Destiny and our Beyond (Alfiera Series #1)

Thirty Five

Take him back

As our eyes met, I couldn't find a way out lalo na sa ayos niya ngayon. his usual look the first time I saw him since I came back here, he was matured and more handsome. but the moment I glanced at his attire for work makes my heart pound so hard, screaming how handsome this man is.

I can't help but to watch him scan every paper he holds. The case he holds and analyze it so he can discuss it thoroughly. he was good at this, I don't have any words to say, but he was amazing.

I can't believe this man in front of me was once mine. and now I have to deal with my feelings, I should be responsible for this knowing that he will never be mine again.

"In accordance with the past investigation, Forgialettos already did this to the Andres clan from the past years. Andres clan file a case against them but the Forgialettos used their power to shut them down. Months after, Andres clan decided to withdraw the case against the Forgialettos." Prosecutor Castañeda explained.

"According to our investigation with Attorney Alfiera, we gathered the information and evidences from the same person behind this and it's confirmed, Forgialettos are behind the threats you're receiving sir." dagdag niya.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Cylander ngayon at lumapit ito sa akin. he wrapped his hands around my waist and whispered something. hindi ko iyon narinig dahil nakatutok ang atensyon ko ngayon kay Evo na seryoso at attentive sa mga nangyayari sa paligid niya.

Napansin ko namang bumaba ang tingin nito sa kamay ni Cylander na hanggang ngayon ay nasa bewang ko pa rin. I heard him sighed and shook his head before he turned his attention again to Prosecutor Castañeda.

"As what Atty. Silvestre said, we have to do the investigation process and we will look after the Forgialettos immediately. we will be sending them a warrant of arrest after this so we can do the process of discussing the case to the court if there's any reason to hinder our allegations." saad ni Evo.

"Then if that's the case, we should make a move and be extra careful." saad ni Daddy.

Sabay kaming lumabas ni Cylander habang nakaabang ang mga guards sa labas. medyo nahuli si Daddy dahil kinausap pa nito sila prosecutor Castañeda. maiiwan pa rin naman sila Evo doon dahil may kung anong aayusin pa sila.

"Why is Evo with us?" I asked Cylander when we finally got in the car. tumikhim naman ito at napaayos ng upo.

"He's related to Prosecutor Castañeda, and they work with the same firm." he answered. kaya pala may resemblance ang dalawa.

"Is that so? don't Aero and Xenon doesn't have a prosecutor in their firm?" I asked. nilingon ako nito.

"Meron naman, pero mas may alam si Castañeda sa kaso dahil nahawakan na nila iyon dati pa, that's why their prosecutor refer prosecutor Castañeda to us." Cylander answered.

Hindi na ako umimik pa at napatingin nalang sa labas. habang nasa biyahe kami papunta ng condo ay hindi maalis sa isipan ko si Evo. damn, he's such a fine man. hindi ko halos maintindihan ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, I missed him a lot and I have the eagerness of wanting him back even know there's no a chance for us to be together again.

Hinatid lang ako sa condo at hindi na bumaba si Cylander dahil may kailangan pa itong asikasuhin. kaya naman pagkarating ko sa unit ko ay nagpahinga na ako agad.

Hindi na muna ako pinapasok ni Cael, for safety purposes kaya naman ay nanatili nalang muna ako sa condo habang hinihintay ang signals nila Mommy at Daddy. bibisita daw mamaya si Cylander kaya ngayon ang ginagawa ko ay kausap sa video call si Ariah at Louise.

"You need to take care of yourself." saad ni Louise nang malaman ang kalagayan namin ngayon.

"Ano nga ulit yung narinig ko kay Ell? isa si Evo sa may hawak ng kaso?" tanong ni Ari habang nakataas ang kilay, nagawa pa nitong kumagay sa toasted bread na hawak niya. low-key flexing her new nail color.
