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
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: Pain From The Past
“Do you have a cigar?”Alec looked at Jerson and sighed. “Noah confiscated all of it saying it’s not good for my damn health,” he snorted. He then looked at the ceiling while relaxing his back on the comfy bed. “I thought you’re not smoking?”Jerson smirked while brushing his hair. “I just recalled that I tried smoking before all of this shit happened. It was great.”“And you told me you never did,” Alec said.Jerson rolled his eyes. “Because I thought I never did. What do you expect from someone who has selective amnesia?”Alec shrugged his shoulders. After a few minutes, he looked again at Jerson. “So, it’s true that you got your memories back? I thought you were just bluffing about it earlier.”“I ain’t a fan of clowns, Alec. I don’t do jokes,” Jerson declared.Alec sighed and waved a small box of cigarettes in the air that he kept under his bed. He tossed it over Jerson. “You got your memory back. Why are you not happy about it?”
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: Consistency and Constant
The man's fading figure had finally vanished. Jerson sighed in solace and got up out of his bed. He pulled out the medical apparatus that the nurse assembled in his hand. He massaged his aching buttocks before he started to keep and organize his things. He then looked at the empty bed and snorted in avarice. He was feeling envious. Alec was discharged yesterday while they were keeping him locked up inside the hospital room. What a waste of time!“You really don’t know how to listen.”Jerson looked back at Vishnu. He didn’t hear Vishnu get inside the room nor did he hear Vishnu’s footsteps. Vishnu walked like how assassins did. The prosecutor didn’t make any noise when he was approaching him. It was silent and disturbing.“If I were an ordinary person and an old man at that, I would probably die from a sudden heart attack because of you,” Jerson declared.Vishnu chuckled. “I’m sorry, Cara. Next time, I’ll make sure to knock first befo
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: The Ball
Jerson was worrying about his wound. His injury was hurting so terribly. He felt like it was piercing him deep down under his flesh. Though the pain was bearable, he was still worried that the pain would slow him down. He sighed in distress. He got the bottle of water placed below his seat. He then swallowed the water along with the three doses of painkillers. “Tell me if you feel like you’re going to pass out due to the pain. I’ll gladly help,” Alec said while buckling up. Jerson nodded. “Sure,” he answered.They were in the car along with Vishnu and Noah. The four of them wore a pair of suits. Vishnu and Jerson wore blue suits and gold neckties while Alec and Noah wore black suits with silver and a tinge of gold neckties. Their hair looked unkempt as it was messy and hot. Their lips stood flushed red. It was naturally alluring and attractive. Their eyes glittered along with the light. Vishnu and Noah’s blue eyes shone beautifully along w
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: A Companion?
Jerson ran out the hall without looking back. Vishnu and Leon were out of his sight since the time Leon dragged Vishnu. They were probably talking about something and based on their actions, it doesn’t concern him so he let them go. Jerson found it hard to accept the fact that he wasn’t the person that Vishnu needed. He was Vishnu’s lover‘s substitute and he enjoyed being the replacement. Anyone would think it was absurd. It was the worst experience anyone could ever experience, and he never expected it to be this bad. Jerson still couldn’t remember his lover or if he ever had one. Everything seemed surreal. If he was in love with Vishnu, why would he form a romantic relationship with someone else? Probably to move on? But he wasn’t the type to use someone for his own good. He wouldn’t use someone to fill in the void and wrap his scar. He was also confused about what his lover did when he ran away. Did he try to find him? Is he really de
