CRUZ Chapter 29
When Philip met with his mother, he hid the fact that he visited Clara so as to avoid her suspicious questions.She might begin to think that he was slowly backing out of the scheme.She sat down on the sofa opposite the one he was sitting on. There was a table between them, "¿Adónde fuiste hoy?" "I went out for a meeting with someone. It was very important." He replied, sharply."I tried calling you but your phone was switched off. I am sure that you must have charmed Carmen because she refused to give me your location." Philip smiled within him. Carmen was the only person that he could entrust a secret to and she would keep it away from everyone even from his mother. Even if that secret would cost her life, she knew better than to spill it. "She is my secretary, you didn't need to interrogate her about my whereabouts.""Tú eres mi Hijo. How could I not question her?""What did you want to see me for?""I called for a meeting today concerning the Safari company." She said. "It's t

"I had to do it," Philip said looking at his brother. The shock on Henry's face was something that told Philip to take it easy with his words."You gave grandmother the name of their company to buy over?" Henry asked in a bewildered state."That was the first name I thought of, so I had to write it down. It's not like we are going to take over the company. We are just buying it." "Buying automatically means that you become the owner," Henry said. He turned to look at his mother who was listening to them. The three of them were the only ones in the hall, it wouldn't have been a good idea if someone else was there overhearing their arguments. "What are your plans against Clara and her family, Mom?" He asked sharply."So you think that because your brother decided to buy the company, then we have plans against her?" Maria asked. Sometimes, Philip thought so much about his mother's gift of being a hypocrite. She had the potential of being a good actress as well."I don't know what you gu

"You never told me that he was an obsessed psychopath!" Ella exclaimed covering her mouth with her hand. After this time, it was hard to believe that Philip was planning Clara's downfall when they thought that he was a good guy."He is not a psychopath," Clara said. From the look of it, Ella considered Clara to be either crazy or blind."He's a dangerous person, Clara. You shouldn't even be working in that company.""He won't do anything to hurt me.""Why are you so blind?""He won't hurt me because he cared enough not to let me rot in jail.""Maybe that's part of another plan of his.""I don't care about that, Ella. I don't want him to think of me as someone foolish enough to give up and not endure," Clara said. "I want to continue working there until he decides to throw me out."Ella did not doubt Clara's pig-headedness. All she wanted was for Clara to be safe along with her parents."Have...have you tried apologizing for what you did to him that day?" Ella asked, looking into Clara
CRUZ CHAPTER 1
One wrong swift, Vengeance awaits. Alexander popeNot many people could hear the loud voice of Maria's mistress, down the street on a rainy night in a mansion. The woman of the house was acting violent and her servant, Maria received the results of the violence with cries and pleads. Maria thought it was a dream when she was dragged out to the sitting room by her mistress and received heavy slaps with intensity. She couldn't endure the slaps, so she cried out and pleaded with the woman to forgive her for any wrong she might have done."No...no, please! Have mercy." Maria cried as she felt the impact of the slaps on her bare cheeks. "You ungrateful bitch! You tried to steal my husband away from me, after all, I have done for you and your son!" Her mistress yelled. She tossed Maria's bag outside while her husband and the servants watched the drama. Her baby was carried by a nanny who was disappointed at the scene."Por favor ten compasion!" Maria pleaded. She didn't kn

Clara shook hands with Manuel and Henry. She could feel Henry's eyes on her as Manuel and Dr. Mathew conversed in Spanish. Her heart beat faster when Philip came in and walked toward his father. Philip whispered something in Manuel's ears and Manuel nodded."It's time for me to make my speech, I will talk to you later on." Manuel said and walked to the stage."He is so full of energy." Dr. Mathew said to Philip."Mmm...He is trying his best to be strong." Philip said."I would like to thank you all for attending my sixtieth birthday party! I would like to thank my beautiful wife for her support and I would like to thank my son, Philip Cruz for his hard work, and also, my sweet handsome son, Henry. They have been there for me, so please appreciate them for me and enjoy yourselves!" Manuel said and everyone applauded cheerfully."You guys should talk together, I have to talk to your father." Dr. Mathew said as he walked toward Manuel.Philip noticed the way Henry stared at Clara, so he

Philip didn't ask too many questions as he drove but Clara was not used to the quietness. "What can I call you? I confess that it's a little uncomfortable to call you by your name." She said."It's okay to call me by my name, I'm not your uncle." He replied with a smile."Oh...but it's strange for me to call my boss by his name.""Just take it, that we are friends. No formality...well, except at work.""That's fine by me...so we are friends?""Yes, we are.""I can't wait to see your paintings." She said.Within some minutes, he arrived at the studio."Here we are." He said as they got out of the car.They went inside and entered a room where Clara saw Philip's paintings. She moved closer to one and touched it gently."I'll see you within some minutes, I need to talk to my manager." He said and left the room.Clara looked at his works, they were all special and exclusive, but he hadn't shown them to the world yet. She looked behind and saw an unfinished sketch, which she guessed that

When Phillip arrived at his house, he sat on the couch and sighed. Although he did not spend much time at the party, the day seemed long to him. It was already evening and he had to prepare his completed work for the exhibition tomorrow or he would be dismissed. He was familiar with statistics and corporate principles. They had no interest in knowing if he was the next CEO of the CRUZ enterprise. They would simply reject him if he did not respect their laws or principles, and Philip had learned to recognize this.Clara overheard a knock on her door after showering. She immediately put on her clothes and went to the door to unlock it."This package is for you, Miss, it's from Master Philip Cruz." A man said."Oh...yes. Thank you so much.""He also told me to give you this as an extra." He said and gave her a card."What is this...?""I have no idea, my job is to deliver.""Okay, thanks."The man walked away and Clara locked the door. She turned the card to its other side and screamed w
CRUZ CHAPTER 5
"How are you mom?" Philip asked as he kissed his mother on her forehead."I'm fine...and you?" "Okay." He said and sat down beside her."How is dad responding to the treatment?""He isn't responding well, he's dying fast."Philip kept quiet for a while and turned to his mother, "Why didn't you tell me that dad was sick?""I... didn't want to make you sad. It would have interrupted your life.""It wouldn't have interrupted my life. It's because you didn't want me to fall short of your desire. That's really cruel.""You wouldn't have been able to cope with the news.""You can't decide that for me. Even though you are my mother, you can't decide how you want me to feel."Maria looked at her son with obvious anger in her eyes. "I suffered for you, I did all I could to bring you to this point where you are. So I have the right to decide what goes on in your life, I decide what stays and leaves in your life."Philip stood up and walked out of the house without saying another word. He knew
