AT TORRILLIO’S MANSION. Vanessa rolled to the extreme side of the bed. She woke up when she hit the wall. "Where am I?" she blurted. "Oh. No! I slept off after drinking heavily last night,""Ouch," she shouted lightly, holding her head. "I think I have a hangover," she managed to get up on her feet. She found the bathroom and washed her face. "Where is my phone? Where is everyone?" she uttered. She walked out of the room and saw just Torillio’s bodyguards in the sitting room. "Good evening, ma'am. How may we be of help to you?" One of them asked her. "Where is Torillio?" she asked sharply. "He left for work, you’ve been sleeping since morning, ma'am," he responded humbly. "That can't be; do you by any means know where he kept my phone?" Vanessa responded. They didn’t know where it was, but they offered to help her find it. "Do you have any idea where you must have left it?" "Yeah, we were at the bar when we returned; that’s all I can recall," Vanessa responded bemusedl
MANILA.Nathalie got to Manila City right on time; she was alone, and it was difficult for her to go in with a fight. “Good evening, ma'am. How may we help you?” The waiter greeted her as she entered. “Please, I need a job. Can I see the manager?” Nathalie pleaded. “I’m sorry, ma’am, there are no vacancies, and you have to apply online.” The waiter added.It was time for Nathalie to leave; overstaying would only warrant her being chased out by the security guard. Nathalie broke into crocodile tears. The waiter was moved, and he asked her to come inside their kitchen. It was spacious and neat.“There were vacancies. This place operates in shifts, but you can't get in without approval from the owner." "He loved to scrutinize his workers before allowing them in.” The waiter spilled. “Who is the owner?” Nathalie asked, curiously suppressing her emotions. “He goes by the alias RAD,” he responded. Nathalie gave Brandon the update.“You mean I can't see the manager now?” Nathalie asked him
AT TORILLIO'S MANSION. Torillio de Guzman arrived at his mansion with Santiago. “Why are you doing this, boss? Is that woman now a part of our plan?” Santiago asked him concernedly. “She’s useful!” Torillio replied bluntly ans walked out on Santiago. Vanessa was done bathing and resumed to looking for her phone. She tried calling the numbers via the other guys phone but it was turned off. Torillio walked in on her troubled. “Okay why is this damsel in distress” Torillio said as he saw her. Vanessa smiled softly. “Thanks for last night, I should have left but I couldnt figure out where I kept my phone” Vanessa replied. “We had so much to drink that’s why” Torillio responded. “You could have stopped me, I don’t drink that much. I can't handle too much drinking”Vanessa replied jokingly. “Have you checked the room you slept?” Torillio asked her sternly. “Yes, they even joined me” she pointed at his men. “Ill go help you” he responded. Torillio went up the stairs with
“Vanessa, think it through,” Torillio pulled over. “No keep driving, I made up my mind already!” she uttered confidently.“SO?” Torillio asked plyingly. Vanessa closed her eyes tightly and heaved a great sigh. “It's for Junior, I won't watch the little boy die!” Vanessa responded. “It doesn’t seem that way to me” Torilio responded. “It’s for him, isn’t it?” Torillio asked jealously. “Please don’t make this harder for me” Vanessa sent the details Brandon needed. He called back almost immediately. “Call your brother now, make sure he talks for at least two minutes or longer!” Brandon ordered and ended the call. Vanessa called Fredrick. He refused the call. She sent a text telling him she was in danger. Fredrick fell for it. “What happened to you?” Vanessa was sobbing. “I think I was drugged” She muttered tearfully. “Vanessa are you okay? Just stay there, I will be there. Have you called Fidelin?” He asked. “It's too late, I’m sorry” Vanessa sobbed. “Stop crying, talk to me, where are
AT RAD'S HIDEOUT.Vanessa Jumped out of Torillio’s car and ran towards the helicopter. She MET only Marcellus in there. “Where is Brandon? is he okay?” Vanessa asked worriedly. Marcellus detached the earphone and helped her inside.“So far, yes," he responded. "Why that face?" Vanessa responded quiverily."He's been threatened. I hope he doesn't lose his son!”“How? Who's threatening him?” Vanessa questioned. She saw a convoy arrive and her and Marcellus hid and watched. They were relieved when they saw them.It was Estrellia and her men.They had arrived, and it was about a hundred of them and Brandon had to tell them to stand down. He heard Junior's voice. He didn’t what them to hurt his son. Especially when he’s so close to rescuing him. “Did you see my brother?” Vanessa asked hurriedly.“No, I guess he left to save you. What are you going to do?”“I don’t know, face it when it's time,” Vanessa unereved. “Look, its Brandon!” Brandon was on top of the building with his hand
Esmeralda and Estrellia’s men went back to the ground floor. She took them to the place where she heard faint voices. "Don’t you think it’s a trap?" "I don’t care; Madrigal is in there." she snapped."Hide, the police are coming!" They wanted to drag her along with them to hide, but she refused.Estrellia’s men had to cover for Esmeralda as they went against the policemen while she continued the search for Madrigal. "Madrigal, just make a sound again if you’re here," Esmeralda yelled as she continued, searching for him.They heard the same faint sounds she heard earlier. "We need to leave, ma'am. I don’t think anyone is here.""The police have invaded the place, and I don’t think we can hold them down any longer." One of Estrellia’s men returned for Esmeralda.She was convinced she heard voices from inside and wanted to go check. "If you insist, ma’am I have no choice, but I suggest we leave just in time." The man agreed to search alongside Esmeralda. "See, there is nothing here
Esmeralda was confused after Madrigal was shot. He was bleeding too much and might die if he’s not attended to. The only people who could save his life were the police and her going to ask them for help would only mean that she would get arrested in return. Esmeralda was held to a tight corner. “I will save you Madrigal” she kissed him and called for help form the police.“Put your hands on your back and lie down on the floor” “The man is bleeding, he was shot, send the medic!”“Please stay alive just for me” Esmeralda sobbed as Madrigal was wheeled away by the police. They wanted to arrest Esmeralda but she escaped narrowly. The officer was to handcuff her but he was too slow. He underestimated her because she was a woman. She smacked him on the face and took hi gun with her. “I'm sorry Madrigal but this is the only way I can help you” she responded tearfully and ran inot hididng. She knew they would be looking for her so she went deep into the bush to where Marcellus and
"Vanessa!!!" Torillio ran towards her in a rage. Fredrick mistakenly shot her. He didn't know she would shield Brandon wholeheartedly. He escaped before the police reached the top. "Boss," "We have to go now!" Santiago yelled at Torillio, but he didn't heed his call. He held Vanessa in his hands. The police arrived, flashing their lights, and ordering everyone to put their hands down.They took Torillio with them, while the medic took Brandon and Vanessa. Brandon slowly drifted into unconsciousness. RAD's building was rounded up by the police. None of his men were caught alive, so they had no positive lead on who he was. They only had Torillio and Brandon under their custody. Estrellia arrived at the hospital in the province where Brandon and Vanessa were taken. She killed the security guard who tried to stop her and forced her way into the place where he was kept."Sorry I came late, boss. According to the rules of the Five, you’re immune to arrests from the police.""I will get
