He only came back to the truth when he heard that she was saying goodbye to his Auntie so he closed the door and hid suddenly because when he heard those words, he also heard the voice from whom it came. What is her manager doing in there?
When she came out, she immediately walked away. When she disappeared, Vince came out of his hiding place and entered his Aunt's office without knocking.
Ma'am Jacky looked at the person who entered because of the sound of the door opening...
...but only now was she really surprised to the person who entered. She knew that this nephew of hers often come in without knocking but now, she hopes he at least knocked. She will have a heart attack if he doesn't.
“Auntie, you look like you've seen a ghost,” her nephew said so she went back to reality.
“Huh what? I-I mean, why didn't you even knock at least?” his Auntie stammered.
“Auntie, you should get used to
After driving through the streets of Barangay Dyes, Vince parked right in front of the first place he said where they would meet.Dear Xania,I don't know what happened to you andthe reason why you can't come to our school.I hope you're safe and doing okay by now.Well whatever it is, I hope you can tell me once we meet.This coming Saturday is actually February 14, which is Valentine's day, and I am inviting you for us to have fun.Don't think of it as a date, but maybe a way for us to know each other better.Also to have fun.So how about we meet at the entrance of the amusement park about 8:30 in the morning?Vince leaned first in his black car while waiting for her.He was early because he was already there at 7:30.He's known for being impatient and he hates Filipino time, but now, he is willing to wait just for her.But while waiting, he thought of all
Chapter 22When Vince arrived right in front of the café, he came bursting to the door which surprised almost everyone inside the café.“Ma'am, show yourself!”he shouted.The customers are startled, especially the maid waitress and the butler waiters so Lizar approached him immediately.“Sir, what do you think you are doing?”asking him trying to calm him down.“I want to talk to your manager!”he replied.“Take me where she is right now!”“Sir, you're making a scene,” Iris said.“You're in the café right now.”“If you don't call her, I'll go to her!” Vince replied and walked to the entrance to Ma'am Safira's office.But Geoffrey immediately blocked the door so that he could not pass.Vince glared back at him.“Move,” he venomously stated at him but Geoffrey wasn’t sway
The next day, it’s a school day, and at first, Ma'am Jacky was worried about what might have happened to Vince after she told him everything.“Jacky, I'm sorry if I asked to talk to you this early,”Ma'am Safiragreetedher.“Ah it's okay,” Ma'am Jacky replied.”That's probably important if it's this early.”Ma'am Safira let out a sigh first.“From now on, Xania will not go to this school first.”Ma'am Jacky was surprised to hear that.“What again?”she asked because of that.“I know it's surprising but Xania decided that first because of a lot of happenings.”“What are those happenings Safira?”Ma'am Jacky asked.“Is it bullying? Depression? Mental health?”“Not like that. She has a reason she can't say,&
Chapter 23When Vince arrived in front of the café carrying his black car, he immediately saw Ma'am Safira waiting and opened with the statement,“I'll drive. You lead me the directions.”Ma'am Safira was slightly surprised and said nothing.This badboy was able to command her, but she just sighed in defeat.After they got in the black car, Ma'am Safira told him where to go, and when they arrived in front of a house near the forest, so... all this time, she was just living here?No wonder he can't find it because the place is hidden.Vince wassurprised tosee the condition of her house after he got out of the car.Seeing the patchwork of galvanized iron and wood, he couldn't help but felt pity towards her thinking how all her life, she lived in this kind of condition.But he returned tothe truth when her manager went straight to the door of her house without knocking and opened it.She
Usher was surprised by what Ma'am told him and not only him... but the three men as well even though she weren't talking to them. They were suddenly frightened by what Ma'am Jacky had done,especially her nephew.He saw that serious looks many times already, so he knows what it means she does that.“Just follow her instructions,” Ma'am said again.“Besides, combining your four brains and skills, I'm sure you can solve this situation better than the police could have. Maybe you can even get ahead of them.”The four were silenced at first because of that.“I think Ma'am is right,”Clyne said just to break the silence.“With Usher's brains and expertise, we can find a loophole out of this and find Xania in no time. It's just that, her manager is making it hard for us.”The three men looked at Clyne because of that last sentence.“But we can do it, right guys?”Cl
They went around the entire Barangay Tres today.With the map on their hands, they started at the first place her manager said she could go to, the grocery store. On the car, Usher immediately told them togo to the CCTVroom to see if they had any footage of Xania.They were scanning each video that was in the facility and each looked at it intently without missing anything.But as Usher says, Vince has the sharpest eyes of them all so he sees Xania right away.With that, they followed her steps through each CCTVfootage there was.She left that grocery store without anyone taking her.Leaving the grocery store, they scanned back to the information they got in Ma’am Jacky’s interview.“She said here...” Usher said.“...that every time right after she goes to the grocery, she also goes home immediately to cook at her house which is in Barangay Tres too.”“S
Chapter 24When the three left, it was quiet inside the mansion now.Vince is in his room wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt while standing beside the window of his room and through the moonlight coming from it, he looked again at the black card he was holding.There’s a lot going on in his mind now, after what happened earlier.“...don't call the number.”F*ck, and it was even Zend that really said that so how can he not be bothered?He seemed even more tempted to call the number....That night, when Zend came home, he was in his room now holding his cellphone.He opened it and went to his contacts and pressed a number for a call.The call is ringing so Zend puts it to his ear waiting for the other person to answer.“Hello Zend?”the answer on the other line.“Hello Ma'am Jacky,” he replied with a smile.“What is it now?!” 
...Vince is inside his car right now driving in the roads of Barangay Tres.Using a new GPShe installed in the car, he went to the place where the man could be.It was getting darker around where he was driving and it seemed like sometimes Vince couldn't believe that he was still part of Barangay Tres.He even thought he was lost.He stopped at a placewhere the GPS took himand he looked around him but he couldn't see anything, justtrees.He seems to be fooled by his GPS.Is this even the right place?He got out of his car, put on the hood and with a flashlight in his hand, he looked around.He should havethought of bringingtheGPSof that man’s tracker.He thought it would be easy to go to the place at that address, but this is the situation of the place in reality.He was not afraid of the dark and kept looking around the dark forest he is in.
