Married to The Ruthless Magnate

Chapter 10: Reviving Phoenix

NAPAKUYOM ng kamao si Gabrielle habang nakikinig sa kambal. Bumalik sila sa loob ng apartment at doon nag usap.

"Sorry, Gabby. We really did everything we could to hold on to Phoenix but Bloom Publishing kept on pressuring us."

Bloom publishing is one of the oldest publishing in the industry and it is their biggest competitor.
They are also experts in playing dirty.

"They poached each of our writers and they also paid few of our people just to backstab us kaya biglang nawalan ng malaking pera ang Phoenix. Our investors back out one by one. Tinalikuran kami ng mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan namin. Forgive us Gabby." Kyla was in tears remembering what they had been through.

They were bashed and they were hated by people dahil sinisisi sila sa biglang pagkawala ni Genesis to the point of being thrown by rotten eggs on the road.

Their car being vandalized at hindi nawawalan ng protesta ang labas ng Phoenix. They were pressured to bring back Genesis.

"No, I don't hate you guys. Ang kinagagalit ko ay bakit pati kayo hindi nila tinantanan? If they want Phoenix to close that badly, hinayaan na nila sana kayo."

Bloom Publishing was the main reason kung bakit sila naghihirap. Nang mag close ang Phoenix nawalan sila ng trabaho at kahit saan sila mag apply malaki o maliit man na posisyon, walang tumatanggap sa kanila at alam nilang pakana din iyon ng Bloom.

"Kahit nga pagiging Janitor na posisyon walang tumatanggap sa amin." Napatawa ng pagak si Kurt.

"Sa unang taon na nawala ka, we still survived kahit nawalan kami ng trabaho. We sold our condo and cars though. Yung mga pinagkatiwalaan mo noon, tinalikuran din kami. Wala kaming masagot kung bakit ka nawala."

Gabrielle was the brain of Phoenix Publishing kaya nagkagulo lahat nang nawala siya. Para silang pinutulan ng ulo kaya bumagsak ito.

Ulilang lubos sina Kyle at Kurt, nawalan sila ng magulang noong highschool sila kaya silang dalawa na lang ang nagtutulungan para makaahon sa hirap.

Nakapagtapos ng kolehiyo ang dalawa dahil sa sarili nilang tiyaga at sikap. Nagtatrabaho sila habang nag aaral kaya galit si Gabrielle sa sarili niya dahil siya ang dahilan kung bakit sila naghihirap ulit at galit na galit siya sa ginawa ng Bloom Publishing sa kanila.

"I should be the one asking for forgiveness dahil wala ako when you two needed me the most."

Kyla and Kurt smile. "Nandito ka na at ang mahalaga ligtas ka."

"Don't worry, I am planning to revive Phoenix and Genesis. This time, I will make sure na sila naman ang babagsak." Gabrielle's voice was firm. She could've let them go but what they did to the twins just urged her to destroy them.

She then looked at the twins with a slight smile. "I'll understand if you guys choose not to join me again."

"Phoenix was already part of our life. You have us Gabby and we will join the battle." Kurt smiled.

Ngumiti si Gabrielle bago tumingin kay Kyla. "You can count on us Gab at isa pa gusto kong humalakhak ng malakas pag nakikita kong sila naman ang maghihirap."

Gabrielle chuckled. "We'll be starting from scratch kaya hindi yun magiging ganun kadali but I promise, I'll make them pay for what they've done."

Magsasalita pa sana si Kyla nang may kumatok sa pinto kaya napatayo siya para buksan to.

"Sino sila?" She asked.

"I worked for Miss Gabrielle, Can I talk to her for one moment, Miss?"

"Uhh..." Napatango lang si Kyla bago binuksan ng malaki ang pinto.
