The First Lady

Chapter Three

New york city, present day.

Snow

I never respond to what Mr. Black said. I looked at Doc, he looked frightened, maybe I should too.

"What can you say, Snow?" Walt asked.

"I can't accept this mission." I said while looking on the floor. I hate this feeling.

"Why? Are you hiding something? Do you know my brother?" Hector asked continuously.

"Hey young man, show some respect to her." Doc defends me.

"You have no right to tell me what to do." Hector respond in a cold tone.

"I don't know your brother." I lied. "I just can't go back there, someone might know my real identity." another lie.

"Doc already erased all your information on the internet, newspaper or in any news channel if ever you are there. If someone recognize you, you can simply deny your real identity. " Walt is right, in black swan we have the seven dwarfs. Their work is to erase everything about our real identity in the world, just like we never existed. And no one has the right to ask or reveal it to anyone even to Walt. The only exemption is if our identity may affect a mission, and in this situation I'm a hundred percent sure that it will.

"Maybe I should ask Doc with your real identity for me to find out why you can't accept this mission." Walt said and I felt an unpleasant emotion rising on my bones. Doc knows the truth about me, only Doc. He's my dwarf.

"No need to do that, you don't have my permission." I said in a very tough tone. "I will accept the mission but I need to know everything about it." I don't have a choice.

"Here's everything that you need to know." Mr. Black gave me a white folder.

As I opened it, I saw the familiar faces of the Alonzo and the money that they corrupted. Georgia is now one of the Senator and His father, the deceiver Daniel Alonzo is the New president of my former motherland. I continued turning the page until I saw the picture of Gael and ate Sofia. Or should I call Sofia Torres, she's now the wife of the new vice president of the Philippines, Gael. I felt a thin needle on my heart when I saw how happy they are. How can they be? It also states in this file the value of the money they corrupted, most of them are from the department of defense. The next page strikes different, when I saw an angel with the devil. Why did she chose to take that path? It's my best friend Angela, now married to the notorious General Kalel Garcia the former hitman of the Alonzo's. And on the last page there's a name without a picture. It's Vianca Jean Santiago Alonzo. Former first lady of the Philippines.

"I heard some news from my source in the Philippines that the former first lady killed my brother. But I need to know more because I don't know anything about her, but I know the other Alonzo's and what they are capable of." Black said and I looked at Doc. He gave me a forced smile.

Fate is a b*tch for me but for them Karma is. Maybe I'm not yet done with them, it's time for them to taste their own medicine.

"Can you help me?" I heard Mr. Black said in a broken tone. Help you find the real culprit of your brother? How can I say that you are looking at her.

"Yes, I will."

"Pangako?" I gasped when I heard that familiar language that I also tried to bury.

"Pangako." I respond and saw the confusion on Walt, Hook and the dwarves faces.

"It's a relief to know that you can speak in tagalog." Hector said.

"So it's settled, tomorrow is your flight to the Philippines." Walt announced.

After the discussion with Walt and Mr. Black. I went to the bar, I need a drink for me to sleep. I know I'm tired from all the sh*t that I've been through with Harris and now the mission with Mr. Black. I shot 2 glass of tequila.

"Hey" I looked to her porcelain face. It's Bambi. I didn't respond and shot another tequila. "Stop drinking, Snow. We have an early flight tomorrow." WE?

"We?" I asked.

"Yes, we. Me and Sebastian will join your mission with Mr. Black." I felt something when Bambi announced that she's part of this mission. A slight form of relief. I don't trust her, in fact I don't trust anyone anymore. But Bambi is one of the genuine pure soul that I met and I really wonder what makes her join this kind of job.

"Sebastian?" I sighed. Why him? The most annoying creature that I know.

"Yes! You heard it right princess." He said while drinking my tequila. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Go to your room and rest, Snow. You need strength." Bambi said in a worried voice.

"Are you my Ate Elena?" I whispered.

"What?"

"Nothing" I stand up and felt the heaviness of my head, and everything went black.

-

I woke up in an empty bed. This is a familiar room. Wait, why am I here? I got up and immediately reached the door. Before my hands touch the door knob, I heard a familiar voice.

"Vianie..." I turned to that voice direction and our eyes met. Anton.

"A.. Anton?" I stuttered. He grabbed my arm and pinned me to the wall. "Where are you going, slut?!" he shouted. I just looked at him, this is not real I whisper to myself. My senses are fighting, there's a part of me that wants to shout at him the way he shouted at me but I also want to cry a river in front of him.

"How can you do this to me? I loved you." Loved. I've seen this scene before.

"You're not real!" I exclaimed. His gripped on my arms loosened as he slowly fade away. I closed my eyes.

"Snow!" As I open my eyes, I saw the blue eyes of Bambi.

It's just a dream.
