After a few minutes, I am staring at my laptop screen thinking of a way to find the information I need. I will be meeting Mera soon but I have to make it one step ahead.
“How about those detectives we always watch on movies. They seem helpful if the movies are true.” my pa said as he cooks us some lunch.
“That is it pa, thanks. I’ll try looking for some private detective who can help me.” I said as I search on the internet for some nearer private detectives available in the Philippines or something.
After a few hours of searching, I am able to contact two private detectives in the name of John Regaldo who according to his files that I hacked he is 32 of age and resigned police and there is Marvin Osmond who is a half American- Filipino who is 28 of age a previous soldier police officer before he went to the army then build his own private investigator firm. I ask Mr. Regaldo to
A group of High Schools walk in with their varsity jackets and cups and sit on the table in front of her. She sees that 2 ladies putting on their lipsticks as they look into their compact mirror. The 4 high school boys in their varsity uniform and cup sit on the chairs and start looking into the menu.“Wait here guys; we will be in the restroom for a while. Get our orders before the after-lunch class starts.” said one of the girls in a ponytail and in her high school uniform skirt as she takes a bag used by players and the others follow after her in the restroom holding her bag too.Mera takes her compact powder and uses her mirror to put on her lipstick but she casually looks in the directions of those men who are so obvious and are looking in her direction.“Hmmm I feel so bad right now, where is she? How can’t we able to find her?” Mera said as she signs and place her compac
All this time I am thinking of plans and I finally come out with many ideas. Thanks to badass novels I had read before.“So, what do you plan to do now Anna?” my brother Rafael asks as we all sit at the table outside the front porch of my Uncle Oliver’s house.I look at the people drinking their coffee at that table. My brother Rafael, Ezzar, my uncle Oliver, my cousins Casper and Ian, Michael and Rose are all there as we all drink our morning coffee. I told everyone what happened to me and that my life is in danger. I take a deep breath before I told them that I plan on moving away somewhere in Manila but hidden while I investigate who wanted me dead. They all look at me and utter their protests.“No, if you are planning to leave and fight alone we won’t allow you. Let us help you. As your older brother, I will not let you fight this alone and we want to help in any way we can
I look at the files as Rose remains silent as she looks at the other files on her side.“One more thing Miss Colley, the day where the kidnappers meet those who paid them to take Miss Villaflor, Marz Pilkin and his wife supposedly went to Boracay for a vacation. I checked but no record that says of them being there. They were last seen in Manila where the Executioner’s are also are that time. It might be a coincidence but…… their ATM account recorded that they bought some masks and capes in a mall there. They withdrew 1 million on their account. All the records are there as well as pictures and CCTV videos.” the detective said as I look into the pictures.“I see thank you for this and continue digging into Marz Pilkin and Joleene Cavales’ business. The next time we will meet will be at the end of our transaction. I hope by then you have gain more evidence than this.” I said as t
We leave that place satisfied that the Executioners agreed to handle Joleene and her husband while we get ourselves busy with the bigger fish, Marz Pilkin. We all head to where my sister Daisy is staying and where Henry and the others are. After resting for a while and planning again the others head towards the secret hideout of our gang and leave me, Rose, and my sister Daisy in her apartment.“It seems like even your grandfather is conducting his own investigation. I just wonder where Cole might have gone to.” Rose said as I take a deep breath.“I hope he is not doing something dangerous. That guy is unpredictable like his parents. I only hope he won’t resolve into doing something bad.” I said as I look at my sister Daisy who is placing warm coffees on the table as she sits beside me on the sofa while Rose is drying her hair after a shower.&
