♥♡ CHAPTER 74.5 ♡♥

♡ Fortune's POV ♡

...FLASHBACK...

"Isn't this the right medicine for Dean Carson? To prevent his migraine?" nagtatakang tanong ni Savannah, "You're right and that's the last one...I need you to quickly get rid of it." she was completely in shocked when she heard that, "What?!"

"You like him, don't you?"

"And so?" sarkastikong sagot nito na ikinangiti ko naman ng masama.

"Ayaw mo bang makuha siya?" alam kong sa bawat salitang bibitawan ko, unti-unti siyang mahuhulog sa mga patibong ko, she is so desperate para makuha si Dean, "As if I could do that, miss president. We both know that it won't ever happen."

"And what makes you think that it won't happen when there's only one way to make it all happen?" pabalik na tanong ko kaya sandali siyang natigilan, I know she would be shocked to hear all of this coming from me, "W-what exactly are you planning?"

May ipinatong akong maliit na bote sa lamesa kaya napatingin siya doon. It was a black bottle. Mas maliit ito kumpara sa boteng hawak niya at nanlaki na lang ang mga mata nito nang unti-unti ko 'yong ilapit sa kanya. She exactly knew what was inside that bottle, "This is your only chance, Savannah. Use this to make him believe everything that you will say so that we could be able to control him." I said. Alam kong sa paraang ito, hindi siya tatanggi dahil ito ang pinakainaasam-asam niya noon pa man.

"Tell me what's the plan, miss president?" tanong nito kaya mas masama akong ngumiti, "We're going to deceive everyone and make him our weapon."

"Fine. I'll do as you say." sagot niya na masama rin akong nginitian.

"Huwag mo 'kong biguin, Savannah. I don't like failures." and so, I won't fail you. The bottles I gave her were both fake. Wala sa dalawa ang tuluyang makakalason sa isip ni Dean but he will be pretending in order to make it all true.

Tumayo siya at ipinatong ang dalawang kamay sa lamesa upang lapitan ako, "I could only say na pinili mo ang tamang tao para sa mga plano mo, miss president." saad nito. Maayos siyang tumayo at kinuha ang itim na bote habang nakatingin pa rin sa akin. She was holding two bottles, one that has to be destroyed and one that is useful. Tinalikuran na niya ako kaya bumukas muli ang pintuan ng secret room na mabilis ring nagsara nang makalabas siya.

AFTER THREE DAYS...

I took a quick glance at the door behind me nang marinig ko namang bumukas ito na mabilis ring nagsara at bumungad si Phoenix na umupo sa harapan ko, "So how's the plan going, miss president?" tanong niya.

"Katulad ng nasa plano, kumagat siya sa pain natin at paniwalang-paniwala siya na totoo ang lahat ng sinabi ko." muli akong napangiti ng masama at sumandal sa kinauupuan ko, "Ang akala niya napapaikot niya tayo sa mga palad niya...pero ang hindi niya alam siya ang pinapaikot natin sa mga kamay natin."

"You're so clever, Fortune...kaya nga hindi ako nagdalawang-isip na kumampi sa'yo. Besides, I really want to help kahit ito man lang ang magawa kong tama sa buhay ko." pahayag niya, "I never thought that you would agree with my plan too, Phoenix. But thanks for trusting me." I didn't really expect na biglang magbabago si Phoenix. Hindi man naging maganda ang tingin sa kanya ng iba dahil sa masamang ugali niya noon ngunit kinaya niyang magbago.

"By the way, wala ka ba talagang balak na sabihin kay Dean na lalasunin ni Savannah si Syden?"

Muli kaming nagkausap ni Savannah at kagaya ng inaasahan ko, she told me everything that she would be going to deceive Bliss Syden. Nabanggit ko na rin kay Finn ang tungkol dito right after she told me about it kaya siguradong mag-aalala siya sa magiging lagay ni Syden.

"Now is not the right time. Siguradong bago pa man magawa ni Savannah ang plano niya, papatayin na siya ni Dean and we can't let that happen or else the plan will be ruined. Everything must be settled first bago niya patayin si Savannah. We need her to tell Dean about the other secret room first bago natin siya aatakihin and as promised, hindi ko naman hahayaang lasunin ni Savannah si Syden kung alam kong wala namang gamot para doon."

"What do you mean?"

"Savannah took that poison she made once as she wanted to commit suicide that time, but later she realized that the life of hers, even in darkest and miserable times, she still needs to continue living...kaya ininom niya ang gamot na ginawa ko against that poison of hers. Life must not be taken away so easily as others are fighting for it, Phoenix." bakit ba napakadali para sa iba na magpakamatay when in fact many people are fighting for it? Walang mahinang tao sa marunong lumaban. I couldn't stop myself from saying such things dahil ganon ang nararamdaman ko.

"I see...but do you think miss president...that she still deserves to live?"

"We can't stop her and this is the only thing that we can do...to take away one's life in order to save lives." napatango na lang siya at napayuko, "I'll give Bliss Syden the medicine when she really needs it. Just before Dean will going to kill Savannah, doon natin sasabihin ang totoo just to make sure na talagang mapapatay na niya si Savannah. His madness will going to drive him crazy at siguradong hindi na niya hahayaang makatakas pa si Savannah dahil sa galit nito."

"So....hindi mamamatay si Syden sa lason?"

"Of course she's going to die but I won't let it happen. Nangako tayo kay Dean na kapalit nang pagtulong niya sa plano natin, we have to make sure that nothing will happen to her." I stopped for a moment nang bigla akong may maalala, "By the way, how about Sean and Felicity?" just before Sean Raven entered Death building, we left a note for Felicity saying that if she really wants to find her brother, kailangan niyang sumama kay Sean Raven, and good to know na naniwala naman siya sa sulat na ipinadala namin. We just want to make sure na safe siyang makakapunta dito kasama si Raven.

"Don't worry, miss president. I'm sure Felicity received the note right now at sigurado akong magiging magkaibigan rin ang dalawa." right after he said that, napatango na lang ako.
