-(JACE RAJIV PHILEMON POV)--❀-"Anong balita jan?" I solemnly asked while I stood outside of the abandoned building.Humithit ako sa sigarilyo na hawak ko habang pinapanood ang araw na lumubog mula sa langit."Still can't trace him, I'm starting to assume he's using a burner phone to prevent him from getting traced." Sagot nito sa kabilang linya."Just make sure you find him, wag ka na rin mag paligoy-ligoy pa pag natiyempuhan mo. Don't leave any evidence behind pag nagawa mo na siyang patayin." Paalala ko rito bago humithit muli sa sigarilyo."Eh yung ginapos mo? Ano ang balita sa kanya?" He asked.I smirked. "Malapit ko na siyang makuha. Pag nagawa ko na ang gusto ko, pwede ko na siyang itapon." Saad ko bago lumingon sa loob, nagbabakasakali na hindi niya ako naririnig."Hindi ka ba naaawa sa ginagawa mo sa babaeng yan?" Tanong nito."Bakit naman ako maaawa? All they did was hurt and invalidate my feelings, gumaganti lang ako." Sagot ko. "Sige na, baka magising pa to at masira pa a

-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--᯽-I was busy studying some paperworks in my bedroom nang maramdaman kong parang may kulang…Bakit parang… I've been missing something?It feels like something is definitely missing…I looked at the wall clock, seeing it was 2:30 in the afternoon. It seemed normal. But in my heart, something was missing.Shaking my head, I set my wonders aside at itinabi ang mga papeles sa isang folder bago iyon itago sa drawer. Quickly standing up and heading out of the room.Nagdesisyon ako na magtimpla muna ng kape, ngunit kahit sigur humigop ako hindi mawawala ang bigat na nararamdaman ko sa puso ko.Grabbing my phone from my pocket, I dialled Ameer’s number. Just so my insides will be at ease.“Hello?” Tanong nito nang masagot na niya ang tawag.“Hyasid, it’s me.” Sagot ko at saka umupo sa sofa.“Gelal? Where are you?” Tanong nito. “Kamusta ka na?”“Ayos lang ako, kayo?” Tanong ko rin. “Sina Chase?”“Ayos lang kami, si Chase nasa Bulacan daw nung nakausap ko. Your

-(JESCEL THYLANE VELASTRO POV)-~✿⁠~I was having my breakfast at my condo nang may kumatok sa pinto.Hindi ako nag-eexpect ng bisita, ngunit tiningnan ko pa rin kung sino iyon.“Sino yan?” Tanong ko habang papalapit.“Just open the fvcking door.” It answered, and by his voice, I already knew who it was.Binuksan ko ang pinto at ang unang sumalubong sa akin ay ang dulo ng baril, pointing it straight directly to my face.“What are you doing?” I asked him as I backed away.“Nagawa mo ba ang pinagagawa ko sayo?” Tanong nito sa akin habang siya’y papasok, the gun still pointed at me.“Ginagawa ko na, pero hindi ko pa siya makumbinsi-” Naputol ang aking sasabihin nang sumagot ito.“Wag mo na siyang kumbinsihin, ako na ang bahala. Your job is done.”He stated and quickly pulled the slideback of the gun.My heart started to rush, wondering if what I have done was wrong for him to point a gun at me. “Jace, put the gun down.” Giit ko ngunit hindi ito nakinig.“Ako na lang ang tatapos sa pinaga

-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--00:30-“Damn it.” I whispered and got up from bed.Hinilot ko ang aking noo, sleep wasn't overtaking my body and I'm starting to get pissed.Napag-desisyunan ko na lumabas ng kwarto at bumaba muna upang makapag timpla kahit tsaa man lang.As I head downstairs, faint splashes coming from the pool can be heard, and curiosity is roaming around my mind as I head to the kitchen.“Who’s swimming at this hour?” I whispered to myself as I filled the kettle with water.Placing the kettle on the stove, nagtungo ako sa may pool upang tingnan kung sino ang naroon habang hinihintay ko iyon na kumulo. “Hey.” Giit ko na sapat lang upang marinig ng taong ito.Pinanood ko itong iahon ang kanyang ulo, just seeing the dirty blonde hair, I already knew who it was.“It’s late, why are you still up and swimming? In the middle of the night?” I asked nang lingunin ako nito.“I should ask you the same thing.” Sagot nito at saka umahon sa pool, grabbing his towel on the sun ba

-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--12:15-“Silas, can you go make me a cup of coffee, please?” I ordered as I pressed the intercom.“Sure, is there something else you would like me to do?” Tanong niya.“Just a cup of coffee, thank you.” Sagot ko at saka bumalik sa pagtatrabaho.Kasalukuyan akong nasa opisina nang biglang sumakit ang ulo ko, I've been getting headaches lately but this one seemed worse.Turning off my laptop, I closed my eyes just so I could rest for 15 minutes, maybe this was because I didn’t get any proper sleep for the past few days.Parang mabibiyak sa gitna ang ulo ko dahil sa sobrang sakit na naging dahilan upang saluhin ko ito gamit ang aking mga kamay.Putragis…“Here’s your coffee, Sir.” Giit ni Silas nang makapasok na ito sa office.“Thank you.” Sagot ko na hindi tumitingin rito.“Is there something else you would like me to do?” Tanong niya na naging dahilan upang mag-angat ako ng tingin rito.“Bilhan mo ako ng gamot para sa sakit ng ulo.” Sagot ko at saka suma
