For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are tho...

CHAPTER 30: LIST
LUNA'S POV
I carefully shut the office door before I hit the answer button. I didn't want to wake Magnus up. Alam kong katutulog niya lang dahil pagkatapos naming mag-dinner ay nagtrabaho pa siya ng ilang oras.
Even though he's not saying it, I know he's trying to do as much work as he can dahil dalawang araw na lang ay dadating na ang nanay at stepfather niya. Demanding pa naman sa oras ang mga 'yon.
"I told you to call me early. Is this early?" I hissed.
"It is. Very early, in fact."
Umupo ako sa office chair ko at malakas na napabuntong-hininga ako nang makita ko na mag-a-alas dos ng ng madaling-araw.
"What do you need?"
If there's one thing that I like about Finnegan "Pen" Carpio, it's his no-nonsense attitude. One thing dahil iyon lang talaga ang nag-iisang bagay na gusto ko sa kaniya. Okay, maybe two. The second being his skills.
Pen is one of the most hard-core investigative journalists I have ever known. For him, everything is just a story. His ways could sometimes be unorthodox and sometimes borderline illegal, but that's just the way he is. He doesn't care about sentimentality. Matagal ka man niyang kilala o kaibigan ka niya, if you have a story worth telling, he'll get it.
I glanced at the door before I spoke. "I need you to find someone for me."
"Your family owns an investigative company."
Nang hindi ako sumagot ay natahimik din ang kabilag-linya. I have no doubt that his mind is already whirring.
Dagger is one of the best. I know they're already utilizing every connection they have, including Belaya's family, who own the top agency in the country. But the fact that there's no movement when it comes to the case of my missing father means that he's either really dead or someone is really good at hiding him.
Alam ko ang kakayahan ng Dagger. Combining that with the help of others, the possibility of failing is lower. But Pen is good as well. Good in the sense that I've been trying to recruit him to work for Dagger for years because I know that they can use his skills well. Pero ayaw ni Pen na nalilimitahan. He's not a stickler for rules.
"Whatever you can provide, it will help my family," I murmured.
"What's in it for me?"
I couldn't help but smile at that. I know he's not asking for money. He's probably rich enough now that he wouldn't need to work if he didn't want to. "A story."
"Of your sisters-in-law?"
He's always been interested in them, but I never let him get too close to them. The wives have already gone through so much. Pen might only relay the truth with his writings, but his truth could hurt and may appear unfeeling. Kaya ang binibigay ko lang sa kaniya tungkol sa kanila ay ang mga impormasyon na willing ang mga sister-in-law ko na ibigay.
