Being Her [On-going]

CHAPTER 56

Third Person's POV

The White City, ruled by the clan of Whitlock. The very city where the the Whitlock Citadel is located. The successful and top reigning company for decades stands tall at the center of the city.

A skyscraper that dominates the skyline of the city. It towers over the city, occupying a large area, encompassing an entire city block.

The building is a sleek, modern architecture, with glass and steel reflecting the sunlight. The building have a strong, imposing facade, with a nameplate in bold letters proclaiming its ownership.

The area around the Citadel is surrounded with manicured gardens, fountains, and sculptures, creating a sense of grandeur and exclusivity. The streets leading to the Citadel are wide and well-maintained, with security checkpoints and a constant flow of luxury vehicles.

The owner of the city, Alexandro Syrius Whitlock sat on the bench at the park. Pinagmamasdan ang matayog na establisyimento sa harapan niya.

Ang dating pangarap lang niya, nagawa niyang matupad. He became the most powerful man in the country. He succeeded, however he lost the purpose of his success.

He let out a faint sigh. Dahan-dahan siyang tumayo gamit ang kanyang tungkod. Agad naman siyang inalalayan ng kanyang butler at tinulungan.

RAVENESE'S POV

Mabilis kong inilihis papunta sa isang masukal na daanan ang kotse. Matatagalan ako kung sa kalsada ako dadaan. Magkalapit lamang ang White at Scious City pero matagal naman bago marating dahil napakalawak ng dalawang syudad.

Mabuti na lamang ay may alam akong shortcut sa gawing kabundukan papunta sa White City ng hindi umaabot ng trenta minuto. Magkakaroon pa ako ng oras para saglit na kausapin sina Elle at SXM. Hindi ko pa nakakausap ang dalawa.

Ipinarada ko ang kotse sa gilid ng matayog na puno at saka huminga ng malalim at saglit na pinakiramdaman ang paligid ko. Tahimik. Natitiyak
kong ako lamang ang nandito.

Magpapalipas muna ako ng oras. Kinuha ko ang telepono sa dala kong handbag at nagsimulang tawagan si Jasper. It was an international call. I gave him the prepared instructions. Matagal ko din itong inihanda at pinag-isipan ng maigi. *Smirks

Pagkatapos ay si Elle naman. Kaagad naman niyang sinagot ang tawag ko.

"Madam, good thing you called. I have an urgent report." Bungad niya sa kabilang linya.

"What is it, Elle?" I asked. I heard her cleared her throat before speaking.

"Today's the foundation day, Madam. We need your presence. Isa pa, hindi ka pwedeng masapawan ng kambal na iyon. You need to get here, as soon as possible." She ranted. I chuckled. Ang ingay din talaga niya minsan.

"Where are you?" Usisa ko. Mabilis naman itong sumagot na nasa Trium City daw sila. "The Evictrium's are getting ready. Maya-maya lang ay aalis na sila." She reported. I hummed.
