    "I can get used to this."

Marceline laughed as she popped another grape in my mouth.

"And here I thought you were the one who's gonna do the grovelling."

I pulled her waist closer. "I will once I get out of this hospital bed."

"Which you will by tomorrow."

After staying in the hospital for weeks, I was finally getting discharged. As much as I wanted to go back to my usual routine with Marceline, I had things to settle.

"Damon told me to wait for you at the club." Seryosong sabi ni Marceline.

"I just have to fix some things."

"What are you planning to do with Earl and Bert, Philip?"

"Something they deserve. You don't have to know. As I told you before, I'll make sure you're safe from them."

Worry is still evident in her eyes but she just smiled and nodded. I caressed her scar on her cheek. She's scheduled to have it lasered this week. She also wants to spend time with Lola Lu in the province. I'm happy she's getting her life back on track.

"You sure about this?" Tanong ni Winter sa akin. We are in one of his cars.

After getting discharged, I let Marceline go on and do the things she needed to do. Despite the mishap during the summer collection, the launch was still a success. The pieces are selling off the shelves like crazy. Locals loved their collaboration and the fact that the price points were reasonable enough made it appealing to the public.

"It's time. I have to make sure they don't bother me and Marceline again. She's been through hell and back Winter."

"Very well."

I don't know where we are but it was an underground location somewhere outside the metro. I entered the room and saw Bert suspended in the air.

"Don't worry, I just hanged him today. He wasn't like that for weeks." Natatawang sabi ni Winter sa akin.

In front of them is a table with different items used for torture. I didn't want to settle for this. It was a battle between my moral beliefs and my anger. I guess my anger got the better of me. I just had to remember the video and how Earl tried to do it again to Marceline.

Nilapitan ko si Bert. "I remember you. Sabi ko sa iyo noon na huwag mo na siyang lalapitan ulit 'di ba?"

Nakabusal ang mga bibig ng mga ito. I can only hear him whimper. Damon briefed me on the cases he is facing currently. He's hiding in the province. He thought he could get away with all of it.

"Sa dami ng taong may atraso ka, ni hindi nila iisipin na ako ang may gawa sa iyo ng gagawin ko ngayon." I twirled the knife in my hand before I hurled it in front of me. It missed him by an inch. It was supposed to scare him. It did. He already pissed out of nervousness. "Did that scare you? Now you know how she felt when you abducted her that night. You're good for nothing and a son of a bitch." I hurled another knife and this time, it ended on his thigh. He cried out in pain. I stretched my hand. "I need another one for good measure." I twirled two knives in my two hands. "Or maybe two."

"Sa dami ng taong may utang siya, parang ginawan mo pa siya ng pabor sa ginawa mo."

I smirked at Winter as I looked at my beloved cousin. He was sitting in a corner of the ring. I removed my shirt. I don't want to go home with any of his blood on me. I used to wear gloves whenever I did kickboxing. But I intend to inflict pain this time.
