Sabi nila .. everything happens for a reason.

Simula bata ako naniniwala ako doon eh. I believe that everything are meant to happen because there will always be a good reason behind it.

Eh ano ito? Are the shits that are consecutively happening in my life now have reasons? A purpose or what?

Kasi kahit anong baliktad ko yata sa mundo ay hindi ko alam kung ano ang purpose nito. What? Just for these dickheads to gain filthy power and authority? Is that it?

If that's the case .. then what the heck is good with that?

I bitterly gulped the lump on my chest as I saw Steffan hand me the sign pen that he used to sign the documents in front of us.

That's right. On the very spot where he threatened the life of my loved ones, he pulled out from somewhere I don't freaking know multiple copies of a marriage contract.

He prepared for this and keenly planned this even before my plane arrived here in France. Funny cause this is as if just a plain contract of real estate agreement.

Not that I want to be wed with him with ceremonies and other traditional stuffs. I just think this is way too petty. Hindi ko halos masikmura ang katotohanang maikakasal ako ngayon sa demonyong ito sa oras na tanggapin ko ang panulat na inaalok n'ya at pirmahan ang kasulatan sa mga papel.

"C'mon little sunshine, let's not make the papers wait. My snipers might be bored and accidentally pull the trigger if we took too much time staring at the papers" he mocked which I made me fuming mad.

This freaking retarded asshole! Makakabawi rin ako sa inyo!

Padarag kong kinuha ang sign pen at nanginginig ko itong ipinuwesto sa ibaba ng papel kung saan dapat ako pipirma.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Napapikit ako ng mariin at hinayaang malugmok ang sarili sa kawalan ng dusa habang pikit matang iginalaw ang panulat sa aking kanang kamay.

" K-kaius" I unconsciously whispered.

And as if on cue, a loud shattering of glasses bombarded the dining hall of this hotel.

I gasped loudly when someone clutched me from behind. Hindi ko pa man nasisimulang dampian ng tinta ang papel ng bigla nang may kumaladkad sa akin mula kung saan. Paglingon ko. It's one of Steffan's men.

What the heck is going on?

"Fvck this Vercetti!" I heard Steffan exclaimed in a very angry manner as he motioned his men to move around.

Gumulo ang paligid. The hotel guests peacefully dining earlier are now in clamor and calamity.

There are shoutings, cries, shrieks and whimpers around. Halos mawalan rin ako ng sariling pandinig sa sunod sunod na putok ng baril sa paligid.

Shit! It feels like this is a de ja vu. The very same experience that I have back when I was still on the island.

" Run Serenity away from here!" rinig kong utos muli ni Steffan habang nakikipagpalitan ng putok ng baril.

As if an automatic response from Steffan order. I was dragged again by I don't know who to I don't know where. Doon ko lang napagtanto na tauhan lahat ito ni Steffan dahil agad itong sumunod sa utos.
