Raising A Bat Manga

"Ava, now!" Virin's voice sliced through the suffocating darkness, sharp and urgent. My body moved before my mind could catch up, legs burning as I sprinted toward the van where Kyra and Priti waited, their faces pale with terror. "Run! Faster, Ava!" Priti's frantic scream tore through the night, her fists slamming the steering wheel as if sheer willpower could propel me forward. My lungs screamed for air, my legs trembled with exhaustion, but I couldn't stop-not when freedom was just ten steps away. Ten. Nine. Eight- "Ava!" His voice cut through the chaos, low and venomous, freezing me mid-stride. It wasn't a command. It was a threat-a promise of destruction. "If you don't stop right now, I'll kill everyone who dares to stand between us!" The weight of his words coiled around me like chains, choking the air from my lungs. I knew he didn't bluff. I knew what he was capable of. "Not now, Ava! Run!" Virin's desperate voice shattered my paralysis as his grip yanked me forward, dragging me the final agonizing steps to the van. We tumbled inside, slamming the doors shut. For a fleeting moment, I dared to look back. There he stood, his figure looming in the distance, chest heaving with fury. His dark eyes burned with a rage that made my stomach twist. Slowly, he raised a finger, pointing at me. "You are mine," he growled, stabbing the same finger into his chest. Over my dead body. ***** Ava's life once seemed perfect-best friends, a family she adored, and a love that felt like destiny. But perfection shatters. Caught between two men-one who sparks a fire she can't extinguish, and another who offers solace laced with shadows- Ava is thrust into a web of secrets, lies, and dangerous temptations.

"Ganyan ka ba talaga kadesperada, Airith? Pati kapatid ko ay pipikutin mo para lang guminhawa ang buhay mo? Pera lang ba talaga ang habol mo sa isang lalaki?"

Hindi lang iyon, napagdesisyunan pa ni Sebastian na makipaghiwalay sa kanya sa parehong araw na ibabalita niya sana rito ang tungkol sa kanyang pagbubuntis. Makalipas ang dalawang taon, isang araw ay ipinadukot siya ni Stephen, ang nakatatandang kapatid ni Sebastian.

Sa kagustuhang ayusin ang ginawa ng kanyang ama, napagdesisyunan niya na tulungan si Stephen. Kasama ito ay muli siyang nagbalik sa bahay ng pamilya Vergara. Kalaunan, ang akala niyang pekeng kasal nila ni Stephen ay unti-unti na palang nagiging totoo kasabay ng unti-unting pagkahulog ng kanyang loob dito.
