ELOWEN GARCIA’S POV Parang humigpit ang lalamunan ko at hindi ako nakasagot sa kanya. Hindi dahil wala akong gustong sabihin... kundi dahil hindi ko alam kung paano sisimulan. His hand was still inside my shirt, resting against my bare skin. Hindi naman siya gumagalaw, pero sapat na iyon para lalo akong kabahan. Kasi damang-dama ko ang init niyon sa katawan ko. And the way he was looking at me… Parang may hinihintay siyang sagot na hindi ko kayang ibigay sa kanya. I swallow hard, avoiding his gaze because it makes me feel nervous for no reason. "A-ano.." mahina kong simula, halos hindi ko marinig ang sarili kong boses. I hesitated. My fingers tightened around the blanket, pulling it up to cover more of my chest. Then, shyly… With trembling courage.. I spoke again. "May… nangyari ba sa atin?" tanong ko, halos pabulong. He didn't answer me, so I lifted my gaze to looked at him. And he was there.. he was just staring at me. His eyes searched mine, dark and unread

JACOB ALDEGUIRE’S POV Tahimik ang buong opisina ko. The kind of silence that only existed on the highest floor of the building, far above everyone else. Far above the noise. Far above the world. Tumayo ako sa harap ng floor-to-ceiling glass wall, at ang parehong kamay ay nakapasok sa bulsa ng aking slacks habang pinagmamasdan ang lungsod sa ibaba ng mataas na gusaling kinaroroonan ko. Everything looked small from up here. Insignificant. Controllable. Exactly the way I liked it. Behind me, I heard the faint click of the door opening. At hindi ko na kailangang lumingon upang makita kung sino ito, dahil wala naman akong ibang pinapahintulutang pumasok sa loob ng aking opisina... maliban kay Luis, ang aking sekretarya. My most trusted weapon. Nanatili akong nakatingin sa labas, pinagmamasdan ang mabagal na paggalaw ng mga sasakyan sa ibaba, habang pinipigilan ang galit na ilang oras ko nang kinikimkim. “Do you know the bar located two blocks from CPI Holdings and I

JACOB ALDEGUIRE'S POV The sound of his breathing disgusted me. Rafael Samañego hung from the steel chain bolted to the ceiling, his expensive suit reduced to nothing more than torn fabric clinging uselessly to his bloodied body. His head sagged forward, chin resting against his chest as if the weight of his own sins had finally become too heavy to carry. But not heavy enough to satisfy me. His bl*od coated my skin, drying in dark streaks across my fingers. I flexed my hand slowly, feeling the ache settle deep into my bones. At nang marinig ko ang mumunting tinig na kumakawala sa kanyang bibig ah napangiti ako. It felt good because he's still alive and that means I could meet going. I stepped forward, my shoes echoing against the concrete floor. The warehouse was silent except for his labored breathing and the faint dripping of bl*od hitting the ground beneath him. Inabot ko ang kanyang panga, inangat ang kanyang ulo at pilit na pinapaharap sa akin ang kanyang mukha. And I chu

ELOWEN GARCIA’S POV Hindi ko na matandaan kung ilang oras na kaming nasa gano'ng posisyon. My breathing was still uneven. My body still warm from his touch. Mula sa ceiling ng Vip room ag dahan-dahan akong tumingin sa kanya. And I found his eyes were fix on me. He stared at me like he's afraid that I'll disappear if he blinks his eyes Napakurap ako. “Jacob…” mahina kong tawag. His eyes softened slightly. “Yes?” Napakagat ako sa labi, biglang nahiya sa sarili kong tanong. Pero hindi ko iyon napigilan. “Why… why are you stopping?” tanong ko sa mababang boses. Hindi ko kasi maintindihan kung bakit hanggang doon lang siya... when he could have just taken advantage of mine vulnerability. He was already on top of me, he already did half undressed me.. but he didn't push too far. And as I was waiting for his response... I saw how his expression didn’t change... So I continued. “You had the chance,” I whispered. “I was already--" Naputol ang sasabihin ko nang maki

XAVIER SANTIAGO’S POV Mariin kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko habang minamasahe ang sentido ko. The headache had been there for days now. Hindi na iyon nawawala, at sa lamesa ko ay palaging may kape. Parang minu-minuto yata akong nagpapa-refill. Wala na akong naging pahinga, at kahit makatulog man lang ng ilang minuto ay hindi ko magawa. At hindi na ako umaalis sa swivel chair ko at nakaharap lamang sa laptop. My eyes slowly opened, staring blankly at the financial reports scattered across my desk. Numbers. Red figures. Loss projections. Delayed assets and frozen accounts. Mariin kong naigting ang panga ko. All of this didn't make any sense. Hindi ganito kahina ang Santiago Estate para basta-basta matinag ng ganito. Ilang dekada nang nakatayo ang kompanya ng pamilya namin. We survived market crashes. Political shifts. Economic recessions. And now suddenly.... this happens? Biglaang nagkaroon ng financial instability? Hindi ito normal. Hindi ito aksidente. So
