"My intel from The Red said she's a VIP guest there. A guest, not a member," Blake began while flicking the ash of his cigarette on the ashtray. "We all know guests aren't allowed in there. Everyone must be a member and must have been thoroughly profile-checked by the management before they can go in. Kristina happened to be an exception. It seems to be that she's a special friend to the owner."

They were all seated in the lanai next to the swimming pool area. Blake, in his wine red casual coat, smoked and drank whiskey early in the morning. André's already used to the lawyer's-his best friend-unhealthy habits so that doesn't appall him anymore. Roswell on the other hand, simply wore a plain white shirt and blue jeans. The youngest son of the wealthy German entrepreneur who owned the Wolff Technologies Corporation coolly sat next to him with the back of his elbow hooked on his chair's back post.

"She and Korbin are good friends," Ros spoke. "I've seen them together a few times during the days I paid Korbin a visit in Russia."

"I'm still baffled that you became close enough to Korbin to know about his whereabouts," Blake expressed. "Man is slippery as an eel to keep track of."

"We just have a few things in common," Ros answered.

Russia. So that's really where she's been all along. Sinubukan niya itong hanapin doon pero sa laki ba naman ng bansa at idagdag pang itinago itong mabuti sa kanya ng mga magulang nito ay nabigo siya. He wished that he had tried harder in the past to find her. But that's already in the past. Hindi na niya iyon mababago. Basta ang mahalaga ay kasama na niyang muli si Kristina.

"So what information do you have about my wife, Ros?" he asked.

The asshole grinned at him. "You'll be very surprised of what I have to tell."

Sumimsim na naman ng alak si Blake bago muling nagsalita. "Spill the beans, pare. 'Wag ka nang pa-suspense."

Magaan na ngumiti si Ros pero bakas doon ang pag-aalangan. "Saying what I know also means sharing Korbin's personal information. You guys need to offer me something really good for me to commit this treachery."

"A favor for a favor," André responded immediately.

Parte rin ng marangyang pamilya si Roswell kaya alam niyang hindi lang basta pera ang tatanggapin nitong kapalit. Pabor kapalit ng isang pabor. Iyon lang ang tanging maiaalok niya sa kumag na ito. Ito lang ang taong maasahan niya sa ngayon na magbigay ng lead information tungkol sa asawa niya dahil ito lang ang kakilala niyang malapit kay Korbin na siyang konektado sa misis niya. Kaya kahit ano pa mang pabor ang hingin nito sa kinabukasan ay handa siyang ibigay.

"Hindi ako ang may kailangan sayo," sagot ni Blake kay Ros. "I don't need to offer you anything."

"Pero curious ka?"

"Yosi o alak?"

"Wala kang kwenta. Pa-score na lang sa bago mong babae."

"'Yun lang pala. Tang-ina."

"Alright, game!" Roswell clapped his hand then rubbed them together. "I got you, guys." Tumuwid ito ng upo. "Ready ka na?" harap nito kay Blake. "Ikaw, ready ka na?" tanong din nito sa kanya."

"That better be good, Ros, or else I'll see to it that your corpse is thrown off somewhere if you decide to pull a prank on me about Kristina."

"Kristina is the mother of Korbin's child," Ros revealed.

"What?" André and Blake both muttered shocked.

"May anak silang lalaki. Nakakalaro ko nga ng online games 'yun minsan."

Magkasalubong ang mga kilay ni André. Hindi niya matanggap ang sinasabi nito. Kristina said she didn't have any boyfriend when they got separated, which is likely impossible because of how gorgeous she is. That is just her word so he cannot attest to how true that is. Her pussy is very tight though, which was why he was having a huge doubt that she ever gave birth to any child.

"May mga pictures akong sinave galing sa private social media accounts ni Korbin. Alam ko kasing mahirap paniwalaan. Eto, o."

Magkasama nilang tiningnan ni Blake ang mga pictures sa smartphone ni Roswell. Bumigat at nanikip ang dibdib niya sa mga nakita. Walang duda na isang pamilya sina Kristina, Korbin, at ang batang lalaki. The familial love shining in their eyes can't be mistaken for anything else.

