"But sir Thomas, would it be okay if you tell a story about how you became a rich man?" Diego asked in wonder."Why do you ask that, Diego?""J-just to kill time sir Thomas. However, if you don't want to tell your story... then it's fine by me!""Not a problem," said Thomas. "Besides, my story before becoming a disgusting rich is really something that you might find inspirational. As a matter of fact, I had plenty of opportunities to share my stories to different people. Born in Olongapo in November 1945, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Wanting to escape poverty, I followed my father in Metro Manila only to experience a miserable youth here. I struggled hard living in Metro Manila and had to learn to get along. Determined to become successful, I worked hard day and night to provide for my needs.I started out with small business stores that helped them in their day-to-day life. Me and my father lived in a small space until the fruits of our labor made them successful i

Thomas' phone suddenly rang again and when he checked it, Vincent was the one calling him. He put his phone in a loudspeaker in order for Carlo to hear his conversation as well."Hello sir Thomas, I think I already know the relation of that young boy with the hostage!" said Vincent who was grasping to breathe."And how did you know about that?" Carlo asked."Answer him," said Thomas who knew that Carlo was indeed lying from the very start.Thomas lowered his voice to avoid being caught by Sergio or his men. "His name is Efron, I happened to recognize his face because my daughter is a student of his. And the hostage's name is Tricia, I saw her twice at the bar and she was actually quite popular there. I managed to infiltrate their warehouse without being noticed so I guarantee you that I am right!"Carlo felt it was the end of his world and his lies were about to be exposed... but not when Vincent continued speaking again. "Actually, Efron and Tricia might have a relationship!"Carlo t

"Don't make me laugh, you cannot cover up the fact that he is a cunning evil. I will surely not forget about this one!" "And what are you planning to do then? Don't tell me you're going to avenge your own father!" Rachel did not reply, instead she comes up with some ideas on how to expose her father. Since she was a kid, she knew all the underground businesses of her father like smuggling different weapons to the terrorists and human trafficking to name a few. All she needs is to have enough evidence to convict her father. "It seems like you are planning something, Rachel. Am I right?" asked Diego. "The way your eyes move, I knew it... you are coming up with the best idea in order to get rid of your father!" Rachel then tried to seduce Diego in order to obtain some information that might be helpful for her. "Okay Diego... since we are already having a wonderful conversation, why don't we try to rekindle our relationship?" "You're smart-ass, Rachel... you are going to use me in ord

Thomas frowned. "There is a change of your speech pattern and that only means you are not telling me the truth, Efron! Probably, when you found out that I am the father of Carlo's wife, you decided to cover up that prostitute woman so I wouldn't harm her by any chance. Isn't that right, young boy?"Efron looked down in disappointment. In his mind, he was wondering what's with Thomas that he almost caught him lying despite the fact that they did know each other in person. "This guy... I am sure he is not a nice guy... but for him to have that kind of analysis, this guy is damn intelligent. I should not tell him that I am lying otherwise, it might put Tricia in a big trouble. All I need to do is to be consistent with my statement and I shall be okay!"Thomas' bodyguard slapped Efron on his face and his hand marked on his face. "Fucking idiot, we've got no time to play with you. Answer my boss' question!"Thomas who was shocked by what his bodyguard did yelled at him. "Damn it... don't t

Thomas and Sergio found themselves in a very difficult situation and they ordered their people to surrender peacefully. They all dropped their guns and the police restrained them. Efron used this opportunity to untie Tricia."Hey Tricia, you're safe now," said Efron who was relieved as he succeeds in saving the only woman that he loves.Tricia cried. "You're a scumbag Efron... you should not come here!"Thomas suddenly spoke to the police, telling them that he can't be arrested and demanding them to uncuffed him."Listen to me... I am a billionaire and I can exploit my powers to avoid getting arrested. You can do this to any other people except for me!""Dad, please do not try to say such a thing. They might add additional cases against you," said Rachel.Thomas refused to listen to his daughter and blamed Carlo for what happened. "None of this would have happened if you told me the truth beforehand, you're such an arrogant guy who thinks you could handle things on your own!"Rachel d
