One week later... Wearing a black dress sign of sorrowing to her lost, a woman is sitting in front of a tombstone. Crying all day since the day of lamenting, her tears seem inexhaustible never dry. It's hard for her to accept but there's nothing she can do because maybe it's already his time. All the years they had spent together, still glad she never missed a thing to be with him, only the time he'd been shot and she is not there to save him. "Mom, let's go?" Basil asked standing right behind his mother. He even never shed a tear to his grandfather's death. Demetria nodded and wiped her tears, touching the name of his father's name that graves in the tombstone. "I love you, Dad. I'm gonna miss you." She said once more and stood up from the Bermuda grass. "Are you okay now, Mom?" She smiled, "Yeah, I'll be better as soon as I accept it." Basil nodded. "You should be." "And you seemed okay." "I don't want to cry, Mom. He lived enough years with us and it's already his time to li
Irish is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Manansala. They're neither rich nor poor. They're just in the middle-class. Irish is a party-goer. She always attends parties when someone is inviting her. Ignoring is not her thing. It's kind of a blessing for her and now her friend, Alice is inviting her again. As she goes downstairs, she saw her parents talking in the table. She wondered that's why she walked towards them. "Hey guys, what is with the serious atmosphere here?" she asked and sit in front of them. Her parents look at her teary eye. They never said a word. "Mom, Dad? What's going on? It seems you lost a child." she rolled her eyes. After saying her last sentence her mother started to cry. Her forehead knotted. "Okay? You guys are weird. Tell me what is really going on here?" "Baby you're getting married," answered of her mother and continued crying. She stopped when she heard her mother. Her eyes winded in shock. "Our business is getting down Baby that's why we chose th
Basil brought Irish to his Condo Unit where he's staying. When they got there, two of his men are waiting for them holding their luggage bags. It's Alex and Cufer. Basil drags her to his room and throws her in the bed. Irish gave him a death glare for the dragging her the whole time. He throws a white floral dress to her. "Change your clothes." He said as he eased the necktie of his suit. Irish glared at him, "I'm not coming with you Mr.—whatever is your name. We're not married!" she snorted and take-off her ring. "Put it back," he ordered. She laughed sarcastic, "I don't want to. Here's your ring!" She throws it to him. "I'm out." She stood up and about to walk when Basil held her arm tightly. Their eyes met. "You'll do what I say whether you like it or not. You are already my wife," he said pressing her arm. "O-ouch, its hurt!" she said in pain trying to release her arm to him. He released her. "Are you wearing back your ring or I will cut off your fingers? You choose, love."
When Irish came out, she stopped seeing the rooms that are almost ten as she counted it. Her eyes winded and she doesn’t know how she'll going to choose a room for her. All of a sudden, she looked at her right side when someone is coming. It's Della the only maid in the ancestral mansion. In her guessed they are just the in the same age. "Hey!" Irish called her. Della pointed herself to make sure if she's the one she is pertaining of. Irish nodded at her and she walk towards her. "Can you help me?" Irish asked her. Della's forehead knotted. "Pardon me, kyria mou (my lady)?" She cleared her throat first. "I said, can you help me to choose my room?" she asked her. The maid nodded. "Come." Irish followed her as she walked. Della gets the keys inside her pocket and opens all the room for her to choose. She doesn't know what room she wanted that's why she unlocked all the rooms. "You choose, kyria mou (my lady)," Della gave her the privilege. "Okay?" Irish start to walk room by ro
Irish is running and the woods. She can hear the different sounds of the animals there—and the footsteps that are chasing here. She needs to get out of there. She needs to—she suddenly screamed when a roar of gun shots endeavor the woods. The crows suddenly flew away because of the disturbance. "Help! Please someone help me!" She screamed for help but there's no sound coming out from her mouth. She wants to stop running because of tiredness. But she needs to run away to save her life. She doesn't want to die—but it's a dead end for her. She's almost running in the woods for almost three hours and she can't feel her foot. It became numb. She cried when she stumbled by a rock. Irish tried to run but it seems it was an unlucky night that her feet broke off. She didn't run again and cried in the middle of darkness in the woods. "I can hear you crying love." She bitted her lower lips and sobbed silently. She can feel it, he's nearby her. She stopped when she felt the cold head of his D
