It's quite ironic. How right now all of them are in this room without knowing anything.
" Catalina, Why bring her?" Tanong ni Annika at Sumulyap Kay Aleana na nasa tabi Ng dalaga.
She smiled at Annika. " Aleana is a friend of mine. Moreover she is the Royalazena Heiress. You also know that right?" Sinulyapan nya Ang dalaga na masama Ang tingin Kay Aleana na busy lang sa page cellphone. " Maybe we will need her. After all her background isn't ordinary too." Dugtong nya pa.
" If she's beneficial. Let her stay here." Napatingin silang lahat sa nagsalita. They saw Marcos who was busy typing on his laptop with no expression on her handsome face.
Catalina chuckled. Looks like after what she did with the automobile Corporation a few weeks ago finally brings a good outcome.
Losing so much money really makes Marcos finally move. To use her again.
" It's nice to see you here Senior Marcos." Nakangiting pagbati ni Catalina sa binatang nasa kanyang harapan. Finally Marcos looked at her but What Catalina just felt was disgust and nothing else.
Afterall in the past. This same scenario happened.
She thought that Marcos loved her. So she Gave him the access to the Abestreu Family and in the end. Marcos used that stupidness of her to destroy her own family.
Why?
Catalina shook her head. " Won't you greet me back Senior Marcos? Aren't we comrade?" Tila nagtatampo na sambit nya.
Why? I also don't why? If I knew, would I need to hate him this much?
" What kind of greeting do you want me to do?" Matalim syang tiningnan Ng binata.
" A simple one maybe." Catalina tried to smile even though she just wanted to kill the man Infront of her.
" Are you really here for an alliance? Our target afterall is your boyfriend. The Dremor Clan Master Gavin Dremor." Naramdaman ni Catalina Ang paggalaw ni Aleana sa tabi nya but of course Aleana won't make it obvious so does she.
" My boyfriend? Or me?" She displayed such an innocent smile with that question but that only makes Marcos gaze at her more intensely.
The target of this Alliance isn't the Dremor Clan at All but her family. The Abestreu Clan.
Reasons?
First: Annika won't dare to do anything to the Dremor Clan since Sierra was already the future Dremor Lady in anyone's eyes.
2nd: The Dremor Clan isn't a simple family. To destroy them you need to destroy yourself more but can Marcos and Annika dare do that when what they want is success not failure.
Lastly: Gavin is the youngest Master of the Dremor Clan. The world knows how intelligent he is. Do you think these two will bet something they are unsure of winning.
Different from the Dremor Clan. The Abestreu Family is an easy target.
1st: The both of them don't have connections with this family but Annika grew up with them. She knows every scent of secrets they have.
2nd: The Abestreu Family was full of holes. They might be considered the most powerful Family but actually they don't really have power.
3rd: The Heir to the Abestreu Clan. My Brother. Cain Abestreu isn't intelligent and has no interest in the business world.
If we're talking about the most possible target. The Abestreu Clan is the best prey.
" Of Course I'm serious about this Alliance. Moreover the Dremor Clan isn't that important to me?" Nakangiting sagot nya sa binata.
And the key to success to their Plan
" I'm sure of that. Maybe Catalina was just being with that man because you always reject him. Senior Marcos." Sabat ni Annika at lumapit Kay Catalina. " If Gavin is important to her. Would she be here?" Nakangiting tanong nito Kay Catalina. " Right?"
Was me...
Catalina noded. " Yes, what's the point of Joining this alliance? If it won't be beneficial to me. " Muli siyang napa sulyap sa binatang seryoso pa din na nakatingin sa kanya. "Believe me Senior Marcos. I'm not an intelligent one." Pagpapatuloy nya.
The key to destroy the Abestreu Clan was me. The dearest Princess of that Family. Catalina Abestreu.
" Fine." Pagsuko ni Marcos at muling tinutok Ang tingin sa laptop.
But...
Isang maliit Ang lumitaw sa labi ni Catalina.
Do you think I let you use me?
'In Russia'
" What?" Tila Hindi makapaniwala SI Eleanor sa narinig.
Did she just hear his father right? For him to let go of his brother. He needed to kill the person that she loved the most, which is Catalina?
" I don't think you're hearing things my daughter. The request was too simple, wasn't it?" Tanong Ng kanyang ama at sumandal sa upuan nito.
" Too simple! Father! What you are asking him was too much! You want him to kill Catalina, which is his own happiness!" Hindi makapaniwala na sigaw ni Eleanor sa ama.
