Chase's PoV
"Apparently Ms. Samantha used up the company earnings sa pagsusugal when she went to LA. And she's also wanted for escaping a casino in Las Vegas without giving the money she lost in a bet. Hindi ito alam ng parents ni Cassy but we need your family to pull your shares or just pay the fine sa pag-urong sa kontrata because once audit finds everything out, makakasama sa babagsak ang kumpanya niyo Mr. Montemayor."
"What the heck? She's really not in the right mind" komento ko sa sinabi ng lawyer namin.
"Also, apparently the Guillermo's are near bankruptcy, pag lumabas pa tong issue na to, mas lalo silang malulubog. And more cases will be filed against them mula sa shareholders"
"Damn, we need to pull out immediately"
"Yes. Bago natin ipush through ang mga kaso, kasi if the case and hearing starts, magsisimula din mahukay lahat"
"I see, thank you"
"A-ano mangyayari kina mama, Chase? K-kay ate?"
"Worst comes to worst they'd be in prison Cassidy"
"Is it really the only solution?"
"Cass... this isn't even about how they treat you anymore. Ibang usapan na negosyo, pag niloko mo mga katransaksyon mo, it's normal na makasuhan ka at makulong"
"B-but..."
"Alam kong mabuti pa rin puso mo sa kabila ng lahat but this time, your family deserves it Cass. Wala tayong magagawa dun"
Cassidy's PoV
After hearing everything mula sa abogado namin, I stood silent. Mula byahe hanggang makauwi ng bahay tahimik ako kasi... hays.
"Cass? Hon?"
"H-ha?"
"Are you not feeling well? Kanina ka pa walang kibo"
"No..."
"What's wrong?" Sambit ni Chase holding my hands
"I-iniisip ko lang yung mga sinabi ng abogado kanina..."
"You're worried about your family?" Nahihiya naman akong tumango sa tanong niya
"Cass... hindi mo na hawak yun eh... oo kung ikaw, madali mo sila napapatawad, you still have that consideration in you pagdating sa kanila despite everything that they did to you, pero kasi Cass, hindi naman natin magagawan ng paraan yung paglabag ng ate mo sa batas. Pati na yung magiging epekto nun sa kumpanya nyo. It's inevitable"
"I know..."
"Hey..." sambit niya cupping my face, "ipagdasal mo na lang sila... that's the least you can do sa mga bagay na hindi mo na kayang kontrolin Cassidy. Okay?"
"O-okay..."
"Lika na pasok na tayo, ha?" Sambit niya na tinanguan ko na lang bago kami pumasok ng bahay
