Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 535
Advertisement
Luis was in disbelief to think that just one man planned mass destruction in the country. And another man gave him all the help he needed to carry out his plan. Two people. Two people were all it needed for the country to go into chaos and almost get destroyed. Luis shivered in fear as he recalled the contents of the video.
He went through the video again to see if he was dreaming, only to find that he was not. The video was real, and the conversation he was hearing was also real. The men had planned to ruin everything just for their gains.
Luis's assistant returned after finishing dealing with the reporters. He was surprised to see the President sitting still as he watched a video play on his phone. He could not see the man's expression from where he was. But he could still make out his worry, and the assistant wondered what had happened now.
The assistant walked towards the man and silently watched the video, and what he saw made his eyes widen. "Oh my God!!" He mumbled, his voice startling Luis. He turned back to his assistant, staring at his phone screen in horror. "Sir, this...this....what is this?" He pointed at the video, and Luis sighed lightly.
"This is the proof that there is a monster walking among us, and we had no idea about it," Luis remarked, and his assistant agreed with him immediately. They sure had no idea that they had such scoundrels living in their country who wanted to destroy the land they were staying in.
"Who sent this video, Sir?" His assistant queried once he was done watching the video completely.
"Do you remember the journalist Ivy West?" Luis turned his chair so that he was now facing his assistant completely.
"Yes, Sir. I remember her. Wasn't she the one Sir spoke to the last time you had called for a press meet just before the war started?" Just like Luis, his assistant too had a good impression of Ivy, and he remembered her immediately. She was smart and confident, and most important of all, she was courageous. She did not hesitate to take the risks when necessary, and this was what impressed both men.

"Did she send this video, Sir?"
Luis just nodded at him, and his assistant once again went into a state of shock. "How?" That was all he could muster say and stared at the man, who was sitting with his head lowered. However, he did not get any response from him. Luis himself was pondering the same question.
'How did Ivy get the video clip? Did someone give it to her or did she shoot this herself?' Luis wondered, admiration filling his eyes for the girl once again. 'But,' His smile vanished when he recalled what Ivy had told him before she had ended the call. 'What did Ivy mean when she said that this was just a small part of the video? Is there more to this?'
Luis thought about it, stunned by the recollection. 'Does she have more videos then? Does she know more than what she had told me and showed me?' Luis could not believe anything that was happening to him, and the next moment, he took his phone away, startling the assistant who was still staring at the now blank screen.
His assistant gave him a baffled look. But Luis did not say a word, keeping him in the dark as he dialed Ivy's number immediately.
"Hello," Ivy answered on the first ring much to his relief. "I was waiting for your call, Sir. Did you see the video completely?"
"I did, Miss West. I saw it completely, and I am spooked to know that such a felon was walking among us. But I have this one question I want to ask you." Luis's voice turned low at the end, and Ivy more or less had a hunch what the man would ask her next.
"Ask away, Sir. What do you want to know?" Ivy lifted her head and looked at her friends again, who were listening to their conversation keenly.

"Miss West, you told me that you have more video clips to prove Jared's crimes. Are the crimes you are referring to different from what you have sent in the video clip?" As soon as Luis asked the question, his assistant leaned closer towards the phone, for he too wanted to know the answer.
"Yes, Sir. I have more and detailed clips proving Jared's involvement in the crimes you have already found out from the video before. And I also have evidence to prove him guilty of crimes you have no idea about, Sir." Ivy said with such anger in her voice that for a moment Luis was shocked. He had no idea why she was angry. But he knew that her fury was not directed at him.
"What other crimes are you referring to, Miss West?" Luis now wanted to know what more the dangerous man was involved in. He wanted to find out everything he had missed.
"Sir, though I would like to speak to you about now, this is a confidential matter. So, I suggest that we speak in person." Luis immediately understood her hint, and he did not force her more to reveal everything on the phone.
"I agree, Miss West. When shall we meet?"
"How about we meet after the press meet tomorrow morning? I will be visiting the Princep House for your interview. We can speak at that time." Ivy suggested, and Luis accepted this arrangement. Though he wanted to call her over right now to find out all he wanted to know, he knew that Ivy had a plan in mind for her to suggest a few hours later. So, he gave up on persuading her.
"Miss West, I have another question I have to ask you." Luis started after thinking for a while.
"Yes, Mr. President?"
"How did you get all the video clips and the pieces of evidence against Jared Augustus? Did you shoot them yourself?"
"Not at all, Sir." Ivy smiled faintly as soon as she heard him and turned to look at Maggie, dozing off on her chair. The poor girl had been working all day to make sure that the video clips were organized and at the same time observe Jared's movements closely. She was now too tired to even keep her eyes open, and all she wanted was to cuddle on her bed and hibernate for days.
"Let's just say a friend of mine went undercover, risking their life to get the proofs. And they do not wish for the world to know who they are." Ivy did not speak directly. Yet, Luis understood the meaning behind her words immediately.
"I got it, Miss West. Though I would like to know more about this friend of yours, I will not force you to reveal who they are. Please thank them on my behalf for risking their lives to show the truth to the world."
"Surely, Sir. Anything else you want to know, Sir?"
"Not that I can think of at the moment. Maybe, I might bombard you with questions when we meet tomorrow."
"Then, I will answer all your questions without fail, Sir. This is a matter of national emergency, and I cannot do anything without your permission, Sir. So, I did not release the matter completely on the news."
"I understand. I will meet you tomorrow. It is time we put an end to this monster and his crimes."
