Hindi man nito direktang sinasabi pero parang may nalalaman na ito at binabantaan siya. Napatingin siya kay Jezel, na halos mawalan ng kulay ang mukha. “Gary… ano ang ibig mong sabihin? May tinatago ka bang ayaw mong malaman ko? I think you’re crossing the line.” Isang mahinang tawa ang narinig niya. “Oh sweetheart, I crossed that line a long time ago.” “What do you mean?”

His expression darkened instantly. “Damian crossed a line.” “You probably just started a war.”

Her breath caught. There it was—just beneath her left breast—dark ink etched into her skin, H. A symbol she didn't recognize. A mark she hadn't asked for.

Nagbabaga iyun at punum-puno ng poot. "My clan and my gang never-we never cross our path with yours. We know the boundaries and our limits." "Is that your assumption?"
