The Revengeful Heirs Chapter 26
As the taxi raced fast the highway her mind drifted to her situation now. She was a single mother penniless and no career. Abandoned by her father technically because she could not ask for financial support and a mother who is addicted to casino and drinking and baby to support.She remembered Angelo Lopez. She felt so alone. If only Angelo never abandoned her, maybe her life now was different. Thinking about the man, made her heart beat faster. She remembered that one night that they both enjoy the love. The only night in her life that she fully felt that she was a total woman. The only night that made her life miserable eventually. When she realized the chronology of events in her life after that night, she tried to examine her feelings. It was unusual that even up to now, she could not feel the hatred for the only man she loved so much. Alright she hated the man sometimes but it was never permanent.“Hey lady. We are here now.” The cab driver cut her reverie.She released a long si

Many women especially in her line of works were lured by rich and fancy men. Older men collected younger women in their harem. Some women succumb to such offers because of desperation. Samantha sigh, okay she was desperate but that kind of affair was not for her. It was given, that Frank was not that bad at all. In fact, the man had all to become husband material. He is not rich alright, but for a short period of time Samantha knew that the man was responsible and kind.She had to be firmed and she is ready to spell out her decision as this early. Ever since she did not want to hurt her suitors. It is her personal dictum so she always told them at an early time before hope gone wrong.“Why are you doing this Frank?” She blurted out eager to know the reason. If she is going to reject Frank, it must be now.Frank was not expecting the question so it took him a little while before answering. He contemplated if he is going to tell Samantha the truth. But eventually decided that this is no

Beverly Smith was in her late twenties with lean attractive body. She was sophisticated in every sense of being a woman. She has a pretty face but her eyebrows that was arched and devoid of smile completed her snobbish feature. One look can tell that the woman was not approachable and unfriendly. It was drawn all over her, and Samantha immediately felt that she did not like the woman. She was not judgmental but the feeling of first impression struck her.“Samantha, meet my sister, Beverly Smith.” Norberto introduced the woman who came from the other side of the room.It was a conference room enclosed with panels. The reason why Samantha did not see Beverly as she entered. She stood and offer her hand.“Hi! Nice meeting you.” Samantha smiled with extended hand.Beverly ignored it.“So you are Samantha.” Beverly said with an assessing stare. She looked atSamantha from head to foot. “I’ve heard lots about you but it seems not all are true. You are not such beauty and even not a model ma

FRANK’S number keeps on ringing but there was no answer and eventually the call was dropped. Samantha decided to go directly to Frank’s apartment. She needed an explanation very badly. What is the relationship of Frank and her mother? She wanted the truth.She picked up Baby Divine and headed for the door. Frank’s apartment was on the upper level of the building. She rode the elevator. As the elevator climbed at a steady pace, her heart was racing faster. Her mind has so many questions. But one question has been answered by that picture.Now it is clear to her why Frank was helping her because of her mother. She was her mother’s look alike in the picture. The picture was very intimate. Samantha guessed that the two had an intimate relationship. They were lover’s no doubt about it.Are they lover’s before Arnald Lopez, her father? Maybe Frank was helping her to continue the affair thru her. Maybe Frank was planning to continue their postponed love story thru her. AS she taught about it

SAMANTHA could not sleep the whole night. She tried to call her mother and Frank many times but both could not be reached. She was annoyed. Her head began to ache. There must be an answer behind the picture. Who is Frank to her mother?She tried to remember the time when she met Frank. It was very casual. A simple HI and HELLO when they crossed each other and met at the elevator almost every day. They were from the same country and living at the same building. Casual greetings turned to short conversations. Followed by coffee invitation at the coffee shops just a few blocks from the apartment building. Small talks. Nothing unusual. She was alone and lonely and pregnant. She needed someone to talk to, somehow. Until she needed Frank for some errand during her pregnancy until her hospital delivery.They were acquainted and eventually became friends. Never crossed her mind that the man had treasured old photographs with her mother. If it was not an accident, it must be fate. She has to k

ANGELO Lopez was dumbfounded for a while. He was not sure now if he was hearing Marisa Madrid’s word correctly. The breakfast was good. The hotel’s service is excellent but he could not appreciate everything. He would like to regret that he said yes to Marisa last night when the later gave her ultimatum asking him for marriage. He said yes just to end the conversation and hoping that Marisa will not pressed the issue any longer. That a promise is like any other promises he made to other women and soon it will just fade away. But it seems it was his biggest mistakes.Marisa Madrid was serious and it seems that everything was already plannedahead.“I will call my friend. He is a priest and he can officiate our marriage right here at the hotel.” Marisa beamed in excitement. “After that we can fly to Rome for our honeymoon. I will call our home office in New York. I will ask for an indefinite leave of absence. I wanted to have a baby, Honey and we will work that out immediately.”Angelo

MARRYING for love is another but shotgun marriage is something else. While Marisa was busy on the phone, Angelo’s mind was racing fast. He is thinking of a way to unhook himself to this awkward situation. He was used to playing games with women but now it seems that he finally found his match. His plans are not working well and he has no plan to marry yet.She looked at Marisa sitting on the hotel room’s dressing table talking and barking instructions to her subordinates overseas. The woman was stunning alright. A beauty that every man cannot resist but the character struck Angelo. A woman on top of everything is dangerous.Domineering. Controlling. It seems that the woman is imploring devious tactics to achieve her goal and get what she wanted even in a relationship.In his younger years, he dreamt of marrying a woman like her mother. Simple yet caring. Marisa Madrid was the opposite. They are only the same by the first name as if fate played with them. Angelo was taken aback remembe

