#THE_DANGEROUS_HEIRESS
SEASON 2
EPISODE 9
*Unedited*
For the past few days, Janine feels like a Queen. Everything she asked for, Francisco’s men will do it for her.
Francisco was acting weird. Everything time make love, he would always blurt Anastasia’s name. Like he got crazy fantasizing the first time he f@ck, the b!tch. But she will soon, have Francisco back into her palms. She’s a queen. She can have a King for herself.
She sipped on her wine as she watch Sylvia in her red body dress walking back and forth with wine and the tablet that Francisco needed. She frown when Sylvia had a gut to bent down and to show her bre-ast to Francisco. She’s younger than her and she’s too useful for Francisco. But she knew that Francisco can’t resist her. So she interrupted by climbing into his lap.
Francisco didn’t even make a move and let her have her way. A sudden phone call interrupted them. Sylvia pick it up.
“Sir, it said to be on your bank and the teller wanted to speak with you.” Sylvia said in very professional way. Francisco took the telephone.
“Speaking.” Francisco said.
“Good day, Sir. This is Anastasia of Universal Bank. Regarding to your deposit.” The teller said on the other line and she keep talking discussing things while Francisco’s mind is blank. He was focused on the voice. It was very soothing. Not just soothing but it was so angelic and his heart respond to it. Not just respond to it but it started making him eager to find the person on the other line. Making him obsessed. That’s the voice of his Anastasia.
“Sir, are you there?”
“Anastasia…” He mutter. Both woman in front of him was stunned. “Where are you?”
“Please pardon me, Sir.” The voice was driving him crazy. Sylvia snatch the telephone away and Francisco scowl at her.
“Pardon me, Miss Lynda.” Sylvia said. “Can we schedule an appointment in your bank?”
“Of course. We are open during weekdays from eight to five.”
“Great.” Then Sylvia put the phone back.
“That was Anastasia.”
“It’s Lynda.” Sylvia said. “Lynda the teller from the bank.”
“But why did she said that she’s Anastasia? Her voice was the same with Anastasia!” he scowl. He’s getting dark circles thinking about Anastasia all day and night. “She said she’s Anastasia.”
Janine get off from him and she throw her glas-son the wall.
“Stop it, Francisco! Anastasia is dead! She’s dead and had already eaten up with maggots!” Janine scream at him. She left and took her bag.
“Glenn, come with me. I have to go shopping.”
Francisco washes his hand on his face. His heart was racing. He don’t know what to do. He stood and forget that his other leg hasn’t healed yet that makes him fall on the floor. Sylvia help him up but Francisco pushes her ha-rd away.
Then he sat down and even Glenn and Janine stopped.
“If I learnt that one of you killed Anastasia—I will not forgive you.” Francisco mutter. But they all heard him.
Glenn remain calm. Janine felt the shivers of danger run to her whole body. Sylvia saw their expressions and she knows that the two of them, Glenn and Janine knows who killed Anastasia.

Whiskey was roaming around the facility. He hate doing paper works but EPUA had drop few stocks. Sabrina has no memories and he su-ckup at organizing things here. But Brandy looks like he’s enjoying playing around, demanding things and so on and forth.
“I want to get married!” Whiskey complains.
“Then let’s get married.” Brandy said as he chew on some Doritos.
“Are you nuts?!” Whiskey scowl at him. Brandy acted innocent.
“What’s wrong with getting married? Let’s go get married. I’ll go hit on someone and impregnate her then you do the same and let’s married whoever the female is. Simple as that.”
Whiskey thought that he wanted them to get married. He would really kill him. He’s not g-ay and he was still in love with Veronica. And he fu-ckdifferent woman everyday.
Suddenly door opens and one of their big boss came and frown at them. But they still look chill and wave at him. Gabriel put an envelope in front of them.
“What’s this big boss?” Brandy asked as he took it with his hands dirty. He pull it out and whistle. “This is a beautiful woman. Looks like Sabrina.”
“That’s Anastasia Mondragon Alvarez. The only daughter of Ezekiel Mondragon and mother of Sabrina, Enzo and Ethan. Find her.”
Whiskey’s drink runs to his nose and he reach the tissue and wipe his nose. It pains. Big pain. Brandy’s jaw drops.
“Are nuts?!” Whiskey asked as he cough.
“Anastasia is alive and of course Ezekiel is keeping her. I just want to monitor on what she’s doing and—make sure that Janine and Francisco look crazy while she’s playing on them.”
“Wait!” Brandy stood. “What do you mean?”
“Anastasia is alive and she’s playing with Francisco, Janine and others. Let her play with them until Sabrina give birth and ready to accept the truth.” Gabriel said. “Don’t worry. I’ll fulfill your requests. Anything. You villa, I’ll buy you your dream villa.”
“I want Veronica.” Whiskey said and acted cool. Brandy laugh out loud.
“You are aware that anyone one is off limits. Veronica is not a thing. Besides, she’s married to a Lawson and Lawson’s don’t throw their wives away like a thing.”
Brandy hold his stomach as he laugh out loud. Whiskey sigh and just take it.
“And I only want you, Whiskey to do it. Brandy has other things to do. And this is for your sister. Bring Eros to me.” Gabriel fix his coat and left. Brandy’s eyes widens and his heart is full excitement. He miss Eros so much that he wanted to strangle the bad as-sman.
“Yes!” He shower the Doritos on them. “I will start working out for Eros to see my hot packs of abdominal before he does. Eros hasn’t worked out for years. He’s a limp.” He said.
Back then, Eros and he would challenge each other on who’s the most attractive. And he will surely win this time.

