Ang pulang ilaw mula sa laser ng mga nakatutok na riple ay tila mga buhay na uod na gumagapang sa dibdib ni Wenshie. Ang bawat kurap ng pulang tuldok sa kanyang balat ay tila dila ng apoy na nagbabadya ng kamatayan. The metallic, rhythmic beeping of the detonator in K’s hand echoed inside the sealed penthouse, filling the pitch-black space with a suffocating, lethal cadence.

Nine.

Eight.

“Khier…” Wenshie whispered, her voice almost non-existent, a fragile thread of sound drowned out by the mech

    “Khier!”Ang tanging natira sa lalamunan ni Wenshie ay isang paos at basag na tili na agad ding nilamon ng nakatutulig na ugong ng sirena. Ang kanyang mga palad ay nakadikit pa rin sa makapal at malamig na bulletproof glass ng shutter, ngunit wala na siyang makita kundi ang makapal at itim na usok na unti-unting pumupuno sa kabilang bahagi ng salamin.Wala na ang putok ng baril. Wala na ang boses ng kanyang amang humihingi ng saklolo. Wala na ang nakatatakot ngunit kalmadong tinig ni Hector.At higit sa lahat… wala na si Khier.“Hindi… hindi

    Ang tunog ng putok ng baril ay tila nagpatigil sa pag-ikot ng mundo.Isang nakatutulig na katahimikan ang bumalot sa makitid at madilim na eskinita ng BGC, habang ang usok mula sa dulo ng baril ay marahang humahalo sa malamig na hangin ng gabi. Ang amoy ng pulbura ay humalo sa amoy ng basang semento at dugo.Wenshie’s hands were shaking violently, her fingers still clamped tight around the cold grip of Khier’s spare gun. Ang kanyang paningin ay nakapako kay K.Sa loob ng ilang segundo, nanatiling nakatayo si K, ang kanyang mukha ay bakas ang gulat at hindi paniniwala. Dahan-dahang ibinaba ng lalaki ang tingin sa sarili nitong dibdib. A dark, thick stain of crimson was rapidly blossoming on his white linen shirt, directly over his heart. He let out a wet, rattling gasp, his gun slipping from his fingers and clattering onto the wet asphalt.“W-Wenshie…” K whispered, his voice cracking, spitting out a mouthful of blood. “You… actually…”Bago pa man niya matapos ang kanyang sasabihin, ang

    Ang pulang ilaw mula sa laser ng mga nakatutok na riple ay tila mga buhay na uod na gumagapang sa dibdib ni Wenshie. Ang bawat kurap ng pulang tuldok sa kanyang balat ay tila dila ng apoy na nagbabadya ng kamatayan. The metallic, rhythmic beeping of the detonator in K’s hand echoed inside the sealed penthouse, filling the pitch-black space with a suffocating, lethal cadence.Nine.Eight.“Khier…” Wenshie whispered, her voice almost non-existent, a fragile thread of sound drowned out by the mechanical countdown. Ang kanyang buong katawan ay nanginginig, hindi lang dahil sa lamig ng aircon na unti-unting nawawalan ng kuryente, kundi dahil sa multo ng kamatayan na nakatayo sa kanilang harapan.Khier didn't flinch. In the dim, red-tinted darkness, his towering silhouette stood like a granite wall in front of her. His hand remained behind his back, slowly, invisibly sliding toward the small of his spine where his customized semi-automatic pistol was tucked. His muscles were so tense they l

  • Beautiful Mistakes   CHAPTER 22

    The deafening blast of a gun sliced through the pitch-black darkness of the study room, vibrating violently inside Wenshie’s eardrums. Sa isang saglit, tila huminto ang buong mundo. She expected to feel the white-hot, piercing pain of a bullet tearing through her flesh, expected her vision to fade into nothingness habang dahan-dahang umaagos ang kanyang dugo sa malamig na sahig.But the suffocating grip on her mouth suddenly vanished.Isang mabigat na katawan ang bumagsak sa sahig sa kanyang tabi na may kasamang kalunos-lunos na tunog. Wenshie stumbled forward, her bare feet slipping on the smooth mahogany floor, bago tuluyang napaluhod sa takot. Gasping for air, she pressed her back against the side of Khier’s heavy wooden desk. Ang kanyang puso ay walang tigil sa marahas na pagtibok, tila ba lalabas ito mula sa kanyang dibdib sa tindi ng kaba.Through the dim, gray light filtering from the foggy Tagaytay sky outside, she saw a shadow slumped on the floor. Ang nakahandusay na lalaki

    The morning sun tried its best to pierce through the heavy Tagaytay fog, casting long, pale shadows across the master bedroom. Wenshie slowly opened her eyes, feeling the lingering warmth of the previous night. For a brief, fleeting second, there was peace. She could still feel the phantom touch of Khier’s hands on her skin, the memory of his desperate, passionate whispers keeping the nightmares at bay.But the moment she rolled over, reality crashed down on her like an avalanche.The other side of the bed was empty. The sheets were cold.Wenshie sat up, wrapping the thick duvet around her bare shoulders. A heavy weight settled in her chest as she remembered Hermes. The grief was a physical ache, a reminder that the war they were in was real, and it was leaving a trail of bodies in its wake.She got out of bed and slipped into Khier’s silk robe, tying it tightly around her waist. She needed to find him. She needed to feel his arms around her to convince herself that they were still sa

    Every tick of the clock felt like a countdown to Wenshie. Ang katahimikan sa loob ng master’s bedroom sa Tagaytay safehouse ay tila unti-unting sumasakal sa kanya. She paced back and forth, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird.Kanina pa naka-lockdown ang buong mansyon. She had watched from the window as Khier’s security detail doubled their patrols, standing like iron statues in the cold Tagaytay mist. When Khier called her on his way back, his voice was so cold, so devoid of life, that it terrified her to her very core. He had told her everything—the fire at the port, the ambush, and Hermes...Hermes was dead.The childhood friend she grew up with, the man who had desperately tried to win her back in all the wrong ways, was gone. Wenshie squeezed her eyes shut, letting the tears finally spill over her cheeks. She felt a sickening mixture of grief, guilt, and absolute terror. K was a monster who had no boundaries, and according to Khier, the psychopath was heading
