Aboard in a speed boat, Sanchez, and Ferran arrived at the young Leviste's luxurious yacht. Five men were wearing a white polo uniform for bodyguards. They didn't do anything, just stood where they were and watched the two until they neared the yacht.A man greeted them, "How may I help you, officers?""A young man reported a kidnapping and someone in your yacht was the alleged culprit who took a young lady named Blair Ferran," Sanchez asked in a tone of authority."We're not kidnapping a young lady, officer. Wait here, I'll just call our boss."After a while, Xol escorted the two policemen inside the yacht and they went straight to the dining area where Reevecus and Blair were waiting."Uncle!" She rushed towards her uncle."Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Blair just shook her head to answer Ferran who was very worried. "Let's go home." Ferran was about to pull her but Reevecus speaks."Why don't you join me at dinner? The food will just be a waste." Reevecus said, showing his boun
Weeks passed and every grade ten student was preparing for the upcoming event, exclusively for their year level only."Why did they just let us get ready for Prom Night?" Trestan's classmate complained."Yeah right. Examination before the party. Tss."He doesn't want to go but it is required and graded. He needed to attend the party for the sake of his grades. They are graduating students after all and he shouldnโt let his grades flop just because of that event.It's vacant time and the conversations inside the classroom are all about the Prom Night. His classmatesโ complaints were extremely annoying. Nothing will change even if they protest all day. To avoid those noises, he chose to go to the library to search for the book he needed for his studies.There were few students in the library when he arrived. Most of the students are just playing with their gadgets and not reading books. They just hang out in the library because it is air-conditioned.'Tss.' He hissed in his mind before
Examination dayโฆThe whole highschool building is in peace and silence. They were taking their last day semi-final exam for that year and when the bell rang, the students suddenly made noise. Some are glad to finish the last exam on time, others do not care if their answers are correct, as long as the exams are finally over, the others complain because they did not finish the exam and most of them just sighed in relief.Cally has no classes so Trestan just left her sister to their neighbor, Mrs. Santos. He was unlocking the bike when he noticed a famous and rich man, Mr. Reevecus Leviste waiting outside the school gate with flowers in his hand.Trestan creased his forehead and easily got annoyed. The young businessman gained attention from the students who were going outside the school, especially with the girls. Some of them took pictures with Leviste who is somehow approachable. Well, he has the looks, wealth, and brain so who doesn't like and want him? Only Blair Ferran."Who are
***The battle between the people against the government and policemen, who revolted in San Andres had finished. It was a miracle that Alfarez and Beltran survived. They thought it was their end but it's not. Some of their colleagues got severely injured and most of them died in the middle of the war.There are two military trucks but unfortunately, one of them was damaged and can no longer be used.The most severed comrades were the first who'll get home and will be taken to the hospital. Beltran is one of them but Alfarez seemed fine so he stayed on the battlefield with some of his colleagues with minor injuries like him."See you at San Lorenzo." He tapped Beltranโs shoulder and bid his goodbye."Y-Yeah. You'll treat me to an unlimited drink in the bar." Beltran slightly chuckled while enduring his wounds."You dumb*ss! You know that I don't drink. Tss." Beltran just laughed at him. As the military truck went far away from their camp, it unexpectedly exploded. "Beltran!"***He's
Blair sat in front of her parentsโ gravestones and stared at them for a moment.. "Hey! Mom, dad. I'm here again and with Trestan." Trestan looked at her while standing. "I miss you both."Trestan decided to sit beside her and silently, they appreciated the serenity of the surroundings. The wind gently blowing and whispering to them."You know what? Before they died, my mom wanted to know who is the lucky guy I like." She smiled but didn't reach her eyes. "I always regret that I did not tell them, especially since mommy wants to be the first to know about him."Trestan was stunned and looked away. Trestanโs Adam's apple moved up and down as he felt uneasiness. He wanted to ask her about it but who is he to do that?'Maybe, it is Darren, her classmate, or that businessman Leviste. Tss. Who cares? I don't care.' He said in his mind but deep inside, he felt annoyed."Do you want to know who it is?" Blair asked, looking at him and seeking his response."Iโm not interested.""Ahโฆ Okay." S
"Hi."She gently put her hands on his shoulder, and Trestan slowly held her waist to start swaying."You look... Different." Blair said."Different? Itโs still me, the one you always call mute." Trestan uttered while looking at her eyes. He talked to her as if they were just the only one in that place."I mean... Uhm... Y-Your attire, your hair, looks like it is not you.โ She stuttered a bit when Trestan talked to her so casually. โToo handsome and attractive." Blair described him and bit her lower lips to stop herself from smiling.He chuckled, "You compliment me too much but thank you though. You too.""Me what?""You look different.""Different?" She asked the same question."You always look boyish every time I see you biking but now..." He couldnโt stop himself from smiling that automatically made Blair blush. "You dressed like a real young lady." He laughed slightly."You comfortably talk to me.""Someone advised me to talk more often but if you don't want me to---""No. No. I m
