Roemer's POV
Ynoa: See you at home! ❤
I was staring at the last message of her. I was texting her multiple times but she did not reply. Damn it! I feel so uneasy.
I also tried to call her but damn! It's only ringing! Is she that busy? She clearly told me that she'll update me!
"Is everything okay?" Mr. Hizon asked. He's my business partner. I had to meet him during this dinner because we both are busy tycoon. I just nod as an answer trying to be calm. Pati siya ay napansin ang pagkabalisa ko.
I excused myself when my phone rang. Nagtaka naman ako nang makitang si Architect Harry ang tumawag.
I swiped my screen to answer the call. "Mr. de la Vega?"
"Speaking." malamig kong sambit.
"I know I shouldn't ask this but where is Ynoa?"
"Why are you asking me that?" my voice raised. May kung anong lumukob sa dibdib ko. And I decided to disregard it. Fuck jealousy. There were conclusions in my head but I fucking ignored it.
"Her last message was she's on her way. I am waiting for almost an hour." I clenched my jaw. Why didn't she tell me? Old friend huh? Harry is her old friend? I remember before that she told me she liked that damn architect!
"Where the fuck are you?" I asked.
He gave me the location. May kung anong kumulo sa dibdib ko. Kanina pa umalis si Ynoa, at nang sinabi ni Harry na isang oras na siyang nag-antay. Then that fucking means, Ynoa did not met him!
Fuck! Fear crept into my heart, all I think is her! She did not reply to any of my messages, she's not like this. Unless something happened to her.
If something bad happened to her, I swear I going to kill that damn architect.
Mr. Hizon understood when I said something urgent came up. I drove fast and maneuver my car swiftly. I stepped on the gas exceeding the speed limit. I don't give a fucking damn! Mom said Ynoa is not yet home! Then where the hell is she?! Where the fuck is she!
Worst scenarios flashed in my mind, it made me fucking lose my sanity.
Kaya nagdilim ang paningin ko nang makita si Harry sa tapat ng restaurant. Dahil sa sobrang galit, agad na dumapo ang kamao ko sa pisngi niya.
"Where the fuck is Ynoa?!" I screamed and grabbed his collar.
"I don't know." He whispered. Dumapo ulit ang kamao ko sa pingi niya at agad na tumilapon sa sahig.
"Let's find her." He uttered. He wiped the blood from the side of his lips and stood up. Even the guards failed to stop us. Naagaw namin ang lahat ng attensiyon pero wala akong pakialam!
"Damn it!!" I cursed. Napasabunot ako sa ulo ko dahil sa sobrang pag-aalala. Where the fuck is she?!
Mas dumilim ang paningin ko nang makita sa cctv ang paghablot nila kay Ynoa, papasok sa isang itim na van.
I clenched my jaw. Fuck it! Kaba, galit, at pag-aalala ang lumukob sa dibdib ko. Fuck! I don't know what to fucking do if something bad happens to her! She's my fucking everything!
I tried to set aside my emotions and used my fucking head. I tried to think rational and systematic. I pulled strings to deal with this. Madali at mabilis naming nasundan kung saan dinala ng van na iyon si Ynoa.
I instructed my man to stand by the area. Mauuna akong pupunta dahil kapag matunugan nila ang awtoridad maaring mapahamak si Ynoa.
"We should seek help from the authorities and higher ups!" Harry argued. I fucking threw him with a death glare. Huwag mong pigtasin ang pasensiya ko, kanina pa ako nagpipigil na huwag kang patayin. I clenched my teeth and tried to be calm.
"My man are more trustworthy than authorities. Don't understimate them, because most of them are retired army."
"Think of Ynoa!" He argued. I clenched my jaw and tried to control my temper.
"I fucking know what I'm doing." sambit ko at dumiretso sa sasakyan ko.
"I'll come with you." Harry uttered.
"Stay the fuck out of this. In case you forgot, you're the reason why this shit happened." malamig at madiin kong sambit.
