《The Secret of the Secret Boss》Chapter 15
Advertisement
I'm sorry baby, I love you so much. Kailangan ko lang ng oras para mag isip but my love for you never changed. I will fight for this pero kailangan ko munang malaman kung ano ba talaga ang katotohanan. What is your connection to my brother at kung bakit may agendang hindi maganda ang Elite. Why are you hiding in that shell? Valerie.
She passed out after that buti nalang at nasalo ko siya. I carried her in my arms, how can she have this very innocent face, I can't blame my brother kung baliw na baliw siya sa sinasabi niyang babaeng kamukha ng babaeng mahal na mahal ko. I feel like I need to protect her. Pero kanino?. my brother is a good person.
Tinext ko si Jayvee na I uwi nalang ang kotse ko.
Hinatid ko si Val gamit ang kotse niya.
Hindi ko alam kung tulog ba talaga ito o nagtutulug tulugan dahil ngumingiti ngiti pa siya. I stole a kiss on her lips. Minsan lang naman, pagbigyan niyo na. Pinaandar ko ang kotse niya at dumeretso sa condo niya.
As we reach her condo, binuhat ko siya hanggang sa floor nila. I hardly push the elevator button and her doorbell. Agad namang binuksan ni Marco ang pinto.
"Oh my gosh! What happened?" hysterical na wika ng kaibigan ni Val. Tumaas ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya.
"she passed out " hindi ko pinansin si Marco at dumeresto na ako sa kwarto ni Val. Inihiga ko siya sa kama at tinanggal ang sapatos.
I barely touched her face.
Bigla namang lumapit si Marco at hinawi ang kamay ko sa mukha ni Val.
"what do you think you're doing?" seryoso kong tanong kay Marco.dahil agad niyang tinanggal ang blazer ni Val. Hindi porket magkasama silang tumanda ay ganun nalang. I won't allow that. Lalaki si Marco.

"sino sa tingin mo ang gagawa nito?" wika ni marco. Nakatayo at nakapamewang siya sa harap ko. Sino ba talaga to?. kung hindi lang to presidente baka nasapak ko na to.
"hayaan nalang natin siya" magkatabi nanga kayong natutulog tapos may pribelehiyo kapang tanggalan siya ng damit. I'm getting mad at you Marco.
"makaka uwi kana" seryosong sabi ni Marco. You don't need to remind me, uuwi talaga ako bago ko pa maisapak sayo itong kamao ko. Try to touch her and you'll see hell.
Nagpalipas pa ako ng ilang oras bago tuluyang lumabas, sinigurado kong tulog na silang dalawa bago ako lumabas.
Bukas, pupunta ako sa business conference, lahat ng mga kumpanya sa kung ano anong field ay pupunta.
I feel like the need to go, pakiramdam ko ay kailangan ko talagang umattend sa business conference na iyon.
"Jane"
"yes, sir. Napatawag po kayo?" halatang kagigising lang niya.
"anong oras ang flight natin?" I ask, habang nagluluto ng almusal.
"5 pm mamaya sir" medyo natagalan siya sa pagsagot.
"okay"
At 4:30, I went to the airport. The flight was smooth. We went directly to the hotel. Sobrang laki nito, I can see all the awe in every persons eye na nandito. It is more like a castle, the staircase are like those in castles. Fascinating.
"sir, nakakalula naman itong hotel", wika ni Jane
Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi niya. May lumapit sa aming crew ng hotel.
"Mr. Montenegro?"
Tumango ako.
"This way sir" wika ng lalaking kumausap sa akin. Sumama narin kami.
"Hernandez Hotel has 60 floors sir. Bukas po ng gabi ang conference. Sa 34th floor po iyon gaganapin. Sa Venice's Hall " wika ng lalaki nang hindi kami nililingon.
Nagulat ako dahil nagtatagalog siya ngunit wala sa itsura dahil mukha talaga siyang amerikano ngunit ang mas nagpagulat sa akin ay ang pangalang narinig ko. Venice? Hernandez hotel?. they are the host of this event?. her family owns this prestigious and luxurious hotel? This doesn't make any sense to me.