Walking back at her room hugging the folder that Basil gave her, she put it on the top of table and she will start reading it later night before sleeping. Her head tilted at the closet that he is talking about a minute ago. Because of curiosity she opened it. Her jaw dropped seeing the dozen variety of clothes hanged inside in the stainless steeled hanger. The smell of the clothes was brand new telling her no one use it because it was meant for her. Her hand picked a one dress and wears it. She smiled seeing herself in the human size mirror that the dress fitted her. The dress she is wearing is an A-line sleeve dress which is fitted to her shoulders to the waist and flare out gradually to the hem. Now she looked descent than she wore lately. Her forehead knotted. "Don't tell me even I was here, I will wear like this?" She asked in the mirror. "I'm expecting you to wear it or else you're going to be naked all the time here." Her eyes winded when she suddenly saw Basil in the mirror
Irish is wondering why Basil suddenly gone again. She ate alone in the long table eating all the food that served to her. Della didn't really join her even she had been forced by Irish. She really will eat after her together with the men who are guarding the mansion. Tonight, Irish is now ready to read the folder to answer her question about him. It's already 8:00 in the evening and Basil is not yet home. He's still in the underground monitoring his men time to time if they are doing the packing right. "Okay. I will find the answer here to my question. So, where should I start?" she asked staring the folders. Irish starts opening the folder and it's only contained five papers that are stapled together. Even she didn't read it; it seemed she has already an idea what are the papers about. She let out a sighed first before started to read it. She swallowed reading the 'Basil Costellanos Zafeiriou Case' and it has a red stamp nearby Basil's picture. He's wearing an orange clothes and he
Irish slowly opened her eyes when the light of the sun touches in her face. She looked around and she is still in Basil's room. All of a sudden, tears fell down in her eyes remembering what she saw and what he did to her. His dark aura made her trembling and to feel goose bumps. She knew that Basil didn't continue to take her whole but it's not enough for her to forget easily what happened last night.She continued crying until her tears dried up. As she stood up, she noticed a bouquet of roses in the side table nearby in the bed. Her forehead knotted when she saw a sticky note in it. 'I'm sorry' the words that are written there Irish crumpled it and throw the bouquet in the trash bin. She wiped the tear in her eyes that is trying to escape again walking back in her room.Della was done preparing the breakfast for Irish. Like yesterday she is going to eat alone because Basil left early to check if the Narcotics already packed. Della is heading at the second floor to call Irish. She ch

As Mando opened the door, Celestina smiled widely seeing the man she wants stepped inside. She was standing right in the table where the marriage contract placed in the top. After seeing the whole set up, Basil's forehead knotted in confused. His eyes tried to search for Irish and Bethena but he never sees them."You come so early in our wedding, Baby. I never yet calling you, but here you are now." Celestina bitted her lower lip. She was holding a gun in her right hand. "Hahaha. It doesn't matter if you are here now. I know you're just excited so you come early." She assumed laughing all by herself. "I'm really sorry about what happened to our father. I shot him accidentally." She looked at the Priest sitting dead in the chair."I never come here for this, Celestina. Where is my wife and my daughter?" he asked directly."I don't know. Why are you asking them with me?" Celestina wondered with forehead knotted."Stop fooling around. I know Irish is here and my daughter that you putted
The tracker device they'd been following leads them on a warehouse that is already abandoned but still functioning. Demetria stopped the car far away from the warehouse and gets ready her gun. They're the one who headed first and ten minutes before their companions arrive."Are we going to wait for them?" Demetria asked sighting the five men guarding outside to the telescope."No, we're going now without them Mom. We don't know what will happen in the 10 minutes if we will wait for them," Basil said holding his Double Barrel while Demetria holding a PP2000. "Celestina are with twelve bodyguards and the triplet inside. I bet they're professional so we need to be careful, Mom." he reminded. "And I'm the one who will deal with her.""Okay, then let's go now."They are now walking in the dark having gently footsteps at the ground, taking the way through side of the warehouse. They are quickly hided when one of the five looked in their way."Did you see that?""See what?" asked of his comp
After receiving the text that Celestina sent, Irish drive the car fast at the address she had in the phone. Her heart is pounding like how the speed of her car in the road. Every second are passing by is making her to have more eagerness to her heart to save and have her daughter back.Ring! Ring!In the middle of driving in the way, the silence of the night disturbed by the ringtone of her phone. She picked up her phone without taking the eyes in the road. Seeing Basil's name in the phone screen made her grimaced that is why instead of answering the call, she shut off her phone."After having dinner again in your face, you really had the guts to call me," Irish said seemed she was talking with him in the car.It took her hours driving in the road before Irish finally arrived. She swallowed after seeing the warehouse surrounded by Celestina's men, holding big guns. One of them looked in her way as he noticed the lights of her car."Someone is coming kyria mou, (my lady,)" said one of
