PULSE OF DECEIT

PROLOGUE

"Papatayin kita!" I swallowed hard upon hearing those words, I clenched my jaw as I suppressed my anger. I would be lucky if I would be able to leave this place alive.

"Masyado ka namang magaling sa tagu-taguan at pinapahirapan mo ako, mamamatay ka din naman!" I massage my nape as I hear his dogmatic voice, my hands are itching to pull the fucking trigger and watch how the blood will drop on his fucking temple.

"Ilang minuto na lang nakatihaya ka na!" this jackass is pissing me off, once I will have the chance to shoot him, I swear he'll die instantly.

I move myself slowly, ensuring that I won't be able to create a single sound, this place is too dark, I haven't located him yet I am sure that he is near due to his conceited voice. A total moron.

I closed my eyes feeling his footsteps, he's just 2 meters away from me. I positioned myself as I grip my Baretta 9mm Parabellum loaded with 9mm, 124 grain FMJ, I have 3 fucking bullets to shot the bastard to death.

"Tangena mo!" he shouted as he released his bullet, so full of himself. Ang yabang!

I grimaced the moment I felt the bullet penetrate on my left upper arm. This man is desperate to kill me, I must kill him before he'll have the chance to shoot me again.

I pointed the gun on his head as he was busy looking for me, what a blind imbecile. Without a single hesitation I extricated the bullet, 3 consecutive shots for him.

Bullseye!

I made my way towards him, I smiled as I watch the blood flowing on the floor. "May iyayabang ka pa ba? Sino ngayon ang nakatihaya sa atin na may butas ang bungo? Ibaon mo sa hukay mo ang yabang mo."

I glanced at my left arm, the blood continuously dripping as if it's a river, damn it! With the strength of my right arm I ripped my clothes on the wounded area exposing my left upper arm. I checked my pocket to look for my handkerchief and I am lucky to have one I guess. I applied firm pressure on my wounded area as I call Holocaust.

"Phinxyl Cream Shivedez!" a loud thud of his voice hugged my eardrums.

"Chill, I am alive," I rolled my eyes as if I was facing him, he's overacting, he even stated my complete name with my surname.

"Pick me here at the abandoned mansion of La Savuerte. I need you as soon as possible," I commanded using all my authority, as if I would give him the chance to protest.

Holocaust is my trusted colleague, he earned my trust more than anyone else. I don't have many details when it comes to his personal life but I do not mind as long as he has gained my trust.

I gasped as the doctor extracted the bullet from my upper arm. "That's a lesson for you Cream," Holocaust said from behind while grinning at me, what a jerk.

"I just gave him the chance to shoot me before I shoot him to death," I snickered at him. As if I am terribly wounded, this is just a piece of one fucking bullet and it would not kill me this early. I have a bunch of loony people to kill.

"I won't buy your claim, Cream. You're hardheaded!" I totally rolled my eyes on him. His statement is crappy and a total shit for me. Death can't go easy for me.

I covered my ears to show him that I am not interested on his childish advice. He swiftly move his way towards me, he flicked my forehead. "Pitik pa lang ang napapala mo ngayon kaya mag-ingat ka sa susunod."

He was staring at me intently, stabbing me with his cold and sharpest stare. Okay, fine, I need to obey him.

"Stop with that, I might fucking pierce your ugly eyes," I hissed at him while giving him the same stare that I was receiving from him. Damn this man.

"And you..." he pointed at me as if I did some disgusting stuff. I raised my left eyebrow on him, showing my so called what the fuck look.

"I will fucking shoot you to death once you'll die!" I narrowed my eyes on him, what the hell! Double dead ang atake.

"I doubt that."

"You're being a bitch, Cream!" he sighed heavily, looking so stressed.

"Cause I am! Shut the fuck up Holocaust, I won't die. I will kill you first before I die," I guaranteed him.

"Make sure that I will die first, I don't like the idea of seeing you in the coffin."

"Then cremate me! You're being a moron Holocaust."

He clenched his jaw, his veins are visible, it seems that it will pop out in a few more seconds. "Okay, boss! I won't die," I playfully wink at him, I might cause hypertension on him.

I massage my nape before reading the pile of papers in front of me. "This project is crappy, useless," they are all receiving a high salary from me but they're giving me this shitty piece of paper.

"Miss Cream," I raised my brows on my secretary.

"Nasa conference room na po yong bagong investor," as I heard her, I composed myself. I neglect the negativity that I am carrying.

I fixed my corporate attire as I wore my most expensive smile. I headed directly to the conference room, looking forward to the said investor.

My secretary opened the door for me, dumiretso kami sa conference room at agad na bumungad sa akin ang baril na nakatutok sa noo ko, fuck!

My secretary creepily smiled at me. "You are doomed Phinxyl Cream Shivedez," she pointed her gun on my temple, and now two guns are pointing on me.

"As if I'm scared of death," I sat at the nearest chair before crossing my legs.

"Really Cream?" isang bala ang biglang tumama sa balikat ko, fuck! They're not giving me threats, papatayin talaga ako ng mga kumag. Fuck!

This is a battle in between life and death. It's either I am the one who will kill them or I am the one to be killed by them. This is making me frustrated. Damn it!

My eyes were staring at the fake investor. I don't know his name and I don't want to know it either. He was throwing me with death glares, his stare won't kill me but his gun can.

I composed myself trying to hide the fear within me. I am all alone in this room, isang maling galaw ko lang my soul might left my body. "Anong sadya niyo?"

My secretary rotated the gun in her hand as if she was playing with it, this woman did trick me, I am so stupid enough not to notice it. Masyado akong nagpakampante na hindi ako masusundan ng kalaban. "You sabotage Dad's business," she gritted her teeth like a fool, sayang ganda mo kung bobo ka.

"What kind of business? The illegal one?" I raised my right eyebrow with her, showing how disgusted I was.

"Bitch!" she hissed to offend me, as if I care. Sharp tounge yet dull mind.

"How about you? A narrow-minded? Where is your fucking brain? That business is illegal." I need to awaken her on reality.

Her grip faltered, anger warring with something raw in her eyes. "You ruined everything..."

"I exposed a trafficking ring disguised as 'imports." there is nothing wrong with it. I am just being nice enough to help the government to fix cruelty in this nation.

"My words hung sharp in the air. "How many lives did your pride nearly cost? How many families?"

A loud thud of gun echoed in the four corners of the room, I clenched my first while holding the left side of my chest, blood rills on my cold hands. My vision started to get blurry, my heart began to beat tardy, all I could hear was her fiendish laughter.

I lost my life without fighting.

I gasped for air as I open my eyes, fuck nightmare!
