Back in the hospital, Lisa was still by her elder sister’s bed, hoping she gets out of the coma. With all these things happening, she could not help but regret ever betraying her ex-husband, Pedro. “I really wish Pedro can be lenient towards me, my sister and my auntie. Even if it’s just the video he takes down, it will lessen our pain”. She said to herself. “I better check online, to see if there are more interactions and reactions to my post, I made of Pedro and the Del Monte family”. She thought to herself. She took out her phone, to go online and see the latest engagements on her post.“What? What is this? Why can’t I log into my account? Is this some kind of network glitch or something?” Lisa kept wondering in utmost confusion about what was happening with her account. She could not log on to her social media account, as she made numerous attempts.“Maybe it is bad network reception. These telecommunications services have these kind of issues sometimes. I will just check ba
“I will have to make a complaint to the social media company, so they rectify this issue. My account can’t just be deactivated, without any reason”.Lisa said to herself, as she still made another attempt, getting into her house, the next morning, after she arrived from the hospital. “I feel mentally exhausted to the point of crying. I do not know what to do about all of these things happening to I, my sister and my auntie”. Lisa felt depressed, as she placed her hand under her chin, sitting down at the dinning table. She was indeed in a tight position.“What is it this time? Who is that calling? Can’t someone just have a minute’s rest?”She crumbled, as she sluggishly got up to pick her phone up, which she had left at the parlor, as she came into the house. It was an unknown number, calling. Lisa picked up the phone.“Who is this?!”She said aggressively, after she answered the phone.“Good morning Ma’am, is this Miss Lisa?”The person asked. It was a female voice, over the phone.
Lisa left the police station and headed to The Del Monte’s estate, to see Pedro. At this point she did not know what else to do, to salvage the situation. She just went over there, hoping to get something done. “Ma’am, hold on a minute. Sorry, I can’t let you go in”.The estate security, spread his arms wide open, preventing Lisa from going into the estate. She had arrived the estate, all frustrated and was about storming into the estate, but was stopped at the gate by the estate security.“Let me go through now!”She exclaimed in anger. Her hair pin had even fallen off, making her hair look unkept, as it was not packed. She looked like a psychopath who was about causing trouble. “Go tell your boss, Pedro, I am here to see him”. She said to the estate security, breathing heavily. “Oh ma’am, apologies, but that is impossible”He replied her.“And why impossible, if I may ask? Let me guess; he has asked you, not to let me in”. She said to the estate security, with a sinister smile
“Today is the day I start closing in on taking possession of that house”. Pedro said to himself, waking up that morning of the day for the court hearing. It was the D-day already. As usual, Pedro got up, got into the bathroom to take a shower, had breakfast already prepared and the table set by Roseline, got out of the shower, dressed up and lastly, headed downstairs to eat breakfast.“Good morning Master, looking good as always”.Said Roseline, to Pedro, with a smile.“Feeling good as always, Roseline. A very good morning to you”. Pedro replied, with a smile also.“Is it just me or you feel really confident about this case?”Roseline asked him.“Trust me Roseline. It’s not just you. I actually feel hundred percent confident”.He replied her.“Correct me if I am wrong, Master. If I know you, you are one person who doesn’t leave things to chance. I take it that, you will be winning this case between you and that slut, Lisa? As a matter of fact, what are her chances of she winning th
Lisa, had not contacted any attorney for the case, since she did not have the financial resources to get one. That morning, she just sat in her living room, thinking about her life.“Now, what do I do? I have no money to hire a legal counsel to help me out with this case”. She thought to herself.Her phone rang. She took a look at the screen and it was Pedro calling her. “Why is this bastard calling? I’m sure he wants to make mockery of me. If not that, why else will he be calling me?” She said to herself.“Yes? What do you want from me now?”She said to Pedro, after she had picked up the phone.“Easy now. Just calling in to let you know, the court session is about to start”. Pedro replied her.“And you think I do not know that?” She asked him.“Well, you might have fooled me there. It’s five minutes to 10AM and you are not even here yet. How would one believe that, you have not forgotten about the hearing for today?” Replied Pedro. “Well, I know it is today. Quit being a jerk
Roseline had arrived The Del Monte company the same morning Pedro went to the court. Alexander had asked her to come straight to his office. “Hey Roseline, how you this morning? Do have a seat” Alexander said to her, while flipping through a book, as soon as she walked into his officer. “Good morning Alex, I am okay”.She replied him, as she sat down.“Do you know what this is?” He asked her, pointing into a page of the book, as he flipped through it. “No, I don’t know what it is. But do tell me, please”.She replied Alex. “These are records from our sub-company, which Don Michaelson was head of operations. You wouldn’t believe the things that are in here”. He said to Roseline. “We have seen the ledgers, inventories and other records showing the illegal activities of Don Michaelson, in that company. I managed to get them myself, which we made copies and handed over to the police, to aid their investigations. I am sure this should be one of such records, you have there”. Rosel
“Hello detective, calling in to check up on you. It has been a while, since our last conversation”.Pedro called the investigating police officer of the Don Michaelson case, Detective Harry, after he got off the phone with Roseline.“Good day Mr. Del Monte, Right you are. Everything is going on just fine”.The detective replied Pedro.“How’s investigations going on, with the case of our person of mutual interest?”. Pedro asked.“Very well. We have carried out investigations and are in the final phase of it. Soon we will be ready to charge the case to court. Be rest assured of that”. Detective Harry replied Pedro. “I hope our arrangements still stand? Him being well taken care of, if you understand my drift”.Pedro enquired of the detective.“Of course, sir. Don Michaelson has been well taken care of by his cell counterparts, ever since he arrived here”. The detective replied.He made sure Don Michaelson got beaten up at least twice in a week, which was facilitated by Pedro.“I hav
“Hello Morata, it has been a while”.Josephine said to him, after Morata picked up the phone call. It was the man who they hoped to get money from.“Hey Josephine, I should say that you. You stopped calling me, texting me and never came over to my house. Thought you got married or something”.Morata said to her. “Hah! Me? Married? Don’t flatter me Morata. At this age you think I am looking to get married? No way”.She said to him, while she giggled.“Hehehe. Forgive me. I thought you forgot about all the fun we use to have. So, how are you these days, Josephine?”.Morata said to her.“I’m not alright, my dear Morata”.She replied.“How so my ever sweet Josephine? What seems to be the problem?”Morata asked her.“To start with, one of my nieces is in a coma and her younger sister, Lisa, is going through a very rough time. For me, I am broke and have nothing. We have not been able to clear out the hospital bills of my niece, and it keeps accumulating. The hospital says, we have to make
