EX Wife (EXCLUSIVE in GOODNOVEL)

Four

Exelle

"Miss Kim..."

Naagaw ang atensyon ko nang tawagin ni Audrey ang pangalan ko, kaya nilingon ko ito at pilit na nginitian. My mind has been occupied since Alexis left an hour ago. Maybe just because of those things na napag-usapan namin. Those things that I never thought had happened years ago.

"Here are the copies of your contract with Mr. Sanchez along with the papers regarding with the proposal of Vallejo Corporation to the EXiellene Royal. I already made four copies each of the papers, in case of an emergency.Are you sick, Miss Kim?" Sabi nito sakin sabay tanong kung ayos lang ako at abot nang isang white expanding envelope sakin. I just nod as a response.

Hindi na ito nagtanong pa nang buksan ko ang envelope at tinignan ang mga files na nasa loob nito. Alam kong napansin niya ang mood ko ngayon kaya hindi na siya nag-usisa pa.

"How about the blueprint of the building? May I check on it again?" I ask her while I placed back the file of papers inside the envelope. I keep myself busy para naman makalimutan ko yung tungkol kanina.

"For you, maybe its forgivable. Kasi kung tutuusin, parte palang yun nang kasalanan nila sayo. Do you have any idea of what happened to your family's wealth?" Alexis suddenly ask me habang nakasandal sa kanyang kotse.

Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya while standing infront of him. And about his question.
"The bank took the fifty percent of my family's wealth . Except for the house. Why?"

Umiling ito na ipinagtaka ko naman. I walk beside him and copy his position, leaning my back on his car. "Tell me what you know Lex..." Walang gana kong sabi sa kanya. I know that there were more secrets that I didn't know other than the case of Hans and Rylie cheated us.

"Hans took all of it and gave the half to Rylie." He answered. "Hindi lang kalahati ang kinuha nila, they took the whole percent of it. Sinamantala ni Hans ang pagkakakasal mo sa kanya at ginawa yung paraan para makakilos nang mas mabilis. Lahat nang manang dapat ay nakapangalan sayo ay sekreto niyang inilipat sa pangalan niya."

So that's it. The bank didn't actually really took all of it, dahil kinuha niya pala ito. I never thought na ang galing niyang magtago nang ganoong klaseng sikreto. Now I'm pissed off.

"He's good. Really good at hiding." I said at ibinaling ang tingin ko sa dalawang taong masayang nag-uusap sa loob ng cafe. "Actually, both of them were good."

"What do you want to do now?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya. His eyes were asking me more than what should I do. He looked at me with a worry. Pero bakit naman siya mag-aalala?

"Don't worry Lex. I'll work on it. Besides, its useless to be back in here just to do some business related to my business. Maybe I should used this time to have a bigger comeback." Sabi ko na lang sa kanya. I smile at him. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto, na hindi sa lahat ng bagay kailangan tahimik ka. Sometimes we should learn how to fight back those who fight you from the back. Maybe its really good to be back. Ngayon, mababawi ko na ang dapat kong bawiin.

Ayos na sana yung niloko ako at pinahirapan noon. But the case of taking away my family's property must be out of it. They should have at least forget about the treasures my family left for me as their memory but still they did.

"I'll contact you na lang Lex. I have a work to do." I told him with a smile.
