Discreet Nights Chapter 63: RUAN'S POV
The video testimony was playing in front of me. Evidence such as records, photos from a CCTV footage, and stolen pictures were scattered in front of me above the table. “I just received the video testimony last night. Ilang linggo rin ang kinailangan bago siya nagsalita. Malas lang ng nanay mo dahil kailangan ng pera ng dati niyang tauhan na nakalimutan niya yatang ipapatay.” Victoria Alanis Davion— she doesn't deserve to carry my father's surname. The man exposed everything he knows about the assassination of my father and a little bit of info about Vanda. It was my mother who planned the assassination, personally. It was her who picked the agents who killed my father— her husband. It was her who leaded the death of my father. Tangina. Hindi ko maisip kung papaano niya nasikmurang gawin 'yon sa taong walang ibang ginawa kundi ang mahalin siya. My father never failed to show how she loved my mother— o dapat ko pa ba siya tawagin sa paraang 'yon? Halos hindi ko natapos a
Discreet Nights Chapter 64: RUAN'S POV
I told her everything she wanted and needed to know. From the history of Derrivy, to my connection with Rye, and about the death of my father. Nagpanggap lang ako na hindi ko alam kung sino ang nagpapatay sa tatay ko at sa kapatid niya dahil hindi ko gustong makilala niya ang babaeng 'yon.I promised to give them justice, at hangga't maaari, ayaw ko siyang gumalaw tungkol doon. Alam kong hindi imposibleng damay na siya at kilala na siya ng babaeng 'yon, kaya hangga't kaya ko siyang ilayo ay 'yon ang gagawin ko. Nilinaw ko na rin sa kaniya kung sino ako sa Sleverions at ang pinagkaiba niyon sa katauhan ko sa Derrivy. Hanggang sa mauwi ang usapan tungkol sa aming dalawa at sa mga anak namin.I answered her questions. I told her the things I thought she needed to know. Mula sa unang desisyon ko para sa mga anak namin hanggang sa huli. I showed her the room filled with my collection of photos of her and our twins. Dinala ko rin siya sa isang kuwarto kung nasaan ang isa pa na koleksyon ko

“W-Where are you? Ruan, y-yung mga anak natin—” “D-Don't come here, okay? Stay where you are, Zalaria.” Kinasa ni Rye ang kaniyang baril. Hindi siya nagdalawang isip na itutok 'yon sa direksyon ng nanay ni Zalaria. A silenced gun shot followed, causing the woman to collapse after realizing that the bullet hit the wall just inches away beside her. I quickly signaled my men to come and get her, ngunit naging mabilis ang mga tauhan ng lalaki na 'di hamak na mas malapit sa puwesto ng ginang. Dinala nila ang nanay ni Zalaria sa labas ng kuwarto kung nasaan kami. I dropped the call with Zalaria and threw deadly glares at Rye who was already laughing evily while shaking his head. “Make a move and I won't hesitate to kill these two, dear brother,” he warned. Suddenly, silence enveloped the place. The whole room was hushed, yet the silence only fueled the danger around. The fear inside me was ignited.It was the first time I saw my sons in person, but with guns pointed at them. Nakataas a

“And just like that, we're done!” Zalaria came. For the first time ever, I was in the same room with my sons and her, but all we could do was to stare at each other and talk with our eyes. Hindi ko sila malapitan. Hindi ko sila mahawakan. Hindi ko sila mayakap. Rye made me choose between Zalaria and our twins. I didn't want to choose, handa na akong isuko ang lahat ng meron ako kay Rye huwag lang malayo ang mag-iina ko akin, but Zalaria answered his question for me. “He's choosing his sons over me.”I was released from the ropes ngunit hindi pa rin ako hinayaan ni Rye na makalapit kay Zalaria. I couldn't be careless because my sons were still in danger. It was also the first time I carried Ruin in my arms. Nanginginig pa ang mga braso ko noong mga oras na 'yon habang pinapatahan siya mula sa pag-iyak. It was the weakest point in my life. Hindi ako makapagdesisyon nang maayos sapagkat ang mga anak ko at ang babaeng mahal ko ang nakasalalay. When Zalaria entered the room, it was

