AMEIRA finished performing with her own band. Three weeks have passed and for the three weeks, she has been singing. Sometimes she performs on the street to increase her income and often takes part in various bar gigs as well. "Are you coming? We'll eat outside," Marvin Cagayan asked Ameira as she got off the stage. She didn't bother to fix the used instruments because someone else would use them. They aren't just the band that performs here, they are also famous and have producer bands as well. Marvin is the pianist in the band. He is also adept at other instruments. "No, I still have a part-time job. Go ahead," she replied. Joseph Quinton and Mark Salazar also came down. “Won’t you take your payment first before going to your next job?” Marks asked, the beatboxer in the group. It was with Joseph who was the drummer of the band. "I'll take it before I go," Ameira replied sparingly. As for Ameira, she put the guitar in its bag. She works at an exclusive hotel in Makati, Manila,
She was on her way to continue her racket at a Five Star Hotel. She was in the midst of a crowd of people and the noise of cars and vehicles honking. The night was too lively for her, so she had no interest in what was going on, or even what everyone else was doing. She only cared about earning money and the amount of work she had. It's past ten o'clock at night and rush hour has started. It's Friday so it's really crowded. Ameira stopped walking when the stoplight turned red, as the others did cross the pedestrian lane. They waited sixty seconds before the light turned green. On the other hand, there was a young man who had just gotten home from work and was wearing office clothes; he was driving a white Mercedes Benz when someone suddenly started talking on his cellphone, which was placed beside his laptop and papers in the handbag in the passenger seat. He reached for his cellphone without looking at the road so he didn't notice that the stoplight turned red. When the light tu

My aunt, the wife of the person who molested me, slapped me hard. My body was filled with bruises and scars that had healed from the abuse I received at the hands of the people I lived with. "The thickness of your face! I let you stay in our house because you begged me to take you! But what did you do?! You flirted with my husband and then you said he touched you?! The thickness of your face! You have no shame! " She shouted at me. She violently pulled my hair and dragged me out of the house. "Get out! It doesn’t mean I have been so kind to you; you can just flirt with my husband! You’re still young, but you know how to flirt, and really with a married man! Shame on you! Your uncle is the one you chose to crawl on! " she yelled full of anger and disgust. I shook one after another. I wanted to speak, but my voice failed to come out. I wan
In the exclusive hotel where Amérira works, she's currently changing her clothes to match her uniform as a cleaner. She has long forgotten how to fall in love or what it feels like to fall in love. She was too rocky to feel that, even to take the time to do so.Three knocks stopped her from tying her hair after putting on the uniform. She was asked by the housekeeper of her coworker, "Shane, are you done getting dressed yet?".Ameira took the clothes off and stepped out of the bathroom. "I'm done," she replied sparingly and not even smiling.Lara felt horrified at the tone of Ameira's words and just shook her head in disgust. "Oh, our head said you should change. Our location is in the pool right now because they lack staff so we will replace them," Lara reluctantly told her as she handed her the revealing black dress with a white tie.Ameira stared at it; her forehead slightly furrowed. "Isn't that a little too revealing to wear to work?" she asked.Lara's eyes rolled. "I don't know
M O N D R A G O N H O T E L, C O N T R O L R O O M. "This is the background of the three men." SPO2 reached the white folder and was instructed to conduct a background check with the Chief Intelligence Officer. Mike accepted it without dismissing the CCTV footage. Observing the three men, he watched them as they parked their vehicles in front of the lobby of the doors leading to the party. This was the scene of the incident. Mike couldn't believe that the cause of their death was suicide and if it was, what is the reason why they committed suicide? Based on their clothes and fancy cars, it is obvious from the state of their lives that they have no problem financially. They were still having fun as the three walked into the lobby, based on the footage. On the fifth camera, you can see the pool area, where the party took place. Friends are happy to interact with other acquaintances. It looks like they are the ones who start the party that's why it is so elegant. Mike continues to
"What did you find about the four primary suspects?" Casya asked him while walking."None. But they look suspicious," he replied. His forehead creased while reading the information of the victims."What?! You found no evidence but you invited them for investigation? Are you insane? That's against the law!" she freaked out.Mike's eyebrows formed a single line as he looked at her. "There's nothing wrong with what I did and I didn't say I would imprison them without a piece of strong evidence, Casya. You're thinking too much of whatsoever." He shook his head and entered the private room where the primary suspects gathered.When Mike entered the room, he saw one of his teammates questioning a suspect. Four were pulled over to the long table while Mike's teammate was in the middle, throwing questions at them. Seat 1 | Seat 2 | Seat 3 | Seat 4=========== Long table ============ (Detective)"Did you know that you have no right to interrogate us? You never
Currently, Mike was standing at the end of the rooftop where the incident occurred. His arms are folded as he watches the view of the whole city below. When he looked down at the swimming pool where the corpses had fallen, he was frightened. This hotel is forty floors high - surely no one can really live if one jumps from this height. F O U R H O U R S B E F O R E T H E I N C I D E N T. JB Rosales is currently riding in his Lykan Hypersport car towards the Mondragon Five Star Hotel. Today, they will celebrate the successful negotiation between his family and their business partner. He received so much pride from his whole family that he decided to celebrate the achievement. He invited his close friends, Brian Ramos, and Elyano Bagongbuhay. The three have been friends since childhood. Perhaps their fathers are also close to each other. They share in joys and sorrows—even in selling drugs and unlicensed guns, even in raping. In other words, they are not just typical businessmen, t
The door slammed shut on the three men. JB entered first and turned to his two friends and signaled them to make sure that no one was following them. The two nodded and looked outside before finally locking the door. The road leading to the storage is not covered by CCTV, even if the storage has no camera inside. So that's how the three of them are complacent. "How's it?" was JB's question. The two shook their heads. Elyano replied, "Safe and clean, no intruder." "Good, because this is extremely confidential. If we fail..." he looked around at Elyano and Brian who swallowed at the same time, "...we'll die." After talking, they began administering the drugs to the attendees. This drug is a product of Montevallo Corp., and what they are doing now is a test in order to become a permanent part of the company. Montevallo Corp. officials explained that the new drugs must be tested on a large number of people to ensure their effectiveness. This assured them that the drug was not dead