I got invited to many business conferences in the world but this invitation is the strangest.
It is a VVIP suit.
"welcome to the VVIPs First class suit sir" sabay bukas ng pinto.
I can see the amusement in Jane's eyes. Girls, girls. Ganyan din kaya si Valerie kung siya ang kasama ko ngayon. Can I?, can I witness her amused face too?.
Iniwan na kami ng clerk doon. Jane fixed our things. Lumabas ako at nilibot ang hotel. My eyes darted on Marco.
"Hey!" kaway ni Marco.
"kasama mo siya? Where is she?" tanong ko sabay lingon sa likuran niya.
Umiling iling siya ."hindi, hindi siya sumama"
"may naaalala ba siya?" ang tinutukoy ko ay noong hinatid ko siyang lasing na lasing. i feel so gay but i miss her so much.
"she doesn't remember anything" sabay tapik sa balikat ko. "sige!, sa 32nd floor ako, ikaw?"
"40th " wika ko. Iniwan ako ni Marco. I went out and roamed around the city.
Hindi din ako nagtagal sa labas. Pakiramdam ko'y bawat sulok ng lugar na makita ko ay nandoon siya. She's the apple of my eye.
"Jane, is everything ready for tomorrow?" tanong ko kay Jane. She's busy eating while watching the city lights.
"yes sir, okay na po. Sarili niyo nalang po ang parang hindi pa ready sir" nilingon ko siya. I swear Jane, kung hindi ka lang magaling na empleyado baka inihulog na kita dyan sa kinatatayuan mo ngayon.
I thought the night will be peaceful. Tumunog ang aking cellphone kaya sinagot ko iyon.
It's my brother.
"hey". ako
"hey, how's Canada?" siya. Halatang lasing.
"may sasabihin kaba?" iritadong tanong ko. I can still remember the last time we've talk. Hinihingi niya sa akin si Valerie, what is she? A thing?. he kept on insisting that she's Venice. That Venice is a user, she used my brother. But my Val isn't. magkaibang tao sila. Magkaibang magkaiba.
"Help me, bro" wika niya.
"what is it this time?" ako
"Elite, kinukuha nila ang kumpanya ko. MR is falling at kinukuha ito ng Elite sa akin. You know how hard my dad put it up. Kasalanan ng Elite ang pagbagsak ng kumpanya ko" I can feel frustrations in his voice. Darn, ELITE?. they are that bad?. they're crazy. Gutom na gutom ata sila sa kapangyarihan. They want to own all the other companies in the Philippines?
"You're crazy kuya. They will never do that" wika ko.
"i maybe am, I talked to Venice the last time" ayan na naman. Venice na naman. What?. ang Venice na tinutukoy niya ay ang babaeng mahal na mahal ko.
"what??" iritableng tanong ko. Umayos ayos ka, baka makalimutan kong kapatid kita.
"humingi ako ng tulong but she insisted. Humingi ako ng palugit pero kapag hindi ko nameet ang demands nila, kukunin na nila ang kumpanya ko. Help me" I can imagine him pleading.
"anong gusto mong gawin ko?. mag invest sa kumpanya mo?" ako
"oo, may project ako ngayon. Kailangan ko ng investor" wika niya
"let's talk about the details when I come back" wika ko.
"thank you brother" wika niya at pinutol na ang tawag.
Ano ba talagang plano ng Elite? What are they up to?. Si Marco ba ang gumagawa nito? He's that monstrous?. I won't allow that to happen. I won't allow them to take my company away.
*******
saan nga ba patungo?. saan nga ba patungo?.
what will happen to that conference?. ano ano pa kaya ang malalaman ni Rei?
will Venice's dark plans prevail?.

Warning: This story does contain graphic descriptions of a sexual nature, violent fights, blood shed, gore and at times, crude language.

Killstealer
Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.
