CHAPTER 9 : The First Person He Wanted to Protect

Some people grow up surrounded by danger. People who live every day with enemies. People raised in a world where every smile could be a betrayal.

Keiv was one of them.

Ever since he was a child...

    CHAPTER 10: The Exhaustion No One Can SeeSome wounds don't bleed. Some wounds leave no bruises and some wounds cannot be seen by the eyes... yet they are enough to drain every bit of a person's strength.Ever since yesterday's incident... Maeve had not been the same.-Tuesday.It was only seven in the morning, and she sat quietly inside the jeepney beside Bea. Unlike before, there were no favorite jokes. No endless complaints about quizzes. No cheerful voice that always brought life to their commute.She simply stared out the window in silence.Every now and then, she flinched whenever a motorcycle suddenly passed by. Or whenever a man happened to look at her.Bea noticed."Maeve..."she called softly."Why don't you skip school today?"Maeve forced a small smile."I can't.""I have a laboratory class.""And attendance.""I might fail."Bea let out a sigh."You really think about your grades no matter what.""I'm a scholar,"Maeve answered quietly."I don't have the luxury of lettin

Nothing about corporate politics and certainly nothing about the fact that there were people willing to use her as bait.Keiv stood silently in front of the window. The black SUV was still parked across the condominium the man in the black suit was still there.He hadn't left.It was as if he wanted to send a message..."We're watching you."Ke

    CHAPTER 8The Wrong Bed and the First ThreatSome wars begin with a single bullet. Some begin with a signature. And some... begin with a surname.Spenser.It was a surname respected by many...But also hated by others.Makati City – 2:14 A.M.At the top floor of a building with no name displayed outside...Cigarette smoke drifted quietly through a spacious conference room.Half of the lights were turned off.Only the faint glow from a massive LED screen illuminated the five men seated around the table.At the center of the screen...Was the logo of Spenser Global Holdings.Then came the photo of Cevin Klein Spenser.Beside it...The photo of Clarence Keiv Spenser.Silence filled the room.Until the man seated at the far end of the table finally spoke."Thirty years..."His voice was low."We've been losing to the Spensers for thirty years."Slowly, he closed the folder in front of him."In every project... every bidding... every business...""They always win."He stood up and walked t

    CHAPTER 7 : The Young Master in the Hallway and the Thousand-Peso Fare"...Young... Master?"The entire hallway suddenly fell silent.Even the neighbor from the opposite unit peeked outside."Hey... Is he some kind of celebrity?"Keiv closed his eyes.Dad... are you serious?He took a deep breath before forcing a smile."Oh...""Uncle Ben!"The man in the suit blinked."...Yes, sir?""You came pretty early."The older man immediately understood the situation."Ah...""That's right.""Uncle?"Maeve whispered.Keiv smiled."He's my... uncle's cousin."The older man awkwardly forced a smile."Ah...""Yes.""We're relatives."Maeve looked at the three men."All of you?""Yes, ma'am."One of them answered."Our family is very close."Maeve blinked."You all wear suits?""It's a family tradition."Keiv nearly choked."Exactly!"The older man nodded."Family tradition.""We just... like dressing formally."Maeve shook her head."Weird."She was half convinced.Half doubtful.Then she looked

    CHAPTER 6Kare-Kare Treaty"What you're cooking..."He glanced briefly at the pan before looking back at Keiv."Wait..." She narrowed her eyes. "Don't tell me—""I want to taste it."Silence settled between them.Complete silence.Then..."Pfft! HAHAHAHA!!!"Maeve burst into laughter. Not just an ordinary laugh—it was the kind that made her grab the doorknob to keep herself from falling over."You?" Keiv simply nodded."You, the guy who acts like a CEO?""...""You, who doesn't even know how to smile?""...""You, who was eating your fancy fast food just a while ago?"Keiv let out a quiet sigh."It doesn't taste good.""Huh?""After just three bites..." He grimaced slightly. "I already regretted it."Maeve couldn't stop herself from laughing again."HAHAHAHA!! Seriously..." She shook her head. "You spent so much on your order, and now you want someone else's food?""I'm not asking for any.""Then?""I just want to taste it.""Isn't that the same thing?""...A little."Maeve shook her

Started with a landlord."~ ● ~"Huh?"Maeve and Keiv almost shouted in unison as they stared at the landlord, a man in his fifties who had just arrived at Unit 512.He awkwardly scratched the back of his head while holding a thick folder."Oh dear... I'm really sorry. There was a mistake with the booking.""What do you mean by a mistake?" Maeve asked with a frown.The landlord opened the folder."You both have valid contracts.""...""...""How did that even happen?""I had a former assistant. He accidentally encoded the same unit twice... and confirmed both bookings."Maeve pressed a hand against her forehead."Sir... there's only one unit.""I know.""Then why do both of us have keys?"The old man scratched his head again."That's exactly the problem."Keiv let out a quiet sigh."So?""So..."The landlord forced a smil