Dalawang araw na ang nakalipas simula nang mangyari 'yon. “Your mother must be furious right now. According to our spy, Vanda have lost half of their income globally in just one week.” It was a good sign. Sooner or later posibleng malaman na ng grupo na ang Sleverions ang dahilan kung bakit unti-unting pumapalya ang kanilang mga transactions, ngunit wala akong pakialam. Handa ang grupo ko sa anumang gagawin nila.It was my goal— to make her aware that I would cause her downfall and she would pay for everything she did. Wala siyang magagawa upang maisalba ang lahat ng bagay na akala niyang mananatili sa buhay niya. Iniluwal niya lang ako pero hindi niya ako anak. She was never a mother to me. “Sooner of later, Vanda would lose its assets too.” I couldn't wait for it to happen. Altro and I were talking at the balcony. It was raining outside. Medyo naninibago rin ang mga anak ko sa lugar kaya hindi ako makaalis. Nahihirapan ang mga kinuha kong katulong sa pag-aalaga sa pagpapatahan

“Ikaw ha. Tahimik ka lang pero nakadalawa ka na pala agad,” Cauisent teased me. It was midnight when we celebrated the birthday of my twins. Dahil nga magkaiba sila ng kaarawan at medyo huli na nakarating ang mga inimbita ko ay gano'n na lamang ang nangyari. Nagsimula ang party gabi bago matapos ang kaarawan ni Ruin at natapos madaling araw ng kaarawan ni Aero.We knew the celebration was odd, yet it was also special since sakto talaga ang oras ng party sa oras ng kaarawan ng mga anak ko.I only invited the closest ones to me— Altro, Sever, Alshiro, Caiusent, and Ervo. And yes, it was only six of us in the party together with our twins who slept immediately after blowing their cakes.Galing pa sila sa iba’t ibang bansa at lumipad lang talaga sila para dumalo sa kaarawan ng mga anak ko. They all looked stupid in their tuxedoes, nauwi rin lang naman sa inuman ang party. I'm pretty sure that this wouldn't happen if Zalariaʼs here. Surely it would be a whole different party but Sever an

It didn't take me long to arrive in the place where I would meet Rye. Tahimik sa paligid ng lugar at bihira ang dumadaan na sasakyan. After riding the plane, I drove my own car until here. The small building used to be a café until the owner abandoned it after bankruptcy. Unfortunately, hindi namin 'yon naabutan na bukas. The owner must've forgotten about this place already. Halatang hindi na napupuntahan ng kahit sino. The memories we had in this place are still vivid to me. Ito ang paborito naming tambayan sa tuwing umuuwi ako noon galing Espanya. We liked it here simply because of the silence— away from the chaotic sound of cars and deafening noises of crowd around the city. You could only hear the melodic chirping of birds flying around and the sound of insects hiding somewhere near and far.We would play around here like technology doesn't exist. The happiest moments I have with Rye happened here in this place. Dito niya rin ipinakilala sa akin si Haiver.This is the place wher
Discreet Nights Chapter 70: RUAN'S POV
Exactly that day I have sent Rye the evidence that it was Lemery who planned the accident, and that Creia and his daughter are alive. It took Rye three days to reflect and realize everything. “Tell me about your plan,” he asked through a phone call.“I'm still here in America. Why don't we talk about this in person?”“Send me the location,” he said then ended the call. I sent him the same location where we met three days ago. Wala pang isang oras ang layo niyon sa tinutuluyan ko kaya naman nakarating ako agad doon. What did I do for the past three days here?Inalam ko kung papano gumalaw ang Vanda. With my most trusted connections, hindi naman ako masiyadong nahirapan.At first, I was hesitant to stay here longer because of my sons. However, Sever assured me that I don't need to worry about them. Hindi naman siya nahihirapan sa dalawa dahil alaga niya na ang mga ito dati pa.Dahil doon ay nakampante ako kahit papaano dahil hinding-hindi sila pababayaan ni Sever. Isa pa, kasama rin n
