Evil Kings #1: The Conniver (A Dark Suspense College Romance)
Blurb:
He is lurking in the shadow;
I was invisible to him.
But when I saw him again,
Rafael Vincent Hawke,
He treated me before like I'm air;
I'm a ghost to him.
But Now.
I'm trap...

I watched my father endlessly throw away all the things he saw in his office. I'm just standing in the corner. Nagpakawala ako ng mahinang tawa para tumigil siya.
"This is not fucking funny, Rafael!" Mariin na sigaw n'ya. "The Monteiros are getting on my nerves." Gigil na dagdag na aniya.
Hindi ako umimik. Pabagsak niyang inupo ang katawan sa swivel chair. Hinilamos niya ang kanyang mukha. My father is so frustrated right now, nakakatawa siyang tignan, hindi 'ko nga alam kung dapat ba ako maawa o tumawa na lang nang tumawa sa postura niya ngayon.
I pulled back from my position. Naglakad ako para lumapit sa kanyang lamesa. It wouldn't matter if sa akin niya ngayon ilalabas ang sama ng loob. Ever since I was born and grew up in this shitty town, I've known I'm a black sheep.
I always have been.
It wouldn't hurt, alright? Since I know my father likes to use me for his benefit, And as his son, who wanted to have a good relationship with his father, That's a good deal between us.
"You know what you are gonna do, Rafael."
I'm trying to get my cigarette in my pocket. He placed a dollar cash on his table.
"I think that's enough for you para sundin ako, tama ba?"
"What do you want me to do?" Agad kong sinabi. Bumuntong hininga siya at tinignan ako sa pagod na ekspresyon.
"Alam mo na ang gusto kong gawin mo, Rafael. Spying, Rowan and his illegal deeds.
Nagpakawala ako ng mahinang tawa.
"And do you think he isn't smart enough not to notice me?"
Sinamaan ako ng tingin ng aking ama. Pabagsak niyang hinampas amg lamesa.
"Just do what I said, Rafael. We both know that I am capable of doing something that you wouldn't like."
I clenched my jaw. Napasandal ako sa sinabi niya.
"This isn't enough," I said to him.
"What?!" Mariin nitong sinabi.
"Really? Bibigyan mo ako ng nine hundred? We both know that it's not enough to pay those all high prices bills here, Papa."
Nanggigil ang aking ama na sinamaan ako ng tingin. I smirked when he give me more a fucking dollars.
"Get out. I want to be alone"
"Thanks for this, Dad." I said nonchalantly. Hindi na siya kumibo kaya nakangisi akong nag lakad paalis.
I'd be lying if I said I don't like what my dad wants me to do. Since we both benefit from this plan, he can get more information to bring down Monteiros and me? I'm playing with his money.
My father has been beefing with the Monteiros. It's all about business. Who's richer and superior between them. Hinding-hindi mag papatalo ang aking pinaka-mamahal na ama sa larangan ng negosyo.
