Crimson's Game 046: Lights, Camera, Action!
Knythe's POVIt was quarter to 9:00 pm already and the party will start at 9:30. Still, no sign of Crimson!Kaya ako nauna ay dahil akala ko pwede na pumasok, ngunit pagpunta ko rito, ang naging bungad sa akin ay,flashback...“You're here alone, Sir?”“Uh, no. I'm waiting for my partner.”“I'm afraid you can't come in without an assistance. The Director ordered us to be strict because we are tallying the numbers of guests.”“But, she'll be here soon. Can't I come in?”“You'll gonna have to wait on the lounge, Sir.”end of flashback...“Damn it, Elle. Where are you?” Pabulong na tanong ko sa aking sarili. I stood confidently, exchanging smiles towards the other guests.This is my way of coping up. If I sat on the lounge while fidgeting with my phone, it'll make me look like I lack self confidence. And that's the last thing I want right now.“Thyne?” A voice called out to me. ‘Great, just when I thought this day could get any luckier.’ Nilingon ko siya at bahagyang ngumiti.“Good evenin
Crimson's Game 047: I Regretted Looking
Crimson's POVEver since the scene Knythe caused at the lounging area, I never escaped Gideon's eyes on me. Nasa iisang lamesa kaming walo. I was sitting beside Knythe, and beside him sat Ethan. Kasunod si Hanako, si Hellios, Vyel. Gideon was beside her. At 'yong impaktang Stella. Nakapaikot kami sa lamesa kaya katabi ko siya.‘Kapag minamalas ka nga naman. Lintek na 'yan.’Pasimple akong tumingin sa gilid at 'yon na naman ang mga sulyap ni Gideon. His eyes were like communicating with mine, saying I should've chose him.I took a deep breath and faced the stage properly. ‘Calm down, Elle. Don't think of him. He's with her now.’Naramdaman ata ni Knythe na hindi ako mapakali. He leaned down and whispered, “what's bothering you?”“I'm fine.” Bulong ko pabalik.“Hungry?”“I ate before leaving.” I lied.“Hmm, we'll grab something later.” He replied. I looked at him and he smiled. “Late ka na umalis ng Legion, and you always eat on time. Don't lie to me, next time.”I chuckled softly. “Fine
Crimson's Game 048: Was It Really There To Start With?
Crimson's POV“At this very moment, I would like you all to remember, that without you, this Legion will fall. No king succeeds without a kingdom to protect. No kingdom will remain standing without knights who protects. I will fall, without my allies. Tonight happened because you made it happen. It has been a pleasure, serving with you, my fellow warriors.” Masiglang sigaw ng Director. Nagsitanguan naman ang mga tao sa paligid namin habang may iilan na palakpak at hiyaw mula sa mga manonood.“Let us all enjoy the rest of this evening, ladies and gentlemen. Have a good night!” Pagtatapos niya.The crowd gave him a round of warm applause, they cheered and stood up as they greet the Director, one by one.The rest of the party went well but I'm starting to feel really bored. I yawned before looking around, observing those folk on the aisle. Naiwan kaming mga babae sa table habang nasa pulungan ang mga lalaki. I looked over the table where the men gathered. The Director laughed as he patted
Crimson's Game 049: The Devil's Den
Crimson's POVI sniffed and fixed myself up. When I got out of the restroom, I was surprised to see Hellios waiting for me at the table.“Nasaan sila?” Nagtatakang tanong ko. He stood up, his right hand inside his pocket.“They're waiting for us, come on.” Nauna na siyang maglakad. I followed him and looked around.‘Gaano ba ako katagal sa banyo at parang nangalahati ang dami ng tao?’“Crimson, going home?” Tanong ng Director sa akin. I looked at Hellios to ask him where we're headed but the Director intervened. “Oh, you're with Hellios. Enjoy the evening, dear.” Ngumiti siya at naglakad na palayo.“What the heck?” I cursed.Hellios chuckled. “I know, nakakapanibago siya makitungo. Kumpara kasi noon ay mas madami ang bisita natin ngayon. Which means there are more eyes to please. Look at his eyes.”Tinignan ko ang mga mata ni Director at nag-obserba.“His actions speaks for his desires, for his eyes tells his intentions.”At totoo ang sinabi niya. Now, I can see the difference. He's th
