I raised a brow. "Why wouldn't I?""Volunteer ako as ka-sparring ni Madelaine!" Sigaw ni Yuta habang taas taas ang kanang kamay. "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you.""I don't mind if you won't." I shrugged.The boys let out amused chuckles, clearly entertained by my confidence.As soon as Seiji signaled the start, Yuta lunged forward—but before he could even get close, I dodged smoothly, making him stumble slightly."Teka lang," Tetsu called out, amusement lacing his voice. "Yuta, dahan-dahan ha. Bak

Yuta was deep asleep. Nagpaalam muna kami sa mga nurses at nakiusap na bantayan nang mabuti si Yuta dahil aalis muna kami. Ren's got business to do and I want go home to change clothes. Ang lagkit lagkit ko na sa dugo ni Yuta. Pagdating namin sa mansyon, Ren barely put the car in full stop nang bumukas agad ang pinto at bumaba ako. I was exhausted, but my mind was wide awake. Ang dami ko pa ring iniisip, lalo na 'yung tungkol kay Ranma at kay Miori."Go take some rest. I'll try my best to be at home tonight," sabi ni Ren habang bumababa rin ng sasakyan.I smiled. "Do what you gotta do, Ren." Tumalikod na ako at pumasok sa loob.Pagkapasok ko sa mansyon, ramdam ko agad ang bigat ng katawan ko. Para akong lalagpak sa sahig sa pagod, pero mas nangibabaw ang lagkit na nararamdaman ko. The dried blood on my skin felt disgusting.I headed straight to my room, locking the door behind me. Hindi ko na inabala pang tingnan ang paligid. I just peeled off my stained clothes and rushed to the bat

Ryu's piercing gaze met mine the moment I stepped into the hallway. His expression was unreadable, but there was a certain sharpness in his eyes that made my stomach twist.He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, his posture casual-but I knew better.Laging ganito si Ryu kapag may bumabagabag sa kanya.I blinked, still groggy from sleep, and tried to act normal. "Morning."He didn't respond.Instead, his eyes flickered toward my room, then back at me. His jaw clenched.Ano na namang trip niya?I could already tell what he was thinking, but I refused to play into whatever this was. So, I sighed, shaking my head. "You got something to say, Ryu?"His voice was calm, but his words were razor-sharp. "Did he sleep in your room?"I exhaled through my nose, not in the mood for this. "Not the way you think."His brows furrowed. "Then explain it to me."I folded my arms, mirroring his stance. "I had a nightmare. Ren woke me up and stayed for a while. That's it."Ryu's eyes darkened, his

author: fnally! we get to see Ryu's point of view! Ryu's point of view: I sat at the head of the conference table, listening as the discussion unfolded around me. My fingers tapped lightly against the surface, the rhythmic sound the only indication of my growing impatience. The dim lighting cast sharp shadows along the walls, adding to the tension in the air. Tetsu and Seiji sat on my right, while Ren leaned against the far end of the table, arms crossed. "Ranma's been lying low since his last move," Seiji spoke first, his tone calm but firm. "What he did was unpredictable and too reckless." Tetsu rolled his shoulders, exhaling sharply. "We should strike before he does again." Ren, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. "And where exactly do we hit him? We don't even know where he's hiding since what happened." My fingers stilled. Ranma wasn't reckless. Every move he made was calculated. If we rushed in blind, we'd be playing straight into his hands. "Let's still

Ryu's point of view:When I arrived home, I headed straight to the room where she lay. It was quiet. The only sound was the soft beeping of the life support machines connected to her. Miori. Her eyes were still closed, no response—but she looked more at peace now than before. It was as if she wasn't so far away anymore. I sensed people entering the room behind me—the doctors who had been taking care of her. One of them stepped forward and spoke gently. "Her heartbeat is finally stable."I immediately turned to look at them. "Nande?" ( What? )The doctor nodded. "Her vitals are looking much better now. Just earlier, her finger moved. It's a good sign. She's not awake yet, but this means she's getting closer."I looked back at Miori. I stared at her for a long time, waiting. For any small movement. Any sign that what they were saying was real. But she remained still. Months. I've been waiting for this moment for months. Holding onto the possibility that she would wake up,

