Hindi ko magawang tingnan ang nagkalat na bangkay sa bawat sulok. Kahit saan ako lumingon ay may nakikita akong marka ng dugo.Tila nawawala sa sarili na sinapo ko ang ulo ko. Hindi ko maramdaman ang mga palad ko at nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko. Pero isa lang ang nasa isip ko at ang dahilan kung bakit ako narito.Tumakbo ako patungo sa elevator at pinindot ang top floor. Alam kong narito lang si Clifford. Baka nagtatago lang siya sa kung saan kaya hindi siya makita nila Chanda.Pagbaba sa elevator ay nanlaki ang mga mata ko at bahagya akong napaatras. Napahawak pa ako sa pintuan ng lift para hindi ito tuluyang magsara. Sa harapan ko ay nakatayo ang taong naging puno’t dulo ng gulong kinakaharap namin.Kitang-kita ko ang panghihina niya habang sapo ang braso na nagdurugo. “You came back for m

I can smell the bodywash and the aftershave but I think he already finished taking a shower because the bathroom door was open.Nagbalik sa isip ko ang nangyari sa pagitan naming dalawa kagabi. Sa tingin ko hindi pa namin tuluyang naaayos ang problema pero magaan ang pakiramdam ko. Pakiramdam ko kahit papaano ay may nabunot na tinik sa lalamunan ko. Hindi pa man tanggal lahat pero alam kong matatanggal rin ito.Napalingon ako sa pintuan nang marinig ko ang pagtunog ng seradura. Bumangon ako at naupo sa kama habang hinihintay kung sino ang papasok roon. Mayamaya pa ay tumambad ang nakangiting mukha ni Clifford. He’s pushing a cart full of food.Agad akong napangiti at akmang kikilos nang bigla niyang imuwestra ang palad niya. “No, just stay there,” utos niya na nakangiti. Tumango naman ako at bumalik sa pwesto ko sa ibabaw ng kama.Isa-isa niyan

Isinara ko ang pintuan sa likuran ko at kinapa ang switch ng ilaw pero napapitlag ako nang marinig ang malamig na tinig niya.“Don’t turn the lights on,” Napalunok ako at hindi nakakilos mula sa kinatatayuan ko. I tried to adjust my sight in the dark, there I saw his silhouette on the other side of the bed. He’s sitting on the edge with his back on me.Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko so I just stayed where I am. Ni hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko at parang naumid ang dila ko.A few moments had passed and no one dared to speak. Tanging ang malalalim lang na paghinga namin ang naririnig sa apat na sulok ng silid. I wanted to talk to him. Maybe this is the right time to tell him what’s wrong. Pero sa tuwing ibubuka ko ang labi ko ay hindi ako makaapuhap ng salita.I don’t know where should I start. Napapitlag ako ng biglang tumikhim si Clifford then he spoke.“I’m sorry…” mababa ang tinig

Chapter: THIRTY-FIVEWinona’s POVA few hours later, Mason was finally transferred to a private room, and the doctor assured me he was out of danger. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. But even as I sat there, it wasn’t just his recovery weighing on my mind—it was the hospital bills. I didn’t have health insurance, and I hadn’t realized until too late that my son had been moved to such an expensive room, where every night cost a fortune.The doctor said we could go home the next morning. Maximus had already left for an urgent meeting, though he promised he’d be back. I exhaled deeply and gently brushed Mason’s hair as he slept.He was still on oxygen, but his breathing was steady, and he was resting peacefully.My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. When I turned, I saw an older woman in a maid’s uniform. My brows furrowed as I tried to place where I had seen her before.“Master Max sent me to help you take care of the child,” she said as she stepped into the room.I blinked, then nod

Mason was sitting on the floor watching TV, while Francisco lounged on the sofa, puffing on marijuana. My mother was leaning comfortably against his shoulder, scrolling on her phone.“For God’s sake, Ma! How can you let Mason inhale all this smoke?” I screamed hysterically as I scooped my son into my arms. In a fit of rage, I kicked the center table where Francisco’s beer and other things were scattered.They both jumped to their feet in surprise.“It’s not like your kid is the one smoking!

Why is it only now that I realize Maximus is behind all of this—the reason I have a stable job and a high salary?From the very beginning, he has been manipulating me.

They whispered among themselves, and I couldn’t tell if it was me they were talking about. Whenever I caught someone’s eye, they’d quickly look away or leave in a hurry.I tried to shrug it off, convincing myself I was just overthinking. They didn’t even know me, and I didn’t know them.When I arrived at the housekeeping department, Marti was just stepping out with her lunchbox. I smiled immediately when I saw her.“I’m starving.

It wasn’t just to acknowledge him—it was also a diversion to steer the media away from the murder of one of my employees. But that could wait.Right now, I needed to earn her trust completely.

I wondered why I had even thought of wearing a backless, below-the-knee dress tonight.I flinched when something warm brushed my shoulders—a jacket. Looking up, I met Maximus’s serious face, his gaze steady and unwavering as it settled on me.We were already on dessert, yet neither of us had dared to start a conversation. My tongue felt tied, though before I came here, I had so many things I wanted to tell him.“T-Thank you,” I murmured softly.He didn’t respond. Instead, he returned to his chair and sipped from the glass of rum the server had just refilled. I had lost count of how many he’d had, but the flush on his face was undeniable—proof that the liquor was catching up to him.I kept my gelato untouched, more focused on the man across from me.

But according to the report, it was just a gang fight, not mafia-related. For sure, it’s only a matter of time before Horacio’s mansion becomes the next headline—because with the number of dead bodies, it’s practically a massacre house.“How is he, Doc?” I asked the doctor after he stepped out of Clifford’s room. We were in a rest house, and that’s where everyone—including the surviving men—was resting.“He’s out of the woods now. He just needs to rest so his wounds can heal. Luckily, none of the bullets hit his vital organs,” he explained.I nodded repeatedly, then thanked him.

The doors sealed shut.I glanced at the floor indicator—he was heading down to the first floor.“Take the stairs!” I ordered, breaking into a run.“Gustav, where are you?” I asked between breaths.“We’re here, Boss—but we can’t reach your location yet.
