Grant's Revenge

Chapter 35

Grant

"What!? You really married a Mercedes blood? Have you gone mad?"

Kalmanteng tiningnan ko lang si Uncle Tops habang nakaupo ako sa couch dito sa library.

He just came this morning after namin magbreakfast. He had heard the local news na ikinasal na nga daw ako kay Jen. Sa isang Mercedes na itinuturing ko pa naman na kaaway. So he flew using his private plane to come here.

This is also the first time na nakita ito ng buong grupo.

"I did. And I am happy marrying Jen. So yeah, I might gone mad like my mother who falls in love and loses her mind." Seryosong sagot ko.

"That's not the point, Grant. You topped the training because you had never shown any emotion. You're the perfect manipulator. So what now!?" Gilalas na komento nito na hindi makapaniwala na nagpadala ako sa emosyon ko. "You can get any woman you want on your bed without marrying them!"

Marahil hindi naiintindihan ni Uncle Tops. He is a non-believer of the sanctity of marriage himself. Kaya hirap itong tanggapin na nagpatali ako.

"I love her, Uncle."

"Love?!" He exclaimed. "If you really love her, you will just let her go and find someone else! Sa ginawa mo dinamay mo lang sya sa gulo. You have lots of enemies, Grant. They won't stop until they see your cold lifeless body floating on the river! Now you are telling them your weakness. Make sure na kaya mong protektahan yang babaeng yan."

Napapikit na lang ako na sumandal sa headrest ng sofa.

Alam ko naman ang consequences ng ginagawa ko. But I can't stop thinking how it feels to be married with her. Nagparaya na ako ng anim na taon. But Den's death only proved me that Jen will never belong to someone else. She belongs to me. Fate will always find way to pull us together. So if I have to fight, we can win it over. Together.

"Uncle.." Napabuntong-hininga ako. Nandito na. Wala na kaming magagawa. "I'm sorry."

"Have you told her about your identity?" Mababa na yung boses ni Uncle Tops.

Sinalubong ko yung tingin nito bago marahang umiling. I don't think I'll ever have the courage to tell Jen what I've been doing for the past years.

For the past years, I have been working for him as an undercover spy. In return, I am earning my keeps and had satisfy my bloodlust. Dahil din doon kaya nagawa kong mahanap lahat ng kailangan kong hanapin na may kinalaman sa pagkamatay ni Mommy.

That's why I am also not afraid to do anything against the legal laws. I know that Uncle Tops can make my records clean in an instant. He works for the government state security and I have signed a document that I am under his. All accesses na kailangan ko, he is giving it to me. Doxing is easy if you have connections and skills. Lalo na kung may kapangyarihan at pera ka. Nothing is impossible.

I've undergone a training, physical and mental. Sa loob ng training na iyon ay sinanay ako kung paano bumasa ng tao. You need to know what they crave for, what's their weakness. You have to think that all person is a puzzle that's looking for a missing piece, be that missing piece and they will surely give you what you need, what you want. Sex is just a common thing. Make the target crave for you, fall for you. All of them just need one thing, so you have to be that one thing they crave the most. You must inure yourself to what you find repellant. Find beauty in the human delusion. That the pleasure of the flesh will make them whole again.

Manipulation is something I have mastered in the training. Take control, lead the command. Seduction is an art that proud people cannot master. Doon ko lang naintindihan yung sinasabi sakin noon ni Uncle Tops, morals are something you don't get while being raised. It's something you build yourself in the process of reaching your goals. It's on the things that you are willing to sacrifice to get what you want.
