Mag-log in[PAOLA POV]
"Lucas," bulong ko, ang pangalan ay lumabas na parang acid sa dila ko.
"Hindi ka pala kasing-talino ng inaakala mo, ha?" Ungol niya, ang boses ay puno ng venom, at diniin pa lalo ang baril sa leeg ko. Ang mala
[The Third Move]Paola’s POV~~~“I never thought someone else could corner us faster than Gabriel ever could.”The first words I mutter to myself are when the office door clicks open behind us.I glance at Gabriel. His jaw is tight. His hand brushes against mine—almost unconsciously—but it’s enough to anchor me for a moment.We freeze.Because the figure stepping into the lobby isn’t part of any routine board check or assistant shuffle.It’s her.Catherine Alcantara—the niece I never liked and wh
[The Move They Didn’t Warn Us About]Paola’s POV“They’ve been waiting for us to make a mistake—and I almost did.”The words hit me before my coffee even cools.I sit at my temporary apartment table, staring at my laptop, fingers hovering over the keyboard like I’m about to commit a crime.An email popped in last night, no sender name, no signature—just a PDF attachment.The headline alone made my chest constrict: Confidential: Alcantara Trust Clause Execution Plan.I didn’t open it immediately. I paced the room instead, feeling
[The Edge of Everything]Paola’s POV“He doesn’t know how close I’ve been to leaving—and maybe that’s exactly why I stayed.”The thought hits me the moment I wake up.I lie still, staring at the ceiling of my temporary apartment.No one else here.No calls.No footsteps echoing through the hall.Just silence.And that silence—heavy, tangible—feels different than before.It’s not comforting.
[The Things I Didn’t Want to Remember]Paola’s POV“If my past is where he thinks I’ll break… then he doesn’t understand why I survived it.”The message stays in my head long after the screen goes dark.Check your past before you protect your future.It’s not just a threat.Its direction.And I hate that it works.Because now I’m thinking about things I buried on purpose.Not forgotten.Just… controlled.
[The Cost of Being Unafraid]Paola’s POV“The moment I stopped being afraid of losing him… I started becoming dangerous.”It doesn’t feel like freedom.It feels like clarity.The kind that strips everything down until there’s nothing left to hide behind.No excuses.No emotional safety nets.No illusions about what love is supposed to protect.I’m standing in front of the mirror when the thought settles fully.Not dramatic.
[The Version of Me He Created]Paola’s POV“I used to think control was his weapon. I didn’t realize he was teaching me how to use it.”The realization doesn’t feel like victory.It feels like something sharper.Something quieter.Because the more I understand what Gabriel did—what Adrian is doing—what this entire situation has turned into—The more I see it clearly.I didn’t just survive it.
Ang gabi ay hindi natapos sa isang tagumpay. Natapos ito sa isang nakatutulig na pagsabog na bumasag sa katahimikan ng liblib na highway patungo sa lungsod. Ang sasakyang minamaneho ni Kristoff Valdemar ay naging isang bolang apoy na tumalsik sa madilim na bangin.Sa loob ng ilang minuto, ang tangi
...continuation"Ang sarili ninyong sistema," sagot ni Kristoff. "Ang Orion ay itinayo sa pagtatraydor. Hindi ninyo ba naisip na ang mga tauhan ninyo ay mas takot sa akin kaysa sa inyo?"Hindi na nakasagot si Vera. Ang kanyang huling hininga ay hinalo sa usok ng nasusunog na pangarap ng Orion.Ang
Ang karagatan sa labas ng teritoryo ng Pilipinas ay tila isang malawak na kumot ng itim na pelus sa ilalim ng gabing walang bituin. Ang tanging ingay na maririnig ay ang mahinang paggurgur ng makina ng isang pasadyang stealth speedboat na humahati sa mga alon. Sa loob ng sasakyang ito, nakaupo si K
Ang putok ng baril ay umalingawngaw sa loob ng maliit na piitan, isang tunog na nagpatigil sa oras. Hindi tinamaan si Paola. Ang bala ni Kristoff ay eksaktong bumaon sa kanang balikat ni Tristan, dahilan upang mabitawan nito ang kutsilyo at mapaluhod sa tindi ng sakit.“Argh! Hayop ka, Kristoff!” s
