Dominick POV
“Sir Dom, Miss Carmilla had been calling you since last week.” Ivan said which is my assistant, while bowing his head. I stood up and walk to the window I meet the view of New York’s busy streets.
“Tell her I’m busy.” Which is true, I don’t have time for unimportant calls.
“Yes, Sir Dom” He left the office after that.
She’s been bugging me for how many years now. Not even once I answered her calls, emails and chat. I didn’t even open any of it, like for what. I already block her but she always has her ways, which is so damn annoying.
Since she chose my older brother ten years ago, now I don’t give a damn about her anymore. I will not let her control me. She believed that because I chased her for years magpapakatanga ako sakanya habang buhay. What a pathetic b***h.
She’s the reason why my family decided I should stay here in New York and manage the business. At first, I don’t want to but now after I achieved everything I decided to settle here for good. Well, I don’t have plans on going back to the Philippines. There’s no reason to go back to anyway.
While looking at the view of my office which is at the 30th floor of the building. I felt unbothered and relax.
What a nice view, what a nice life I have. Yet I still felt empty. May kulang parin pero hindi ko alam kung ano. I already have everything family, money, girlfriend, properties, fame. But there’s still something missing.
I heard a knock on the door which brought me back to reality. “Sir Dom, there is something you need to know.” He said trembling in fear, hmm he did something I don’t like. I raised my brow at him, telling him to continue. He should better tell me the truth or he will lose his job.
“I ac-accedentally open one of your email, wh-which is from Miss Carmilla.” Napakunot ang noo ko sa narinig which leads me massaging my forehead because of the stress. Napabuntong hininga ako, tsk.
There are three things that I told him not to f*****g mess up. One, do not open the f*****g emails and chats from her. Two, don’t f*****g answer her calls. Three don’t f*****g give her any information about me or the company. He messed up the second one and now he messed up again. I should hire another assistant.
“She emailed you regarding the de-death of y-your br-brother Sir.” Mukhang nabingi ata ako, I leaned on the table and look at him dead in the eyes. Napakuyom ang kamay ko na nakapatong sa misa. Napayuko naman ito at nanginginig sa takot.
“What the f**k did you say?” Madiing tanong ko dito. He did say it again, he did f*****g say it again.
“GET THE f**k OUT!” I scream at him and pointing the way out. He obliged then after I heard the door closed, because of the emotions I feel I punch the table multiple times.
“NO! THE f**k! NO!” I’m breathing hard, screaming my heart out and throw anything near me. I didn’t feel the pain of my punches and both my hands are already bleeding. I keep on punching and kicking until I no longer have the strength.
“No, you can’t be dead. Masama kang damo.” I sat on the floor, crying and cursing the person who killed him. At the same time, convincing myself that it’s not true, that im just dreaming. This is a nightmare, I wanna wake up. f**k.
When I felt that I’m already calm, it’s already dark outside. I get my phone from my pocket then call someone.
“Find out who killed my brother and ready the plane. ASAP.” I end the call after I said those words.
“You’ll f*****g pay whoever you are. I’ll f*****g hunt you down.”
It was 1 in the afternoon when Dom just arrived at the Philippines International Airport owned by his cousin Trevor Acosta. There are many reporters waiting for him outside the airport.
He doesn’t want to deal anything that isn’t related to his brother. So, he used the VVIP area, which is only used by their clan, to leave the airport peacefully, yet to his dismay it was surrounded with many reporters. The flash of the camera gives him a headache.
“Ivan get them the hell out of here.” He ordered his assistant who is following behind him. His surrounded with dark aura that’s why no one tries to disobey and they keep their distance from him.
“Yes Sir” he immediately ordered the guards to make the reporter leave the area. While waiting the area to be clear, he call Nacht. "Any news?"
"Still looking for it bro. It was a clean mission. Can't find any trace." Tsk. He ended the call, and light his cigarette to calm his raging nerves. He immediately leaved the airport once he finished his cigarette, maneuvering his Audi R8.
When Dom arrived at their mansion he immediately went inside. He saw his mom, Victoria, crying in the living room comforted by his sister, Denise. His dad, Dennis, was nowhere to be found.
“Mom why didn’t you call me immediately?” his mom and sister run to him when they saw him. They hug him tight seeking for comfort.
“Anak you’re here. We've just found Victor's body yesterday morning. We couldn't reached him since last week. We're looking for him but couldn't found any trace. Then his body showed up in one of our warehouse. H-he was t-tortured Dom." Napahagulgol na ito ng iyak na pa kuyom ang kamao ko sa narinig. Nangdidilim na rin ang paningin ko sa galit. Lintik lang ang walang ganti.
Hmm, it must be well planned even Nacht can't find any trace. f**k, what happen kuya. What did you do? This must be something serious.
"Kuya, we’ve been busy searching for the culprit. I’m sorry I couldn’t call you. Carmilla insist that she’s the one who’ll call you.” Yumakap na ito sa akin habang tumutulo ang mga luha nito. Nanginginig rin ito sa takot, mas nadagdagan ang galit ko sa gumawa nito kay kuya.
"His body is still at Lancaster Hospital, they're doing an autopsy. We're still waiting for the results. They told us its better to wait here." Sabi ni Denise at mas napahigpit ang yakap nito. Hinagod hagod ko lang ang likod nilang dalawa ni Mommy and kiss their forehead.
"Dom if you've seen Victor's body, you would immediately want to find the person who did this to him. It's inhumane. Your dad is with General Romano, they're at his office. Dom promise me, papanagutin mo ang gumawa nito sakanya. Promise me Dom." Watching my mom in this state ay napakasakit.
She used to be always calm and logical in every situation. She's always a breath of fresh air. She's the light of our lives. Im sure Dad was in misery seeing Mom like this.
Don't worry mom, I will make them pay no matter what it takes. We'll do anything to make them pay and for you to smile again. Not like before, because no words can explain how much pain your going through right now. But I promise you, we'll make you smile and happy again Mom.
"I promise mom." Bumitaw na ito sa akin at ngumiti ng mapait. Umupo ulit ito sa couch.
Maglalakad na sana ako papunta sa office ni Dad ng pigilan ako ni Denise sa kamay. Hinila niya ako sa sulok at tumitingin tingin sa paligid.
“Kuya I think something's wrong, about everything. And there’s something you need to know.” He looked at Denise eyes and he saw the seriousness in them.
His not used seeing his sister this serious. Denise tiptoed and whisper to his brother what she found suspicious on the death of his brother.
His face became dark due to rage. Pagtotoo talaga ang sinabi ni Denise hinding hindi kita mapapatawad. At sisiguraduhin kong magdudusa ka sa mga kamay ko.
