CHAPTER ONE
___________________
I arrived at my boarding house without myself. What I had seen before kept replaying in my brain.
I couldn't get rid of anything I tried so I decided to go out.
it's only about seven o'clock in the evening so there are a lot of people, it's a good thing it's Friday so I don't have school tomorrow. I think that's even better because I don't think I can meet or even see the two.
I wanted to drink so I chose to wear jeans and a white crop top and a black cardigan. I'm a teacher and it's not good for my students to see me in this state but I also have a life of my own, I'm doing my job well so it's not bad anymore.
I know a bar nearby so I chose to just walk, I'm not wearing high heels either so it's okay.
I was crossing the street when someone texted so I didn't look at it myself.
Ma 'love
Hi love. I'm sorry I didn't deliver you earlier, I'm super busy. I just recovered another day. I love you and i miss you so much. Go to bed early huh? Don't neglect yourself. I can't call you anymore because I still have papers to process.
My tears flowed again when I read the content of his text. I couldn't help but feel angry, I think it was fooling me, but it was right. He is really cheating on me.
I angrily wiped my then wet cheek again and walked quickly down the road, without looking around, just straight when I heard a deafening horn to my left.
my body went stiffed when i realized that i was about to get crashed, i was there standing, my tears literally stopped, losing myself and not being able to step on my feet to get out of there.
The driver beeped again but it was like i was lost, i dont know what to do, my mind went blanked.
I just realized that the driver of the limousine car was supporting himself, he repeatedly asked me if I'm okay.
I just nodded. Still can't believe it, I almost collided.
"Are you okay miss?"
"Are you sure?"
"Nothing hurts?"
"Miss?"
"Miss?"
repeated its question but I could not even open my mouth.
So it shook both my shoulders,
That's where I realized.
"O-okay I'm fine." I was nervous to answer this.
"Are you sure?" the old man had a worried face but he was still handsome compared to men I think his age,
"Manong is a pet gym." I didn't realize that it came out of my mouth, I just found out that it laughed a little.
"I think you're okay before because you were not on your own. I'm fine and I'm fine. "He said happily.
A smile appeared on my lips when I heard him speak, his contentment contagious.
"Ah w-I don't have that man. All right. Thank you." I say goodbye here because people are already looking at our behavior, and his parked car is also causing traffic.
"Just call me Adriano sister, it's like I'm not too old for Adriano." He said happily again.
I would have answered someone who called here by the name he gave.
"Adriano! Lets go!" Cold promise of the man in the car.
I couldn't see it very well because it was dark inside the car and the window wasn't very open so even if it was lit outside, I still couldn't see the person inside.
I turned my gaze to Adriano of,
"Wow strength to be Adriano ah" I joked to myself.
when he laughed and scratched his neck,
"All right, miss ganda huh? You're just okay huh? I'm leaving and maybe my boss will kill me without knowing the word patience." This information makes me laugh again.
I nodded with a smile and informed him as well.
I waited until I could get in and the car started to roll away, just as I was leaving I couldn't help but peek at the mysterious man inside the car, I still remember the horror that enveloped my being when I heard his voice deep and cold.
because Adriano was driving quite fast, I only saw the sideview, I could see a little of what I thought was his handsome face because of the yellow light inside the car.
His face was serious and seemed to scold the old man. as far away as the car in my sight then came back to my mind what I had been thinking before.
Sadness faded from my face and pain in my heart, thanks to that old man and I momentarily forgot about that naughty man.
I immediately made my way into the bar I was going to while meditating.
I need to get wasted or else, i might drown myself from deep thinking.
Arries was my first love and my first heartache, he should be my last heartbreak.
Sad but determined I promise myself.
men would only ruin my life, so before that could happen I had to distance myself from them.
Arries was the only one who restored my trust but also took it back.
I stopped in front of the Bar,
i took a deep breath and then walk gracefully, i swayed my buttocks confidently.
I, then, took off my cardigan and enter the bar with those eyes plunging in me.
I smirked, I didn't notice the shape of my body much especially when I was wearing the uniform slacks and sleeves at school,
But
The dress I wear, complimented my body so even if it's simple, my body will carry it.
"I'm the only one you wasted." When I talk to Arries in my mind.
CHAPTER TWO
___________________
The smokey bar welcomed me with noise, people making out, dancing in the dance floor wildly and more.
