Chapter 105: Chapter 105

Will

After the party I went straight to my car to drive home and rest my head. I sat in and closed the door when a gun slowly pointed to my head

“don't look back” the masculine voice said

“how did you—”

“—don't ask questions either” the voice warned

I exhaled and sat still

“drive and follow the GPS” he said and I slowly started the car. The GPS turned on and I sighed again. How did he even get into the car talk more of setting the GPS?

I began to drive, following the GPS with the gun firmly resting against my head. I would have tried those skills in action movies where they grab guns but I couldn't for two reasons, first this is reality and second, I'm a romance actor not Vin Diesel.

I kept driving till we got out of Manila. I was scared, I tried to do something to help myself but I knew that guy was firmly watching me from behind and that gun to my head made me do nothing.

The drive was getting too long and just when I almost lost it, the GPS pad said Destination Reached. I sighed softly

“open the door and step down with your hands above your head” the man said.

I slowly got down and placed my hand on my head. I looked at the mini sized plane standing on the field just ahead of us. Men were standing there and I figured they were going to take me on the plane.

Suddenly my face got covered with a bag. I groaned loudly and tried to remove it but I was kicked in the legs and I feel to the floor. I was pulled up and got pushed forward

“walk and don't try to do anything funny or I'll pull this trigger” a different voice said and I obediently obeyed.

As I walked forward without seeing a thing, I felt a cold hand hold my wrist and I stopped walking

“boss wants him alive and well, putting a bag over his head could suffocate him. So...” the voice stopped. Next I felt a syringe dipped into my neck, I shivered slightly and lost consciousness in less than thirty seconds.

“hey, you're up” Eliza said as she sighted me coming down the stairs

“yeah I am” I answered and walked to her on the couch

“how are you feeling?” she asked

“terrible headache” I answered and leaned on her

“I'll get you some pain killers” she said and I sat properly. She stood up and walked away. She was watching TV and I tried to watch too but it made my head pound so I just did myself the favour of looking away.

She got back with W glass of lukewarm water and a a tablet for me to take. I collected them and took the drug then proceeded to drink down the whole water. Drinking lots of water actually helps in curing headaches.

“are you hungry?”

“Nah. I'm good” I answered and placed my legs on the couch

“what did you tell Fred?” I asked

“that you haven't returned”

“he'd be worried”

“yeah. I'll come him and tell him you're home later” she stated and I nodded

“do you wanna go on a vacation this holiday instead of going home?” Eliza asked

“vacation? To where?” I asked

“we could go out of the country” Eliza said and I looked at her and arched a brow

“out of the country?” I asked like I didn't hear what she said

“yeah. We could go to the US. Or, UK. How about the Maldives? Let's just go somewhere fun” she said and stood up

“no Eliza. I don't have money to spare for vacation. The one I have left, I can just use it to fend for myself for the next years I've got in school. And what about when I graduate? Won't I need money to start up something? I don't wanna be extravagant, spend all my money and go back to being a pauper” I said and closed my eyes

Eliza sighed loudly

“when was the last time you read your text messages?” she asked

“I don't know. There's nothing important there anymore. All the messages there are from customer care services” I answered not opening my eyes

“you have an unread message that has been there for the past two months” she said

“customer care”

“it's not customer care”

I didn't speak, was waiting for her to tell me what it was

“it's an alert of 5 million pesos from Wilbur Sanders” she stated and I jerked my eyelids open and threw myself up

“WHAT!” I asked

“he sent it to you on the night you guys broke up” she said

“what? No he didn't. He didn't tell me he sent me anything” I said

“maybe he just didn't tell you. I actually found out yesterday and I was so surprised. Really surprised” Eliza said

“he sent me that much? Where is my phone? I don't believe you” I said

“you left it upstairs I think. I'll go get it” she said and ran upstairs. I sat down

“five million pesos? That much? Why?” I asked myself

Then I tried to remember what happened that night

(short flashback)

“let's just get this over with. Mari I'm breaking up with you” he said with a stern expression

“pardon?”

“I'm sure you heard me right. I've lost my feelings for you and good thing is, I already found a new lover. I was with her that night before I got drunk“

I was just staring at him. I didn't comprehend any word

“I'm sorry it has to end this way Marigold Cruz. We had a fun time together but it's over now. Make sure you take care of yourself with this” he said and typed into his phone. My phone beeped and he smiled at me, took his phone, walked up to me, kissed me on my forehead for like five or more seconds and left.

(end of flashback)

“oh, so that's when he sent the money? But thinking about this now, why did he linger when he was kissing my forehead? He didn't feel like he wanted to leave me, did he?” I asked myself

“here it is!” Eliza squealed as she raced down the stairs.

She sat beside me and handed me the phone

“I remember when he sent it now. He typed on his phone that night and mine beeped. But I didn't take note” I said as I stared at the message. Eliza had already opened it before giving it to me.

“he's still very generous. So what do you say? Vacation or not? You can't say no because taken out of this won't make you poor”

“where exactly do we go?” I asked and she jumped up

“yes!”
