Chapter 21: Deal with the Tycoon
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Is that the reason why you saved me last night?” Zygo gently moved his head while staring directly into my eyes. “Why do you guys always treat me like a tool to fulfill your own tasks,” I complained.
“What do you mean. Who used you?” Zygo asked and quickly turned his body in my direction. I ignored him and acted like he didn’t exist.
That black tag soldier spared me out of a circumstance and made me a tool for his task, and it fizzled. Now, this tycoon also saved me, but in return, I need to be his partner if he mentioned it. Not just any partnership; I need to pretend as his lady in front of his entire clan.
Indeed even though I haven’t agreed, however, I as of now know where this going. I feel like things are coming back, and it was telling me that I can’t avoid them from happening.
I encountered someone who reminds me of the bitter

“Oh my God! You came, Zygo, my grandson!” a man in his late seventy’s wearing a black tuxedo greeted Zygo with a hug as we took our first step inside the vast mansion. I was stunned. I thought this man I was with was a self-made billionaire, as stated in the article that I had read a couple of weeks ago. Wait, how can he become self-made if he comes from a family full of entrepreneurs? I forgot that the internet consists of half-lies and truth. I stared at Zygo’s face. I don’t know what accurate word can describe his expression, but I sensed displeasure while his grandfather hugged him. It was a cue that both of them aren’t close to each other. Anyways, I also don’t know what kind of event is happening in this household. This tycoon who asked for assistance did not mention it. I looked back to the front. After Zygo and his grandfather were done w

“Lover?” the woman looked at me with disbelief as she took a glance at Zygo, “I’m his fiance,” she said and anchored her arms to the man beside her, looking for support. I tried to hide my expression. My left brow raised as I stared at the woman. She was like a leech in the intensity of her hands attached to Zygo. “Fiance? He never told me that he was engaged to someone. We are dating, right, darling?” I muttered and brought my eyes to Zygo, who was staring at me. His lips suddenly formed a grin. “Is that true, Zygo?” the woman asked him as he nodded. Zygo quickly removed the woman’s hands, approached me, and put his arms around my waist, causing me to flinch. “Yes, Zanya,” Zygo said without any affection. The woman’s lips were left in awe as she stared at us. “Tell me that you are bluffing.” “I’m not, Zanya.”

“Are you really okay?” I asked Zygo after he calmed down. The opening speech was done by his grandfather, and with that time, Zygo remained silent. I was shocked. He was the most extraordinary billionaire of Tranquil, but he looks like he did not exist in this home.“Don’t worry about me; I’m fine,” Zygo muttered and then took a glance at me. I just nodded and let out a deep sigh.The people present in this event started eating as we remained standing, looking at them. I looked at the end where Zygo’s grandfather was standing with other older men. It’s his family’s business partners.The old man suddenly takes a look in our direction. I raised my left brow when I met his eyes. He stared for a second and shrugged, then brought his eyes back to the men.“I failed to cancel the engagement,” Zygo mumbled.&

“Let her hand go. You are hurting her.” Zygo commanded, but Alchy just stared at him.“It goes the same with you, too,” Alchy muttered. I felt like being sandwiched between these two men. I let out a deep sigh and forcefully withdrew my hands from them.“Do you know this guy?” Zygo asked, then suddenly pulled me behind him. I don’t know if I’m going to answer Zygo that I know this person in front of us or pretend not.“Shantal. What are you doing here?” Alchy asked, looking at me directly. He never bothers to take a glance at Zygo.Zygo suddenly turned his face on me. “Shantal?” he asked me with knitted brows, “When did you become Shant--?” I quickly covered Zygo’s mouth and glared at him, causing his forehead to frown.We stared at each other for a second before Zygo got w

“Where are you guys taking us?!” I shouted when the men wearing red masks forced us into their car. They did not reply and quickly pushed me inside the van.I hit the chair savagely that made my head spin for a little.“What the hell! Pay attention to your actions towards her. You assholes even dare to point a gun at her!” I heard Zygo holler. He was held by the two men, then struggled and broke free from their grip. He then quickly drew closer inside the van.I was stunned when he suddenly cupped my cheeks. Even the van was dim, I could feel that Zygo was stressing himself over me.“Are you okay?” he asked with a panting voice. I nodded as Zygo removed his hands on my cheeks.“I’m fine,” I said and stared into his brown eyes. “Who are they?” I asked, but he just stared at me with a concerne