Napatayo SI Alexander at Galit na tumingin sa kanyang anak. " Happiness? He can get all that happiness but not her? Not that little princess of the Abestreu Clan!" Sigaw nya.
" Why?"
" Because she doesn't deserve that." Madiin na bigkas nito.
-Back at Lim Automobile Company-
" You want me to make the Dremor Clan support the Luan Company and Lim Company?" Catalina asked, with composed in her tone. Afterall she knows what these two are planning.
Lumapit sa kanya SI Annika at hinawakan Ang kamay nya. " I'm sure. It would be easy for you. Right?" Pakiusap ni Annika na tila ba inosenteng anghel na Walang iniisip na masama.
Catalina smiled and looked at Marcos who's staring at her.
It was easy to Manipulate Annika but Marcos is a different one. In order to destroy him. She must trust her but the status of the dearest Princess of the Abestreu Clan makes it impossible but if I create another Identity. Would it still be hard to gain his trust?
Muli syang bumaling Kay Annika. " Ofcourse it's easy for her. The Dremor Clan is not that hard to manipulate." Malambing na sagot ni Catalina Kay Annika.
Ofcourse that was a lie. If it was easy to manipulate the Dremor Clan. She should already have the recognition of Gavin's people but right now. Only 1/4 of the Dremor Clan truly trust her.
Maybe just dying Infront of them. Will make them recognized her.
" But do It really need to be the Dremor Clan?"
But if dying was the only option. She will embrace it willingly. After all once she received the recognition of the Dremor Clan even Alexander Dremor-- Gavin's Father can't do anything.
" Why?" Nagtataka na tiningnan sya ni Annika.
" I mean the Dremor Clan is the lowest family among the top three." She rolled her eyes. " Even my family or Aleana's family are way higher than them. Why make them support? If my family can do that?" Naka taas Ang kilay na tanong nya.
Catalina saw the smile that Annika tried to hide. Thinking that I fall deeper into their plan. Isn't it amazing? Watching them stupidly believing the lie I created my self.
" Do you mean that you will let the Abestreu Clan support the two family?" Bumaling Ang tingin ni Catalina sa harapan nya where Marcos is.
" Ofcourse I can do that. Afterall I am dearest Princess of the Abestreu Clan."
The plan that I have it's just simple. Making them believe that I am falling deeper to their plan without them noticing. That the one who actually manipulating everything was me.
I will make the two of you pay the pain you caused me. This is my revenge and our final battle.
'In Russia'
Umiling Ang kanyang Ama. Unable to grant his daughter's request. " If your brother can't do it. I will destroy the Abestreu Clan."
" Father, How could you be so crucial? Why must you take away my brother's happiness again and again?!"
" She is not your brother, Happiness, Eleanor! If Gavin will still be hard headed. Going back to the Philippines to personally destroy that family will be my first option." Gigil na gigil na wika nito sa Anak.
Umiling iling SI Eleanor. She must have begged his father. He can't go back. He must stop him from destroying everything again. " Father, Don't go back to the Philippines. I'm begging you. My brother was already happy. I won't let you took away that happiness from him." Muling tumulo Ang luha sa mga mata ni Eleanor.
Napa Iwas Ng tingin SI Alexander Ng muling tumulo Ang luha sa kanyang anak. He loved his children but Gavin remained stubborn. He doesn't have a choice but to push him into pain if necessary.
" I won't go back to the Philippines if you can get me something from your brother's belongings instead."
Eleanor feels like she see some hope and looked at her father. " What is it?"
" Your mother Necklace that is in your brother hands. Give it to me." Makapangyarihan na Tugon nito.
Natulala SI Eleanor sa kinatatayuan. " My mother Necklace? Why do you need it father?" Naguguluhan na tanong ni Eleanor.
Why would her father change his decision because of a necklace?
Alexander gently shook his head. " Only the necklace and anklet was missing from your mother's belonging. If I can get the necklace to your brother. The Anklet won't be a problem." Saad nito na may ngiti sa labi.
Hindi maiwasan na mapaatras ni Eleanor. The smile that his father showing is so scary. As if a devil was Infront of her.
" Why do you need the necklace?" Ulit na tanong nya.
Alexander once again looked at his daughter with amusement in his eyes. " If I get it. I can bring your mother back."
Napailing SI Eleanor. " My mother already die 12 years ago."
Eleanor thought that his father will offended because his father hated hearing things about there mother death even she. His favorite daughter will be punished if she would say something.
" Yes she is but it doesn't matter. I can bring her back." Tila nababaliw na Turan nito.
