CHAPTER 21—The Truth

CHAPTER 21 —The TruthTHIRD POVRain felt her mommy's hand tighten slightly."You say it, Ali." Her daddy even stepped back to give Ali space but she didn't step.She looked at him directly. "Atty. Reymundo is a close friend of mine. He is your grandmother's lawyer.""Your friend?""One of my best friends. He is also one of Donya Aitana's students.""Then?""I know what is written in Donya Aintana's Last Will and Testament because I was with her when she made it."Her forehead was wrinkled while listening."Almost all of your abuela's wealth is named after you," Ali spoke to her calmly but seriously.Her eyes widened. "To m-me?""Yes.""Rain, whatever your Daddy and Ali say, please, just obey. We are worried," said her mommy.She didn't answer. She couldn't believe it. Her grandmother has many children as well as grandchildren. That's why she wondered why it was only named after her."But why all mine?" she asked."As I mentioned to you, you are Donya Aitana's favorite granddaughter."

CHAPTER 22—THE LAST WILL

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 22—The Last WillRain's POV"I am Aitana De Lara. Seventy years old, I leave 50 percent of the property to my sons Merceditas, Eliseo, and Elmer.""Wait a minute, attorney. Why only fifty percent?" Uncle Eliseo asked the lawyer."Is it okay if I finish reading it all first?""Ah, sure. I'm sorry." He apologizes.The lawyer continued. "Fifty percent of this covers the plants." Many businesses mention the lawyer, and we just listen.The faces of my uncles and aunties show their dislike for the last will."Meanwhile, the remaining fifty percent will be left to my granddaughter Rain Ember. This includes the entire Villa Floris.""What!?" Auntie Merceditas suddenly asked. It frowned. How can half of mom's property go to Rain? She is just a grandchild, an attorney. We are her children."Azariah held her mother. "Mommy, calm down."But Auntie Merceditas ignored Azariah. "Attorney, maybe you're just making a mistake."The lawyer smiled. "I can't be wrong, Mrs. Gustaves."Auntie's eyes

CHAPTER 23—Seemed to be in Hurry

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 23—Seemed to be in HurryRain's point of viewIt's night, but what I've been feeling since earlier is still the same. I didn't eat dinner because I didn't feel like it. Whatever comes to mindFrom what I saw and heard earlier from my auntie Merceditas, I know that she will not immediately accept those in the last will.I jumped up when someone knocked. I slowly approached the door and opened it from the outside."Hi!""Azariah?" I was surprised to see my cousin outside, but what surprised me more was that her eyes were red and swollen. It looks like she is crying."Can I come in?" Even though Azariah looked like that, she still managed to smile at me.Yeah. Come on, come in." I widened the door opening to let her in.When my cousin entered, she suddenly hugged me while crying. I wanted to know what happened, but it was better to keep quiet. I just let her cry first when she cried.After a few minutes, she gave up hugging me."I'm sorry. I made you cry. I messed up your clothes

CHAPTER 24—A Person Outside The Window

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 24—A Person Outside The WindowRain' Point of ViewI was nervous because of Ali's voice on the other line. I tried to call him again but his phone was switched off. I am wondering. I want to go down to see him but I'm afraid.I climbed on top of the bed. I tried calling Ali's number again but still the same. I'm really nervous and restless.I took a cardigan and put it on. I left the room with the cell phone. I slowly came down from the living room and went to the kitchen. I will look for Ali there first. It's a bit dark throughout the living room going to the kitchen because only the lights on the wall are on and it's not that bright. I even noticed the plate I used earlier in the sink.When I still didn't see Ali, I went to the library but there was no one. The silence was deafening all around. I took a deep breath. Maybe it would be better if I just went back to my room.I was at the bottom of the stairs when I noticed a shadow of a person outside the window. I bowed down.

CHAPTER 25— La Arma Counterspy

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 25 — La Arma CounterspyRain's point of view"Didn't I tell you not to leave your room, especially at such a time? Why are you so stubborn?" Ali's voice rose slightly when he told me that.I met his gaze. "Why are you angry?" Even though I was nervous, I still managed to ask him that."I'm not angry. It's just annoying because your stubbornness—""I was just worried about you, so I came down to look for you!" I said, because that's the truth. I couldn't calm myself down."Rain, that's enough."My chest heaved. I looked at Mom. "I'm going up to my room." I didn't wait for their answer and turned back. I left the parents' room feeling bad for Ali.I was on the stairs when I heard Ali's voice calling my name. I didn't pay attention to him. I continued to my room and, upon entering, went straight to the window. I opened it to let fresh air in.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I'm annoyed with Ali, but I'm even more annoyed with myself because I think I'm too wor

CHAPTER 26—Where To Go?