SAMANTHA tried to relax her breathing. Her face was very sweaty. Her shirt was soaked and wet. She was doing the routine for almost two hours now in the gym. Her conversation with her mother over the phone does not offer any satisfactory explanation.She remembered their conversation and the last word Divina had said is she could not remember the name. She never knew a man named Franco Sevilla. That she had a lot of male friends during her youth. Maybe the picture was taken as a souvenir by one among her admirer that she could not recall the name now.What Divina had said doesn’t have sense at all. Samantha had a feeling that her mother was lying. First the photograph was very intimate. Second, she also had some friends before and until now and she could still recall their names. Third, Divina was avoiding the topic and tried to divert their conversation and no matter how she asked about Franco Sevilla, Divina swayed away the conversation until she hang the phone.That mystery keeps n

WITH so many things occupying her mind, Samantha was surprised to see Angelo Lopez in her office accompanied by her secretary Becky Sanchez.“He insisted Boss.” Becky reasoned.“That is okay, Becky. You can leave us now.”“You are very hard to find, Boss.” Angelo said mockingly. “Cannot reach your phone and the apartment was empty and no neighbor can tell where you transfer.”Samantha understood Angelo’s resentment. Because of the fast turned of events in her life, she actually forgotten about the man. Due to Franks advice she terminated her subscription with her old cell phone, instead she used burner phone. An inexpensive phone designed for temporary call. According to Frank it will be safer so that no one can track her. She forgot to inform Angelo about it.Also due to Frank’s insistence they already move to the mansion. Her mother resisted it at first but when she realized the gravity of danger to Samantha being Frank’s daughter she eventually obliged. She already realized by now t

MARISA was overwhelmed, elated and more than happy seeing her new face. She was even more beautiful now. The doctor had really done a miracle on restoring her damaged face. She cried and hugged Angelo with too much happiness.“I think this needs for a celebration.” Angelo suggested silently feeling overwhelmed too. The burden that was lurking inside him and the fear that Marisa could not make it suddenly disappear.“Ohh… honey. I am so thankful.” Marisa said with misty eyes and then turned around. “Thank you Doctor.”“Thanks the Lord ma’am. I am just his instruments.” The doctor humbly answered. “The miracle was from him.”Marisa nodded in silence. She believed the doctor. In her past reading of the holy bible she contemplated much about her past and she realizes how lucky she was. A blessing that she should share to less fortunate. She was so touched and now she had promised herself that she will do good deeds in the future.They dined happily that evening as a celebration. She now r

Poor decision went astray while good decision made it through.

The Boss lead Samantha to a sitting room after they eat. It was a huge room with no windows but well lighted. There was a steel framed working table and a sofa. Aside from collection of antiques, the room was almost bare. No pictures or paintings hanged. Only a brown painted wall with high ceiling.The Boss took a bottle of wine and pour it into two wine glass and handed Samantha the other one which she eagerly took. She badly needed a drink after the incident of gun fire and surprises that had happened. Her adrenaline was still up and she wanted to eased a bit.“I know you are surprised seeing me here.” The Boss said after he emptied his glass. “I think we have to be introduced properly. I am Franco Ortega. But to you and your mother I am Frank Sevilla. I am sorry that I did not introduce you myself earlier. I have reasons.”“So you knew that I am your daughter all along?” Samantha said sounding like a statement of annoyance.“Yes. Since you were born. I was in the hospital when you

Marisa Madrid was sleeping in her hospital bed. Angelo was staring at the woman who was fully bandaged on the face with broken nose and gunshot wounds on the right cheek. The wound was not fatal because it exited the soft skin of the jaw but the doctor said that it will need longer therapy to restore both the skin and the broken jaw.Marisa also suffered fractured bones and limbs. Other than that she was already out of danger and the good thing is that the baby was not affected. Angelo got a mixed emotion about what happened. He learned that Marisa provoked the fight but he could not imagine that Samantha was now capable to break somebody’s limb. What happened to the sweet soft woman that he used to loved? It seems that something had turned out within the woman that made her a killer.Marisa moved and open her eyes.

ONE morning Constantine her driver/body guard handed her a bullet proof vest before they left the apartment.“It’s a vest. Like mine. Please wear it.” Constantine slowly said while helping Samantha unwrapped the black jacket like vest.“You are scaring me Constantine. Why am I supposed to wear a vest like this?” She said, starting to feeling nervous.“Protection Boss.”“Oww. Another threat I guess.” Samantha said to lighten the mood and then added a joke. “Or maybe we are going to a raid or something.”Constantine help Samantha with the vest and asked after. “Is your gun with you?”“Yeah of course.” She said touching her bag.She remembered Brenda’s word. “Don’t let yourself a willing target.

Divina was silent during breakfast and Samantha decided to respect that silence too. She was light headed that morning because of lack of sleep. As she watched her mother silently, Samantha was almost tempted to ask her who was her real father again but she had a second thought because Divina had answered that already and firmed in her conviction that Arnald was her father. Samantha had a second thought about it and she knew that asking will bring her nowhere. Now she realized how distant was Arnald to her and her mother in her growing days. She never remembered that the man had spent longer hour for her even during special occasions like Christmas and birthdays. She outgrown the thought that maybe Arnald was just a busy man.After high school she was sent to America to study college. It was Arnald’s idea and her mother could not say no but cry.Well maybe her mother was still expecting a second chance between them and Arnald like she was silently hoping for the second chance between

Divina remembered that when she confronted Arnald about the blind item, her husband did not confirm nor denied. She was so hurt and devastated. She loved her husband but she reached her limits. Like a scorned woman seeking for vengeance her first impulse was to self-distract. She began to socialized with old friends to forget but the pain always remained.She started drinking heavily and going out every night with old friends. Rich and adventurous friends who eventually taught her to gamble in the casino. Gamblers always had its beginners luck but it doesn’t last that long.
