“That’s enough, I won’t repeat what I did to you. So I feel sorry for you first, let go of that knife, Natasha.”
“Why would I listen to you Louie after all you have done to me will I remain your servant. I am no longer your Natasha who is submissive to your wishes. This is your thing ..”
“Don’t.” Louie woke up to Natasha’s pat on him.
“You had a dream,” told his wife.
“Yes, I’m sorry we woke up.” Natasha never spoke again and turned away.
The next day…
Kyla called Gio early, she would have asked if Naneth was together.
Gio said that they were not together before Naneth went home because they had a misunderstanding.
“Why? Didn’t Naneth come home to your apartment?
“Not really! Last night I was still waiting for her, I thought you were together so I was complacent. Where is she Naneth? I can’t contact her either! His phone is off.” Kyla replied.
“Oh! I shouldn’t have let her take a taxi.”
“Do you remember the plate number of the taxi?”
Gio tried to remember the plate number of the taxi, he remembered that then he and Kyla went to the precinct to make a blotter of what happened to Naneth and to see who owned the car.
“Boss can we complain because my fiancé went missing yesterday, she took a taxi and this is the plate number.” The police looked at it and said that someone also complained that he was a taxi driver of a vehicle with the same license plate number. The police pointed to the man who was making the statement.
“Excuse me, do you have a car with this plate number?” Gio looked at what he had written on the paper.
“Yes, I am not the owner but I was the one who drove that car. I’m also here because the taxi I’m driving has a car nap. I don’t know who it is but I remember his face.” Driver’s answer.
“Can you sketch his face?”
“It’s okay,”
“Maybe we know that man who is the taxi driver you are driving. My fiancé was on board there and her friend said that she hadn’t come home yet, there was a possibility that that stupid man had abducted her.” Disgusted Gio said.
“I’m sure sir, but I don’t know what’s going on, I hope I can find your fiancé.”
~~~~~
“You?! How did you live?”
“Why Naneth? You can’t believe I’m still alive?
“I can’t, didn’t your auntie bury you?
“You know that can be deceptive. I’m just grateful to the one who saved me. So let’s go in.” He grabbed Naneth’s hand tightly and dragged it inward.
Naneth struggled because she didn’t want to enter.
“Can you let me go, I don’t want to enter that house,” Struggling says Naneth.
“It’s better if you just follow, maybe you’ll give birth before that time.”
“You are a bastard, I don’t think you’re related to me! Who ordered you? ” the man slapped Naneth, and she drowned.
“You were hurt, when you were told to be quiet, be quiet because your shout was deafening.”
They had reached the door of the house, as she stared across the house she remembered something.
Flashback…
“Where am I, whose house is this? Are there people there?”
“Hey! Child, keep quiet or you will be charmed by me.” The answer of the aged man.
“Who are you? I feel sorry for you, please take me back to my auntie Lora, auntie….” Naneth cried with an accompanying cry.
The man was about to hurt Naneth but he still managed to stop her. “Didn’t I tell you not to make noise? You are here to be my slave so do your job or I will not feed you.”
“I want to go back to my auntie Lora, please huhu!” cried Naneth.
Naneth’s tears flowed as she remembered the times she was a slave to the Tan family and that was their first home.
“Why did you bring me here?”
“Don’t ask any more questions, my boss will just order.”
“Your boss? Mr. Tan, Is it Gilbert? ”
“You know, why are you still asking?”
“You are shameless, you are enslaved to money again. Your wickedness will also end, you beast.”
“I don’t care what you say Naneth.” The man pulled Naneth inside.
Robin and Gilbert greeted him.
“You?! But I’m not surprised because you’re the only villain in my life.”
“Shut up Naneth, you’re still very brave even if you’re alone and still pregnant.” Said Gilbert.
“What do you need from me? Why did you kidnap me from my uncle’s wickedness?”
“It’s really your talk, sit down first and I’ll just call someone.” Said Gilbert.
He picked up his phone. He dialed as if he was talking to someone on the other line. Then he lowers it.
“Poor Naneth, I’m sure Gio is already confused about where to look for you.” Said Robin.
Naneth spat at Robin. And he should have slapped Naneth when Deme shouted.
“Robin, that’s enough. Let’s just wait for them.”
“Who are you referring to, uncle?”
“You will also know who they are.”
~~~~~
At Alpha Private Company…
“I called you Amer and Franco because I want to tell you your question about who Gio is because we are blood-related and I want you to know the truth. Gio was my adopted son, the son of Gilbert’s other woman who ordered me to throw her body into the river with the child but I felt guilty. I’m not a bad person so I saved the child, Gilbert had no idea what I did. I hid for a few years until I met the old man I had helped and I did not know that he was rich. When he died he left me all his property so including this company which is his legacy and continues to grow. I educated Gio in America and until now he did not know that I was not his real father. Another problem I have is Naneth because she will marry Gio, I don’t know how she will react when she finds out that Gio is the son of the person she hates and maybe she got angry with me because I didn’t tell her the truth.” Roel’s long story.
