kept my chest steady until I could get away. But until now really .. the pain he caused still remains. .no one has the right to change me .. Because I did nothing wrong to them! I adjusted myself before continuing to walk again. Before I left campus, I first left the key to the music room with the guard. .it's true that I saw him patrolling the campus. It looks like it's just beginning. When I reached the parking lot .. I could hear the roaring noises. If I'm not mistaken .. That comes from a mess. .because voices can be heard obviously moaning in pain. Others are still shouting. And I wasn't wrong .. From a distance I could see how 'he' would attack the stranger men alone. 'Is this one of your gimmicks?' .But I seem to be mistaken. Below a man near Sebastian's car were two men who were badly bruised and both had their bodies collapsed. Rodil and .. Sebastian? 'What the hell did you get into?' .I saw the man slap the collar on Sebastian's head. Even before it could do so, I immediately ran to stop it. I kicked him repeatedly. I can almost break the man's face. .then I just let it go as it fainted and remembered the look of Sebastian and his friend. I approached the two. Sebastian .. Hey wake up !!! " I shook his shoulder. "A-aray! M-mas-kit na n-nga .. .ma-mang-a-aalog ka p-pa "he complained. 'What arrogance have you
MARUH'S POV
Blaaaaag!
A loud crash of something woke me up in the living room from the kitchen, where I was writing.
Confused, I saw mama enter the house with a sigh of relief.
"Maruh ?! Son ?!" mama called me while looking around the living room.
"Maruh ?!"
"Ma?" I call to him as I walk towards the living room. "Are you all right?" my innocent question.
"Nak, ahm, you want us to play?" confused towards just what I answered. "Mama and Maruh .. ahm .. ah will play hide and seek. Do you like that huh?" he added while chasing the breath digging into my face.
'' yes ma. But, 'don't you want me to play? ..' 'I asked mama in surprise. "..and then, where are you from? Why are you sweating?" I asked a series of questions.
"Ah, what .. mama walked a long way." he replied with a smile. "Mama is willing for you to play, as long as you listen to me carefully, do you understand mama?" I did nothing but nod because that's what kids like, isn't it? To be able to play.
"You'll hide well, where mama or anyone else can't see you. Mama will look for you, okay? '' He said staring.
"All right!" I said happily.
"Don't come out and don't make any noise until I find you, okay?" He told me as tears flowed.
'' Mom, why are you crying? Is there ... is anything wrong with you? '' I asked in tears.
"No children, mama is just happy because you are what papa God gave me." He forced a smile.
'' Me too, I love you so much! You are the best mama in the whole world for me! '' I said with a smile. He hugged me tightly.
"All right, son, let's play, mama is going to count, huh?" I nodded again to agree.
Why do I feel, that's the last time I can hug him so tightly?
Mama started counting. At the same time it was my action to find a hiding place.
I looked for a place where I could hide. I hid in a cabinet in the living room. I struggled to fit myself into the small space.
From inside the cabinet, I saw mama leave her seat and go upstairs to the bedroom.
I've been hiding for a few minutes. Until it was half an hour and I was having a hard time in my seat. Even so, I could not bear the pain that enveloped my body.
Time passed but I still stayed in the small and cramped wooden square I was laying on. Later vehicles arrived. There were men who recklessly entered our house and they were armed.
I peeked through the small opening of the cabinet to see the men who were strangers to me.
'' Search the whole house! I'm sure that traitor is just hiding! 'Don't stop until you see and are presented to me!' 'Shouted a strong man to his companions.
'Who are these people?' I asked myself .. as if I could get an answer right away.
Moments later, one of the male companions suddenly shouted.
'' Boss !! Here! '' He shouted from the top of the room.
My eyes widened when I saw mama holding onto her hair and forcibly dragging towards the front of the man's recognized boss, causing mama's face to sink to the floor.
'Mom !!' only cry of my brain.
"Aaahh!" mom moaned.
But the man was still not satisfied .. My eyes widened in shock when he slapped mama. I shivered in fear when the man slapped mama again and fell to the floor again.
