Chasing You

Chapter 17

Result

"It was a win-win situation for the both of them based on the documents that was presented to your father."

"We retrieve those files from his office here in the Philippines that was now owned by the old Mr. Montini."

"It was clear, Rian. They planned this all. They planned to fool your father. They do deserve what we planned."

Inuto nila si papa. Sinamantala ang kabaitan nito. Lavista group of companies are known for saving the failure ones. That means kahit anong klaseng company pinapasok ni Papá just to be the member of the board so he could save it. Pangalan palang ni Papà paniguradong masasalba na Ang bawat kumpanya.

"The first two years of their deal is clear and pure. Not until most of the share holders only side and rely to your father. This is an oil company, and one of the largest company that the Lavistas have is in the same line. There is no doubt why most of the board members rely to your father. And Mr. Montini and the Caravins felt bad due to that."

"Not to mention that they are blood related. The old Caravin and Mr. Montini are siblings."

And they ask my father's help to visit one of their branch so that they could kill him? And what? Maganda ba ang naidulot nito? Hindi dahil kung maganda ito wala sana sila sa kumpanyang tinayo ko ngayon bilang board members.

"How did they kill my father?"

"As what we said, your father visited one of the main branch of the company, it is located out of the city so when he went back in the city a car crash happened. The driver of the car was hired by the Caravins. Then to secure that your father will die Mr. Montini was there to shot your father. Burn the car and live his life."

Kumuyom ang kamao sa mga narinig. I've heard how my father died. He was the only body that was found inside the car and burnt. The drivers of the both car was found bloody dead near the area. Doon palang naghinala na ko. Pero pinigilan ko. Sinunod ko si Mamà. Ngayon hindi na. Ang kakapal ng mukha nila. Nagagawa nilang mabuhay ng parang wala silang hinawang kahayupan. They are such a monsters. And so do I. It runs in the blood. They have to know that.

"End their company right away. I need them to rot before we proceed to the next step."

Tumango si Jacob. Benedict collected the papers while Ahron called someone. Sumimsim ako ng wine sa baso ko at sumandal sa upuan.

I'm sorry, my dear mother. Maybe you were right, other people were right. I am a father's girl. I love him more than you? I am not sure maybe his just my favorite and I hate to think that he was murdered that way. Sorry, I'll do it my way. I know you'll be mad but I cannot take it. I just hope papà would help me even if I know he'll also scold me if he found out about me leading his men to this dirty plan.

"How about the other companies connected to them?" Tanong ni Benedict.

"Oo nga! Most of those companies will be surely affected."

"And that includes your lover, Rian." I stared at Jacob hearing what he said.

No, he won't be affected. Not unless they'll really push that marriage that everyone has talking about. I'll be sorry for him. I love my father more than him. So sure, go ahead they can marry each other.

Pero sana naman, sana naman hindi matuloy iyon. Kase paano ako? Paano kami? May kami ba? Damn! I might get hurt! Hindi ata maganda na ma-attached ako ng sobra kay Davin. I must protect my heart.

If I'll be hurt, it would be my fault. If I let him enter my life, it would be my fault. I should stop what ever is happening with the two of us. I cannot risk my self. I cannot risk my heart.