“Would you like to take a bath first?” Alchy asked. He was sitting at the edge of the bed,while Zygo was lying on the couch with a towel on his eyes.I nodded and immediately took my steps inside the bathroom. While cleaning myself, my mind was restless. Ever since I met those two men, I noticed that it seemed like these circumstances had happened one after the other.I have a bizarre feeling about the two of them. These two men appear to be so much more than being a City’s billionaire and a soldier.It was challenging to clarify, but there seems to be a covered-up personality between Zygo and Alchy. They do not know each other, but my guts told me they can’t get along because of something.Moreover, I have been involved in the personal matters of those two men that it’s impossible to get out. I let out a deep sigh and quickly finish

“Let’s have lunch here,” Alchy muttered when we entered the tiny eatery, it was a bit distant from where we rested the car since we still had to enter a back street before getting here.“You sure know a lot of things.” Zygo complimented after sitting down. There’s a round table in front of us that is only good for three people.“As a soldier, yes,” Alchy answered boldly.“Oh, you are a soldier?” after Zygo said those words, it became silence between him and Alchy. I was sitting between them, and they were staring at each other with intense gazes.“That’s enough. We are here to eat. It’s as if you’re going to slaughter each other with your intense gaze.” I said as I called the waiter who had just finished talking to another customer.Both of them remained silent, “Do y

“Breathe,” Alchy said after we sat behind a broken car. All of us were gasping to breathe and hardly able to speak.“You should tell yourself too,” I muttered and closed my eyes to calm myself. I looked at Zygo, and he was also panting.“Did we stray them from us?” Zygo asked.“I think so,” I answered between my heavy breathing.It was a moment of silence between the three of us when we suddenly heard footsteps behind the car.“Shit.” Alchy silently hissed after he took a peek behind, “It’s them.” my heart skipped a beat. We just rest for a minute, and now, we need to run again.“We should fight,” Zygo said and was about to go out from hiding, but I immediately refrained him.“There’s a lot of them.

A little girl ran in my direction and hugged my waist when she reached me. “I miss you!” she said while giggling.It was Tanya, Tara’s daughter.I let out a deep sigh and then removed the gloves. “What are you doing here, little one?” I asked as I lowered down my body to level her height. “Mimi is doing dirty work; wouldn’t you mind if you caught that dirt?” she immediately shrugged.“No! I hate dirty, but if I can’t hug you because of that, then I don’t mind getting myself a speck of dirt.” she hissed. How cute! She’s too young to know these kinds of things. I just laughed and then carried her in my arms as I stood.“Just kid

“Good morning, Mom and Aki.” I greeted them when they woke up since I got up first.“Good morning, Miss,” Aki replied while rubbing her eyes.“Good morning too, sweetheart.” my mother mumbled and immediately took herself out of bed. I smiled when she walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the cheeks. “Did you sleep well?” I nodded then she glanced at Aki. “How about you, Aki?”“Yes, Mrs. Alejandro. I had a good sleep. Thank you for asking.” Aki said, then smiled. I was about to speak when someone suddenly knocked on the door.“Breakfast is ready.” I heard Jay say behind the door. “Just come downstairs.” after he said those words, we heard footsteps walking away from our room. I immediately looked at my wristwatch, and it was already eight in the morning.

“How have you been?” my mother asked Dielo while we were sitting in front of the table, having dinner. “You did not even think about visiting me,” she added, and I could feel the sadness in her voice. I don’t know, but I think they are close to each other in the past and even now.“I’m sorry for that, Andrea. I couldn’t go back to the City because of what happened six years ago. I need to recover from the bomb because I got traumatized when Galeo died in front of me. The explosion was too loud and made me lose my mind for a while. I just got myself back, and the first thing I did was go back to the City and then meet Gandhara. I want to see you, but I do not know where is your home.” after Uncle Dielo’s long litany, he eats while staring directly into my mother’s eyes.The five of us remained silent while eating.