Given the size of the man's body, I'm sure the part of my mother's cheek would bleed from the slap of her wide palm.
'mama' I cried as I whispered.
I was about to come out of hiding ... when it forcibly touched mama's hair, causing her to look up and complain of pain.
Again it entered my mind to come out of hiding to stop the man from hurting my mother. But in the end I was led by fear.
I remembered again what mama had told me earlier before we started playing.
'Don't go out and' don't make noise until I find you '
'Don't go out and' don't make any noise until I find you 'mama said over and over in my brain.
"You thought you could run away from me huh? You're still tired of me finding you! T *ng *na ka! You're just hiding here!" the man said angrily as he held mama's face tightly.
"What a pity for you Meredith! You're beautiful..smart and can still be useful!" every word he uttered was terrifying. "After all, I'll benefit you a lot! It's just that I'm not used to picking up trash and a traitor like you! Where are you hiding him !? Where !?" the man's face flushed with anger.
'' You are a coward and weak Demetri! Because you only rely on the actions of your staff! I thought you were smart, but I was wrong. Because you are a useless one! A useless demon who dares .. but the truth is, you are just waiting to be attacked. Pweeh !! '' mama spat at the man she called Demetri. "We're going to die, but you can't see 'him'!"
Who do they refer to as 'she'?
''Hahahaha!!! Useless, me? And who do you think you are for me to believe? "He said while wiping his face.
"I'll see him even if you don't tell me. Because even in the depths of hell you hide him, I will look for him. And when I find him .. I will torture him that even your soul in hell can do nothing!" his eyes glazed over and then faced his fellow men.
"Even if I pledge your soul to Satan, I will look for him! Tie it to the table and undress!"
"'Wag! Have mercy on Demetri!' Wag !!" mama's plea.
"'Don't worry. Before I look for him in hell, I'll take you to heaven first! Hahaha !!!' '
'' You demon! Release me! Let me go I said! I feel sorry for you! Let me go! ''
It's a dream! But why do I feel .. all this is happening right now?
Nightmare !!
That's what I can call my dream! That to this day, the ghost of the past continues to haunt me!
My eyebrows are raised .. He really knows what he's going to do ahh! "Hon sooorryyy!" . Earlier nail viscosity with the juice that was thrown away from me and then hugged my leg. I'm so upset! "Stand up there! You're really taking your home here." "NO! He came here Hon .. I didn't think he would come here. Pls sorry" he still begged. "Don't let me down your cabinet! You still don't really divorce that." I seriously speak here. "I was still abusive but he was trying to kill me to kill him when I left him so I couldn't leave." "Edi let that animal die! You want it too. Tomorrow you will be here with your cabinet .. Get rid of it right in front of me! “His eyes widened at what I said. "What? What does that look like? Don't you want to get rid of it?" "But ho--" he said as I spoke. "If you don't leave it alone
He bowed first and left and left us here. The three of us were shy looking at each other and remembered what we had done earlier. Annoying! What a shame! P*tcha! **** The three of us were lying here in the living room and we were a long distance away from each other. There was no silence on us and there was no intention of speaking to the three of us. I was in the middle of their siblings so I was a bit awkward. "What time is it?" Johnser broke the silence. I quickly took my cellphone to the top of my head and looked at the time there. "It's eleven o'clock in the evening." My cold answer. I returned my cellphone to my earlier. "We need to sleep." He said at once and fixed the blanket that had covered his body. "Aren't you going to turn off the light?" Clive just asked and the fear on his face. Maybe he still remembers what happened earlier so he's still scared. "Shall we kill?" Johnser asked us. "I'm going to kill," I said. I was about to get up in bed as Clive quickly put my hand on my stomach. "Why?" I asked him a question. "L-look." It is still scared to say it once teaching the whereabouts of the light switch. Johnser and I turned around. It was as if the two brothers were shouting in fear again when he saw a cockroach on the light switch. The two quickly pushed me. "Coakcroach!" They both say. "Hey! Don't touch it. The heat ---"

