Andrei P.O.V.
It's been 2 weeks since I found out the truth and f-ck. I am missing her so much!
"Son that's enough, you're almost neglecting yourself" mom snatched the bottle of wine I was drinking.
"Mom let me drink" I tried to grab the bottle that mom stole from me but she missed it. I sighed "Mom"
She stared at me sharply "Son that's enough please, I know you're hurting and you badly miss Eliana. We are too! And I'm hurt to see you like that."
"what are you trying to say mom?" there was a mixture of annoyance in my tone.
"Eliana needs you the most right now" mom's tears rolled down her cheeks "After all what we did to her she still managed to protect you" her tears fall down "We owe her your life Son and we need to find her before yet those who threaten your life will find her "
"Mom we don't even know if Eliana is still alive" i hugged her tightly "there is no sign that she is alive, even Ria, Neil and Manang don't know"
"Didn't Eliana say anything to Ria before leaving?" Mom asked in surprise.
I nodded "They fought before Eliana leaves"
"WHAT?" she said in shock "Why did they fight? They're best friends since preschool"
"Because of me ..." I whispered "I raped her mom multiple times, and ria found out that. She let Eliana choose whether it's me or them" I hate you Andrei! You're such a big jerk.
“And she chose you?” I nod. I cried on mom's shoulder.
"Ijo, you have a visitor," said Manang.
"Andrei" Neil called me.
"Do you have an update yet?" I asked weakly. 'Please tell me there is' my mind tells.
"Someone sent a video" and presented his cellphone "From Mr.Jairo Smith"
"He's kinda familiar" I promised.
"He got Eliana" what?
"And Eliana says something, watch this!"
"Good evening This is Mr. Jairo Smith, I'm with Eliana Bartolome now." He pointed the camera at Eliana who is now eating on all fours?
"Mi Amore, come here" Eliana nodded "Mi amore come here" repeating it that makes me annoyed.
"I don't want to, it's you who came here" Eliana's eyebrows met.
"Fine! Come on say something that" it'll just take what Eliana is eating while Eliana takes it away.
"Get there"
"Arghhh! Eliana..." irritated the man "Okay fine, Say something about your husband"
"I don't have a husband" seemed to tear my heart out at what Eliana said.
"Mi Amore, we already talked about this, haven't we?" He asked calmly...
Eliana nodded "Aish! Why do you still need a video of me? I can just send a letter"
"You have to show up, Now say something about your husband"
"How is Andrei? Is no one threatening him? I hope Andrei is okay there. Misty is with him though." Her voice weakened when she mentioned Misty. "Mr. Kenneth Guerrero is one of those who have a similar business by Andrei "Guerrero? Rank 2 in the business world?
"Your husband" He inserted.
Eliana looked at him badly "I'm not her wife anymore! We're annulled and she's married!" She shouted.
"Calm down, that's bad foryou" bad?
"I'll report you to mom" Mom? Her parents are dead. Who’s mom? "So as I say, Mr. Guerrero wants to overthrow Andrei. He wants to lead instead of Andrei. So he used me!" She stopped and ate first.
"Hey, you can eat later" Jairo said. Who is he to make my wife like that? Psh!
"They can wait! My hunger can't wait!" She first finished her food and then gave the plate to Jairo "Go and get me some".Annoyed, he followed eliana. Bossy!
"He used me to bring down Andrei. He let me choose whether my ex -husband was alive or whether I would go away ... so I stayed away for three months. I would have had a plan but it didn't work out. I always received threats, and he always beat me up. Andrei as well as his family. So I didn't do well. Ria and I had a fight because of Andrei. Before they talked to me Andrei tried to sign that Annulment. Someone talked to me. He's Jasper Guerero, Kenneth. I didn't keep the promise so I'll be ready for what his father and I will do "Jasper? He's the man written on the paper "You need to come here tomorrow or if you don't want to talk to me quickly" She said at the same time "Aish ,where is my food? I'm so hungry!" I want to laugh at her resentment but dmn I want to cry because I miss her so much.
"How long have you been here? My food!" and the food was snatched and then left "Tell them where we are” her mouth is full of food then she spoke? What if she chokes? Gosh!
"San juan batangas near the shore where we stay, But don't worry someone will come to you there in a van and take you here"
"That's going to Andrei's house"
"Off the cameraaaa, We've already said what we should say. It's up to them whether they believe or not" annoyed Eliana "Why else did you make a video" she added.
"We need to do this mi amore, for you and your husband"
"He's not my husband anymore, remember?" she said coldly "There's another wife of him, I'll really report you to mom"
“Later our men will go there, you need to get ready. Bring one week of clothes "
"WHAT? ONE WEEK? WHY WILL THEY STAY HERE FOR ONE WEEK?" Eliana shouted.
"We've already talked about it,mi amore."
"And I'm not involved?" Eliana asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Sorry but we know you won't allow it but they don't know each other here only you... sorry mi amore." Eliana sighed and never talked again "Please don't tell anyone about this matter if you can close your business temporarily. Close it" then the video ended.
"I'm coming," I said.
"We're coming too" I looked at dad.
"We have to explain to Eliana, we believed wrong, we didn't listen to her. I want to apologize to her for everything I did, ``the tearful mom said.
"We'll come back here later" Neil said and Ria left.
"Finally son, we already know where Eli is" smiled but there was a streak of sadness in dad's smile.
"Win her back son" mom's sweet promise.
I was about to go up when I saw manang entering the kitchen so I followed her "Manang".
"Why. What can I do for you?"
"Do you want to come later? I'm sure Eli misses you so much" manang was happy with what I said and agreed.
"Promise wifey, I'm gonna win your heart back" I said while looking at our photo "I just hope it's not true what I have in mind wifey" I said softly and gently stroked the photo.
"Good evening! We are Mr. Jairo Smith's staff" introduced those men in black "I'll take you to the Smiths' mansion" we thanked them. They all slept while I didn’t know how to feel.
'I'll see you too, 'my wife said in my mind.