“Good morning, Mom and Aki.” I greeted my mother, who had just arrived in the living room with Aki. I immediately glanced at Jay, “Get the things to the car, Jay.” I said, and he nodded, then started taking the things out. “How’s your sleep, mom?” I asked as I brought my eyes back to my mother.She sat on the sofa. “I slept well, sweetheart. Thinking about today excites me, so I tried my best to have a good rest so that I won’t be exhausted on the trip.” my mother sat on the sofa with a smile on her face. She’s been waiting for the day to start. I smiled at her because I feel the same way too.When Jay finished carrying the things to the car, my mother instructed the maids again. After that, we immediately take ourselves outside. “Where’s Aki?” my mother said as Jay started the engine.“Oh, right,” Jay said.
Captain Alejandro’s Daughter Chapter 73: Quality Time
I was currently packing my things because tomorrow is when we will travel out of the City. Alchy, Zygo, Jay, and Aki will also be with us. We plan to stay there for a week, and the place that we will be waiting for is already settled by my father’s former colleague.I can’t help being excited just by thinking that we will visit my father’s rest place; my heart is already hyperventilating. I let out a deep sigh and continued packing my things.“Maybe, this stuffs are enough for a week,” I mumbled to myself after a couple of minutes of packing my things. I let out a deep sigh and turned my gaze to the side when I heard an engine. Because of curiosity, I stood up from sitting on the bed and immediately took myself to the terrace.I quickly peeked outside and saw a black Lamborghini who had just parked in front of our house. I was confused for a couple of seconds, thinking who might

“Where have you been?” I immediately asked Zygo after getting ourselves to his hotel’s dining area. We are currently at his private part of the area, facing each other while separated with a rounded marble table.Zygo stared at me with a smile forming on his lips. By his reaction, I already knew what was on his mind at this instant. “Why? Did you miss me?” he asked with a grin on his face. I was right, and he never changed.I just raised my left brow. I was about to speak out the words that I used to do, but something was playing inside my mind. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with it since we are already friends.I flashed a smirk. “Am I not allowed to miss you?” I almost burst into laughter when I saw how his expression changed. I know that he has feelings for me, but honestly, I can’t pay it back to him on how he looked at me. “Is my words enough to f

It’s been three months since everything was at peace. It’s also been that long since I last saw Zygo. I don’t know where he is or what he is doing right now. We exchanged our contact numbers, but I did not get a message coming from him until now. The truth is, is he okay?I shrugged and let out a deep sigh as I stared in front of me. “What am I even doing here?” I mumbled to myself. I was currently standing in front of the ZF Hotel. The place where Zygo and I first met.I don’t know what’s going on with me, but I really want to see that person. Maybe, I got so close to them, and I couldn’t admit it to myself before. I let out another deep sigh and stared at the entrance of the hotel for a couple of seconds before I took myself inside.When I entered, there were no other people except those in the reception area. I walked quickly over there.

“Young Miss, the person you have been waiting for is already here.” one of the maids said. I turned my eyes on her and stopped from slicing the cake. “He was waiting in the living room.” the maid added. I nodded at her.“Sure. Thank you so much.” after I said those words, the maid left immediately. I finished slicing the cake and placed it on the plate. I let out a deep sigh and took myself out of the kitchen.I thought of giving this recorder yesterday to Alchy, but I remembered that he was not in the City. When I sent him a message, he immediately told me that he would be at Tranquil today.We exchanged contact information the last time. I didn’t know that I would open it to Alchy and Zygo since I thought the gang would be the last to enter my list of friends.

“Here’s the key to your father’s office, Miss. We maintained cleaning it without moving or touching any of the things.” I nodded. “I’ll leave you here first, Miss.

I would have liked to go here the next day since I got out of the hospital, but my body is not yet fully recovered to travel, so I postponed it and decided to go here today.I stand in front of the door for a couple of seconds before getting the urge to open it. When I opened the door, I was greeted by a fragrant smell. I wasted no time and quickly entered.When I entered, I suddenly stopped, and for some unknown reason, tears suddenly dripped from my eyes. I can feel my father’s presence. I know it’s been a l
