GRAYSON FIUMARA (Wild Men Series #49) 24
JESSICAMy heart raced with worry as I hung up the phone with Tali, Grayson's secretary. The news she had just delivered sent a jolt of fear coursing through my veins. Grayson, the man I loved and admired above all else, was in danger. Without a second thought, I abandoned my plans for the day and made my way to FiuScent.Grayson and I had been through so much together—his rise to power, his battles, and his triumphs. I had witnessed his coldness, his unwavering determination, and his strength. And through it all, I had been by his side, not just as a friend, or a business partner, nor as his personal lawyer but also as someone who is silently loving him from a far. The depth of my feelings for Grayson went beyond words. He was my rock, the one who understood me like no one else. I had seen the darkness that resided within him, and yet, I loved him fiercely. I admired his resilience, his ability to navigate the treacherous waters of his world with a cold resolve.So when I received

JESSICAHindi ko namalayan na nakaidlip pala ako, umayos ako ng pagkaka-upo dahil nakaramdam ako ng pangangalay. Ang aking mga mata ay nag-adjust sa madilim na ilaw sa loob ng sasakyan. Napatingin ako sa dashboard clock para tignan kung anong oras na."Ala-una na pala..." bulong ko sa sarili, hindi lang pala idlip ang ginawa ko kung'di mahimbing na tulog. Bahagya pa akong napatulala bago ko nilingon si Grayson, na nakaupo sa driver's seat, ang kaniyang mga mata ay nakatutok sa daan. "Ligtas na ba tayo?" tanong ko."I think so," ani Grayson at nilingon ako "Nailigaw ko na naman sila, sa tingin ko ngayon ay ligtas na tayo."Nakaramdam ako ng saglit na kaginhawahan. Sumandal ako sa upuan, napako ang tingin ko sa mga nadaranang streetlights. Ang tensyon na bumalot sa amin sa aming pagtakas ay dahan-dahang nagsimulang maglaho, napalitan ng isang pakiramdam ng kalmado— pero hindi nagpapakasiguro.Habang nasa byahe kami ay naaninag ko ang pamilyar na berde at puting logo ng isang Starbucks si

JESSICA Nagising ako nang tumama ang sinag ng araw sa mukha ko. Hindi ko pa maimulat anh aking mga mata dahil sa labis na puyat. Masakit ang buong katawan ko, lalo na ang parte sa pagitan ng mga hita ko. Dalawang beses na akong napapasabak sa gera, sana naman ngayon ay makapagpahinga na muna ako. Wala na akong lakas na gaya dati na kahit tatlo o apat na beses kaming magsiping ni Grayson ay ayos lang. Hindi na sanay ang katawan ko. Nang tumagilid ako sa kanang bahagi ng kama ay napag-alaman ko na wala na akong kasama. Grayson is nowhere to be find, his absence leaving a void in the room. But then, I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, indicating that he was taking a shower. A mischievous thought crossed my mind, and a sly smile played on my lips. I decided to pretend that I was still asleep, curious to see what Grayson would do when he emerged from the bathroom. Ibinalik ko sa pwesto ang bedsheet pati na ang asul na comforter na nagsisilbing takip sa hubad

GRAYSONAfter the ambush, I wasted no time in taking action. Swiftly and decisively, I issued orders to my men, instructing them to track down Yza without delay. With a firm and commanding tone, I directed them to apprehend her and bring her directly to me, ensuring that there would be no chance for escape. My authority was unquestioned, and my determination to hold Yza accountable for her actions was resolute. The hunt had begun, and I was prepared to see it through to its end.I shouldn't give Yza a second chance. From the very beginning, I knew I shouldn't have trusted her. She was nothing more than a pawn, someone they used to exploit my vulnerabilities, to try and break through the fortress I had built around my heart. It was a game they played, a sinister plot to unravel the cold-hearted person they perceived me to be.The anger simmered within me, threatening to boil over, but I suppressed it with the icy control I was known for. My reputation as a cold-hearted mafia boss had b

