CHAPTER SIXTEEN

WAKING UP for the second time only to be beaten up and lose consciousness was building up the fear inside Angelo. He wanted to be brave and forget what he experienced back then to plan a counterattack or at least an escape plan.

He knew he wasn't his sister who knew every martial art there is in the world, but still, he wanted to save himself.

Kahit pinanghihinaan ng loob, Angelo wished that Wynter knew that he was missing, para naman maligtas siya nito. He remembered the guy a while ago saying something about the Vazquez'. Long lost son? Me? This would probably be something about their father, dahil 'yun lang ang naiisip niya na koneksyon.

For the third time, Angelo had his consciousness back. He was scared that he might get beaten up again but thankfully they didn't. Ang pagkaluwag ng paghinga niya kanina ang siyang pagkakaba niya naman ngayon nang makitang ikinasa ng lalakeng nasa harap niya ang baril nito saka itinutok sa ulo niya.

All Angelo could do was groan in pain. He didn't have the strength to shout nor even ask what's this man's problem.

"I'm getting impatient. Where the hell are they‽" sigaw ng lalakeng nasa harap niya.

Bigla namang bumukas ang pinto at may lalakeng may hawak ng laptop ang pumasok doon. "Boss, we were able to hack into Ms. Vazquez' unit, and I believe that you would be delighted to see this." Ipinakita nito ang laptop screen sa tinawag nitong boss.

Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ni Angelo nang marinig ang Ms. Vazquez mula Mula sa bibig ng bagong dating. Wynter? Mula pwesto niya, hindi makita ni Angelo kung ano ang pinapanood ng mga ito but he could hear what was going on.

A lot of things got broken and later on, he could hear two voices arguing.

"What the hell, Wynter—"

"Don't you dare what the hell me, Williams!"

Wynter? Nick? Sa pagkakaintindi ni Angelo ay mukhang nagkakapisikalan na ang dalawa. He wanted to know why so he listened attentively kahit na hindi na maganda ang kondisyon ng katawan niya.

Kung siya ay nag-aalala sa dalawa, ang lalakeng tinawag namang boss ay sayang-saya sa napapanood.

"If that's the case then it's over, Dom. Forget our friendship."

"Let me explain, Wyn—"

"You already did, right? And you had that nonsense explanation. I made it clear, Dom. I made my f*cking conditions clear."

Tumawa ng malakas ang boss, "Finally! Vazquez and Williams are breaking apart." Takang-taka si Angelo sa sinasabi nito, pero agad ding natigilan nang tumingin ito sa kanya. "After so many years, you were the only key for the downfall of those two. I should be thankful," nakangiting ani nito.

"W-What's your problem?" At last, Angelo was able to speak.

Bumalik ang lalake sa pagkakaupo sa silyang nasa harap niya. Ang laptop naman kanina ay sinara nila kaya hindi na niya alam ang nangyayari sa kapatid niya't mahal niya. "Good question. Good question. Well, I've got a lot of problems because of your family and the Williams'." Nahalata siguro ng kausap niya na hindi niya maintindihan ang sinasabi nito. "Oh come on. Don't act as if you do not know what I'm talking about."

With a weak voice, Angelo answered, "B-But I really don't."

Lumapit na naman ang lalakeng may hawak ng laptop saka nagsalita, "It is true, senor. The head of the Vazquez family seemed to have left his son in the dark."

Tumingin sa kanya ang boss saka dahan-dahang tumango. "I see." Tumayo ito saka inabot muli ang baril nito na nasa lamesang nasa tabi niya. "Well then, you only have one purpose for us after all." Dumoble ang kaba at takot na nararamdaman ni Angelo nang itapat nitong muli ang baril sa noo niya. "Your death will complete the mission, besides, that's what lady Vazquez said." The guy smirked.

Angelo was sweating bullets. He was breathing heavily and fast. Napapikit na lamang siya habang iniisip kung ito na ba ang katapusan ng buhay niya. He regrets letting Charles go, he should've at least kissed him one last time. Habang naghihintay ng pagbaril ng armadong lalake, puro alaala nila ni Charles ang sumakop sa isip niya. He thought of nothing else but him. Para kahit sa huli niyang oras sa mundo, in his mind, he'll find peace.

After what seemed to be an eternity, Angelo heard the deafening sound of an explosion followed by multiple exchanges of gunshots. He quickly opened his eyes and roamed around the room. He could see fire coming from the left side of the room and then he felt the end of a gun against his forehead once again, but unlike a while ago, the culprit was now behind him.

"What the f*ck is happening‽" galit nitong sigaw.

Narinig naman ni Angelo na sumagot ang may hawak ng laptop kanina. "We appear to be attacked by—"

"Of course we are under attack!" as lalong dumiin sa noo niya ang baril na hawak nito. "Give me an update of what's happening outside!"

Akmang sasagot na ang kausap nito nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at may babaeng pumasok na may dalang baril. She was calmly walking towards them, as she coldly said, "I'll give you an update. Your men are suffering outside, though most of them are dead since they blocked my way."

Halatang natigilan ang boss. "Y-You! How are you here‽"

"Oh simple." Wynter glanced at him before looking back at the man whose gun was ready to shoot him. "I rode a motorcycle to get here. Actually, it's kinda funny." Wyn let out a cold chuckle before she went back to being serious and all. "But I'm not here to tell you so, never mind. Any last words, Igor?"

The man tsked. "How about you ask that to your precious brother? One wrong move, Ms. Vazquez, and his head will blow off."

Wynter reached for a chair and calmly sat there as she played with her gun. "Well, one thing's for sure, Igor. It wasn't just me who you pissed off."

With that, Angelo heard a gunshot and blood splattered on his head. Kasunod nun ay ang pagbaril ni Wynter sa lalakeng katabi ng tinawag na Igor.

Saka lang nakita ni Angelo ang pag-aalala sa mukha ng nakababata niyang kapatid. "¿Cómo estás tú, Hermano? ¿Estás bien?" Wynter asked before pulling out a knife and cutting the ropes tied on his wrists and legs. "Can you walk, Gabby?"

Angelo was still stunned by what was going on and before he could answer his sister's question, a set of strong arms carried him in a bridal way. He quickly turned his head to look at the person, only to be surprised by Charles' serious face staring at him.

"Don't bother struggling to get free, because I have no plans of letting you go," Charles softly said, and because of that, Angelo was able to calm down and settled his head on Charles' chest as he dozed off.
