Odette's POVHindi ko nagugustuhan ang takbo ng laro. Malaki na ang lamang ni Roman kumpara kay Nathan. Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ba ni Nathan na magpatalo lalo na't siya naman ang nag-suggest ng laro nila.“Looks like I’m winning this game," aroganteng sabi ni Roman. "The game isn't done yet,” sagot ni Nathan. “You don't know but the tables might turn." “I really like your confidence," humalakhak naman si Roman. Hmm… why don't we have a drink first?" Itinaas niya ang kamay at lumapit naman ang isa sa kaniyang tauhan at binulungan ito. Pagkatapos ay lumabas ito ng kwarto. I looked at them, I’m not into playing poker but I know a little about it. If I’m correct, they are on the last betting for the final round, in which the last card will be dealt. Both Richard and Oakley's underling folded their cards, hence, the game was between Roman and Nathan.I stand up to look at the community cards on the table, the order of the cards starts from 7 of spades, Queen of diamonds, Jack of d

Odette's POV “Great job, as always," Master smiled as he held the jewelry box containing the ring. Maaga pa lang ay bumalik na ako rito sa mansion ni Master kasama si Thunder. Naramdaman ko ang titig sa akin ni Thunder kaya't sinalubong ko ito. Inangatan ko siya ng kilay ngunit agad din niyang iniwas ang tingin. Napailing na lang ako dahil sa inaakto niya. "If there's nothing left to talk about, then, allow me to take my leave, Master,” saad ni Thunder. “Ah, yeah. Both of you are dismissed.” Yumuko lang si Thunder bilang huling paalam bago umalis ng office ni Master. "I’ll go ahead, Master,” paalam ko rin at lumabas na. Sinundan ko si Thunder, sakto namang kababa niya lang ng hagdan at patungo sa main door. "Thunder!” tawag ko sa kaniya habang dali daling bumaba sa hagdan. Tumigil naman siya at hinintay ako hanggang sa makalapit sa kaniya. "Can we talk?” He crossed his arms, indicating that he doesn't want to have a conversation with me, “What?” I exhaled deeply be

Odette's POV Napaayos ako ng upo dahil sa narinig, “Wait, did I heard it right? You want me,” turo ko sa aking sarili, "...to seduce your father? And kill him?” “Hmm…” sagot niya habang tumatango pa.I scoffed at him, “Then, why not just kill him directly?”“Nah, I can't do that.”Napataas naman ang kilay ko sa kaniya, “Why?”“I think he already has a hint about my plan so he's tightening his own security and narrowing it with those who he only trusts. Even if I strike silently, he will know it came from me," seryoso niyang paliwanag. “Then, what's the difference if I do it?" “He is a womanizer, he will surely lower his guard on you," sagot niya sa akin. “My preparation is not done yet, and I need you to buy me some time. I need you to distract him from striking first.”“And what makes you think that he will not suspect me?” Tinignan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa, “That’s why I recruited the best con artist to work for me."Napaiwas ako ng tingin, hindi ko alam pero biglang nag-

Odette's POV “Yeah,” sagot ko sa tanong ni Nathan.“Why are you sitting there?”“Nothing, I’m just relaxing, you know,” ngayon ay tiningala ko na siya, ngunit agad ko ring iniharang ang kamay ko ng bahagyang masilaw sa sinag ng araw. “Come here, sit down,” pag-aalok ko sa kaniya.Tumayo pa siya ng ilang minuto hanggang sa naupo na siya sa tabi ko. Katahimikan ang namutawi sa aming dalawa. Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa harap at pinagmasdan ang mga tao, ang iba ay naliligo sa dagat, mayroong sumusubok ng water activities gaya ng jet skiing, kayaking, banana boat at iba pa. Mayroon ding naglalaro ng beach volleyball, nag-iihaw sa may cottage, naglalarong mga bata, at mayroon ding kumukuha ng pictures nila.“I've extended our stay here,” biglang nagsalita si Nathan.Nagtaka naman ako, “Eh? For what?”“Just treat this as a short vacation,” huling sinabi ni Nathan at tumayo na. “Let’s go," inilahad niya ang kaniyang kamay sa akin.“Where are we going?” tanong ko sa kaniya.Inikot niya ang ting
