A017's POV
My investigation into Alfredo Go's life and activities was becoming more revealing with each passing day. What started as a professional mission was morphing into a deeply personal quest. Alfredo was not just a businessman; he was intricately connected to a high-profile syndicate involved in operating a POGO (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator) in the country. His influence in the underworld was undeniable, but what truly consumed my thoughts was the mysterious connection between him and my family.
While sifting through Alfredo's extensive collection of personal items and documents, I came across another startling discovery: a photograph of me as a baby tucked inside one of his books. The sight of my infant self in a stranger's possession was both unsettling and perplexing.
Liezel: (thinking) Why would Alfredo have a photo of me as a baby? This connection is deeper than just a past romantic involvement with my mother.
The photograph stirred a sense of urgency within me. I needed to uncover the full extent of Alfredo's connection to my family and, potentially, to me. With this in mind, I decided to take a drastic step to uncover the truth.
I gathered enough evidence regarding Alfredo's activities and his links to the syndicate. Now, driven by a mix of professional obligation and personal curiosity, I decided to take a covert DNA test. I collected a sample of Alfredo's DNA without his knowledge, using it to compare with my own to confirm any genetic connection.
Liezel: (thinking) If there's a connection between us, a DNA test will reveal it. I need to know if Alfredo is more than just a person from my mother's past.
The process was delicate and risky, but it was necessary to uncover the truth. I had to remain discreet and ensure that my actions did not compromise the ongoing mission. The results of the DNA test would hopefully provide answers and clarify the enigmatic link between Alfredo Go and my family.
As I waited for the results, I remained focused on my duties while grappling with the personal implications of my findings. The investigation had taken a personal turn, and I was determined to uncover every facet of the mystery surrounding Alfredo and my own past.
