CHAPTER 45: The Bullet That Chose Us

“Narinig ko ang putok—pero ang mas kinatakutan ko… kung sino sa amin ang tinamaan.”

Isang segundo.

Isang maling galaw.

Isang desisyon na hindi na mababawi.

Sumabog ang mundo sa paligid ko.

Putok ng baril. Sigawan. Kaguluhan.

At pagkatapos—

katahimikan.

Hindi ko agad naramdaman kung saan tumama ang bala.

Hindi ko alam kung buhay pa ba ako.

Kung buhay pa ba siya.

“Freya!”

Boses niya.

Galit.

Takot.

Wasak.

Doon ko lang naramdaman—ang sakit.

Napasinghap ako.

  • THE MAFIA KING'S DANGEROUS OBSESSION   Chapter 167

    CHAPTER 167 – “We Think the Same Now”“Hindi na kami nag-uusap para magkaintindihan.”“Dahil alam na namin ang susunod na sasabihin ng isa’t isa.”At doon ko unang na-realize na hindi na pala kami dalawang tao.Isa na lang.Gumising ako sa kama na malamig ang gilid.Hindi empty.Hindi dahil wala siya.Kundi dahil alam ko kung nasaan siya kahit hindi ko siya nakikita.

  • THE MAFIA KING'S DANGEROUS OBSESSION   Chapter 166

    CHAPTER 166 – I FORGOT WHO I WAS BEFORE YOU“If I only exist when I’m with you…”“Then who am I when I’m alone?”Hindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimulang maging tahimik ang lahat.Hindi yung paligid.Kundi ako.Yung klase ng tahimik na hindi mo napapansin agad, hanggang sa mapansin mong wala ka nang iniisip na hindi siya kasali.Si Torren.Palagi si Torren.Hindi lang sa presensya niya.Kundi pati sa absence niya—parang may naiwan siyang imprint sa utak ko na hindi na kayang burahin ng kahit anong distansya.Nakahiga ako sa kama.Mag-isa.Pero hindi talaga mag-isa.Dahil kahit wala siya sa tabi ko, parang alam pa rin ng katawan ko kung nasaan siya.Nakakatawa.Nakakatakot.Dahan-dahan akong bumangon.Hinilot ko ang sentido ko.“Freya ka pa ba?” bulong ko sa sarili.Walang sumagot.Pero may mas malala pa doon.May part sa loob ko na hindi na nagulat sa katahimikan.Parang sanay na siya.Parang matagal na siyang wala.Tumayo ako at naglakad papunta sa mirror.Do’n ako tumigil.Matagal.Tin

    CHAPTER 165 – THE PROMISE WE NEVER SAID“Some promises aren’t spoken.”“They’re alive.”I woke up before him.That alone felt strange.For as long as I could remember, Torren Villanueva was always the first presence I felt before I even opened my eyes.Not because he woke me.Because my body already knew where he was.Breathing beside me.Existing near me.Anchoring the space around me like gravity itself.But this morning was different.The bed beside me was still warm.Not empty.Just… recently left.A trace.A hesitation.Like he had been there a moment ago and didn’t want to leave completely.My fingers moved instinctively across the sheets.Slow.Searching.As if touch alone could explain absence.That was when I heard it.Footsteps outside the room.Not rushed.Not urgent.Just… steady.Controlled.Familiar.Torren.I didn’t move.I just listened.The door didn’t open immediately.He paused outside.As if he was waiting.For what, I didn’t know.Permission?Timing?Or maybe some

    CHAPTER 164 – WHAT IF WE HEAL?"The most frightening possibility wasn't losing him.""It was healing enough to stop needing him."I couldn't stop thinking about it.Not the folder.Not the house.Not even the future Torren had apparently been planning long before I entered his life.No.It was something much worse.Something quieter.Something that settled inside my chest and refused to leave.A question.One dangerous question.What happens if we heal?The thought arrived unexpectedly.And once it did, I couldn't force it away.Because for years, every part of our relationship had been built inside destruction.Pain.Loss.Fear.Violence.Survival.Every moment that brought us together had been forged under pressure.Every confession had happened after the tragedy.Every step closer had happened because the world kept trying to tear us apart.But now?The empire was stable.The chaos had slowed.The constant threats had faded into distant noise.And for the first time...There was sp

    CHAPTER 163 – THE LIFE WE NEVER PLANNED“Nobody taught us how to live.”“Only how to survive.”The realization hit me harder than any bullet ever had.Not because it was new.Because it was true.For years, survival had been the only language I understood.Run.Fight.Hide.Adapt.Endure.Everything else had always felt temporary.Even happiness.Especially happiness.Because happiness was fragile.And fragile things never survived in our world.Yet somehow, standing inside one of Torren Villanueva’s private estates overlooking an endless stretch of ocean, I found myself staring at proof that shattered everything I thought I knew about him.The house was quiet.Too quiet.No guards walking nearby.No emergency meetings.No gunfire in the distance.No chaos demanding our attention.Just silence.The kind of silence that forced people to confront themselves.I hated that kind of silence.Because silence gave memories room to breathe.And memories were dangerous.I walked slowly through

    CHAPTER 162 – “The Things Forever Requires”“Forever sounds romantic.”“Until you realize… it demands everything you tried to keep for yourself.”I didn’t realize I was holding my breath until Torren finally closed the door behind him.Not loudly.Not dramatically.Just… final.And that was the problem.Everything about him lately felt final.Like he wasn’t entering my life anymore—he was settling inside it.Permanent.Irreversible.Dangerous in a way bullets never were.I stayed seated on the edge of the bed, staring at the empty space he just left. The room still smelled like him—cologne, leather, and something heavier I couldn’t name. Something that clung to me more than it should’ve.Forever.The word echoed again.And again.Until it stopped sounding like love.And started sounding like a sentence.He came back after midnight.No gunfire.No emergency calls.No empire collapsing in the background like usual.Just silence.That was new.Torren didn’t announce himself. I felt him

    CHAPTER 111 – “You Were Never Free… Were You?”“The scariest part wasn’t that he lied… it was that he might’ve never had a choice.”Hindi ako nakatulog buong gabi.Paulit-ulit sa utak ko ang mga mata ni Torren.Hindi malamig.Hindi galit.Pagod.Parang isang taong matagal nang lumulubog pero walang
