Winner Takes All Novels & Stories

The connecting bridge bended down, preventing them from going back. Minerva met the daring stare of the five-member opponent team standing across them.

"Paki-explain ng mga narinig namin. Totoo ba ang mga iyon?" "Yes, it's true." Isa-isang niyang tinitigan ang tatlo niyang kaibigan. "Ang totoo niyan... hindi ako nanalo, Adair kundi ako ang talo. Hindi ko tatanggapin ang bet prizes. Kunin niyo, itapon niyo o i-donate ay wala akong pakialam. I don't want all the bet prizes on this world because I have already the most beautiful prize that I ever had." 'His Sinnerita. His girlfriend.'

sigaw niya at kasunod nito ay ang malakas na tawa. “As if I will let that to happen.” sabi nito na ikinangiti ko. That’s what I want to hear from her ang ipaglaban ako. “Ofcourse, you don’t want it to happen. Saan kana kukuha ng pera? Poor you. Remember, everything has an end bitch.” “And I am at the end already. I am the end game. I’m the winner and you’re the loser. Accept it or accept it you choose.”

Halata rin sa mukha nya na hindi maganda ang deal na iaalok nya. "If we win, suck me." Biglang sabi nya dahilan para nanlalaking mata na mapatingin ako sa kanya. "Great deal, right? If you win, you'll get your trophy back. If you lose, you'll get the chance to suck my d*** at para ka na ring nanalo. Aren't I nice?" Lalong umusbong ang inis at galit sa dibdib ko.

"You have to win three games in order to get a free pass in the hotel and enjoy your stay there. Of course, whenever you win a game, the prizes will either be a game console, bag, shoes, and other items that are all limited edition. Take note that it was not easy for me to get all of these items." Nikos clasped his hands.

"Didn't you say whoever comes first will win?" "But, I should be the winner kung di kita binalikan." Hannah continued on teasing, "Kasalanan ko ba? Did I tell you to go back and check on me? It's just a trick and you fall for it.” Nakabusangot na si Jake alam niyang tama ang sinabi ng kalaro niya. Hannah grinned and approached him. "A deal is a deal, ako ang nanalo kaya may pipingutin ako ngayon ng limang beses.”

(Music: Drum roll) Candidate number 13, Miss Natanya Fabroa- “ NO! This can’t be happening. I am the WINNER!” Natigil ang lahat ng biglang may sumigaw. Tumutok ang spotlight sa sumigaw. “This is all a lie. I am the real winner here. How on earth that that b*tch won over me. Maybe somebody sabotage the result because there was a power outage before. That, Natanya b*tch, sabotage the result.” pinaratangan ni Ronila si Natanya na nandaya. Dinuro duro pa niya eto habang nasa stage.

Agad na tumalon-talon ang anak ni Greta sa tuwa. "We have a winner! Congratulations, Blue team! Come and claim your price!" sigaw ng announcer. Mas lumakas ang sigawan sa baybay.

Hindi sa lahat ng panahon ay ikaw ang mananalo! Inggetera!"

"B-Bakit pamilyar ka sa amin? Parang nakita na namin ang galaw mo!" Matagal na yun para maalala nila ang bagay na yun. At hindi pa dumating ang isang oras ay natumba na silang lahat at napatulala na lang silang lahat at malakas na inanunsyo na ako ang nanalo. "The winner of this night is Nyx!" Doon nila na-realize ang nangyayari. "Siya ang totoong nagmamay-ari ng Nyx na code name! So ibig sabihin siya ang matagal nang nawawala na Princess of assassin!"

“Ayoko sa lahat ng manggagamit.” Sandaling katahimikan. Hanggang sa tinawag ulit ako. “Carmella del Valle!” “Winner announcement na!” sigaw ni organizer. Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa damit ko. --- ON STAGE… “Okay, the winner will receive 50,000 pesos!” Palakpakan. “Winner is…” Huminga ako nang malalim. Hindi dahil sa pera. Kundi dahil sa pangarap.
