PROLOGUE ............................. "MILK, where are you going? It's getting late," I heard Ashia say. "Just a moment, I'm going to take pictures of wild animals," I replied before completely moving away. Well, I love mystery. I just want to know how lions take care of their babies. I've been searching for minutes, but I haven't found anything, so I decided to go back. On my way back, I accidentally bumped into an old man, and he was bleeding profusely. "Are you okay? Who did this to you?" Instead of answering, he handed me a small USB. "Miss, hide that. The files inside are important. Please find Marvin Alderama and give it to him-" "-Wait, what happened?" "They're already here; you need to escape now!" Without thinking, I started running. I stopped when I heard a series of gunshots. "What's that?" I turned to Ashia. I held her hand. "Let's go now, Ashia, there are bad people here." I pulled her away, and as soon as we got into the car, someone started shooting at us, so I ducked. "DRIVE NOW, MILK!!!" Ashia shouted. I immediately drove away quickly. "Who are they? Why are they chasing you?" Ashia asked. "I saw an old man earlier, he was bleeding a lot, and he gave me a USB, said there were important files on it. He told me to find Marvin Alderama." "What the hell, Milk? You put yourself in danger. Looks like you bumped into someone big." "I'm just panicked, okay." The three-hour journey was shortened to two hours. When we arrived at Kuya Milo's house, we quickly went inside. "Kuya Milo!!" I called out in frustration. I found them eating in the dining area, and Kuya Khalil was also there. "What happened to you, Milk? Why is your shoulder bleeding?" Kuya asked, approaching me. "Is that a gunshot wound?" I hadn't noticed that I was bleeding. "Your sister got into a big mess, Kuya Milo," Ashia said. "Someone wants to kill her." "What happened?" Ate Saphira asked. I told them what I told Ashia, and Kuya reacted immediately. "Wtf! Milk, just tell me if you want to die, I'm going to shoot you," he angrily said. "I'm sorry, okay? I just panicked." "Where's the USB?" I raised the USB I was holding. "Give me that USB now!" "No way, Kuya Milo. I'm the one who will find Marvin," I said, hiding the USB again. "If you want, you can also look for bad guys with hidden agendas-" "-MILK GAUDINO! I'M NOT JOKING HERE!" He shouted in anger. "Okay, I'm sorry," I said. "I'll go back to my condo now. I need to treat my wound." "Khalil, escort her to ensure her safety-" "-Why me again? Am I always the one? I'm busy eating here," brother Khalil interrupted brother Milo, earning him a glare. "Saphira, your husband is glaring at me, break up with him." "Khalil Cavort!" "Fine." Annoyed, he stood up with a chicken leg in his mouth. "By the way, from now on, you'll be the one watching over Milk until she finds this Marvin. And don't you dare hang out with my sister." "Brother!!" I protested. "Enough, Milo," sister scolded him. "Go ahead, escort her." "I'm quiet here, and you're dragging me into this mess," Kuya Khalil complained before leaving. We quickly followed him. Brother halil, tell me how old you are," Ashia asked. "I'm thirty-two but still hot and fresh," he replied before getting into the car. Ashia and I exchanged looks before getting into the backseat together. "You're thirty-two, but you look like twenty-five," Ashia said. She's right; even with half his face covered, his handsomeness is still evident. "You're thirty-two, but you're still acting like a five-year-old. What a child," I said. "Nye nye nye..." I wonder what will happen to me now. I don't really want to be with brother Khalil; he might cause more trouble for me.

Chapter 1 Part 1

I woke up with a sore arm from last night. As I glanced at the sofa, brother Khalil was sitting there, looking at my laptop.

"Hey, brother, what are you doing on my laptop?" I asked with a furrowed brow.

He just signaled for me to be quiet, so I stood up and approached him. I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe at what he was watching.

"Seriously? Mermaid Barbie?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Shhhh, you might be heard by the enemy; they might catch Barbie." He said, fully engrossed in what he was watching.

Honestly, I wanted to smack him. I could understand if someone in their twenties watched Barbie, but a thirty-year-old guy? It's tempting to give him a good smack.

"I can't believe this. Maybe your mom dropped you too hard in the crib, that's why you're like this." I shook my head and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

"The USB..." I quickly grabbed my bag, searching for the USB.

Once I found it, I snatched it from Kuya Khalil and plugged it into my laptop.

"Not finished yet," he complained. "Milk!"

"Shut up!" I snapped.

I inserted the USB into my laptop, and there was only one file. I opened it, not realizing it was a mistake.

"Stop! Ughh!!"

"Wahhh! My virgin eyes!!!" he shouted, covering his face and running out of my room.

That serves him right.

I sighed and took out the USB, putting it back in my bag. Who are those people in the videos? Is that Senator Mujeño?

"YES, MILO, THAT'S TRUE!! MILK IS WATCHING PORN!!!" Brother Khalil's voice echoed.

My eyes widened in shock. He was talking to brother Milo. I quickly snatched the phone from him.

"Brother don't believe him! I'm not watching porn! I just checked the USB's contents."

"Wtf, Milk! You almost died because of that USB full of porn!" Brother Milo said, and I ended up hitting my forehead.

"It's not porn videos on the USB; it's videos of rape. The men are killing the women after assaulting them. Think, brother, do you really believe I'm confronting these bad guys just for porn?" I argued.

"You have a point," he admitted. "But be careful, Milk, you're dealing with powerful people."

"I just need to find Marvin, and my problem will be solved."

"Why not report it to the police?" Brother Khalil suggested.

"One of the men in the videos is a senator; he could bribe the police to get the USB back."

