WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SCENES OF TORTURE AND MURDER!!! VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!!᯽-(AXZIE GENEVIEVE FORSYTHE POV)--❥-I was awoken to the sun shining in my face, causing me to cover it with a blanket.Naramdaman ko rin na wala akong katabi so I got up, rubbing my eyes only to see myself in the room. No Kaji in sight…Tumayo na ako and wore my high heeled boots, combing my hair but still trying to find where the bathroom is.Siguro sa kitchen nalang ako mag hihilamos, pwede naman siguro yun…I opened the bedroom door at tumambad sakin ang hinahanap ko, blood splattered on his neck and hands."Napano ka?" I asked, worry was lingering in my mind.Hindi sumagot ito at basta na lang pumasok sa kwarto, heading inside on one of the doors.So ayun pala ang banyo, shuta…I closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed, the sound of water running means he's taking a shower.Grabbing my phone on the nightstand, nagscroll ako on social media as I wait. Then a message from Daddy p
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-ಢ‸ಢ Dali dali akong bumalik sa bahay ni Emy para kunin lahat ang mga gamit ko, nang makarating ako sa front door ay padabog kong binuksan yun.Ngunit, hindi ko siya makita. Saan na naman kayang lupalop pumunta? Pero ano bang pake ko?Dumiretso ako sa kwarto upang kunin lahat ang mga gamit ko, quickly spotting her on the edge of her bed as she faced the window.However, I didn't pay any attention to her. I just packed my stuff.After putting all of my stuff on the suitcase, I quickly changed my outfit into some sweater and joggers along with my sneakers.As I was about to head out, I heard her call my name."Ano?" I asked as I looked over to my shoulder."Talagang iiwanan mo na ako?" She asked, sadness was laced in her tone."Yan ang gusto mo eh, diba?" I asked nang humarap ako rito. "Pinipilit mong may relasyon kami ng ex ko kahit wala naman. Edi ayan, total sinabi mo rin sa akin na gusto mong makipag hiwalay edi maghiwalay tayo. Ganun lang kasimple."
-(DEAN ALVAREZ POV)--᯽-I was literally screaming in excitement when she finally answered my text, quickly driving to her address to pick her up.Nang makarating ako sa harap ng bahay nito, dali dali akong nagtipa ng mensahe para sa kanya.Dean: I'm here now, come out, I wanna see you.I pressed send and got out of the car, leaning on the passenger door with both hands in my pockets.And damn, there she was. Wearing a bodycon dress with black stilettos, her hair in a bun."Damn you're so gorgeous." I started as she made the final step.I immediately pulled her to my embrace nang lumapit ito, quickly kissing her cheek."Did you miss me?" She asked as she hugged me back."Of course, I did." Sagot ko. "I've been messaging you but you weren't replying to my texts." Dagdag ko bago humiwalay sa yakap."Ano? Bar hopping tayo?" Aya ko, a small smile on my face.I was getting horny by the sight of her, the dress fits her perfectly and showed her curves."You look so sexy in that dress." Giit
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--ᄒᴥᄒ-I took her to the back of the bar, pulling her to a darker area where no one would notice us. We were both quiet before I lit up a smoke, puffing it away from her face."Ang kapal naman ng mga mukha niyo, dito pa talaga kayo sa bar ng kapatid ko." I started, disbelief was laced in my words."Hindi ka na ba talaga titigil? Akala ko ba tapos na tayo?" She retorted as she was about to take the cigar from me pero inilayo ko iyon.I smirked. "Oo, tapos na nga tayo. But seeing you? With that fucking man…" I ran my fingers through my hair. "Parang pinapakita mo lang sa akin na madali akong palitan." Giit ko bago tumingin sa ibang direksyon."Bakit? Nung ako ang wala sa paligid mo, anong ginawa mo? Diba pinalitan mo rin ako? Wala tayong pinagkaiba, Lal. Kaya pwede ba?" Giit nito sa akin."Hindi kita pinalitan, Ems. Wala akong karelasyon nung ako ang nasa pinas, mas naniniwala ka sa mga gunggong na nagsumbong sayo kaysa sa sarili mong asawa." Sagot ko
