Thomas lost his patience and stood up. "Well Carlo, you leave me with no other choice but to your force in order to prevent you from ruining my plans," he looked at his five body guards. "Restrain Carlo and if he resists, feel free to beat him!"Carlo looked down and frowned. In his mind, he already accepted defeat. But Rachel did not allow them to touch Carlo."I am sorry but there is no way I'm gonna let you touch my husband and father... not in my watch!""Do it," said Thomas with authority. "Do not try to harm my daughter... just calm her down!"Carlo speaks up. "Father, I begged you not to hurt your own daughter. She has nothing to do with this. I won't resist but in exchange of that, you should let her-"Rachel interrupted her husband. "Please Carlo, I won't let them hurt you by any means. Just hang on, I can find a way to save you!"Thomas looked at Carlo with hatred. "I don't give a damn to a word that comes in either of your fucking mouths. I am tired of this nonsense convers
"But sir Thomas, would it be okay if you tell a story about how you became a rich man?" Diego asked in wonder."Why do you ask that, Diego?""J-just to kill time sir Thomas. However, if you don't want to tell your story... then it's fine by me!""Not a problem," said Thomas. "Besides, my story before becoming a disgusting rich is really something that you might find inspirational. As a matter of fact, I had plenty of opportunities to share my stories to different people. Born in Olongapo in November 1945, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Wanting to escape poverty, I followed my father in Metro Manila only to experience a miserable youth here. I struggled hard living in Metro Manila and had to learn to get along. Determined to become successful, I worked hard day and night to provide for my needs.I started out with small business stores that helped them in their day-to-day life. Me and my father lived in a small space until the fruits of our labor made them successful i
Diego then went at the back of Carlo and asked permission to Thomas. "Sir, just say a word and I'm gonna make this guy scream in pain by fucking him hard!"Thomas wiped his face and replied at Diego. "Just wait a sec... let us give Carlo a second chance!"Carlo laughed in a mocking way. "Hahahaha... would you really think I am going to say something? The moment I escaped this place, I am going to make sure that I will take my revenge!"Thomas sighed. "For the last time, what is your relationship with that person Sergio kidnapped?"Carlo insisted on not saying about his relationship with Tricia because if he does, it will be his end. At the back of his mind, he would rather endure the pain of being fucked by another man than to humiliate himself and his company once they found out about his mistress, especially because his investors are conservative. A flashback about him starting his business played on his mind again."I can still remember how I started my business... I grew up withou
Thomas' phone suddenly rang again and when he checked it, Vincent was the one calling him. He put his phone in a loudspeaker in order for Carlo to hear his conversation as well."Hello sir Thomas, I think I already know the relation of that young boy with the hostage!" said Vincent who was grasping to breathe."And how did you know about that?" Carlo asked."Answer him," said Thomas who knew that Carlo was indeed lying from the very start.Thomas lowered his voice to avoid being caught by Sergio or his men. "His name is Efron, I happened to recognize his face because my daughter is a student of his. And the hostage's name is Tricia, I saw her twice at the bar and she was actually quite popular there. I managed to infiltrate their warehouse without being noticed so I guarantee you that I am right!"Carlo felt it was the end of his world and his lies were about to be exposed... but not when Vincent continued speaking again. "Actually, Efron and Tricia might have a relationship!"Carlo t
As soon as Carlo was freed, he collapsed in the ground but Rachel helped him get up."No, I am fine," said Carlo to Rachel. "Let us go now, I need to confront your father then return back to our home to take care of our kids!"Rachel looked at Carlo with pity. "No, you are in a bad shape. What happened? Based on your look, you are not beaten up!"Carlo did not say that he was being molested by Diego as it would cause unnecessary problems. He smiled and pretended that he was okay. "You've got nothing to worry about Rachel, this is something I can handle. I would not have a peace of mind unless I confront your father!""But he is not believing that you are not involved in this kidnapping!""I don't give a damn about it cause I am very sure that the hostage herself will say the truth and I want to be there when that happens. We should go now!"Diego felt jealous about Carlo and Rachel. Seeing his lover having a sweet time with her husband is painful for him to see. Still, he owes Rachel
"Don't make me laugh, you cannot cover up the fact that he is a cunning evil. I will surely not forget about this one!" "And what are you planning to do then? Don't tell me you're going to avenge your own father!" Rachel did not reply, instead she comes up with some ideas on how to expose her father. Since she was a kid, she knew all the underground businesses of her father like smuggling different weapons to the terrorists and human trafficking to name a few. All she needs is to have enough evidence to convict her father. "It seems like you are planning something, Rachel. Am I right?" asked Diego. "The way your eyes move, I knew it... you are coming up with the best idea in order to get rid of your father!" Rachel then tried to seduce Diego in order to obtain some information that might be helpful for her. "Okay Diego... since we are already having a wonderful conversation, why don't we try to rekindle our relationship?" "You're smart-ass, Rachel... you are going to use me in ord
Meanwhile Thomas received another call from Vincent, the one he assigned to infiltrate the warehouse to obtain some information about the kidnapping since Vincent always takes a dangerous job like this. For him, the more dangerous the job is, the more exciting it would be. And so far, in the past ten years of working in underground businesses, he became familiar with different types of techniques on how to infiltrate any establishment without being caught or noticed."Sir, the tension is rising in this place as Sergio finally showed up with a gun on his hand. It seems like he's not in a good mood to have a talk to anyone!"In the background Thomas could hear Sergio shouting at his people."Hey Vincent, we can talk later. I wanna listen to Sergio first... I can clearly hear what he is saying!""Yes sir, I am a few steps away from him that's why you can hear him loud and clear," Vincent shut his mouth for a while and let his boss hear the background noise."Stupid fools... why are there
Thomas frowned. "There is a change of your speech pattern and that only means you are not telling me the truth, Efron! Probably, when you found out that I am the father of Carlo's wife, you decided to cover up that prostitute woman so I wouldn't harm her by any chance. Isn't that right, young boy?"Efron looked down in disappointment. In his mind, he was wondering what's with Thomas that he almost caught him lying despite the fact that they did know each other in person. "This guy... I am sure he is not a nice guy... but for him to have that kind of analysis, this guy is damn intelligent. I should not tell him that I am lying otherwise, it might put Tricia in a big trouble. All I need to do is to be consistent with my statement and I shall be okay!"Thomas' bodyguard slapped Efron on his face and his hand marked on his face. "Fucking idiot, we've got no time to play with you. Answer my boss' question!"Thomas who was shocked by what his bodyguard did yelled at him. "Damn it... don't t
