Chapter 3

Tanya’s POV

I'm Tanya Snow. I’m also an assassin/agent. While I was working out, my private phone suddenly rang. I quickly grabbed it and checked who was calling.

When I saw it was Ana’s number, I immediately answered while wiping the sweat off my face.

"Hel—" I hadn't even finished my greeting when the person on the other line spoke.

"Mommy said you should call her later after this call, Ninang," said Baby Enno, without a hint of emotion.

‘This kid is always so cold when talking to others. But when he's bonding with his mom and sister, he’s incredibly sweet,’ I thought to myself, raising an eyebrow.

"Okay, I'll call h—" I couldn’t even finish what I was saying because he had already hung up.

I could only shake my head at what happened. But I couldn’t help but wonder why Ana wanted me to call her, so I quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower. Afterward, I grabbed my phone to call Ana back.

After four rings, someone answered—but it wasn’t Ana. I wasn’t sure if it was Enna or Enno who pressed the answer button. But then I heard a child call for their mother, and I knew by the voice that it was Enno telling Ana that Ninang Tanya was calling. Before I could even speak, Ana answered.

"Hello, Tanya," Ana said in a serious tone. Whenever she sounded like this, it meant something serious was happening, so I needed to get serious too.

"Hello too, Ana! Why did you want me to call you?" I asked, my curiosity kicking in.

"I have an important task for you," she said, making me even more intrigued.

"Say it!" I urged her, not liking being kept in suspense.

"Find out when the general meeting is at one of my companies," she instructed.

‘I have a feeling she’s talking about the AC Company,’ I thought.

"Which company exactly, Ana? You have so many, I can't figure out which one," I said, though I already had an idea.

"The AC Company."

‘I knew it. She must have caught wind that something shady is happening inside her company,’ I added in my mind.

"Oh! Perfect timing because there's actually a shareholder meeting soon. And guess what? There's a rumor going around—you probably haven't heard it yet—that someone wants to take you down and remove you from your own company. I also heard that Mr. Mercado wants to become CEO since they claim they've never even seen the CEO in person—which is you, because you always send a secretary to meetings and important business deals," I explained to her.

"Be ready, we’re going to bring them down this year," Ana said with a hint of amusement. I smiled because, finally, I was going home to the Philippines. I already knew what was happening in her company, but I still needed to gather solid evidence so that Mr. Mercado couldn't get away with his crimes.

"Ohhh, I love it! So, same plan as before?" I asked with a grin.

"Yes! Let’s surprise them. Let's see if they won’t tremble with fear when they find out who actually owns the company they’re trying to take down. I’ll send you files—study them and prepare a full report," she instructed.

"Okey dokey! Anything else you want me to do?" I asked.

"Nothing else! Bye, Tanya," she said, ending the call.

"Bye!" I replied and was about to hang up when Ana suddenly spoke again, catching me off guard.

"Wait, Tanya. I know I’ve never properly thanked you. But I just want to say thank you—for always being by my side. Even after I left my old job in the organization, you and the others never abandoned me. Thank you again," she said, then hung up.

I shivered a bit hearing her gratitude. If Black 01 a.k.a. Sky and Agent P heard her right now, they’d probably go crazy from shock.

A few minutes later, the files Ana mentioned arrived. I immediately studied them and saw that a huge amount of money was missing—and there was only one culprit: Mr. Mercado. I raised an eyebrow and said with a smile,

"Tsk! Poor fool," thinking they must have believed they could easily defeat Anastasia Clinton. They couldn’t be more wrong.

I went to bed early so I could wake up early to pick them up. I was excited to see the twins. Before I knew it, my alarm clock went off, so I hurried to get up, showered quickly, got dressed, and packed all the evidence I gathered.

"Rinnnngggg!" my phone rang, and I immediately answered.

"Hello!" I greeted.

"Miss Snow, the car is ready," said the voice on the other line.

"Oh, thank you!" I replied.

"You're welcome, Miss Snow," they answered.

I went downstairs and headed to the car where my driver was waiting.

"Good morning, Manong," I greeted him. He had been my personal driver for a long time. Like me, he was also Filipino. I found him wandering the streets after escaping from an illegal agency that almost trapped him.

"Good morning too, iha," he said, opening the car door for me.

"Thank you, Manong," I said gratefully.

"No problem. Alright, let’s get going," he said, starting the engine.

"Yes, Manong. By the way, you’ll be coming with us when we leave today. We’re going home to the Philippines, and you’ll finally get to spend time with your family. We’ll also stop by your place to get your things. Is that okay with you?" I asked.

"Thank you so much, iha. At last, I’ll be able to see my family again. I’ve missed them terribly," he said emotionally.

"It’s nothing, Manong. I’m just happy I could bring you a little joy," I said with a smile.
