"You were never the best pretender. Instead, you are my best friend. My dearest friend. The trust I build-up, and the memories we shared, it all shattered. You broke everything. If killing you would condemn me to hell, I just have to take a seat beside you. I will never forget your betrayal while your body is dying." 

Set off in the year of 2018, in the capital of Manila, the group of 7 friends, together with the office worker's brother, a popular actress, and a painter, were mystically followed by a person wearing a black hoodie. 

Everyone has a secret to keep, but when someone tries to peek into the gloom, you will never know how dark they are.

I originally entitled this story "Diyes" which means "Ten" in Latin words. It also released this story in the year 2018 as an unofficial/ school project film on the university premises of Pamantasan ng Cabuyao. 

Together with the author herself — that's me — the story's arranged with Razil Jane Mamplata and Chris Joshua Gonio as the main scriptwriters for the film. 

However, the book was written by me myself with many additional scenes that are not shown in the school film. 

SPECIAL THANK YOU CREDIT FOR ALL THE CREW WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE SCHOOL FILM ON THE YEAR 2018. YOU ARE PART OF MY WRITING CAREER JOURNEY AS IT TAKES FLIGHT.

Ten Darkest Secrets (Betrayer Series Book #1)

Manila National Police Station.

July 21st, the year 2018. Saturday.

Katrina Fajardo's 23rd birthday.

10 hours and 7 minutes since Katrina Fajardo went missing.

Marcus never thought that he would interrogate someone that he doesn't know. It's dreadful to hear that your best friend was missing. Yet, the worst feeling that he could get right now was that Ms. Alestre was Carmela's co-worker at Kelly's Diner. Even then, someone reported that Ms. Alestre Xian Santos's mistress, the ex-boyfriend of both his best friend and Margo Monteverde.

"You should start questioning her right now, Lieutenant Dela Rosa. It's already half an hour after 4'o'clock," Lieutenant Lirio muttered. Marcus opened the door, glaring right at Michie. The woman who sat down by the table stared at her reflection with weary eyes and sulked shoulders. Marcus stood in front of her and she relentlessly gazed into his eyes.