PROLOGUE Even though Bianca was tired and sleep-deprived after coming home from work in the early morning, she still forced herself to get up and prepare for their first day of school. She worked as a waitress in a secluded bar not far from their place. Bianca couldn't find any other job, so she took it. She lived in a tenement at the far end of the building. Her life was relatively stable compared to those living on the streets. She hopped on a jeepney to reach Trinidad University. She quickly took out her ID for use as a student pass, but when she arrived in her classroom, she was the last one to arrive. Bianca is in Section A star class. They are commonly referred to as nerds, weirdos, show-offs, and others. "Bianca," she heard someone call her. She looked up and realized it was Jasmine. "Why?" she replied in a soft, non-disruptive voice. Jasmine handed her a piece of paper. "This is your new schedule. You didn't show up last week, so they just gave it to me. Where did you go?" She averted her gaze to prevent her lies from being detected in her eyes. "I-I visited my sister, Ate Bellaria," she replied, even though the truth was that she was looking for a new job. Jasmine nodded, "I see." She thought that Jasmine wouldn't speak further, but she continued, "Have you heard about our new Philosophy professor? It's our first subject, three hours long." Bianca furrowed her brow at the news. "Huh? I haven't heard. Where is Ma'am Madrigal?" Jasmine shrugged, "She's about to give birth, so we have a proxy for the new professor." Bianca nodded, "Ah, has this new professor been teaching here for long?" Jasmine shook her head, "I don't think she has taught in any other department either. She's quite new." Bianca nodded and remained silent. While she busied herself with reading her book, a sudden loud commotion erupted outside their classroom. She covered her ears due to the loud impact it had on her senses. "Why are people screaming outside?" one of their classmates asked. "Did something bad happen?" another guy said, about to stand up to speak when Jake, their class president, intervened. "Don't, Mendez. Let me handle it," he said, then stood up and walked out of the classroom. Section A star class was known for being responsible, intelligent, disciplined, and dignified, especially with Jake Martinez as their class president. Just as Jake was about to step out of the door, he suddenly stopped and quickly turned around to walk back to his seat. A man had entered their classroom. If you were to estimate, he might be in his late twenties. He was wearing a blue long-sleeve shirt, white slacks, and black shoes. His hair was neat, and he had reading glasses on. Bianca swallowed hard as his gaze swept over her and locked onto her. She found herself staring back, captivated by the man's striking appearance. The only word she could think of was, he's perfect.
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

Worse still, he was always in the news for dating numerous celebrities. Rosalynn persevered until she couldn't take it anymore. She upped and left after filing for a divorce. Everything changed days later. Brian took interest in a designer that worked for his company anonymously. From her profile, he could tell that she was brilliant and dazzling. He pulled the stops to find out her true identity. Little did he know that he was going to receive the greatest shocker of his life.

Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me." Belinda coldly pushed away the bouquet of flowers he had offered her and coolly replied, "It's too late. The bridge has been burned, and the ashes have long since scattered to the wind!"
After a heated confrontation with her husband and mistress, Brianna was pushed down to stairs. She thought she would die but when she woke up again, she realized that she traveled back two years ago, when it was not late for her to correct her path. The first thing she needed to do when she was reborn was divorce that scum. She saved from the darkest time but he lied to her and murdered her in the end. This time, she would not repeat the same mistakes anymore. She would bring the glory of her family back and make those people who betrayed her pay the price! However, in the process of climbing up to the peak of her career, she met a very intimidating and handsome man who kept on messing with her head through his bold attitude. Brianna doesn't want to be involved with another man again, for she has proven to herself that they will just drag her down, but her constant incidents with him are slowly breaking the wall she built to protect her heart. Brianna will surely choose her career over a man this time, but it's possible to choose both, right? What if he hurt her too? No! She won't risk it but. "You have to run away from me, Bree. Coz I'm done running away, I'll chase you now."
