DALAWANG araw nang hindi bumabalik si Alessia sa mansyon ni Caio. Pero wala sa lalaki ang atensyon niya kundi ang paghahanap kay Xiaoyu. Magkatulong sila ni Wei sa pag-track pero bigo pa rin silang mahanap ito. It was like she just vanished without a trace, at iyon ang matinding pinag-aalala nila.

Hindi na nagulat si Alessia nang makita si Zhan na niluwa sa maindoor ng rest house. She sent a message for him that he immediately grasped what it meant.

“What do you mean the Vanguard is coming?” Agad na tanong ni Zhan nang makita si Alessia na abala sa pag-check ng mga security camera na na-hack nito gamit ang personal laptop.

Biglang naman sumulpot si Wei mula sa kusina. Nakapamulsa ito at kakatapos lang kausapin ang kanyang tauhan sa cellphone. He even cancelled his scheduled fan meeting and pretended to be sick so he could focus on searching.

“You heard it right. If Uncle ordered Ren to oversee the operation, we are in big t

    “WHERE is Ali?” tanong ni Caio kay Yaya Glo nang makauwi sa bahay. Hawak niya ang paper bag na ireregalo niya sa dalaga.Caio was expecting that Ali would be greeting him as soon as he entered the house, but he ended up disappointed.“Naku, Sir Caio. Nakalimutan kong sabihin na nag-extend siya ng day-off.” Alanganin ang ngiting nakaguhit sa labi ng matandang babae dahil sa pagsisinungaling. Maging siya kasi ay hindi rin ma-contact si Ali.“Saan daw siya pupunta? She only mentioned about roaming around the city.” Caio was concerned. What if something bad happened to Ali?Napakamot sa ulo si Yaya Glo. “Nabanggit niya na may plano rin siyang umakyat ng bundok sa norte, Sir Caio. Huwag kang mag-alala, baka pauwi na ‘yon.”“Please contact her. I’m getting worried.”“Okay po.”Sinubukang tawagan ni Yaya Glo ang dalaga pero katulad ng dati ay ou

    AKALA ni Alessia ay sasamantalahin ni Caio ang kanyang kahubdan para mauwi sila sa isang mainit na pagsasalo. But she was wrong, Caio guided her inside the bathroom.“It’s ready. Calm your nerves.” Ngumiti ito at iginiya siya malapit sa kinaroroonan ng bathtub.Hindi naitago ni Alessia ang pagkagulat nang makita ang mga rose petals na nakalutang sa tubig. Amoy na amoy rin niya ang mabangong lavender scented candle na sinindihan nito na dati ay wala naman doon.Tahimik na isinara ni Caio ang pinto ng banyo para mabigyan siya ng pagkakataong mapag-isa habang nagre-relax siya.His love language must be act of service… Naisip ni Alessia. Masuwerte ang babaeng totoong mamahalin nito. Nakadama rin siya ng panghihinayang dahil sa trahedyang nangyari sa fiancée nito.With all the things happening around her at the moment, Alessia knew she’d have to leave this place sooner than she originally plan

    UNTI-UNTING iminulat ni Caio ang mata at akmang yayakapin ang katabi niya pero agad niyang napansin na mag-isa na lang siya sa higaan. Caio smiled. It has been a while since he slept soundly. Mukhang malaki ang tulong ng presensya ni Ali kaya mahimbing ang tulog niya. He was getting used to her presence. He could be just himself whenever he was with her. He could lower his guard down unlike when he was dealing with his work and the underground. Ali became his safe space. Mabilis siyang bumangon matapos tumingin sa cellphone dahil umaasa siyang may magandang balita na si Enrico mula sa insidenteng kinasangkutan ni Rafaella. Pero wala pa siyang naririnig mula sa kanyang Capo. He strolled to the balcony of his room. Hindi niya inaasahan na tatambad sa kanyang paningin si Ali na nasa hardin at nagdidilig ng halaman. Caio dialed Ali’s new phone number. Nakita niyang kinuha nito sa bulsa ang cellphone na binili niya. “Bakit?” tanong nito. Umangat ang mata nito patungo sa kanyang kuwart

    SA LOOB ng madilim na kuwarto na tanging emergency light lang ang nagbibigay liwanag, hindi nag-aksaya ng panahon si Rafaella nang mapasakamay niya ang bihag na itinatago ni Caio. “Hello there, my sister's murderer!” Bati niya sa naghihinang si Xiaoyu. “The drug must have been potent that you woke up just now.”“Who are you?” Ikinurap ni Xiaoyu ang mata para mapagsino ang babaeng kaharap niya.“I’m Rafaella Gauci, and you’ll die in my hands.” Kinuha nito ang baril na nakapatong sa mesa. “I’m contemplating whether I should give you an easy death or not.”Hindi kumibo si Xiaoyu. Mukhang pinagpapasa-pasahan siya ng kung sinu-sino. Although she had already accepted her cruel fate, she strengthened her resolve not to betray the organization. Kahit iyon na lang ang maging kontribusyon niya tutal naging padalos-dalos siya at siyang dahilan na mapahamak ang mga kaibigan niya.“Hmm, blade or bullet first?” Rafaella mused.“Get it on and be quick!” determinadong wika ni Xiaoyu.“You want a quic

