REECE'S POV

"This is absurd, Reece!" Onyx exclaimed as I massaged my own aching forehead. "We were investigating nonstop with no rest because we're afraid to get your family in danger but you just let the enemy inside this mansion!"

"Isa sa El Trio ang pinapasok mo, boss. Saksi ka sa naging pag-uusap sa asembliya." mahinahon ang boses ni Lucas. "May hinanakit sa mga Buenavista ang mga Altamura."

"Who knows he is just playing weak to enter our territory?!" dagdag pa ni Onyx. "You need to get him out, Reece! He is a threat-"

"He is not a threat!" sumabog na ako at tumayo. Hindi na ako nakapagpigil pa. Masyado ng napuno ang tenga ko. "Hindi niyo ba nakita?! He was soaking and freezing in the rain! I can't just let him stay outside!"

"Pwede naman natin siyang dalhin pabalik sakanila, boss." suhestiyon ni Lucas.

"He has a huge mansion of his own, Reece! Why the hell would he come here?!" Tanong niya na para bang may sagot ako. " He has a hidden agenda and we all could get in danger-"

"He is my wife, Odrius!" I shouted at him. "He is not a danger!"

"Oh come on!" galit niyang sambit. Wari'y napupuno na din. "Wake up, Sebastian!" his voice filled with anger echoed along the four walls of the mansion. "That boy lying on the bed of your room is not your wife!" Napamura ako nung lumala ang pananakit ng ulo ko. "You were there in the assembly and you know that Caden would never harm or even threat anyone with words like that!"

"Iba din ang kulay ng mga mata niya, boss. Imposibleng maging si Caden 'yon." sumingit si Lucas. "Namatay siya sa bridge dalawang taon na ang nakalilipas."

Dahil sa sinambit na 'yon ni Lucad, muling bumalik sa isip ko ang mga nangyari ng araw na 'yon. Ang araw na nawala siya.

Nanginig ang kamao ko sa galit at sakit. Huminga ako ng malalim at pilit na nilabanan ang nagbabagang apoy na nagsisimula ng pumuno sakin.

"It's about time for you to accept that your wife is dead!" hindi nakatulong ang muling pagsigaw ni Onyx.

He reminded me of the truth that I couldn't accept until now. No matter how long had passed, I just can't make myself believe that Caden is gone because I know he's alive.

Nararamdaman ko na ang pagkukulo ng dugo ko. "Caden is dead!" He yelled at me and I glared at him. "He killed himself! He took his own life because of y-"

Bago pa niya matapos ang sasabihin ay isang malakas na suntok na ang pinakawalan ko papunta sa panga niya. Hindi ako nagsayang ng segundo at sinapak na naman siya sa kabilang panga.
Nawalan siya ng balanse dahil sa malakas na impak ng kamao ko at napahiga sa siga.

Dinaganan ko siya at hinawakan ng mahigpit ang kwelyo niya. "You need to fucking shut up!" sigaw ko at pinaulanan ng sunod sunod na suntok. "My wife is alive, you hear me?!"

When I felt Lucas was about to step in to stop me, I was able to grab my gun from my back. I pulled the trigger and the bullet directly hit one of his legs. Napaluhod siya sa sahig at dumaing sa sakit.

Onyx took that oppurtunity to switch positions with me. Siya naman ngayon ang nakadagan sa akin. "Nababaliw ka na, Magnus!" sigaw niya tsaka malakas akong sinuntok sa pisngi. Bago pa man lumatag ang isa pa niyang kamao sakin ay maagap ko 'yong nasalo at napigilan.
