My Secretive Wife

ACE AND NILO

After signing the papers, Marco stretched his arms and saw his assistant standing in front of his desk. His brows knitted, and he asked, "Is there something else you need to tell me?" 

"Huh?" Anthony was so busy thinking of something that he did not realize that he was like a statue in front of Marco.

"N-no sir, I'll go back to my office," Anthony slightly bowed his head and turned around to leave.

"Whew!" He patted his left shoulder and said to himself, 'you're good Anthony, you're good!'

Baltazar's hideout

Benjamin Baltazar received a tip that the International Police have gotten information about his illegal activities and are now searching for his location. Since he can't leave City S, he decided to find a hideout for the time being, and he still needs to see that woman. He gritted his teeth as the thought of that b***h came to his mind. It was her who took that information.

Since Interpol is involved, he must be careful with his every move. He dialed his adopted son's number. He's the only one who can help him find that woman and be out of here since he has the means, unlike his useless nephew Anton Baltazar, who is only good with women and alcohol.

The phone on the other end only rang twice and was answered.

"Hello, Dad," said the person on the other end. 

"Son, you will need to help Dad find a woman. She took important information from me, and the Interpol is now hunting me." He said aggrievedly. 

"Do you have the name and picture?" His son asked in an assertive tone.

"No, but I managed to have someone sketch how she looks front and back," Benjamin was still upset that his men could not fix the video that they had gotten.

"Email it to me, and I'll take care of it," He said without emotion.

"Thank you, son! I know you will help me! I'll have my assistant send it to you right away," Benjamin's mood lightened, and he signaled his assistant, who was standing in front of him, to start working on it.

"Okay, Dad. If there's nothing else, I have to hang up," he's not interested in helping him, but he had a plan.

"Okay, son," Benjamin hung up and squeezed his phone hard. "Bastard! Who do you think you are!" He roared angrily. If he only has a son, he won't bother to adopt that boy.

"Are you done?!" Benjamin turned his aggressiveness to his poor assistant, who almost peed his pants when he roared angrily moments ago. 

"S-s-sir, I just f-finished scanning the p-picture. I-I'll email it to him n-now," he said, stuttering. 

"Leave when you finished!" Benjamin flips the newspaper that was on the table. He was trying to find out if there was news about MC Group.

"S-sir, it's m-my room," he murmured to himself. But because the room is small, Benjamin could hear what he said though he was stuttering. 

Benjamin gave him a fierce look, threw the newspapers on his face, and left his room violently. 

Nilo was twelve when Benjamin Baltazar terrorized the orphanage where he was staying. He gathered all the young boys, including himself and his adopted son. Benjamin took all the boys from the orphanage, ages eight to twelve, and trained them to fight. Since he was the skinniest, Benjamin introduced him to his former assistant to be his trainee.

Nilo's childhood wasn't easy. The kids from the orphanage made fun of him for being a weakling. They mocked him to only be in the office facing the papers until his hair turned gray. If not for Ace, Benjamin Baltazar's adopted son, those kids won't stop bullying him.

Ace was the strongest and the tallest kid in the orphanage. They were the same age when Benjamin took them somewhere. When Benjamin saw that Ace had a future, he adopted and nurtured him. He sent him to school overseas. 

Even though he was studying overseas, Benjamin introduced him to his illegal business. He used Ace to expand his illicit business everywhere. Benjamin asks him to come back and help him run his business, but Ace always declines. Only Nilo knows the real reason why he kept on dropping Benjamin's offer. 

Ace trusted him, and he trusted him too. Benjamin's business started to decline a few years back, and he always blames it on his nephew, Anton. But Anton is only a chess piece. His nephew's womanizing, illegal drugs, and alcohol a***e might be the cause of Benjamin's downfall, but someone made his nephew that way to make it possible. 

Benjamin wasn't aware that Nilo and Ace were scheming against him. Nilo opened his secure email and received an email from Ace. He sent him a reply and deleted all his traces. They thought Nilo was only good at being Benjamin's assistant. They don't know that he has hacking skills, and it won't be hard for him to restore the surveillance video. But he won't do it. He won't help Benjamin Baltazar find the woman in that way. Ace has a perfect plan for that, and he believes in him.

Five days later

"Sir Benjamin, I got an email from Sir Ace," Nilo said while opening his laptop to show his boss the email.

Benjamin read the email and smiled widely. 'Huh! This punk is not useless at all,' he thought to himself. 

The email was about the woman he had been searching for, for almost four months. Now he understands why his men had a hard time finding the whereabouts of this woman. It's because she was hiding behind a powerful man in the city. 

He will need to plan to get her out of that place and get his revenge. He will t*****e her, and who knows what will transpire when she's on his turf. 

"Call Anton," he ordered his assistant, who was watching his expression. 

"Yes, sir," he replied and dialed Anton's number. 

"Who is it?" A woman answered the call, which made Nilo blush. She seemed to be awakened and got irritated when she answered the phone. Nilo had an idea what happened the previous night, but he's still not used to it. 

"Woman! Hand it to that bastard!" yelled Benjamin. The speaker was on, so Benjamin heard the woman's voice. He was mad that while he was hiding from Interpol's people, his nephew messed around outside instead of taking care of their other business.

"Hey, bastard! You have a phone call," the woman said on the other line. They could hear what she said because she had the speaker on as well.

"F**k, turn off the phone!" said Anton, who was still half asleep and annoyed that his sleep was disturbed.

"Shut up! You bastard! Answer the phone!" Roared Benjamin. Anton suddenly sit-up and looked at the phone still in the woman's hand. With a raised brow, she tossed the phone to Anton. 

Anton turned off the speaker and answered the phone. "U-uncle, what's this all about?" He said in an aggrieved tone. Anton has been resenting his uncle since he was young. Anton doesn't know why his parents chose to abandon him and have him stay with his ruthless uncle. 

"Send some of our men to City S discreetly! No one should know except you, understand?" Benjamin said, gnashing his teeth. If only Anton is not his nephew, he already abandoned him, just like his brother and sister-in-law did. But because he needs him, he can't do it yet.

"I understand, uncle. Send me your exact location," he replied. Anton got up and gestured for the woman to leave. The woman pouted and threw a pillow at him before leaving the room wearing nothing but a towel.
