"Ara!" Someone called.

"Sayonara gising!"

"Sayonara Lavelle please," I heard sobs. "Wag mo'kong iwan. Iuuwi pa kita kay Ms..."

Suddenly my senses came to me, I slowly open my eyes, only to find Gabriel crying as he shoulder me in his arms. I must have passed out dahil sa natamo kong sakit kay Mr. Ramirez, I slowly reach out my hand and caress Gabriel's back inorder to tell him na I'm here.

"Ara?" He asked after noticing na I'm slowly waking up.

"Gab, si Miss..." I uttered, slowly trying to get up.

"Kaya mo na ba?" He asked and I simply nod.

"We have to find her," I said then proceed to gather my gun pati nadin yung kay Mr. Ramirez na ngayon ay naka handusay na sa lapag.

Deserve.

"Naikot ko na ang buong building, wala dito si Miss." Sabi nya.

"There must be an underground here, I know this place before, dating mall ito. Pagtatayuan dapat namin ito ng commercial building kaso upon noticing the foundation we decided not to proceed dahil mahina lang ang pundasyon ng lupang kinatatayuan neto." I detailed.

"Then kailangan nating bilisan at baka gumuho pa'to," he said that made me hurry up.

Agad naman namin natagpuan ang entrance patungo sa underground na sinasabi ko, at tama nga ako, pag dating namin doon ay may isang taong naka tali sa upuan na kanina pa pumapalag.

I Immediately went to her and untied her right away, once freed agad nya'kong niyakap, I can tell from the tears in her cheeks na she was crying. Kaya I hurriedly calmed her down.

"Shush love, I'm here na. But we have to hurry kase baka kung anong mangyari pa rito okay?" I asked, tryjng to gather her senses. She slowly nods kaya we proceed to make our way out, nang makalabas na kami ng lugar na iyon ay agad kong inalalayan si Ysa papunta saaking sasakyan. We Immediately left the vicinity.

Hindi ko sya dinala sa condo ko, Instead I brought her to our villa kung saan mas ligtas sya roon. Samantalang si Gabriel naman ay pinapunta ko muna sa isang lugar kung saan mas ligtas sya. I'm sure hindi pa natatapos dito ang gulo na idinulot ni Mr. Ramirez, galit sya saakin, at panigurado lahat ng taong mahal ko ay idadamay nya. Kaya mabuti nang manigurado. Naligo lang si Ysa para makalimutan ang mga nangyari samantalang ako naman ay ginagamot ang mga sugat ko kanina, puro pasa lang ang mga ito kaya yelo lang naman ang aking nilalagay.

"Leone,"I called.

Si Leone ay isa sa mga pinagaral ni tita ng law noon, magkasing tanda lang kami at nakikitira rin sya kay tita noon. He's currently a lawyer with his own firm, sya rin ang head of the legal department in my tita's firm.

"I'm busy, Ara. What trouble are you in this time?" He asked.

"I need you to send bodyguards to my tita, my girlfriend's family, my friends, and to Gabriel Martinez." I ordered. "Keep them away from danger, I don't want them hurt nor injured."

"Right away, is that all?" He asked.

"Give me all my assets, everything that is under my name except for tita's firm." I added.

"Noted, give me time and I'll send it to you." He ended the call after that. Ilang minuto ang lumipas ay pinadala din nya ito sa aking email, I immediately checked it and opened my bank account.

"Shocks, mayaman na pala ako." I whispered after checking the balance of my bank account, ngayon lang ulit ako nag check ng bank account dahil lahat ng ginagastos kong pera ay galing sa kita ko as an architect.

Knowing Mr. Ramirez he's a powerful man, even Gab informed me of that too. What he doesn't know is mas makapangyarihan ako. I have both of my parents assets, mula pa yon sa mga lolo't lola ko. Hindi pa kasama ung kay tita, since wala namang anak si tita saakin nalang nya pinamana ang mga ari-arian nya.

I have all the power and money on me, what makes them think na hahayaan kong masaktan si Ysa?

Nang matapos maligo si Ysa ay agad ko naman syang nilapitan, I hugged her Immediately to ease her worries dahil bakas padin sa kanya ang takot kanina.

"I'm here, I'm here," I whispered as she shrink into a ball and curl up. I caresses her back in hopes to calm her nerves down.

"I'm sorry love, I wish I had known sooner. Sana naligtas kita agad." I pecked kisses on her forehead as I hug her tighter.

"No need to your apologize, it's not your fault." She smiled.

"May masakit ba?" She asked.

"Pasa lang," I smiled.

And with that she stood up and grabbed some ice from the fridge, hinawakan nya ang mukha ko using her hands then put ice sa mga pasa ko. I smiled due to how gentle her care is.

"What are you planning to do?" She asked.

"I asked my tita's attorney to give me my assets, Mr. Ramirez is a powerful guy. I'll use my money and the power I have to protect all of you, hindi lang ikaw, but also si tita. Even si Gab." I explained.

"So, until we know it's safe. Dito muna tayo in the meantime?" She asked, and I nod.

We decided to go out to the nearest supermarket store para bumili ng stocks of food na makakain namin dahil dito muna kami titira, si Ysa na ang bumili ng mga kinakailangan naming pagkain habang ako naman ay ang mga bathroom essentials namin. Hindi na kami nag tagal dahil baka masundan pa kami kaya pagtapos non ay agad na kaming bumalik sa villa, ako nalang ang nagluto ng dinner namin.

After eating si Ysa ang naghugas kagaya ng nakasanayan namin, samantalang ako naman ay nanonood lang sa Netflix. Until I received a call, a call that crumbled my world down once again.

"Yes leone?" I asked.

"Ara, your tita's in the hospital. Including your friend Gabriel. Both are shot."
