Dangerous Resurrection

CHAPTER 19

"Milady" Fhiana said seriously, catching my attention. I just watched her walk closer to me before I motioned for her to sit.

"I found out something more about Rhuse Anne Cort, from my talk with Gladz." I sat up straight, still looking at her seriously.

"What is it?" I asked, my voice full of curiosity.

"But before I tell you... Gladz said she didn't notice her stepmother was there the first day we saw her." I just took a deep breath at her words. After all, it was no surprise Gladz didn't notice her—she was too busy asking for help.

"What else?" I asked again.

"When she was still held captive by her father, she learned a few things. She ofter heard that their leader came all the way from the country of Jaquete just to see the prisoners." She explained, and I listened quietly.

"But what really shocked me was this: she heard that Rhuse Anne Cort might be their leader's wife, or maybe just one of his favorite women. Gladz heard it from the guards who watched her and they also said that the two had fucked." I could not help but feel a wave of nausea rise within me at those words.

Damn it. That means dalawa sila ang kumakama sakanya? And their leader actually let her be with Esteron too?

"And?" I asked, frowning.

"Gladz also said that the supreme leader himself once visited her in her cell... and looked at her with desire." My frown grew deeper. I turned my head aside and scratched near my eye.

Luca.

That's right... Luca. Is it possible he is the father? From what Gladz told me, she never knew who the father was dahil sa maraming lalaki ang gumahasa sakanya kaya hindi nya namukaan ang mga ito.

So maybe...

Maybe...

Fuck. I need to find out everything about this man.

"But she also saw a tattoo on him that she will never forget." I looked back at her. "A centipede. Tattooed on his hand and running all the way up his arm."

My eyes narrowed. I had a strange feeling na parang malapit na lang ang lalaking 'to sa akin ngayon. Fhiana stayed quiet beside me while I kept thinking deeply.

I stayed lost in thought for several more minutes before dismissing Fhiana. She bowed before leaving, and said she would bring me food later—na hindi ko na binigyan ng sagot.

My body felt heavy as I stood up from the couch and then fell back onto the bed. Damn it... this is so tiring. I deserve a reward, don't I?

Speaking of rewards... I hugged my pillow as I remembered what I had been planning. That's right.

Races.

Not only will I have fun—I will get rich if I win every race. I couldn't stop laughing like a madwoman just thinking about it. *Evil Laugh* I can already feel all that money coming.

I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was still noon, so I had plenty of time to rest.

Minutes later, I saw Fhiana walk in carrying food. I quickly sat up and walked to the table—the same table Livinghell used to eat at while she was still alive.
