"This is really getting out of hand," I whispered to myself while staring down at the sleeping beauty snoring beside me. Femella in all her glory is splayed beneath the white sheets, her legs entangled on his thighs."Man, this is crazy," I softly speak to prevent her from waking up. My heart was debating whether to analyze the strange feeling or just let it be.This has been bugging me for the past days that we were together and was only cemented after our literal heated encounter last night. I scooted over and brushed the sides of her hair. "Femella Alcantara. Femella Alcantara." The way her name rolls in my tongue seems so good to my ears. I stared at the woman who was still sound asleep in my bed."Why.. Why do I feel like I've met you before? Why does it feel like I've known you for years? Your touch, your smell, even your presence felt too familiar."The woman moved and slowly opened her eyes. She seem

"Wow! Just wow! It's so pretty! This place looks unreal!" I exclaimed while admiring the breathtaking view.Before us is a very long breadth of immaculate turquoise water. The white sand was so fine that there was not even a trace of trash from where we were standing.Along the way are all sorts of trees that give a mysterious path to the water. White glitters are everywhere. The sun is kissing the white sand, its light seething into the cracks and folds of the leaves from the trees. I turned to Maverick who had just gotten out of the car. He laughed and pinched my cheek lightly then put his arm around me. He raised the sunglasses to his head and looked at me softly."You really love water, huh."My smile widened as I can't help myself from containing the excitement to soak my body in the inviting water. "Yeah, water is my first language. My mother used to tell me stories about how I love swimming when I was only two

It was already late at night and Femella had been asleep next to me but I was still awake.My mind kept going back to our conversation earlier."My parents are dead. I don't have a sibling and my relatives all lead fucked up lives so I know they can't take good care of me so I am practically alone forever. There, I already answered your question. Satisfied?""You're an only child?""No."It might have been a slip of her tongue or I just didn't hear her right. Maybe she's just bluffing because she remembered how she already told me about her having no siblings. And why did I even ask that question?Maybe because my dreams are coming back.Vague memories of the past went back to haunt me again as if them being constantly in my head every now and then is not enough. They harass me even at night. The memories are clearer now more than before.What's even shocking is the more I think about Femella, the cle

"Wait here, I'll go back in the house to get my cigarette.""Sure."I watched Maverick as he got up from sitting on the mat and walked back to the house. The man wasn't wearing anything on top. It's just his boxer shorts as usual."Tsk. The man's got a thick skin. He didn't feel any coldness."I returned my eyes back to the violent waves of the sea and drank from the can of wine I was holding. The moon is bright in the sky illuminating the white sand and blue ocean. You can also hear the strong gusts of wind around. I have no idea what Maverick has eaten again to invite me for night swimming. I guess he's not satisfied with all the swimming and forcing me to surf all day. I shook the can of beer I was holding and looked out to sea."Maybe he wants to make the most out of the place tonight. After all, it's our last night here in this magical place. It's our last night together."The strange sadness and re

"Are you okay?"Femella turned to me from staring out of the car. She looked so distracted. She smiled at me without the usual glow and fierceness in her eyes."Yeah, I'm okay. Don't worry."I returned my focus to the road. "Where will I drop you off? Will you go back to your apartment first?" I had noticed her strange silence earlier while we were at home and having breakfast. She is not responding to my questions which is making me worry. I tried to put on a conversation but she didn't seem to be buying it. She will just answer me with a small smile and a shrug. I wonder what went wrong.Did she change her mind? I gripped the steering wheel and squeezed my teeth at the thought.No way in hell I'm going to let her go. I've already decided to explore this new terrain I've discovered. This was the first time I felt this so I just had to do everything to keep Femella with me. I accelerated the speed

"A boy named Dave called me last night and leaked out your location. Care to tell me what's going on, princess?""Stop calling me that!" I hissed at Vida. "Then tell me what's this all about. Stop sulking in a corner acting as if you just broke up with your boyfriend. Oh wait!" She paused and inspected my face. "Shut up!" I wiped her hand from my face and looked out of the car. After landing the helicopter on a hangar, we boarded the waiting club car that would take me to my apartment."Gosh! Did you just fall in love with Maverick? Wow! I can't believe it! You have a horrible taste in men, Femella."I glanced at Vida."Okay, I'm gonna shut up. I have to consider your feelings, I know. It's not easy to nurse a broken heart.""Shut up." I gripped Maverick's jacket on my body. I silently cursed myself for being vulnerable in front of him. He shouldn't have witnessed that. "So? Who

I stopped the Tesla Model X car in front of one of my hotels and stepped out of it. I buttoned up my suit jacket and glanced at my security team who also exited their armored vehicles. I nodded to Jex who was their head and walked ahead.I passed through the revolving glass door and into the turnstile where I swiped up my identification card. Every employee stopped in their tracks to greet me. "Good day, sir."I just nodded at those who greeted me as I walked to the private elevator. Anita, out hotel manager greeted me and accompanied me. There wasn't any hint of weariness on her face considering it's a surprise inspection."How's the ongoing renovation of the 63rd floor?" I asked in a casual tone."Going well, sir. The interior designer you recommended is already on her finishing touches. The curated art pieces from Mindanao just arrived. They will be decorated according to the preference of the guests

My whole body was covered in dust and dirt and I was also sticky because of the sweat from a few hours of cleaning the whole apartment but I still went on scrubbing the sticky dried rice on the floor tiles. In my mind, I had already killed a few hundred times and shredded into pieces, the green-eyed monster named Dave. If it weren't for him, I would be at the spa now and enjoying Maverick's money spending of forty-nine million.But no. I'm here now almost scratching my face on the blackened white tiles. I can only imagine Dave's face as I leisurely brushed his face on the floor. When I was finished, I rested for a while while eating a watermelon. I glanced at the wall clock. It's past ten o'clock in the evening. I put my elbows on the kitchen table and ate the fruit while wiping my sweat. I want to take a bath right at this instant but I still need to rest for a few minutes.I looked over my place and smiled. It's back to its tidy and order for

"How's it going?""It's going smooth.""Come on, be honest to me, Femella."She sighed on the line."I'm suffering right now. I don't know what to do anymore! I hate this! I want to quit this and go somewhere else and change my identity! I feel so powerless. I'm starting to doubt myself. I wanted to end this so badly, Rowald. I do not have anyone by my side. It's hard. Lagma Rey is not someone I should go against. Not with my current status now. I'm poor. I have no money, no connection. I don't have my family by my side. We had long been in the gutter. So I think this mission is impossible."I shifted in the wooden chair I'm sitting in and drank some water."Stick to the plan. Maverick has already fallen to you so you can now execute the plan. It's the only way that can work. Remember, time is our worst enemy here. If Lagma finds out about you, it will be game over.""No. I have long discarded the plan of using him to fu

"Dave, I'm in. How's your position?"I gave out my sweetest smile to the photographer who asked for my photo and gracefully shook my head to refuse. I made my way to the main area of the largest convention area in the country and got myself a glass of champagne from the passing waiter."I'm in my place and still looking for Lagma's room. The security here is so tight. I can't get in. I need more time."I sipped on my glass and seductively smiled at the Korean gentleman across from me. I already noticed that he was staring at me the moment I walked in the door. "It's okay. Go have all the time that you need. I will just enjoy here while I'm fishing for some monkeys. Perhaps meet some old friends. After all, it's a gala night organized by my clan's number one enemy.""Ok. I'm out."I touched my ear and simply turned off the hearing device attached to my earrings. I walked over to an empty poseur table and placed the gla
