Agercia Series 1: Her Finest Betrayal

C h a p t e r 2

SHE TRIED to be more careful in her every move. The First Archon and his team were just around. There were also cameras all around the mansion. She found out from her observation.

Sa iisang bubong lang sila lahat nakatira, ang butler na si Than at ang tracker na si Zyl pati na si Salem ay matagal ng naninirahan sa mansyon ng unang Archon at walang eksaktong oras ang kanilang mga trabaho. She then wondered how each of them would have a normal life if this was the situation they entered into.

"What's up," said Salem.

Salem sat down next to her and handed her a glass of wine.

"You're an alcoholic? You always have alcohol in your hand" he said, then drank a shot.

"Kesa naman sayo na laging dagger ang hawak," Salem said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes then gave Salem a half smile "Let's mind our own business. By the way, where's the first Archon?"

Salem drank first before answering her question "In the capitol, he is a congressman of this province and the first Archon in the organization."

"Congressman?" She asked in shock.

"Looks like you don't know anything yet. I'll introduce them all to you because you'll be with them for a long time or maybe for the rest of your life."

"Cong. Zandro Miller, that's how people know him, but a First Archon to us. The parents of the First Archon died and no one knows what the cause was. Theoretically dahil walang kasiguraduhan kung iyon nga ang tunay na naganap... Lord Miller was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. He loses consciousness in any situation, so you are what he needs the most, a protector."

"Since when was he diagnosed?" Ara asked.

"Since his parents died."

Ara was slightly silent, she didn't expect them to have the same fate. "All right, I'll watch over him."

"You should because you're his Sandra. Moving forward, you already know the butler. He was from Spain and was part of a noble family. If you ask why he's a butler, all I know is that it's an honor to his family. Don't ask why, because I don't know either. While Zyl is a businessman here in the Philippines, he is the owner of Megan's Resorts and Hotels."

"What about you?" She suddenly asked.

"Me?, I'm no one. The first Archon just found me somewhere. He saved me from the brink of death, so I serve him in return and gratitude. How about you?" Salem asked her back.

"I'm no one just like you, I have no ownership. I joined Agercia for a reason."

"Ano naman yon?" Salem asked in curiosity.

"I'm looking for someone" she answered sparingly.

"Who are you looking for? "Zyl interrupted and sat on the ledge of the balcony and sipped coffee.

" A person who is in arrears with me has to pay his debt" she answers honestly.

"He must be good at hiding. Look how scary your eyes are now," Zyl said, then sipped his coffee again.

"Come on, Ara has an angelic face, so he shouldn't be afraid", Salem laughed with a smirk.

"The word revenge is unbearable, it can change you into a monster, so be careful. I'm just reminding you, the organization can't help you, especially if you do badly. Its purpose is to provide sanctity and peace... not revenge." Zyl's cold response, gazing at the dark sky.

"I'm aware" she answered sparingly and suddenly the atmosphere became quiet as no one attempted to speak again.

"You guys must be resting, our day has been too long," Zandro said, who had just arrived.
