Unloved Wife's Redemption - (Montenegro Trilogy 3)

UWT: Introduction

--------

She dashed through the dimly lit alley, her heart pounding in her chest, echoing the rhythm of her hurried footsteps against the pavement. Behind her, the faint sounds of pursuit echoed through the narrow streets, a reminder of the danger closing in. She had to move quickly; failure was not an option.

Nagmamadali sya sa paglalakad. Ang kanyang misyon ay tagumpay at ngayong, kailangan nalang nyang makatakas mula sa mga humahabol na kalaban sa kanya. Nag- iisa lamang sya at umaasa sya sa kanyang mahirap na pagsasanay, na maging sandata nya para malusutan ang mga kalaban.

Sa harap, nakita niya ang isang kalawangin na hagdang pang-sunog na nakakapit sa gilid ng isang gumuguhong gusali. Walang pag- atubiling, lumukso sya dito, her fingers gripping the cold metal rungs as she began to ascend. The climb was arduous, each step a test of her endurance, pero hindi sya sumuko dito.

Reaching the rooftop, she paused to catch her breath, her eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of her pursuers. Napakaganda ng mga ilaw sa ibaba pero wala syang panahon para pagtuunan pa ng pansin ang mga ito, kailangan nyang magpatuloy bago pa sya maabutan ng mga humahabol sa kanya, na ngayon, malapit na rin sa kanya.

With a strong determination, tumakbo sya sa ibabaw ng bubong, lumulukso nang walang kahirap-hirap sa pagitan ng mga hadlang na nadaanan nya. Sa kanyang likuran, ang mga tunog ng mga kaaway ay palakas na palakas. Ngunit hindi nya nilingon ang mga ito at nagpokus sya sa ginagawa nya, ang makatakas ang tanging nasa isip lang nya.

Finally, she reached the edge of the building, where a waiting helicopter hovered in the darkness, its rotor blades slicing through the night air. Nang walang pag-atubiling, lumukso sya mula sa bubong at maayos syang naglanding sa naghihintay na platform ng helicopter, at agad naman itong lumilipad paalis sa lugar.

As the city fell away beneath her, she allowed herself a moment of relief, knowing that she had escaped the clutches of her enemies once again. But even as she exhaled a sigh of relief, she knew that her work was far from over. There would be other missions, other dangers to face. But for now, she allowed herself to bask in the satisfaction of a job well done.

"How's your vacation, Rosebud?" tanong sa kanya ng boss nyang si Dylan Saavedra. She is one of the secret agents of Saavedra Empire, a mafia's organization. Meron secret agent ang organisasyon para sa mga special na mission at isa na sya dito.

Isang buwan syang nagbabakasyon pagkatapos ng isang mapanganib nyang misyon. Pero hindi naman talaga sya nagbabakasyon dahil busy din sya sa modeling carreer nya.

Ang kanyang code name ay Rosebud. "Rose" refers to the flower, which is often associated with beauty, love, and elegance. "Bud" refers to the young, undeveloped stage of a flower before it blooms fully. She has an amnesia nung naligtas sya ng mga Saavedra mula sa kalaban ng mga ito. Dahil wala syang alam na kahit ano tungkol sa kanya, napagpasyahan nyang magsanay at sumali sa grupo. Ang kanyang tatlong taon na pagsasanay ay nagbunga ng maganda dahil isa sya sa sinasabing magaling na secret agents ng organisasyon.

"It's fine, boss." nakangiti nyang sabi.

"Well, that's good. Dahil may bago kang misyon. Hindi naman ito tulad ng mga nagdaan mong misyon. You just need to protect someone. You just have to ensure his welfare. Because of the case he's handling right now, his life is in danger. All you need to do is approach him, befriend of him, and ensure his safety at all times."

Kinuha nya ang envelop na binigay nito, at kinuha nya ang papel na nasa loob. Ganun nalang ang panlalaki ng mga mata nya nang tumambad sa paningin nya ang close up picture ng isang lalaki. Isang lalaki na ilang buwan nang gumugulo sa tahimik nyang buhay dahil para itong asong ulol na sunod na sunod sa kanya. Isang lalaki na ayaw na sana nyang makita, isang lalaki na matagal na nyang ibinaon sa limot at isang lalaki na kinamumuhian nya, plano nga nyang paghigantihan kung may pagkakataon lang sya. The man who shattered her heart and ruined her life, none other than Kendrick Montenegro. Her asshole f*cking ex-husband.

"Is he my new mission? Is he the one I need to save from his enemies?' sunod- sunod nyang tanong. Pinigilan nyang maikuyom ang kamao.

"Yes. Is there any problem with that? Do you know him personally?"

Napalunok sya. Hindi pwedeng malaman ng mga kasamahan nya ang masakit na nakaraan nya sa Kendrick Montenegro na ito.

"No! I didn't know him."

"Okay. The first thing you need to do is to approach him. You can do it. You're a model after all, I'm sure you can easily catch his interest. He shouldn't know about this mission of yours. After all, he didn't hire your services, but his siblings did."

Ano? Makikipaglapit sya sa hudas na ito? Iniiwasan nga nya ito. At sino ang kumuha sa serbiyo nya? Mga kapatid nito?

Denver! Nagpupuyos sya sa inis. Sigurado syang sinasadya ito ni Denver. Alam ni Denver ang tungkol sa sekreto nyang ito, na isa syang secret agent.

She wanted to kill this Kendrick, and now, she's going to protect him. She wishes her mission was just to eliminate this f*cking asshole.

Pagkatapos nang pag- uusap nilang dalawa ng boss nya sa bago nyang misyon, agad syang umalis para gawin na ang bagong misyon nya. Sa lahat ng misyon na ginawa nya, ito ang pinakaayaw nya. Pero hindi sya dapat mabigo. Ayaw nyang mabigo sa lahat ng misyon nya.

She's inside the car, reclined back, her mind consumed with thoughts about her new mission. But soon enough, she couldn't help but return to memories of her painful past because of Kendrick Montenegro. A painful past that bore fruit, yet until now, she still searches for that significant part of herself. A crucial part of her that has long been separated from her.

She closes her eyes while remembering all those painful memories and why she ended up hating the one she once deeply loved.

What is marriage?

For me, marriage is a journey rather than destination.

It is a pair of spirits strolling together, hand in hand, on every route.

It's giving the love that brought you together the care and room it needs to flourish.

It's about needing what you already have and working together to achieve what you need.

Kalokohan. Dahil hindi naman ito ang nangyari sa kasal nilang dalawa ni Kendrick.
