Worship Me With Your Lips

Chapter Seventeen: A Distraction

Chapter Seventeen: A Distraction

The meeting went well. I got what I wanted, well... what I wanted for the family. Instead of a deal, he gave me a large sum of money as a repayment for everything that went down that night. The money will be enough to build another business, or maybe to invest in a good company, ewan ko.

I still have to think about it properly, pag-uusapan ko pa with Cerine and probably with Geneva. Or maybe I can use it for an investment in a business from America, it's a start.

I also promised that whatever happens to the money, I'll put his name on it as well. Masyadong malaki kasi, tsaka pinasalamatan ko pa rin naman siya.

It's also a gesture to show them that Nakamotos and Dixons are okay, after what he fucking did.

Naiinis pa rin ako, alam kong humingi na rin siya nang tawad pero hanggang ngayon nabibwisit pa rin ako. Kahit na bwiset na bwiset ako kay Silas, he's still one of my friends, he promised to not do such thing again and he says he owes it all to Geneva.

Kahit na bwiset ako sa kanya, mas bwiset si Dominic sa kanya.

Seriously, is Dominic Geneva's husband or is he her bodyguard?

"Hold on..." hinto sa'kin ni Silas bago ko binuksan yong kotse ko.

"... Evan wants to talk to you."

Nanliit ang mata ko sa sinabi niya. I'm not sure this is the right time to talk to him, alam ko na may mga nangyari, no one wants to talk about it, the family is keeping it a secret that will soon be revealed sooner or later.

"Tungkol... saan?"

"He needs your help."

I sighed.

"Tell him I'm open to whatever time. Itext niya na lang ako."

"Okay, thank you... and thank you, really, Karine."

"Whatever, Silas."

"Don't roll your eyes, I gave you the money."

"Oh, shush." Tawa ko.

Hindi ko talaga alam kung ano bang meron kay Evan. I heard that he canceled all his meetings with other people, he hasn't been the head of the CREED for like a week now, si Aida na mismo ang nasa pwesto, I think. It used to be the head of the Ferraren family, may nangyari rin daw kaya naibigay kay Evan.

He was perfect.

I always saw Evan as someone mature, strict, a bit cold. But when you get to know him, he's actually a pretty fun guy to hang out with. Sa'kin, he's the kind of guy you can be friends with, and you could trust in a business venture. What makes him a Nakamoto is not his womanizing attitude, or the fact that he doesn't give a fuck about whether he slept with someone else's wife or daughter.

I still think he's a piece of shit sometimes.

But I think it's his ability to not give mercy to anybody who hurt the people that matters to him. He's just like Aida and Mira, they are all similar to each other.

Kaya hindi ako nasorpresa kung sino man ang mapili sa posisyon diyan sa trono sa CREED. Actually, it's not even a throne, it's like being in a cage that controls the people around you to take out what is needed to be destroyed.

If Evan needs my help, it only means something, and especially at this moment and whatever his situation, something happened.

Hindi ko nga lang inaakala na ganon siya kabilis. Pagbalik ko sa mansyon, napansin kong may nakaupo sa loob ng opisina ko. It used to be my father's, but he gave it to me instead and customized it for me as a gift when I graduated.
