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 befoRelated chapters
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
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: The Keeper
A loud gunshot dominates the whole building, making the crowd panic. Every guest started running, banging on each other’s shoulders. Fear could be seen in the way they cope with the situation. Nevertheless, Jerson stood still beside the table, intending not to join the occurring chaos.When most of the guests exited the main hall, Jerson slowly walked towards the nearest wall and laid his back on it. He calmly listened to Noah, who was smartly explaining the sudden change of plans. “Are we clear, Jerson?” Noah asked after he deliberately explained the whole strategy.Jerson pressed his lips. “Yes,” he answered instantly. He then sighed and bit his tongue. He was told to be on the lookout while the others were going on a dangerous mission. Jerson wasn't dumb to not know that it was because of his bleeding buttocks. He was okay since the painkillers were working just fine but they were all overreacting and said that a patient should stay out
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: Avialanché
“Did you say Derrick?” Jerson nodded even though he knew Noah wouldn’t be able to see it. “Yes, that’s correct,” he answered. “Fuck! Wait for us there!” Noah commanded before he heard a few curses from Noah again. Jerson sighed and laid his back on the wall again. He examined the whole notebook before he decided to see what was inside. He was really curious about whose name was written on it. The first few pages were about the known mafia in different cities. They are all buying illegal goods almost every day, luckily, they are staying low because of the treaty signed between all mafias and the consequences of infringement of territory. Even criminals know this kind of covenant. The peaceful days reigned when they all agreed to sign the treaty. After he turned some pages, the title of a crumpled page caught his attention. A smudge tint of ink from a black sign pen engraved, CLIENTES ESCLAVOS on top of the pag
Clandestine Affair THE LEDGER: He Killed Your Lover
Jerson chuckled as he raised his hand and gave the people in the rival’s car a middle finger which made those people grimace. A person who felt very agitated pointed a gun at him so he immediately bent his body to avoid getting hit using the metal of the car as a shield.Van turned the steering wheel of the car to the left again, hitting Avialanché’s car. As the people in the opponent's car were too distracted by the pressure that Van had made, Jerson pointed the gun at the tires of the car and hit them. Jerson snickered triumphantly when he hit the tires making it blast. The driver lost control over the car. “You seemed to be enjoying this,” Vishnu pointed out. “Yes. And so? What will you do?” Jerson asked. Vishnu smiled genuinely. “I won’t do anything unless you hurt yourself. You should stay away from threats, Cara,” he said. Jerson smiled with wry amusement. ‘I doubt that,’ he thought. ‘If you remember who
Clandestine Affair AVIALANCHÉ: Parting Ways
“You don’t have to do this, Jerson,” Alec said. Jerson signed the last document before handing it over to Noah. “Don’t try to stop him, Alec. Let him do whatever he wants. It’s nice seeing him running away again,” Noah declared. Jerson sighed in annoyance. He didn’t know if it was just him or Noah was really overreacting. All of them were blowing-out-of-proportion actually, but Noah was the only one who was annoyingly countering everything he does. Noah was acting like everything he’d do will only make trouble. “I’d appreciate it if you shut your mouth, Mr. de Oliveira,” Jerson calmly said. “You keep running your damned mouth everytime unnecessary. Why don’t you shut it for a second so I’d appreciate you coming here?”“Watch your mouth! I am still your su—”“I just signed the termination of the contract. We aren’t comrades anymore. We’re basically no more than strangers,” Jerson nonchalantly said
Clandestine Affair AVIALANCHÉ: Reasons For The Bad Deeds I
Jerson stayed in his apartment for a few weeks without going out. He was surfing the web, looking for updates from the outside world, and examining the whole situation through the city’s CCTV. After the masquerade ball, and the firing and exchanging of bullets between them and the people of Avialanché, the police operated an investigation. They also hired a detective, and Leon was the one who got the case, hence, they managed to conceal their identity. The Avialanché managed to clean their mess and deleted the footage, making Jerson’s work easier. The Law Academy that General Kio established was taken over by Jerson’s grandfather. After the whole issue was solved, the whole operating system of the Academy changed. The teachers who were considered the accessory to the crime were charged with aiding and abetting and were punished accordingly. General Kio was reprimanded with the “Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002” by the court according to REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9165.
Clandestine Affair AVIALANCHÉ: Reasons For The Bad Deeds II
Jerson agreed. They don’t know who their comrades were and who will stab them in the back. Having a devoted compatriot is a rare thing to find. One would not limit himself from the things he knew he could not gain anything from and would resort to deception and betrayal. That’s why betrayal is an impending choice. Greed would lead to deception and that innate emotion would take over someone if that person was shown the things he yearned for. You really can’t trust anyone aside from yourself. “I have a lot to say,” Harvey said and chuckled. Jerson looked at Harvey. “I know a café near this supermarket,” he declared which made Harvey look at him in amusement. “Do you trust people that easily?” Harvey asked.“Inviting someone for a coffee is just a form of commendation and not more than that. Let’s not get our hopes up, alright?”Harvey chuckled. He dragged the cart and walked beside Jerson. “Should
