GREEN EYE

CHAPTER 5

MHAVEL POV

Things are getting worst every time my secrets was being exposed, I can't even handle my temper, I cannot let go of anyone who saw it, even if killing them would make them silent I will do so.

Still, my father has his other way, he is much softer than me and mom, he uses his money to solve anything, though sometimes it didn’t turn out good and that is the time I make my own way.

The last person who saw it was the man I have s*x with; fortunately he was silent by fifty thousand dollars cash.

I woke up inside Mom’s room hugging her clothes, my life becomes different when she died until now I cant move on to that, especially I believe that she didn’t die of her illness, she was murdered!

That year when she was still alive she is strong and healthy, she used to be vibrant and jolly but hard to become an enemy especially regarding my secret.

It was late at night when we are about to meet Dad for a dinner, we got involve in a sort of road commotion, the driver got into a fight with the driver of the other car, they hit the bumper of our car that made my head hit the window and I bleed.

My mom was so worried about me, I actually felt dizzy going out of the car, and my eyes got a little blurry looking at my mom and our driver fighting with the other side,

I was about to fall to the ground when I saw my mom was being groped in the shoulder of a woman who just gets out of the car.

She holds my mom in the shoulder and whispers in her ear, I try to recognize the woman’s face but I can't, and then after a minute, I was passed out.

After that incident, my mom starts to act weird, most of the time I just found her staring at one corner, she became silent and as the day passed, she suddenly became weak and got sick, until it ends her life.

Even now, I cant seem to remember the face of that woman even the plate number of their car but I will never stop until I get my revenge!

I can't seem to trust people now, sometimes I dreamed of my mom warning me about something bad to happen but I just ignore it.

So now that the company is being passed to me by Dad as a CEO, I don’t know if I can make it, I don’t know if I can start again.

Though I really don’t like to be a CEO, I have no choice since this is one of my mom’s wishes.

I have been sleeping for 15 hours and I am supposed to be at the office at 8 am, but it is almost 3pm now.

I still composed myself, fixing my clothes and other things; I still manage to go to the office.

Everyone was so surprised seeing me late at work, I don’t care, I only need to manage the company and that’s it, I can still have the whole time for myself.

While sitting in my chair, my mind is still roaming around my thoughts of my mom’s incident, it is actually her birthday this coming Tuesday so I planned to go there as early as possible.

That ancestral house is where I stayed when I was 10 years old until I have my 16th birthday, mom owned the house, and it is from my grandparents, my dad said there is a rumour there about the ghost that is roaming around the house though our system IT never got any kind of it so I never believe it.

That house was built with high end IT base automatic lock system, its one of the finest, it only recognizes the body temperature of the person that is registered to it.

So far it is me my dad and the caretakers, since Dad is very nice, he allowed the couple of caretakers to go home at ten in the evening after they do the routine check all over the house.

All my mom’s things and leftover antiques are being kept there so the house needs to be protected.

Even I get there anytime the house would still open and recognize me.

I am on my way to Calamba, I actually wanted to invite Dad but he has an important matter to do, so I just get there myself.

Entering Laguna, it will only take 45 minutes for me to get to the house, I check the time and it is almost 9 pm, I guess the caretakers are already left.

I arrive at 9:40 pm and just get my things and walk towards my mom’s room, I hate lights on so I remain the whole house as dark as it is even in my room.

I just lay down on the bed; I can still smell mom’s fragrance here. My eyes were about to close when I heard a footstep.

I don’t know if I should be scared since I am aware of the ghost rumours here but I don’t seem to feel that way, the footstep continues to bother me so I try to stand up and tries to look around the room from darkness even it will be hard for me to check on it, I slowly walk towards the middle part of the room even I can't really see it.

On my third step, I was shocked when I bump into someone, I fell down back to the bed and the body that I was stumbled upon is now on top of me.

I quickly hold the shoulder and arms then the chest..

“You are a woman! Who are you b***h?” I exclaimed

I look closely and all I can see in her eyes, she was wearing a black bodysuit and a face mask.

I try to hold her but she manages to stand up and was about to run away but I grabbed her hair that stops her.

She starts to attack me though I guess her height is only within my shoulder, she throws a punch that luckily I avoid, then I hold her hand but she throws another attack that I didn’t anticipate, she hit me by her head then starts to run away from me, I followed her then I quickly press the button of the gate to activate the electric wire around it but it will take twenty seconds to activate it and she was about to jump the fence going out so I grab the plant knife to point and throw it to her, I hit her mask and I saw her side face right after she escapes.

Damn!!! Those bastards try to steal to my mom’s house! That woman knows how to fight huh, still if I get the chance to grab her it will be her biggest mistake.

I know martial arts as well; I am even good about it, they f*****g believe in the rumoured ghost but didn’t prepare for those kinds of thieves.

I guess they are good about this, it is impossible they didn’t know how this house works; they can even get in without even activating the alarm, so they planned about this.

