Joaquin didn’t hesitate. “I’ll help you.”His words hung in the air, unwavering and absolute.Menea studied him, her otherworldly eyes filled with both hope and doubt. The breeze stirred her long, silken hair, making her look even more ethereal against the moonlit forest. “Are you sure?” she asked softly. “Our world is… not like this one. The dangers there are ancient and powerful. If you enter unprepared, you may not return.”Joaquin swallowed hard, but his resolve didn’t waver. “I know the risks. But if I can do something—anything—to stop this darkness, then I have to try.”Master Iroh shifted, his face lined with worry. “Boy, your training isn’t finished. You can barely control the sight you’ve been given. The Black Veil… it’s beyond what you’re ready for.”Joaquin turned to his mentor. “Then finish my training. Or show me what I need to know. But don’t tell me to walk away.” His voice hardened. “You taught me that strength isn’t just about power—it’s about standing up when other

Joaquin still couldn't believe what was happening.He had spent days adjusting to seeing ghosts and spirits—now, he was walking beside an actual Diwata.Menea moved gracefully, her feet barely making a sound against the forest floor. Despite her urgency, there was something about her presence that felt... unearthly, as if she didn’t fully belong to this world. Joaquin kept stealing glances at her, his mind still struggling to process that Maria was half-Diwata, that an entire enchanted kingdom existed beyond what he knew.But more than that, he kept thinking about the look in Menea’s eyes when she said, Our world is in danger.Maria walked ahead of them, her posture tense. Joaquin could tell she was both anxious and overwhelmed. He didn’t blame her. Seeing her mother after all these years, only to be told of some impending disaster? That was a lot.And yet, Maria hadn’t hesitated to take action.That was one thing he admired about her.They soon reached Master Iroh’s home.Joaquin

Joaquin woke to the sound of soft knocking.He forced himself upright, blinking away the lingering fatigue. The dim light filtering through the wooden window told him it was still midnight.The knocking came again, gentle but insistent.He sighed, running a hand through his hair before getting up and opening the door.Maria stood outside, dressed in a simple white blouse and a long skirt that reached her ankles. Her dark hair was loosely tied over her shoulder, and in the faint morning glow, her hazel eyes looked almost golden.“Come with me.” Her voice was quiet, but firm.Joaquin frowned. “Where?”“You’ll see.”Joaquin hesitated. He still felt drained, his head slightly pounding from the overwhelming sensations that had bombarded him ever since his Third Eye had been opened. But something about the way Maria was looking at him told him this was important.With a tired exhale, he nodded. “Alright. Lead the way.”They walked in silence.The forest stretched around them, dense and aliv

Joaquin was exhausted.The weight of his training, the constant presence of spirits, and the strain on his mind were starting to take a toll on him. Even when he closed his eyes, he could still see them—some lingering in the corners of the temple, others wandering outside, whispering to themselves.At first, he had flinched at every shadow, every flicker of movement beyond the normal world. But after days of enduring it, he was learning how to ignore them.He exhaled slowly, letting the crisp morning air fill his lungs as he sat cross-legged outside, attempting to meditate. Focus your mind. That’s the key. That was what Master Iroh had told him. If he wanted control, he had to learn how to discipline his thoughts.But just as he was starting to clear his mind—His phone rang.Joaquin’s eyes flicked open, and he instinctively grabbed his phone. Serena.Without hesitation, he answered. “Hey.”“Joaquin.” Serena’s voice was soft, and hesitant, but there was an underlying urgency. “How

Joaquin woke up to the scent of burning incense and the soft murmur of morning wind slipping through the open windows. His body ached, and his limbs felt heavy, but he wasn’t the same as yesterday.He could still see them.Even now, as he sat up in bed, faint figures drifted in the corners of the room—shadows that didn’t belong, whispers that faded the moment he tried to focus on them.It was overwhelming, yet… oddly quieter than last night.Joaquin exhaled, rubbing his temples. His forehead still tingled, that same burning awareness from before lingering behind his eyes. He didn’t know if he was supposed to feel different, but something inside him had shifted.A soft knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts.Maria peeked in, holding a wooden tray with breakfast. “You’re awake.”Joaquin stretched, wincing as his muscles protested. “Barely.”Maria smiled as she set the tray on the small table. “You look better than you did last night. I thought you were going to pass out for days

Joaquin’s breath came in short, ragged bursts.The world around him had changed.At first, he thought it was just his imagination—maybe a trick of the dim candlelight or the exhaustion messing with his head. But the longer he stared, the more undeniable it became.They were everywhere.Faint silhouettes drifted in and out of sight—wisps of figures lingering in the corners of the room, shifting just beyond the flickering candlelight. Some had hollow eyes and dark pits where human expressions should be. Others looked almost normal, their faces frozen in silent despair.The worst part?They were looking at him.Joaquin squeezed his eyes shut and took a shaky breath. This isn’t real. This isn’t real. But when he opened them again, they were still there—watching, waiting.His pulse thundered in his ears. His body felt heavier as if something unseen was pressing down on his shoulders.“What the hell…” he whispered.Master Iroh sat cross-legged in front of him, completely unfazed, his wrinkl

