"MY LORD, we received the message from La Familla this morning. We also checked the surroundings of the orphanage where they planted the bombs. We sent our men to check other locations too. We just found this letter for you."

The man took the paper from his table before reading it.

La Familla will never let you sleep at peace again, Avenight.

Umangat ang sulok ng labi ng lalaki habang pinagmamasdan ang mga salitang nakapaskil sa maliit na papel. Kumawala ang tawa sa bibig nito dahilan para mamutla ang mga kaharap.

"I am nightmare myself, why would I be scared with shits like these," he whispered as Thursday handed his phone.

Walang lingon-lingon na tinipa niya ang isang numero. He pressed the speaker button atsaka pabalyang nilapag ang cellphone niya sa ibabaw ng lamesa.

"Hello? Gerald? Is this you? Nagpalit ka na naman ba ng number?" a lady from the other line asked.

"You're looking for your boyfriend?"

Saglit na namayapa ang katahimikan sa kabilang linya. Tanging mabibigat na paghinga ng babae ang maririnig. "Who a-are you?"

He leaned on his chair before letting a chuckle escape his lips. "You have the guts to threaten me like I was born to be a coward like a fucking rat, Elena. Why are you stuttering now?" He stood up from his seat with his cellphone before walking closer to the guy on his side.

Nakatali ang magkabilang kamay at mga paa nito habang puno ng sugat ang katawan.

Dahan-dahang hinila ni Avenight ang nakatakip na tela sa ibabaw ng lamesa sa gilid niya. With his dull expression, he took the whip on the table before facing the lucky man. Walang awa-awang hinampas ni Avenight ng lubid ang mukha ng lalaki dahilan para magising at mapasigaw ito sa sakit.

"Fuck!" mura ng lalaki habang iniinda ang sugat sa pisngi.

"Gerald?! Oh gosh! Gerald is that you?!" hysterical na sigaw ng ginang sa kabilang linya

Avenight wiped the blood on his cheeks. He leaned forward at the growning man. "Hey, piece of trash. Answer your woman. She might die from worrying too much." He chuckled devilishly after saying it.

Galit na pinagmasdan siya ng kaharap na para bang kinasusuklaman siya nito. "Walanghiya ka!"

Muling hinampas ni Avenight ang mukha ng kaharap habang natatawang pinagmasdan ito. Tumagos ang tama sa mata ng lalaki dahilan para magdugo ito nang walang habas. Avenight leaned forward once again.

"Walang hiya talaga ako," he whispered.

Mabilis ang kamay na hinigit ng lalaki ang samurai sa gilid bago putulin ang braso ng kaharap na napasigaw sa sakit. Walang tigil ang pagsigaw nito habang pinagmamasdan ang parte ng katawan na nahulog sa sahig.

"No! Please! Don't kill my boyfriend!" shouted the girl on the other line.

Muling pinunasan ng lalaki ang tumalsik na dugo sa bandang baba niya bago tumawa nang mahina. "When you planted bombs around that orphanage, the owner begged for you to stop it. But you still did it for the sake of your own satisfaction, Elena. This fucking man in front me, Gerald, the love of your fucking love helped you. And now, I'm doing this for my own satisfaction, we're now even."

Inangat niya ang nagbabagang tingin habang pinapasadahan ng tingin ang mukha ng lalaki na hindi na magkamayaw sa pagsigaw. The pain's too unbearable for him and Avenight's enjoying every single second of it.

"Cage him inside the warehouse. Release the fucking dirty rats we bought and let them eat this man alive. They'll enjoy their food for sure. Kasing dumi naman nila 'yan," he commanded while flashing a wicked smirk.

He removed his suit covered with blood. Pahakbang na sana paalis ang lalaki nang marinig ang sinigaw ng babae mula sa telepono.

"You'll be able to find a wife soon, Avenight. And I'll make sure to kill her! Papatayin ko ang babaeng mamahalin mo at hinding-hindi ako titigil hanggang hindi ka nagmamakaawa sa akin!"

Nilingon ni Avenight ang mga tauhan na agad yumuko sa kaniya. "Torture that woman also. I hate loud people." Sumaludo sa kaniya ang mga ito.

He gazed at his own phone before chuckling with his deep and cold voice. "Love? I only know how to kill, Elena."
