It is past six in the evening when Ameira finishes her four jobs. She has different jobs. Initially, at Aling Lordes' store which is a convenience store, second, at a fast-food chain as a dishwasher, third, as a sidewalk clothes seller, and fourth, as a dog sitter. All her part-time jobs are in the same city, but on different streets where there are only a few rides or walks to get to them. "One order of pares, please," she said to the man who owns Pares-Pares. She sat in an empty seat and waited for her order. While waiting for her food, she swept her eyes over the place. The lights at each stall are brightly colored, as are the lights in the shops and other structures that surround the entire Makati area. There was a commotion around like at a market. "Here's your order," said the female waitress who was wearing a dress that she usually wears. They don't have a dress code or anything, unlike the other expensive restaurants. Ameira nodded and thanked her, then she started eat

"What is this commotion all about? And—why are you laughing so loudly, Kendrick? Are you being naughty again?" A skinny white woman blurted in while holding a tray of food. She's wearing a white jumpsuit and her long chocolate hair is in a clean bun. With a heart-shaped face, thick eyebrows, long thick lashes, pointed nose, and pouty small lips, she's undeniably gorgeous. "Nothing, Ms. Zebina. I'm just laughing at this kid," Kendrick said, still not stopping to giggle. "Every time she speaks, she sounds too cold. It's like you'd need a lot of blankets because of how cold she is, and then she blushes at the question, "have you eaten?" His face almost turned red because he was laughing too much. Ameira clenched her fists, ready to blow this man's face right now. Aleja noticed the sudden change in Ameira's mood so he tapped Kendrick on the shoulder. "Stop it," he coldly commanded him. "Isn't this funny, bro? Damn, when she avoids us it's like she doesn't know us. Then, every time we

After leaving the private area where she talked to Denvo, SAMARA was catching her breath while holding her chest. Her heart was beating so fast that until now, her knees were still shaking with fear and shock. She couldn't believe how fierce that demon was. After riding an elevator, she reached the third floor of the building and walked in a hurry to her office. She must calm herself down and call Aleja to tell him about what they talked about. She sat on her swivel chair as soon as she reached her office. She grabbed her iPhone X from the drawer, searched for Aleja's number, and called him. Her hands kept shaking after seeing that scene. She couldn't believe that devil! He's a fucking beast! It took minutes before Aleja answered her call. [Samara, have you met him already? Did everything go smoothly?]” Aleja asked. Samara shook her head as if Aleja would see it. "Y-yes, and no. I did meet him, but he burst out in anger when I ruined the contract. H-he knows that I ruined the

ALEJA parked the pick-up truck he was driving next to the Paradise Club itself. After getting out of the truck, Kendrick reminded his friend, "Remember our agreement, you can't fall for Samara. All women are yours as long as Samara is mine. Aleja turned to him and said, "Even they are all yours. I have no interest in any woman, I'm too busy with things," he told his friend then they entered the club together. They walked straight to the third floor where Samara's office was. They will discuss the first step to take towards their success. They'll fry them in their own oil. Everyone who destroyed him will pay the price, or let's say, more than the price. Eye to eye, life to life. A lack of control over his anger and a desire for revenge are driving him. And this is what motivates him to continue the plan. He'll also look for the real murderer—the person who killed his dad. He will spare no one. As he and Kendrick got into the elevator, he leaned against the wall while his hands w

AMEIRA finished performing with her own band. Three weeks have passed and for the three weeks, she has been singing. Sometimes she performs on the street to increase her income and often takes part in various bar gigs as well. "Are you coming? We'll eat outside," Marvin Cagayan asked Ameira as she got off the stage. She didn't bother to fix the used instruments because someone else would use them. They aren't just the band that performs here, they are also famous and have producer bands as well. Marvin is the pianist in the band. He is also adept at other instruments. "No, I still have a part-time job. Go ahead," she replied. Joseph Quinton and Mark Salazar also came down. “Won’t you take your payment first before going to your next job?” Marks asked, the beatboxer in the group. It was with Joseph who was the drummer of the band. "I'll take it before I go," Ameira replied sparingly. As for Ameira, she put the guitar in its bag. She works at an exclusive hotel in Makati, Manila,
