Maddox's point of view Sariel already has my phone number, which I gave her yesterday. Therefore, I asked Sariel to come to my penthouse today. Of course, I want to show her my adorable little pet. Also, I'm almost done building my new home at the Jungle K, so I may ask her to talk about it. Pero hindi naging madali ang pakikipag usap ko sa kanya. Ang dami niyang rason para hindi puntahan, kaya I blackmail her. So, she has no choice but to come here. Nagliligpit muna ako ng mga kalat. Bumili kasi ako ng aquarium kaya, makalat talaga ngayon. Napansin ko kasi na mahilig siya sa animals. Meron na nga rin akong regalo sa kanya na kabayo. Hilig din niya sa mga ganun. As I'm finished with everything, my doorbell chimes. And I expect that it's her. Wala naman na akong bisita na inaasahan. I stride toward the door, twitching the knob and pulling it wide to see who's out there. And I'm so disappointed as fvck that it was my two brothers. What the heck? "So, tell me a compelling rea

Sariel's point of view Just like I mentioned the day before, I'm going to go out and explore the fresh air. Hindi naman na ipinagbabawal 'yun, kaya okay lang na pagala-gala ako sa labas. I am going to go horseback galloping. It is already midday, and the sun is not causing my skin to be as uncomfortable as it normally would be. This place is warm, and the air is clean and pleasant to breathe in. Gusto ko sana na ganito talagang buhay, tahimik lang. Kaso hindi 'to kasali dahil isa akong preso rito. As soon as I arrived at the barn where the horses were placed, I headed straight for the white horse. This is one that I enjoy. Also, the other horse is black, and his appearance seems similar to Maddox. Besides that, it is crystal clear that this white one has been chosen to be my one and only baby. "Hi, little there. You're so cute, parang gusto kitang maging alaga. Wala pa naman sigurong nagmamay-ari sayo?" I was enjoying talking to the horse. I run my palm at her head, caressing it

Sariel's point of view I was standing there, drenched in water, when I shifted my gaze to the sky. It was a very calming experience to feel the raindrops gently stroking my cheeks. I extended my hand as if I were reaching for clouds in the sky. "Hi, daddy. I'm hoping you're all doing well there. Mommy and I will survive this chaotic life. Sana nandito ka pa rin, ano? Wala ka na nga tapos, wala rin si mommy. I miss you both. Daddy, kayo na po ang bahala kay Mommy, ah. Bantayan nyo po siya, while me? I'm fine, I'm going to be fine," a small whimper out of my lips. I can't control my emotions. I don't understand what I'm feeling. The only thing I did was pray that this excruciating suffering would come to an end as quickly as possible. How can I achieve my goal of being free? I want to be free. I set out on foot, heading toward the mansion. I don't care if the water drenches me. As I approached the entrance, I noticed that the girl I had seen was already inside, standing with a tow

Maddox's point of view "Wala ka na talagang ginagawang tama at nang-iistorbo ka pa ano?" I hissed, gritting my teeth. Her mouth snapped shut. She then closed her eyes, like her temple throb got worse. "Just leave me here; I didn't ask you to take care of me," she spit back, twitching her nose. Damn. It wasn't my intention to ever say those words. I just can't, ugh. There are times when I completely lose my mind, and when I look at her, I can't help but think about my parents. Sariel was riding in the car with her Tito. It's true that I blamed her. And maybe I was fueled by my rage.Her explanation is something I want to hear, but I'm not ready. During the time span, she lied to me each and every time I pushed her. From what I think, she does not have trust in me. Kung sana sinabi niya sa akin ng maaga natulungan ko pa siya. I have her as a captive; if Finn Dixon is indeed responsible for everything, then she will be bound to remain with me until I am able to capture Finn Dixon.Nag
