Sandejas Legacy #6: Shattered Bullets (A DARK ROMANCE) "Sandejas Legacy continues..." "Every shattered piece of mine is yours..." Lethal, heartless, and frigid. Bullet, often referred to as Scythe, is the killing machine. She is notorious in the underworld and makes a life off of killing people. Men included were terrified of her. A look from her eyes will guarantee quick death, and even the mere mention of her name can take down opponents. She was Wyatt Anderson Sr.'s weapon, therefore she had no choice but to comply when she was given the assignment to spy on Colonel Zion Schauffer Sandejas, DEA's new acting director. She was very certain she had the man in the palm of her hand, but Bullet was unaware of the secrets from her past. That it would ultimately crumble her to pieces--shattered, perhaps. Because she may be the weapon of death but...he was the death itself.

Every heartbreak is cliche. When I was young, I met a prince who told me I'm beautiful. Sabi niya, paglaki namin, liligawan niya 'ko. We grew up, but unfortunately, I had a reverse story of the ugly duckling. The prince continued to be a prince, while I became the unpretty duck that wouldn't become swan. Bumuhaghag ang buhok ko. Umitim ako. Natadtad ng taghiyawat. Sasabihin siguro ng iba, okay lang pumangit paglaki. Beauty is something that should shine from within. But that's not completely true. Kahit ga'no kaganda ang kalooban, laging huhusgahan ang hitsura. People judge with the eyes first-always. I learned that everyone desires to be interesting, but not different. There is a standard and everyone wants the same thing-beauty, recognition, intellect. I only wanted one thing-to stop dreaming for the prince. But he's Maxwell. When he's in my life, he pulls me into his magnetic field no matter how much I resist. When he's out of my sight, I miss him. Nagkaatraso ako sa kanya no'ng college. As fate would have it, we are going to see each other. Again.
