Chapter 27

Eissen's POV

Kakababa ko lang sa taxi na aking sinakyan na galing pang ospital kung saan naka-confine si Lola kaso wala doon si Lola— wala na siya doon nang makarating ako pati na ang nars niya.

Malakas ang ulan. Maya't maya ang salitan ng kulog at kidlat sa itaas pero wala akong mas iniintindi kung hindi ang Lola ko! Itinaas ko ang aking tingin sa matayog na gate ng mansyon ni Don Yael Wycliffe.

A lightning bolt cuts through the dark, gloomy, and weeping skies, lighting up the surroundings for seconds, followed by a loud clap of thunder. I’m soaked from the pouring rain. I’m cold—very cold—but the rage inside keeps me burning, standing like steel outside Satan’s den.

Earlier, masama na ang panahon sa isla. The Wycliffe brothers didn’t want me to go home, but my eagerness, fear, and worry for my grandmother didn’t stop me from coming back here with only my body. I left everything there. I left my belongings on that island. All I had was my phone, dripping with water, and my money—the only card I had where Don Yael deposits the funds.

However, I didn’t just leave my things there; I also left my heart and soul on the island. The Wycliffe brothers also remained there. Physically, I may be in the city, but I’ve already given my heart to the three men back there.

What a life! It feels like I’m trapped in the middle of a maze held in Don Yael’s palms. He’s had me captive from the very start of my mission. It’s as if he placed an invisible leash around my neck, preventing me from escaping his grasp. That cunning, evil man! It feels like he orchestrated everything from the beginning.

My lips quiver in response to the cold seeping into my system. I raise my trembling hand and press the doorbell.

Hindi nagtagal ay may lumabas ng isang lalaki galing sa loob dala ang isang itim na payong. Namumukhaan ko ang lalaki, siya rin iyong lalakigg sumalubong sa akin noon nang mag-apply ako sa tang inang babysitter pero iyong pala papaamuhin ko pala ang anak niya.

"Come in." Maiksing saad nito at niluwagan ang gate.

Sa unang tapak ko rito sa mansyon ay manghang-mangha ako sa lugar. Pero ngayon habang binabaybay ko ang daan papasok sa mansyon ni Don Yael, ay wala akong ibang nararamdaman ngayon kung hindi galit!

Masakit sa balat ko ang malalaking patak ng ulan pero mas masakit ang puso ko dahil sa pag-aalala sa lola ko.

Pagkatapak ko sa malaking tanggapan ng mansyon, may lalaking naglagay ng towel sa balikat ko ngunit hindi ko ito binalingan. Dere-dertso lang ako hanggang sa makita ko si Don Yael sa living area, humihithit ng sigarilyo. At nang makita niya ako binaba niya iyong sigarilyo niya sa ashtray na nasa babasaging center table at diniin doon upang mamatay ang apoy. May mga tauhan siyang nasa paligid na naka-uniporme na kulay itim.

Ngumiti si Don Yael pero hindi ko magawang suklian ang ngiting binigay niya sa akin. Walang nakakatuwa. Walang mabuting bagay na ikangingiti ko.

"How are you, Eissen? It's been... a long time!" Hindi ko alam kung nang-aasar ba siya o ano.

"N-nasaan ang Lola ko!"

Don Yael tilted his head to one side, crossing his arms with deliberate ease. Despite the passage of time, the aura of authority and power he exudes remains undeniable. Even from meters away, I can feel the weight of his presence pressing down on me. In that moment, I feel small and utterly powerless, as though the very air around him bends to his will.
