Epilogue

"Raze should manage this company! Not Renzo! Renzo is still young to handle this." One of the stockholders said. I signed heavily and look at Renzo, bowing his head while clenched his jaw.

"I trusted my brother in managing this company but if you want me to manage it... the fine. I'll manage it again. Renzo will be back at the position after this crisis." I said. They're all nodded at me. I know that Renzo is too young for this but I already managing it when I was still in college so Renzo can manage it too.

After the meeting nilingon ko sa Renzo na nakasandal lang sa upuan niya at hindi nagsasalita. Pinili ko ding hindi magsalita dahil mukang ayaw niya na may kumausap sa kaniya.

Ilang minuto ang lumipas bago siya nagsalita. "I'm sorry..." iyon agad ang lumabas sa bibig niya matapos ng matagal na katahimikan sa pagitan naming dalawa. "I'm sorry because I failed you again. I promise to you that I can handle this alone but..." Tinukod niya ang mga siko niya sa lamesa at tinakpan ang muka niya. "I failed you." Bulong-bulong niya.

"You did not. Please stop saying that. You don't need to prove anything to me and other people. Do what you want that can make you happy na walang tinatapakang ibang tao. I'll manage this company not because I am disappointed in you. I'll manage it again because this company needs me and you need a break. Let me handle this and clear your mind."

"Thank you..." pabulong niya na sambit. Tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko saka naglakad palapit sa kaniya at ginulo ang buhok niya.

"Always reminder that we are proud of you," I said and get out of the conference room because this is the last hearing of Lorence.

——

"Are you ready?" Tanong ko sa kaniya. Ngumiti siya sa akin at tumango ng tumango. "We will win this case, okay? I'll give Lorence the justice that he deserves."

Sabay kaming naglakad papunta sa korte at umupo sa harapan. Nakita ko na nandoon ang pamilya ko kahit si Cassie at Marca ay nandoon katabi sila Eros, Aries at Dice.

The trial starting. I'm just looking at Mav whose talking to the witness seriously with a cold and authoritative voice.

I used my past with Ara because I need to prove Luisa and Klaus's intention to ruined Ara's name.

Hanggang sa natapos ang kaso at pinatawan ng not guilty si Ara. I looked at Mav who have been crying here. Gusto ko siyang lapitan at yakain.

Gusto kong punasan ang mga luhang tumutulo sa mata niya pero hindi ko magawa dahil hindi pwede. I will just create a commotion and ruin her name that's why I choose not to go near her.

Ara hugged me kaya napatingin ako kaagad sa kaniya. "Thank you... thank you." Pauli-ulit siyang nagpasalamat sa akin. Kumalas siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin at tinignan. Tumango lang ako sa kaniya at nginitian siya. Nagpunta siya sa Step father niya at niyakap ito. Paulit-ulit din nagpasalamat sa akin si Tito at sinabi ko lang na walang anuman.

I heard Mav cry on Maverick shoulder while hugging Maverick.

Maverick kissed his sister's forehead and hugged her back. Aira and Timmy are also hugging her while crying.

Napatingin ako sa pamilya ko na kausap si Zagreus kaya nagpunta ako doon at tinapik sa balikat si Zagreus.

"Thank you." I sincerity said.

"Welcome." Nakangiting sambit niya saka nilingon ang gawi nila Mav. "Are you not going to talk to her?"

"I want to talk to her but not here." I said. He just nodded and answered all my parents and cousins questions to him.
