AT THE HIDEOUT.

Stephanie was fast asleep when RAD’s men returned. She was fast asleep while still cuffed to the floor. "Pour the water on her!" RAD commanded. They lashed out a bucket filled with chilled water. Stephanie let out an excruciating cry as she writhed and shrieked from the effects of the cold water.

"I have done nothing to deserve this from you all." She cried, getting up from the floor. "You asked to see me, I can’t talk to you in that state; I had to wake you up," RAD uttered coldly. Stephanie mussed as she shivered. "Sit her up," They unlocked the cuffs on her legs and sat her up on the chair. "You’ve spent just a few hours here and you look so miserable; more reason why you should tell me what I want and go your way,"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about; who sent you?" Stephanie asked. "My client's secret is to be protected; where is the seal? Where is her will? What’s the password?" RAD arced.

    AT BRANDON’S MANSION"Yes! I am not over her, so deal with it!""You’re really admitting that to my face?" Vanessa asked ragingly. "Even after all she did to you?" Vanessa added."Is it that hard to love me? and Esmeralda, what’s with her?""Nothing; just cooperate with me," Brandon replied. "I hate you!" Vanessa yelled. "Don’t touch me," she shouted at Brandon’s men. They walked Vanessa in. "Boss, I have bad news.""What is it?" "Randall, he’s dead; we were ambushed, and it got too late to save him.""Just shut up and get out! A simple mistake from you all, how on earth will you underestimate and trust someone? Go Now! Find Torillio! No, I’ll call him; I am not scared of him." "Enough of these people testing me and my patience!" Brandon yelled.Brandon put a call through to Torillio. He warned him and threatened to take down his men in exchange for just one that he took. "Sir Brandon, I think we should look into this; it might be a setup," Estrellia urged. "Yeah, a set-u

    AT Jordan Vera Dona’s house.Kimberly was unrestful, raveling to and fro as she pondered the response she would get. Working on not losing her guard and keeping it uptight, she sent some spies to check out her uncle; he received a highly profiled tip that was investigated. The maid returned. "Ma'am, I almost got caught, but I escaped," she uttered terrifically as she walked in."You’re here; what did you get? I'll pay you handsomely.""He received a call, and he’s up to arrest someone; I couldn’t find out who it was; it was a message on his phone; he also instructed his men to set the car, they will leave soon.""Is he carrying out the operation alongside the government orders or on his own?" Kimberly asked. "On his own, ma’am, he’s going with just his trusted man; the person he is going to arrest must be high profile," the maid responded lightly. "That’s better. I can easily tell my men to track them down no matter where they go," "Ahhh, i have someone in mind,"Kimberly calle

    At the glass house. Brandon’s phone rang out of the blue, and he paused his discussion with Don Soriano to receive the call. "Esmeralda? What’s up?" he asked,"Call your men off now! Don’t go against Torillio, at least not yet," Esmeralda warned. "He killed Randall; I am sure you must have heard that too." Brandon replied rudely. "Yes, believe me, if you strike now, it won’t be worth it; take your time, trust me," Esmeralda replied. "Thanks, but no," Brandon replied coldly and ended the call. He returned to the sitting room. "Who was that?" his father asked. "Esmeralda," he replied, sitting on the couch next to Don Soriano. "Before the little incident that happened to me, I wanted you to get along well with Esmeralda; why did you go for Kimberly?""It’s personal; why do you want me to go for Esmeralda?" Brandon asked. "You are one of the five; soon your enemies will rise; all these ones you’re seeing are little," Don Soriano arced."Are you threatening me?""No, my son, I w

    AT THE JEWELRY STORE."Boss, should we turn around? Our men haven’t called to say anything today; it’s unusual," Santiago pulled over."Keep driving; I need to drop by immediately. We aren’t waiting for long," Santiago said, returning to driving. They got to the jewelry store, and everything was normal. "I told you everything is fine; we didn’t need to come; can we go back now? I noticed you’ve been paranoid since that incident with Brandon’s men," Torillio said. He noticed a light on the door knob."Stand down, Santiago," Torllio whispered."PST," a silent gunshot went through Santiago’s heart; it was too late to lay low as Torillio commanded. The shooting started sporadically inside the jewelry store. Torillio wasn’t armed, and it was unusual. He found his way sneakily into his office and took his gun. He returned to the mall, but they were already moving."Ten men down plus the main aim!" One of their attackers yelled into the walkie-talkie with him as they frowned down on the atta

    AT RAD’S HIDEOUT."Tell you boss, I am ready to do what he wants," Stephanie writhed. "Have you decided on how you want to die? Last time you spoke, I remembered that was the parting gift he has for you," they responded with snarling laughter."Please just call him; I can’t stay here any longer," Stephanie pleaded. She has gone a few days without eating. She was scared they would harm her if she took any of the meals they brought for her. "Fine, I will call him; make sure you’re on track this time or you'll see what would happen otherwise," they replied. One of them stepped out to call RAD’s top man. "Come, she’s ready to talk; you can inform the boss," he reported sharply."I will soon be there with you; I have been trying to reach the boss, but he hasn’t been picking up," he replied."Wait, then don’t show up here; we can’t make her suspect that you’re not the real RAD.""I am almost there already; don’t worry, I will set things straight.