Amer and Franco were stunned, that was the real story.
“Brother, what are you going to do now? You’re so caught up in the situation.”
“I’m having a hard time Franco I don’t know how to explain to Gio.”
“I hope he accepts uncle and he understands the situation that you are just protecting him against his dad.”
“Yes, Amer! But I am ready for what may happen, I will accept whatever Gio’s reaction to me will be because I also hid the truth from him for several years.” Roel said sadly.
Suddenly his phone rang, and Gilbert called him.
“Hello, what do you need?”
“Nothing, I just want to talk to you. Because we haven’t seen each other for a long time! I will show you something you will surely like. If you are interested, find me later. I’ll send you the location, just make sure you don’t bring the police.”
“Why would I bring the police, why? Did you do something wrong and are you afraid I will bring the police. ” Roel replied.
“Ah! Just don’t bring the police. ”
Their conversation ended and Gio called him correctly.
“Hello, Dad! Are you busy?”
“It’s not so much a child, Amer, and Franco and I just talked, why do you need anything?
“Kyla and I are here at the precinct to get information on Naneth’s whereabouts.”
“What?! Why? Where is Naneth? ”
“She’s a missing dad, so we’re looking for her,” Gio replied.
“All right, we’ll go there.”
“Brother, what did Gio say?”
“Naneth seems to have disappeared last night.”
“What?! Amer and Franco were answered at the same time. Dominic was right to come in to sign the papers for approval.
“Oh! What is going on and why are you confused?”
“We had to leave because Gio called that they were in the precinct saying they had blotted out Naneth’s disappearance.”
“What?! I will come too.”
“Okay Dominic, take Amer and Franco and me to go to the precinct with Gio and Kyla.”
“All right, sir Roel.”
They quickly left. When they arrived at the precinct, Gio told Naneth what had happened.
“I have a suspicion as to who abducted Naneth that animal Gilbert.” Said Roel.
“Why did you say that dad?”
“Because Gilbert just called me and said he wanted to talk to me so I wouldn’t make the mistake of bringing the police.”
“Maybe Naneth was there.” Said Kyla.
“What’s your plan brother?”
“Just wait! Brother?! Why did you call my dad brother?” Gio asked in astonishment.
“Gio, don’t think about that first now you will also know why it is important that we save Naneth because she is still pregnant.”
Gio never asked again. His dad ordered them to separate first, Gio and I would go first to the location sent by Gilbert and they would just message what was complete.
They took immediate action.
~~~~~
“What! Take me back to Gio.”
“Wait Naneth, Gio will come here too.” Said Robin.
“Why? What are your plans!?
“We will take you hostage so that Roel and Gio can show up,” Gilbert replied.
“What?! You are not ashamed Mr. Tan, you still need to empathize with them if you have a problem with me, I just don’t want other people to empathize with you.”
“Someone else?! Do you think Roel is someone else for you? Haha!”
“Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny I said?” Naneth’s bold answer.
“You are still so stupid until now you don’t know your boss? Until now you are still innocent and no one knows.” Roel replied.
“As much as you say, first tell me what you mean,” Naneth replied.
“Wait! You are so excited to know right from his mouth.”
~~~~~
Lora visited the precinct again to ask Abigail.
“How are you, Abigail? Do you have any news about this please talk to me? ”
Abigail was silent and she began to speak.
“Mrs. Reyes, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my dad, he is very guilty of your sister-in-law. They didn’t meet at the mall as I told you. But the truth is, they met in an accident caused by my dad. He told me that he was drunk driving the car because it was speeding and he did not realize that someone was crossing, he just heard a crash in front of his car. Fortunately, mom was not reprimanded. So he immediately took her to the hospital. Her brain was damaged so she could not remember her past, Dad used that opportunity so he married mom who was not in the right frame of mind because he lost his memory.” Abigail’s story.
“Are you sure with what you’re saying?”
“Yes, dad himself confessed in front of me. I was angry because what he did was bad.”
“The intensity of your dad, too, has not been imprisoned while you are already incarcerated,” Lora replied.
“I’m sorry I hope you’re not angry with me. I also didn’t like what dad did but I wasn’t there at the time.” Abigail said sadly.
Lora felt sorry for Abigail so she understood Abigail’s situation.
~~~~~
Gilbert staff approached saying there was a vehicle coming from outside.
“What Naneth, are you excited to see them?”
Gio and Roel were about to enter when they were surprised to see Naneth with the gun pointed at her head held by Gilbert.
“Welcome Mr. Reyes, long time no see.”
“What are you doing Gilbert, don’t try to hurt Naneth because I won’t let you down,” Roel replied.
“Relax, you’re hot. It is not my intention but you. But because Naneth is connected to your life, she is also involved.” Gilbert replied.
“What do you mean Mr. Tan? I’ve heard you want to punch someone before.” Naneth said.
“Shut up, you’ll also know. Just try to fight, you’ll break your head.” Gilbert shouted.
Do they get to know that long-hidden secret?