Tahimik ako habang naglalakad papunta sa ICU. Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa strap ng bag ko, parang 'pag binitiwan ko, mawawala ako sa sarili kong isip. Pumwesto ako sa labas ng glass door, at doon ko siya nakita—si Tetsu.May mga bandage ang tiyan at braso niya. May mga tubo ng dextrose sa kamay, at naka-oxygen cannula siya. Gising siya pero halatang pagod, maputla.Nang tumingin siya sa direksyon ko, bahagya siyang ngumiti.Pumasok ako, dahan-dahan. "Hey..." mahina kong bati."Madelaine." Slurred pa ang boses niya, pero nandun yung usual na tapang. "Akala ko hindi mo na ko dadalawin bago ka umuwi.""Pwede ba 'yon?" ngumiti ako at naupo sa gilid ng kama niya. "Sorry kung ngayon lang ako." Tahimik kami sandali. Tinitigan ko lang ang kamay niyang may sugat. Ngumiti siya, kahit mahina. "Sorry, Mads, I doubted you." Malumanay niyang wika, "hindi mo sinabi sa'kin ikaw pala yung action star."Napailing ako, naiiyak pero natawa rin. "It's all good. Basta magpagaling ka, ha? Lilinisin niyo pa yu

Tumigil ang mundo ko."YERAZ!" sigaw ko habang bumagsak kami pareho sa sahig. Mainit ang dugo niya sa mga kamay ko, at mabilis itong bumabasa sa damit ko. Nanginginig ang katawan ko—hindi sa takot, kundi sa galit.Miori.She was smiling. Smiling."You've served your purpose," bulong niya bago pa siya makatakbo palayo. Pero wala akong pakialam kung ilang tao ang humarang sa daan ko.Tumayo ako, hinugot ang baril mula sa isang tauhan ni Ranma na natumba, at tinutok iyon sa ulo ng unang lalaking sumugod. Bang. Walang second thought. Isa pa. Dalawa. Lahat ng nagtatangkang lumapit—pinapatay ko. Wala nang mission. Wala nang taktika. Lahat ng pumipigil sa akin ngayon, tinutumba ko."Move, and you die," sabi ko sa isang lalaki na nakaharang sa hallway. Umatras siya, nanginginig.Tiningnan ko si Miori na papalabas na sa kabilang pinto."Hindi ka na makakatakas ngayon," bulong ko.At nang akala ko ay tapos na ang lahat... isang pagsabog ng pinto ang gumambala sa lugar.Sumulpot mula sa usok ang

Tahimik lang kaming lahat habang tinitingnan si Zeus. Kahit nakagapos ang mga kamay niya, para pa rin siyang may hawak ng buong sitwasyon. Sa isang tingin pa lang niya, parang lahat kami ay muling naalalang—ito ang leader namin. At hindi kami basta-basta mapapabagsak."Wallace," utos niya, "anong meron sa kanan mong gilid?"Tumango si Wallace at gumapang paatras, pilit na inaalog ang lumang crates. "Mukhang may butas sa likod nito... parang vent?" Tinapik-tapik niya ang pader. "Oo. Hollow. Baka pwede nating pasukin.""Lily, Ravika—tulungan n'yo," utos ni Zeus habang iniikot ang mga pulso niya, hinahanap kung paano luluwagan ang tali. "Miles, may dala ka bang kahit anong device?"Napatingin si Miles, medyo nag-alinlangan. "They confiscated everything... pero—" pinasok niya ang gilid ng medyas niya gamit ang talampakan, at may maliit siyang nahulog sa sahig—isang sobrang liit na tracker-slash-timer. "I hid this. Hindi ito basta-basta nade-detect. It's basic, pero enough para mag-track n

Ryu's point of view. Putok. Sigawan. Nagsisigawan ang mga tao sa paligid habang nagsasagutan ng bala ang magkabilang panig. I was already out of the control room with Ren, Seiji, and Tetsu. We were clearing the hallway, making our way out to find Miori and follow Madelaine.Talagang ngayon pa sila nawala kung kailan nagkakagulo na.Biglang—isang envelope ang tumilapon papunta sa amin.Tumama ito sa sahig, dumulas sa paanan ni Ren."Something just flew—" he crouched, grabbed it quickly, then gave me a look. "What the hell is this?"He tossed it to me, barely dodging another round of bullets.I caught it. Brown envelope, may bahagyang dugo sa gilid. No name. No seal. No markings—except for a stamp sa likod na pulang tinta lang ang laman: "Classified."My instincts kicked in. I ripped it open.And the first thing I saw was... Maddy's face.What the—I flipped the document.Name: Madelaine SalvatierraStatus: ACTIVEAffiliation: Philippine-based theft organization – known under the comma

Tinulak ako papasok sa loob ng mansion. Kumalabog ang puso ko sa dibdib. Hindi dahil sa kaba—kundi sa galit na pilit kong nilulunok. Alam kong hindi ko pwedeng patulan si Ranma dito. Alam kong kailangan kong maghintay ng tamang oras.Dumaan kami sa hallway na masyadong tahimik para sa laki ng lugar. Mga painting na hindi ko kilala ang nakasabit sa dingding, malalaking chandelier, mamahaling kahoy sa sahig. Pero wala akong naramdaman na kahit anong init. Lahat malamig.Hanggang sa dumating kami sa isang kwarto sa second floor. Malaki. Maaliwalas. Pero pakiramdam ko kulungan.Bumukas ang pinto. At doon, may dalawang tauhan ni Ranma ang pwersahang itinulak ako papasok."Stay here," utos ng isa habang sinasara ang pinto. May narinig akong lock. Syempre.Pumunta ako sa gilid ng kama at naupo. Napatingin ako sa paligid—maraming bookshelves, may sariling banyo, at may balcony pa. Pero kahit gaano kaganda ang lugar, ramdam ko na hindi ako bisita rito. Ilang minuto lang ang lumipas, bumukas u

