Atty. Yhera and her officer friend at the NBI made a further search on Seigfred in the nearby islands where they caught Conrad Zhang; Today, the whole afternoon, they were able to visit two nearby islands but unluckily, there was no sign of Seigfred there. Sad and about to lose hope, Atty. Yhera, excuse herself from her friend and his co- NBI officers and she walked briskly inside her Montero car.
As she sat down inside her car, Atty. Yhera was not able to hold back her tears. She let herself cried and poured out all the sorrows and emptiness that she felt inside her heart since the time Seigfred has been found missing.
They said, sometimes, strong women breakdown and cried too; they just hid it, where no one could see them. The fierce lawyer cried and felt how weak she is right now.
She just sent a message to her friend, saying she will go ahead and drove her Montero car b
I True to his promise to Shandall and accepting her reasons as valid enough, the young Doctor keeps his mouth shut. He also wanted to protect his patient, should his life has been at risk. He returned the next morning to the beach resort of Shandall when he was being picked up by the woman’s driver and bodyguard. Inside the guestroom, Shandal took a sit on the chair beside the bed where their unexpected guest is still sleeping soundly. Her eyes never leave the handsome face of the man, whom she knew now as Seigfred Yee, a billionaire, who owns an international real estate company. She could not take her eyes away from his nose down to his inviting lips. She could even imagine, how it is to be kissed by such manly lips. She moved her chair nearer to the bed and stretched her right hand. She caressed his face and traced his nose and his lips with her fingers. Unable to control herself, she moved her head nearer and lowered it down, kissi
I Her heart palpitates as she tried to move her feet. She can’t hide the excitement within her at the same time regrets that she came in late in his life. She is sure that he would automatically request to call his fiancee, now that he is awake and everything between their unexpected meeting will be gone in vain. Inside the guest room, Seigfred indeed has awakened. His eyes were opened and trying to familiarize himself with the place he was into. “Where am I?” he asked the young Doctor as he entered the guest room. Shandall was following him. “Hello Sir, I am Doctor Pol, this is Ms. Shandall and Ms. Matina here. You are in a private resort owned by Ms. Shandall’s family here in Batangas. How are you feeling now?” the young doctor said as he walked nearer to the bed of Seigfred. “I think, I am fine now Doctor Pol; I just felt my throat dried up so I asked for
I With a fast-beating heart out of excitement and anticipation of seeing Seigfred again, Atty. Yhera would usually gasp for air to breathe. She is becoming restless. This is the reason why, her friend at the NBI did not allow her to drive her Montero car, instead, asked her to join them in the NBI’s SUV car. “Relax Yher; now that Siegfred has been found already and seemed to be fine since he was able to remember you and your mobile number, everything will then eventually solve,” Jim said as he tapped Atty. Yhera’s right shoulder. “Yes Jim, everything will be solved soon. I will not take it so easy with this Conrad Zhang. I will make sure he will rot in hell,” Atty. Yhera hissed, her blood is now boiling again against the accused. “Easy Yher, haha; I know you can easily do that to him. Now, relax and put some powder because our boat is already nearing the beac
I The time seemed to freeze and the world stopped moving. All Atty. Yhera could feel was Seigfred’s beating heart and his lips that tried to let her forget the pains she was into when he was found missing. “Seigfred, let’s go home,” she murmured after he released her from his kisses. Seigfred nodded. “Yes, Sweetheart, we will go home now.” And then Seigfred looked at Doctor Pol and Shandall. “Dr. Pol and Ms. Shandall, I owe both of you big time. I know thank you both would not be enough. Please let me know how I could repay you,” Seigfred said smiling at the two while holding Atty, Yhera’s hand. “You are welcome Mr. Seigfred, your sincere thank you is enough,” Dr. Pol said in his usual gentle tone. Looking at Dr. Pol, Atty. Yhera suddenly remembered Sarah, her best friend. A naughty thought came into her mind.
I “Brace yourself, Sweety, we are getting near,” Seigfred said while giving his fiancee a mysterious smile. “Getting near where?” Atty. Yhera asked with an excited voice that made Seigfred’s smile grew wider. “Closed your eyes, Sweety, we are almost there,” Seigfred said smilingly. He too is becoming excited. “Alright, here I go, closing my eyes as you said so Sweety.” She teasingly said as she closed her eyes obediently. Seigfred’s smile became, even more, wider, when he saw the place, she will be bringing her. He then put a halt to his car and then faced Atty. Yhera, who slowly opened her eyes when she felt their car stopped. “Sweety, where are we?” she asked while furrowing. They are inside a subdivision, which she knows only billionaires could afford. She could see stunning houses like castles, elegant, big, and truly amazing. Some houses are even patterned after some European-style
I “Seigfred, this is … this house, I mean this home is absolutely extravagant. But you have a lot of houses already, why do you have to build another one?” Atty. Yhera asked still with a face flashing with astonishment. Seigfred smiled widely as he cupped her face. “Because you deserve something better Yhera. This will be our main family home and the rest will just be for vacation or in case we need to stay there.” “What can I say more Seigfred? Nothing more, but thank you and I love you,” she said with a hint of tears about to fall from her eyes. They have been through a lot these past days and all she wanted is to be with Seigfred. Everything other than him is but mere bonuses for her. “I love you more Yhera. We have been in a stressful situation these past days and I wanted to make it up to you. Somehow, I am guilty of not letting you know that to stop Rho
I And so the case for murder, for killing Rhoda Tolentino; kidnapping and serious illegal detention, for taking forcefully, detaining, and depriving Mr. Seigfred Yee of his liberty for more than a week has been charged against Conrad Zhang, to which he pleaded not guilty despite of glaring pieces of evidence and strong witnesses that would definitely pin him down. When it was time for Atty. Yhera to ask Seigfred what really happened to prepare for his defense, only then that Atty. Yhera fully understood the circumstances. She knew very well now how to nail Mr. Conrad Zhang in his toes. After the first hearing, which was the arraignment, to which Mr. Conrad Zhang pleaded not guilty they need to wait for the next hearing or the Pre-trial conference, which was scheduled almost a month from the arraignment hearing day. As such, Atty. Yhera made sure that they will be fully prepar
I Hearing those voices, Atty. Yher smiled and glanced at Seigfred. “You really know, how to make me happy, Sweety,” she quipped and gave him a quick peck on his right cheek. Seigfred just made a hearty laugh and pulled her closer again to his side. “Buddy! Tony! Goodness, you two are here,” she joyfully said as they approached her two best buddies. “Of course! We have been following up Seigfred time and again of his promise to bring us to his beach resort here in Batangas,” Buddy replied winking. “Oh, so he is your best friend now and not me anymore?” She put her hands on her hips and glared at her friend, Buddy, teasingly. Then their waves of laughter mixed into the breezy, salty air on the beach. “Girl, Tony and I are so happy seeing that you are well again. Take good care of that happines