-(KAJI YUJIRO ALDANA POV)--❄︎-It was a normal day, chilling on the living room with Axzie as we watch Jeffrey Dahmer nang may biglang tumawag sa cellphone ko. "Someone's calling." Axzie mentioned as she snuggled in my embrace.I took it out from my pocket and saw it was Frances' name on the caller ID.Anong meron?"Who is it?" Tanong nito, looking up at me with curiosity."Just a friend, I have to take this call okay?" I retorted before kissing her cheek, making my way to the front porch.I saw Kuya Khaleed and Kuya Ameer in the front yard, just chilling with their wives as their kids played with each other."Hello Zyair?" I asked nang sagutin ko na ang tawag."Hey, Kaj. I know it's kinda late, but can you fly over to the US?" He asked, worry was evident in his tone."Why, what's wrong? Don't tell me it's about Lorelei…" I started, my brows furrowed by the thought of her.This bitch still messing with me."No, it's not about her.” He retorted, hearing him sniff made me a bit anxiou
-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO-FRANCISCO POV)-~♪~Nang makarating ako sa bahay, nakita ko si Dean na naghihintay sa gilid ng kanyang kotse, wondering why he’s here.“Dean, what are you doing here?” I asked as soon as I exited my car.“Hi, Emy. Can we talk?” He asked with a small smile on his face.“I can’t-” Naputol ang aking sasabihin nang sumagot ito.“Please.” He pleaded, reaching for my hand before holding it tightly.I sighed. “Fine, ano yun?” Tanong ko naman.“I want to talk about last night.” He started. “I just want to tell you that, I never felt a sensual sensation towards you.” He added, which confused me.“What do you mean ‘you never felt a sensual sensation’?” I asked confusingly.“I never felt it, because all I felt for you was love.” He retorted. “Love and care, and I want to take this ‘friendship’ further.” Dagdag nito sa kanyang sinabi.“Okay, pag-iisipan ko.” Ayun na lamang ang sinagot ko dahil wala akong maisip na pwedeng isagot ng matino rito.“Let me court you, Emy.” S
-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO-FRANCISCO POV)-~♪~“Dean, bili tayo ganun oh.” Wika ko habang tinuturo ang cotton candy stand.Kasalukuyan kaming nasa carnival, at kakatapos lang namin mag-cinema at nagutom kami dahil dun.“Anong gusto mo?” Tanong nito bago ako bigyan ng corndog.“Gusto ko ng cotton candy.” Sagot ko nang kunin ko ang binibigay nito.“Sige, bili ka. Hintayin kita dito.” Saad nito na ikinangiti ko.Dali dali akong nagtungo sa cotton candy stand at bumili ng dalawa, thinking if he also wants one. Nang makabili ako ay bumalik ako kung nasaan si Dean, giving him the cotton candy that I bought.“Gusto mong magrides?” Tanong nito bago kumain sa kanyang corndog.“Sure, anong rides ba ang gusto mo?” Tanong ko naman pabalik.“Vikings.” Sagot niya. “Ubusin mo na yan para makasakay na tayo.” Dagdag nito sa kanyang sinabi.“V-Vikings?” Tanong ko muli na may bahid ng kaba.“Oo, ayaw mo ba?” Giit nito.“Takot ako sa heights, nalulula ako.” Ani ko bago tumingin sa malaking ferris wheel na
-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO-FRANCISCO POV)--ᄒᴥᄒ-“Hi, love… dito ka pala nakalibing…” Giit ko nang makaupo na ako sa harap ng puntod nito.Habang kami ay gumagala ni Jace ay nasabi nito kung saan nakalibing ang asawa ko, and luckily dinala ako nito ruon.Tears welled up in my eyes once more as I stared at his tombstone, the regret and grief was still within me and I can’t help but cry once more.“Ang daya mo, love. Sabi mo sabay tayong mawawala dito sa mundo, pero bakit ka nauna?” I whispered as I touched his carved name on the stone.“Hey, Lal.” Wika ni Jace as he sat beside me. “I did what you told me to do… please guide her as she heals…” Dagdag nito sa kanyang sinabi.“Always..” I whispered. “Please, magpakita ka sakin kahit sa panaginip lang..” I whispered once more before standing up, quickly walking away because the pain and grief was too much to bear.“Emy, wait!” Sigaw pa ni Jace.Ngunit hindi ko na siya pinansin pa, mas nangingibabaw ang sakit at lungkot sa sistema ko nga