I covered my mouth with my forearm, still coughing from the smoke. Napatingin ako sa paligid. Wala pa ring tao. Ilang bangkay na ng kalaban ang nadaanan ko habang dahan-dahan akong lumalabas sa hallway, nakadikit sa pader, baril sa kamay, senses heightened.That's when it kicked in—my instincts.Hindi ko na kailangan ng utos o tulong.I moved like how Zeus trained me to move. Silent, calculated, lethal if needed.Gunshots still echoed from different parts of the base. Mabilis kong sinuyod ang paligid, hoping makasalubong si Miori—but she was nowhere.Where the hell is she?Alam kong hindi kami magkaibigan and will never be. But she just survived from a coma!I covered my mouth with my forearm, still coughing from the smoke. Napatingin ako sa paligid. Wala pa ring tao.

Tahimik lang ako sa sulok habang abala ang lahat sa loob ng conference room. Si Yuta halos hindi na bumitaw sa keyboard, si Seiji naka-focus sa mga screen, si Tetsu hawak ang comms, habang si Ren naman, nakasandal pero halatang tinatantsa ang bawat galaw.Hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko 'yung sinabi ko kanina—na may traydor sa loob. Ang bigat ng usapan. Hindi ko nga alam kung saan ako humugot ng lakas ng loob para sabihin yun. Pero ayokong mamuhay ng payapa ang traydor na yun habang niloloko nila ang Ryuketsu. Ang kumupkop sakanila.I am really attached to them."Hey," I heard a call. It was Miori, with the same innocent smile. "What kind of tricks are you pulling this time?" Napakurap ako. Anong tricks pinagsasasabe niya? "I'm just trying to help them. If I'm wrong, I'm willing to give up." She chuckled a bit. "I thought you're just a prisoner as you say, Madelaine. You also want the spot right now." I frowned. "Wait. Natatakot ka bang agawin ko sila sayo?" Napatanong ako. Ang gan

Tumahimik ang paligid. Parang bawat sulok ng control room ay biglang napuno ng tanong na 'yon. Tahimik si Tetsu, si Seiji, si Sato—lahat sila. Even Ren was just standing there, waiting for my answer. Not as someone who knew me, but as someone who wanted to understand me.Napalunok ako. My throat was dry. "I'm someone trying to survive," sagot ko, mahina pero diretso. "That's all I've ever been."Hindi kumibo si Ren. He didn't ask more questions. Hindi siya nagpakita ng alinlangan o duda—pero hindi rin siya nagpakita ng kumpiyansa. He just took a deep breath, straightened up, then turned to Tetsu."Tetsu," malamig niyang utos, "call Ryu. Tell him to get his ass here. Now."Nagkatinginan kami lahat. Tetsu blinked, startled for a second, then nodded at the weight in Ren's voice. "Hai."Kinuha niya agad ang earpiece at lumabas ng silid para tawagan si Ryu. Naiwan kaming lahat sa katahimikan, but it wasn't awkward—it was tense. Ren didn't even look at me anymore. He just sat down, elbows o

Habang busy si Seiji at Ren sa pagche-check ng mga updates sa control panel, napansin ko namang tila may ibang pinaglilibangan ang tatlo—si Tetsu, Sato, at Yuta—sa monitor sa gilid."Wait, wait, wait," tawanan ni Tetsu habang pinipindot ang keyboard. "Sino 'tong Lilith? Damn, ang fierce ng aura niya oh!"Yes. We're at the control room and these jerks' lurking on my profile, searching up my friends on their tracking system. "Tingin?" hirit ni Yuta habang sinisilip din ang screen, obviously amused. "She looks like she'd kill you with that eyes."Napatawa ako habang umiinom ng tubig. "Mabait yan, h'wag lang kayo huminga sa harapan niya."Sabay-sabay silang natawa, then Sato clicked the next profile that popped up—Ravika's."Sugoii! Sya yung hinostage ko noong kinuha namin si Madelaine!" biglang tanong ni Sato, eyes wide. "Ang chix niya talaga."Binatukan ko naman sya. "Proud ka naman!""Tignan mo 'yung aura, pare," dagdag ni Tetsu. "Parang hindi mo alam kung iinom kayo ng kape o bibigya
