Way Back Into Love

chapter nineteen

GREGORY

"WHAT is it now Troy, I'm busy" saad ko habang sinipat ito. We are in the middle of video chat.

"Kuya ikaw nadaw muna ang mag asikaso sa shipment natin sa Paris" saad agad nito na nagpa-tigil sa pag pipirma ko. I'm in San Diego right now making my life busy.

"Why? I have a lot of things to do here may mga papeles pang dapat pirmahan at mamaya may meeting ako together with the investors from Macau, where's Yvo anyway?" saad ko dito.

There's no problem with me but I should adjust again the schedule.

"He can't work right now, he's been shoot" sagot nito.

"Wait, what?!" I ask him again because I don't hear it right.

"Like what I've said, his been shoot. He need to rest. He refuse to stay at the hospital that's why his staying at the mansion." He explained. I frowned.

"What happened and who shot him?" I ask him

"Ashton Lee"

That bastard, he doesn't know everything. Nora Santillan just using him for revenge.

"Fine. I just need to finish my work here. I'll give an update to Lolo about my meeting after this." We finished our conversation with the knock on my office door.

"Sir" Mark, my male secretary called my attention.

"Any news?" I ask.

"There's someone who want to talk to you." He announced. I knotted my forehead. I don't have any spear time for a chit-chat right now.

"Who?" Mark didn't find a time to answer me as a strong and delicate voice interrupt us.

"Me, Mr. Gregory Monteverde. I know you know me already."

"Of course, Madam Nora Santillian."

The old woman was still stunning and gorgeous.

"I didn't expect this meeting, Ms. Santillian. I believe this is important you even fly here to talk to me."

"I don't want the conversation long; I want you to stop pestering my business. Give back what is mine." She said straight to my face.

"Ms. Santillian, I think you made a wrong visit."

"Alam ko kung paano mo ini-isang sinisira ang mga taong nauugnay sa akin. Monteverde always doing things to the people who they can put to their hands. Kung anong puno sya ding bunga." Anas nito.

"I think you must say that to yourself. Ruining someone's life is your thing. You even killed our parents, for what? To have my Grandfather? What a selfish move you have. You're ready to call a murderer just to get what you want." I stated. I hate her and her reasons.

She looks at me as she was in pain as if she was suffering.

"If I have a chance, I will kill just to get the person who I love the most. But you don't know anything and our past. Samuel made a big mistake but I never think of killing his sons and daughters including Leonora." I saw longing and pain in her.

Why do I like she was in vain all this years.

"Yes, I was in pain because of what Samuel did to me but after he married Leonora I was taken a back and slowly accepted the fact that he will never be mine. But he was selfish for making me believe that he cared for me after my parents die but he used me to get on top. He wanted my money and the company and look how high he was right now." She explains.

From that I understand what she wanted to tell me. I was in doubt. Nalilito dahil sa sinabi nito. All this time we waste a lot of time thinking of revenge.
