The day Melody had told Maureen about finally arrived—it was the disco festival in a nearby barrio close to their town. Melody was brimming with excitement. For the first time, she was bringing someone from Manila. In small towns like those in Davao Oriental, you immediately became the center of attention if people knew you were a visitor from Manila—or even from abroad.Davao Oriental was a quiet village known for joyful gatherings like fiestas and festivals. That evening, two of the most beautiful ladies in the area—Melody and Maureen—were getting ready for the most awaited disco party. They were in Maureen’s room, full of laughter and playful teasing, especially with Melody constantly cracking jokes. Maureen was clearly beginning to be influenced by Melody’s bubbly nature.“Ate Maureen, hurry up! Fix your hair already, you’re taking forever to curl it!” Melody teased while applying her lipstick in front of the mirror.Maureen was busy adjusting the white dress Melody had given her j

Melody woke Reina up in the middle of the night. Her voice trembled, not from the cold but from urgency."Maureen, wake up. We need to leave. Now."Reina blinked in confusion. The wind howled outside, and rain hit the rooftop in steady beats. "Why? What’s going on?""They're looking for you," Melody whispered, gripping her arm. "Men came into town. I overheard someone saying they were asking about a woman who fits your description."Reina’s heart raced. Her throat went dry. "Gabriel?""I don’t know. But it’s not safe anymore. We have to go. Hurry—pack what you can."Without further questions, Reina grabbed her bag. Her hands trembled as she shoved in clothes, a small bottle of medicine, and the photo of her mother that she always kept close. Melody helped her, calm but clearly tense.They snuck out through the back door. The rain soaked them immediately. The street was dark, empty, except for the distant sounds of tricycles and drunk men singing from a sari-sari store nearby. Melody le

It was their second day on the island. As twilight painted the sky with golden hues, Reina, Nate, and Melody walked leisurely beneath the coconut trees. Soft rays of sunlight slipped through the leaves, gently swept away by the cool breeze."Ate, hurry up and grab that! You're so slow! These coconuts are way too high—ugh, so annoying!" Melody teased, pointing at a coconut above them."Why don’t you climb up then, Melody? It’s way too high!" Reina shot back playfully."That’s exactly why Kuya Nate should do it! Just look at that body—he looks like he’s used to this kind of thing," Melody added with a cheeky grin.Nate laughed as he took off his top shirt, leaving only a white tank underneath. His gentle smile faded as he began to climb the tree with surprising skill and focus. Clearly, he knew what he was doing.“You two, be careful down there. You might get hit by a coconut,” he warned.As Nate climbed, Reina couldn't help but watch him in admiration. He looked so at ease, like he’d do

Wayne woke to the hum of an engine near the shore. He instantly knew—the yacht had arrived. Without hesitation, he shook Reina awake, then quickly roused Melody and Nate. Everyone moved fast, alert and tense, fear clearly etched on their faces.They stepped out together, clutching their bags tightly.“Reina, hurry up!” Wayne shouted as he walked briskly toward the edge of the pier. He stayed close to his sister, steadying her as she walked. She kept glancing nervously over her shoulder. Despite the chill of the early morning air, both of them were drenched in sweat. Nate and Melody followed close behind, backpacks full of essentials slung over their shoulders.“There are boats heading toward the island too,” Nate warned, looking warily to the left.“They might be Gabriel’s men,” Melody added, her voice sharp with anxiety.“I know they’ll catch up fast, Wayne,” Reina whispered, grabbing her brother’s arm. “Are you sure the yacht is ready?”“Yes. Rico’s waiting for us on board. Trust me,

The boat slowly glided toward the shore of the quiet, serene island of Davao Oriental. The sun was beginning to set, casting an orange glow over the water and the surrounding hills. Gabriel stood at the edge of the boat, eyes locked on the horizon, his body stiff, his jaw clenched. His heart raced with anticipation, but as they neared the shore, something in his gut told him that things weren’t going to go as planned.He had spent the last several days tracking Reina and her abductor, trying to figure out where they had gone after everything fell apart. His fiancée, the woman he had promised to marry, had vanished without a trace. The betrayal ran deep. But this island—this was supposed to be where they had gone. He had it on good authority that they were here, hidden away, away from the chaos of the city.His bodyguards stood silently around him, waiting for his orders, their eyes vigilant, scanning the shoreline for any sign of movement. Gabriel’s mind was a storm. How could this ha
