Hot. Everything turned hotter, like a fireball was churning her stomach. Rose felt as though she was boiling. Her vision started to blurry the more she tried to keep awake and blinked her eyes to keep her head on straight. But it only got worse. Above her, Rose could see Xavier’s as he stared at her with a bemused expression. She hates this. Her foster brother is her enemy and she does not want him to see her in this state. “THIS IS YOUR FAULT..” she said in clenching teeth. “I WILL NEVER LIKE A BASTARD LIKE YOU.” Rose pushed him. Xavier fell flat on the ground while looking at her in confusion. “Sh*t! I wanted to kill you right now,” Rose said before she collapsed on the ground. All strength left her body. Like a cotton doll, weighed down by water. Then suddenly, Rose touched her sensitive spot which was throbbing. When Xavier saw that, he quickly turned his head away. ‘Damn. What’s happening?!’ he asked to himself while panicking. He heard a hot breath coming from Rose.

Six cars parked in the narrow road of the forest. Two men stood in front of each other. Behind them, men pointed their guns to their enemies.It is a civil war inside the Harbor Port Mafia.Kilometers away from the Black Penthouse, Spade and Gian met with threatening greetings.“No matter how far we are, the people in the penthouse will hear the gunshots,” Spade said to Gian.Sneering, Gian answered, “That’s why we need to put the guns down and talk quietly. Don’t you think so?”Spade smiled as he raised his hands. His men put down their guns. On the other side, Gian did the same.“Now, shall we?” Gian asked.Gian and Spade moved alone in the forest to talk. Although they did not bring their men with them, the guns around their waist would suffice.“Why did you come here?” Gian flung a sharp question.But Spade calmly answered.“Mr. Gabriel invited me to come so that he can introduce me to his family members.”“You know the rules, Spade. No one is allowed to approach the boss’s foster

The day to meet Bridgette and Simon has arrived. In the Gealt Port, Gian, Kija and Xavier came near the deck using the special pass tickets, which Kija bought from the black market. It was hard to get one, unless you are familiar with this kind of negotiation. To cover their identity, the three wear disguises. Xavier was wearing a baseball cap. Gian has round glasses. And Kija has a mask to cover half of his face. It is not best to overdo the disguise because the operator of the port is wary about tipsters. They have four hours to find Xavier’s family around the Harbor point. Since Bridgette got the ticket through an illegal way, if she misses the ship, her only choice is either she book another ticket next month, or just go back home. Thus, before Bridgette stepped inside the ship, Xavier had to find her. “There are more people around today than yesterday,” Kija uttered. “It seems there are a lot of illegal immigrants this month.” The Gealt Harbor is an area that provides shel

“Wait a minute!” Bridgette asked Haiden to slow down. They’ve been running endlessly around the port. Bridgette felt tired trying to match Haiden’s pace. But Haiden, who was carrying Simon in his arm, does not display fatigue in his face. “We cannot stop here! They are still following us!” Haiden said. “But…” Bridgette looked at the sea. She saw the ship which would send them away from Cesar. However, if they run to the side of the deck, their pursuers might catch them. ‘We cannot survive for another month.’ She was torn between staying or leaving. And while Bridgette was debating, Haiden wrapped his other arm around her waist and carried her like a light cargo. “Oh! W-What are you doing?!” Bridgette asked. Simon was amazed how strong Haiden is, that he could carry two people at the same time! “Because you’re not listening!” Haiden protested. “Put me down! You’d tire yourself out!” “As if.” Haiden picked up his pace and ran effortlessly while carrying Bridgette and Simon

Merly, the young maid who Gian planted in the Fugito mansion to spy Lewelyn, followed her madam. Lewelyn was eavesdropping to the conversation inside Cesar’s room. And so, Merly did the same thing. Although she was standing far from the room, she could hear the conversation very well. Merly has a keen sense of hearing. [“Find the data of the day when we forced Xavier to take the drug,” Cesar commanded. “When was it again? It was too long I couldn’t remember it. Anyway, find it as soon as possible. Also, get the sample of the drug from the lab.”] When Merly heard this from Cesar, she saw a chance. ‘I can get a sample of the drug!’ she cheered. All she needs to do is to follow Secretary Hugo on the way to the lab and wait for the right time to snatch one. And that’s what Merly did. After Lewelyn went back to her room and Secretary Hugo left Cesar’s place, the young maid followed Hugo. She couldn’t get inside the lab, so she only waited outside the lab while hiding behind the
