* Reda Faith *

I could not stop the tears from flowing in my eyes as I rode with my father in his white Honda CRV. He is silent while on the steering wheel and I keep my eyes outside the window. I have never made him so angry and disappointed all my life, this is the first time that I have seen him this angry. He even punched a powerful man like Axel. The silence is disturbed by the ringing of his phone above the dashboard of the car.

"Yes, Papa?"

My grandfather is on the line. How could I forget, that this is the day that they will be declaring if my grandma will be out of the confinement in the hospital?

"Come again? I can't hear you properly please speak a little bit louder."

The tone of his voice made me turn my head away from the window and into him. He is holding the phone in his right hand while the wheel is on his left. There was no traffic on the road as we were already heading home but my father pulled over on the side of the road and dropped the phone slowly on his lap.

    * Reda *It was the worst day of our lives, having said our goodbyes to my grandmother and finally finalizing her burial. It took us weeks to slowly accept the fact that she will no longer be with us and I do hope that she will be resting peacefully in heaven. I prayed that my Nana would be happy up there even though I cannot see her anymore, but to know that she no longer suffers is more important. I stopped blaming myself for what happened and I also felt that my father seemed to have forgotten what I did with Axel.He could have learned the fact that my family is in grief for I have received a message coming from him. "Reda, I know you are grieving and I regret the fact that I can't be there to hold you. Let your grief over soon sweetheart and I am always be right here waiting. Take care of yourself and your Dad. See you soon!"After reading his message, I saw the look in my Dad's eyes when he watched me put my phone back in my pocket. To avoid any complications, I turned my mobile

    * Axel *With my territory finally expanding in the Philippines, I could not help but be occupied throughout the day. Yet when the night comes I still have the time to think about her and my father. My biological father who failed to know about me, pulled some strings to find out about my real identity. However, I had anticipated his actions even before I decided to come back to this country. He failed to learn my true blood and my real identity is still hidden from all the residents of his lands and this country as a whole."Boss Axel, the documents have arrived, congratulations on owning five thousand acres of land and property."The smile on Donte's lips is wide however I just nod and accept the big folder from his hands. "Complimenti Boss Axel! Bravo!"The greetings of my men inside the room maybe loud and cheerful as I scanned the pages one by one and they clapped their hands toward me. "Thank you everyone! We can all go out tonight and rent the nearest bar in town. Eat anything

    *Axel *"Buon Viaggio!" (Happy Trip)Donte bid a normal goodbye when we were about to board the plane for the international flight. Davao City airport is neat and bigger than the one in Butuan City which only caters to local flights across the Philippines. I was a bit reluctant to go on with my business trip to Taiwan and Singapore but I must leave to deal with a huge amount of money at hand. I look around the whole place before looking at him in the eyes and seeing the rest of my men behind him.I only have three of my most trusted high-caliber men flying with me, Rocus, Rafael, and the only female who belongs in the highest-paid men working for me Devin. Although at first glance no one could tell if it was a she or a he for she always wears manly clothing but looking at her passport would clear everything up. Rocus carries my small attache case and a carry-on bag while I speak with Donte for some final commands before I leave."Begin the construction of the Villa Donte, you have all

    * Axel *The plane safely landed after more than two hours of traveling above the sky. I checked my phone for a signal after the announcement of the pilot on board. The weather is hot, as the summertime is still thirty-five degrees, and time is about noon which is even more reason why the temperature is hot. I slowly get up from my seat after seeing that my men are ready to go out."Thank you for flying with us sir, hope you enjoy your stay in Taiwan!"I nodded as the flight attendants stood in line at the exit door of the plane. At the corner of my eyes, I saw the male flight attendant smiling but as soon as I was about to turn my back I caught him taking his mobile phone and typing on the screen as fast as his fingers could. With Devin ahead of me while Rafael and Rocus behind me we exited the plane as usual.The airport is a bit crowded following the line of passengers arriving, it was good that we have a separate line for all the business class. I followed Devin into the migration

    * Reda *All the luggage is packed and ready to leave as I look at my reflection in the mirror. It's been a few months since the death of my grandmother and then we started processing our documents needed to go abroad. Uncle Alexander came across a business associate who offered an opportunity for my father to work and live overseas. Despite my objection and my grandfather's request to stay, he wouldn't listen. So the three of us pack our baggage and must leave soon. Australia, it's miles and miles away from the Philippines, especially from the place where I was born, but my father found an opportunity to start over. After my grandmother died, things were never the same for our small family. And also I know that my father did not forget what happened between me and Axel. Although he was not asking anything I could see from the look in his eyes that he was calculating me and trying to figure out if I have still contact with him. But if he had only asked, I would tell him how I blocked