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 26—Where To Go?Rain's point of viewFor the last few days, I have been thinking about La Arma Countryspy. Just thinking about being the one in charge makes my head hurt. Even if it is said that Ali will help me, it is still different when I have knowledge of such a business. Too delicate and complicated."Hey! You've been an idiot for a while!" said Azariah while we were in the garden. Aliona was with us but took food from the kitchen.I immediately smiled at her. No one can know about the secret agency or our grandmother's business."I was just thinking about when we're going home.""You want to go home? Don't you want to be here?" she asked.I looked at the plants. "It's not that I don't want to be here, Azariah. Of course, our house is there. My parents and I live there."She nodded. "But this ancestral house is yours. It's your house.""Yes, but you and Auntie Merceditas are living here too." I turned around.My cousin sat down. "Wait. Do you mean it's okay with you that

CHAPTER 27—The Headquarters

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 27Rain's Point of ViewOur car STOPPED at a five storey building where, even from the outside, it is obvious that the construction is modern. The wall is made of glass but because of the blinder, you can't see what's inside.Ali's car door opened to me almost gaping in awe of the place. My hair was still welded and you immediately pulled it out."This place is beautiful. But why does it seem like we are in the middle of the forest?" I frowned at the question because when we were on our way here, I noticed that this place is remote. There are many trees and I can even see mountains.This is also the only building here and there is nothing else standing around. It has a high fence at the highest part, there is an electric cable where there is a sign that the electricity is active there."It's up to me to explain. Let's go."I followed Ali when he walked. I noticed the guards with different maroon uniforms. It's not like what the police or soldiers wear, but it's obvious that th

CHAPTER 28—Wound

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 28Rain's Point of ViewI'm speechless. It seems that the information they provide does not enter my mind. They also invited me around to familiarize myself with things inside the headquarters."Uncle Elmer came here yesterday, ah!" We were the only cousins on the rooftop while Brent and Ali were talking to someone on the 5th floor. Gianna invited me here so we could breathe fresh air. It's already evening and the view from here is also beautiful."Is this where they went with Ali?"She nodded. "Yes.""What is Daddy's position here?""Nothing. He only visited because he wanted to know what kind of business your abuela left you."I faced her. "Gianna, I'm going to tell you. I don't know anything about these things. I can't help you and I don't know what to do in running a business like this."She smiled. "Don't worry. I'm here. Ali is also Uncle Elmer. Even though your daddy doesn't have a position here, that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about this. I think your daddy

CHAPTER 29—Job: To Protect Her

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 29Rain's Point of ViewI tormented Dad and looked at Ali with a smile on his face. "You know, I think it will be good if I can squeeze your wounds! You're annoying!" I said.Ali seems to have lost blood because of what I said. "D-don't."I just sat in the waiting area while my father settled the bill. Ali is still in the wheelchair and just looking at me."What are you staring at?" I asked flatly.He averted his gaze. "N-nothing." Bow down more.I made him suffer again. "You're so stubborn. Do you think you can rest at home?"He met my gaze. "Do you think I can protect you if I'm here and you're at home?" His eyes were wide as he looked directly at me.That question seemed like a warm hand caressing my heart. He seemed to dissolve the annoyance he felt. I bent down and sighed. I met his gaze."Ali...""I hope you understand my reason why I want to go home. When I'm here, I won't be able to act properly. I'll always worry about you."I approached him and held his hand. Now I u

CHAPTER 30—Her Mom's Plan

La Arma's Heir/Lorenz Ventt

CHAPTER 30Rain's Point of ViewEXCEPT while cooking, I turned on my phone and let the songs on it play. I still occasionally sing while cutting cookies. I thought of just cooking chicken curry because it's easy to cook and that's what Ali's kitchen has.I also sieved the rice to cook the dish later, we now have rice. We spent the night in the hospital earlier and now, it's seven in the morning. That's why I'm yawning. I feel sleepy.I even screamed when I felt the sharp knife cut my finger. I immediately let go of the knife I was holding and went to the sink to wash the bleeding wound.When it stopped bleeding, I immediately went back to what I was doing. A few moments later I was sauteing chicken.That's when I noticed Ali coming out of his room. "Have you rested?" I asked him.He nodded but his eyes were on what I was doing. "You alright?""Y-yeah." I quickly hid the injured finger."Are you sure? It's like I heard a scream. I wondered how you were."I smiled. "Maybe you just made
