"Don Rafael, this is big problem. Our European investors are backing out. This is gonna be a big trouble if we cannot stop it." Sambit ng isa sa manager ng kumpanya.

"What has been happening? What triggered this?" Sambit ni Don Rafael.

"We don't know yet. Sa lahat ng pwedeng mag-back out European investors pa. They are our biggest investors. Wala pa naman ngayon dito si Sir Vladimir." Sambit ng isa manager sa kompanya.

"He's in France right now. Trying to win her wife back. I'll call him to do some damage control. Baka magawan ng paraan habang nandoon siya ngayon sa France." Sambit ni Don Rafael.

Dalawang linggo na si Vladimir sa France pero walang nangyayari sa paghahanap niya sa asawa.

He's at the point na hindi na niya alam ang gagawin.

Doon naman siya nakatanggap ng tawag mula sa kanyang lolo.

" Lo...kamusta?"Sambit ni Vladimir pagkasagot niya ng telepono na matamlay ang boses.

"I'm OK. How's it going? How is she?" Tanong ni Don Rafael.

"I haven't seen her Lo... I can't find her..." Sambit ni Vladimir na tila nagsusumbong sa lolo.

"Sorry apo... But I have to add some more burden. May problema tayo sa kumpanya." Sambit ni Don Rafael na kung may paraan lang ay hindi niya muna iistorbohin ang apo.

"What is it lolo?" Tanong ni Vladimir.

"Our European investors are backing out Vladimir. It's gonna be a mess if they would." Sambit ni Don Rafael.

"Shit! What happened Lo? Tell me..." Sambit ni Vladimir.

"We don't know yet. Since you're in there, try to talk to them about it. There should still be a way to stop this." Sambit ni Don Rafael.

"I will... And I'm sorry Lo... I should have been there." Sambit ni Vladimir.

"I'm glad you're not. Because right now... I know how much you value the core if your soul... Zera..." Sambit ni Don Rafael.

"Thank you Lo... I will fix this I promise. Don't worry ok...?" Sambit ni Vladimir.

"Alright... But when you come home... Don't forget to bring your wife..."Sambit ni Don Rafael.

Marcos is in a meeting right now with his right hand.

"Everything is going according to plan Count. It's easy with all your connections." Sambit ng kanang kamay ni Marcos.

"Don't underestimate him. I may hate him that much for he did to my daughter but I must admit that he's the real deal when it comes to business." Sambit ni Count Marcos na seryoso pa rin.

"Yes Count." Sambit ng kanang kamay niya.

"Remember I want him to be in a position where he is in the verge of falling. Make sure he doesn't fall just yet." Sambit ni Count Marcos.

"Yes Count. I'll go ahead." Sambit ng kanang kamay ni Count Marcos at tumango na lang ito.

Nang makalabas ang kausap ni Marcos ay ang ina naman ang pumasok sa opisina ng anak sa kanilang bahay.

"What do you think you're doing Marcos?" sita ni Margarret sa anak.

"Mother... How long have you been there...?" Tanong ni Marcos sa ina.

"Long enough to hear your plans... Now answer me. What are you doing?" Sambit Margarret.

Hindi sumasagot si Marcos nanatiling tahimik.

"You are crushing him Marcos. Do you think that is right?" Mariing Sambit ni Margarret sa anak pero ayaw pa rin sumagot nito.

"Answer me! You think that Is right?" Pag uulit ni Margarret sa anak.
