(The Lost Souls on Tour: The First Tour) Reed Gustave Argyros was born with an embodiment of rock and roll, and music running in his veins. He believes that his passion for music is the sole thing that only matters to him after his mother died. Yet, with one glimpse of her obsidian orbs where the darkness conceals, Gustave had no idea that her gaze would be his demise. If love at first sight doesn't exist, then why did Gustave sense the unknown throbbing of his heart from the minute the ocean touched the darkness? Wala na, alam na niyang nahulog na siya. Who wouldn't anyway? Kaya nga gagawin niya ang lahat upang pati ang kadiliman, mahulog din sa asul na dagat. Hindi siya papayag na siya lang ang nababaliw rito. One-sided love? Hell no. He will get her, he will own her. And he is sure that he can succeed. Gustave was confident that he will get everyone under his control. Sensuous, sexy, and hot. He even got the looks, the body, the voice, and the chivalry that could make every woman fall onto their knees. But when it comes to her, he suddenly feels insecure. Isang sulyap, hindi na muling nasundan. Isang salita, hindi na muling napansin. One question made Gustave ponder if there is still something lacking in him. Gustave isn't a fan of giving up. Thus, he will do anything to make her notice him, to make her know him. Ngunit hindi lahat ng bagay aayon sa gusto niya. Years had passed, and he had gone unnoticed. Imbis na magsawa, lalong nahulog. Ngunit mananatili na lang ba siyang nakatingin mula sa malayo? Wala na ba talaga siyang pag-asa? When he will be noticed? When she will know him? Will she ever know him? - [Grammatical Errors, Typo Errors, and Loopholes ahead.

My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.
