Chasing The Universe [Cosmos Series#1]

Kabanata 3

"Who sent you to kill Night?" I asked as I pointed my gun on the sniper.

I'm in our headquarters with Creed and this sniper. This is our torture room and there's no glimpse of light from every corner of the room. It was also soundproofed. There was a table full of things that are used to torture someone. In the middle of the room, there's an electric chair at doon nakaupo ang lalaki. He seems weak at ilang sandali nalang ay mamamatay na ngunit ayaw pang aminin kung saang mafia siya kabilang.

"Sinabi ko na! Devaughne nga!" Their fucking setting up the Devaughne and Cosmos.

"Hindi magpapadala ng isang tulad mo ang Devaughne." I rolled my eyes. Pinipilit niya na Devaughne ang nagpadala sa kanya. Only a fool would believe him. Gusto lang nila na mag away ang Cosmos at Devaughne.

"Wala na akong pakealam kung ayaw mong maniwala! Ikaw sino ka? Bakit ka nandito diba ikaw yung CEO ng Lozano?" Galit na galit na sabi nito. So he knew that I am the CEO of Lozano Empire? Sarkastiko akong napatawa sa sarili. I'm that famous huh?

"You're asking kung sino ako? Well, I am the Universe." I muttered. Creed's silently eyeing me, observing what I'm doing.

He gasps. "Ikaw? Bakit mo sinasabi sakin na ikaw! Matagal ka ng hinahanap ng Amherst!" He was trembling as he speak like he already knew why I was telling him that I am the Universe.

Napangisi ako sa naging sagot niya. Lumabas din ang totoo, tama ako na ang Amherst nga ang may planong pumatay kay Creed. I don't know why Amherst remained on the third spot of the mafia chart 'cause they're all dumb even their boss, Armando Amherst.

"Because you'll never get out of this room alive." I smirked. I can see the evidence of fear from his eyes and his trembling lips every time he speak.

"Goodbye, asshole may you rot in hell," I said as I pulled the trigger directly on his head. Blood scattered on the room. Medyo natalsikan pa ang aking kamay. Iniabot ko ang baril kay Creed at tinanggap naman niya iyon.

"I'll go ahead, may meeting pa 'ko," I uttered as I showered alcohol all over my hands.

He nodded. "I'll ask someone to clean this mess." Nilagpasan ko na siya at umalis.

There was a deafening silence when I enter the conference room. Are they intimidated because of my presence?

Everyone in the room rose up to greet me. I walked towards my Mom and kissed her cheek.

"Start the presentation," I said as I sat on the seat assigned for the CEO. Beside me is my Mommy Miranda, she's the chairman at bakante naman ang sa kabila. I wonder why there is a vacant seat. Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang mga naroon. Kumpleto ang board members, naroon na rin ang representative ng DEAS Inc. para magpresent. May isa ring taga Fabian para alamin ang magiging resulta ng botohan mamaya.

The representative of DEAS Inc. continued presenting their proposal.

Devaughne Engineering ang Architectural Services, thats what is written on the first page of their proposal.

The door of the conference room opened at napako ang tingin ko sa pumasok roon. "My apologies for being late." I frowned. Vynz Devaughne together with his cold stares entered the room at umupo sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ko. My mom looks shocked too when he entered.

I gave him a blank stare when our eyes met. "I'm pleased to see you Mr. Devaughne but may I know why you are here. I mean, hindi pa natin sigurado kung kompanya niyo nga ang maghahandle ng project namin. Did I missed something?" Tumigil ang representative ng DEAS Inc. na nagpepresent sa harap.

"I'm sorry Ms. Lozano but I sell half of my shares to Mr. Devaughne." Mr. Ching, a board member and the CFO of the company said. Napakurap ako at nahihiwagaang napatingin sa kanya.
