MasukLiliana’s Point of ViewI had finally arrived in Switzerland.The moment I stepped out of the plane and into Zurich Airport, a cold breeze immediately wrapped around me. It was sharp, unfamiliar, and enough to make me instinctively hug myself.It was freezing.Good thing I had already bought a coat back in Singapore during my layover. The trip here had been long, with connecting flights that drained both my body and mind. I had also taken the chance to buy new clothes and even a suitcase there.A fresh start.That was what I told myself.I slowly exhaled, watching the faint mist form in front of my lips before it disappeared into the air.Then I looked down at my phone.Someone was waiting for me.My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before I pressed call.It didn’t even ring long.“Hello, baby Liliana?”A small smile formed on my lips the moment I heard his voice.“Uncle Grandpa, I’m already here. I just got off the plane and picked up my luggage. Where can I find you? Thi
3rd Person’s Point of ViewAsher could not sit still.Ever since his call with Liliana the day before, something had been weighing heavily on his chest. A quiet unease had settled deep within him, growing stronger with every passing hour.After that call, he had tried reaching her again.And again.And again.But she never answered.Now that he had finally arrived in the Philippines, he continued calling her, his patience slowly wearing thin. Each unanswered call only made his heart beat faster, louder, more restless.Something was wrong.He could feel it.He leaned his head back against the seat and glanced out the window, his jaw tightening. He still had not explained anything to her. Not about Josephine. Not about what she might have misunderstood.Yesterday had been chaos. There had been trouble, something that demanded his full attention, leaving him no time to think clearly. Even now, the wounds on his body still ached, but he ignored them.None of it mattered.All he wanted was
Liliana’s Point of ViewI was finally back in the Philippines.The moment I stepped inside the mansion, a strange silence wrapped around me. It felt familiar, yet distant, as if I no longer belonged here the way I once did.Without wasting time, I walked straight to the bedroom.Each step felt heavier than the last.When I reached the cabinet, I knelt down and reached underneath it, my fingers brushing against something hidden deep within.I pulled it out.An envelope.I already knew what was inside.My hands trembled slightly as I stared at it.The divorce papers.A quiet sigh escaped my lips as I slowly sat on the edge of the bed, my eyes fixed on the envelope resting in my hands.Then I noticed something.A small drop of water landed on its surface.I froze.It took me a second to realize that the tears had already fallen from my eyes.I quickly wiped them away, forcing myself to breathe.This had already been prepared by Zephyr, along with the contract.I knew the contract wasn’t
Liliana’s Point of ViewEverything was ready.Our things had already been packed, neatly arranged as if this were just another ordinary trip. But deep inside, I knew it wasn’t. This wasn’t just leaving for a while.This was goodbye.Asher stayed close beside me as we walked down the stairs, his hand lightly supporting me, as if I might fall at any moment. His touch was gentle, careful, almost fragile.I let my gaze wander.Slowly, I looked around the mansion.Every corner. Every detail. Every memory.I wanted to take everything in one last time.Because I knew… I would never come back here again.“Are you sure you’ll be okay?” Asher asked softly.I nodded without hesitation, even though the truth felt heavier than my words.“I’m fine. I think I just got homesick. I just want to go home,” I said, keeping my voice steady.He nodded slowly, then pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead.But I didn’t look at him.I kept my eyes forward as we continued walking, until we reached the bottom of t
3rd Person’s Point of ViewThey rushed forward without stopping, their footsteps echoing against the cold ground as they reached the building. The moment they entered, a heavy silence greeted them. Bodies of unconscious men were scattered across the floor, unmoving, as if a storm had passed through and left nothing but destruction behind.“Damn… looks like someone really took them all down,” Jack said, disbelief evident in his voice as his eyes scanned the scene.There was no time to dwell on it. Whoever did this was still out there.“Make sure my wife is safe. Search the area,” Asher ordered, his tone sharp and commanding.“Yes, boss.”His men immediately spread out, moving with precision as they began searching every corner of the building.“Find Maeve inside,” Theo added.“Yes, boss.”Theo’s men followed suit, rushing in to assist.For a brief moment, Theo and Asher locked eyes, tension thick between them. There was history there, something unresolved, something dangerous. But befo
Liliana’s Point of View"I swallowed hard as I looked around the place they had taken me to."The air felt wrong. Too clean. Too cold. Too quiet.My steps slowed as realization sank in."A laboratory."My chest tightened painfully."What are you going to do to me in the laboratory"My voice came out softer than I expected, but it still echoed faintly against the walls."Experiment"That single word made my stomach twist.I swallowed again, fear slowly creeping into my veins as we continued walking until we reached a chair placed at the center of the room.It looked simple.But it felt like a trap."Sit down"I hesitated.But I knew I had no choice.Slowly, I obeyed.The moment I sat down, my eyes drifted to the side.Then I saw them.My eyes widened.Syringes.Different sizes. Different liquids.My breathing grew uneven."Wait… does that mean they are going to inject anything into me""Doctor, are you going to inject that into me""Yes"My heart pounded violently."No way"I raised my
Liliana’s Point of View I stepped out of the car on my own and drew a deep breath while staring up at the sleek façade of the company building. Please, I prayed silently, let me get through the day without running into any of them—any of the three. I swiped my ID at the turnstile and winced. That
Liliana’s Point of View I clapped a hand over my mouth. “I already tasted that,” he murmured. “I was unconscious. I don’t remember a thing,” I shot back. Asher eased closer until our noses almost brushed. “Want me to remind you?” My eyes went wide. I shoved his face away. “N‑No, thanks!” He c
Liliana’s Point of View I swallowed hard. Calling my boss a servant suddenly felt ridiculous. “N‑Never mind,” I muttered, drying my hands. “Let’s just go.” Before I could step away, Asher planted one hand on the wall, caging me. His face hovered inches from mine. “You still haven’t answered my q
Liliana’s Point of View Jack and I had claimed the rooftop as our new lunch spot. We spread out our lunch boxes on the low parapet wall and let the breeze cut through the heat. “Everything you make looks delicious—and you even packed dessert,” Jack said between bites. “Did you cook all of this you
