THROUGH REGRETS AND REDEMPTION

CHAPTER 1: TROUBLE

BRYSON RAMOS POV'S

In our lives, we can't avoid having competition, whether it's simply in dealing with them or in how we treat others. As I'm experiencing now, I'm competing with our bussiness to grow it even more. I'm not that good at handling a company, but I can do my job well because I will try all the ways to achieve what I want.

I am Bryson Ramos, 25 years old. I'm so serious in life and have perfect decision making. I am also called mafia boss because I consider everyone as my enemy.

Why should I consider them allies if I can't trust them, right?

Additionally, I am also the CEO of the largest liquor company here in the Philippines. It's called Zinfandel Philippines Manufacturing Corporation. Grandpa told me then that he built it because he liked the taste of the wine he tasted in other countries.

I was currently in my room here at home when my friend suddenly entered.

There must be a problem, again!

"Grandpa will be here, now!" He said nervously.

He is Braxton Wood, he is also 25 years old and I have been a friend for a long time. He is my ally in everything and one of the one's I trust. Since we were in grade 5, we were in the same class and until we went to college, we were always in the same class, so he became my friend and hired as my assistant.

"Let's get ready." I said and stood up from my bed.

"He said he was with someone." He said that surprised me.

Who can go with grandpa?

"Then?" Hoping that he will answer well.

"He warned us to be careful." When he said that, I felt nervous.

Grandpa wouldn't say that if we weren't in danger.

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know. I've been calling him for a while but he's not answering... Maybe he's doomed."

"F*ck! Sh*t!" I immediately grabbed my black blazer before putting it on. I also put two guns in both pockets of my pants.

He quickly gave me my wireless earphones which were connected to his earphones so we could hear each other before handing me my transparent eye glasses which can detect people holding guns. I also wore my watch with only a hidden bomb and the black leather sneakers shoes with a hidden camera.

"Get the things ready for us." I ordered him which he immediately obeyed.

I need a lot of guns and vehicles, we will surely fight here again.

A few minutes later he returned with a large bag containing a gun.

"Let's go." I said and immediately left the room.

After we got in the car, I immediately started it.

"Where are we going now?" He asked.

"Track grandpa's car now. We'll follow them." I ordered him and he immediately opened his laptop before clicking on it.

I don't really know much about tracking cars so I did it myself. He also studied for almost a year before he learned.

"They're in Laurel. It's 25.9 km away. We can get there in 55 mins but it's possible to get there in 30 mins if you drive faster."

"So, are you saying I drive slowly?" I asked him before driving off.

I grinned when I saw him clinging to his seat belt.

"You still need to train, Braxton." I patted his shoulder and sped up the car again.

We were in the middle of the road when suddenly I felt something strange in my stomach.

Hyst! Why now?

"I think you should be the trained, boss." Braxton looked at me laughing and shook his head.

"Let's stop for now. I really can't take it anymore." I promised before parking the car in front of a club.

I have no choice. Even though I don't like this place, I can't stop the pain in my stomach anymore. That's bullshit, what did I eat and my stomach hurts like this?

"There you go. I'm just fast." I tossed him the key before running inside the club.

Where is the cr here?

When I got to the end of the hallway I felt happy to see the cr for men.

"Finally." I said before entering the cr.

I took off my underwear and sat down comfortably.

I still singing a 'hmm hmm' as I release the thing inside my stomach.

After I did what I had to do I noticed there was no water!

The bucket was empty too and the faucet didn't even leak!

F*ck! Why didn't I immediately find out if there was water?

How is this?

What will I do?

I look disgusting now!

When I felt someone enter the cr, I immediately drew my gun which was not noisy. It might be who it is and suddenly open the door.

When I felt her turn on the faucet on the bathroom counter wash I felt irritated.

Why is not water here?!

I was shocked when someone spoke and it was a woman's voice.

So, I'm with a woman in the comfort room now? Damn, that's embarrassing!

While she was complaining about how unfair life is, I set up my hidden camera that was worn on my shoes before it was a monitor on my eye glasses.

I slowly put out my left foot and looked for the woman who spoke.

The black fitted skirt she was wearing caught my eye. It's a nice view!

No! No! It's wrong!... I won't look at her, my brain is still sane and another thing is that I need her help to ask for water or anything that i can use to get out of this place.

I adjusted my foot again before observing her appearance, she was wearing a waitress uniform that fit to her body.

I swallowed a little when I saw her appearance.

Both her cheeks were red and her hair and clothes that she was wearing were also a little wet.

What happened to her?

Did she take a bath here?

Tss. It's cheap!

She stopped complaining when I suddenly asked for wipes but she said that she didn't have any so I feel like I have the whole world with me.

How do I get out of here?

I was confused when she suddenly went out and left me.