“You two! Why are you following us?” Cole asks looking as scary as ever.“What?! Got a problem?” Rose answers with her coldest and scary glare making Cole and his companions froze for a moment but then get themselves alert.“Rose, you are scaring them.” I said as I tap her arm but I am smiling with a smirk.Rose is really good at things like this. She can immediately shift into her characters like Rose and Mera that she can use in any situation. I don’t know but I am nervous that Cole might suspect Rose for Mera seeing that she acted like Mera.“The hell I care, they are getting on our way. Do what you must and let’s get out of here.” Rose said coldly glaring at Cole making me sigh.“Wait, I saw you two at the restaurant we are in a little while ago. And now, I see you looking in our direction as you
I slowly pull Carol out of the car when we arrived in Pasay City where our hideout is. It is by the edge of a slum area. My brother Ezzar, Ian, Michael, Henry, and Jake came towards us with their own disguises; some of our members followed them behind.“What took you so long?” Henry asks as I look at his face, he is wearing a blonde wig and eyeliner over his rubber mask creating an image of a gangster or a rock star, the idea of Rose. If it is not because of his voice I would not recognize him.“Sorry we crossed paths with Cole and WE…” Rose stops talking as she looks at Carol who is being pulled by my brother Rafael from the car gently so he is just guiding her.I smile, of course, my brother will still treat any women gently even if they are the enemy or not. That is just how my brother is. That probably is also the reason why many girls back in our village wanted to trap hi
After another week I am now managing Prime Corporation with the help of Henry and Rose. For a week I managed to get used to every process in the office. Shockingly I am managing fine and productively. To my amazement our company rank is going up while Mr. Fourteho had lost so much on his money because of his gambling addiction of course with a little push from me he now lost all his money and even house so, in the end, he sold me all his rights to the company, thus making me own the whole company. After 2 months I am now the new CEO of Z Prime Corporation and reconstructions are happening in the company. We even made some changes to the company building inside and out. We repainted outside and fix the offices of the employees into much comfortable and wider cubicles that give them much privacy. Since we are a manufacturing company who sells goods to higher bidders everything should be good and persuasive to the buyers. A manufacturing business combinesraw materia
The police arrived so Jake and Henry in their disguises and are acting as passer-by and witnesses speak to those officers while I and the others watch afar on the car. Jake points to the police officers the cases full of drugs as they watch the ambulances with those young girls that look so terrified head to the hospital and we can see some people in suits who I supposed will contact the families of those teenagers. We drive back to the hideout after and everyone is so silent. Back in our hideout, the others are tending to their wounds and some are massaging their body. I stand there as I walk back and forth in that living room as I am uneasy before I stop and face them.“How are you all feeling? I hope you guys will recover in a few days. Don’t forget that this is just the beginning of our missions so get yourselves in good shape and look into your wounds. Oh and Jake hand me one of the cases.” I said and he looks confused but fo
I smile on my reflection seeing myself. I am wearing a mask so my face is different. I have pinkish lips, blonde hair or wig, an elongated nose, and I’m wearing bluish contact lenses. I look at Mera on the other side just for us to smile cunningly. She is also wearing a mask and a jet black wig with reddish highlights; she is wearing grey contact lenses, and she is dressed in this lovely lavender off-shoulder gown with hanging straps on her shoulders but with a tube-like cleavage showing her lovely necklace. Her wig is in a lovely twist and is designed with flowers. I am wearing the same gown but my wig is hanging freely on my sides but is fixed on my head with lovely flowers and pins. Mera and Zam are supposed to be one of the bridesmaids but we are going there disguised.“So Mera, are you ready?” I ask as I walk towards her as Zyrem and Clide stand on the side waiting for the command to what they will do next.
