Dealing a business involving an innocent girl this time made Blade looked at himself as a bastard. Sure,he just wanted to teach Mr. Sandoval a lesson on how to value his company but then personally he is also beginning to have this weird feeling which was solely new to him the moment he laid eyes on Sandoval's daughter.
For some reason ay nararamdaman niyang may iba pang nangyayari sa loob ng malaking bahay ng mga Sandoval. How come Melchor doesn't have a single family picture inside his house? How come he couldn't see any photo of Andrea? And up until now,how come she's a Piamonte and not a Sandoval? These are just few of the questions that are still playing on his mind.
He has more but those could wait. He will find out himself and hopefully he'll come to a point where he could actually help and not to be look at as the bad person in the end especially Andrea's opinion about him is all that matters.
Andrea.
Laman pa rin ng isip niya ngayon ang dalaga. The only girl who made his heart beat so fast. Ang nangyari kanina sa kusina ay sariwa pa rin sa utak niya. The way she shyly looked at him and the way she blushed brought mixed emotions towards him. However,he couldn't forget the obvious fear she showed earlier. What made her that way?
He doesn't have an idea yet. But he got already a hint it's just that he is also indenial at the moment. Ayaw niyang isiping totoo nga ang hinuha niyang she's been experiencing Sandoval's cruelty not just mentally but also emotionally and physically.
That made him furious also. If only he could send him to jail para pagbayaran nito ang pang-aabuso sa sarili nitong anak ay gagawin niya pero wala pa siyang karapatan sa ngayon. He is out of the picture dahil kung titignan ay ibang tao lang siya at isa pa ay wala siyang solid na ebidensya [ara madiin si Melchor.
But he promised to himself that once everything will happen as what he wanted it to be he will make sure that Andrew will get what is rightfully hers and the justice that she hasn't had for a long time.
"So what can you say about my proposal,Mr. Sandoval?" he tried to cool himself down kahit pa gusto na niyang balian ng buto ang matandang kaharap.
His parents didn't raise him to become violent pero ang isiping minamaltrato nito ang sariling anak ay nagpapakulo ng kanyang dugo lalo. Hindi niya maiwasang makaramdam ng galit at pagkadismaya.
"I don't understand as to why you have to involve Andrea on this matter,Blade?" malamig na sabi ni Melchor.
"Why not? She is your daughter and siya naman ang magmamana ng ito in the end di ba?" he knew that he had triggered an emotion inside him dahil nakita niya kung paano kumuyom ang kamao ng matanda.
"25 million pesos is a huge amount,Mr. Sandoval. Not counting the interests that it's been having for quiet sometime now,I don't know if makakaabot pa ba sa ganoong halaga ang kompanya mo to be honest. Know that I am also a businessman. And business is business. You took something from my company that you can't even return and just like any other businessmen out there,I want what's due and what's fair. I am actually being generous right now. See? It's a win-win situation here,Mr. Sandoval. I want your daughter to be my wife in exchange of your debt. That's it. But as you read earlier,that comes with conditions too. Once she'll agree to marry me,I will let you manage the company still but with Andrea as the owner. Of course,I want my wife to have what I think she deserves to have. Or if not then,I will take your company and make it as my own and the rest of the interest you can pay it in cash after our meeting today. I already have my lawyers prepared everything,so you choose." he firmly stand on his plot.
He has to make him feel that he has the authority dahil pag pinairal niya ang awa ay baka mabulilyaso pa ang plano niya.
He saw how Melchor clenched his jaw and how the papers he handed earlier were a little bit crumpled dahil sa higpit ng pagkakahawak nito rito.
"I'll give you 24 hours to convince your daughter,Mr. Sandoval. And if you both come up with an understanding just phoned in my secretary. I have no time to waste waiting all day for your answer. I am a busy man. I just hope that this time you'll do the right thing." Matapos niyang magsalita ay tumayo na siya. "It was nice to dine in in your house and be here personally,Mr. Sandoval. At least alam kong hindi ako lugi pag nagkataon." aniya saka tinalikuran na ito.
Tuloy-tuloy siyang bumaba ng hagdan. He doesn't know why but he feel relief pagkatapos niyang mailahad ang gusto niya.
He can't wait to see her again. He can't wait to make her his wife. Andrea.
