I was horrified when he found my line of vision in the middle of the sea. I cannot phantom what I'm feeling right now. It was a mixed emotion pero nangingibabaw ang takot. Takot hindi para sa sarili ko kundi para sa mga taong kasama ko. His eyes screaming danger right now. Alam kong sa pagkakataong ito ay talagang mapaparusahan ako ng sobra at damay si Mommy at Lester.

I shrieked in pain when one of his men dragged me to the basement following my Mother and my little brother. I am positive that his gripped will leave a mark. I entered the place that I am terrified the most. I never dream of being here. Kung may lugar man na ayaw kong mapuntahan dito sa mansion ay ang lugar na ito 'yon. This is the place where they punish those who wronged the organization. The place where they show no mercy! This is the place of a demon. His place!

The rage that I am feeling suppressed when I heard the languid voice of my Mother. Her voice was filled with horror and sorrow. Hearing the sound of every beatings made my heart clenched in so much pain. Ang iyak ng kapatid ko ang mas dumurog sa puso ko. He's too young to experience hell in the hands of these evil!

I roamed my eyes around only to find the obdurate person I wish I never knew. I wished that never existed in this world. He's sipping his wine while looking at my family being beaten up, like a merciless man enjoying the scene. He's the only person who can stop their agony but also the person why they're in this agony.

My rage is beyond it's limit when I saw him signaled one of his men to get the rod. I can only see red right now. I am glaring at him to death. Ano pa bang kailangan kong gawin para tigilan niya na ang pamilya ko?

"Whip them to death." utos niya na para bang isang simpleng bagay lamang iyon. It will cost life for fuck's sake! I closed my eyes painfully when I heard my Mother's groans. Nag-init ang bawat sulok ng mga mata ko. I stopped myself from crying dahil sa oras na makita niya akong umiiyak at nagiging mahina ay uutusan niya ang mga tauhan niya na doblehin ang bilang ng latigo.

"Double the whipping!" dumagundong ang boses niya. Tuluyan nang tumakas ang mga luhang ayaw ko sanang ipakita sakanya. He already doubled the lashes. Bakit ko pa itatago ang mga luha ko?

"Why are you crying? You're the reason why they're being beaten up." he said nonchalantly. Umiling ako. It was never my intention to put them into this mess. Gusto ko lang na tuluyan nang makalaya sa mga kamay nila. Gusto ko lang makawala na sakanila, hindi ko naisip ang posibilidad na mahuhuli kami.

Gusto ko ng pagmamakaawa sakanya. Gusto ko ng ipatigil niya ang pananakit ng mga tauhan niya sa ina't kapatid ko pero hindi ko magawang magmakaawa dahil baka mas magalit siya at triplehin ang parusang iginagawad sa kanila..

"Spare them!" pikit matang sabi ko. The groans became more intense as the rod hits their body.

"Marcus!!" I cried his name when his father's men carried my brother and put him on the table. Tumingin ako sakanya, halos magmakaawa na pero hindi siya sakin nakatingin. Diretso lang ang mga titig niya, parang walang nakikita at  naririnig. He's the only person I know who can stop his father from doing such evilness.

Nakadapa ang kapatid ko habang walang tigil na nilalatigo. I desperately looked at Martino. Begging him to let my poor brother go. He's too young for these. He doesn't deserve all the pain. Ang bata pa ng kapatid ko. Ako nalang!

"What is my rule?" madiing tanong ni Martino Del Prado. I suppressed my sobs.

"O-Obey." basag na sagot ko.

"And what did you do?" hindi na ako sumagot. His glares made me shiver.

"Answer the fuck me!" sigaw niya na
halos magpatalon sa akin.
