Chapter 19

HE WAS IN HIS DEEP THOUGHTS when someone cleared his throat to get attention and the latter succeeded.

"What's the plan?" Cholo asked, his soon to be brother in law. At first they're not talking too much to each other just the important things but later on they unconsciously talking some random stuffs without noticing it, the awkward wall between them broke and they interact like a good old friends.

"Actually, I don't have a specific plan but I already plotted it, I just need more time to visualize all the loopholes and shortcomings of the plan that I will make, after all. I still have a lot of time to make things slowly,"

Cholo just hummed, agreeing with his statement before leaning his both elbows on the top of counter while sitting one of the high stool chair of the island kitchen. It was in the middle of the night yet they're still not sleeping, all of the people in the house is sleeping soundly and one of it is Arrisia, after he brought her foods that she wanted he made her sleep, lumabas siya ng kwarto nang makitang mahimbing na itong natutulog dahil nauuhaw siya bigla before planning to sleep beside of the woman he loves.

"Arissia is safe here, don't worry." He assured the latter who is now biting the fruits in the basket on the side. He made his men bought that for Arrissia for tomorrow, susuwayin niya na sana ito nang maubos na nito lahat iyon. He just sighed and shook his head in disbelief, he didn't expected how gluttony this brother in law of his.

"I know, our parents can't even locate this place, they wouldn't find this island because the security is too tight,"

He sit down beside the latter. "Can I ask you something?" Even he was hesitating he still pushed himself to asked.

Napatigil ito sa pagshoot ng balat ng prutas sa basurahan before the latter look a him through his shoulder. Nakatalikod na kasi ito sa kaniya habang seryosong nagtatapon ng basura. He's being playful, ginawang ring ang trashbin sa gilid ng kusina.

May pagkatamad din pala ito kaya ate tumayo at itapon ng maayos ang basura. Cholo is topless, just wearing a pajama. Even the aircon of the mansion is in a high level he's still sweating, he can't believe that this man is quite weird. Perhaps Cholo is just immune in a cold country and get used to it kaya hindi niya masisisi itong pagpawisan dahil hindi ito sanay sa klima ng isla at loon ng bahay niya.

"Arrisia Ayandre, 24 years old. Graduated with flying colors at Harvard University with a degree of Bachelor of Science Computer Engineering. She also mastered the close to close combat like taekwondo and other martials arts, at a young age she didn't feel loved by her family because our clan was known for being merciless and heartless not a doting one. In an early age we are trained to become a person that we don't want, like practicing us to do bad things, for example killing people, gambling to gain a lot of luxury things that we can bring to our clan's underground and basement for illegal transaction with other dangerous people in exchange for food that we can eat, we were trained not to be dependent to our parents and needs to live without their help, we don't have a choice that's why we need to stole to sustain our needs and to buy ourselves food to eat, we maybe the children of a wealthy clan but it's our parents who's rich not us. For us to be able to live, we must snatch things everyday even though it's dangerous and our lives is at risk. We're just playing like in hell, alive yet the half of our body is waiting for death to arrive anytime soon, we don't have the easy life like other children has but we're already happy that every morning that we still breathe, we're still alive and it's already a blessing to us,"

"Our family is using us youngster to do the bidding, they're ordering us to do the things that are hard to do, they believe that the younger one should do the hard jobs while the oldsters will do the light jobs,"
