Despite his intimidating gaze, she managed to gather enough courage to speak up. "Bakit wala kang sinasabi sa akin? Bakit mo 'ko iniligtas? Talaga bang puwede kitang pagkatiwalaan? Paano kung ikaw pala...

Halos hindi na magawang huminga ni Anastasha habang pinagmamasdan ang lalaking nakatayo hindi kalayuan sa kaniyang posisyon. Hindi pa rin humihinto ang kaniyang mga luha sa pagtulo at mas tumindi ang sakit ng kaniyang ulo.
Halo-halo ang kaniyang nararamdaman, ngunit mas nangingibabaw ang ginahawa nang muli niyang matanawan ang mukha ni Wilder.
The lampposts flickered, and after a few seconds, some of them completely lost their lustre. Darkness immediately engulfed the surrounding, but by good fortune, the car headlights worked as a source of luminosity.
Lumipas pa ang mga sandali ngunit nanatiling tahimik ang kapaligiran. When Wilder took a step forward, she withdrew backward, and the cold wind swept over her. Her face remained pale and stained with tears.
The heavy silence began to dwindle as the sound of Wilder's footsteps filled their ears. "Come to me," he said roughly, his voice echoing up and down the empty alley.
Nang muli itong magsalita ay saka lamang natauhan si Blake. Isang hakbang ang tinangka nitong gawin ngunit agad na inilabas ng mga kasama ni Wilder ang kanilang mga baril at itinutok sa binata.
"Not you, Saavedra. Take another step forward and I'll put a hole right through your head," Wilder seriously declared, warning Blake to not make any foolish act that may put his life at risk.
Akmang magsasalitang muli si Blake ngunit itinaas ni Wilder ang hintuturo. "I don't want to hear your voice. Remain silent. If you don't, you are aware of what'll happen to you next. You know how we do it." Hindi inaalis ni Wilder ang tingin kay Anastasha habang binibigkas ang bawat katagang lumalabas sa kaniyang bibig. Hindi niya magawang ihiwalay ang tingin sa dalaga.
Anastasha's heart was beating fast, and she could feel fear flooding in each and every part of her body. Hindi ito ang unang beses na makakita siya ng mga armadong lalaki, ngunit kahit sino ay hindi masasanay sa ganitong sitwasyon.
Napasinghap siya nang marinig ang boses ni Blake. "Huwag kang sasama sa kaniya. I'll get us out of this mess." Mababa at puno ng determinasyon ang tinig nito. Nakita niya sa mga mata ni Blake ang kaseryosohan.
Anastasha shook her head in disagreement. She knew that Wilder was capable of doing dreadful things in order to fulfill his wishes.
"Shoot," Wilder said, ordering his men to fire their guns. All of them positioned themselves in a horizantal line in front of the car.
"Huwag!" malakas na hiyaw ni Anastasha at tumakbo palapit kay Blake. Humarang siya sa binata at hinawakan ang braso nito. Nanginginig ang kaniyang mga tuhod at kahit anong sandali ay maaari siyang bumagsak sa lupa.
"What are you doing! Get away from me! Don't put yourself in more danger," Blake pleaded. Hinaplos niya ang kamay ng dalaga at hinawakan ito nang mahigpit.
Anastasha shrieked in terror as the alley erupted with a gunshot. She automatically dropped on the ground with both her hands covering her ears. Her eyes were shut closed, and she couldn't control her tears anymore.
