"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.

September 3rd, the year 2018. Monday.

2 months after Katrina Fajardo went missing.

A month after Dominador Gomez went missing.

Carmela took a step back but Marcus held onto her wrist at the same time. The officers around the area were waiting for the signal from the head of the detectives. Carmela bit her lip as she realized that there was no turning back. Marcus unclasped his palm from her. Matthew shot up a glance and asked if he was okay.

"Don't be afraid. I'm right here, Carmela," Marcus indicated. He breathed while waiting for Carmela to be emotionally stable. He thought that it was not because she feared being in a tight space or she developed some kind of phobia, but it was because of a traumatic experience she doesn't want to remember.
