BAGO lumabas si Cassiuz ng van, isinuot niya ang itim na maskara. Nakamaskara din ang mga tauhan niya. Paglabas niya ng van, agad niyang nakita si Ranger o si Maverick na nakatayo sa wooden path. They’re partners in illegal arms trade. Maverick informed him that there will be a shipment coming tonight. So, he’s here to check the guns.“Boss, the shipment will arrive before eight.” Imporma ni Mark.Tumango si Cassiuz saka tinignan ang suot na relo. There are still fifteen minutes before the shipment arrives. Namulsa si Cassiuz saka naglakad palapit sa kaibigan.“What are you thinking?” Cassiuz asked.Maverick looked at Cassiuz. “Bago mo tanungin ang tungkol sa akin, kumustahin mo muna kaya kung kumusta na kayo ng fiancée mo.”Kumunot ang nuo ni Cassiuz. “Fiancée ko?” Kapagkuwan narealize niya ang sinabi ni Maverick. “You’re right. She is my fiancée.” He tsked. “Why? You met someone? Or was it still her?”Maverick just sighed. “Don’t mention it. The girl doesn’t like shady business.”Ku

“AKO ng bahala kay Cassiuz,” sabi ni Wynter sa mga bodyguard ni Cassiuz. “Iwan niyo na kami.”“Sige, Madam.” Tugon ni Mark at Anthony.Lumabas ang dalawa.“Wait!” Pigil ni Wynter sa dalawa.“Madam?” humarap si Mark.“Pwede bang kumuha kayo ng maaligamgam na tubig. Kailangan kong banyusan ni Cassiuz.”Tumango si Mark saka isinara ang pinto.Ibinaba naman ni Wynter ang sling bag sa bench na nasa dulo ng kama ni Cassiuz. Tinignan niya ang binata. Napailing siya saka umupo sa gilid ng kama. “Cass, I like you too.” She confessed. “I’m sorry, I don’t any courage to confess to you. To tell you honestly, I am afraid.” Napabuntong hininga siya saka hinawakan ang kamay ni Cassiuz. “I won’t promise you anything but I can be by your side whenever you needed me.” She smiled.Napatingin si Wynter sa pinto nang may kumatok. “Come in.”Bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Mark na may dalang maliit na palanggana at si Jerome na may hawak na isang baso ng tubig. Inilapag ng dalawa nila sa bedside table.“M

“BOSS, bad news. One of our warehouses got burned.” Imporma ni Mark kay Cassiuz. “One of the warehouses of the Velasquez Empire. Also, Mateo damaged our shipment in the Underground going to Australia.” Dagdag pa ni Mark.Napatigil si Cassiuz sa pagbabasa ng report nang marinig ang sinabi ni Mark. Ibinagsak niya ang hawak na folder. Kumuyom ang kamay niya saka tumingin kay Mark. Tumaas ang sulok ng labi ni Cassiuz. “Burn his warehouse. I heard that his company will launch a new product next week. Sabotage it but don’t kill anyone.”Tumango si Mark. “Copy, Boss.”“About our business in the Underground.” An evil grin appeared on Cassiuz’ lips. “Destroy their hideout and make sure that he will lose a lot of his fortune. Deal with it. I’ll deal with the police.”Yumukod si Mark. “Yes, Boss.”Sinenyasan ni Cassiuz si Mark na umalis na.Nang makaalis si Mark, nagpadala siya ng mensahe kay Mateo Del Moran using his identity as Darkness. Dapat lang na malaman nito na hindi siya dapat nito kala

Cassiuz gathered Wynter in his arms, lumabas sila ng banyo. Maingat na hiniga ni Cassiuz si Wynter sa kama saka niya hinubad ang suot na damit. He went on top of her. Wynter bit her lip seductively, making Cassiuz to lose all the control that he had on himself. He placed passionate kisses all over face, her neck, her breasts, his hands slid lower down to her inviting cavity as Wynter moaned with pleasure.Wynter moaned as Cassiuz’s hands roamed around her body.Cassiuz’s knew Wynter was ready, more than ready but he needed to ask her again.“My love, are you really sure about this?” Cassiuz asked.Wynter nodded her head.Cassiuz smiled. He knew that Wynter was still under the influence of alcohol or else she wouldn’t be like this.Cassiuz positioned himself, as he eagerly entered her. A tear slid down on Wynter’s cheek.“Wynter…”Humikbi si Wynter.Cassiuz placed small kisses on Wynter’s face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you’re a virgin.”Wynter didn’t respond, she just wrapped her

AN OLD MAN wearing a bull cap walked into the Sweet Unique Café. Tinignan ng matandang lalaki ang kabuuan ng café at saka nakapangiti. Umupo ito sa bakanteng pwesto saka hinubad ang suot na sombrero. May lumapit naman na waiter rito at nagtanong ng order. The old man ordered one slice of cake and coffee. Magalang na nagpaalam ang waiter saka kinuha ang order ng matanda.The old man sighed while looking outside the café. “It’s been fifteen years. Ang dami ng nagbago sa lugar na ‘to.” Aniya sa sarili.“Excuse me, Sir. Here’s your order.” Anang waiter na pumukaw sa atensiyon ng matandang lalaki.Ngumiti ang matandang lalaki saka tumango. “Salamat.”Magalang lang na yumukod ang waiter saka umalis upang tignan ang ibang customer.Labinlimang taon na ang nakalipas. Sigurado siya na hanggang ngayon hinahanap pa rin siya ng kaibigan niya at ng taong gustong pumatay sa kaniya. Hinahanap pa kaya siya o nakalimutan na siya?Mahinang natawa ang matandang lalaki sa sarili saka uminom ng kape. Haba
