"Heyaaaah!"

The sound of a horse galloping...

A gentle spank using a whip on the horse' behind...

A girl holding the reign, clasping her thighs tightly on the side of the horse. Giving a little pressure for the horse to continue running faster than its usual speed.

The horse travelled from the side of the magestic mansion.

Then it entered the maze-like flower garden.

It run into the small pathway in-between the tall old trees sorrounding this acres of land owned by the girl's family.

The horse jumped to the other side of an irrigation that waters every crop of the land.

"Stop, Steel! Stop! Woah! " A hint of panic is registered on her face when the horse didn't follow her orders.

"Ano ba, Steel! I said stop. Woah!" She said as she slightly pulled the reins backward.

The horse continued to run fast and gallops thru big rocks at the bottom of the cliff until it abruptly stopped that she almost fell from it's saddle.

She would have been angry with the horse but immediately her gaze went straight to the almost lifeless body of a woman inches away from the horse's feet.

"Steel! What the hell!"

She got off the horse and approached the almost lifeless woman who was lying on a rather rocky part on the side of the cliff.

"Miss?" She was hesitant to come near her. She slowly brought her hand closer to her body so she could feel if she's still alive or is already dead.

"Ghad! Buhay pa yata s'ya. Mainit pa ang katawan n'ya."

Kaagad n'yang tiningnan kung pwede ba n'yang galawin ang katawan ng babae. Kinapa n'ya kung may sugat ba ito sa iba't ibang parte ng katawan nito.

"Wala! Just bruises and small cuts from rocks and maybe branches of trees she rolled into. Ang ulo lang nito ang medyo may dugo. Particularly on the side of her head na tumama sa may kalakihang bato."

Inangat n'ya ang tingin sa parte ng matarik na bangin na maaaring pinaghulugan nito.

She tear the hem of her shirt and bandaged it on the girl's head before carrying her to the horse's saddle. Making sure na nakaalalay s'ya rito para hindi ito mahulog bago s'ya umakyat sa mismong kabayo.

Pinangko n'ya ang walang malay na babae paharap sa kanya... payakap sa kanya saka ito niyakap gamit ang isang kamay habang ang isa n'yang kamay ang may hawak ng renda.

"Umuwi na tayo, Steel. Yaaah!"

She gently nudge the horse's side for it to walk towards the direction of the mansion.

Unaware of the situation right above the cliff where the girl jumped and fall.

"Nahanap n'yo na ba si Regina?"

A man wearing all black, comfortable sitting inside his lemo, didn't even bother to go down and see what his bodyguards were doing while exploring the side of the mountain where her daughter's car exploded.

"Wala, tito. There's no sign of her being here. Walang buto o anumang ebidensya na nasa loob ng sasakyan n'ya si Regina ng sumabog ito. Maaaring tama ka, tito. Natakasan ni Regina ang mga umambush sa kanya kagabi."

Tinanggal n'ya ang shades at sinamaan ng tingin ang babaeng sumabad sa usapan.

"Violet, Violet, Violet. Hindi ba binabayaran kita para maging kanang-kamay ng anak ko? Bakit mo s'ya iniwan? Bakit hindi mo natulungan ang anak ko?" Kinuyom n'ya ang kamao dahilan ng pagkabasag ng mismong shades sa kamay nito.