    RAD got a text from the real boss telling him to meet up with some women, but he needed to be careful. He sent the location and the time he was to meet her."Guys, I think the boss just replied, but it’s not about Stephanie; he probably hasn’t seen her," he said to his men. "What does he want us to do?" they asked, ready to attack."Nothing big; he wants us to pick some women up," he replied. RAD showed them the location, and they left the glass house vicicnity to the said location. It was on the outskirts of the Philippines. "Why would someone be here? We still haven't seen her, and it’s almost midnight," RAD complained."You better get used to it; your life is on the line, and anytime you snooze, you lose it," one of the men threatened."Say less; I know what I signed up for. I have been trying to get more information, at least the woman’s picture, but nothing is forthcoming; he’s not replying to all my questions," RAD replied. "I saw some women there in that white old Peu

    Brandon went to his apartment immediately he left the glass house. Madrigal was first to welcome him back. “How did it go?” he asked. “It went well, my discussion with my father wasn’t concluded though,” Brandon added, Madrigal joined him inside the house. “You did a good job with Torillio, the bastard called me,” Brandon aside to Estrellia. “I want things to keep going on this way, where is the file I requested for?” Brandon asked Madrigal.“Gotten sir and secure, it wasn’t too hard to get past the security, it could be because she wasn’t around, how far with the arrest? We haven’t heard any news yet,” Madrigal replied. “Jordan Vera-Dona is a principled man, I don’t think he’s one to keep such a thing away form the face of the public,” Marcellus contributed. “Hailey is a high profiled criminal and she’s been declared wanted by the police, there’s a possibility they hide it,” Nathalie responded. “No, something is definitely wrong,” Brandon retorted. “You mean she bribed

    How we ended

    THREE YEARS LATER. Brandon brushed his long golden hair to one side as he carried a little girl with curled blonde hair in his arm as a young, tall boy stood next to him. "Mummy," the little girl said, forcing herself down into his strong arms to greet a woman who seemed to have attracted her attention. "Vanessa, we missed you." Brandon hugged and kissed her. "It was just three days; stop acting like I spent the whole year away, and it was fun—sure, you don't want us to come together with you?" she asked, leaning on his strong arms. "Take care of the kids; I need to go now." Brandon planted a kiss on her head. "Keep the family safe till Daddy returns!" he said, roughening the young boy’s hair. "Please be safe; we’ll be waiting for you at home." Vanessa kissed him, and he smacked her ass. "Stop—the children are here!" Brandon entered the garage at the back of the building. Dragging out a black power bike parked at the edge of the wall, he covered the helmet and start

    BRANDON. "When we get to the glass house, go back to Manila and make sure none of our men are left behind; this is my home; I’ll be fine," Brandon said to the pilot. "No, boss, I’ll protect you with my life; Estrellia, Madrigal, and Nathalie are there; I can vouch they’ll protect Vanessa and our men," he responded baravely. "Then stop here; I want to go in unnoticed," Brandon commanded. He told the pilot the signal to give if he needed him to return for him. I discovered something strange and haven’t confirmed it, but right now you’re the only one I can trust. I am on my way from death to life, whatever comes up. At least one of us deserves to know the truth. Meet me at the glass house. The truth lies there. Brandon read the text. Olvido sent him the second time. He tried opening the gates, but no one was there, and he got in by himself, which was strange. The lounge room was also opened. He got in quietly when he noticed some movements. "Where are you, Olvido?" He

    MADRIGAL. "How do I find her easily without getting spotted? Madrigal brooded, sreching, with his eyes all over the place as he hid behind a door. Leaving the room where Brandon was fighting with Frederick and Torillio was hard, but he knew he would be fine without him.A masked man snooping around for any intruder stepped into Madrigal’s trap. He zapped his neck from behind and slid him behind the door with him. "Sorry man—I need your uniform and this shady mask.""Vanessa!" "Vanessa!! Vaa—" "What are you doing here?" He alarmed, running to meet injured Brandon, forcefully dragging himself as he continued fending off RAD and Torillio’s men. "We walked into a trap; Fredrick is not RAD; Torillio was also fooled, and he’s fighting. I called our men; they’ll be arriving a bit late; they blew up my airline." Brandon’s breathing was over his chest. His leg was bleeding, and he tied it with a piece of cloth.Madrigal felt so much pity for him. He had gone through hell, and now w