"That's why the world is unfair! She's so unkind!" Annoyed, I said to the door that like I was talking to the woman.

Is it unfair because life doesn't favor her? Really unfair because you didn't even help!

I just took out my cellphone and called Braxton to ask him for help.

"Why boss? What happened to you?" He asked worriedly after entering the bathroom but he couldn't see me.

"Get me some water." I ordered him before taking the mug out the door.

"Why?"

"Does that even need to be asked?" I told him, I was annoyed.

I saw on my monitor that he was laughing so I opened the door a little before throwing soap at him.

Headshot!

"Why? What did I do again?" He was still laughing.

"Get rid of me later!" I said and slightly raised my foot to show him that I have a hidden camera there where I can watch him.

"Hehe sorry boss." He even made a peace sign in front of my shoes.

After I cleaned, I looked around.

Where is the unfair girl? I hate her when I see that girl! What she can say is not only unfair but good bye life! HAHA.

"Are you planning to stay here?" He jokingly asked that I immediately glared at him.

"Let's go." I said and he drove the car.

When we were close to the place where grandfather was, I felt that someone was following us, so I prepared my gun and eye glasses.

I immediately shot the car behind me when I noticed that he was holding a gun. Fortunately, the driver was hit so they couldn't follow immediately.

After a while, one gun after another tried to hit us, which we quickly dodged. Braxton is also driving faster now.

"How many are they boss?" He asked still focusing on driving.

"About three cars. Four people on the seats." I replied that the gun was still full.

"Alright. I'll slow down the drive and then just shoot."

"There are too many of them."

"There will be more later so aim one by one, boss." He said and gradually slowed down the driving.

He also grabbed a gun and started shooting while I was shooting a gun. I have to target them.

I opened the convertible roof of the car and set up a position to shoot.

Even though I was far away, I aimed my gun at the head of the driver but my gun went off.

I need to think of a plan.

I need to knock them down quickly so that I don't run out of ammo.

I sat down and thought of what to do.

"Slow down the drive." I ordered him and sat down again to shoot properly.

I took my two guns and fixed them.

"Let's start!" I grinned before he slowed down the drive.

I fired my guns one after the other and I grinned loudly as they one by one made their way down the road.

"Cool!" Braxton commented to me before speeding the car off.

"I'm the living sniper mafia boss." I said before sitting comfortably.

After a while we arrived at the resort where we tracked grandpa's car.

When we entered, two women who's wearing aTie Up Knitted Bikini Two Piece Swimsuit Beach immediately greeted us. They are approached us and rubbed in our bodies.

We nodded together then grinned.

"It's okay that we go here." Braxton said foolishly. He must be undressing the two women in his mind.

"Are you the one of Mr. Percival's son?" A woman wearing a flower base design outfit asked flirtatiously.

She's wearing a lot of flowers, even in pink color.

"Yes, I am." I replied manly.

"Nice!" The two women said and almost pressed their bodies against me.

I saw Braxton complain because the girl in the sea outfit left him. The color of what she was wearing was too blue and there were sea shells on it.

"Let's go, baby." Flower vase girl gently invited me and took me by the hand before pulling me away.

Where are we going?

It looks exciting! HAHAHA.

"Follow me." The sea girl gruffly said Braxton before she started walking with me.

He looked at the woman annoyed but his look changed when he looked at the lower part of the woman's back. This is crazy! I think I will still compete with these two.

After arriving at the water sports area, I was shocked when he pushed us there and that's when grandfather appeared to me with his hands tied behind his back while there were two guns pointed at him held by two men.

He is my grandfather Percival, my only companion in life besides Braxton. He took care of me until I grew up. He also bequeathed me the company I hold today.

"Grandpa!" I shouted at him and was about to approach him when I heard a series of gunshots.

"Grandson." He said with difficulty.

"Let my grandfather go! What did he do to you? You bastards!" I told them I was annoyed.

"I thought you were good at fightining." The flower vase girl said to me with a smile before forcefully presenting me to her.

She's beautiful and sexy, it's okay if you speak English!

"You want to try?" I grinned at her.

"I would like to in case someone wants to talk to you." She said and clapped. There came out more than ten men wearing all black outfits before surrounding Braxton and me.

We stood up and prepared ourselves to fight.

The tallest of them rushed at me first so I immediately faced him and found a good timing to fight him. I first kicked him in the stomach before punching him in the face. The man who was behind me followed. I punched him in the stomach before punching him in the face. He even punched me in the face before laying down and falling asleep.

We had been in the battle for almost ten minutes and we were enjoying all the blood and bruises before we knocked out the last enemy.

"You are Percival's son." Mr. Jomuel surprised and he even clapped.

He is Mr. Jomuel Paez, my business competitor. I can assure you that he is the mastermind behind all this happening.

What else does he need?

What else does he want to happen?
