“I just want to let you know your father is here in the precinct. We arrested him for murder. We have issued a warrant of arrest against him.” The police said.
“What?!” that’s all Abigail said. She turned off the call as she entered and left without saying goodbye to Mia and the rest of her companions.
Kay saw her show. It called her and asked what happened why she was in a hurry. She said that there was an emergency in their family and then she left quickly. Kay wonders what the problem is.
“Hello, Mrs. Roa! Right?”
“Yes, I am! Who are they? Why were you called?” Natasha asked.
“I just want to inform you that your husband is in the precinct. We arrested him earlier.” Answer by the police officer.
“What?! Why?
“Just come here so you can find out.”
Abigail was crying as she got into the taxi. She doesn’t know what her reaction will be. Will she be happy because her mother’s death has already been served or will she be sad because her father will be imprisoned despite everything? Her father is still Louie?
~~~~~
In the office…
Amer called all of his staff to talk about what the police had done to arrest Louie.
Alpha Private Company will tie up the police where if there are serious cases, they will handle if there is a solution that they will pass on to the authorities.
“Good news! Mr. Roa has been arrested. Thank you for all your efforts in finding evidence, especially for Naneth, who took her life just so we can gather solid proof.” Amer says, recognizing Naneth.
Everyone clapped their hands.
Naneth smiled. “Thank you all for your support.” His answer.
Dominic was there too, but he was just quietly listening to them. Kyla was also restless because she was also thinking about something.
“Alright! Because we succeed, we will celebrate. I have already booked tables that will fit all of us in the restaurant.” Gio said happily.
“Oh! Sir Gio? That sounds like a good idea.” Roy said.
“So that’s it! After a few days of waking up, I can finally relax.” Dan said.
“I agree with that,” Sofia replied.
“Oh! Kyla and Dominic, be quiet! Aren’t you happy that the case we handled was successful?” Naneth asked.
“Ha! Eh, of course, I’m happy. Why can’t I be happy after our sacrifice? We also achieved success.” Answer n Kyla.
“It’s Kyla, I’ll just ask. What happened to you when you were missing a day? Do you know who abducted you?” asked sir Amer.
Kyla was surprised. She thought they had forgotten what happened to her, so she didn’t open it up. She was confused if she would tell their boss what happened to her to make Mr. Roa or she will just let it happen. But there was still anger in her heart and she wanted to feel Mr. Roa talking about the painful things that happened to her family because she was the reason her parents separated.
“Kyla!” Naneth tapped her shoulder. “Are you okay? You’ve been quiet before. Do you feel bad?”
“Ah! Pretty much. Can I go to the bathroom first?” goodbye Kyla.
They all wondered why Kyla reacted like that. After their meeting, the happiness could not be seen on his face.
“What’s wrong with Kyla, Naneth? Why does she look sluggish?”
“I don’t know, sir Amer. Maybe she’s just tired, and she’s even traumatized by what happened to her.” Naneth replied.
“Is that so? Do you know who abducted her?”
Naneth didn’t say a word, because Kyla told her not to tell her what happened. She also didn’t know why that was her decision.
“Naneth! I am asking you. Do you know anything?”
“It’s better, sir Amer, that she just tell you for more details because I wasn’t there in the incident,” Naneth replied.
“Okay, but let’s get Kyla first, maybe she’s not ready to speak yet.” Said Amer.
Kyla went into the bathroom. Their bathroom has two cubicles, so the two women can be there together.
“You are an animal, Louie Roa. You ruined my life and my family. It is not enough to imprison you. Everything you do you will pay for.” she said to herself as she looked in the mirror.
Kyla’s face shows she is furious with Louie. She adjusted herself so that not everyone would notice what she was going through.
She was already out, and Althea came out of the other cubicle. She heard what Kyla said. She wonders why she is so angry with Mr. Roa.
~~~~~
Natasha and Abigail rushed to the precinct almost at the same time to visit Louie.
“Dad, what happened to you? Why did they arrest you?”