“Where have you been?” Floyd stopped entering his room when he saw Aby inside. “Aby. You didn’t tell me you’re coming home.” Aby smiled. She put down the magazine she was reading to the table. Then she stood up and went to Floyd. She was about to kiss him on the cheeks when she smelled the alcohol he drinks. “Are you drunk?” Floyd shook his head. He closed the door and smiled at Aby. “Yeah… A bit. Danica brought me to a club and Nelson was there too. I can’t say no to him. You know…” “O… kay? I understand. Come on.” Aby helped Floyd to sit on the couch. “Let me prepare tea for you.” “No need, Aby.” Floyd grunted. “Sit with me.” Aby sighed. She sat beside Floyd. “How’s your company? Is it okay now?” Aby nodded. “Yeah. Actually, I wanted to say thanks again, that's why I’m here.” “It’s okay, Aby. I already told you.” “I know. But I think it’s still not enough. You can ask me a favor. Anything! I will do it.” Floyd chuckled. “Be careful what you wished for, Aby.” “Huh?” Aby f

“He was just appointed, and he is already wasting money!” Carlo exclaimed. “He just invested at his wife’s company! We should do something about this, Father!”Arnel grunted. “I know. We’ve been ignoring the Chua’s proposal. And yet he even bought a stock for his wife?”“Tsk! I know that woman is just after our money!” Carla said.“But what can we do? He is now the chairman. He could do everything he wanted.” Crude took a sip from his glass.“You are not helping, Crude.” Carla glared at her brother. Crude just shrugged about it.“No… this should end now!”The siblings smiled as they saw the determination on their father’s face. They will never accept Floyd as their new master. They will take company no matter what.~~~“Is everything here?” Amethyst asked their head maid.“Yes, madam.”“Okay. I want everything to be perfect, okay?”“As you wish, Madam. You can trust us.”Amethyst smiled and let the head maid go. That was the time when Floyd went down from his room. He looked around an

Floyd woke up early to go back to his office. But even before he left, he received a call from his secretary.“Young master, your wife needs you.”Floyd looked at Johnson while fixing his necktie. “What happened?”“His Uncle is causing a scene in their company. Also, Leah told me to check your email. It’s done already.”Floyd sighed and stopped what he was doing. “I knew this would happen.” He shook his head. “Do I have any important meetings right now?”“Ahm, you have—”“Cancel it. Let’s go visit my wife.”Floyd finished fixing himself. He hurried out of the mansion and got into a car. Maybe that's why Aby can't tell him directly about his problem. Because it's embarrassing. But Floyd owes Aby a lot. And as they agreed he will help him. Not because she is his wife on paper, but because she is also his best friend.Before entering the building, he saw people holding placards in front of Chua's building.“What is happening here?”“I think they are protesting, sir. I’ve heard that the C

“So, how’s the new chairman?”Floyd stopped staring at the documents when he heard a voice. He looked at the door and saw Aby approaching her.“Aby! Sit down!” he said gracefully. He put the papers down and hugged Aby. “How are you?”“Good. Just a bit stressed out.”“That’s too early?”Aby sighed. She sat down at the chair near Floyd’s table. Floyd then sat back in his chair and stared at Aby.“I know, this is too sudden. And you just got appointed. But I need your help now.”“What kind of help?”Aby looked away. She didn’t want to do this but she had to. Her uncle was already pressuring her family. She didn’t want them to want her family to lose their business.“I need your family to invest in us.”Floyd frowned a bit. Aby didn’t tell him anything about investing in their company. He sighed and interlocked his fingers.“I-I know this is sudden. But—” Aby sighed. “Okay. I’ll be honest with you. Our family is not in a good situation now. We might lose our business if you won’t help me.

The next day, Floyd went to Lim’s company. Everyone was preparing for the board meeting. The family will be present and all of their business partners. Everyone was waiting to meet the next chairman. Words had passed so fast.“I will announce to everyone now that you will be the chairman of the company,” Johnson said. The three of them were in his office, getting ready to go to the company. “For sure, there would be some board members who would not agree. But I have already made sure of your position. You need to be strong now, Floyd. I believe in you.”Floyd took a deep breath. “I don’t know, Father. I’m nervous.”“That’s okay, brother. It’s normal. But we are here for you. We will guide you and make sure that you are in that position,” Johan answered.“Yes. As long as your brother handles our security company. No one will dare touch you. I trust you with it, Johan.”“Of course, Father.”Floyd nodded. He fisted her arms and took a deep breath again. He couldn’t explain how nervous he

Their night continued. Johnson rested early because he suddenly felt that he was tired. Amethyst helped him to his room. The rest except for Arnel Lim’s family stayed in the dining area. They were drinking wine. The kids were dancing and playing. Others remained to talk about business-related matters.“Mom, do I really need to be married to Floyd again?” Aby asked her mother. They were on the other side of the room. She had been thinking about the marriage they’d talked about earlier. She agreed to it, but she was worried about Floyd.“Why? Is there something you wanted to tell me, Abigail?”Aby’s eyes widened a bit. “Ahh, no. Of course, none. I’m just worried. You saw what happened earlier, right?”“It’s normal. You have the same uncle as your husband. What we need to do is to ensure our family's position in this clan. Being with them will make us prosper more. Since you are back here, you will work at our company again.”“Huh? But I need to go back to Croatia soon.”“What will you
