♠ Chapter Thirty-Five♠
Ace:
Kill him now, Ace. That's an order. That was an order for over two years—ito ang trabaho ko, this was what I paid for. The extraction of this multi-billionaire bachelor—Alessandro Dela Verde.
So, where to, Ace? I coaxed myself to focus on the road—madilim pa kasi. I sneaked out at 2am at nakarating ako sa syudad around 3am. Nag-iwan nalang din ako ng sulat para kay nanay Rosario—ayokong madamay siya. May binayaran na rin akong mga tao to protect to her, if in case the organization will hunt me.
I knew, they would.
I hope, fate will never let our path cross again, Alessandro. That time, it'll never be the same again. Take care always and don't trust easily.
He'd read it by tomorrow. I heaved my deepest sigh.
Where to go? Where to hide? Bahala na! I just need to choose a country to head to, half an hour and I could almost reached the airport.
I was driving now still thinking about Alessandro—
When suddenly, I was blinded by lights coming from two vehicles. I tried na iwasan sila pero kita ko kung paanong binangga ang kotse ko ngayon—hindi ko nakontrol ang manubela!
Napabalikwas ako ng bangon!
That dream—that was real.. My heart was thrashing loud, naririnig ko ang lakas ng pintig ng puso ko ngayon. I was hit deliberately—the organization was hunting me, the price I need to pay. Napalunok ako.
W-Where am I? Lumingon ako sa loob ng kwarto—w-where ambushed earlier, I was with Franko!
I..recalled my memory.. Naalala ko na lahat..
Bumukas ang pintoan.
"Erik? W-Why.." Erik was standing holding the knob.
"Are you fine? Kumusta na ang pakiramdam mo, Ace?" May pag-alala sa boses nito. Wait, I didn't remember I called him as I arrived Alessandro's mansion—I promised a call pero I chose not to..
"Erik, how did you—I mean, nasa isla ka 'di ba? And how did you save me from the ambush?" I was too confused now but my eyes pinned on the next man who entered the room with his heavy steps—Nelson?
W-What the..
Erik's face turned dark—his aura changed. So, ang lahat ng tulong niya sa'kin was all..staged.. He was working with Nelson. He was working to finally eliminate me.
"Guess, you already knew the answer, Ace." Erik said sabay tingin kay Nelson, the head of the umbrella I was in for years. Sa misyon ko lang kay Alessandro ako pumalpak! At alam ko—that was the biggest mission I had failed..
"Look at you, Ace—sinayang mo lang lahat. Now, you're paying it, again." Sabay bunot ng baril nito with a silencer.
Alessandro:
"What do you mean, Ija?" We were in this club that he owned. He told me to personally dropped by and hear his updates.
"Well, based on these reports na tinago nila—she had a serious head injury three years back." Ibinigay niya ang mga papel sa'kin pero hindi ko na hinalungkay pa—Ija's words were enough to validate..the truth out of her words.
Serious head injury?
And hindi siya bumangga—binangga siya deliberately that day.
"Her organization was behind this," May mga pictures siyang ibinigay sa'kin that I took a deep look into it—gusto kong sa kamay ko sila mamatay. I'd make sure of that!
She was with this guy in the picture. I didn't know, I was not sure—kung sa'n ko nakita ang lalaking 'to. No wait—that night when the club owner, Mr. Chua died?
Nasa kabilang table siya.
"She was tailing you for two years, you're his target—everything was planned until you bumped her that night." Damn, right. I drank all the liquid that left strong alcohol inside my throat—but hell, I needed it.
"And she chose not to kill me," Maraming pagkakataon—pero hindi niya ginawa. Was it still part of Ace's plan?
"Her organization anticipated that she died—but she was obviously wandering around at dahil nga may amnesia siya, she didn't care at all sa maaaring mangyari sa kaniya if her organization found out that she's alive." Nakuyom ko ang mga kamao ko. I bloody realized now! She was being penalized—physically because of me!
Her scars—ang mga latay ng latigo—dahil yun sa'kin, she told me, she remembered those memories. Oh God.. And I was too harshed—too jerk back in the island! Nakuyom ko ang mga kamao ko.
***
"Don't let her go out and not without my permission, Franko." After we arrived here in my mansion—I didn't have the face yet to look at her—guilt attacked my conscience and not until I caught those bloody maggots!
Not until I could give her the guarantee that she's finally safe—with me. Sisiguraduhin ko yun. The reason I was working it day in and out.
I looked at her, sleeping on the queen-sized bed. It's been nights that I sneaked inside the guest room where she stayed in—I made sure, she had all the things she needed. I knew, I was an asshole the time we first met and agreed that she'd worked with me and pretend to me my fiancée.
***
"Anastasia, stop it—go out, now." I didn't anticipate the early nuisance in my office—as early as this morning time. Anastasia's slowly undressing herself like f**k!
"No, Al.. Please let me, I miss you damn much." She sat on my lap swiftly, damn it! I pushed her when the door opened suddenly—and Ace was here, standing.
I pushed Anastasia away from me. "Out now," Mariin kong utos kay Anastasia. I felt like cold water ran down my spine the way Ace looked at us now.
I grabbed my phone and checked if Franko had sent some texts about her presence today—damn it, may missed call and chat nga. I missed to check it.
"Ibibigay ko lang 'to sa'yo.. You don't have to act like this—it's signed already. You're free." What the hell was she saying? Sabay lapag ng brown folder sa bakanteng mesa then she rushed off my office just like that. What the f*ck!? Is she talking about the annulment papers?
