LEVIATHAN LANGLEY POV
"We have a problem." She put the folders on my table then flattened her palms on it. "You have no longer a slot for the judge because all of the judges are the alliances of the one who planned the pitfall for the fighters. Planado na ang lahat, L."
I smirked. "Then, we just need to kill that judge."
"What? Are you insane?" pasigaw na bulong niya sa akin habang nanlalaki ang mga mata.
"Nah. Trust me. After we kill that man, it'll be easier for me to deceive the other judges."
Honestly, there's no certainty to what came out to my mouth. Hindi ko man lang iyon pinag-isipan. Ang tanging nasa isip ko lang ay ang maging judge at iligtas ang babaeng iyon.
"No, L. Our job here is to protect–"
"How can we protect that fighter if I'm not going to be a judge?"
"Then, be a fighter inst
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV Wearing my favorite turtle neck sweater and black leather skirt paired with stiletto bootie, I confidently made my way to my office next to my bedroom. Binuksan ko ang pinto at bumungad sa akin si Anderson na nakade-kuwatro, puffing a smoke from his expensive cigar. "Glad to see that you're wearing clothes now." I eye him as I continue to walk towards my desk and swivel chair. "You know that I respect and value you so much." "Talaga lang ha? May natitira ka pa palang kahihiyan diyan sa katawan mo sa dinami-rami ng pagkakataon na nakita kitang hubo't-hubad at nangangabayo," sarkastikong sabi ko naman but then again, he just laughed at me. "Well, what do you expect? Why don't you just join my company with your man or be like me?" "Seriously, Anderson?" Raising my left eyebrow, I gave him a cold look.
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVI parked my Ferrari outside of the formidable edifice with many storeys. I removed my aviator glasses and put my mask on. It's already quarter to nine in the morning kaya medyo tirik na ang araw. I'm not used to be seen in daylight with my other identity but I don't have a choice. I promised Finn last night that I need to talk to their Boss as soon as possible.Kinuha ko ang revolver sa dashboard at inilagay sa loob ng boots na gamit ko ngayon bago tuluyang lumabas ng sasakyan. I darted my gaze to the words written in front of the building.Akeldama Org., the infamous organization owned by the Draycot clan. Kung pagmamasdan mo ang gusaling ito ay para lang siyang isang normal na kompanya na may magandang pamamalakad at transaksiyon. But once you enter and get to know the heart of the company, you'll know the hidden dirty and illegal acts behind the beautiful facade of the buildin
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"Someone's afraid of death, aren't they?"F*cking old dog! Kailangan niya ba talagang maging epal sa lahat ng bagay na sangkot ako? Ano ganyan niya ba suriin ang pagkatao ko?"Why would I when I'm already killing you a thousand times in my head?"He's always sabotaging me since I came to this organization. This is my chance and I wouldn't let him take it away from me again. Not this time. Kung puwede lang talagang patayin siya, bakit hindi? Well, he always gets on my nerves, but I also found comfort in his stupidity and mad face."But couldn't do it in person because of cowardice."I raised my left eyebrow. "Still couldn't get enough of my beating, huh? Why don't we take it to the next level to prove myself again for countless f*cking times?"Umiwas naman ng tingin sa akin si Finn habang inaayos a
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"I like you."While waiting for the elevator, Brody leaned his back against the wall as he crossed his arms on his chest. Gumalaw ang mata ko para makita siya sa peripheral vision ko. He's smirking like an idiot while giving me a thorough look. Ibinalik ko na lang ulit sa pinto ng elevator ang tingin ko, showing no respect to him. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na nakasunod pala siya sa akin."Is that important?" walang gana ko namang tugon. Man, I'm not interested in you. Get f*cking lost already.He chortled. "Now, I'm starting to like you even more."Tumunog ang elevator kaya agad na akong pumasok sa loob, ignoring him. Sunod siyang pumasok habang nakangiti pa rin. I maintained my compusure and imagined that he's not here. Too bad, he can talk."Matagal ka na ba sa amin?"Nanatili akong tahimik, n
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POV"Someone invited you in a fight."I sighed. "By whom?""One of the judges. Guess, you made an impact, huh? Well, that's my niece and I'm always proud in everything she does."Napataas ako ng kilay at ibinaba na lang ulit ang kamay."So?"He let out a laugh again. "Masyado ka talagang masungit, Allisa. Baka madali mong ikabagsak iyan. Careful, darling.""Oh, Anderson. It will never happen. So, just get straight to the point, you motherf*cker," kalmado pero may diin na sabi ko.This man has the tendency to talks in circles and I f*cking hate it. I'm too impatient to wait for his nonsense news especially when it comes to a fight. He's the one accepting calls for me and arranges an event for a fight as Sam."I told you to stop calling me that. You're really a
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVI arrived in Turin at 8 AM in the morning. Almost twenty-one hours ang biyahe at masyado iyong matagal sa kagaya kong mainipin. It's like I wasted one day of my life doing nothing. This is what I hate the most when having a trip outside of the country.Ang Hotel Principi di Piemonte ang nakuhang hotel ng sekretarya ko since fully booked na sa ibang hotel dahil sa dami ng dumadayo. A month of February here in Turin has a cold weather and it's the best time to visit too, that's why. Buti na lang ay nakahabol pa siya sa bookings.I decided to take a walk on a busy street from the hotel to the Egyptian artifacts being displayed at the Museo Egizio. Gusto ko munang libangin ang sarili ko kahit papaano at sulitin ang pananatili ko rito hindi lang dahil sa laban.While looking at the artifacts, someone tried to strike a conversation with me."Se
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVKinilabutan ako sa pagdampi ng hininga at balat niya sa balat ko lalo na nang may biglang alaalang pumasok sa isip ko. Napamulat ako at agad siyang hinarap."What the f*ck is your problem?"The side of his lips rose before offering his hand for a handshake, I guess. I looked at his hand with a poker face then back to his freaking annoying face."Come on, it's just a friendly hand shake. Wala naman sigurong mawawala kapag tinanggap mo, hindi ba?"Bahagya akong nagulat sa biglaan niyang pag-Tagalog pero hindi ko iyon pinahalata. Guess, he's really a Filipino, huh? Baka half-half? Well, it doesn't matter!"How did you know that I'm a Filipino?" mapanuring tanong ko sa kanya."Instinct." He just shrugged his shoulders, hindi pa rin binababa ang kamay.Napatitig ako sa kanya. I'm q
SENA ALLISA MCMILLAN POVInunahan niya ako sa paglalakad kaya napabuntong-hininga na lang ako. Himala, hindi na siya nangulit pa. I just shrugged it off and followed his path. Balak ko naman talaga na puntahan ang mga ganoong lugar. Lulong ako sa mga nakaraan kaya gustong-gusto ko ang mga bagay at lugar na itinayo at namuhay noon. It's so beautiful yet mysterious and fearsome for me."It's quarter to one. Let's eat our lunch first. There's a lot of good restaurants here," mungkahi niya habang nakatingin sa wrist watch niya.Dalawang lugar palang ang napupuntahan namin at hindi namin namalayan ang oras. Hinayaan lang namin ang mga sarili namin na malunod sa mangha ng ganda ng lugar without talking to each other. That's what you call a peace of mind with a calm surrounding. Hindi ko rin naramdaman ang gutom."Sure."Naglakad na ulit kami palabas ng Diocesan Museum.