Reevecus Asyl Ferran.Ferranโs eyes widened and shock was visible in his eyes as he read the words.'Simeon probably knew about this. Levistes is a family friend of Ferrans.' He was analyzing it inside his mind."Did Simon know about this too?" He asked himself."Uncle, I'm ho---what are you doing? And what was that?" Blair suddenly entered his room so he immediately put the letters and photos inside the black box and closed it before Blair could see what he saw."Nothing!โ Her sudden appearance almost gave him a mini heart attack. โJust... Uhm... Important stuff at work.""Ah.โ She looked at the box her uncle was holding before looking back at Ferran. โBy the way, Trestan and I will study at their house. Is it fine to go there?""Yeah." Ferran immediately agreed. "Sure. No problem. Just be careful.""Nice. Thanks!"Ferran sighed when Blair got outside his room. She seems unaware. He has a strong hunch that Blair does not have any idea that she has a brother, especially on the day Ree
Ferran just arrived at his house and he was confused because there is no light in the whole house. That means one thing. "Blair? Blair? Blair!" He immediately went inside and turned on the lights. Everything is in order. Nothing suspicious inside. He proceeded to the rooms and checked if Blair was there. "Blair? Blair! Where are you?" He felt nervous when he could not see Blair at home. She did not leave any message when he checked on his phone, so he tried to call her. It rings but not picking it up."She's not answering. Sh*t." He locked the door and left his house to find her. She tried calling her again until someone answered it."Hey, Blair! Where---""Uncle, it's me. Asyl." Ferran got silent when he heard the voice from the other line. "She's with me."โAsyl? Reevecus Asyl Leviste?โ His forehead creased. โWhy is she with him at this hour?โ"Why is she with you?""You forgot?โ He sounds disappointed. โIt's my day.""Oh? It's---oh yeah, I forgot. Sorry. Happy birthday." He acts
March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passedโฆโWhere are you going, dad?โโIโll just visit someoneโฆ itโs been a while.โ He said before leaving their house. The sun rose already and the streets of San Lorenzo came back into life.With an open window, Timotheus felt the morning breeze. He was greeted by the neighborhood. On his way to his destination, he passed by a flower shop. โGood morning, officer! Youโre at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.โA white bouquet of gerbera flowers caught his attention. He immediately put it beside the passenger seat. He stared at the flowers for a second before starting the engine.It was a peaceful drive not until he noticed a commotion in the middle of the road.โAgain?โ He parked his car at the side of the road.โYou f*cking j*rk! Youโre the one who bumped into my car! Look!โโWhat? Iโm just passing by and youโreโโโExcuse me? What is this all about?โ Timotheus asked while checking the damages.โWho are you?โ One of them
โ...Kuya.โ Julsen slowly closed his eyes before his ghost left him.โJ-Julsenโฆ Hey, man. Wake up. Julsen!โThe night became silent after that bloody encounter. A lot of bodies were lying on the groundโฆ lifeless.Timotheus carefully let him go and looked at the blood in his hand. She clenched his fist and rushed to Danryll to give him a hard blow. Danryll didnโt bother to dodge his attack and just let him.โHow could you?!โโSir, stop it!โ Xol went in between to stop Timotheus while Ferran, on the other hand, just watched them because the unusual feeling of pain was forming inside him again.โI will never regret it!โโHow will you prove that he really killed the doctor? Huh? You donโt haveโโโOf courseโฆ I have.โ Danryll threw him his phone that was immediately caught by Timotheus. He watched the entire video and Julsen really killed Dr. De Vega inside the laboratory. He unconsciously dropped the phone astounded.โY-You think you all s-succeed? Even if you revealed them to the whole wor
The Chief just arrived at the place where the real Boss was living. Instead of welcoming him, everyone inside pointed their guns at him. โWhat the hell is happening?!โ His eyes widened when he saw the real Boss furiously looking at him, as if he wanted to kill him from that very moment. โYou son of a b*tch! How dare you destroy the laboratory without my consent?!โ The real Boss held the collar of Chiefโs clothes and tightened his grip. โEverything will not go according to plan if I don't do it, Boss.โ Fear was visible to his eyes. The real Boss is the only one he afraids of. No one but him. โYou killed Maria! And my granddaughterโฆ my precious granddaughter!โ He was shaking with anger and slowly choking the Chief. โI thought Callyโs your only g-granddaughter? Ugh! I just did it to reach our goal. To produce a cureโโ He was cut off when he felt the need for air. โYou thoughtโฆ Hah! I donโt care about that damn goal! As long as my familyโs not involved, youโre free to do anything but
