“How dare you make a fool out of me!” Gael roared as he landed his fists on the face of Alphonse, ang lalaking itinuro ng mga raliyista na nagbayad sa kanila upang manggulo sa SSL. Kilala niya ang lalaki sa mukha subalit hindi sa pangalan. Minsan umaaaligid ito kay Alaric at Lena kasama ng iba pang mga tauhan ng mag-ama. “You will not leave this country alive, do you hear me? You and your friend will rot here and I will make sure of that!” dugtong pa niya.Subalit imbes na matakot, the bastard lifted his black and blue face up at him and smirked. “Ich habe keine angst vor dir außenseiter! (I am not afraid of you, outsider!)”The guts of this a*shole to tell him that! Uundayan pa niya sana ito ulit ng suntok subalit pinigil na siya ni Gray.“Alright, that’s one too many blow, Gael. Bugbog na ‘yang mga ‘yan kagabi pa. At hindi ‘yan ang dahilan kung bakit kita pinapunta rito,” anang kaibigan, hawak siya sa braso. “Tinatanong ng mga nasa taas kung ano raw ang gusto mong gawin?”Bumaling s

"Cindy, get me an umbrella, please," mabilis na utos ni Charlie sa katulong na sumalubong sa kanya nang tuluyan siyang makarating sa sala. Tumango ang katulong at mabilis na tumalima. Ilang sandali lang, bumalik ito bitbit ang payong na hinihingi niya. She quickly grab hold of it and went out of the house. "Charlie, where are you going?" saway sa kanya ni Jacob nang nasa portico na siya ng bahay, bahagya pa siyang hinarang. Subalit imbes na sumagot, tuluyan niyang binuksan ang payong at nagdire-diretso sa driveway. Urgency was pumping in her veins. She doesn't mind if Caleb would go berserk once again, he could turn the mansion upside down for all she cares. Iisa lang ang nasa isip niya, ang madaluhan si Gael sa lalong madaling panahon. "Open the gate," utos niya sa security guard nag marating niya iyon. The guard eyed her for a while, subalit sa huli ay tumalima rin. When the single entry gate opened, she quickly slipped through it and there she saw Gael's form, kneeling on the

"I hope you wouldn't mind that I will keep Charlie from her work for a while, Gael. For the meantime, ako muna ang kakausap sa mga tauhan ninyo sa Oceanlink. I will be representing Levi and Charlie," anang Daddy ni Charlie kay Gael habang naghahapunan sila. Dalawang araw na si Gael sa kanila. But it was only now that he had regained enough strength to join the rest of the family for dinner. Kanina, dumalaw ang Grandma at ang Uncle Joshua at Uncle Kiel niya. Kasama ang Daddy at Mommy niya, kinausap ng mga ito si Gael in private. She doesn't know what they've talked about but she's hoping it was good because of the lighter aura amongst her family when they went out of the guest room where Gael was staying at. Gano'n din si Gael nang kausapin niyang muli. He looked relieved, like a burden has been lifted off of him. And she's hopeful that her family would soon warm up to her husband again. Sandaling bumaling si Gael sa kanya, ngumiti bago ibinalik ang tingin sa Daddy niya. "I'll c

“This better be it Hugo or else you will really hear from me this time,” gigil na sabi ni Charlie sa assistant ng asawa niya habang pinagbubuksan sila nito ng pinto ng sasakyan kung saan sila nakalulan na mag-ina. Namutla si Hugo, bahagyang yumuko. “I’m just following instructions, Ma’am. I hope you won’t take it against me.” She huffed and rolled her eyes bago siya bumaba sa sasakyan. She’s not pissed. She’s just annoyed. Paano, para na siyang mababaliw sa pag-aalala kanina habang patungo sila sa Prime Mall. Only when they arrived there, Hugo met them and told her that Gael was fine and that they just needed to pick up something at the mall. That irked her instantly. Lalo pa at ayaw sabihin ni Hugo sa kanya kung saan nagpunta ang amo nito. But before she could even lash out at Hugo, dumating ang isang babae at iginiya sila sa novelty shop nito kung saan nagsukat ng ship captain costume si Levi. She really doesn’t understand what the costume is for. But she withheld herself from sa

“Des Auge (Eyes).” “D-des Auge.” “Die Nase (Nose).” “Die N-nashie.” “No, schatzi. It’s die Nase.” “Die N-nase.” “Very good, Levi! You are a fast learner just like you Dad.” Nagmamadaling lumingon si Levi kay Charlie. Her son’s eyes were sparkling with pride. “You heard that, Mommy? Grampy said I learn fast like Dadddy!” Charlie chuckled and walked over at the bed where Levi and Aksel were. She reached for her son’s cheeks and gave it a gentle pinch. “I heard that, sweetheart. Now why don’t you go with Jacob for a while and let me help Grampy with his food,” aniya. Mabilis na ibinalik ni Levi ang mata kay Aksel at nagmano sa matanda. “Bis später, Grampy! (See you later, Grampy!)” bibong sabi ni Levi bago lumabas sa silid ni Aksel. “You raised a really smart boy, Charlie,” ani Aksel nang sila na lang dalawa ang naiwan sa silid nito. "That's because you are a great teacher, Aksel. Don't you agree?" she said as she helped Aksel sit on the bed. The old man chuckled and spoke som
