"Get the hell out of here. I don’t f*cking need her anymore." Those were the last, painful words I said after using her, but I didn’t care. It was an accident. It wasn’t my fault she ended up with me. I had just come from the bar when something happened. Someone injected me with a s*x drug. I couldn’t control myself. I tried to make my way back to my mansion to shake off this b*llsh*t, but when I saw her walking alone under the moonlight, something awoke in me. I couldn’t control myself. I brought her into the shadows and used her. I didn’t give a damn if she was hurt by what I did to her. The only thing that mattered was satisfying the l*st and desire stirred up by that damn drug. She should be thankful she tasted the touch of a Mafia Lord. I know she saw my face under the moonlight, and I saw hers too—and it was f*cking incredible. She had an angelic face, she was stunningly beautiful, and her body was as smooth and scorching hot. Since that night, she’s haunted me. I can’t get h
I clenched my fists, my mind swirling with anger and disbelief. Aestheria-someone I had trusted completely-was the one who betrayed me, setting off this chain of madness that had haunted me every single day since that night. She injected me with that damn dr*g, manipulating me when I was at my most vulnerable. All this time, she had been pretending to be by my side, acting like a loyal friend. But her kindness, her presence -everything was a lie, all part of her twisted scheme to get what she wanted. "Siya din ang dahilan kung bakit hindi dumating ang mga arms natin. She fcking blocked our men, bud. She's a psychpath. Imagine, she has a puppet just like you. Please, be careful with her, bud. Hindi natin alam kung ano pa ang pinaplano niya. All I know is she wants to be your f*cking Queen. She will do everything, bud." After hearing those words, my mind exploded with fury. I wanted to kill someone. I had hired investigators to look into what happened that night, only to discover th
"Kalma, boss. Ginawa namin 'yan para malito ang kalaban, para hindi nila mahalata na iisang tao lang ang hinahanap natin. Galing ko talaga! Ako ang nakaisip niyan, boss," sabi ni Virgo, proud na proud habang ngumingiti. Napahilot ako sa sentido at sumandal sa swivel chair sa opisina ng mansiyon ko. Tama si Virgo, may punto siya, pero paano kung mabasa niya 'yung mga balita? Ano na lang ang iisipin niya tungkol sa akin? Na ako ay isang chickboy? Baba*ro? Playboy? User?! Siya lang naman ang hinahanap ko at ang kinababaliwan ko. Wala nang iba. "Isang taon na lang ang natitira para may maipakita sa ibang mafia na may magmamana sa titulo bilang Mafia Lord." Napailing ako. "Ano na naman 'to, huh?" "Chill, boss. Para lang hindi sila maghinala. Baka kasi malaman nilang importante ang tao na hinahanap natin, boss," sagot ni Virgo, parang hindi pa rin alintana ang bigat ng sitwasyon. Putangina, hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin siya mahanap. She's so damn good at hiding. Why, honey? W
I refused and denied everything. Why wouldn't I? Siya lang ang nag-iisang babae na natikman ko at kung kanino ko buong pusong ibinigay ang katawan ko. That's the truth. I'm not a fan of s*x. Kaya ko namang isatisfy ang sarili ko in other ways. Tsk! And now, after hearing the news from Damian, who told me they were here, in my own hospital, I quickly sent my men to investigate. But a part of me hesitated- paano kung hindi totoo? Kahit ganon, I pushed through, driven by a nagging hope I couldn't ignore. The whole day felt like torture, every hour longer than the last, until night finally came. Nasa sala kaming lahat- mga kaibigan ko, kumpleto ang grupo. Damian handed me a DNA test. My hands shook as I took it from him. Parang natutuyo ang lalamunan ko habang binabasa ko ang resulta, at halos nawalan ako ng malay nang malaman ko ang katotohanan. I have a child -not just one, but twins. Kamukhang-kamukha ko pa sila. Halos huminto ang paghinga ko sa bigat ng emosyon nang malaman kong
