Chapter 68: Rid Of Them

[Her Pov]

"I said get rid of them! You useless garbage!" Kinuha ko ang kutsilyo tsaka ko pinutol ang kamay niya dahilan para tumalsik pa ito sa lamesa ko.

"USELESS ASSHOLES!" Napakahirap bang patayin ng magkapatid na 'yon?!

"NOW GET YOUR HAND AND LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!" Pabagsak akong umupo at napasandal sa sobrang pagkainis. They're moving... If something happens to her... I can't take my plan!

What makes it so hard to kill those siblings?!

"Calm down." HOW CAN I FUCKING CALM DOWN IF THEY'RE MOVING?!

If they want to target someone... THEN NOT MY PAWN! My JOB... IS TO MAKE HER SUFFER AND THEN KILL HER!

"Easy for you to say." Ni hindi ka man lang kumikilos para tulungan ako. Are you still my man?! Tsk.

"Let them face their own deaths okay? You already know his status. Hindi niya papabayaang mamatay ang babae niya." But at some point... He's correct. That man... Is no ordinary. Based on my research... He's some part of a rebelled group.

If the media knows about this... I wonder what will happen to your company... Karespe-respeto parin ba Laxamana?

"You should take this little by little. I guess you should cool off. We'll be taking our plan if everything is all right. We'll wait for the exact moment to attack." But seeing her happy makes me want to ruin her! That bitch Ashley isn't making any move!

"And if you're thinking about Ashley... She have a plan." Napakunot ang noo ko. Bakit hindi niya sinasabi sakin ang ipaplano niya? How can I success if she keeps it to herself? Hindi naman kaya...

"What's her plan?" Sambit ko habang kumuha ng tissue para punasan ang kamay kong natalsikan ng mabahong dugo.

"Just wait and see." Siguraduhin niya lang na magiging masaya ako sa gagawin niya... If not, she'll be also beheaded.

"Miss." Napatingin ako sa secretary na ngayon ay ibinigay ang isang folder sakin. Nang buklatin ko ito ay mas lalo akong natawa.

Look what I found...

It's her precious memories of her sweet little brother... She have no idea that our family is the reason behind the explosion in that cruise.

But who cares? That kid is dead anyway... Kahit na alam niya na kung sino kami... Hindi niya na kayang sabihin 'yon sa buong angkan niya.

But what excites me the most is that tree in the North District School. If I sent someone on that cheap school... And burn that tree... What'll be your expression?

AIRISH LAXAMANA.

"So it's that tree." Napatingin ako sa kanya. Don't tell me...

"Do you know this place?" Dahil parang pamilyar din ang lugar na ito sakin. It feels like one of my relatives is attending this Academy...

"I remember the image not the place." What a useless garbage. Bakit nga ba ako pumayag na maging boyfriend ang nilalang na ito? Is it because of his looks? Or his hatred for Laxamana Household?

"Then search it." Maotoridad kong utos. "And You." Napatingin sakin ang sekretarya ko na nakatingin sa dugong nakakalat sa lamesa ko. Ramdam kong natatakot siya pero napangisi lang ako. Siguro naman wala silang balak na traydurin ako. Dahil kung hindi... Kamatayan ang aabutin nila.

"Clean this mess within 5 minutes." My meeting on that Digital Kid gives me a bad feeling... Better if I replace someone to take my place on negotiating.

"Are you scared of that kid?" Who knows? I can't tell whether he's an ally or an enemy.

"We shouldn't let our guard off." He maybe someone that cares for her...

"Then I'll call our people." Umalis siya pagkatapos kong sabihin na kailangan namin ng papalit para sa meeting.

That Kid... If he tries to reject me... Then I have no choice but to make him as my enemy.

But for now... I won't reveal any matters and I'll just ask for his help. That kid will be the key to restore my company... So if I can't have him... Then nobody can have him.

"DAD NO!" Unti-unti akong nanlulumo dahil sa nakikita ko ngayon. It's a live video of my dad being punished by some random guys. At talagang pinapakita pa nila ito sakin. My sister is still working on how to save our company from this mess. Dahil sa letcheng Laxamana na 'yon... Unti-unti nang bumababa ang shares namin. Someone is trying to break our bank accounts... And if they completely break our B.A then our company will fall...

