Semua Bab The Assassin Who Worshipped Me: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Ang dami kong pinangarap noon.Tahimik na bahay. Masayang pamilya. Yakap ng magulang tuwing gabi. Isang mundong walang patayan, walang sigawan, walang luha.Pero lahat ng ‘yon, binura ng isang gabi.Isang gabi ng putok ng baril. Sigawan. At dugo.Kaya simula noon, isa lang ang plano ko—gantihan ang taong pumatay sa kanila.At ngayon, nasa harap ko siya. Hindi bilang kaaway, kundi bilang isang taong... minahal ko. Tanga, ‘di ba?Si Zech Chartreuse.Ang lalaking bumuo at sumira sa akin.Nakita ko siyang bumaba ng sasakyan—mabilis ang lakad, punong-puno ng tensyon. Nanginginig ang kamay ko, pero hindi dahil sa takot. Sa galit.Gusto ko siyang suntukin. Gusto ko siyang yakapin. Pero hindi ko alam alin ang uunahin.“Mon amour…” he whispered the nickname he used to call me. Ang boses niya, parang galing sa bangungot na ayaw ko nang balikan.His eyes fell on my stomach. I saw the way his world shattered. And yet, I stood there like stone.“What are you doing here?” malamig kong tanong. Walan

The moment I stepped out of Heavenly, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.Zech’s scent still clung to me—subtle cologne, danger, and something unexplainably addictive.His words echoed in my ears. “Kung kaya ko alisin ‘yan sayo, gagawin ko.”He said it like a promise. Like someone who meant it.But promises from men like him? They come with sharp edges and hidden daggers.Pumasok ako sa kotse at mabilis na isinara ang pinto. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, forcing myself to remember why I was doing this.This isn’t about him. This is about them. My parents. Their screams. Their blood. Their silence.At kung siya nga ang konektado sa lahat ng ‘yon, I will burn his empire to the ground. Piece by piece. Starting with his heart. And the worst part? I think he’s already offering it.Kinabukasan, I received a message.Unknown Number: Hope I didn’t ruin your night, Reighn. I’d like to see you again.Zech.In his connections, it is not impossible to make a move to find my number to him. I s

lang oras ang lumipas mula sa gabing isunuko ko sa kanya ang lahat. Tahimik ang paligid nang magising ako. Malambot ang kama, malamig ang hangin mula sa aircon, at ang amoy ng tabako’t mamahaling pabango ay bumalot sa buong kwarto. Pero wala siya.Kahit sa kabila ng pandidiri ng isipan ko na ang lalaking naglabas-masok sa akin ay ang parehong lalaki na pumatay sa aking mga magulang - kung ito lang ang paraan para makapasok sa kanyang mundo ay gagawin ko.Agad akong tumayo. My body ached from last night’s madness. Every mark on my skin was a reminder of how far I let him in. I dressed up quickly. Isang iglap lang ang kailangan para matauhan. Kailangan kong umalis bago pa mahuli ang lahat. Before I lose more than just myself.But as I reached for the door—Unti-unti ito bumukas ay bumungad sa akin si Zech.Nakatayo siya sa tapat ng pinto, hawak ang cellphone, pero ang titig niya’y diretso sa akin. Parang binabasa niya ang plano ko. Parang wala akong maitatago.“Where are you going, mon a

"You weren’t supposed to see this yet."Boses niya. Mababang bulong, pero sapat para manginig ang buo kong katawan. Dahan-dahan akong lumingon. Naroon siya sa anino ng pintuan, may hawak na sigarilyo at lighter, at ang titig niya ay parang apoy."Zech..."Lumapit siya, tahimik, tulad ng laging ginagawa niya. Hindi ko mahanap ang lakas para gumalaw. Parang kinuryente ang katawan ko ng presensya niya."Dapat hindi mo 'to nakita," ulit niya, mas malamig. "Pero siguro, kailangan na rin.""Paano mo nakuha ang mga 'to?""Reighn... you have no idea how long I’ve waited to see you this close."Nanlaki ang mata ko. "You knew who I was? From the beginning?"Tumango siya. Hindi siya nagkunwaring inosente. Hindi rin siya nagpakita ng pagsisisi."The night your family died... I was there," bulong niya. "Not as the killer. But as the shadow."Lumapit siya sa pader, hinaplos ang lumang litrato ko habang umiiyak."You were a child. Lost. Covered in blood. Pero kahit ganun, sa gitna ng gulo, ang tingin

The rain fell hard that night on Heaven Island a downpour that washed away illusions and promises alike.I didn’t know how long I’d been unconscious. Dahil sa pagod ng lahat na nararamdman ko, all the secrets, pain and hatred.When I woke up, I was in a different room. Not the room Zech and I shared. This one was bare. Cold. The windows were sealed shut, and only a faint humming sound filled the silence. It felt like a hospital room, but darker, lonelier.And I was alone."Reighn."I turned my head weakly to the sound. Zech. Standing by the doorway, bruised, blood on his temple, shirt half torn. But those eyes, they hadn’t changed. Still burning. Still wild. Still mine, if I dared to admit it."You’re safe now," he said, stepping in slowly. "I killed them. The ones who tried to take you."I stared. My mouth was dry. "You... killed them?""They came to hurt you. I couldn't allow that."He walked closer, kneeling beside the bed. I tried to move, but my limbs were heavy, weighted by fati
