Chapter 2

***

Napakunot-noo noo si Fatima sa biglang pag-ring ng cellphone niya. Sino ba nanaman itong tumatawag? Wala pa nga siyang isang linggo rito sa Italy.

"Hello, Catrina Collins speaking. May I know who am I talking to? "Magalang na bungad ni Fatima. Her voice is screaming strong authority and can make you feel chills. Not unlike other girls ay nagpapacute pa kapag tinatawagan. Tsk, what a pathetic.

"Hi! How are you my beautiful niece?" tugon ng nasa linya. She realize it's his uncle Dencio Fonacier. He is a mayor in City of San Fernando.

"I'm better than fine uncle. Napatawag ka? You know I'm in Los Angeles. Wala ako sa mood sa anong ipapagawa mo, "malamig na tugon ni Fatima.

"Easy Catrina. I just want to invite you to my friends birthday. Alam ng lahat na kung nasaan ka ay nakasunod si kamatayan kaya..." he suddenly stop. What does he mean?

"Kung kaya? What? "She asked and frowned, " Didn't I say that I'm not in mood right now! "She shouted.

"Kung kaya dumalo ka upang mailihis natin ang atensyon ng mga kalaban. This time, you don't need na pumunta sa drug transaction sa pagitan nila Alfonso at Vilardi. " wika nya.

Natahimik siya sandali. Kung tutuusin mas madaling trabaho ito dahil ililigaw niya lang ang atensyon ng mga kalaban, but she want to join that transaction so she can make sure na walang sasablay at para na rin makahanap siya ng mga bakas na kailangan niya sa paghahanap sa nakababatang kapatid niya at sa hayop na sumira sa pamilya niya.

Natauhan na lang siya ng tumikhim ang kausap. "Actually ayoko sa ganyan. I want action not dating someone out there, "she said to him over the phone.

"You know how I hate romance and cheesy party. I don't want to waste my time. "Because she rather spend her precious time seeking for justice rather than dating. Argh! Such a waste of time.

She badly want to accept Gio's offer but because of what he done to my friend-Isabella-she lost her interest and trust to his family.

"It's not actually dating or flirting, my niece. You will just display your presence there na para akalain nilang nasa major's party ang lihim na transakyon pero hindi, "saad nito.

Napabuntong-hininga na lang si Fatima.

"How much uncle? "She asked directly.

"Name your price my niece, "saad nya. Umiling si Fatima. She don't want money or promises. She want something new.

"You know me uncle, "maawtoridad kung sagot.

"Fine. I'll help you to find him. And bunos. I'll transfer a million money in your account. But I can't assure you that I can find him that easy, " saad nya sa dalaga.

"Deal. Pupunta ako. Kailan ba? "I said

"Tomorrow in the afternoon in mayor's mansion in Greenville Subdivision, "sagot niya.

"Okay I'll be there, "Fatima said.

She sipped a wine after she ended the call. It's already dark outside. Halos ilang oras na pala siyang nagkulong sa kwarto.

"Every transaction help me to know you, "she whispered. Hinding hindi niya mapapatawad ang lalaking iyon. He is the one who destroy her family so in return, she will destroy his life triple time.

Habang nakatanaw sa maliwanag na buwan ay hindi maiwasang maalala ni Ben ang babaeng yun.

She is dangerous but why? Why is he so attracted to her? Para bang gusto niya syang laging nakikita at nakakausap kahit na alam niya namang ang babae na ata ang pinakapranka at mainitin ang ulo.
