The Black Rose Ecstacy (LCS Book 3)

TBRE: 78

Once again, I had my steps inside the Blinder's room when Art opened the door. Sumunod na rin siya sa akin. He locked the door right away at ang pag-uusap ng mga Blinders ay natigil nang mamataan kami. It suddenly turned quiet. How I wish it has always been like this. The feeling of comfort when I am with all of these loyal people around me.

Nakaupo sila sa mahabang lamesa. I went to the front kung saan may bakanteng upuan. Art remained standing by my right side. Nasa bandang likuran ko siya. As always, he's with his mask and katana. Nakaupo sa kanan ko si Trent at katabi si Shawn. Nasa kaliwa naman si Chadwick, katabi sina Shivansh at Spencer. All in all, there were six of us.

They are all silent, waiting for me to speak. Nakatingin silang lahat sa akin, "I'm running out of time so let's get into our agenda," I spoke. Sumandal ako sa kinauupuan at ipinatong ang mga kamay sa magkabilang arm chair. This may also be the last time that I'd be sitting here with my Blinders.

They don't know yet what's about to happen but I am hoping that everything would change once she changes her mind through that letter.

I am hoping and am being hopeful.

I looked at the table, "The main reason why we are having our secret meeting in this room is because I will tell you what's gonna happen sooner. I am fully aware that majority of my men have joined the enemies' side. Therefore," I faced them, "I cannot depend on anyone but only to you who are present here, and a special person," I added.

"My enemies are on their way to the fire island."

"Pwede ba naming malaman kung sino sa mga kalaban mo, boss?" Chadwick asked. As always, this blinder of mine is always curious. Which is why I adore him that much, no wonder siya palagi ang napapansin ko.

I smirked, "Sacra Camorra."

Nagkatinginan sila, "Therefore, we should do something about it, Sir," Trent as always, serious.

I could see concern from their eyes and I am deeply fluttered. Mas nag-aalala pa sila sa akin kaysa sa sarili nila, "We don't have to do something about it. Dahil ngayon pa lang, sasabihin ko na sa inyo, na kahit anong gawin natin, matatalo tayo. In fact, we were already defeated since from the start, the moment someone betrayed us. Our weaknesses has been their main target ever since it was revealed," kusang nagkuyom ang mga kamay ko, I can't imagine seeing them using the person I love as the perfect bait to lure me.

"But for the enemies, destroying the island is not the main goal of victory, even the organization itself. Their attack can only be considered victorious once they get to behead me," isa-isa ko silang tinignan. Salubong ang mga kilay nila, which means to say they are being serious about this matter.

"Sir, who's the traitor?" we looked at Shawn. Nakasandal siya at magkakrus ang mga kamay.
