Wild Vengeance 2: "The Reserved Twin" (Finished)

RESERVED ISSUE no.12

"Mattheo"

I looked at the person who called me.

"Kuya, bakit ngayon kalang nagpakita? Kuya, I am in danger. My business is in danger kuya. Someone posted a video scandal about me. Kuya, my life is in danger. Lawrence's gonna kill me. Help me!"

I was in the middle of my meeting yesterday for the expansion of my business when Lawrence showed up and punched me endlessly.
Kung hindi pa siya napigilan ng mga guards, baka nga siguro hindi na ako nakakakita ngayon dahil sa sobrang pamamaga ng mga mata ko.

I fear he already know what happened between me and Sheena. And my hunch was confirmed when he asked me 'why'.

Ayaw niyang maniwala that Sheena drugged me into doing what we did. Ako, sigurado akong wala ako sa sarili nang ginawa ko iyon kasama si Sheena. I was under the custody of aphrodisiac. And Lawrence won't believe me.

Hindi ko alam kung paano niya nalaman ang nangyari between me and Sheena. And then he showed me the video that was posted. It was me and Sheena doing it. And upon reading the caption, namuo ang galit sa loob ko. Who would do such thing to me? Wala naman akong kaaway this past days.

Kaagad akong umuwi ng bahay, dismissing the meeting. I was calling Sheena but her phone was dead.
Hindi ako nakatulog kakaisip kung sino ang possibleng may gawa saakin nun.
I was so stressed.

I was stressed thinking about Mia's sudden departure, kung bakit hindi niya nagawang hintayin manlang ako or even call me to say goodbye.

Now, this.

"You're not the only one who's fucked up."

"What do you mean, kuya?"

Inilabas niya ang cellphone niya and played a video. And my eyes grew bigger.

"I-ikaw din, kuya?"

"Hindi lang ikaw at ako."

From being shocked, I am now confused looking at the clips kuya Mafyia's making me watch.
Mayroon din si Ashlann at Youseff. Bakit meron din sila?

"What is happening kuya?"

"Hindi ko din alam, Theo. That is why we will fetch Ashlann and Youseff para alamin kung may alam ba sila sa mga nangyayari ngayon. But I think I have an idea who did this to me."

"The press are outside. Hindi tayo makakalabas."

"We'll go out using the gate at the backyard. I parked my car there. Doon ako dumaan kanina and it's clear."

I wore my sunglasses to hide my eyes. Unlike yesterday, hindi na masyadong namamaga ang mga mata ko but it still hurts. And it started to darken.

"Manang, ikaw na muna ang bahala dito. May aasikasuhin lang kami ni kuya."

"Sige, Mattheo. Mag-iingat kayong dalawa."

"Nakarating na ba itong balita kina mama at papa?"

"I think hindi pa. Kakaalis lang nila nung isang araw to go to Hawaii. They are probably enjoying themselves right now. Sana lang hindi pa nila malaman ang tungkol dito."

Kaagad niyang pinaandar ang sasakyan niya right after we got in. And we drove to Ashlann's since mas malapit ang bahay niya saamin.

Maraming press ang nakita namin sa may gate palang. As expected. At dahil walang backyard gate sina Ashlann, wala kaming ibang choice but to face the press.

"Mga kasama, ang magkapatid na Lacson."
A reporter shouted at kaagad na nagpaunahan papunta saamin ang mga reporter.

"Sir Mafyia Lacson, totoo po ba ang nasa video?"