After almost months of dating and being in a relationship, my brother Ezzar decided to propose to Carol who happily said yes. Unfortunately, Carol’s parents are so against their relationship. My brother is starting to get depressed so when my sister Daisy called me and accidentally told me about it I fly back as soon as possible. Especially when I found out how they threaten my brother to never see Carol and they lock Carol at home so they will never meet. That is when I called the help of the three people I know who can help me. They met me right in the airport and we ride towards the Stanleys’ house as soon as I arrive so I have jetlag the time I arrive at the airport mixed with my frustration with how they treated my brother.‘Hmnn so this is their house, not so bad. So that is why they had the guts to threaten my brother that way.’ I utter in my mind as I look at the mansion gate while I roll down the window of the
“So what do you plan to do now Lady Zarianne?” a woman in the crowd asks as I sigh.“Well, that is also the other reason why we called everyone for this party. After unmasking Miss Z it will NOT be fitting if I will continue working this business under a false identity. After all, it had served its purpose so… I think it is time for me to give my plans closure. I will be leaving the management of Z Prime Corporation to someone I trusted. Miss Daisy Marcelo, can you come up here as well as Mr. Michael Adamson.” I said and everyone looks around as I can see my sister and Michael looking as baffled as they walk up to the stage beside me.“These two are my trusted friend and employee. Miss Marcelo here is my secretary and Mr. Adamson is a friend of mine. I will be giving the position of Company President to Miss Marcelo and the position of being the Executive Assistant to Mr. Adamson. I am sure
I take a deep breath before I look at everyone who is looking at me worriedly. I nod at them and they sigh.“Let them in Zyrem, thank you.” I stated as the others sigh and start to stand and walk out of the living room meeting Austin ad Marlon who look as terrible and sad as my parents stayed by my side worried about what the brothers will do to me.We wait as they both walk in looking so pale and weak unlike when we first met. Marlon’s smug and arrogant look is not gone and he looks like a sleepless stressed person from having too many problems. Austin looks like he is hanging on but he looks as bad as his brother. I sigh as I look at them as they stop before us.“Please take a seat.” I said softly as I look at them.They silently s
“Ahmmnn you knew… you are kissing your cousin right? Mind backing a little.” we look towards the door to see Henry, Rafael, Daisy, Mera, my parents, and grandfather who are looking at us really weird.“Oppss you got us.” I said as I start laughing as Mere smirks at me and Cole looks at me rubbing his nape as he looks down unable to look at my parents and grandpa.“Hey you guys do not scare Cole, will you? And to be honest we are not blood-related. I guess we have a winner on that competition you had set before grandpa.” I said with a silly smile on my lips as they look at me as Cole look at me unable to comprehend.“Ah that competition, I supposed I can’t go against your decisions, my brave princess. After all, I already said that whoever yo
I roll over and look up at the sky as I can feel my wound aching. Things went really fast and here I am lying on this rooftop tired and wounded. I am slowly losing my blood and I can hear ringing over my head. I close my eyes and laugh at the irony of this all. When I open my eyes I froze seeing his face.“Stay with me. Don’t you dare close your eyes.” he screams as I can feel his hand covering my gunshot wound over my chest.“Medic!” he screams as some medic came rushing in to dress my wound.“Hey, hey look at me. Stay with me.” he screams as I look at him and slowly reach his face.“You… You crazy jerk stop screaming. My head is ringing and what are you talking about. I was always with you… foo
“She is fine but…… she is shot on her shoulder, slight wounds from the car crashing and- and the doctor said that her operation went well but she is still unconscious. We just returned to tell you this then get her something clean to wear and to let you guys be alert. Jake, Rafael, and I will go and see her in the hospital but you guys just keep going into the missions. I feel so bad.” Rose said as she sits on the sofa looking so burdened.“What- What had happened?” Michael said and Jake look at them before he sighs.“We got blocked and rained with gunshots. I tried making the car run backward as fast but we crashed into another van behind us. We tried to run out but we were surrounded by those men. Rose- Rose was about to be shot but Z pushed her away and she got shot ins
“Marlon, please stop this. What on earth are you doing? This is not going to solve anything. It will just make things difficult for us.” Austin said as he looks at his twin brother who identically looks like him but they are too different in style and characters.“Shut it Austin! You heard it as well. That man said that this BITCH is the one responsible for what happened to us and who paid someone to kidnap us and destroy our parents’ business. We are living now in a small God-forsaken rental house all because of her.” Marlon said as he looks at me looking so angry with his red eyes, messy look, and terrible drunken state.“But we have no proof that it is her doing. All we have are that man’s accusations.” Austin said as his brother look at him but st
“Cole is here, right?” I said and she looks at me with a smile as Rose nods.“Yap I think so, we did invite him here so I supposed he is here.” Rose said as her eyes scan the room.“Ah, there he is. Classy and cold as always but damn…… he sure is handsome and masculine.” Rose said as she looks at Cole who is standing with his friends on the side wearing this lovely black suit and his hair all brushed really well.“Perfect, tell the boys I want him in the women’s comfort room now, time to talk with him.” I said and Rose nods then she smiles cunningly before she texts someone with her cell phone.We waited for a few moments when her cell phone rings then she answered it and she smiles at me and nod. I can see that scary s
