Part 12- The Dark Truth

PART 12

AFTER 7 MONTHS

DAMIEN

 “I want to eat meat for dinner, please, please...”

“Fine. I’ll buy you meat but make sure you’re doing well in your class”

“Yes I am!” She responded excitedly. I am sure she is doing her best with her tutor. She is learning to speak fast, especially when it comes to her undying food cravings. I remembered the first sentence she’s able to utter. “Damien, I want to eat. Please” Yeah, my girl is always hungry but I wonder why she doesn’t even gain a pound?

“That’s my girl. Raze, I have to go to the meeting now. I’ll see you for dinner.”

“Hmm. Okay, bye.”

“See you. I miss...” I was suppose to tell her that I miss her so badly when she immediately ended the call. I heave a sigh and fixed my tie instead. I grab the folder that my executive secretary handed me. It was a plan for expanding our manufacture site in China. Mr. Schultz completely declined his partnership with my company because of the scandal involving his daughters and I. It has been the talk of media of two months and Mr. Schultz can’t handle such gossip.

He decided to retract his partnership with us and his affiliation with our company. But as the adage goes when one door closes another opens. And that is when the Japanese car manufacturers went to our aid and offered us 30 years of partnership and it depends to production if they’ll prolong that partnership.

We will expand our sites in Asia for the first three years. Also, we are eyeing to manufacture aircrafts.

The meeting that we will have for today is just for the polishing of plans. We want perfection.

For the past five months I also had been inactive to entertainment limelight. I busied myself with business and of course to Raze, it’s a joy for me to see her every day, learning and discovering new things. Geez, sometimes I feel like a father to her. I nag her, fix her hair, buy her things, sing to her before she goes to bed and read her stories.

But the desire that I have for her kept on rising each day, I just wish that the private investigator that I paid would give me good report about Raze background. I want to know who she really was, if she has family or just like me abandoned. She still hasn’t gain her memory back but it doesn’t matter. I will just fill her mind with great memories with me and me alone.

Yeah, I am also very possessive of her. I don’t want any man looking at her with malice or I will surely gouge the eyeball of any man I will catch looking her with desire.

“Mr. Alanzo, good afternoon.”

The board greeted me the moment I entered the conference room. Mr. Hanizawa was also rose to his seat and gave me a curtsy bow. I also bowed at him and shake his hands. He was such a humble man. During my tour to Japan he told me that he came from a poor family but through hard work and patience he was able to change his destiny. He is already 80 years old but still as strong as bull.

“Let’s begin.”

I gestured my hands to Victor, my vice-pres. He will be the one to conduct the presentation.

The presentation only took an hour for it was well polished.

“Mr. Alanzo, join me and my family for dinner tonight. My son great-grandson, Sanako wants to meet you. He is a 15 year old boy and he was your fan. He has seen your movie in which you are.. a superhero.”

“Oh, sure. That will be great Mr. Hanizawa.” I smiled and bow at him but at the back of my mind. I was thinking about Raze, I promised her that we will have dinner together. I have been busy these past few days, going out of town for business and we haven’t eaten together for already a week.