I went to the bar center and ordered tequila, this is not my first time drinking hard drinks, of course I went through maidenhood so I know all this. but as a teacher, a model be like, i should restrain myself from this but i'm not a saint to do that, i have my own life, especially now.
"Hi miss mind if I join you?" A man's words are not handsome but not ugly either, as if they are correct.
"Sorry but yes!" i answered him with my bitchy tone.
Maybe they didn't expect such an answer so they stopped, and then turned away.
I ordered another set of hard drinks when someone went to approach me, again.
His smile shows that he wants to flirt with me but i just raised my eyebrows.
as expected, he turned his back away from me.
Repeatedly such a set-up but i accept no one.
"Hey baby boy, one order of sex on the beach please!" I asked the bartender using my flirty tone.
it stopped and stared at me for a while, I can't believe that after I shooed lots of men I'm flirting with him now.
Flirting was never my intention! I just felt the urge to call him baby boy.
Moments later he laid the drink in front of me.
"Here's your drink baby girl!" It smiled,
"My treat." He added with a wink.
I laughed softly, this guy got the wrong idea so I got up to leave towards the dance floor area.
"Thanks!" I'm thankful for this when I can stand.
"But no thanks." I added.
i smirked again when i saw him in shocked, expect the unexpected little guy.
When I talk to the man in my mind.
Truth be told but this world makes you realized that every wish you make would be the opposite.
Like me. i expect that Arries and I would end up in church, saying our I do's and vows, but, look at me right now, sad.
It is a proof that, going along with destiny's way and let it alone decide for you would be the greatest way of being happy.
as i went at the center dance floor, the music changed into wild and more sexy beat.
Women went more dirty and it boils me up, competing with them in a more and sexy way.
i just swayed and swayed my hips sideways and my arms in the air when the chorus covered the whole place, for me, that is my cue,
I dance erotically, like no one else is here but me, men were surrounding me, cheering me up to do more, and honestly speaking, it added the spice.
a handsome man approached me, he put himself at my back, grinding his thing which is slowly getting up, and being a naughty one, i pressed my body more in front of him, teased him giving him a boner.
"Ah shit! Your so hot!" Its a hoarse compliment to me.
"I know right!" i replied with confident.
Maybe this is what the disease does? Making you a different person, but its fine with me.
______________________
"Your turning me on." He said, listening.
So i faced him, i saw his faced getting closer and closer, and was about to kiss me when i lean sideward, someone just got my attention.
he is making out with someone, drowning in each other as if there is no one else inside the bar but them.
They were touching each other's body, the guy's back was facing me so I wasn't too sure, but, when the girl raised his eyes and saw me, that's when I realized, they were.
it is Arries and Mika, they were making out.
I was caught in shock, especially when I looked at Mika's way of looking at my behavior, I even saw how surprised she was to see me but also smiled afterwards, her smile, that kind of smile shows like she succeeds on something.
he should be embarrassed to see me, because he is not unaware of our relationship but at least, the couple now, the husband is acting more than the originals.
She smiled looking at me as the man rubbed her neck. and then, i saw her whispered something to Arries that stopped what she was doing. He looked away and before he landed his gaze towards me the man in front of me pulled my face.
Maybe that's what Mika said about me.
"Hey hot lady..your spacing out "the person in front of me said hoarsely, he was cupping my face but my attention was not there but the man approaching our place.
So even before Arries arrived at our place, I pulled the man in front of me to the Comfort Room. the grip was tight and I hurriedly pulled it away when I heard it laugh.
"I don't know, your that excited." He smiled and said that's when I realized that something else was on the man's mind so I immediately let go of his hand and quickly entered the girls Cr.
when I entered a cubicle and locked it, many tears flowed.
"How can he do this to me?" .i asked myself but i also laughed at my own question, i saw them doing a miracle at school but if i can react it's like i just saw you for the first time.
I cried and cried, because of the chest pain to accept but I don't have any choice, he is already fooling me, will I let this continue?
"I'm not a martyr!" I exclaimed to myself.
yes I'm drunk but it's like I was suddenly poured cold water earlier when I saw it, I can feel the pain in my heart as if it's taking all the air I have.
I could hardly breathe in pain.
A few minutes later I realized, I wanted to hurt him too. I want to do what he did so we are fair.
I stopped my tears from falling and dried my face. I will look for the man who almost kissed me earlier. He will help me.
Pinale the decision I made, he wants a game? Fine, I'll play his game.