In the rooftop of the Hotel nearby in the Italian Restaurant, Demetria is holding her huge sniper gun. Her eyes are focused in the telescope, zooming it in the road waiting for Celestina to come. She can definitely saw the passenger inside in front of the car passing by the road. But still there's no sign of Celestina she sees."Are you sure she will come? It's been an hour, Basil," Demetria said in annoyance and impatiently."She will come, Mom, I know. Let's just wait for her to come," Basil said looking all the people walking in his side."Wait..." Demetria zoomed again the telescope as he sees a black car stopped not far away where his son is. "Your bitch is already here.""Any companions?" he asked casually ready to face Celestina."Hmmm. Only one companion I can see from here. She is now walking towards you at your six o'clock. Am I going to shoot her now in the head?" she asked pointing the sniper gun to Celestina's forehead."No Mom! That's not the plan," Basil disagreed and a
Discussing 'bout the plan upstairs where Basil hide the bodies of five women, they suddenly interrupted when his phone ring. He looked at them after seeing the name of the reason why they are planning at the moment. "I think I don' need to call her anymore," he said and pressed the answer and let the speaker on, placing in front of them. "Hello Baby, how are you? You are just gone after what happened to us last night. Are you mad at me?" Celestina started in the other line seemed like a child. Demetria hissed hearing how the way she talked her son. Basil cleared his throat as he noticed his mother. "Why did you call?" Basil asked her casually. "Isn't that obvious? It is because I miss you. I bet you miss me too—in bed." "What the?" Della uttered without a sound and Alex shushed at her that she might make a sound. "Tell her now, Basil," Demetria ordered quietly in her place. Basil heaved a sigh, "Do you want to have dinner with me?" Celestina stopped in the other line and smil
Demetria and Goran are having their dinner at the long table eating the food that Della cooked for them. They'd been waiting for Irish to comeback at the mansion with Bethana again but they are just waiting the whole day. They thought Basil will bring them because he left earlier but he still not yet coming back."We should the one who visit Irish and my great granddaughter in their home instead of sitting here whole day," Goran complaint while they're eating, "I feel like I'm having back pain again.""You really just said it now? You should have said that earlier Dad," Demetria grimaced, "and for your information you're having again a back pain because you are already old. Do you even drink your maintenance?" she raised her eyebrow."I'm still drinking it, child. Don't worry I'm going to live more years," he said braggingly."I'm not worrying about you. I'm worrying about your maintenance that might be stock if you're not taking it," Demetria grinned but deep down of her, she really
Bethena is crying at the garden with Maggie. The window of Irish's room is opened a little that's why their voice coming out and Bethena hearing them. Nevertheless, in her young age she can't understand what they are fighting with but it breaks her heart. "Why are they fighting, Maggie? Are they not loves each other? Do they not love me?" Bethena asked whimpering looking up in the windows of her mother's room. "Ahh! Help me!" She wiped her tears when someone screamed for a help outside of the gate. Bethena is walking in curiosity through the gate and opened it. Maggie followed her when she stepped outside. A woman outbalanced herself in a bike she saw in the road having hard time to stand up. Bethena is standing in the gate looking at her thinking if she will help her. The woman looked at her. "Hey! Can you help me here little girl?" She asked. "Mommy told me not to come close to a stranger!" she shouted. "Oh? But I'm not bad, please help me here and I will treat you an ice crea
It was quite little mess in the room and the clothes they wore are left in the floor. The two are still in the deep of their sleep hiding in the breezing wind of the cold morning air under the Hotel's blanket. It's a wild and full of lust on what they did last night and it's almost hours passed before they fell in tiredness.Basil groaned as he awaked, holding his head that is in pain. He slowly opened his eyes and stopped as he saw Celestina is hugging him nakedly while sleeping. "Fuck." He whispered, trying to remember what happened."Wha-what did you put in my food?""I just put something that we're both going to like tonight."As everything flashes back in his mind, he closed deeply his eyes pulling his hear on what he had done. Basil's mind full of regrets thinking about how he will defend his self to Irish. He is surely that she will going to cancel out their wedding if ever. "Fuck! Fuck!" He cussed quietly all over again and slowly removes Celestina's hand around him.Basil get