"Then give it to the senator and let him pay you," Kuya Khalil proudly smiled.

I could kick him.

"Kuya, can't someone else watch over me? I feel like I'll die if I stay with Kuya Khalil!" I complained to Kuya Milo.

"He's the only one available; don't worry, he's capable even if he's like that. Call me if anything strange happens."

"Okay, Kuya." I hung up and handed Kuya Khalil his phone.

"I'm done watching porn. Can I watch Barbie now?" he teased.

"I wasn't watching porn! Just get out of my sight before I kick you!"

"How would you kick me?"

I was about to show him when he quickly ran into my room.

Early morning stress.

I made my coffee and prepared a sandwich, sitting down. As I was about to relax, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Milk? Is Sofia there?"

It was Tita Fina. Sofia is one of my friends.

"No, Tita, why?"

"She hasn't come home since last night. I called Brandon and Ashia; they said she's not with them. She's not answering her phone either. Something might have happened to her."

"Don't worry, Tita, I'll call her."

"I tried, Milk, but her phone is dead."

"I'll look for her. I'll keep you updated."

"Okay, dear. Thank you."

I hung up, feeling a sudden unease. I stood up and headed to my room.

"Kuya Khalil, I'm leaving," I informed.

He closed the laptop. "I'll come with you; your life is in danger."

He was the first to leave, so I followed, not having the chance to change.

"Wait, where are we going?" he asked, puzzled.

Anywhere, as long as I find Sofia," I replied.

"Who's Sofia? What does she look like?" he inquired.

"She's my best friend." I scrolled through my phone to show him a picture of Sofia. "There's Sofia."

"That? I just saw her earlier--"

"--Where?"

"On Facebook. She was found dead. I think she's already in the funeral home."

My phone rang just in time.

"Milk, Sofia is gone," Ashia cried. "They found her lifeless earlier."

I broke into tears before hanging up.

"Why are you crying?" Brother Khalil asked, bewildered.

"Sofia is dead, and you're still joking."

He suddenly burst into tears. "Huhu, I'm a great fortune teller. Ouch, why!"

"You're celebrating when someone is dead!"

I was about to knock him down Brother

--- "Shairah, listen to us. You need to get away from here. You're not safe!" "Lina, no... what about you? I won't leave you here." I couldn't help but sob out of extreme fear. I didn't know how we ended up in this situation where we needed to hide and escape. "Shairah, listen... if he catches you, it's over for us. You know you're his target." "I don't want that... What if he catches you? Lina, I don't want you to get involved." "Oh sh*t," we looked at Jaynard who was driving. "What happened?" Lina asked Jaynard, who was now hitting the steering wheel in frustration. "Damn it, there's a checkpoint." "Turn, then." "Let's ask the police for help!" I suggested. "He's influential. If we report him to the police, it's like surrendering to him," Jaynard's response worried me even more. What are we going to do now? Where can we ask for help!? Lina and I screamed as Jaynard suddenly turned and sped off in another direction. "D*mn it! I feel like he has eyes everywhere. He's tracking us," Jaynard cursed. "Shairah, give me your bag." My hands trembled as I handed him my shoulder bag. "Wh-why?" She opened the window and threw my bag outside. "Lina, why did you do that!?" "There might be a tracker attached to your bag or phone," she replied, looking at my necklace. "Take off your necklace." Without hesitation, I removed the necklace and handed it to her. Just like my bag, she threw it outside. Memories of happy times with him flashed in my mind. The man I loved and trusted so much. I love him, but I'm scared of him now. After a while, Jaynard suddenly turned again. "Lina..." he called out to the trembling person next to me. I looked in the direction Lina was staring at and almost held my breath when I saw armed men blocking our way. My whole body trembled, and I held onto Lina. "Jaynard, turn back-- damn." We looked back and saw three cars approaching. "D*mn it!!!" Jaynard swore. "Shairah, whatever happens, don't go with him," Lina said, about to open the door before I stopped her. "Lina, are you going crazy!? Don't open that. Don't!!" I sobbed in fear. "Lina, if you go out, I'll go with you," Jaynard unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to exit. "Shairah, whatever happens, don't get out of this car. Lock the door. After ten minutes, Hexia will arrive with his whole gang to help you escape." I shook my head and tightly held her hand. "I don't want to... Please don't go out, I don't want to lose my sister. Aren't we siblings now?" She nodded, then gently removed my hand from hers. "Just trust me." "LINA!! JAYNARD!!" They finally got out of the car. As per Lina's instructions, I locked the door and positioned myself by the window to watch them. I saw Lux getting out of one of the cars and walking towards Lina. I couldn't hear what they were saying, so I just watched their every move. "Lina, Jaynard, please come back..." I kept praying repeatedly. My eyes widened as I saw Lux forcibly pulling Lina and Jaynard into a van. Lina's words faded from my mind, and I opened the door. "SHAIRAH, GO BACK INSIDE!!!" Jaynard shouted. I screamed as Jaynard suddenly fell and grabbed his stomach in pain. "Jaynard!!" Lina screamed as she struggled. I looked at the man who did that, now staring at me. "Mine, come with me. Let's go home." I trembled as I shook my head. "L-Lux, please don't hurt them. Enough." "Shairah, get in----" "Lina!!! Lux, please don't hurt them!!!" I sobbed as I watched Lina being slapped by one of his men. "As you wish, baby... Now come here and hug me because I'm starting to lose my sanity." I don't know how we ended up like this. I don't know if I'll regret loving him because of what I'm witnessing now. It doesn't feel like love anymore, just fear.