I almost believed his text before, because I was also forcing myself that they weren't the ones I saw, that I might have just been amused but he proved me twice already. That was enough to make me believe and side with myself.
I only took a few steps with the relatively wide Cr towards the outside of someone pulling on my arm.
The same guy i was about to search.
"Age favors me." I grinned.
"What took you so long babe?" he asked as he led me closer to the dancefloor, he hugged me and caressed my arm.
I didn't delete that, as long as I just had in mind I wanted revenge.
"Nothing babe" I replied with a smile, a seductive smile.
he was about to say something when i heard a loud bang, the place went silence, people were panicking but i cant hear anything. I feel like I'm deaf.
I was so shocked when the blood slowly dripped on the forehead of the man who was holding me. he even wiped his forehead and then looked, when we both realized it was blood my whole being was shaking so much, my heart was not beating as fast.
the man fell down then I realized I didn't know the name, his body was there, lying on the floor, lifeless and eyes open, his own blood were slowly covering the floor.
He was shot on his forehead for goodness sake. We're just close
consciously and hearing the screams, people shouting, gunshots made me shout too.
It was hard but I tried to step on my foot to get out, but I sat down in shock when a bullet almost hit me.
no tears came out of my eyes, as long as the only thing on my mind at those times was that I wanted to come out and save myself.
I crawled on the floor, not minding the lots of blood and scattered glasses. It's only a matter of time before I can get out when someone pulled my hair up.
"Awwww" I cried out in pain as I felt my hair pulled out, and even my scalp seemed to be removed from the pain as well.
I struggled with the man holding my hair with a handkerchief covering it with a strange smell.
my mind suddenly out of conscious and before dark consumed me I saw the familiar face,
The man inside the limousine was Adriano's drinive.
His emotionless and stoic eyes were gazing into someone, while his right hand holding a gun, he aimed it and lifted pointing to someone,
i dont have the strength to turn my head so i can't see it.
And as soon as he pulled the trigger, darkness consumed me and the last thing I heard was a loud bang.

CHAPTER THREE
___________________
Adriano's POV
I was so upset to get back in the car when I heard the boss, he was angry again, but no, he was always angry, I just got used to it.
I looked in the mirror in front of me, as before, emotionless, forehead always furrowed.
napapailing tuloy ako, pusta ko, pag eto nainlove gulo buhay nito.
"Now what?" He asked coldly,
I felt like maybe I was looking.
"Hahaha no boss" I laughed in response.
It made me cringe even more and turned to look at me, susko, it's about to start.
"Just drive the car old thug." There is no such thing as a sharp suspicion that I am not moving to operate the vehicle.
Instead of being scared and angry at its call to me I laughed even harder. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's funny ?! Tsk!" losing patience with its promise.
"Hahahahaha"
I couldn't stop laughing.
"Bwahahahaha! A-you know boss, when you're drunk, make sure there's nothing like that, you'll have fun." Laughing I said.
"I can't imagine boss. Hahahaha" I added while wiping away tears.
"Just fucking mind your business Adriano!" He said in a sharp voice.
It quickly took the gun inside the wearing coat and cocked, then no doubt pointed it at the back of my head.
"Or you want me to just fucking end your useless life."
suddenly I stopped laughing and got serious.
Raised both hands. The former seems to be giving up.
"This boss is really kj!" I'm weak.
Very serious in life.
he quickly withdrew the gun again and threw it at the adjacent seat, then closed his eyes and leaned back, seemingly losing his temper.
Tsk tsk tsk. Nothing has changed yet. The head is still really hot.
I started to accelerate the function of the car towards the place we intended, can not be late because every minute of its time wasted is gold.
___________________
King Lourd's POV
I dont know how many times i sighed. I really hate it when this old thug sprout nonsense things.
I've chosen to close my eyes and calm myself. This is what i get of taking this old man with me.
A little while,
And everything went silent, a picture of a girl Suddenly flashed on my mind.
The woman we are about to collide with. Fortunately, Adriano is alert, he still doesn't seem to be in the right mood while walking, but it's okay.
i dont mind taking people's useless life, i have lots of connection and money to do the work for me, they can find a way to make everything seem like nothing happened if i want.
I tilted my head sideways hoping to forget about the girl.
i forced myself to think about another things, not until my phone rang.
I picked it up and answered, not minding the person behind the call.
"B-boss?" Its a shocking beginning.
I frowned at what caused it to stutter, did something happen? or is he just that scared of me?
