58.

"Why am I here?!" Aleezah suddenly shouted. "Ang asawa ko, nasaan?! Gusto kong makita!"

"Bronze, please let us go, I need to see my son," I told him in the most calmest yet begging voice I have.

"Ang dami niyo naman gustong makita," he laughed devilishly and looked at his men. "Ilabas niyo na nga ang hanap ng dalawang 'to!"

Three went out of the room and immediately came back, I wanted to cover my mouth with my hand after two of the men threw Arlszent on the floor, all beaten up, but I couldn't because I'm tied together with Aleezah.

"Arlszent! Arlszent, wake up!" Aleezah shouted and cried after seeing her husband.

"Ayon naman ang isa mo pang hanap," itinuro ni Bronze ang isang babagong pasok na lalaki bitbit ang isang bata na ngayon ay nakatali ang buong katawan at may bombang nakakabit sa harapan.

"Mommy!" he cried out. "Mommy, help me! Mommy!"

Tears started rolling down my cheeks as I looked at Bronze who has his eyes on me with a smirk. "Don't involve him in this, please..." I begged.

He cackled. "Why not? Masaya kapag kumpleto kayo sa impyerno, mga tangina kayo!"

He walked towards me and bent down to meet my eyes. His hand caught my jaw and I closed my eyes out of the pain I felt when he squeezed it tightly.

"Pinakulong niyo ako gamit ang yaman niyo, nasira ang buhay ko dahil sa inyo niyang hudas mong kapatid!" Binitawan niya ang panga ko at kasabay noon ay isang malakas na sampal ang aking natamo.

Dumiretso siya kung saan nakahandusay si Arlszent at sinipa ito sa tagiliran. "Akala ko ba malakas ka?! Gumising ka diyan, kingina kung ayaw mong unahin ko ang asawa mo sa pagpapapunta sa kabilang buhay!"

"Tama na! Please stop hurting him!" Aleezah cried aloud when Bronze kicked Arlszent another time, making him spit out some blood. But Arlszent tried his best to still stand up, making me cry more because of seeing his condition.

"Fucking kill me now, Lirezas. Just not my sister, nephew, and most importantly, my wife..." nanghihina nitong pahayag.

"Sweet," Bronze remarked. "Nakakarume."

"Hindi ka na talaga nadadala sa mga kahayupan mo?!" a voice thundered inside the room.

"Late ka na naman, X," Bronze laughed. "Ayos na ba ang ospital mo ngayon?"

"Bring my hospital down and take all my riches, just don't hurt my family, fucking asshole!" he said in anger.

"Tangina hindi ko kailangan ng pera dahil iyan ang ginamit niyo para sirain ang buhay ko!"

"Hindi masisira ang buhay mo kung hindi rin dahil sa sarili mong katarantaduhan, Lirezas!" Xerxes pulled out his gun and pointed it at Bronze. "Pakawalan mo ang lahat kung ayaw mong ako ang tumapos sa buhay mo."

"Go pull the trigger, Gorostiza. I have this," Bronze flashed an evil smirk and raised a small remote. "You shot me, I click the button. Sabay na kami ng anak mo lilisan ng mundo."
