I know. I know. Sobrang tagal ng update nitong Chapter 42. I'm sorry okay? Wattpad just forcefully logged me out and I forgot my account's password so kailangan ko pang iretrieved ito at palitan ng bago kaya medyo matagal akong nakabalik. But all is well... I hope. Hehehe!

Anyway, hope you're not bored waiting for an update. This chap contains 10k words or so, so I hope nakabawi naman ako sa inyo. Love you all! 🥺🥰

I took a deep breaths as my stare linger on the massive golden gate in front of me with a sign Desmond Family Estate plastered on it. An empty chuckled slipped out my lips as the bittersweet memories I made inside of this estate, flooded my brain like a theatrical movie.

I never knew I could step foot in here again. After long seven years, this is where we ended up. My destiny start in this very place and now, this is where all it'll end up—hopefully.

Dito sa lugar na 'to gagawin ang pag turn over ng ownership ng Fortis Viribus kay Lolodad. Of course, he wanted to do it on his own territory where he had the upper hand.

Alam ko naman na simula't sapul, dehado na kami sa larong' to. At this point, all I wished for is miracle to happen. Kahit may solidong plano kami para sa ngayong situwasyon ay feeling ko hindi pa rin sapat iyon.

My god! Realising our current situation, it's like we we're just entering the lions den where only deaths and pain will welcome you.

If tonight, God will let me rewrite my fate and destiny, I'll start here in this very place where it all started— in Desmond Family Estate where lies and betrayals are the norm.

“Are you ready?” my dad ask as I felt his warm palm on my back, rubbing it with so much comfort. I heave a deep sigh before letting go of my fear and expectations for tonight's battle as I face my dad with a reassuring smile and nodded at him vigorously.

Dad softly chuckled at me before signaling driver to get driving further into the estate after the guards opened the gate for us after knowing it's us inside the car.

I gulped nervously as I saw many armed men stretched out from the main gate to the driveway of the estate. Ang dami nila at parang hindi basta-basta tauhan lang. They look skilled and tough, not just your ordinary mercenary and hitmen but they're more than what they look and they're giving vibes saying that we'll be doomed if we screwed up tonight.

Even though the car my dad and I were riding is heavily tinted, I can still sense their heavy gazes rain down on us. It's like we're heading to the underworld where hell and chaos are the only thing that awaits us.

“So much for wanting freedom....” I whisper hopelessly. I'm so freaking mad because at this moment, all I feel is hopelessness and I loathed it so much!

Hope it's really worth it Lolodad. Sacrificing your own kin to achieve your own selfish desire—for your own personal gain. I hope after tonight, you'll realised what you just lost from obsessing something you badly wanted beyond your capabilities.

“Don't worry princess. Everything's gonna be alright, m'kay? We got this!”

I calm down when I felt my dad's hand holding mine, squeezing it hardly but not that kind to hurt me but to reassure me.

After sometimes, we arrived at the driveway, just outside the mansion. Maids and butlers that I clearly knew isn't just ordinary servants either, they were neatly stood side by side with each other as they bowed their head to greet us after me and dad exited the car with the assistance of our driver and main guard for tonight, Patchouli.

“Welcome home Master Carcel, M'lady Blanchette.” they greeted us in unison, almost sounding like a robot, void of emotions that sent chill to our spine.
