Halos isang linggong hindi nagpakita si Rye pagkatapos ng gabing iyon. Halos isang linggo na rin akong nabuburo sa loob ng mansyon. Kain at tulog lang ang ginagawa ko at hindi ko alam kung paano ko 'yon nakakayanan lalo na't hindi ako sanay sa gano'n.Isang beses kong sinubukang mag-aksaya ng lakas upang tumakas, ngunit mga sugat sa braso lang ang natamo ko matapos kong labanan ang mga bantay sa labas ng mansyon. However, hindi naman ako nakaramdam ng pagsisisi. I was bored that's why I did that.Hindi lingid sa aking kaalaman na nasa loob lamang ng mansyon si Rye, ngunit hindi ko alam kung saan banda. Hindi naman lahat ng parte ay maaari kong puntahan sa loob ng mansyon. May mga bahagi na hindi ako pinahihintulutang puntahan kaya naman hindi ko mahanap-hanap ang lalaki.Kaya naman suwerte ako nang bumaba ako sa kalagitnaan ng gabi dahil kinailangan kong linisin ang sugat ko na aksidente kong muling napadugo, muli kong nakita si Rye. “I already missed my sons' birthday.

After having a nice talk with him, I got Sever Hareon as my right hand. He was easy to talk with. Hindi ko naman siya binantaan. I just gave him reminders as his boss.“What did you do? Bakit may pasa sa mukha 'yon?” Ervo was so worried when he got into my office.

Pinapayagan na kitang umalis.”Napahinga nang malalim ang lalaki bago itinaas ang gilid ng mga labi. “Alright, then. Sa wakas. Malaya na ako. Goodbye, boss. See you when I—”“Sinabi ko ba na ngayon? He will start his work as my right hand right once my children are born.”Ervo muttered a curse. “Five months pa.”I asked Sever to be with Zalaria while she's carrying our twins in exchange for a billion dollars. However, the man told me that it was really his plan to do so, even if I did not ask him.If only I was able to do my duties a

Today, I was scheduled to meet my mother in our family house located in America. Malas lang dahil kinabukasan ay ang pagbabalik ni Zalaria sa Derrivy. “Will you be there, my Supreme?”I shall be there. “I will host the assessment.”“Does the Second knows about it, my Supreme?” I nodded while fixing the sleeves of the plain white shirt I was wearing. “I already sent him my orders. He have probably read it by now.” My brother, Rye, as the Second— the second highest title inside Derrivy, is responsible for arranging an assessment for those who took a long break or undergoing the process to re-enter the organization. Zalaria will undergo an assessment and I wanted to be the host. Supposedly, the Second is the one who'll do it. However, it is not like I was breaking the rule— I was just bending it a little. Gustong-gusto ko na siyang makita. Ervo nodded for the second time as he scanned the pile of papers he was carrying. “How about Sever, my Supreme? When is his estimated time of a
