Rooted from Debt (COMPLETED)

Prologue

Clark

I don't wanna give her up. I don't wanna let her go. I can give up everything just for me to freely have her in my arms forever. I could defy and break a universal rule just to be with her but I can't be selfish.

I just can't coz she deserves better than I am. She deserves nothing but the best.

Dark, you need to follow Mr. Z in China as soon as possible. He already needs to pay for the million lives he ruined. You need to move fast.

Leave your fiancee. I already warned you to never engage in any romantic business while your still an agent under me but you're too stubborn. Too stubborn that you could have destroyed your life as well.

There's no more time to be wasted. Follow him if you still want justice for your family and if you still want your so-called fiancee live a normal life when she wakes up.

You'll meet your partner in Seoul. He'll give you a call as soon as you get there.

Mind, Dark. Follow your brain this time.

Kahapon ko pa nabasa ang email ng boss namin pero hanggang ngayon, nahihirapan pa din akong isagawa ang nabuong plano sa utak ko.

Tears started to cascade down my cheeks as I look at her still unconsciously lying on the hospital bed. Isang buwan na mula ng mangyari ang engkwentrong muntik nang bumawi sa buhay niya and it was all my fault.

Bree, why do we have to be destined this way? Why did fate let us feel so much in love with each other if we can't be together? Not now. Not ever.

Ingat na ingat kong hinaplos ang kanyang magandang mukha. Ang mukhang kailanman ay hindi pala hinulma para sa akin.

Mapait akong napangiti saka pinahid ang luhang kumawala sa aking mga mata. Di ko alam kong gugustuhin ko bang magising siya habang nandito pa ako o huwag muna hangga't di ako umaalis.

Di ko mapigilang haplusin ang daliri niya kung saan nakasuot ang engagement ring na ibinigay ko sa kanya tatlong buwan na ang nakaraan. I can still remember how nervous I was when I asked her..

Will you marry me?

I thought she will reject me or she's not yet ready but she kissed me and answered YES. I feel like that was the best answer I got my whole life. I'm the luckiest man alive, I thought.

We are suppose to get married after a year but I guess destiny has always its way to let you down when you're already on top. Nagising na lang ako isang araw na di pala kami pwede.

I love you so much, Bree. I even love you more than I am suppose to do.

How I wish you don't feel the same way.

Pikit mata kong sinend kay Third ang text message ko. Third is the only friend I got, ever since. He is the only person I can trust and the only person I can entrust Bree with.

Third, I need you to come over here. I just wanna pay for something priceless you did in the past.

That's the exact content of my message. I immediately turn off my phone. I heaved a deep sigh as I caressed her soft cheeks.

I won't be able to touch her this way again so I'm savoring the last drop of time that I got because the moment Third will step on this room later, she'll already belong to him.