    * Axel *The business deal in Taiwan was a success after that the next destination was one of the world's cleanest countries in Asia, Singapore. However, God knows that people on the inside are only clean when it comes to their surroundings. I spent three days in the country before I was challenged by a few gang lords of the same country. "Boss Axel! We have a tip from the Dragon gang that we aren't welcome here."A worried voice coming from Rafael greeted me as I walked into the office early in the morning. Rocus and Devin are standing with him, it seems that the three are up early before me because of the bad news."Well, good morning everyone."I calmly walk passed them and sit on my swivel chair, with their eyes following my movement as they wait for the next words that I am about to say. "Good morning too Boss Axel, dispiacente."Rafael knows that I hate panicking and he is also aware that the fact that we are in this country would bring chaos to the rival gangs. We are all awar

    * Axel *The two-hour flight back to the Philippines was filled with silence. As Devin was being nursed by a private doctor while on travel, I still felt glad it wasn't fatal. While I am thinking of ways to get back the money I lost and the enemies that I thought were responsible for the sudden bomber. I believed that I had been way too relaxed even when danger was already in front of me. The attack would have cost me my life and my three friends. I gritted my teeth while I sat on my seat and I saw the clouds from my window."She is stable Boss Axel, the doctor confirmed that Devin would wake up after eight hours caused of the medicine he gave her."I sighed and met Rocus's gaze as he sat beside me. "Good! Now we know that the Dragon gang is not a group that should be taken lightly. I could have taken extra precautions and bought a place that was exclusive for us rather than staying at the hotel. It was reckless and thoughtless of me. Have you contacted the other members of our family

    * Axel *I will not rest until I have avenged the member of my family who passed away from the incident in Singapore. Days passed and even weeks, aside from managing my business outside Italy and across Europe online, I spent most of my time in the veranda of my room at the "Family Villa" which is almost finished. For a common owner, it would take years to build a house and a place like mine to finish. But with my money and connections, I will make it possible for just less than a year. "Boss Axel!"Donte came to my view with a pleasant smile on his lips. The sign of his true age shows through his laugh lines and crow's feet by the side of his eyes. But I must say that it did not make him less strong. Donte is still the bravest and one of the most loyal friends I have, he is like my second father even when he refuses to call me by my first name but still calls me Boss. The old man has more influence on me than anyone in the family. More than my father."The sun is setting with a beau

    * Reda Faith *It was exactly one month and two weeks when I noticed my body started to change, in the morning I felt nauseous, and often I take naps in the afternoon and wake up at night. Which is unusual, my body feels tired even though I haven't done a single chore all day. I need a check-up with the doctor but I also need to keep this from my Dad and grandpa. For some reason, I'm afraid that I have conceived and might be having Axel's child.The thought have may stressed out, but in the bottom of my heart I felt a little glad that it was from the man I love. Whatever the situation is, a child is a blessing and I have to confirm it soon."Are you alright Reda dear?" From looking at the glass of milk in front of me on the dining table, my eyes look up to face Grandpa."Good morning Grandpa. I am fine, please don't worry about me."He nodded but still his eyes looked worried before he turned towards the backdoor that led to his garden. "Come on out dear, you might need a little bit

    * Reda Faith *Days have passed by until it became weeks. I tried to keep myself busy by going out to the malls and buying things that I didn't need. Pretending that everything is alright, that I am enjoying my vacation. Dad did not ask me again for my job, but I knew that he would be asking soon. Then it was one month when I felt more tired than ever. Perhaps what I felt was more emotional than physical, because I had a hard time sleeping whenever I thought of him. He can't call me because I changed my number and blocked him on my phone.But one day when I was just sleeping and woke up late, I heard my Dad and my grandpa in the living room watching the news. I walk out of my bedroom surprised to see the time on the wall clock that strikes at five pm."Hello dear, you woke up just now?"Grandpa turned his head from the television and into me. After breakfast, I was feeling sleepy since I hadn't slept the night before. And was not aware of the time I slept and woke up just now."Yes Gr

    * Reda Faith *As the cold wind blew my hair at the side of the street where I waited for my Dad to pick me up outside the airport, I couldn't stop myself from thinking of him and how is he doing at the moment. I know that he already found out that I left and the reason behind it. It's easy knowing that I left the clue on the small table beside our bed. I took a deep breath in and filled my lungs with courage in order not to let those tears drop again. I cried at my seat on the plane while I was on board, good thing that the seat beside me was empty.I waited for a few more minutes until I recognized my Dad's car approaching. He went out after stopping beside the road and came towards me."Welcome back Reda, let me get your luggage sweetie.""Thank you, Dad."He quickly took the luggage away from me and brought it to the back of the car while I opened the door beside the driver's seat and got inside. He then joined me and maneuvered the car back to the road."So, how was Singapore? An