GRAYSONAfter leaving the lower deck, Jessica and I made our way up to the third floor of the luxurious yacht. This level housed the master bedroom, a space where I often retreated to when I needed a moment of solitude. Tonight, however, there would be no respite as I sat at the desk, facing the laptop that displayed scattered documents pertaining to the recent events.Habang pinag-aaralan ko ang mga impormasyon pumasok si Jessica sa silid, may dalang tray na may bote ng alak, dalawang wine glass, at isang plato ng pasta. Kilalang-kilala niya ako, alam niya na mas gusto kong magtrabaho habang kumakain at umiinom ng wine."Here you go," aniya nang ipatong ang tray sa bakanteng bahagi ng lamesa..I glanced up, momentarily distracted from the stack of papers before me. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I took in the sight before me."Thank you," aniko na nay ngiti sa labi.Ipinagsalin ako ng wine ni Jessica sa wine glass. The deep red liquid cascaded smoothly, the aroma

GRAYSONI was starting to drift off to sleep when the shrill ringtone of my phone shattered the silence. Irritated, I reached over to the bedside table and picked up the call without bothering to check the caller ID."What is it?" I asked, my voice laced with annoyance."Fiumara, si Sabino 'to," ani boses mula sa kabilang linya . "Handa na ang pangalawang parusa ni Atty. Hart sa'yo."Atty Elliot had already informed me about the impending second punishment, so I wasn't surprised by Sabino's call. Atty Hart, the head of one of the rival factions, was always looking for ways to assert his dominance and strike fear into his enemies. It wasn't the first time we clashed, and I knew it wouldn't be the last."Sige, pupunta na ako. Tell me the exact location and time," wika ko. Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa telepono."Ime-message na lang kita."With that, the call ended, leaving me with a lingering sense of anticipation. Atty Hart's punishments were known to be brutal and unrelenting, and

JESSICAMahigit anim na oras na yata ang nakakalipas mula nang umalis si Gray. I couldn't help but let my imagination run wild with the possibilities of what he could be doing. The dangerous world he lived in always left room for uncertainty, and I couldn't shake the feeling that he might be in trouble. Hindi ko maiwasan na mag-alala, matakot, at mangamba para sa kaniya.I got up from the sofa in the living room, my worry growing with each passing moment. I needed answers, and the first person I thought of was Talitha, Grayson's secretary. Alam niya ang lahat ng schedule ni Grayson, sa kaniya ko rin nalalaman lahat ng errands ni Gray. "Hello, Ms. Jessica," bati niya sa halatang inaantok na boses."Hi, Tali. I'm sorry, nagising yata kita? Pasensya ka na" tanong ko."Okay lang po Miss, napatawag po kayo? May problema po ba?""Yeah, Itatanong ko lang sana kung may nakaschedule ba na meeting si Gray, ngayong araw? He's been gone for a while, and I'm starting to get worried."There was

JESSICAAng liwanag ng umaga ay nasala sa mga kurtina, na nagliliwanag sa silid. Umaga na pero gising na gising pa rin ang diwa ko. Nakatulog na ako saglit, mga isa o dalawang oras ngunit ang pag-aalala ko kay Grayson ay patuloy akong hinihila pabalik sa kamalayan. On the other hand, Grayson js sleeping peacefully on the bed. Habang nakaupo ako sa tabi ng kanyang higaan, hindi ko maiwasan na balikan ang mga pangyayari kagabi— 'yong nakita kong dalamhati sa mga mata niya, ang kahinaan na ipinakita niya nang umuwi siyang sugatan at pagod. Ito ay side ni Grayson na kakaunti lamang ang nakasaksi, at nag-iwan ito ng hindi maalis na marka sa puso ko.Grayson stirred slightly in his sleep, and I leaned closer to check his temperature. Bumaba na ang lagnat niya ngunit may sinay-sinat pa rin . I sighed, knowing that he needed proper medical attention, but convincing him to go to the hospital was going to be a challenge.Matigas ang ulo niya kahit noon pa."You should rest," ani Grayson
