CHAPTER FORTYADAM MEADOWSAS I drove toward the M-Power Hotel, my mind was racing with worry. Jazz hadn't answered any of my calls, and I couldn't locate her using the tracking app I had installed on her phone. It had been a week since we last communicate at iyon ay noong nagpang-abot sila ni Dad sa penthouse ko. After that, hindi na ako nagkaroon ng time para kumustahin man lang siya or kahit bumisita sa kanila para masilip kung okay lang ba siya dahil naging sobrang abala ako sa tinrabaho namin ni Rogel.Anong klaseng tagabantay ako?Just as I was nearing the hotel, my phone buzzed with a message from dad. Pinauuwi niya ako sa bahay for dinner. Hindi ko na kailangan pang magtanong kung bakit dahil hindi ko naman nakalilimutan kung anong araw ngayon. Mom's birthday. At plano ko rin naman talagang doon umuwi mamaya.But first, I needed to find Jazz. I replied to dad, letting him know I'd be coming, but my priority was still finding Jazz. Nang maibaba ko na muli ang phone ko, nagsimula

CHAPTER FORTY-TWOADAM MEADOWSI couldn't let my parents' true killers escape justice, but I had to be smart about it now. I needed Jake's testimony to bring the mastermind down. But first, I had to ensure Jake, and his family were safe from any further harm. Kaya matapos nilang mag-dinner, maayos ko silang inihatid sa bahay nila. Silang mag-asawa lang ang inihatid ko dahil nag-taxi mag-isa ang anak nila pauwi sa apartment nito na siyang naging pabor sa akin para hindi ako nito makilala.Matapos ko silang ihatid at nang mai-park ko na ang sasakyan sa maluwang na garahe sa mansiyon nila, nagpaalam na ako. Nagpasundo ako kay Ezra. Busy pa kasi si Rogel dahil sa naging pagbabago ng plano. Kailangan niyang asikasuhin ang ibang tauhan ko at ang bakanteng warehouse na pagdadalhan sana namin sa pamilya ni Jake.Taking a deep breath, I knew what I had to do next. Kahit dis-oras na ng gabi, nagpahatid pa rin ako kay Ezra sa bahay namin para makausap si dad. Pero habang papunta kami, I sent him

CHAPTER FORTY-FOURJAZZLENENANG imulat ko ang mga mata ko, wala na si Adam sa tabi ko. Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal akong nakaidlip, pero ang alam ko ay magkatabi kami kanina dahil matapos ang nangyari sa amin ay hindi muna ako bumangon sa kama niya. Pareho kaming nanatiling nakahiga, magkatabi habang magkayakap. Sinabihan niya ako na umidlip at maya-maya na lamang daw niya ako ihahatid sa bahay. Pabor din ako roon kaya naman sinunod ko siya.Nasaan siya?I sat up, feeling the lingering warmth of where Adam had been lying next to me. I glanced around the room, my eyes lingering on the door. Maybe he was just outside, doing something important.I threw off the covers and got out of bed, feeling the coolness of the floor beneath my feet. I quickly grabbed the robe hanging on the chair and slipped it on. Taking a deep breath, I walked to the door and slowly opened it, peeking into the hallway."Adam?" mahina kong tawag sa kaniya. But there was no response.I stepped into the hallway

CHAPTER FORTY-SIXJAZZLENE"Ano? Naibalik na ba ang mahiwagang bra mo?" tukso sa akin ni Leigh nang tabihan niya ako sa loob ng bar counter, kararating niya lamangI laughed, shaking my head. "Nope, still missing in action."Kami ni Leigh ngayon ang naka-assign sa bar, habang si Violet naman ay sa housekeeping. Alam na nila ang nangyari last week noong nahuli ako nina Mommy at Daddy sa apartment ni Adam. Nitong nagdaang linggo kasi ay napansin nilang iba na ang sumusundo sa akin kapag hindi free si Daddy. Nagtaka sila kung sino 'yon—which is 'yong lalaking ni-hire ni Adam para sunduin ako at ihatid sa hotel just in case wala si Daddy.Then, they started asking questions, and I had to tell them something, anything, to stop the interrogation. So, I spun the tale of a short-lived fling that ended because we weren't compatible. The truth about our arrangement was too risky to share, so I fabricated a story, and it was believable enough, kaya naman hindi nila ako pinagdudahan. At 'yong kuwe

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTADAM MEADOWSThe anger surging through me was almost unbearable as Rogel drove us to our house. I could feel it deep in my bones, my entire body trembling with rage. Right now, I felt like I could explode at any moment."Sigurado ka na ba sa gagawin mo?" tanong ni Rogel, his voice steady but filled with concern. Hindi na siya pumapasok sa Crystal Empire, nag-resign na siya kaya kasama ko siya ngayon sa mga lakad ko. Hindi na niya kailangan pang manatili pa ro'n, lalo na ngayong alam na namin kung sino talaga ang mastermind.Tumango ako habang humigpit ang pagkakasara ng kamao kong nasa ilalim ng baba ko, habang nakatukod ang aking siko sa salamin ng bintana ng sasakyan sa tabi ko. "Ilang taon kong hinintay 'to, Rogel. T*ngina. Kung alam ko lang na abot-kamay ko lang ang taong nasa likod ng pagkawala ng mga magulang ko, noon pa—noon pa sana kumilos na 'ko."Rogel was silent, his eyes on the road, but I could feel his support and worry. He had been with me through eve