"I know why this happened. And I am fucking sure of the person who's behind all of these." napatingin ako sa sinabi niya.
Kahit labag sa kalooban ay hinayaan ko siyang sumama. He sat on the passenger seat. I did not waste a fucking single second and drove the car fast.
My men gave me an earpiece. Since I have them, and they have undergone extensive training. And their agency is owned by my cousin who's in high position in army. I trust them better than anyonelse. I contacted my cousin, and reported this. Nagpadala siya ng kaunting tauhan niya para hulihin ang may pakana ng lahat.
"Our men are in their position. Do you see the house, sir?" rinig kong sambit ni Bert sa earpiece.
"Yes." I answered
Sa hindi kalayuan ay ipinark ko ang sasakyan. Para walang makatunog na mayroong ibang tao. Kinuha ko ng baril sa dashboard at linagyan ng bala. I know how to handle guns, and I know how to damn fight. Ibinato ko iyon sa kasama na agad niyang nasalo.
"I guess you know how to use that." I said. I loaded my gun and put it on the side of my waist.
Tumango lang siya at sinunod ang ginawa ko.
Nang makapasok kami sa bahay na iyon ay walang tao. The silence is making my head go crazy. Where the fuck is Ynoa?
Only footsteps and breathing were heard as we silently entered the rooms. Walang tao at walang kahit anong tunog.
It's not a mansion. It looks like a medicore house. It is not really spacious. The dim lights helped us to blend in with the dark.
It's a two story house, nang nalibot namin ang unang palapag ay maingat kaming umakyat. May tatlong mga pintuan, at kahit isa doon ay walang tao.
With dim lights, I saw a silhoutte of a man in the terrace holding a glass of wine. My blood boiled in an instant. I pointed my gun and aimed for his head.
Nang makalapit kami ay saktong lumingon ito.
"Frederick, you fucking psycho!" galit na sigaw ni Harry.
I grabbed his collar and pinned him in the wall. "Where the fuck is Ynoa?" I gritted my teeth and tightened my grip.
"She's not here." kalma niyang sagot.
"Where the fuck is she?!" I screamed angrily and punched his face. He spat blood but I don't give a damn!
"I sent her home." He whispered.
"Fuck you!! You're a psycho fucker!" napapikit siya nang sumigaw si Harry.
"You can check it. I really sent her home."
Nang napalibutan kami ng mga tauhan ko ay doon ko lang siya pinakawalan. Nanginginig ang kamay kong bumitaw. Because I can't fucking contain my anger, I punched him in the face using the corner of my gun. Agad na dumugo ang kanyang mukha. Na kahit isang porsyento ay hindi ako nakaramdam ng awa.
"Sir, kami na po ng bahala sa kanya." Bert said. Kinuha nila ang lalaking iyon at inilayo sa pangingin ko.
I called my cousin. "Let that fucking fucker rot and die in jail." Matigas at madiin kong utos sa pinsan ko.
"I understand where you're coming from, Roemer. I'll do everything, you know the process."
"Thank you, Reckon." I uttered and ended the call.
Only I and Harry were left in that fucking terrace.
"You fucking know that bastard?" my voice was cold.
"Y-yes. That bastard is Ynoa's stalker. I think it's better if you ask Ynoa yourself." He said, looking away.
"It's not my story to tell. Kung hindi niya sinabi sayo, baka hindi siya handa. Try to understand her, it wasn't easy." he added.
Pinigilan ko ng sarili na magtanong pa. Do they fucking know each other all along? I guess Ynoa did not lie when she said she's meeting an old friend.
A phone call interrupted us. Parang nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang makita kung sino iyon.
Ynoa's name appeared in my screen. I licked my lips as I answered her call.
"Roemer! I'm home. Where are you?" my heart felt at peace when I heard her soft voice. Mas napanatag pa ang loob ko nang marinig ang mumunting ingay ni Zeijan.
"I'm on my way, baby. Wait for me." I bit my lip and whispered.