" How Father?"
" Because you're mother is not a human at all."
-Few Days Later-
" Brother." Pagtawag ni Catalina sa kanyang Kapatid na SI Cain pagpasok nya sa office nito.
" It's rare that you visit me." Nakangiting bungad ni Cain sa nakababatang Kapatid. " Maybe because I need something." Taas kilay na sagot nya sa Kapatid.
Cain pout. " You just remember me when you need me." Aniya na tila nagtatampo.
" Stop that act. Why don't you just be thankful kuya that's when I need someone. I choose you." Umupo sya sa upuan malapit sa table Ng Kapatid.
" So, What do you need?" Pagsuko ni Cain at muling naupo. Puno Ng paperwork Ang table nya dahil ilang araw syang naggala kasama ni Lea.
" I have a proposal. Read it." Wika ni Catalina at inabot Ang Isang itim na folder Kay Cain.
Since her sister is back. She felt that she is different from what she used to be. Her bratinella sister became too mature that's its feel like she is not Catalina.
Maybe being in A Relationship with Gavin change her. Cain just hope that Catalina won't ever hurt Gavin because the pain that Catalina caused him in the past was already enough for him to disgust her.
But even though. He treat Gavin as his own brother and the Abestreu Clan did wrong. It's still his family and he will protect it from anyone even if it was Gavin.
Cain open the folder and looked at her sister shockingly. " Catalina, You want me to support the Lim and Luan Family! Are you crazy?" Napatayo ito sa kinauupuan sa gulat.
Catalina just crossed her legs. He already expect this reaction from his brother. Afterall he was really heartbroken about how Annika lied to him.
" The Luan Family is where Annika belong. Did you forget about the party! How she betrayed all of us?!"
" Annika is my bestfriend, brother. She might be a playgirl but the friendship that we have is so strong." Pangangatwiran nya.
Tumalim Ang mga titig ni Cain. She wanted to shout to her sister but she tried to control himself. He thought she change but she still not.
" What about The Lim Company! Isn't that the family of Marcos? Are you planning to betray Gavin!" Galit na sigaw nito.
Panandaliang natahimik SI Catalina. " I don't have any plan to hurt Gavin." Madiin na bigkas nya.
In her heart. Gavin is the most important. Betraying Him it's impossible.
" Then why the Lim Company? Why the Luan Family? These two was just using you." Pigil Ang Galit na Turan ni Cain sa Kapatid.
Catalina just smiled. " Brother being used isn't that bad at all. Afterall we really doesn't know who's using who." Wika nya na may kakaibang ngiti sa mga labi.
" But don't worry brother. I know how you hated these two. So I won't let you work to them." Tumayo SI Catalina sa pagkakaupo and placed her most beautiful smile Infront of her brother.
" What do you mean?"
" Because I plan to work here in the Abestreu Company as the general manager next to you." Sagot nya.
" Why suddenly you have interest to the Abestreu Company?"
" If someone wants to be powerful. They must bet everything they have. This time I am betting the whole Abestreu Clan just to destroy them. Afterall this is the final battle." With my dearest bestfriend Annika.
Tinalikuran nya na Ang Kapatid. She is just her to inform Cain since she can't request this stupidness to her father. His brother loved her that's why she's sure na Hindi siya nito ipapahamak.
Cain might hate Annika and Marcos but he love her.
" Catalina wait." Napatigil Ang dalaga sa paglabas Ng office Ng Kapatid Ng tawagin nito Ang pangalan nya.
" If you have plan. Postpone it." Lumitaw Ang seryosong ekspresyon sa mga mukha ni Cain.
Tiningnan sya Ng may pagtataka ni Catalina. His brother is so serious.
" Why?" Taas kilay na tanong nya. Can someone changed her plan?
" Grandfather will come back few days from now." Nabitawan ni Catalina Ang dalagang bag sa gulat. " If you doesn't want to be stripped off the title of the Abestreu Princess. Don't do anything." Dugtong nya pa.
As Cain watched her sister frightened expression. He sighed after all the one who controls the Abestreu Clan is his grandfather. The one who makes Catalina leave the Abestreu Clan is also him.
He control everything to the extent that he once make my sister killed herself.
Catalina shooked her head. " Why I am getting surronded by enemies?" She sighed as she fell down. Her knees doesn't have any strength at all.
If Gavin have his Father who controls his whole life. Catalina have his grandfather who controls everything in his life. The once grandfather who taught her pain and hatred is now back? How ironic?