"What?" I replied, still no emotion. But I'm used to it but people around me wasn't.
"P-pi ... P-Mr. Allarde is asking if n-where are you boss?" Unable to harvest it, it was noticeably nervous based on his voice.
"Tell him to just fucking wait. If he can't then, tell him to make himself busy for the meantime, fuck her girls and juice himself." It was boring for me to say this, but I knew someone else was dating him, cold and emotionless.
"O-opo boss." his answer trembled again then informed and turned off the call.
"Tsk!"
I rolled my eyes to see if we were close, and luckily,
"We're here boss!" Its a happy ejaculation.
I just ignored it and waited for the car to stop.
and again, the girl a while back suddenly popped out of my mind, again, for the second time. Her gloomy face kept coming.
She's in a deep sorrow for all i know, spacing out and nearly got crashed says it all.
I just turn my head left and right, thinking it would blot out her images.
I suddenly came back to reality when Adriano spoke.
"Are you okay boss? Don't say you're drunk?" Its question voice was full of astonishment.
______________________
"Just keep your fucking mouth shut old man if you dont want me to keep it." My suspicions are irritating.
His making fun of me again, and he knows i despise it in times like this.
i opened the door and went outside, adjusted my messy clothes on sitting, i was standing straight when i decided to look around.
My men were scattered everywhere, like they were just a stranger, waiting for my signal.
adriano, being my right hand, went in front of me and led the way wearing his humorless face. None the jocular old thug man.
"Do you agree to my conditions Mr. Vinumous?" A business partner asking for a favor, but i dont do things without asking in return.
i stayed silence for a while, just tripping, if i should accept his proposal.
Mr.allarde is a business partner of mine with one of my entrepreneur terrain, he is pursuing his career in politics and preparing his running for congressman, he is assuring his sit not until a sudden rival came across the picture, taking his supposedly throne. and as for his rival to back off, he need to take at least one of his wings, his rival son that has been sitting for two consecutive term being the mayor.
He was young for the position but people loved him.
But Allarde being the powerless man without his money, he needs my men to do it for him.
I laughed, he knows my mafia organization, and being the top-notch sodality we will definitely be known all over Asia, but, only those who are in business.
moreover, he knows nothing, we can't just kill a certain person for money, we kill for a purpose, we exterminate those who fault, and that's not just any more and I take care of the organization I hold.
I built it for business purposes, to protect my people and such, not for others, and for making money.
But if I want to do it is easy, but I am out of mood.
"I decline your offer Allarde." I answered here and then stood up.
It was shocking to hear my answer, maybe, its the opposite of what he expected.
"B-but ---" he couldn't continue to say quickly and without looking back I made my way out.
Unlike before, Adriano was behind me, still serious, not speaking. the opposite of the old cheerful old man.
We were already out of the VIP Room where the failed transaction took place, disappointed because I had lost my mood, when we heard an explosion right inside the BAR where we are now.
my men came out of nowhere and surrounded me, carrying their guns with silencer.
All the people there shouted and ran out,
I didn't bother and immediately took the gun inside the coat I was wearing. then I rolled my eyes as I was distracted by the woman we had almost run over recently.
.she was with a guy, who I know was the cause of the explosion earlier, due to adrenaline rush it even managed to wipe the blood that flowed from the very center of the head she hit before it lay on the floor.
panicked were visible on her eyes, everyone was running but she was just an idiot, i was about to rescue her when another loud bang echoed targeting near her position.
I didn't leave the stand and just watched it slide and hurriedly walk out with elbows and knees,
.i saw this man in my peripheral vision pointing his gun at that girl, at that time i prompted the personnel to shoot the armed men who i think were with the nooy approaching the man to the woman.
he grab the woman's hair and it screamed in pain, the girl was forcefully caught up when they put something on his nose.
A handkerchief that contain strong kind of drugs that can put the victim out of consciousness.
I felt sorry for the woman as she tried to get out of the man's grip but because the body of the latter was a few times bigger, it did not succeed and lost consciousness and was then left on the floor.
my men were busy shooting all armed men inside this room, that's when i realized i had to do it myself.
I needed to do something, the urge to kill the man.
I put the silencer of the gun and then turned it on, I then pointed the gun at the man now focused on the girl,
before pressing I looked at the girl's face again, her eyes were half close that's when I realized she is not yet fully unconscious.
I was about to pull the trigger when Adriano made his move and shot the guy's forehead, just like his target.
