INTO YOU (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER 18

"Good morning, Mr. Montello." Ben greeted him on the phone.

"I need good news," I said this while pouring myself whiskey before tossing it back.

'Everything has been taken care of, sir. We have dispatched some of Mr. Sylvestre's men to look after the Lopez Family. I also made sure that your present for the school director had reached him well; hence, the scholarship of Mr. Lopez was retained, and it has also been extended to his younger brother," Ben stated.

I smirked at that, as I was totally pleased. From now on, that asshole of a director won't listen to anyone but me. Those files might have shocked him completely.

"Good work," I commended him.

"Thank you, sir."

"Now proceed to the next plan," I ordered him with glee.

I can't remember the last time I was this exhilarated. It was so wrong to feel this way, as I know my woman is in a pinch right now, but regardless of the pain she feels at the moment, I'll make sure to fucking take them all away from her.

The sun's rays were coming through the window, making the space brighter than it already was. It made me think about the past.

My life, ever since, has been like this space in my office: it was completely dark and gloomy with all the curtains at night, but the sun made this space brighter and lighter during the day.

Hannah has played the role of a sun in my life, as she suddenly brought sunshine to me while hoisting me up from a deep hole full of darkness.

I felt my eyes close while leaning on the couch in my office. Rivers of dark memories started flooding back.

"Ughh!" I cried in pain after receiving two blows to my chest and stomach. I felt like I was out of breath because of those punches.

"Hoy, Karding! Ano ba?! Huwag mo naman masyadong latayan ang katawan niyan! Malalagot tayo kay boss niyan e, anak ng pucha!" Dinig kong sabi ng isang babae.

"Lumalaban, e!" The guy sitting beside me answered with deep annoyance.

"Kailangan natin 'yang si totoy nang buo para buo din ang bayad sa'tin, bobo!" Galit na bulyaw nung babae dito sa lalaking sumuntok sa'kin.

"Hoy, Brando! Isa ka pa, bilisan mo namang mag-drive hangga't maari, oh! Para tayong nakikipaglibing dito sa pagmamaneho mo, e!" Bulyaw pa din nung babae and she might be referring to the driver this time.

My hands and feet were all tied, and I was also blindfolded, so I didn't know our exact location or where we were. I just knew the car had been moving for a long time now and hadn't stopped even once.

These people kidnapped me while I was in our car on my way home from school in the evening. I saw five silhouettes of people who caught me, but I didn't have the chance to look closely at their faces. That's because they put a cloth in my mouth and nose with some chemical on it, and that made me slip into unconsciousness.

I woke up hysterically, shouting and kicking simultaneously at every object that my body could hit. That's why I got those blows from this guy beside me. I could imagine him being bald, fat, and short with his mere voice.

After another two hours on the road, we reached our destination.

"Hoy totoy, bilisan mo maglakad kundi sasamain ka talaga sa'kin!" The guy shouted at me while hardly pushing me forward. I almost tripped on my feet because of that.

I just remained silent despite all the anxieties that were starting to build up in my mind. They only needed the money, so I know they will let me go after they get what they want. For sure, my parents won't just let me die here, will they?
