CHAPTER 11WALANG habas siyang pinompyang ni Lengleng pagkatapos. Napahawak si Bria sa kaniyang ulo. She winced her pain because of the strong impact.“Aray ko naman!” reklamo niya dahil konti na lang yata at papunta na siya sa internal bleeding! “Ate, ayos ka lang po ba?” nag-aalalang tanong naman sa kaniya ni Yesha sa gilid.Pinilit niyang ngumiti kahit gusto niyang isagot rito na: “bebe, hindi. Parang kagat lang naman ‘to ng dinosaur.”Pero syempre, hindi naman niya iyon puwedeng sabihin! May pinagdaanan itong mabigat kanina ’tapos gagatungan pa ba niya? “Buang ka talaga, Biyang!” tawa pa ni Lengleng na para bang hindi nito inalog ang buong mundo niya.Sarkastiko siyang tumawa. “Haha. Nakakatawa yung ginawa mo, ‘no? Gusto mo gawin ko rin sa ‘yo para mas masaya?”Akmang hahablutin niya rin ang ulo ni Lengleng nang mabilis itong nakaiwas sa kaniya. Hays! Sayang!“Ate, puwede po ba ’kong pumunta muna kila Ate Doris sa clubhouse po? Tutulong po muna 'ko sa kanila...” paalam ni Yesha

CHAPTER 13SINAKOP ni Sir Magnus ang labi ni Bria. His lips moved slowly and leisurely at first. But eventually, he began kissing her hungrily. He teased her lips with his tongue, licking it and trying to push inside. Mahina siyang napadaing. Bahagya nitong hinila ang kaniyang buhok dahilan para kusang nagparte ang kaniyang labi. “Hmm...” she moaned when his tongue entered her mouth.His tongue explored the corners of her mouth. Napapikit nang mariin si Bria. Her hand found the collar of his shirt and she crumpled it. Natagpuan na lang niya ang sariling sinusuklian ang maiinit nitong halik. Her tongue even battled with his.Pakiramdam niya, mapupugto ang hininga niya sa sobrang diin at bilis ng kanilang halikan. He bit her lower lip and it made her moan again. Humawak siya sa buhok nito at doon sumabunot. The way his other hand traced the outline of her waist sent shivers to her spine. Doon ito humaplos nang pabalik-balik.She could feel her sweat trickling her forehead. The heat was

CHAPTER 15MAGNUS lit his cigarette when he left his laptop for a while. Nagtungo siya sa veranda ng kaniyang kuwarto upang lumanghap ng sariling hangin at makapag-isip.Sabria. That woman.Napapailing siyang humithit sa kaniyang sigarilyo. After all these years, he met her again. And after all that happened, she’s still acting like she owns the world.What a thick face, huh?Binunot niya ang cell phone sa kaniyang bulsa nang marinig niya iyong tumunog. He saw the name ‘Pistol’ registered on the screen. He breathed out harshly before pressing the answer button.“Hey,” he greeted lazily. “We need to track the next transaction as soon as possible. We can’t let them formulate some horrible medicine again and let alone allow it public consumption!” frustrated at sunod-sunod namang sinabi ng kaniyang kausap.He only closed his eyes and shook his head. He still had a lot to think and yet, there’s another one again.“I shouldn’t have come home here in this God forsaken country,” mapait na a

CHAPTER 17WHY did Magnus have to see that?Kitang-kita niya sa mga mata ni Sabria ang isang bagay na alam niyang ikakabagsak niyang muli.Lie.Of all that things that he can see, why did he see it in her eyes that she was lying?He crumpled the paper in his hand. What the hell is wrong with him? He offered her a large sum of money. She doesn’t even deserve a penny from him.A whopping five million pesos. Just for her to leave their house — their estate.“Have I gone crazy?” tanong niya sa kaniyang sarili.Napatukod siya sa study table. He massaged his nape as he reflected on what just happened.Sinabi nitong nag-back out ito sa kasal nila dahil hindi siya nagustuhan nito kahit kailan. Na napilitan lang ito. Na ayaw nitong tuparin ang mga pangarap nila nang magkasama.Pero bakit kanina, sa tuwing titingnan niya ang mga mata nito, nakikita niya na nagsisinungaling lang ito? Those expressive eyes... had blatant deceit in them.He closed his eyes tightly. He’s long been fine by himself.

CHAPTER 19NAUWI sila sa pagpunta sa Paradise Superclub. Isang high-end club na pinuntahan lang naman ng tarantado nilang target kaya kailangan nila itong puntahan para masundan ito.Hanggang sa makapasok sila sa club ay iritado siya kay Blythe. Pa’no ba naman kasi! No’ng nagpaulan ng jologs na ugali ang mundo, sinalo yata nito lahat! Sukat namang magsuot ito ng dark green na clown wig? Nagmukha tuloy itong broccolli sa paningin niya!Samantalang siya, nag-effort pa siya! Nang todo, ha!She wore her barbie pink pixie-cut wig. She also wore her champagne cocktail dress and her three-inch silver strappy sandals. Exposed ang kaniyang sikmura at ang tattoo niya sa kaliwang bahagi ng kaniyang tiyan na noon lang ulit nakatamasa ng liwanag. It was also backless so the half of her back was also unclothed. Dinala lang din niya ang luma niyang silver pouch na branded. She also wore her gray contact lenses and manipulated her make-up to modify the features of her face. Kinapalan niya iyon sa
