Red Light, Green Light

Nineteen

"And what about the one I asked you to look into?" 

"So far there are suspicious activities from Mister Bronwin, Mister Ambrose" 

Napa bugtong hininga ako sa lahat ng papeles na nakikita ko sa aking lamesa. Everything is such a mess and it's all becoming a turmoil. Tambak ng tambak lang kasi mga ito sa lamesa ko 

I massaged my temples from all that's happening, though I am getting to the bottom of it all no matter what. I don't want her involved in this

Not especially I'm starting to........ care about her, ayoko ma damay si Melzhaine 

"Todd, that bastard" I said as I sipped from the whiskey that was in my hand as I sat on the swivel chair

"Sir" Pagsalita ni Andrius

"What is it?"

"I know this is not my place pero- have you talked to the young Miss Castillo?"

Memories from that night in Tokyo surged my mind. Under the Sakura trees she looked fragile and vulnerable when she cried, as if ako lang yung kakampi niya nung gabi na yon the way she just showed me how weak she can be at times, I knew she wasn't always stubborn and bratty as she always portrays that she is

The way every touch of my hand just perfectly fits in every part of her body, fuck not now, it's making my dick throb from the thought of her 

Though it occur to me again, I left immediately when she fell asleep that night in my penthouse. When I studied her gorgeous face when I attempted to kiss her breathless and passionately I stopped myself remembering, how can I possibly be.....

Falling in love with that young woman? Hindi pwede, I'm probably an asshole for just telling her that I'm just lusting over her and that we'll be nothing more

She can't be with me. A complicated man with a complicated life. Akala niya lang siguro ay porket angat ako sa buhay ay wala na akong problema, and maybe if the gods of fate would have been kind to us we would have meet in different circumstances

I meant what I said I don't care about the consequences if I do finally get her, but the thing is I'm not that selfish. If I let my selfishness get in the way now I'll just ruin her

"Sinabi ko na na ayaw ko siyang makita. I'll just work out things quietly behind her back" I shrugged and sipped the whiskey casually and turned the swivel chair back facing the large windows of my office

telling her that should be enough. Para ma ilayo ko na siya sa lahat ng gulo na mangayayri pa lamang. Her bastard boyfriend will be the downfall of the Castillo's but not if I stop and expose that asshole first

Recently, we found evidences that Todd isn't only involved in illegal drug activity but his Family, The Bronwins are about to go down in major bankruptcy. Nagawa nilang maitago ito sa publiko upang maiwasan ang kahihiyan na maidudulot nito sa Family name at legacy nila.

Some of their businesses in some countries closed down, due to a lot of imbalances happened to their business, and they managed to save face when they knew that the youngest daughter of Galvan Castillo isn't wedded nor engaged to anyone

They took advantage of Melzhaine's posh lifestyle and treated her like she's some stupid tool.

Nakakuyom ang kamay ko sa whiskey glass na hinahawakan ko, hindi ko namalayan na wala na palang laman ito

"Sir- This was from yesterday" Andrius added more files of info to my desk, I immediately took a look at it

"Who are these people?" Kinuha ko yung mga litrato sa loob ng envelope