I just breathe out the air feeling pissed, I really hate her! Whoever she is I will surely find those bastards!

I walk inside the house feeling tired and pissed, I really don’t know why there are people who would do such things!

I was about to enter my room when I suddenly stopped, I know I saw something so I slowly walk to the dining table again, then the human figure thing just disappears.

I just shake my head, I guess it's just my imagination and the result of what happened earlier, maybe I get too aware now of any intruders.

The birthday party was a success; Dad arrives here Tuesday morning I didn’t mention to him what just happened last Sunday night coz I will assure him it will never going to happen again.

Few friends and relatives are just being invited, we limit the people who will in and out of the house.

The party ended well, me and Dad left the house right after the party, he reminds me that we will meet his best friend uncle Alfred tomorrow, he owns the Sebastian group of company which is our sister company, he mentions that I also need to familiarize about the SGC, so what can I do but to follow them.

When we get to our house here in Manila, I just head my way to my room, I felt really tired and exhaust, I enter the washroom and look at the mirror, I am now facing who I am, the weirdest part of me something that I have been researching and looking for a piece of information.

I don’t why I am like this; at first, I doubt myself if I am really their daughter and not adopted, but all their blood and DNA is a match to me.

So maybe there is really behind this curse…

Damn this…why do I need to have a lot to discover and to uncover, I just washed my hand to my face then sit inside the tub then open the water.

I just got to the SGC building at exactly 9 am, Dad will follow me later and Uncle Alfred will be here in 15 minutes.

While waiting I browse my social media account when someone enters the office.

She wears an exact look of a secretary, maybe she is the one that Dad mentions, which a pretty-faced secretary of Uncle Alfred.

She was busy looking at her papers upon entering, and then I saw the shocked all over her face when she looks at me.

I don’t know if she just feels afraid about my presence since I never smile at anyone.

“You must be Uncle Alfred's secretary, well, get me a drink will you!” I ordered her

“I am sorry you must be mistaken, I never get orders from people I just met and I only obey a command if it is from my boss, apparently you are not my boss!” she said which makes my brow up.

Damn this low lie creature! Who does she think she is? No! I will never let anyone treat me that way!

I stand up and face her; I look at her from head to toe with my crossed arms.

“My Dad told me that you are pretty, and he is right, though he didn’t even know how ugly your attitude is!” I said still with my brow up

“Just because I let you know that I am not a person you should boss around since you are not even my boss, I have an ugly attitude now? Really?” her response trying to level herself to me

“You think I don’t get that? Look little girl, why don’t you search on Google that a secretary’s function is to assist their boss's visitor! unless it is difficult for you to treat people in the right manner?” I said and the way she was shut up with my response I guess she finally gets it.

She didn’t respond again and get out of the office, I just rolled my eyes when she left.

That girl has really an attitude problem! Well, I don’t give a f**k on her! I can even talk to Uncle Alfred to just fire her!

After a minute or two she enters the office again with a drink that I ordered, she didn’t even throw me a look and just sit at her table.

Then Uncle Alfred and Dad arrive.

“Hey there.. Still beautiful like your Mom,” Uncle Alfred said when I greeted him and kiss him on his cheeks.

I did not respond to him and I just get myself back to sit, then Dad starts to talk.

“Look, Avhel, I know you are aware of the connection of our company to SGC, so I need you to familiarize yourself with everything around here” Dad explains since I already know that, I did not respond to him and just give a simple nod for my approval.

“I guess you seem to understand what we are talking about, now I would like you to meet my personal assistant and secretary, Sanhia Almoral,” Uncle Alfred said that surprised me.

He even gets the secretary’s attention and makes her join us which makes me rolled my eyes.

“Yes sir?” she asks

“I would like you to meet the new CEO of our sister company, the Bernards Corporations, Mhavel Bernards daughter of my trusted friend” he explains

I can see the confusion drawn all over her face which is most likely the confusion I am feeling right now about what is happening.

“Hi, I am Sanhia Almoral, the personal assistant and secretary of Mr. Sebastian” she formally introduces herself to me and lays her hand for a handshake which I am not comfortable to do so I just ignore her.

“Alright, I guess the introduction is over, maybe we can now discuss our plans,” Dad said that obviously trying to cover my attitude towards this girl!

“So, what was this all about then?” I ask with my rolled eyes again

“Well, Sanhia here will be the one to teach you about everything, about the SGC and how to become a proper CEO for our company,” Dad explains that shocks me

“What!?, No way!!” I exclaimed!

“Just hear us please, Sanhia has been working for me for almost 4 years, she knew exactly how to handles you and how to introduce our company to you, it will just one to two weeks of being with her as your mentor” Uncle explains

“Are you both trying to insult me? This little girl will be my mentor? Wow! No way! That will never be going to happen!” I said then walk away from them out of the office

I don’t know, but I don’t seem to get along with her, I just don’t!!!