The child showed physical resemblance to both his parents. But he had grey eyes which he thought might be because Korbin's eyes are black and the genetic expression of blue eyes are usually recessive.

Nakaramdam siya ng matinding selos. Another man has touched his beloved Kristina. It bore fruit. A child. And all the time he was longing for her, she was with Korbin. Namimilipit ang sikmura niya habang iniisip kung gaano masayang namuhay si Kristina kasama ng ibang lalaki habang siya ay nangungulila at hindi makatulog halos gabi-gabi dahil sa kakaisip sa kanya.

Pinilit niya ang sarili na huwag magpalamon sa selos at lungkot. "What's his name and age?"

"Klaus. I don't know his age. He's probably eight or nine years old."

Can it be any worse for him? He counted the years they were apart. Ilang taon lang na naghiwalay sila, nagpaanak na kaagad ito sa iba.

Ibinalik niya kay Ros ang smartphone nito. Napahilamos siya sa mukha. Hindi niya matanggap. But again, there is nothing he can do but accept it. Wala man siyang magagawa para baguhin ang nakaraan ay marami naman siyang kayang gawin sa kasalukuyan at sa kinabukasan. This child, Klaus, is another situation with Kristina that he needs to handle.

"He's a beautiful child," Blake commented. "May kupal junior na pala si Korbin."

"Anything else you can tell me?"

"Nah, pare, hindi na ako nag-effort na alamin pa ang ibang detalye tungkol sa asawa mo. Oh yeah, I don't think they're dating or were ever together. It appears that she was just one of Korbin's friends with benefits and well, nabuntis ni chekwa," kibit-balikat nito. "She lived in Sochi. Sa bahay nga niya tumutuloy si Korbin. Pwede kong ibigay sayo ang address niya ro'n kung gusto mo. Tapos mag-hire ka na lang ng PI para mas mapaimbistigahan mo pa siya."

Hiningi niya ang address nito saka muling napahilamos sa mukha. Tinanggap niya ang whiskey glass nang ialok iyon sa kanya ni Blake. Kailangan niya iyon.

Bumingisngis ang abogado nang lagukin niya iyon. "You look like shit, pre. Ano na'ng plano mo n'yan?"

"Tina would want to be with her son. I need to find a way to get them together."

"Sigurado ka?" anas ni Ros. "Hindi lang anak ni Tina 'yun, bro. Kay Korbs din 'yon. Malaking gulo 'yang binabalak mo."

"Klaus would be a major reason why she would want to leave my side. Kailangan kong gumawa ng paraan para mabago 'yon."

"Even if that means raging a war with the King?" Blake inquired.

Korbin is known for many reasons; his good looks, his huge net worth, and his many audacious illegal businesses that not even the president of the Philippines would dare to do something about. He is like the Ivanovs but a way bigger person that he himself, André Decena, would think more than twice of clashing with as well if not only for Kristina. Marami na siyang nabalitaan na sinubukang banggain ang lalaki. Lahat ay lumagapak sa pusali o kung hindi naman ay nauwi sa pagiging isang malamig na bangkay.

Prestihiyoso ang pamilyang King hindi lang bilang pasimuno ng pinakamalalaking grupo ng sindikato sa bansa o dahil sa yaman o dahil sa kung ano pa man. Kundi dahil sa mga miyembro ng pamilya nito mismo na halimaw o demonyo kung tawagin ng iba dahil sa kawalan ng konsensya ng mga ito kapag nagalit mo. Kung sino man ang sumubok na bumangga, sila ang natitibag.

The King clan acts as a group to destroy their enemies, but Korbin has always dealt with his problems alone and that says a lot about how much more fearsome he is compared to the other Kings. A ferocious potential enemy. The king of the Kings.

"It's a risk I am willing to take for Tina."

"Imagine being crazy for a woman," Blake snickered.

"Oh, boy." Ros shook his head. "Guess I'll be dabbing on your grave soon."