Crimson's Game 050: I'm Not Drunk, Just Tipsy
Crimson's POV“Gideon took you here?” Paglilinaw ni Stella. “Gideon, as in my fiancé?”“Tss, may iba pa ba namang Gideon? Yes, your fiancé took me here. He owns this club!” Nakakunot ang noong saad ko. I tilted my head. "You didn't tell her?" I turned to Gideon and asked him. Wala ni isa sa kanila ang nagsalita.I groaned and shook my head. I feel hot. I stood up.“Oh? Saan ka na naman pupunta?” Nakakunot ang noo na tanong ni Knythe.“I'm gonna go get some air! Don't follow me.” Sagot ko at bumaba. Palabas na sana ako nang may humila sa akin.He grabbed me towards the dance floor. It all happened so fast, I didn't even see his face. He was behind me as he placed his hands on my waist. He swayed my hips together with his.And I found myself dancing with a stranger. I don't know what took over my body. I pressed myself on him making him groan.“You're a great dancer.” He whispered then bit my ear softly. He gripped on my waist, caressing it. I faced him and wrapped my arms around his nap
Crimson's Game 051: Don't Slip Away
Gideon's POVI stood by the railings and watched how Elle laughed with Knythe. I gripped on the glass of rum I am holding when I saw him pull her into a hug.All that has happened, all the years I spent to find her, bursted like a bubble. Those kisses we shared. Those new memories I made with her, can I take it back?Can I go back to those times? When I finally got the chance to hold her? Hug her. Feel her warm embrace.I've waited so long to be with her again, only to be parted.I'm only a few steps away from her, yet, feels so far away. I can't reach her now.“Oh, to see her in someone else's arms breaks my heart.” Stella popped out from nowhere and dramatically spouted those words. She stood beside me, leaning herself on the railings. I placed my left hand inside my pocket before averting my gaze from Elle.I cleared my throat before sipping on my rum.“You never told me you brought her here before.”“I wasn't informed that you had to know.” I scoffed.“I deserve to know.”“Why? Ano
Crimson's Game 052: I'm Not Eliora
Aristella's POVHindi na ako nakapagsalita pa nang maglakad palayo sa akin si Gideon. I gritted my teeth and looked away. What was so special with her? Hindi ko siya maintindihan. And why does she look so familiar?“Well that must hurt.” Biglang may nagsalita sa likod ko. I rubbed my eyes and turned to face him. He had the usual expression on his face. Tinitigan ko lang siya at sinubukan siyang pag-aralan.“What?” Hellios asked, probably wondering why I was staring. Hindi ko siya sinagot at nilagpasan siya. “How long are you going to avoid me, Stella?”I stopped and sighed. “Just let me be for now, Chaos.”“I wanna know why you're here. Anong balak mo sa Legion? Anong balak niyo ni Gideon?” Tanong niyang muli.“I didn't know you worked for him.” I answered, pertaining to the Director.Ramdam ko ang paglapit niya sa akin. He stopped in front me, placing his hands softly on my chin, making me look up. “I won't meddle with your business,” he uttered. “But,” he paused before looking strai
Crimson's Game 053: No Debts Left Unpaid
Aristella's POVflashback...“Uh, Thyne, could you give us some time?”The guy bowed when Gideon dismissed him. Nang makaalis na 'yong lalaki ay saka lamang humarap sa akin si Gideon. I sat on his table.“What's taking you so long to get the info, Gideon?” Kunot-noong tanong ko sa kaniya. He sighed deeply.“What the hell are you doing here?”“I'm here to help you do your job since you seem like you can't manage it yourself.”“I don't need a headache, Aristella. Go back to the rest house.”“No, I won't leave here without you.” Pagmamatigas ko. I saw a figure outside the door. Bubog kasi ang pinto ng office niya ngunit hindi malinaw.“That's it, I'll call Aeolius.” He started dialing on his phone. Nang makita kong gumalaw ang doorknob ay hinila ko palapit si Gideon at mariin siyang hinálikan sa labi.He tried to push me but I hugged him tighter, wrapping my legs around his waist. Humawak siya sa hita ko upang ilayo ang sarili sa akin.When I heard a soft chuckle, I intentionally parted m
