All Chapters of LUCIAN PROFACI (The Black Sparrow Society): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Anna died that day when the Slaterovich found out what she did and everybody went back to their normal lives. Lucian stayed behind about to be with Georgina a little longer, but eventually went back to Italy and started working. Kons did the same at si Georgina ay bumalik sa Spain. Sina Cameron at Ivanka ay masaya na sa buhay nila kapiling ang anak sa Pilipinas.Lucian kept himself busy with work. Si Lorenzo na ang umaawat sa kaniya sa trabaho. True to his word, he stayed away from the gems and did his business elsewhere. Humanap sila ng ibang supplier at iniwasan ang mga dating bansa kung saan sila bumibili ng mga diamante. It’s past ten in the evening pero nasa opisina pa rin si Lucian. Umiinom siya ng alak at dapat ay kanina pa siya nasa kama. He can’t keep still. Something is wrong— he can feel it. Pinto lang ang pagitan ng opisina niya at kwarto pero hindi siya dalawin ng antok. Then he heard a knock at boses ni Lorenzo ang narinig niya. “Come in.” Pumasok ito at mukhang aligaga

Almost twenty hours later, nakarating din si Lucian sa Pilipinas. Matraffic. Maingay. Nothing has changed the last time he was here. Georgina is staying at some townhouse in Parañaque. Iyon ang ibinigay na address sa kaniya ni Georgia. Sana ay hindi ito nagsinungaling sa kaniya dahil kailangan niyang makita ang kaniyang asawa. Wala ang guard kanina sa station nito at malamang ay nasa washroom. Sa pagod niya ay wala siyang planong maghintay. He managed to get inside the mini-subdivision and found what he’s looking for— 13 Shantz Street. Hindi naka-lock ang gate kaya nangahas siyang pumasok. The gate is not too far from the front door at sinubukan niyang pihitin ang seradura. Bukas din ito kaya pumasok siya.Out of nowhere, he had a gun to his head. He closed his eyes and didn’t move. He knows her scent. His wife is really here.“Lucian?” kunot noong tanong nito sa kaniya. “What are you doing here?” Ibinaba nito ang baril at saka isinara ang pinto. She locked it. Imbes na sumagot ay ni

Lucian picked her up and took her to the bedroom. He doesn't know how long they were sitting in the kitchen floor earlier pero nakatulugan na ni Georgina ang pag-iyak sa bisig niya kanina. Nang ilapag niya ang asawa sa kama at kumutan ay nagulat si Lucian nang maramdaman ang kamay nito sa palapulsuhan niya. "Stay." He was planning to go back downstairs to clean up, pero ipagpapabukas na niya. Times like these are rare and he is making progress with her. Lucian doesn't want to lose the momentum. He took off his pants but left his shirt and boxers on then lay down beside her. Nakatulog na silang magkayakap at nang magising kinabukasan si Lucian ay nasa kama pa rin siya. They were in a spooning position at nasa likod siya ni Georgina. He missed waking up beside his wife. Sinamyo niya ang buhok nito at hindi napigilang lapatan ng halik sa braso. She stirred in her sleep then finally opened her eyes. "Do you want coffee?" tanong ni Georgina sa kaniya. Pumihit ito paharap sa kaniya at i

Today is his first day at the site. The construction of the casino is moving along just fine. The people he works with seems to know what they are doing which makes his work less complicated.Mahirap magtrabaho kapag tanga ang kasama. Instead of doing the task at hand, mababaling ang oras sa pagtuturo sa kasama— or worse, sa pagtatama ng maling ginawa. Of course mistakes do happen. Tao lang at nagkakamali. But in jobs like this, there is hardly any room for error because it will cost lives and end in tragedy. In all his years of being a structural engineer, wala pa siyang naging aberya.“Good morning, Engr. Profaci,” bati sa kaniya ni Engr. Tagudin. “Welcome to our site. I’m Engr. Christopher Tagudin and we’ll be working closely together in this project. I’ve heard so much about you.” Lucian looked amused as he shook the Christopher’s hand. After taking a break from his career, he was unaware that he was still making a difference. “It’s nice to meet you, Engr. Tagudin. I’m excited t

He and Kons are in the same predicament. Parehong nanganganib ang buhay ng mga babaeng mahal nila sa buhay. Gusto niyang tulungan ito kaya nang puntahan nila ito sa Albarracin ay nag-usap sila sa study na sila lamang. "Why do I feel like you don't want to tell Georgina about this?" tanong ni Kons sa kaniya. Nagsasalin ito ng scotch sa dalawang baso. Inabot nito ang isa sa kaniya saka naupo sa isang silya. "I don't want to tell her because I don't know exactly how it would go." "What are you talking about?" Napalunok siya at saglit na nag-isip kung dapat bang sabihin sa kaibigan. Sa huli ay hindi rin siya nakatiis. "I was waiting for Sid to help me, but I didn't hear from him." Inilabas niya ang isang maliit na sobreng itim mula sa bulsa ng coat niya. Ipinatong niya 'yon sa lamesita at itinulak papunta kay Kons. Kumunot ang noo nito. "What?" "I received the same thing a few days ago. I don't know how that organization found me but you know how desperate I am to keep Vanessa sa
