Refusing to be Owned Chapter 8: DINNER NIGHT
Besides being called as a cold-eyed man, it is also widely known that he is a womanizer. Rumors have it that he never slept twice with the same woman. On that note, why was he looking for me, a woman whom he already slept with?Umalis na ang sundalo ngunit nang makalayo na ito'y nakita kong lumingon ito upang tingnan uli sina Asteria at Zeke. He can feel that something is off about the pair pero napagpasyahan niyang 'wag ng makialam pa lalo na't isang Zeke Devereaux ang kasama ng babae.Nang makalayo ng ilang hakbang sa lalaki, Asteria siezed this chance to run away from him."Wait!" Habol ni Zeke."Bwesit, bwesit, bwesit talaga!" Usal ni Asteria habang matuling tumatakbo.She had waisted ten minutes of her time there and there's a high chance now that she might miss her target.Sumuot si Asteria sa grupo ng mga tao at tuluyang naglaho sa paningin ni Zeke. Nang marating ni Zeke ang gitna ng dance floor ay hindi na niya nakita maging anino man lang ng babae."Damn it!" Nagbuga siya ng h

While driving along the road where my target is supposed to be, may nadaanan akong isang building. Nakapaskil sa taas ng entrance nito ang isang signage where the words The Black Pearl is illuminated by led lights.That was it. I stepped on the brake at ipinarada ang motor sa back alley ng building. I've reached the restaurant where Erwin Alvarez is supposed to be having a dinner with someone whom he had a business transaction with.The goal of this mission is to kill Erwin Alvarez. Isa siyang key figure sa gobyerno ng Estria. Bukod sa pagiging pinuno ng Reform partylist ay siya rin ang pinapa-handle ng Ministry of Defense sa arms dealing.At ayon sa intel na nakuha ng grupo namin, nandito ngayong gabi sa The Black Pearl restaurant si Mr. Alvarez upang makipagmeet-up sa isang dealer. It is my mission to stop it because those guns and bombs are what's going to kill my compatriots if I fail.In the note from the box given to me by Oliver was Alvarez bkack sedan's plate number.

Refusing to be Owned Chapter 10: Predator and Prey
"I heard that you're finally planning to get married."Muntik pang mabulunan si Zeke nang marinig ito mula sa kanyang Uncle Erwin na akala niya nakalimot ng bumanggit ng mga bagay patungkol sa kanya.Zeke didn't answer yet he smiled awkwardly habang binalingan ng masamang tingin ang amang nagkibit-balikat lamang.So the news of his marriage already reached the ears of his Uncle Erwin. He thought.Ipinagkalat na ito ng magaling niyang ama upang lalong dumagdag ang pressure sa part niya."I have sent you dozens of files of young and unmarried women coming from different prominent families here in Noirville pero ni isa'y wala kang pinili sa kanila..." May tono ng panghihinakit sa boses ni Mr. Alvarez."I know you put a lot of effort and attention to that Uncle and I appreciate you for that, but—""Is there a woman?" Naputol ang pagsasalita ni Zeke nang tanungin siya nito."Wha—...I mean no, there's no one." He managed ro recover from being questioned unguarded.His Uncle have always been
Refusing to be Owned Chapter 11: The Victor
My eyes rounded as soon as I opened the door and saw that someone was out here waiting for me.Shivers ran down into my body as he forced me to step backwards. We are now back inside the ladies room. Without looking back, he locked the door behind him.I gulped. "What are you doing?". Matigas kong tanong.His eyes looked at me eerily, his lips twitching into a dangerous smile. "Making sure na hindi mo na ulit ako matatakasan."I supressed the feeling of tension in my stomach. Tumalim ang tingin ko sa kanya. "Step away"With eyes either lying or saying the truth, he then smiled."Relax honey, I'm here to help you."Umalingawngaw ang pangungusap na iyon sa aking tenga at nang matauhan na ako'y nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa tabi ko sa loob ng isang kotse.His eyes darted on my face. Inaabangan ang bawat ekspresiyon na ipipinta ng mukha ko."What were you thinking?""Nothing" I replied drily at sabay umiwas ng tingin.I heard his subtle scoff. Ibinaling ko ang pansin sa senaryo sa labas ng
Refusing to be Owned Chapter 12: Nicole Orlov
"I'm glad the negotation with Mr. Deschamps went well" Saad ni Mr. Devereux ng may ngiti sa kanyang labi. "I'm sorry I had to put that burden on you" He added apologetically."Don't worry about that Uncle, the conversation went pretty smoothly kaya hindi ako nahirapan." Nicole assured him.Nicole Orlov, daughter of Nile Devereux's friend. Bago pa man naging may ari ng Insight si Nile ay kilala niya na ang ama ni Nicole. Magkapitbahay ang kanilang pamilya noon sa Lexington bago lumipat ang pamilya ni Nile sa Noirville—Estria's capital city.Nicole is like a daughter to him. Nicole is known to the public as the only woman who can get close to Zeke. Nicole understands Zeke's personality and can play along pretty well with his occasional capriciousness.They form a pretty good couple, kaya naman nang pilitin ng ama na mag asawa si Zeke ay hindi niya maikakaila na hinangad niyang si Nicole ang pipiliin ng anak. Ngunit hindi ito ang napupusuan ni Zeke and he doesn't want to force his son t
Refusing to be Owned Chapter 13: Deal? or No Deal?
As Zeke stood there, facing Nicole's barrage of questions and emotions, his expression remained stoic, almost unreadable. The air around them felt heavy with tension, each word hanging in the air waiting for a response.Zeke took a moment, his gaze shifting between Nicole and Asteria, as if weighing his words carefully. Finally, he let out a sigh, his shoulders slumping ever so slightly."I... I have made my choice Nicole," he started, his voice soft but firm. "And I asure you that I am not being forced like what you think."Natigilan si Nicole. She felt her heart sink at his words, a sting of disappointment coursing through her. Sa kalooban niya'y inaasahan niyang "hindi" ang isasagot ni Zeke sa kanyang tanong. Nicole felt a lump form in her throat, the weight of Zeke's words bearing down on her. She wanted to protest, to shake some sense into him, but she knew deep down that it was futile. Zeke had made up his mind, and nothing she said could change that."Fine," she replied, her v
Refusing to be Owned Chapter 14: New Mission
"Asteria!"Umalingawngaw ang boses ng isang lalaki sa aking pandinig ngunit hindi ko ito binigyan ng pansin. Nanghihina at nanlulumo ang katawan ko sa eksenang nakatambad sa akin. Duguan at wala ng buhay, mga katawan ng aming kapwa sundalo na nawalan ng buhay matapos magkaroon ng sneak attack ang military forces ng Estria sa kampo na min na naka base malapit sa border. I felt suffocation creeping and swallowing my chest making my breathing rough and painful. From the distance, I could hear the roaring sounds of gunfires, bombings, panicked screams of soldiers, and the desperate cries of my fellow countrymen.I was pulled out of my reverie nang maramdaman ko ang mabigat at mahigpit na hawak ng dalawang kamay sa aking balikat. "Asteria! Pull yourself together!" He sounded angry but I saw concern when I looked into his murky eyes."Oliver..." Mahina kong bulong"Stop daydreaming Asteria!" He shouted at my face, masyadong malakas na parang nabingi ako. "Pick up your gear and gun," his v
