Kabanata Tatlumpu't Anim
"Girl, you still have time to say goodbye." Jessy urged me.
We were inside a rented car. It was fully tinted so my family won't see us.
Nakita kong niyakap ni Jacob si Calvin. May binulong siya dito na ikina ngiti ng kapatid ko.
"Baka nagbago ang isip ni Calen pag makita niya ako. Okay lang, Jessy. Tinanggap ko na ang sitwasyon namin. Never silang magiging ligtas kasama ko." I replied not leaving my eyes away from the scene.
She rubbed my back and didn’t say a thing.
Binuksan ni Eric ang pintuan ng van. Ang lahat ng aming mga guard makakasama nila.
My former American guards will also be
Kabanata Tatlumpu't PitoI stayed in Jacob’s place that night. I checked all of his stuff to find the mask but it was not in there. Jessy was still bothered even if she was already at the party.Gusto ko sanang mag focus siya sa assignment niya pero nakikita ko sa CCTV na hindi pa rin siya mapalagay."I'll turn off the alarm once you're in his room Sphinx. Meron ka lang fifteen minutes. Sorry, that's the only time I could hold it." Sabi ni Griffin.Sphinx held his cap to give us the signal that he understood what Griffin said.Nasa kitchen siya na puno ng security kaya ang plano namin ay bibigyan lamang niya kami ng mga signal sa mga sasabihin namin sa kanya. Hindi na niya kailangan mag salita dahil baka may maka
Kabanata Tatlumpu't WaloKumabog sa kaba ang dibdib ko ng marinig ko ulit ang mga putok ng baril.The man that was holding me was pinning me to the ground."Ssh. Baka marinig nila tayo." Bulong nito sa akin.“Bitawan mo ko.” Mariin kong sagot at sinabukan siyang sipain pero na hawakan niya ang binti ko."Stay quiet or my partner will shoot your partner.” He whispered slowly in my ears.Natigilan ako ng maisip ko si Jessy.Ayokong masaktan siya.Nanatili kami sa posisyon na iyon ng ilang sandali."Wala na sila
Kabanata Tatlumpu't SiyamHindi namin mapigilan ang mga tawa namin dahil sa eksenang ginawa ni Jessy sa emergency room ng hospital. I knew her Manager would be mad because of the sudden news about her being in the hospital without him knowing but we can’t think of a better solution. Si Sphinx ang utak ng bawat misyon namin. Siya ang gumagawa bawat plano at kami lang taga gawa nito at wala pa rin siyang malay hanggang ngayon.Binayaran ko ang lahat ng kanyang gastos para masimulan nila ang operasyon. I just asked them to call me after so I could still take a rest.My body was sore all over.“You guys will stay here?” Baling ni Centaur sa amin."Oo. Dito nalang kami matutulog. Babalik ako sa ospital mam
Kabanata Apatnapu"JESSY!" I pulled my gun as I ran to follow Jessy's van.Agad kong pinaputukan ang likurang bahagi ng gulong ng van pero hindi ko natamaan. The van sped off leaving me behind.I gritted my teeth as I was thinking of a solution on how to follow them. Walang sasakyang duma daan sa kalsada.Tumakbo ako pabalik sa inn at sinubukang mag renta ng kotse o kahit motorsiklo pero wala silang maibigay sakin.Tangina!"Cindy? What's wrong?" I heard Ethan's voice.Before I could turn around, someone hugged me from behind."Are you okay baby?" Gusto kong u
Kabanata Apatnapu’t Isa Pinunasan ko ang luha ko habang iniisip si Jacob at ang aking mga kapatid. "Good girl. If you had listened to me before, we would not have reached this point. Ngayon dumiretso at sundin mo lahat ng ipapagawa ko. Once you enter the bypass road, you will exit your car with no weapons. My boys are waiting in a white van. Jessica’s white van. No weapons or else you know what will happen to your friend.” Tumawa ulit siya bago mawala sa linya. Hinampas ko ang manibela ng maraming beses dahil sa galit. Hintayin mo ako Jessy. Nakita ko ang pangalan ni Jacob sa screen ng cellphone ko bago ako bumaba ng kotse. I left all of the weapons that I prep
Kabanata Apatnapu’t Dalawa I saw Leo slouching in his seat as I opened my eyes. Pagod at pamumula ang kanyang mga mata. I tried to move but my hands were tied in the bed post. "Nasaan ako? Anong ginawa mo sa akin?" Tanong ko. His lips parted and gave me a wicked grin. I wanted to punch him to erase that grin in his face. I glanced down at my body when I felt a cold breeze on my chest. Walang kahit na anong saplot sa aking katawan. Tumayo siya at lumakad palapit sa akin. Umupo siya sa gilid ng kama at hinawi ang mga hibla ng buhok na nasa mukha ko. I saw the way his pupils di
Kabanata Apatnapu't Tatlo I still couldn't believe that Mina died because of my recklessness. Kinulong ulit ako ni Leo sa loob ng silid. He just left a glass of water in a paper cup. Tinanggal ng kanyang mga tauhan ang lahat ng babasagin at metal na bagay sa loob ng silid. I closed my eyes, thinking of my brothers. If I die in Leo's hands they will be traumatized for the rest of their life. I sighed as I think of ways on how to escape this hell hole. My feet and my one wrist were tied up again. I reached for the paper cup and drank all of the water. I need a clear mind now. Napangiwi ako nang makita ko ang mga sugat ko. Pinikit ko ulit ang aking mga mata at ini
Kabanata Apatnapu't Apat Hawak ni Jacob ang aking mga kamay habang binibigkas niya ang kanyang mga pangako. “...to have and to hold, to honor you, to treasure you, and to love and cherish you always. I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life.” Ngumiti siya at hinalikan ang aking mga kamay. Pinunasan ko ang luhang tumulo sa pisngi niya. He mouthed ‘I love you’ as I recite my vows to him. I stopped and hugged him tight. “Read your vows properly. You’re stuttering.” I heard him curse quietly as he pushed me off of him. Napatakip ako ng bibig nang makita ko ang mukha ni Leo sa harapan ko
