S.I.A.T.T. Series Book 3: The Wicked Heiress

Chapter Sixteen

There was so many things on her plate right now and she doesn't know where to start. One, she wants to dig deeper about what happened to her grandfather three years ago. And then the incident that occur two days ago in Boracay where she was almost kidnapped- which was unlikely to happen, still the fact that there was someone wanted to abduct her was a bit alarming.

She thinks that there's a connection between those two and she needs to further investigate it. But then she also has her undercover mission in finding out the truth about the conspiracy between the Aragons and the head of the drug syndicate. She knows that she's closer to her goal.

But then again, she also has her personal mission. A mission that she'd make sure not to fail. Owning the same man she had once loved was a mission of her lifetime.

Na para bang matagal na niyang naging misyon iyon ngunit hirap na hirap siyang tapusin. Na sa pagkakataong ito ay sinisiguro na niya na magtatagumpay siya. Pangangatawanan na niya ang desisyon niya at hinding hindi na niya ito susukuan.

Sa dami ng dapat niyang gawin ay gulong-gulo na siya sa kung ano ang uunahin. Kailangan pa niyang makaisip ng panibagong taktika para makalapit muli sa kay Monti at sa mga Aragon.

If she can stay close to him, she can hit two birds at same time. She can lure him in sharing what he knows about the illegal transaction inside the company he's in. And at the same time, she can slowly seduce him in choosing her over his fiancée.

Mahirap pero gagawin niya. Gagawin niya dahil kailangan at dahil gusto niya. Tatapusin niyang pareho ang misyon na nakatalaga sa kanya.

Kasalukuyan siyang bumababa mula sa kanyang sasakyan at saka siya tumingala para makita ang kabuuan ng gusali. Naroon siya sa harapan ng Aragon Weapons and Firearms Building. Iniabot na niya ang susi ng kanyang sasakyan sa guard at saka siya naglakad na papasok.

Sa waiting area sa lobby siya umupo habang naghihintay. Hindi pa nga nag-iinit ang puwet niya sa upuan nang mapatayo siya dahil may biglang lumapit sa kanyang harapan.

"What are you doing here, Reese?" Mataas ang boses na tanong ni Khaela sa kanya. "Are you here to see Monti?
Sinsasabi ko na nga ba na may plano kang agawin siya sakin! You're such a slut!" Nanggigil na salita nito sa kanya.

Napatingin ang lahat nang naroon na mga empleyado pati na ang ibang kliyente. Imbes na maalarma siya dahil sa kahihiyan na tatamuhin ay natawa pa siya sa akusasyon nito.

"Oh calm down, Khaela, you don't need to be so tensed and make a scene here. Natatawang sabi niya. "Why are you looking like that? Are you threatened?" Nang-iinis na tanong niya. "Hindi ba sabi mo noon na hindi ka natatakot sakin? Dahil malabo na maging karibal mo ako kay Monti? You do remember that don't you?"

"I do. And I still think that you're not-"
Hindi na niya ito pinatapos.

"Talaga? Eh bakit ganyan ka umarte? Para kang takot na takot." Pagputol
niya. "Alam mo kasi na kaya kong agawin siya sayo noh? Kasi ginaya mo lang ang ginawa ko noon diba? You forced him into this engagement."

Ito naman ang tumawa sa sinabi niya. Kahit kaunti ay nakaramdam siya ng pagka-inis dahil sa paraan ng pagtawa nito. Na para bang may mali sa sinabi niya.

"And who told you I forced him?" Matapang nitong tanong. "He was the one who initiated this arrangement. No formal status at first but we talked about getting married next year. So that means we're engaged, so back off you bitch!" Matapang nitong turan sa kanya.
