THE DIPLOMAT: His Doubts
“That brat isn’t my beau, Jerson. You know you’re my Cara, right?” Vishnu asked with his odd soft voice. He held Jerson’s hand. “I can explain!” he added.
Jerson was too stunned to even utter a word. How did Vishnu know that they were in the General’s office? Where did his nerves come from for him to ditch those influential families? Jerson frustratedly sighed. Vishnu really had the guts to do it, and this might cause an uproar that would make those families wary of Vishnu. He rubbed his temple as he could only imagine the aftermath of this sudden turn of events. Vishnu came forward in front of Jerson and held Jerson’s face using his trembling hands. He huffed before looking directly at Jerson's eyes. He then stroked his beloved's face and said, “Let me explain, hmm?”Jerson shoved Vishnu’s hand. “You don’t have to explain, Vishnu,” he mumbled. Vishnu shook his head. “I’ll explain, okay? Please don’Related chapters
Clandestine Affair THE DIPLOMAT: The Apology
“What happened to your hand, Jerson?” Jerson stared at his right hand and saw that it was trembling. His tie didn’t stop the prod’s electricity from running through his hand’s vein. It was foolish of him to believe that if he warped his hand with silk, it could lessen the pain and would stop his hand from trembling. Although he knows it wouldn't, there was no harm in trying. Jerson shrugged his shoulders before looking at Van. “This is nothing. I won't die from something so trivial like this.”Van grabbed his hand. “If you leave it like that, you might suffer from the aftermath effect of the prod. You might not feel it now but in later years. It might worsen if we don't give it extra attention.”Jerson laughed humorously. “You know how to treat this?”Van stopped halfway from taking off the necktie that was tangled around Jerson’s hand and thought about the aiding lesson he had learned in his senior years. Later, Van shook his head. “I
Clandestine Affair THE DIPLOMAT: The Ferrer’s Heir
“Take that down or I’ll fucking make your life miserable!” the General shouted as he shoved his things away from his table. He was enraged by how things were getting out of his control. First, the meeting assembly was disturbed by a sudden cyber-attack from a foreign computer address and the hackers dared to play a heinous video. Second, one of the top students was arguing with the lowest section. Third, there was a commotion at the gate caused by the bystander. The General could see the disappointed faces. The wary complexion of those guests made him mad as they had high expectations for the Academy. The disruption was stressing him out.The General unbuttoned his polo shirt and looked at the computer that was being operated by a computer expert. The General was killing the man, who schemed such a ridiculous stunt, in his mind. They disturbed his good time and ruined his damn image and such sin should be rectified by the affiliated punishment. He won’t let this sli
Clandestine Affair THE DIPLOMAT: Under Arrest
“Owes you a life?” Vishnu confusedly asked. Jerson nodded. Indeed, the General owes him a life. Although he didn’t die because of the incident years ago that somehow was portrayed as an accident, it still was the reason why he couldn’t remember a thing about a certain person and because of it, something inside him felt like passing. There was a void. He felt incomplete as he knew he forgot someone important but couldn’t remember who.What if that person leads him to his parents? What if that person is the key to everything he needs to find out? What if that man was the missing piece of the puzzle he was having a hard time solving? What if that person freed him from everything that was restraining him? What if that man could make him feel he is worthy of Vishnu’s affection? Jerson knew exactly that he, who was broken, couldn’t love a person wholeheartedly. It might be unfair to the other party and unfair to him because right now, he couldn’t give his love
Clandestine Affair THE DIPLOMAT: The Last Part
[Cancel Senator Kio Bourner!][Death Penalty for the Criminal General!][Burn the General!][Cancel!][Cancel!]Social media was in an uproar as the netizens were angry at the General’s malfeasances and crimes. They were asking for his infamy. Even his supporters were riled up. They were scammed by a criminal!The media users and reporters started to dig up the statement of the General and all the parties involved. The dispatchers were waiting outside the police stations. They hoped to take a photo of the General and one of the powerful families. Likewise, reporters hoped to get even a single statement from them. One of the social media users asked, “So where are those people who fought for the Senator's innocence? Now that those documents and proofs are disseminated by the media, I'm sure none of you will fight for him again, no? Or are you still blinded and fooled? How does it feel t
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: The Casino
“The Vox?” Jerson asked. The Vox family was the opposite of the Dior family. Although the two different families are related, they have different public images. If the Diors were seen as the moral standard, the Voxs were the downside. They are basically the rotten end of the Dior but Jerson believed otherwise. He believed that the family Vox wasn’t the same as the rumors said. That was also the reason why this news shocked him. “Yes,” Van answered. “Though it wasn’t surprising given their nasty behavior.”Jerson did not say anything absurd regarding the Vox. He needed to find out if the Vox family is really associated with the General. A fact check is always a must. He was acquainted once with the Vox and they are different from what the rumors said. They just don’t care about the gossip and just let their image rot down to its core. They don’t really care about society’s opinion and their mindset was what Jerson admired. Such pure people couldn't be the ones
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: Lover
“Keep that away.”Jerson said while pointing his finger at the boxes of chocolates that Leon put into the cart. Vishnu gladly obliged and put it back on the shelves. He continued strolling at the supermarket as Vishnu simply walked beside him. He stopped at the milk ledges and scrutinized their expiration dates. He chose those packages that were about to expire in a month or two and put them into their cart.Vishnu brushed his hair. “That will expire in a month or two,” he pointed out.Jerson shrugged his shoulders and started walking again. “I’m gonna use it in a month or less anyway, so I don’t mind.”Vishnu nodded. Again, silence dominates them. It wasn’t awkward and uncomfortable talking to Vishnu unlike before. Ever since the bar incident, a wall between them seems to have been destroyed. They seemed to be closer and more intimate. Jerson stopped walking and tugged Vishnu's shirt. “Can you len
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: Attacked
Jerson looked at Vishnu with his astounded face. “I think I heard it wrong. What was that again?”Vishnu chuckled. “Can you be my boyfriend?” he asked for the second time around. His voice was much louder than the first. Jerson looked at Vishnu with widened eyes. He seemed to be more surprised than before. “Are you trying to fool me?” he asked suspiciously. There’s no way in hell that Vishnu asked him to be his boyfriend, right? They are both men and Vishnu isn’t gay, or is he?Vishnu smiled. “I’m serious, Cara,” Vishnu answered.Jerson pressed his lips. He didn’t answer Vishnu’s question as he was confused too, not by the query but by what he was feeling at the moment. He was excited and scared. He wanted to say yes but something just didn't feel right. Something was holding him on.When the personnel assigned to the counter said, “Next,” he hastily strolled near the counter and put all of the packaged food and drinks on the countertop.
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: Memory and Pain
“There’s no doubt that these two are best friends. They are both attacked in the same body part,” Valenn pointed out. “What’s with your buttocks? They are the valued prey of your enemies,” he added before chuckling. Alec, who was sitting on the hospital bed, raised his hand and gave Valenn a middle finger. “Should I murder this kid?” he asked and looked at Jerson who seemed to be in a daze. “Go on. You can cut his tongue before killing him if that suits your taste,” Jerson nonchalantly asserted while looking up. Ever since Jerson woke up, he was just staring at the canopy like he was living in his delusional world. He wasn’t reacting too much as if his mental capacity had been affected by the stab. Alec grazed his hair. There are only three of them inside the room. Alec looked at Jerson curiously. He tilted his head. Why does it feel like the old Jerson came back from the grave? “What is bothering you?” he asked. Jerson waved his han
