Together We Stand Divided We Fall 소설 & 이야기

Ang init ng aming mga katawan ay nagsimulang tumugon sa isa’t isa, tila ang pagmamahal na ito ang tanging sandata namin laban sa mga banta ng panlabas na panganib. “Wala kang dapat ikatakot basta magkasama tayo,” bulong niya pabalik, habang ipinupulupot ang kanyang mga braso sa aking leeg. “Whatever comes our way, we’ll face it together. We are stronger that way.”

“Because in my world… you either break or learn to bite back.” As the city skyline rose ahead of them, Isla realized this marriage wasn’t just survival anymore—it was war. And she was done playing defenseless.

"Now, spill the damned tea." Tumayo muli ang kaibigan at naglakad papunta sa banyo, kampante naman si Kouen na hindi siya maiintindihan nong babae kahit marinig pa sila nito pero kailangan pa rin niyang magtago. "Gusto ng papa mo na makipag collab ng ammunition business sa mga Lewis—" "Huwag ka nga mag tagalog, nabubulol ka." "Damnit!"

Para matahimik na ang panig namin. “This isn’t just business anymore,” he finally said, eyes on the screen. “This is war.” “And they want to win it by making us fall apart.” He looked at me then, eyes softer. “But they won’t. Because we’re not breaking.” I nodded, the fear inside me slowly turning to fire. “Let’s make them wish they never touched us.” We weren’t just defending our names anymore. We were protecting everything we built—together.

You have given me something that I can't live without You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine The longer we ignore it, all the more that we will fight Please, don't fall apart I can't face your breaking heart I'm trying to be brave Stop asking me to stay

"There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart, But it's no one's fault, no, it's not our fault. Maybe all the plans we made might not work out, But I have no doubt, even though it's hard to see. I've got faith in us, and I believe in you and me." Remembering the day he first met her, the day he saved her, others would think it was a mistake, even Yel. That saving her made her suffer more but Sen would never ever change what he did. If it happens again, he will still make a way for Yel to live. "So, hold on to me tight.