“I don’t even know Abigail! They issued a warrant of arrest for me, saying the case was murder.”
“Murder?! Is this your case about mom?”
“Maybe, but it’s been a long time and I know nothing about her death. I did not kill your mother.” Louie refused.
“Dad, I’m sorry, but they have strong evidence that proves that you are in the video. You look like it’s there, so you can’t deny it.” Abigail said.
“What video? Why don’t I know anything about that video?” Natasha asked.
“That is the video from the USB that the woman stole here at home. She had no motive to rob us of our belongings, but she just looked for the evidence when she saw she had left and that our guard saw her correctly, so he was shot in the shoulder.” Abigail’s story.
“What?! How did you know? Do you have any contact with those investigating Abigail’s case?” her dad asked in shock.
“I’m sorry, dad, but I’ve been investigating you before. I suspected you when I passed by the stock room because I was looking for something, but I saw a box there but I didn’t open it because you had already arrived.” Abigail’s confession.
“You mean you ordered the thief to search our stockroom and take what was in the box?
“I didn’t say that, and I didn’t know they were ordered to do something before. I just gave them a clue, but after that, I didn’t give any information,” Abigail replied.
“Abigail, why did you hurt your father? Even if he makes mistakes, he is still your father.” Natasha replied.
“Mom, I’m sorry, but I can’t tolerate what dad is doing. Yes, he is my father, but I know what he is doing is wrong. He will not learn until he is punished. He will have to face the consequences of what he did.” Abigail replied.

That night, they went to the restaurant for their celebration. Everything is complete and they enjoy it. They sang, and the others danced. Naneth just stared at them next to her as Gio sat down.
Gio invited her to dance with them, and she gave it to him because it was only once. And Kyla and Dominic are partners.
“What happened to you earlier? Why did you suddenly become quiet at the meeting earlier?” Dominic asked.
“Ah! Is that so? Nothing just got a little worse because I feel maybe because of too much stress at work. You know that we have accumulated too much work lately, maybe that’s why.” Kyla replied.
“Are you happy that our operation was successful?” Gio asked. They both danced sweetly because they were carried away by the music.
“Ah! Of course, it’s not a waste of my tiredness even if I was shot. It’s worth it.” Naneth said, smiling as she looked at Gio.
Gio is handsome. He looks like an actor in another country; he is white, tall and has a sharp nose, which is why she is so proud of Gio’s face.
“Naneth! Do I have dirt on my face? You’re staring at me so hard I feel like I’m going to melt haha!” laughed Gio.
“You are crazy, no! Can’t I look at you?”
“Haha! Why did I say that? I just let you stare at me because that’s what I want.” Said Gio. Naneth shuddered at what he said.
It was late when they went home, Gio and Dominic’s companions went home first, Kyla was riding in Dominic’s car and Naneth was riding with Gio. But they were ahead of them while on the show, Gio and Naneth saw that someone was standing in front of them and watching them.
Naneth asked Gio if he saw the man standing opposite. Gio didn’t notice, he just calmed Naneth down and they got in the car.
As they were on their way home, Naneth noticed a car following them.
“Gio, look in the front mirror. Isn’t there a car following us?” Gio looked on.
“Yeah, has that been following us before?” Gio asked.
“Maybe I just noticed now.”
“Let’s seduce him first. We won’t go home to you first, so he doesn’t know where you live,” Gio replied.
“So that’s it! That’s what I’m worried about.”
Gio changed direction. They just want to mislead the car that followed them. They just went to a romantic place, where they first spent the time until the car left.
“Thank you, and he left as well. Thank you, Gio, for protecting me.” Naneth said, smiling.
“Of course Naneth, I will do my best not to repeat what happened to you at their house, Mr. Roa,” Gio replied.
“Thank you, Gio. By the way, does your dad already know what happened to Mr. Aren’t they two friends?”
“Maybe he already knows. You know social media. It’s easy to spread, so that’s what’s hard to be careful of.” Gio replied.
