Jerrick
He arranged for them to meet at the rooftop. His original plan was to do it a little more later but after hearing that she met with him, he suddenly couldn't wait any longer.
Who said you are allowed to be happy? You don't deserve a second of it.
He checked his watch. She should be here any minute now. He fixed his suit and made sure the wine was chilled. He's going to celebrate later, alone.
Cheers to the total destruction of Mr. Richard Faulkerson Jr.

She took a drag of the cigar they shared. It was 3 o'clock in the morning, but no amount of partying or sex could make her fall asleep. She was too upset.
"What I don't understand is, what do they see in him? He's nothing special, he would never probably even finish High School of it weren't for my parents. Kung ibida sya ni Daddy, nako kung marinig mo lang sana, baka masuka ka! Its infuriating! I'm their daughter, their flesh and blood, but the way they treat him and boast about him to everyone parang sya yung anak at ako yung sampid lang e!"
She felt his warm hand massage her neck, " May araw rin yang hambog na yan. Time will come, pagsisisihan nila Daddy na nakilala nila yang Richard na yan! Akala mo kung sino kung umasta! Alam mo bang anak lang ng alahera ng Mama yan? Naka angat lang akala mo naman pag-aari nya na lahat ng tao."
"i know, i know babe." he kissed her bare shoulder and then slowly made his way down, stopping just above her hip. "Akong bahala, when I'm done with him, he's going to regret having been born. I promise."
He gave her one torrid kiss on the mouth and moved down to her other lip.

"Wow, may set up pa? May nag date ba dito kanina Rick?" he poured her a glass of wine before walking to greet her.
"Para sayo yan." he felt the weight in his pocket getting heavier. Soon, baby, you'll get to come out and play soon. "Wine?"
"No thanks, I'm driving." she tried to look unfazed but he could see that she was getting nervous. It was so easy to read her, all you have to do is to pay attention to her eyes.
"We can read later. One glass, Maine. It won't hurt." Not as much as what is going to happen to you after I'm done. He smiled as he took the glass from him and sipped, "Good girl."
"So, why did we meet up here again? Usually dun sa restaurant sa baba." she said as she walked to the low wall at the edge of the rooftop and looked down to streets below, her back now on Jerrick.
"Maine, can I ask you something?" She didn't move, didn't even look to face him, you rude little bitch, I'll make you pay for that later. "You think you can go out on a date with me?" he stared at her, watching for the slightest movement. She kept silent.
"I guess that's a no then? Bakit, dahil ba kay Richard?" she turned to answer but froze when she saw him pointing a gun at her.
"Bakit Maine? Is he better than me?" His voice sounded more like a sneer and it sent chills fown her spine. She was too stunned to speak. Oh look, so she does know how to shut up.
"Mas gwapo ba? Mas mayaman, though i doubt that, i made sure i closed the last of his wretched bars. Ano Maine? Tell me! What makes him better than me? Do let me know." He laughed and he saw that it made her shiver, which made him laugh even more.
