Sandwich [ Wong Yukhei ]

Thirty Three

After that heated event at lunch, Yukhei sent Catalina back to her office, while he and Dejun were busy planning their master plan on exposing Yukhei's brother. Catalina looked distressed, with her husband's fuming anger, but she knew that when Yukhei is mad, he's really serious.

Flashback

Wong Xiyi was always known as the black sheep of the family. He was kicked out from several middle schools and high schools, due to his uncontrollable nasty behavior. 

He was sent to boarding school at age 15, which made it hard for his younger brother. All the pressure was put on him, on being the "perfect son", because his older brother couldn't do it.

 Their father favored Yukhei more, since he was more reliable, and put together unlike his brother and with this, it started a feud between the brothers. Xiyi was most of the time pushed to the side, unacknowledged by their father. 

He wasn't even in the list of heirs for their father's company. Yukhei on the other hand didn't like the attention. He blamed his brother for being so messed up, and chaotic, so he had to take the responsibilities of being the "firstborn son". 

Yukhei couldn't even have time to hang out with his friends in high school, because he had to take different business management classes to learn how to run their family business.

It was around early spring when the two brothers had their confrontation. Yukhei was a senior in college, and Xiyi on the other hand was busy running around, trying to prove himself to their father. 

"Yukhei, you're here," The older boy said, trying to start a conversation with his younger brother.

 "Yeah, spring break." Yukhei replied curtly. He didn't know how to address his brother, as they were never close.

 Sure they played a lot when they were kids, but when they Xiyi entered middle school, their relationship began to crumble. The older boy cleared his throat, and tried to make their conversation to continue. 

"I heard you're getting married," Xiyi said, which made Yukhei look at him. He was busy scanning through his notes since his finals are fast approaching. 

"Yeah, father told me," He replied. The fact that this girl was supposed to be his brother's wife annoyed him. He didn't want to get married so young. He wanted to continue studying and get PhD, but all thanks to his brother, he can't make it happen.

"Don't agree with father," Xiyi said. Which made the younger boy slam his textbook shut. "I don't want to have this conversation. Excuse me," He said as he stood up.

 He tried to walk away, but the older one blocked his way. "Why? Are you scared that your goody-goody image might be destroyed if you go against father's request?" Xiyi said, which made his younger brother's blood boil. 

"A puppet indeed," Xiyi added, and chuckled. 

A few seconds later, Yukhei's fist landed on his brother's face. "If you weren't so messed up, then maybe I wouldn't have to get married, and do the things you're supposed to do," Yukhei said, his face with visible anger. 

Xiyi on the other hand tried to regain his posture and grabbed the vase behind him, and threw it at his younger brother, Luckily, the younger boy was quick to dodge the vase that was just thrown at him.

 "Where are your manners, you brat?! I'm your older brother!" Xiyi exclaimed. 

"Are you? Because if you are, then you would have put your shit together, and do your responsibilities as an "older brother"! You don't even have respect for yourself and you want me to respect you?!" Yukhei spat. 

Xiyi didn't hesitate as he pushed him to the ground and attacked him. Their mother quickly noticed the commotion happening in the living room and quickly screamed for her two sons to stop fighting. 

"Xiyi, Xuxi, enough!" Mrs. Wong said, as tears streamed her face. She couldn't bear to see her two sons fighting.

"Stop!" A loud voice could be heard from the staircase. It was their father, with visible anger and frustration over his face.

 "Wong Xiyi, Wong Yukhei, stop this ridiculous act of yours. You aren't kids anymore!" Their father exclaimed. Which made the two stop from hitting each other.

 "Xiyi, what do you think you're doing picking a fight with your younger brother?" Their father asked. "What's the point of explaining anyway when you don't care?" The older one replied, and walked out of the living room.

 Mrs. Wong rushed beside her younger son, wiping the blood that was dripping from his forehead. "Xuxi, what were you thinking?" she asked, as she gently placed some medicine on the cut. "He was being disrespectful, mother." The boy replied as he clenched his fists.

 "Still, that isn't an excuse to fight with each other. Both of you are already adults," His mother added, trying to get her point across. 

"He punched me first mom," Yukhei tried to reason out. "Enough, I don't want to hear it anymore," The lady said, and stood up from her seat. 

"You go rest. I'll tend to your brother now," She said, as she took the first aid kit with her and went to her other son's room.

Catalina Anne

It was already almost five pm when I left my office. I promised Luna that I would go home early today and make her dinner, since she behaved really well this week. I went down to the parking lot, and took out my car keys. I unlocked my car, and walked towards it.

Until I felt a gun being pointed behind me. "Give me the keys," I heard the man say. In situations like this, it is best to stay calm. I passed him my car keys. "Get in the car," he added, and I followed him. "Where are you taking me?" I asked, my voice filled with nervousness. "You'll see when we get there,"

"Wong Yukhei, bring it on," 

I heard the man say. The fear I felt was unexplainable. I didn't want to die. I was scared that my daughter might lose her mom. The man drove as far as he could, we were already outside downtown. He abruptly stopped the car in front of an abandoned house.

I got off the car, then suddenly I felt blood gushing from my neck. My vision was clouded, and I slowly fell on the ground and blacked out.

Wong Yukhei

"Sir, emergency!" Neil said as he rushed inside my office. 

"Your wife has been abducted," He said, which made me immediately drop the papers I was reading. "What do you mean abducted? I just added security," I replied.

 Instead of answering Neil gave me his iPad, and there I saw Catalina being held hostage at her office parking lot. I went to my coat rack, took my suit jacket, and wore it. 

"Neil, let's go," I said, and Neil quickly followed me. I knew who took her, just by that figure of his. It was too damn clear.

I hurriedly went to the elevator and pressed the ground floor. I dialed Dejun, to let him know that Catie had been abducted. 

"Dejun, it has begun," I said, trying to compose myself. 

I was scared that my brother would hurt Catie. I would never forgive myself if anything happens to her. "Should I ready the guns?" He replied. 

"Yes please do. Neil's still figuring out where Catie's car is." I said. "Good, send me the location once you track it." He replied and I ended the call. 

I knew this day would come. I just didn't expect it to be today.
