Queen Red Ice [EDITING]

Truth.

Astrid's POV

"Sandra and I,"

"What?!" napasigaw  ako.

"Yes, you heard it right. Sandra and I. Kami ang naka-diskubre nun," sagot niya.

"How?" I firmly asked.

Queen's POV

"How?" she firmly asked.

"Okay," I stated and told her the story.

Flashback

*Summer Vacation*

"Girls, since I know you're all ready physically, so, I guess it's already time for the next step," sabi saamin ni tita Bridge.

"What's that po, tita?" tanong ni Nadz.

"I want you to investigate. Go to my office one -by-one and I'll give you your tasks," sagot ni tita.

"Yes po, tita," sagot naming lahat.

"Good," sabi niya and headed to her office.

We went inside  one by one and recieved what we were supposed to do.

After nun, we are all supposed to go to sleep already but bago pa masara ni Sandra ang pinto niya, pumasok ako with no sound. Let's see.

I held her right arm and tried to twist it. Pero agad niya akong na-counter attack. Good.

She pushed me pero dahil sa nakita niya na ako iyon, she pulled me back.

"Good. You're improving," sabi ko.

"You don't have to do that," sagot niya.

"Ano ang ibinigay sa'yo na task ni tita?" diretsahan kong tanong sakanya.

"She told me na pag-aralan ko daw ang M6 Company and try--no. Build a partnership between our company and theirs," sagot niya.

Yes, we have our own company. The Queen's Empire. It's a coglomerate which composes of five branches;  The Leone Feroce (Shipping), VL Company (Mining), The Henderson Group (Financial Investments), SCM Academy(School) , and Carbonel Domain (Real Estate) .

The Leone Feroce belongs to Nadz's Family, while The VL is Sandra's, The Henderson, of course, Denise, SCM Acad.  is Pia's, and Carbonel domain belongs to my family.

"Ako na ang bahala diyan," sabi ko na ikinagulat niya.

"Ano?! Hindi pwede, Red! Saakin to ipinagkatiwala ni tita!" sagot niya.

"You don't trust me?"

"I trust you. I trust you like a fcking alot," sagot niya.

"Eh yun naman pala eh. Let me handle it," sabi ko.

"But why?" tanong niya.

" I want you to focus on something else," sagot ko.

Mukha namang naging interisado siya.

"What is it?" tanong niya.

"Search on this," sagot ko and gave her a folder which contains what I want her to search.

"Who are these people?" tanong niya pagbuklat niya ng folder.

"Posibleng may kinalaman sila sa pagkamatay ng mga magulang natin," sagot ko  which caught her off-guard.

"W-what?" pagkautal-utal niyang tanong.

"Yes, dear. Posibleng may kinalaman sila sa mga nangyari years ago. Are you in?" sagot ko.

" As always," sagot niya.

Nakita kong maluha-luha ang mga mata niya.

Agad ko siyang niyakap.

"Ssssshhh. Tahan na. We will solve this. We can do this. We are a team, remember?" sabi ko.

"Pero paano ang iba?" tanong niya.

"Let's keep this as a secret, " sagot ko.

End of flashback...

"That's it, " sabi ko.

"I don't believe you! Tell me how you guys knew the truth!" excited na sabi ni ate.

"Yun nga. Sandra searched about it and one-by-one nakakakuha na siya ng information," sagot ko.

"Since when?" tanong niya.

Flashback....

"Teka, Sandra, why did you say that to them?" tanong ni Nadz kay Sandra nung narinig naming nagpaalam siya sa boys. (Refer to "Bitter")

"Diba sabi ni tita last week na this week niya iche-check kung ano na ang nangyari sa pinaiimbestiga niya sa atin? What if we'll just go home at ayusin yun? Baka dadating na lanh si tita, hindi pa malinaw ang pina-iimbestiga niya sa atin," mahabang paliwanag ni Sandra.

"K," sagot ni Nadz.

Pumunta kami patuloy sa Hideout namin.

Habang inaayos nila ang kanilang gawain, pinuntahan ko naman si Sandra sa kwarto niya.

"Ano? Ok na?" tanong ko.

"Q-queen," sagot niya at tumulo ang mga luha niya.

I knew it.

"What did you find out?" tanong ko.

"Professor Albert Scott. *sobs*  Teacher ni Pia. *sobs* May kinalaman," sabi niya between her sobs.

Hmmmm. Hindi na bago 'to.

"What's new with that? He has been associated with rape cases in our school, right? He must be a resident criminal," sabi ko.

End of flashback....

***********************

After my talk with ate Astrid, lumabas na ako at sumunod naman siya.

Kumain na kami after nun and right now, papunta na ako sa kwarto ko upang maagang magpahinga.

"Queen," rinig kong tawag ni Sandra saakin.

"What?" Tanong ko.

"Ngayon na,"
