Madness Definition

"Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I've been saying!" Mikan said, annoyed. "Why do you still refuse to break up with that Jiro? What does he have?" "M, it's normal for lovers to have disagreements," I replied calmly. "K, he's always the one causing issues. Aren't you tired of it?" Selena asked me. I shook my head. "I understand him, girls. Sometimes I'm moody too. Maybe his temper just flared up at the wrong time." I've been defending Jiro to them since we started dating in my second year of high school, and now we're in our fourth year of college. We had another argument recently, and I've been apologizing to him since the other day, even though I didn't know what I did wrong. But he hasn't been answering any of my texts or calls. So tonight, even though I didn't want to go with them to the Spade Club, I had no choice because they dragged me along. I just hope Jiro doesn't find out about this because he doesn't like it when I go clubbing without him. It might make him even angrier. "I think there's nothing we can do about Kylie. She's head over heels for Jiro," Ariana said. Ariana isn't this quiet usually when she's drunk. They all laughed while I forced a smile. Go ahead, laugh at me, but when you fall in love, I'll be rolling on the floor laughing. "Alright, cheers to Kylie's love madness," Mikan raised her shot glass, and A and S followed suit, while I watched them. I just sighed. "Hey! K, don't be a killjoy. Come on, raise your shot glass!" Selena shouted at me because the music was loud in the Spade Club. It was already ten in the evening.

Raquel Aguas is the definition of spoiled. Wala siyang inatupag kundi party, shopping, gala, at pagwaldas ng pera ng magulang niya. Wala siyang pakialam sa negosyo, sa future, o kahit sa expectations ng pamilya niya—basta't masaya siya. Pero nang mapuno na ang magulang niya sa kawalang-direksyon niya, tinakot siyang hindi niya makukuha ang mana niya kung hindi siya matutong magpakatao. Dahil sa takot na mawala ang marangyang buhay na nakalaan sa kanya, wala siyang nagawa kundi tanggapin ang kondisyon—ang pumasok sa House of Aguas at tumulong sa kuya niya sa pamamalakad ng kompanya. Sa kasamaang palad, dala lang ni Raquel ang kalat at stress sa opisina. Hindi siya seryoso, laging palpak, at tila ba wala talagang pake. Kaya nagdesisyon ang kuya niyang bigyan siya ng isang project—isang mission na kapag matagumpay niyang nagawa, malaya na siyang bumalik sa dating buhay niya. Kailangan niyang papirmahin ang mayor ng Santa Monica para sa isang malaking proyekto ng House of Aguas Corporation. Sa una'y inakala niyang madali lang iyon. Pero nang makilala niya si Mayor Caelum Argente ay doon siya nagkamali. Guwapo man ito, ngunit masyadong matigas ang prinsipyo. Paulit-ulit siyang binigo at tinanggihan, tila ba sinasadya siyang pahirapan. Habang lumilipas ang mga araw, lalong nawawala ang pasensya niya. Pero dahil desperada siyang matapos ang trabaho at makuha ang kalayaang gusto niya, pilit siyang naghahanap ng paraan para mapasunod ang mayor. Ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang kondisyong kapalit ng pirma nito—isang kondisyon na hindi pera o pabor ang hinihingi, kundi ang maging sex slave siya nito!

The cold seawater engulfs me, its relentless pull dragging me into the abyss. I kick desperately, my lungs burning, but the surface drifts farther and farther away. "Save me, Kane… save our child…" Pain lances through my body as I clutch my stomach, shielding the fragile life within me. The child I never thought I'd have, the child who was supposed to be our blessing. Through the watery haze, I see Kane Porter standing on the jagged cliffs above the shore. His tall, commanding figure is framed by the moonlight, his golden eyes burning with hatred. The alpha of the Nightfall Pack, the man who once whispered my name with reverence, now looks at me like I'm filth beneath his feet. His voice cuts through the roaring waves, sharp and merciless. "Don't think I don't know what you've done, Selene." The currents tug me deeper. My strength wanes, but his words stab deeper than the water ever could. "You drugged me with a philter, hoping to make me mark you—hoping to force your way into the position of my Luna. Because of your selfishness, Arya is gone. You destroyed her mind, pushed her into madness!" A shadow of despair twists across his face, but it vanishes beneath pure fury. "She fell from that cliff because of you." I shake my head, but I can’t speak. The sea is swallowing my voice. "Do you know what it’s like to wake up every day in torment? To live knowing the woman I loved died because of you?" His eyes glint like a wolf ready to tear out his prey's throat. "I want you to feel every ounce of that pain. I want you and your cursed child to die with her." The waves crash above me, and darkness claws at the edges of my vision. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day Kane's philter takes effect. He approaches me, his face flushed and his breathing rapid. He's already undone his buttons. "Hang on, Kane. Arya will be here soon!" I back away and open the door behind me. Then, I run off.