“I see. How about Althea? Are you still seeing each other?”
“Why do you ask? Are you jealous?” Gio smiled angrily.
“No ah! I just asked.” Naneth still denies it.
“Ah! Althea and I have been together for a long time. She is the only one who cannot accept what happened.”
Gio talks about Althea’s past…
We were in college then, Dominic and I, Althea, and I would do a batch. Dominic knew that my ex-girlfriend was Althea, so he was surprised why Althea was there on dad’s birthday. Althea’s parents are close friends with my dad because dad has a business that he and his parents will partner with.
We became partners. It was okay that our relationship lasted for almost two years. We were about to get married, but that didn’t work out because I found out that she had been cheating on me for a long time. She didn’t know that I saw her with the man them entering the hotel. Yes, I loved her in case I lost that love of the very my eyes saw with her. I didn’t tell her the real reason, so I went home to the Philippines, two days before our wedding before I left her. I didn’t tell her anything bad. I just kept quiet because I wanted no more trouble. I don’t want to confront her because I don’t want to hurt her feelings. I walked away and let her go.
Until she returned to the Philippines to tell me I was the reason our marriage did not continue. She still blames me, even though she is to blame for everything.
The story of Gio…
“Oh! Sorry to hear that, Gio. Are you okay now? I hope you tell her the real reason, so she knows she’s wrong and doesn’t always blame you.” Said Naneth.
“I am okay now. I’ve moved on. I have seen a woman who knows I will be happy. You’re right, I should have told her, but for what else if he even knew? I don’t want to go back to the past after that, and I want a new life.” Gio answered sadly.
~~~~~
“Thank you for taking me, Dominic.” Said Kyla.
“Nothing. I’m happy to take you to see if you’re safe. I’ve been worried about you for a while now because from the office to the restaurant and until now, mixed emotions can be seen on your face. I hope I can help ease the sadness on your face. You can share with me.” Said Dominic.
“Let’s go inside first,” Kyla mixed coffee for the two of them and talked.
She told him about her abduction. She also tells Dominic who abducted her. Dominic couldn’t believe that his uncle was the one who did it.
Dominic became Louie’s uncle because his mother and Abigail’s father, Louie, were siblings. So it was also painful for him to imprison his uncle and he helped with the operation to get and imprison his uncle.
“Are you okay Dominic? Be quiet about what I’m saying.”
“I just can’t believe that my uncle will make another mistake. I will apologize for what he did to you. Why did he mistake you for stealing the USB?” Dominic asked.
“I don’t know him either. Fortunately, I lost him.” Kyla replied.
“So, ah! Why aren’t Gio and Naneth there yet? Can’t we just go home together?” Dominic asked.
“Yeah, maybe just traffic. They will come soon. Ah! How did Abigail react when you told her what her dad did? ”
“Kyla was shocked by what I said. So I also feel sorry for my cousin. I hope he is okay and stays strong.” Dominic replied.
“So that’s it! Let us pray for her. Abigail is brave, so she knows she can do everything.” Said Kyla.
~~~~~
“Ah! It’s good that you can see something to replace your heart with the pain you experienced with Althea.
“Yeah! I know if I’m lucky with her because besides being kind, she’s also smart. What a man can’t do sometimes he can. Independent person and has self-confidence. I admire her! I’m just afraid she won’t accept me.” Gio explained.
“Why not? You already have everything. What else will he look for? The luck of that woman is whoever she is.”
“I am luckier than her. I’ve known her for a long time. I thought she was very naughty at first, but when I met her, I felt better.” Gio replied.
“You know, I’m curious about that lucky woman. Can you tell me who he is?”
“Are you sure? Maybe your reaction towards me will be different.”
“Haha! Why do you know me? And you led me. I just want to get to know her and we’ll see if she’s right for you.” Naneth replied.
“It’s not like that. Are you ready to know who he is?”
“All right, hang yourself!”
Who is Gio referring to? Will Naneth be happy or disappointed?
