Wika ko rito at saka lumingon sa pinto ng kwarto ko. “Grabe ka na, mare.” Sagot nito. “Nag-cheat na nga sayo ang tao, binigyan mo pa ng pagkakataon.” “He’s gonna prove himself daw eh.” Sagot ko pabalik. “Malay mo diba-” “Once a man cheats, he will always cheat.” Saad niya. “And you can’t change a man who cheated on you, Sami.” Akmang sasagot pa ako rito nang tumunog ang cellphone ko na nasa nightstand, na naging dahilan rin upang kunin ko iyon.

Failure was data. “We will not fail again,” he said. “We will learn our lesson. That boy Thorne made an error; he chose to spill his coin on a single act of conscience. He will be bypassed by our next move. We have better men now — or we will make them into better. We will harness quiet people and make them necessary. We will create a scaffolding of lies so complex that tearing it down will exhaust even their best hearts.”

Bella was stronger than I could ever be, she was both a mother and father to Dylan and that inspired me to fuel my relations. Watching Angelica resting her head on the nook of Bella's neck, I could not imagine another route my life could have taken. Having been through the ups and the downs of life, I finally realize that happiness is what truly matters not money although it helps not to struggle financially. My mind went back to the man I was years ago and a pang of regret hits me. Those were my demons that no one accepted, not even Angelica's mother. Only time would tell if this woman who, unknowingly has weaved her way into my heart would accept me for what I am. Or what I was.

“Now you’ve fallen—you’ve lost everything you were meant to be—just because of me!” He pulled back just enough to look me in the eyes, his gaze full of love and quiet certainty. “Haven’t I fallen hard enough? Long before I lost my wings… I had already fallen completely for you. And that fall was far deeper, far more real, and far more permanent than anything else I could ever experience.”

said Professor Alex pleasantly. “I will announce something important to all of us. But first I will explain our current situation. You must know that the world is getting out of control. Last night, I chatted with a board member from the Hope organization. They think that if the world will collapse soon and within two months, seventy percent of the human population will become terrible creatures due to the 'S' virus,” said Professor Alex in a serious tone. All members of the Jaguar team listened carefully to Professor Alex's words.

Lena whispered, her voice tinged with disbelief and apprehension. Stephanie closed the distance between them, her voice lowered to a confidential tone. "Trust me, Lena, I've been through it myself," she confided, her words carrying personal experience. "Men are masters of strategy and manipulation. Don't let his words deceive you. If it happens again, know that he is cheating, and don't let him use his charm to sway you. We women need to be smarter than that."

Fear pressed against me like a physical weight, and yet even in that moment, I felt the pull of him—the fire, the danger, the undeniable draw I couldn’t resist. He moved first. Steps measured, confident, calm. A smirk tugged at his lips. “You shouldn’t have come here,” he said, voice low, dangerous. The men laughed, dismissive, underestimating him. Big mistake. Without warning, he shifted, closing the distance between them with a predator’s grace. I watched, breath caught, as the men faltered, unsure of how to face someone who radiated danger like a living weapon. Every instinct screamed awe, fear, and desire all at once.

The letters curled and formed elegantly across the black stone: Professor Claymen. Then he turned and gave a small smile, his voice deep and smooth. “Welcome to Eidolon Academy. I am Professor Claymen, and this is Magical Theory and History. I assure you, we will get to the magic…but only once your brains are properly armed.” A few students groaned. I smiled. Professor Claymen clasped his hands behind his back and began to pace slowly. “Let’s start with the event that shattered our realms, the Fall of the Pantheon. Roughly one thousand years ago, the divine balance of the world was upended when the Pantheon of gods was…slaughtered.”

I set my phone down, screen face-down, and returned to my steak, swallowing the rage building in my throat. “You know,” I said, sipping my wine, “men like that always baffle me.” Alan tilted his head. “Men like what?” “Men who have women who built homes with them, who bore their children, sacrificed careers and time… only for the same men to go around, chasing girls young enough to be their daughters.” He chuckled, but I wasn’t smiling. “I’ve seen too many empires collapse because the men running them forgot that character is also capital.” Alan dabbed his lips with his napkin. “Well said.”

Then at the warriors surrounding the mansion. “This isn’t over.” Kael growled. “No.” “It’s just getting started.” Mark raised his hand. The Hollowfangs immediately fell into formation around him. Then, with one final look at Nova, Mark turned toward the mansion. “Fall back.” The Hollowfangs followed him inside. Kael watched them disappear. Nova stood beside him, breathing hard. “He’s running.” Kael shook his head. “No.” His eyes remained fixed on the mansion. “He’s planning something.”