    MABILIS ang takbo ng sasakyan ni Caio. Ang isa niyang tauhan ang nagmaneho dahil hindi niya inaasahan na maaantala ang lakad nila ni Ali. He could not ask Sean to drive him since this involved the matters underground.Agad na nakarating si Caio sa paroroonan pagkatapos ng halos dalawang oras at gaya ng kanyang inaasahan huli na ang lahat.Nadatnan ni Caio si Rafaella sa loob ng basement sa pribadong hideout ng pamilya nito. Nagkalat ang dugo sa sahig. Even her hands dripped with blood—blood that did not come from her but from the body of her prey.Tila wala sa sarili ang babae dahil tumatawa ito na parang aliw na aliw sa mga nangyayari.“What the hell is this?” Dumagundong ang boses ni Caio. Lahat ng mga tauhan ni Rafaella ay nagsiyukuan para magbigay galang sa binata.Lumingon si Rafaella na abot hanggang tainga ang ngiti. “As expected from the Mafia King, you got me this quick!”&ldqu

    “ARE you kidding me?” pabulong na wika ni Alessia pero naroon ang diin. Kasalukuyan silang pasimpleng nag-uusap ni Zhan habang nagdidilig siya ng halaman at naglilinis naman ng sasakyan sa malapit sa garahe ang binata. It was already dusk, and the darkness concealed their presence on the blind spot of the security cameras around.“You heard me. We're going on a hunt,” ani Zhan. Nabanggit ng binata ang tungkol sa plano ni Ren pero hindi pa makakuha ng tiyempo si Zhan kung paano sasabihin kay Ali ang pagpanaw ng kapatid nito.“But why do you need to resign?” Halos magsalubong ang kilay ng dalaga.“I pray that the man you like would take good care of you as much as I do. I will always trust your judgment, Ali. I hope I'm wrong with everything I told you about him.” Mahinang wika ni Zhan.“I can protect myself. Regarding the hunt, I will join you.

    ALESSIA was surprised when she opened her eyes, Caio was still beside her. Nakayakap ito nang mahigpit sa kanya at payapang natutulog.Pinagmasdan niya ang mukha nito. She playfully touched the tip of his nose. Indeed, his presence made her feel at peace. Pero natatakot siyang masanay sa ganoon dahil alam naman niyang dinadaya rin niya ang sarili. She was firm at first, she’d never fall for him. Pero si Caio ang natatanging patunay na kabila ng impyernong pinagdaanan niya mula pagkabata, hindi siya tuluyang naging manhid. She was a human after all, capable of giving love—and it could be her ultimate weakness.Kumibot ang labi ni Caio. Namalayan na lang ni Alessia na unti-unti siyang napapangiti.‘I'm sorry, Caio. I need to leave for a while,’ aniya sa isip. She had to avenge Xiaoyu and find her body to give her a proper send off.Caio slowly opened his eyes. Kumurap ito nang ilang ulit matapos ay sumila

    THE three high ranking officials of the Chan Clan gathered inside the private study. Hindi na nagpatumpik pa si Ren habang naghihintay sila sa pagdating ni Ali. “This will be an all-out war against the Mafia. Uncle Paul started it, and we need to finish it,” wika ni Ren. Nakaupo silang tatlo na magkakaharap sa katamtamang laki na parihabang mesa. “How did uncle take it?” tanong ni Zhan.“He’s hospitalized. Only the squad knows about Uncle Paul’s current health condition. If someone leaks this crucial information, other clans will take advantage of it. The Triad will be in chaos because of an internal conflict, as other clans wanted to take the highest position in the organization.” Huminga nang malalim si Ren. “Fortunately, Jian and the girls are there to look for him and the business. As of now, we’re all good.”“Poor Xiao, this is all my fault. If only I tracked her on time this wouldn't have had happened.” Patuloy na sinisisi ni Wei ang sarili.

    “LET’S give him a benefit of the doubt. The world is big, that could be Sean’s doppelganger.” Caio said nonchalantly. Matapos niyang makahuma sa pagkabigla. He had to think rationally because it would be unfair to judge without solid proof.“It’s too much of a coincidence.”“If Sean is Zeus, he had hundreds of chances to kill me, Gio. But he never did.” Patuloy na pagtatanggol niya sa driver. Ayaw niyang maging padalos dalos. Lalo na at wala namang ipinakitang masama at kaduda-duda sa kanya ang lalaki nang mga panahong naglagi ito sa bahay niya at silang dalawa lang ang magkasama.“Maybe he never did because he’s unaware of your identity!”Caio shrugged. “It could be. But an assassin of Zeus’ caliber would not simply infiltrate my domain that easy. Didn’t you have a background check on him. You said he’d clean. Among the high-ranking officials of the La Guardia, you are the most suspicious. No one could get through in your prying eyes.”“Yes, but—”“Gather more evidence. Besides, if h
