Billionaire's Tale of Retaliation のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Sariel's point of view The skies have been so dark since 2:00 p.m. that it looks like a storm is coming. But my instincts are so right, I'm here in the middle of the road near our mansion. Pero ang swerte ko lang, kasi pinalapit lang ako bago masiraan ang kotse ko. Kinuha ko nalang ang purse ko at cellphone at kaagad na bumaba. Kunting ambon lang mero, pero nang paparating na ako sa mansion, doon lang lumakas ang ulan. Well, hindi naman ako masyadong nabasa. I took a deep breath as I turned the knob to open the door. Pero bigla akong nanlumo, nang sa pagbukas ko ng pinto ay bumungad si tito Finn at mommy na nagbabangayan. Sinampal bigla ni tito Finn si mommy. Hindi ko alam kong bakit umabot sila sa ganito. This past few months, okay naman sila, walang ganitong ganap. Lalapitan ko kaagad sana si mommy. Pero nang malapit na sana ako sa kanya, ay bigla akong nadulas. Nabasa kasi talaga ako, malakas na ang ulan, meron siyang kasamang kulog at kidlat. Grabe 'yung palpitations ko. Takot

Maddox's point of view Dax Donomie Martinelli changed his mind when he said that we'd meet at the place he gave me. Instead, they invited us to their mansion here in the Philippines. Well, what can I say when they just got here a few months ago and they already have a mansion here in the Philippines that looks like a palace. What can you say when he's a triple billionaire more than me and the Don of a Cosa Nostra of New York? The most powerful Cosa Nostra is here in the Philippines with his wife. I am merely laughing when all of the criminals outside this country are here. What happened to their own country, nowhere to be hidden? The Philippines indeed hiding a criminal and a spy. At least Dax Donomie isn't like other Cosa Nostras. Hindi ko pa naman lubos na kilala si Dax Donomie, kaya wala pa akong masasabi na mabuti talaga siya o hindi. Kapag kasi masa business worl ka marunong kang kumilatis kung makakapagkatiwalaan mo ba ito o hindi. The others are good at manipulation, though.

Sariel's point of view My lips trembling with panic, I gasped, "Hello? Is there anybody over there?" Undoubtedly, this is not a nightmare. I pinched myself and applied more pressure to my skin, feeling the discomfort. It's not a nightmare, I guess. Once I'm at the edge of the terrace, I look down to see if anything is inside, but nothing is noticeable. Since I'm having trouble falling asleep, perhaps it's just my hallucinations. Huminga ako ng malalim at naisipan na pumasok nalang ulit sa loob. Fortunately, before I knew what was going on, the hairs on the lower part around my neck rose up, and I noticed a shadow come out from my left side. Biglang nanlaki ang mata ko, sisigaw na sana ako sa pagkagulat, mabuti nalang at napigilan ko. Biglang nanginig ang mga paa ko, I don't know what to do. Should I jump out on the terrace? But that's the least option I wanted to do now. The shadow is slowly approaching me, and I'm still in shock. "You think you can escape from me, Sariel? You have

Sariel's point of view The light of dawn kissed my cheeks as it streamed through my room's window. Since Astrella got me to sleep last night, I felt really happy today. She genuinely remained up until I dozed off.Hindi ko alam if makakasurvive ba ako na walang kasamang matulog sa bahay ng isang estranghero. Huminga ako ng malalim at bumangon. Kailangan ko pang makausap si Astrella, nakakahiya naman kapag tinanggihan ko yung alok niya sa libro niya. Malaki na ngang utang na loob ang pagpatuloy nila rito sa akin. Ang bait din niya masyado. Kailangan ko rin palang makipagkita kay Maddy, para umpisahan na ang inuutos ng magaling kong tito. Pumunta muna ako sa bathroom para mag-ayos ng sarili. Nang matapos ako ay nagdadalawang isip pa ba ako kung lalabas na ba o hintayin ko nalang na tawagin ako. Pero nakakahiya naman maging señorita rito. After turning the doorknob to open the door, I paused to look outside to see if anyone was there or if an assistant was on their way. However, I fai

Sariel's point of view I feel terrible that I took something important from him. As I looked at him, I took a deep breath. He is still exquisite since his figure doesn't change. Five days feels like almost five years to me. And now he's close by, but I can't seem to get in touch with him. I hope that hindi pa ito ang huling pagkikita namin. I just need to talk to him, lang naman. Pero ang sabi ko sa sarili ko, na isusuli ko pa yung folder, pero parang hindi ko na magagawa. Hindi na rin ata ako makakabalik sa penthouse niya. "So, this is Maddox Ventura, babe," she snaps, and then motions for Maddox's hand to join mine. "Maddox, this is my best friend, Sariel," she says, then slightly pushes me to Maddy. I turned to glare at her. This brat. Siguro kung hindi ko pa kilala si Maddy, kikiligin talaga ako. Pero kilala ko naman 'yan, e. Baka nga siguro, hindi kilig ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, kundi kaba. "Yeah, I know her very well," he deadpanned staring at me blankly. I swallowed ha
