black mesa incident

"Just like in highschool, if you have the rooftop, it means that it is your territory and there would be no one to stop your ascension...but, standing at the top gives bittersweet feelings too in between your glory and sorry." Biglaan ang pag-uwi ni Bella sa Pilipinas upang makita ang kanyang lolo na hindi niya kilala. Pagkauwi ay iba ang naabutan niya, ang testamentong siya ang magmamana ng lahat ng ari-arian ng mga Echizen.

Nangako siya sa kanyang ina na magbabagong buhay. At dahil doon ay nagtago siya sa pagiging isang nerd. First day of school, nakabangga na niya ang bully na si Jarvis Fortalejo na kilala bilang Emperor ng Black Dragon Gang, ang kinatatakutan na gang sa Pilipinas. Dahil sa insidenteng iyon ay hindi na matamihik ang kanyang school life kaya naisip ni Bella ang makipag deal sa black dragon gang pero hindi niya akalain na iyon ang makakapagbago na kanyang buhay. Bella was forced to disguise as the girlfriend of the Emperor and she hated his guts! Jarvis Fortalejo is sure to be the king of arrogance, hot headed and ruthless leader pero biglang naglaho ang impression niyang iyon nang makilala niya ito. Marunong din pala siyang tumawa at masaya rin palang kasama. Hanggang sa dumating na nga ang araw na— she fell in love with him. But becoming the Emperor’s Queen will not be easy as she will be forced to face the challenge of his underlings, the 5 Gangs. Will she fall back and lose the man he learned to love or will the legendary Black Butterfly step up to win the fight?

Sifting through the view, I caught a glimpse of two figures out on the field, fighting. Focusing on them, I realised that it was Beta Matthias and Alpha James, they were sparring, training. Chests bare and glistening with sweat, I couldn't help but stare. "I'm liking this new view,” chimed in Atonia, interrupting the silence, “I could get used to seeing this.” "Mmm… I- what?! No! You cannot have a crush on our Alpha,” I exclaimed, flushing red, feeling the heat run through my body. "Well it seems that I am not the one with the crush, you are!” she teased, chuckling down our bond. "I am not! I do not have a crush on the Alpha, that's absurd, Atonia!” I retorted, feeling flustered. "Right… so why haven't you stopped watching him then?” Atonia asked, amusement in her voice, "oh and look, he's looking at you.” She was right, he was staring right at me, watching as I watched him, a smirk on his face. I need to get away. I need to take my mom and run away from this place. I can't leave her here, not with him, not with my father. This town has become a prison, my own personal hell.
