TENSION AND INFURIATION were building up in the atmosphere inside of the room. Vlad had paused a second by the time he saw his big brother standing behind him. They even locked an eye to eye contact before it broke by Leila's weeping agony.
Napalingon muli si Vlad sa harap ni Leila. "Leila. Tahan na. You're safe now," he pleaded and as if he could feel Leila's pain.
"She won't listen to you, Vlad. There's only one now who she wanted to listen to."
"Do you really have to say that? And what's your point anyway? Bragging? I know she picked you over me but it doesn't mean na puwede mo na siyang pabayaan. You aren't even here earlier. What the hell are you doing? You should be protecting her!" Napatayo na si Vlad at lumapit sa kuya niya. Annoyance was written all over his face.