Janine was getting frustrated. Francisco isn’t well now. Maybe because of the effect of the torture EPUA gave to him. Glenn opens the door for her as he drove the car to the nearest mall. She was walking ahead from Glenn with his mind somewhere else.
“What happened to Francisco while I was away?” She asked.
“He insisted that he saw Anastasia in the Market.”
“What?” Janine turn to him. Glenn said.
“Anastasia is dead.” Glenn mutters. Janine look around and ensured no one was watching them. “I check the body twice and it was her.” He said. “Francisco can’t know about this. Or else everything we planned will go to waste.” He murmur in her ear.
“I know that.” She said. “I’ll go to the bathroom.” She said. “Buy me coffee.” She went to the bathroom. It’s empty since there are lots of people in the mall. She wash her hand the lights clic-k and turned off. “Who’s there?” Then one of the lights in the cubicle was switch on. She exhales and look around. There’s no one with her.
“Do you really like enjoying two men at the same time?”
Her cat hairs stood hearing that soft yet powerful voice like a whisper in the wind. But there’s no wind inside the bath. A woman was standing just behind her. Few paces away. She can see her silhouette in the mirror. Tall, slender yet hour glas-sbody. The smell—it was the perfume that Anastasia would wear.
“Anastasia…” Janine mutter and she turn to her. The woman was still standing there yet she can’t see her face.
“That’s right. I am living in your head, Janine. What you did was unforgivable… You took my husband from me.”
“That’s because you aren’t better than me!”
“Really?” Anastasia asked mockingly. “Then why would Francisco want me and get obsessed over me that he can’t even get over me. I am still in his head.”
“Get lost!” Janine scream. Her heart was racing. She’s just imagining her. She isn’t alive. The silhouette turn around and left the bathroom. It took Janine few seconds to respond as she storm outside and found out no one was there but the cleaner. “Did you see a woman, tall just come out from the bathroom before me?” She asked. The cleaner creased her brows and shook her head.
“No one came out from the bathroom but you, Ma’am.”
Janine was shaking as she left the bathroom and found Glenn with her coffee coming out from the Starbucks. Then she approach him and grab his arm.
“You saw her?” she asked him looking like crazy fellow.
“Saw who?” He asked.
“Anastasia.” She said as she look around. She feel dizzy now.

Anastasia was laughing as she watched it throu-ghthe people that has cameras that they wear. She sat and crossed her legs inside the van with a sigh. She knows too well how to play games. She hold the locket on her neck. She took it from Sabrina while she’s in coma. She owns it. It was the latest photos of her triplets and her husband. She wanted him back, if he would want her back.
“Let’s go.” She said. She left and the car drove back to the villa—five hours drive from the mall. Then a car suddenly corner them.
Anastasia ready her gun. Ezekiel taught her to fire when she was just a teenager. Now, she practice a lot for her safety. The car that stop in front of them was Roll Royce. The person came out and she looks familiar. Then another person came out.
“Ma’am stay here.”
Gabriel knock on her window. Anastasia’s heart melt. Gabriel knows. The man behind him look cool with ash brown hair.
“Mom,” Gabriel calls. She bit her li-ps.
“Let him in.” She said.
“But your father.”
“I will handle it.”
One of her body guards open the van and Gabriel look straight at her. Anastasia look back. Gabriel enter and sat down beside her. He holds her hand.
“I finally meet you.”
Anastasia hug-ged him like her long-lost son.
“Gabriel…” Anastasia push him a little and took his hands. “How’s my Brina?”
“She’s fine. She’s healthy now. The baby is healthy as well.”
“And my handsome princes?” She asked.
“Don’t worry, they are good as well.” Gabriel look into her. She looks like Sabrina—a little of it but Sabrina look like her beautiful grandmother. Anastasia was mixed with Mondragon. “Mom, I know that you are doing this for everyone’s safety… but Sabrina. I am worried.”
Anastasia’s tears started flowing like waters in the river. Gabriel wipe it away.
“Gabby, I like it when you call me mom. I am so sorry about Sabrina. I have to obey my dad… I lost my memories not untilyears ago when I saw her in New York. It brou-ght back all of my memories. I want to go to them and get back my husband… but if I did—I am afraid that Janine would kill them and poison them.”
“Sabrina is clever. She survived on her own. She’s the strongest woman I know and now I know where she got it from. I just want to see you… I am ready for everything you planned. I am ready to settle everything for you to see them get tortured, but let’s lessen this for a few months. And wait until Sabrina gives birth. So I could prepare her. You can play with them every time you want. But be careful not to show yourself to them so soon…”
“I will. I will be careful.”
“Okay.” Gabriel hug her and ki-ss her forehead. “Mom, I will protect Sabrina and our family. Soon, we will all be together. You can see your grandchildren soon enough.”
“Thank you, Gabby.” Gabriel left an old phone to her.
“You can contact me here anytime. No one can detect you from this but me. If something bad happened just press the red bu-tton from the back it will automatically notify me directly.”
“You don’t have to—”
“I promise my wife to protect you and everyone she loves. And that promise is my duty.”
Whiskey look around and then he whistle. “There are incoming few kilometers away.” Whiskey said as he got a call from the agent guarding the kilometer.
“I have to go.” He said. She nodded.
Anastasia clutches the old phone to her chest. Gabriel found out. He found her and he wasn’t that selfish for her not to see her children.
