20

Icy and Russo made their way to her Vandal farm house. As they arrive, Icy's brother, Vandal and Icen, welcomes them with open arms, concern evident in his eyes as he takes in their distressed state.

"Bud, what happened?" Vandal asked.

Icy recounts the events at Russo's office, explaining the ominous message her father had left and the chaos they found upon arrival. Russo fills in the details, expressing his determination to keep Icy safe and confront the threat head-on.

As the brothers listens intently, their jaw tightened and their fist clenched as eager to break something into pieces

"I won't let him get away with this," saad ni Icen bago umalis.

Icy having a lot of questions about the man who left. For instance she forgot about his father and her attends shifted to the man walking away.

"Icy gagawa tayo ng plano, seems like the plan we devised must be revised." Ani Vandal.

Together, they revised a plan to increase security measures and gather information to defeat her father.

"So for now let's watch his next move. We will hire bodyguards for both of you, especially Russo. Seems like he's your father alas on getting you." paliwanag nito.

"Bakit mo kami tinutulungan? May naalala ka ba?" Icy took the courage to ask him.

Vandal's demeanor shifts slightly, a flicker of emotion crossing his face but he quickly masks it with a nonchalant expression.

"Ahh. Wala. Don't mind me." kapagkuwan pagbawi ni Icy.

Icy and Russo sit together outdoor of the farmhouse, the tension palpable in the air as they await further movement from her father. Icy fidgets nervously, her thoughts consumed by the looming threat and her unanswered questions about the man who exactly looks like her. She have an idea about who he is.

Russo places a comforting hand on her shoulder after hearing her sighs.

"We'll get through this together, tesorina. Vandal and Icen are doing everything they can to keep us safe."

"Icen..." she murmured. "Kilala mo ba siya, amore mio?"

"Yes, but its better for you to talk to him, tesorina."

"I guess so."

Icy picked with the fallen leaves and played with it. She have a lot on her mind. Her father, Vandal, Icen, and Russo's safety.

"There's been a development. Icen spotted your father men in the area." Vandal said who came outside.

Icy's heart sinks at the news, the reality of the danger they face hitting her with full force. She looks to Russo, her eyes filled with determination.

"I can't let my father intimidate me any longer." she said, without frightening.

The two nods in agreement.

"Is Icen okay?" tanong ng dalaga.

"He is. Don't worry he's expert at fighting."

That made her at ease. People around her were fighting and she won't be the burden. Magsasalita sana ang dalaga ng maramdaman na bumaliktad ang sikmura niya ng maamoy ang mango shake na inilahad ni Vandal sa harapan nila.

Desperately trying to hold back the rising bile, Icy excused herself, her face pale with discomfort as she made her way towards the nearest bathroom. But before she could reach it, her stomach rebelled, and she doubled over in the kitchen, unable to suppress the sudden wave of nausea.