    * Axel *I waited for the lawyer to finish all the matters concerning the police before leaving the casino. It wasn't long before the police informed him that someone had already surrendered himself at the police station for the murder of Mister Bernard Ang. The fast act only came from Julliana of course, I know she did it after I agreed that she use my casino to deal with some of her clients. "Boss, did the lawyer call you?"Donte went inside my office right after I spoke with the lawyer on my phone. Following behind him is Rafael. Both of them refused to leave as soon as they found out that I was taking over time."Yes, and you all focus on the construction of the interior. The casino has to finish and operate soon."They looked at each other and both nodded. "I am in it Boss, the workers will be well compensated for overtime starting tomorrow and I guess one more month and we can start operating.""Great! Now it's time to go home, it's late and it has been a long day."They walke

    * Axel *As we were on the road to the casino building, Donte got a call from Rafael as he was the one in charge of the unfinished building. I let my eyes wander on the road and recalled the conversation I had with Julliana. I didn't like the way her face was giving strange reactions that I couldn't read behind those dark glasses and I felt that something was off. The series of explicit words coming from Donte as he speaks on the phone made my eyes turn towards him. He looks tense while holding the mobile phone and then turning it off as an indication that he finished talking."What is it, Donte?"He exhaled sharply as he met my gaze."There are police in the area Boss, it's better if you stay in the car while I go check what's going on."My eyes widened. If police are involved it could only mean that something bad had happened to our building."Damn it! What happened? I can't possibly just stay in the car if there is something serious going on with the casino!"Donte shook his head.

    * Axel *"Hello there! Didn't think you were here early?"With her dark shades on, I could still spot her on especially when the expensive restaurant is not too crowded. Donte seated on the farthest table from us made sure to come with me, and I didn't refuse the idea since having him around is the safest for me."I wasn't here for a long time, just arrived a few minutes and ordered something refreshing to drink first."Her lips curved in a smile before standing up to greet me with a hug and a brief kiss on my cheek. I could feel the tension from her and recognized her three bodyguards sitting not far from us. The waiter immediately came forward for my order, and I asked for a glass of water and a shot of whiskey."What's up Julliana? I thought you were busy with the business that you're running, why have you invited me out for lunch?"I know that the casino issue was not really what she wanted to talk about and she just made it as an excuse to meet me. "Your casino is almost finished

    * Reda Faith *For hours, I locked myself inside the bedroom crying my heart out until I figured out the things that I had to do. It was all too much to bear, that I find difficult to comprehend or believe that everything is true. Yet the evidence is screaming right in front of me. The paper signed by Axel himself and Julliana, the truth that they were married. How could something like that happened, why did Axel hide everything from me?"Ma'am, are you alright?"Following the knocks on the bedroom door was the voice of Ana who sounded worried as she might have heard me. It is time for lunch and I have not gone out of the room telling her what to cook. I wiped my face with the tissue beside me and moved to stand up from the edge of the bed where I was sitting. I opened the door to see her standing."I am not hungry Ana, please go have lunch and then you can leave for the day."The surprise was written all over her face along with the worry. "Are you sure ma'am? Would you like me to ge

    * Reda Faith *Three days after that sweet romantic night, our relationship had just gotten stronger and the hours passed by like it was nothing. However, without the knowledge of my family, I contacted the airlines and tendered my resignation. Following the plan of my future husband, I am happy to be spending the rest of my life with him. Too happy to defy my father, still I didn't have enough courage to tell him about our relationship, and just like what Axel had planned after two weeks more we would go to Australia together."Ma'am, someone's outside the door. It's a woman. Shall I open the door?"From browsing on my laptop, I looked towards the bedroom door where Ana was talking. My brows furrowed as I stood up to follow her."How long was she standing there outside?""A few seconds ma'am, I supposed."I took a look at the peephole and saw, Miss Goh. "Go back to what you are doing Ana, I'll talk to her."She looked at me and then exhaled, thinking that I probably knew who was on t

    * Reda Faith *I could not measure the amount of happiness that I felt because of his gift. It's a feeling as though I am being put into the clouds, just like they said that a diamond is a girl's best friend and maybe that is why feeling it around my neck made me feel important. Suddenly I felt that I was the most cherished person in his life, not because of the expensive diamonds but because he chose to give them to me. The dinner went well with the romantic music that a is playing in the air."How's your food sweetheart?"I meet his gaze before I answer. "It's great, this restaurant is not expensive for no reason. The chef must have done a great job serving us such delicious food."He chuckles and lowers his head to accommodate his spoon. Then I had a glimpse of the people behind him, it's impossible not to notice the woman from the other table. She's wearing a fancy gold dress embroidered with sparkling stones and when she moves her body sways showing delicate pearl white skin. She
