Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ni Misha sa narinig. "You know who did this to me?" Napababa siya bigla at aabutin sana ang envelope pero mabilis na tinago 'yon ng babae sa likod nito kaya tinignan niya ito ng masama"What a gaze, so feisty. Just like you, baby," nagbibirong komento ng lalaki na nakatanggap ng tampal sa batok galing sa babae.Tumingin ang babae sa kanya. Kalmado at walang halong panganib ang mga mata nito.Natahimik siya sandali. Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga at kinalma ang sarili. Pagkatapos ay marahang tumango sa dalawa. Siguro naman walang masama kung makinig muna siya. "Okay, let's hear it."Ngumisi ang babae. "Now we're talking."Pormal na tumayo ang babae sa gilid niya saka nagsalita. "I will give this to you. Lahat ng gusto mong malaman at kahit ang impormasyon na hindi mo akalaing malalaman mo ay nandito sa loob ng envelope. Kapag napasakamay mo 'to, tutulungan ka namin maghiganti kung nanaisin mo. Ang kapalit? Kailangan mong sumama sa'min."Kumunot ang noo ni

[Two weeks later]Tamad na tinapon ni Misha ang katawan sa sofa at nagpakawala ng malalim na buntong hininga. Dalawang linggo na siya sa Russia. Two weeks have passed since she started to borrow Zephyra's identity. Zephyra Greene is a skilled agent and the daughter of Zedd Anthony Greene, one of the leader of a secret organization named ISHA, and Eveline Greene, an ISHA's executive and a close combat instructor. ISHA is an organization that do missions all over the world in secrecy, investigating big crime cases, preventing terrorist attacks, do undercover missions, etc, etc. Ang isa sa pinakamalaki nilang base ay nasa Russia at doon siya sekretong pinasok ni Eveline at sinimulang hinasa. Hindi pa patay ang totoong Zephyra, na-coma ito dahil sa huling mission na muntik na nitong kinamatay. At dahil kailangan nila ng isang Zephyra Greene na haharap sa mga tao ay kailangan niyang pansamantalang magpanggap.Hindi pa nakakalimang minuto na nakahiga siya sa silid nang may pumasok para

Dahil sa huling pag-uusap nila sa training room, sinigurado ni Misha na nakahanda ang sarili niya kung sakaling paghihinalaan na naman ni Lucien ang identity niya. Kalmadong tinignan niya ito. Hindi niya ito bibigyan ng rason para mas paghinalaan siya. Oo nga at hindi niya alam kung paano makitungo si Zephyra kay Lucien pero hindi 'yon problema dahil sa mata ni Lucien ay may amnesia siya.Sa nabasa niya tungkol kay Lucien Clive Harrison, isa itong mnemonist. Lucien has an extraordinary inborn ability to recall or remember any long lists of numbers, data, book entries, names, etc, etc. Kahit yung isang buong libro ay kaya nitong i-memorize, educational man o entertainment books. Napakasensitibo din nito sa mga detalye.Kasabay ng pagkakaroon nito ng nakakabilib at nakakahangang memorya ay ang pagkakaroon nito ng tiyak na intuwisyon. And because he is meticulous with details, of course, he won't miss something about her changes, won't he? After all, Zephyra is his bestfriend.Pero sa h

Lucien faked a cough and tried to calm himself. The woman in front of him is rather fascinating. He knows her too well but at the same time, he felt like he just met her for the first time.He stared right into her eyes, oh he adored looking at her. It started when he saw her again. Zephyra's mismatched eyes are always definitive. She has this enthusiastic gaze whenever she's excited, intense when she is angry and ferocious when she is fighting. However, for some reason, the Zephyra in front of him feels different.The first time he held her after seeing her again, he was dazed by her warmth. His body is even reacting to how her soft body is pressed against his. It felt good and it never happened before. He actually felt hot while hugging his bestfriend and that is not right.He started questioning the possibility that her changes could be the effect of having amnesia. Still, he started to tease her out of amusement. It was entertaining to see her adorable responses.For the second ti

That night, Misha brought out the envelope that contains the information about what happened to her almost four years ago.Her staged death, the person who ordered to push her off the cliff, the motives, just everything about the person. Pati ang mga impormasyon na hindi niya akalaing malalaman niya ay nandoon din.Tahimik na pinagmasdan niya ang envelope at napahugot ng malalim na hininga. Kinuha niya ang bote ng beer sa katabi ng envelope at saka uminom. Iniisip niya kung ano ba ang dapat niyang gawin.Soft words escaped from her lips after a brief silence. "What should I do?"Ralph de Santes. 'Yon ang pangalan ng taong nagbigay ng utos na patayin siya at parehong taong nagpalabas na siya ang nasa loob ng sumabog na sasakyan. Hindi 'yon ang kinagulat niya kundi ang totoong pagkatao nito. Si Ralph de Santes ay isang leader ng mafia na nakabase sa Italy at higit sa lahat, ama ito ni Margo at kapatid ng ama niya.Buong akala niya patay na ito. Ayon kasi sa kwento ng ina niya, namatay
