"Fabrizia..."

Mr. Ferrucci uttered with pure horror on his face while he took a step backward because of fear in the woman in front of him.

Matapang naman na lumapit si Chase kay Aspen pero agad din napaatras ng sa kaniya na tinutok ang hawak nitong baril, "H-How did you find this place, you... scum?"

Hindi naman ito pinansin ni Aspen bagkus ay mas lumapit pa ito lalo sa kanila habang nakatutok ang baril kay Chase.

She looks like a different person. Her sophisticated aura at the university cannot be seen right now as her eyes become cold while staring at her Father and its company. Parang wala itong sa-santo-hin kahit na tatay niya.

She let out a deep breath before speaking, "Where's Adira?" Her gun is still pointed at Chase while her face still has no emotion.

Nasa gilid kasi ako at madilim din sa parte na kinalalagyan ko kaya panigurado na hindi ako makikita unless buksan nila yung ilaw na kanina ay nakabukas.

Lahat sila ay lumapit din kasi malapit sa pinto para kausapin ang tauhan na kanina lang ay kausap nila kaya naiwan ako dito.

Bumaling sila ng tingin sa aking pwesto kaya napatingin din si Ma'am sa akin. She squints her eyes to see me but failed dahil masyadong madilim talaga sa parteng 'to.

Nagngingitngit na bumaling siya kila Chase at mas lalong lumapit na nagpaatras sa kanila, "Are you kidding me?" She blurted and scoffed, "Open the goddamn lights."

Nagkatinginan pa sila para malaman kung sino ang magbubukas kaya nagpatinaod na si Kale at siya na ang nagbukas ng ilaw since siya yung malapit sa switch.

As soon as the lights are turned on, I closed my eyes dahil nakakasilaw after ng ilang minuto sa dilim. Napayuko at pumikit ng ilang segundo bago imulat ang mga mata.

Nang maayos na ang paningin ay umangat ang aking tingin at 'di inaasahan na makita ang malambot na ngayon na mukha ni Ma'am. She is looking at me with worried eyes but still her gun is pointed at them.

Suddenly, she squints her eyes when she spotted something on me hanggang sa dumilim ang mata nito at galit na bumaling kila Blake while her jaw is clenching, "Who fvcking touch her?"

She looks ferocious and it seems like she is ready to get violent with anyone in that area. Unti unti siyang lumalapit kaya naman atras din ng atras ang mga ito habang ang mga mukha ay takot na nakatingin dito.

"No one?" Umiwas sila ng tingin so Aspen scoffed, "So, she fvcking hurt herself with her hands tied. Is that it?" May halong sarkasmo na pagkakasabi nito habang galit na nakatingin sa kanila.

"Answer," she said with her cold voice.

"I-I did!" Chase answered with a high pitched tone, clearly scared, "She's—"

"I gave a warning to your men. Don't tell me you didn't receive it." She stated while giving them the looks.

"I don't give a damn about your warning—!"

Hindi na natapos ni Chase ang sasabihin when Aspen mercilessly shot his leg that made him kneel on the ground.

Napatalon ako sa kinauupuan sa gulat at takot habang ang mga kasama nila Chase ay nanlalaki ang mga mata na nakatingin kay Aspen, also scared at the professor who have a different aura surrounding her.
