All Chapters of A Shroud of Secrecy: Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV My mother had been raped and wanted to abort me. Is that to say... I'm a mistake? She doesn't want to be with me from the start? Napilitan lang ba siya dahil sa ama ko na umako ng responsibilidad? And... it was because of a friend of my father's. So, my father isn't my biological father? I was born as a result of rape rather than their love? What the f*cking hell?! Dala ng pagkataranta ay muntikan pang masira ang tape nang mapagdesisyunan ko ulit na panoorin ito. My hands were shaking and my heartbeat’s getting faster as the video goes on. Naghintay akong matapos ang buong video, hoping that they will tell the name of the rapist, but they didn’t. I repeated the video numerous times with tears in my eyes, afraid to accept the truth. F*ck. I'm not going to believe them. This is not true. They are my biologic

LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV Nothing but the thundering thumps of my heart could be heard as I walked down the hospital's lengthy corridor. I'm still debating if what I heard from Elon is true or if they're simply making a fool of me, because if they are, I will f*cking kill them for making me feel this sh*t. Kausap ko palang si Bamboo bago kami umalis ng Maldives tapos pag-uwi namin dito ay biglang ganito? What the f*ck is going on? Is this a dream? This doesn't sound right in the least. Bamboo is not dead. It isn't possible. Bamboo, knowing her, will never keep every detail of our current situation hidden from me. "Nilusob tayo ng Akeldama. I thought we'd be prepared if it happened... but no." Elon’s body shivered. "Akala namin ay tatakutin lang nila kami at ang organisasyon pero hindi, eh. They've gone beyond our boundaries. Ang ilan sa atin ay sugatan pero si Bea... She's the only one... who didn't ma

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV My heart is pounding. I wasn't expecting to see him once I regained consciousness. I assumed I'd been captured by the Akeldama. What happened? Napatitig ako sa kanya. He's holding my hand while he's asleep. F*ck, why does he have to do this? Pakiramdam ko unti-unti na namang nagigiba ang pader na binuo ko sa loob ng ilang linggo. Just seeing him is enough to make my entire life crumble. That's something I didn't expect, but I guess people do change if someone or something disrupts your equilibrium. I clenched my fists and shut my eyes tight. I need to get a grip on myself. He and his family are at fault. I know I shouldn't blame him for what occurred between us in the past, but f*ck, he came from that family, the enemy of our family.  It was made worse by the fact that he kept his true identity secret from me. I can't afford to spend the rest of my life with a monster w

The quest for the truth and revealing the mysteries that have entwined all of our lives will go on indefinitely. No matter how hard we fight and how many lives are lost, nothing will change if the words we seek to end this brutal, bloody war come from the ones who are the root of everything. We, Deianeira Madigan and Blake Aeron Dalzell, would not be able to coexist if it weren't for our dark family histories. There will be no conflict between the two organizations if love didn’t prevail. Will the war ever stop if history repeats itself, or will it continue to be a never-ending cycle until the two organizations ultimately surrender? It will be a long and tiring series of events. Until then, see you on book 2, as diverse stories from the past come back to haunt us all, and provide us the answers we've been waiting for since the beginning of everything. We are not yet in the thick of the conflict, and we are far from the end; can you still witness the beginning of this long-overdue fi
