SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV
It’s Anderson’s hand.
Kilalang-kilala ko ang hugis ng kamay ni Anderson at ang mga singsing na sinusuot niya. That hand inside the glass vase with water that became bloody red because of the blood is clearly Anderson’s. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali o mamalik-mata lang. Gayunpaman, gusto kong paniwalaan ang isang ilusyon na kamay lang iyon ng isa sa mga kalaban na lumusob dito.
F*ck. What did they do to him? What happened?
Bigla akong napahawak sa ulo ko nang biglang bumalik sa alaala ko ang nangyari sa foster parents ko. They snipped their tongue. They made them suffer before taking their lives. And I was able to witness the horrible and brutal murder of those sick bastards to my second family once more, and Anderson was there to save me. He... saved me several times, but I couldn't save him when he needed it the most, and seeing his hand ma

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVNabasag agad ang isang baso na may lamang alak nang malakas ko itong itinapon sa ulo ng pangit na ugok. I shifted my gaze to the side, flattened my left hand on the table, and kicked him in the chest. Sinundan ko ng tingin ang pinagtumbahan niya. Knock out.Lumiko agad ang mga mata ko nang makita ko sa peripheral vision ko ang paparating na suntok. I swiftly tilted my head to avoid it and gave him an elbow strike. Pinulupot ko ang isa kong paa sa may likod niya’t pinatong naman ang isa bilang suporta para masipa siya. Tumalsik ako pero mas malakas ‘yong impact sa kanya. Hindi pa ako nakuntento ay nilapitan ko ulit siya, pinaharap siya sa akin at naupo ako sa may dibdib niya. With a poker face, I clenched my right hand with spiked brass knuckles and directly punched him on the face. Agad bumulwak ang dugo nang alisin ko na ang brass knuckles. Bahagya pa akong napapikit nang matalsikan ako

LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POVNothing 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

LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV"We found her."Mabilis akong napaapak sa brake na nanlalaki ang mga mata."I’ll be there." I ended the call and started the engine again. Para akong nakipagkarerahan sa puso ko habang ang utak ko ay kung saan-saan na lumilipad.Nang makarating sa headquarters ay agad kong tinakbo ang hallway papunta sa elevator. I feel like the time inside the elevator is so long that it suffocates me. F*ck, kailan pa naging ganito kabagal ang elevator? Kung kailan nagmamadali ay pinapabagal naman ng ibang bagay, lalo na ng oras.I reached for the handle of our office's glass door and noticed my team members. My gaze was drawn to Ark right away. When I spotted him, I swiftly approached him, without moving my gaze away from him."Speak." Ark turned around with a surprised expression on his face. Bahagya siyang napatitig sa akin. Ka

SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVMy 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 atfault. 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

LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV"It's been three f*cking days, Ark!" Napahilamos ako sa mukha't marahas na pinasadahan ng kamay ang buhok ko. I can also feel my eyes stinging and tears welling up. "What the hell are we waiting for? Hindi natin ito madadaan sa santong dasalan! F*ck! This is a bloodbath! Actions are far more important than words and planning!""Naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo, L?" Ark walked near me. "Hindi tayo basta-basta aaksiyon kung walang plano.""Goddamn it, Ark. Puro na lang pagpaplano ang laman ng utak mo tapos ano? It always backfires to us!""Akeldama is not an easy enemy–""Yeah?" I locked my gaze on his vexing eyes. "What can you say about Deianeira's actions towards them? Duwag ka lang."Ark clenched his jaw. "Take back what you just said, L.""What? Does it hurt your ego? Tss. Meron ka ba 'non sa s
A Shroud of Secrecy To be Continued...
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

Nagpatuloy ang tinawag na Marnella sa pag-iimpake."May ibang paraan, hija. Hintayin mo lang ako na tumakbong presidente sa susunod na botohan, bibigyan kita ng magandang puwesto."Marnella let out a soft laugh. "That's unfair to others, Dad.
