Chapter 18
EINILLE finally agreed to meet Vale’s parents. Vale sent her home to be prepared. She decided to give him another chance. He was sorry, and she forgave him. She reasoned out that nobody was perfect. She only made sure that such an incident with Meja would not happen again.
She composed herself while inside the car. She was feeling uneasy. She had an idea that Vale came from a well-off family. What if his parents wouldn’t like her?
Einille filled her lungs with oxygen before entering the Grefaldeo’s mansion. Vale offered his arm, and she held it tight.
Their house was a three-story building with a spacious roof deck. She silently swooned to the paintings hanged inside.
The helpers greeted them, and from there, she plastered a warm smile on her face.
“This is my father’s ancestral house. I just had it renovated. My parents would stay here while in the Philippines. I have two other brothers, both living in C

“WITH that smile of yours, I knew something happened,” Shari said the following day while on their breakfast. She held a cigarette while drinking a black coffee, “Did you sleep with Vale last night?” she flashed a teasing smile.“No! Don’t give me that look.” She giggled.“I don’t believe you. Tell me, is Vale yummy? On a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, where would you put him? How about the girth size?”Einille laughed, “You’re crazy. Nothing happened. And even if we did, I don’t kiss and tell.”“So, you’re keeping secrets from me.” Shari blew a cloud of smoke to her side.“I am just happy, and I deserve this, right?” she drank her tea, “How about you and Mazareno?”“We’re doing good!”“Good to hear that.”Einille told her cousin about Vale’s

VALE asked her to join in touring around the well-known tourist spots in Sorsogon. Einille was excited since she badly needed to unwind as well. Their relationship went fine so far. Vale gave her all the attention she needed even without asking for it.“Happy monthsary, Sweetheart!” Vale cheerfully greeted her when they reached the Laug Fish Sanctuary. He had food for the fish in his hand.“Monthsary? Are you serious?” she giggled. She never counted the day since they became an official couple because it was not a big deal for her.It had been a month indeed. But a monthly celebration was not her thing, except if anniversary.“This is an important day. Of course, I counted!”“Monthsary is for kids. It’s giving me bad omen that we wouldn’t reach an anniversary.”“Everything that has connections in our relationship is special.” His eyes traveled to a floating

VALE silently cursed. A black sedan had been tailing him from the restaurant where they ate. He didn’t mention it because Einille was somehow traumatized during the last shooting encounter. Whoever this bastard, the target was him not Einille.He alerted himself and snatched his gun from the compartment. He hastened the car, but the sedan caught up. He decided not to go straight home. He had to know the identity of his pursuer.Vale parked the car on the sidewalk. He assessed the situation and peered to the dashcam if someone would go out from the car behind. But it stayed at a safe distance from his location.He immediately called Rab and asked for a reinforcement. He waited a bit longer until he noticed the black sedan pulled over and left. Its driver must have had grasped that he called for an aid. Because after a few minutes, two patrol cars came and police big bike where Rab rode.“What happened?” Rab sounded worried.

THE next morning, Einille woke up with her husband’s hand wrapped around her from behind. She turned around to look at his handsome face while in his slumber. It had been a week since the day they got married. And she would not trade this happiness for anything in this world.She carefully got up. She was off-duty today, and she had a lot of time to make a good meal for her husband. Usually, he would cook for her. Vale spoiled her so much. And she didn’t want to get used to it. She wanted to serve him, too.Einille was in the midst of cooking fried rice when her cellphone rang. The number was unregistered. Her one brow raised because she knew who it might be. And she was right because she received a text message when she didn’t answer the call.This is Hero. I guess the honeymoon is over. You need to meet me because I have to tell you something about your husband. And the threats surrounding you.She didn’t r

“TELL me what I need to know?” Einille asked Hero straightly. She just arrived at the restaurant where he instructed her to meet.Hero didn’t bother to answer her yet. He urged her to eat the food before he would explain everything.Einille didn’t press him. Hero casually ate his food while she never bothered to touch anything on the table. She was already fuming.“I’m just preparing you for all the things I need to spill. Toughen up. You really need it.” Hero drank the pineapple juice then slowly shake it as if arranging the ice cubes.She gritted her teeth, “I didn’t meet you here to exchange pleasantries. I still don’t forgive you for ruining my life.” She glared at him. The man still looked unbothered.“I know I caused you this mess. And I’m really sorry, I mean it. I don’t wish you to forgive me because I dragged you into a greater danger aside fr

EINILLE had been crying for a while now. She couldn’t forget what just happened. Why she had to go through this? Or maybe she deserved this after all. She was so gullible and stupid. She suffered this kind of fate because she always prioritized her heart.“Hey, that’s enough. You will not accomplish anything if you continue sulking. Better if you talk with your husband, he’ll explain everything.” Shari caressed her back because she wouldn’t stop her sob.“He just used me. I hate him. I trusted him my life!”“You’re just blinded by your anger. You know Vale loves you. I can tell, just by looking the way she gazes on you.”“I doubt it. That was just part of his plan!”“Talk to him first before you make any decision. But did it ever cross in your mind that he violated the protocol of his mission when he marries you? If he is a high-ranking official of NIC

THE test result just came in time. Other officials gathered inside the laboratory. Even Hero was just staring at her intently. He appeared flustered.“Is he positive either on Methamphetamine or Tetrahydrocannabinol?” General Blanco asked, referring to illegal drugs.Einille looked down and shook her head, “Negative, Sir.”The old man nodded. He immediately gave an order to bring Hero into the Regional Office.Einille arranged the documents, and the General gave her a separate order. “Join the security team. You need to personally present the test results.”“Yes, Sir!” she gave him a salute.“Carry on, be careful.”Einille rode the patrol car, following the vehicle where Hero was contained. The security was tight since Hero was considered a high profile.She was not bothered at all. She had been doing this before, only that she felt bored. She had a lot o

“THIS is all your fault, Hero! If you weren’t stupid because of that woman, we wouldn’t be in this mess!” said the man from the center.Everybody was ready to fire up, pointing the gun at each other. Einille was puzzled because Hero was at their side this time.Einille’s body was shaking involuntarily because of exhaustion. It was Hero whom she saw at her side the moment she opened her eyes after the ambush. She thought it was her end. But she found out that Hero was also the reason she was still alive until now.“It’s not my fucking fault! I never betrayed the organization.” Hero’s eyes glowed in anger.Einille felt the firm touch of Vale in her hand. She gave a furtive glance to her gun. She had not reloaded yet!The man from the center went berserk. He pulled the trigger aimed at Vale.Vale jumped on the side, and the bullet landed on his right thigh. He fired back, and t