โAs Iโve thoughtโฆ Got it.โCzaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letterโs too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision. She could easily read the characters unlike the others inside that special room.โR-O-M-12:12โ12|13|14|15 II-C-O-R-4:10โ31|32|33|34|35 J-O-H-N-3:16โ17|18|19|20|214_2_3_5_5โฆ Thatโs all.โ Blair creased her forehead, not recognizing what the code was telling.Czaquira tried to type it all but itโs too long for a passcode. โFourteen charactersโฆ We only need fourteen characters.โ Czaquira uttered.โNoโฆ itโs nineteen, I guess?โ Xol confusedly said.Minutes after minutesโฆ an hour and ten minutes left. In the middle of the brainstorming on how to decipher the code, Timotheus' phone rang.โAquiro,โ Timotheus said, hoping for good news. โReally? Oh Godโฆ thank goodness.โโHowโs the search, sir?โ Xol asked, hoping for good news.โThey found him andโฆโ He looked at Blair who was about to cry. โHeโs alive.โBlairโs kn
โTrestanโฆ Heโs alive!โ Aquiro wiped his tears and went beside Trestanโs bed.โItโs a miracle that heโs still alive after that fall.โ The street sweeper spoke before he sipped his hot coffee.โYouโre the one who helped him?โ Aquiro asked.The man just nodded and put the empty cup on the table near him.โHe needs a long rest. I should leave. Take care of him.โโMay I know your name, mister?โ Aquiro stopped him for a moment.โNo need.โ He tapped his shoulder before leaving.โSh*tโฆ so itโs true. Heโs alive. Thank goodness.โ Ziph sighed in relief when he saw Trestan lying on the bed unconscious.โDamn you, cousโ. You scared us. We thoughtโฆโโStop being a crybaby, Aquiro. Haha.โ Beor teased him.โF*ck you.โThey just laughed at Aquiroโs hilarious face. The laughter stopped when they heard Trestan speak.โCallyโฆโ He mumbled. โHey, Trestan! Do you hear me? Trestan.โ Aquiro slightly shook him. โCallyโฆ Cally!โ He suddenly woke up from that deep sleep. He groaned when he felt pain all over his
Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldnโt clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.โUgh!โ He almost got into an accident if he hadnโt stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy. โAlfarez! Alfarez!โ Real Ferranโs voice echoed inside his head.His heart pounded harder than the first one, as if his consciousness would leave him. Regardless of the frigidness of the atmosphere due to the rain, his body was heating up and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and neck. โH-Hahโฆ Hahโฆโ Ferranโs head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.***โItโs been a whileโฆ Timotheus Alfarez.โ The voice echoed everywhere.โThat voiceโฆ That voice!โ He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. โIโm here againโฆ Does it meanโฆโ He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.
โDanryll! We need to go. Somethingโs going on with the kids.โ Zyrille uttered after she got a call from Dylan. โDanryll!โโWhat?โ Danryll looked at her before he ended the call.โThe kidsโฆ we need to go to them.โโWhy?โ He stood up and they were walking and exiting the wrecked laboratory after they put Dr. De Vegaโs body in a safe space. Even if they wanted to, it is not the right time to mourn. There is a special mission they needed to accomplish.โDylan called andโฆ and he was crying. I donโt really understand what he was saying but all I understood was they were hiding from bad people.โโI thought they were safe where they were.โโI thought so too but it is not the case now.โ Zyrille checked on Julianna who was sleeping peacefully and soundly inside the van. โWe need to hurry or else, we might lose those innocent ones too.โDanryll sighed heavily before starting the engine. The place is not that far from Mrs. Santosโ house and the travel was quick because itโs night time and there i
โTrestan!โThe sound of the waves coming from the San Lorenzo sea and Trestanโs whimper were heard in the middle of the cold night. He was shot on his shoulder and itโs bleeding too much.โTrestanโฆโ Blair was weeping while trying to assist Trestan. Her hands were full of his blood but she didn't mind.โShhโฆ Donโt cry. Itโsโฆ nothing.โ He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but he couldnโt. The wound was too painful to bear.โGive me that young man!โ The Chief was forcefully pulling the briefcase which contained the cure.โNo!โ Trestan tightly hugged the briefcase while Blair did her best to defend him. She kicked the Chiefโs ass and gave him punches but still, itโs not enough. Blair even received a hard blow from the man that made her weak.โA-Ah!โ Trestan cried out of pain when the CHief choked him to death.โT-Trestanโฆโ Blair mumbled while watching her lover crying because of pain but she couldnโt do anything but to watch him suffer. She canโt move an inch.The Chief pushed him
โOh my gosh!!โ Blair covered her ears as they heard the explosion coming from the surface. It slightly shook the place because of its great impact. โDr. De Vega!โTrestan put his hand on her mouth and strongly shook his head to stop her from running back to the laboratory. He then pulled her again because at any time, the enemies might track them as soon as they learned about the tunnel underneath.Rain was heavily pouring when they reached the exit. They unhesitatingly entered the dark and vast forest even though they already knew what danger was waiting for them.The ground became muddy and slippery that made it difficult for them to run faster. Trestan tightly held Blairโs hand while running for their lives because unfortunately, they encountered fake hunters on their way out. One of Blairโs feet slipped and she almost fell into the pit where the organization disposed of the dead organisms from their failed experiment.โBlair! Sh*tโฆ Careful! Letโs go.โ Trestan was tired but he just