Pagkatapos kong bumulong sa kanya, sa mga salitang, "Wala ka nang dapat ipag-alala, honey. Nandito na ako, at hindi na kita iiwan." Mahigpit ko siyang kinumutan, pinagmamasdan ang maamong mukha niya habang natutulog. Sobrang ganda niya—ang babaeng bumihag sa puso ko. Pati sa kanyang mga mata, makikita ang mga pinagdaanan niya dahil sa akin. Nais kong bawiin ang bawat sugat na dulot ko. Lumapit ako sa mga anak namin, tahimik na natutulog habang magkayakap sa kama. God, I felt complete. Parang nasa langit ako sa kasiyahan. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam, parang wala nang kulang. I'm happy that we're finally okay. My honey isn’t afraid of me anymore. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang saya ko. Pakiramdam ko, gusto kong tumalon sa rooftop sa sobrang saya. I even felt like kneeling in front of God in gratitude. Hindi ko na papayagan na magkalayo pa kami. We’ll build the strongest family now—me, my honey, and our quadruplets. I’ll do everything to keep them safe. I f*cking will. I had an amnesia, and
"Tatay stop! You became paranoid again. Nanay is in the kitchen. Kumakain po siya. Morning tatay." napatingin ako kay Zebediah na huminto pa talaga sa harap ko habang may dala-dalang cupcakes. Napahinga ako ng malalim sa narinig ko. God. Why I'm f*cking paranoid again? Takot akong iwan niya ako kahit napakaimposibleng mangyari. I don't know natagpuan ko nalang ang sarili kong matataranta at matakot kapag di ko siya masilayan sa pag-gising ko. I want to see her when I woke up in the morning. Gusto kong makita ang mukha niya pag-gising ko. Di ko kayang di siya makita dahil kakabahan ako ng sobra. Yung topo na isang segundo lang ako iiwas ng tingin sa kanya feeling ko mawawala siya bigla sa paningin ko. "Good morning too, sweetie." I kissed her cheek and she kissed me in the cheek also then sauntered to the kitchen but before that I caught my other m*nsters in the living room. They are busy to their stuffs. Pagdating ko sa pinto ng kusina, I lean against the door while staring my h
Seeing my family, I feel so happy, complete, and content. Living on earth with them is beyond what I ever imagined. It’s a feeling I can’t explain. My dream has finally come true—something I’ve wished for my whole life. To have a family filled with love and happiness is all I’ve ever wanted. There’s nothing more I could ask for except for our continued health and happiness. I love them all, my family. At last, we’re living peacefully, in harmony."Ano na naman ang ginawa mo, Zuhair?" tanong ko, nakahalukipkip sa harap niya. Napakamot naman siya sa batok at ngumiwi."We're just playing, tatay," sagot niya."Kita ko, anak. Kita ko. Ang ibig kong sabihin ay bakit mo na naman tinuruan ang mga kapatid mo ng ganun?""It's okay, tatay. It’s fine. We’ll just play video games instead. Come here, Eros. Let’s play some games," sabat ni Zephyr, nakatutok na sa flat screen TV. Laglag naman ang balikat ni Zuhair nang marinig ito at napalapit na lang sa kanila, kaya napatawa ako. Ayaw niya kasi ng v
"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday, quadruplets!" "Make a wish! Make a wish, kids." "Me first! Me!" sigaw ni Zebe habang tinaas ang kaliwang kamay, may ngiti sa kanyang mga labi. Napatawa ako at napatingin sa tatay nila, na hinihele ang bunso naming anak sa kanyang bisig. Ang mga mata niya ay nakatutok sa apat habang nasa harapan nila ang malaking cake na may numerong 8 na kulay ginto’t itim, may iba’t ibang klaseng disenyo. Ang kambal naman namin ay masayang naglalaro sa kanilang Uncle Virgo. "Okay, Zebe. Make a wish first," sabi ko sa kanya habang itinutok ang video cam. Nakatitig sa kanya ang tatlo niyang kuya, bawat isa may kanya-kanyang reaksyon. Nakangiti si Zuhair, nakakunot ang noo ni Zephyr, at si Zeus naman ay seryosong tinitingnan si Zebe at ang cake. Silang apat ay may suot na birthday hats at naka-pink na t-shirts, dahil iyon ang request ni Zebe, na may handprint na unicorn sa gitn