    ANDALLIO. “You’re uselss, you’re fat and dumb”“You can’t even lift yourself and you think I need your help?” “You’re a failure! You failed at everything,” “Get out of my head!” Andallio wailed smashing the glass of liquor in his hand against the telivison screen in his room. He walked down to the swimming pool at the lass house. “It is over, I won, they’ll kill theirseleevs and destroy it all—and me Andallio Ramirez will become the owner of it all,” He mused with a smile and leaped inside the pool. The perfecet plan crossed his mind after his call to Brandon. Torillio and Arturo would become a menace to him in the future if he helped them get what they wanted form Brandon. Fredrick was also he sore he was planning to remove at all cost. When he was calm form the drugs he gave him, Andallio made him an irresistible offer. The revenge he has always wanted to have on Brandon for dragging the face of the Silverrio’s in the mud and running his family. Fredrick’s ego

    BRANDONThe call with RAD seemed so unreal and strange. Brandon needed more answers. "How did she end up with him?" He asked his team to work hard to track down the number. They were back at the mansion, but he didn't stay."Where is Esmeralda?" Is she in the mansion?" he asked Natahlie. "Yes boss, I guess they’re packing, but they haven’t left.He raced up to his room to get the original documents from his safe. "Do you think she’ll talk if we give her?" Madrigal asked him closely, knowing how important it was to his plans. "My child, I need to confirm if it’s true; I can save Vanessa, but if he’s really pregnant, the babay might die; you know RAD, he’s brutal; I’ll do anything to save my child," Brandon responded, picking it up and closing the safe. "Esmeralda, come; we should have a word before you leave; your mother can leave," Brandon roared. Esmerald didn’t respond; she kept rolling her travel bag behind Hailey. "Look at this—you want it right?" Brandon wiggled the

I'll hit him with every inch of my strength," he holererd lifitntg his heart in his voice. "I won’t let Lamar’s death slide, they knew he was coming for me, they killed him right before me and I couldn’t do a thing," Brandon packed his hair with his hands and faced up to the rain. "Your days are numbered, he viled, taking the lead inside the PROVOCATOR;s night club. He returned ot the VVIP spot with Madrigal. " Zino—call him up, to meet me here, I’ll pay whatever ti cost to bring him out of whatever hole he’s stuck in," Brandon graved his voice sild with anger and an itch for revenege.

" This is what will happen to anyone who goes against me, I can’t wait to see Fredricks’ reaction when he watches this—" he chocked, laughing. Where's the tape?" he asked worriedly and the gave it to him. Lamar was so close to handling it over o him and he ad ot take aderastic step to get him out. " Pople will do anything for money, do you believe that my last minute genius plan wanst a oart of my plan?" he asked his men beaming with pride. " You’re an ultra genius boss; Lamar outsmarted us, he didn’t had over the evidence o Bardon at his house but insisted on a meet, if Brandon had come ealier we would have sabotaged all your plans," one of his men responded telling him the truth he loved to hear.

    TORILLIO. The thunder struck strongly; the cloud was darkened, and it rained heavily. Torillio lurked on the balcony on top of his house looking at the other houses in the street and the lightened up neighborhood. " I used to enjoy these," he whispered, puffing out smoke. "That phone, I found with Anton, Olvido's right-hand man, the one I almost got framed for him murder, linked with RAD, the phone repairer was found dead and the phone is missing, you caused it, I couldn't monitor him" "Arturo—you made a stupid mistake. Do I have to do everything for you?" he asked him insignificantly. Arturo was drenched, sitting in the rain. "Sorry about that. It's all gone now. Whatever happened with RAD and Anton, I think you should let it go; The girl is safe, and with me, did you take care of Olvido?" he asked him, rolling up another stunk of weed. He looked up to see Arturo, as he didn’t give a response to the question he asked him. "Cat caught your tongues, old friend? Do you rem

    DYING MOMENTS

    BRANDON.Brandon stuck his hand out in traffic. It was raining under the cloudless, serene sky. " It looks so peaceful—the kind of life I cherish is near, I can feel it," he said to Madrigal, sitting next to him in the driver's seat. "Yes Brandon—about that man, Lamar, don’t you think he’s dangerous? I didn't want you to see him," Madrigal streched adjusting his seat to fit his back, as the lane they were on wasn't moving.Lamar had met them at home earlier, before they set out. He claimed to he came there to deliver some packages to Hailey but she wasn't home. He then went ahead to ask Brandon’s men that he seeked audience with the boss." I don't think he is—and he looks familiar I just can’t fugure it out," Brandon responded as he gleaned over the car’s window. " Jordan, don’t you think he’s hdidng something? He just menstioned only Hailey—I know she’s connected to RAD but do you think he would send that much men just to defend her?" Brandon questioned him. The thouts