AND THAT BITCH IS THE REASON BEHIND ON ALL OF THIS!

Dapat pala ay pinatay ko nalang siya dati... Be thankful that I didn't kill you back then... I show you some mercy but where's your gratitude?!

YOU FUCKING BITCH... BAKIT LAHAT NALANG NG SA AMIN AY SA 'YO NAPUPUNTA?! THE WEALTH... POPULARITY... AND LOVE!

You can just behave yourself but it seems like you're taking revenge!

I won't forgive you FUCKING BITCH!

YOU HAVE TO DIE!

"Your father will die if you don't save him." Isang malalim na boses ang nakapagpataas ng balahibo ko. Who is this person? Why does his voice sounds familiar... Is it a he? Or a she?

"What do you want from us?! DID SHE HIRE YOU?! DID THAT BITCH AIRISH LAXAMANA HIRED YOU?!" If I can get him to my side... We can take down that bitch.

"What a bashful mouth you have." I heard this voice before...

"I can triple the money." I don't care how much will it cost... I don't want to lose my dad...

"But it doesn't work that way sweetie." Napangisi naman ako.

"Why you're wearing a hood? Are you scared that I might see your face?" The only way to make him reveal himself is to pissed him.

"You didn't deserve to see it." Something is not right in here... That voice resemble of someone...

"THEN TELL ME WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!" Ang biglaan niyang pagtawa ay nakapagpalaki ng mata ko. He remove his hood but I can't see his face. It was covered by the dim light.

"I want every soul. I wonder if you can give me yours." Bumukas ang ilaw pero nakabalik na ang hood niya. That person just grins on me.

"W-what do you mean?" My voice began to tremble for a reason. This person is too powerful...

"I want your soul." Lumapit siya sa camera bago nagsalita.

"You know what I mean." Natatawa niyang sambit dahilan para manghina ako. That person wants my soul...

Does it mean that...

I'm gonna get killed?

"You have 2 days Helvetica. It's either save him and BE KILLED or WE'LL KILL HIM and we'll hunt you." How can I possibly pick one?! I WILL BE A DEAD MEAT IN EITHER WAY!

"YOU SON OF FUCKING BITCH!" I cursed while biting my lips. I'm not used at threats... Usually, I'm the one who give threats to people... But why do I have this crazy feeling that I will die soon?

"Sometimes, I need a stronger word THAN FUCK. My life is always a messy one. So I don't have a choice but to get rid of them." But this is the first time that we see them!

"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! RELEASE MY DAD AT ONCE OR ELSE YOU'LL REGRET THIS!" Ang kasama niya naman niya ang tumawa bago tumayo. Umatras ang kaninang tao at siya naman ang pumalit.

"Give your soul or YOUR FATHER'S soul. It's up to you Ms. Wang." But in either way... Mamatay ako...

"You're not a threat TO ME. Please watch your words on the future. You have 2 days and that's final." Inis kong sinara ang cellphone ko. Their voice is so fucking familiar...

[Axis Villanueva]

"Show your gratitude." Malamig kong sambit. I can't believe that Airish is sparing this old man's life. She used to show no mercy...

But when Kaijin came... Those bloody scents were vanishing. I want to take one soul.

This is my peaceful attitude so don't dare to make me repeat that words. Pero imbes na magpasalamat ay dumura pa talaga siya.

"You don't know me yet." Sino bang may gusto na makilala ka?

"There's no need to respect an asshole old friggin man like you." Daring to pick on Laxamana is like daring to pick the Astrania, Lowell, Hendral, Del Mundo, and Villanueva Family. And honestly, you don't want to pick with me.

"DEMONS!" My eyes widened when Airish suddenly grab his neck. Ramdam ko ang sakit dahil sa pagpiglas ng katawan niya.

Kahit saang anggulo ko tignan... She's still merciful. Kung dati ay isang salita pa ay papatayin niya na... Ngayon... Sakal lang ang inaabot nila.

