Alessandro’s P.O.V.“Up until this point, nothing suspicious had been detected.” Pabulong na wika sa kanya ni Ethan.Katatapos lang nitong kausapin si Max na noon ay nakapwesto sa ikalawang palapag kung saan overlooking ang venue. Alessandro could also clearly see the man from where they were standing. Nakatayo ito habang nakakapit sa railings at tinatanaw ang mga nangyayari sa kanila sa ibaba.“Do you think Hector backed out last minute seeing there are too many of our men surrounding the venue?” He heard Ethan ask. Balisa pa nitong palihim na iginala ang pangin sa mga panauhin.Siya naman ay marahang napabitaw nang kanina pa kinikimkim na buntong-hininga. He didn’t like any of these at all. Masyadong tahimik. Masyadong kalmado ang lahat. Biglang bumalik sa isip niya ang dalawang babalang nakasulat sa puting tarhetang nakaipit sa palaso. First, it warned him to be wary with the deliveries coming in and out of the hotel. Hence, Ethan made sure to secure the entrance, exits, and all th

Sky’s P.O.V. Tigalgal na napatitig si Sky sa kanyang ama. She must’ve misheard him, right? Surely her father has not yet gone senile! Sa laki ba naman ng pagod at paghihirap na pinagdaanan ng kanilang kompanya para lang makuha ang mga naglalakihang kontrata mula mula sa Vontillon Corp, hindi siya makapaniwalang ganoon at ganoon na lang ito papakawalan ng kanyang ama!“W-What do you mean, Dad? W-Why would you want to cut ties with the largest company in the country?” Puno ng pagkalitong tanong niya.Her father had a hard look on his face as he stared at her. Wari ba may kung anong mabigat na alalahanin ang nasa isip nito at tila maigi pa nitong pinag-iisipan kung sasagutin ba siya nito o hindi. Bandang huli ay napabuga na lang ito ng isang malalim na buntong-hininga bago tumuwid muli ng tayo.“I no longer see any reason why we should still continue our partnership with them.” Maikli lamang ang tugon nitong iyon ngunit bakas mula sa bawat katagang binitawan ng kanyang ama ang pinalida

Sky’s P.O.V.Sky couldn’t believe her eyes as she stared at the man in front of her. No wonder he looked somewhat familiar! Because the more she stared at him, the more she realized the similarities he had with Alessandro. Both men clearly shared the same proud and pointed nose. At tulad ng binata ay nagtataglay din ito ng mga matang nangungusap at mamula-mulang malahugis-pusong labi. Are all men born from Vontillon lineage this perfect? But didn’t they say he’s over mid-fifties or something? Bakit tila yata nasa kwarenta pa lang ang edad nito? No! In fact, he could even pass for someone who’s in his late thirties! Hindi tuloy niya mapigilang mapatitig dito ng matagal. Ikiniling naman ng lalaki ang ulo nito habang halata sa anyo ang pag-aalala. “Is there something wrong, Ms. Bustamante? Nahihilo ka na naman ba?”Napakurapkurap naman siya habang pilit na ibinabalik sa tamang huwisyo ang isipan. Maagap din niyang tinanggap ang nakalahad pa rin nitong kamay subalit dahil sa pagmamadal