"In every evil mask... There was once AN INNOCENT PERSON WHICH CAN SMILE ON THE PAST." Nagbago siya dahil sa bagay na 'yon. I already heard about the story. But I still like her "NO MERCY" attitude. It suites her the best.

Seeing her covered in a red blood makes me feel at ease. Dahil 'yon ang nagpapakita na wala na siyang kinakatakutan. Na malakas na siya at kaya niya nang harapin ang lahat.

Don't blame me but I like the old her. The psychotic Aiden.

If Kaijin didn't show up... Siguro patay na lahat ng kaaway niya ngayon and she can live a peaceful life. But I guess she have plans. I can't just stand here without doing anything so as a gift I need to prove my loyalty.

"You're wasting your saliva. I'll take care of him." I don't want you to covered in humiliation and embarrassment... This time... I'll help you get your revenge.

"Then, I'll leave him to your care." Malamig niyang tugon tsaka umalis.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at tinipa ang numero ni Dylan. Agad naman niya itong sinagot.

"What is it?" Nilabas ko ang kutsilyo bago nilaro sa kamay ko.

"Bought all the lands of Wangs both South and East District." Napatingin ako kay tanda na ngayon ay nanlalaki ang mata. This is what you get from hurting innocent people.

"Why so sudden?" Halatang inaantok pa ang lalaking ito.

"Want to help or not?" Dinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya.

"Fine. But you have to collaborate with me." Nabagot naman ako sa sinambit niya.

"Collaborate with someone else. Our family's loyalty to Laxamana will never change." I'll remain fighting until this day ends.

"Sino namang kukunin ko? You're suitable for this! You need my help so you have to do something for me!" Hindi ba niya alam na hindi para sakin ito?! IT'S FOR AIRISH!

"Then, I'll tell her to never speak with you." Napatigil naman siya. Ramdam ko iyon dahil wala nang sumasagot sa telepono.

Pero maya-maya pa...

"I'll speak to Caden. You have my words. Be careful. You must protect her while I'm not in there." If I could just take her away from this mess...

Don't misunderstand. I treat her as my sister. I'm not into her. But I'm willing to replace Anzu.

"Don't need to say it." Sabay patay ko ng tawag. Napatingin ako sa matandang kinakabahan. Siguro dahil 'yon sa kutsilyo kong hawak.

Sino bang may sabing papatayin ko siya ngayon? I should wait for a couple of days. Tutal, kahit naman na dumating ang anak niya... Masasaksihan ka niya kung paano mamatay.

It was all planned by her. It's too harsh for others but for me... Giving someone time to live a little longer is still merciful.

[Xerxes Hendral]

"Send more people to protect Master Aiden. Don't let anyone hurt her and don't ever come back if she have a single scratch." Your his beloved woman... How can I not watch you?

"Are you doing this because of him?" Siguro nga ay naging makasarili ako noong kami pa ni Kaijin. I want to apologize but it's a hard thing to do. Lalo na't baka mapatay niya ako pag nakita niya ako.

Mas magandang protektahan nalang ang pinoprotektahan niya.

"This is the only way to repay his efforts." Right, I'm a man now. I decided to change myself for good. Dahil lahat ng pagkakamali ko ay ayoko nang maulit sa ibang tao.

"Then, do you think that it's starting?" Who knows? Enemies are circling our life anyway.

Hinalikan ko siya sa noo na ikinangiti niya. "What if he saw you?" Then I guess he'll pretend that he doesn't knows me.

"Bakit ako matatakot kung nandiyan ka? It's not like he'll bite me." We're both grown-up. We have our own path to walk.

Mabuti nalang at nakilala niya si Master Aiden. Sigurado akong magiging ayos din ang lahat...

Pero, isa sa mga pinoproblema ko ay ang isang pamilyang nagpadala ng tauhan sa kasal ko. No one will stay quiet if someone tries to sabotage them on their wedding.

"Do you think that this war is just a start?" Indeed. It's just a start. Because there are 3 families... Whose willing to pay everything just to get rid of Laxamana Company.
