Pride of Love

Rizal's Secret

Rizal wrinkled his face, anger still evident from the look in his eyes. His disappointment at Pramana's repeated carelessness made him feel so furious.

"The boy was really very careless!" His mind is angry.

"Just as I thought of him as my own son, he really couldn't be expected! He could only think of his own pleasure, squandering money and playing women, but his brain was nothing at all, you fool!" Rizal sat leaning back in his chair and took a deep breath trying to temper his anger.

Not yet finished the wrath that rained down on his soul, Rizal again stunned. His eyes were round, his hands suddenly trembling very hard.

Cretaceous....!

The pen that had been held between his fingers immediately fell to the surface of the table.

"How are you, Mas Rizal, do you remember me?" Julia stood before him while commenting on the fake smile on her lips.

'You...??, what do you want to come here again?' Rizal's lips instantly shook violently, his expression hardened.

"Of course to meet you! Do you miss me too?" Julia grinned and an aura of terror seemed to be tucked behind the face of her feet.

Rizal shuddered he knew the woman before him was not being friendly towards him but there was a grudge he wanted to show behind his false hospitality.

"Those years you left me Julia.... Now why are you back again?" Rizal asked with a slanted grin.

"You're saying I left you??" Julia put a smile on her lips. "You were the one who threw me away when I was in such a miserable state!" Then again with his face flushed.

"Then what's your purpose here, Julia? Do you really miss me?" Rizal stood up from his chair then stepped closer to Julia who was still standing haughtily staring at him.

Rizal looks into Julia's eyes meaningfully then grabs Julia's shoulder and brings Julia's body closer into her arms but Julia quickly dismisses her very rudely.

"I'm not here to remember our old story! I'm here because I want to take all the assets that are rightfully mine!" Julia took a step back from Rizal then looked at Rizal with her demonic eyes.

Rizal clucked then looked back at Julia with his eyebrows jerked. "Asset?? What asset do you mean Julia?" asked Rizal with an increasingly tense face.

"Huh treasure? Which treasure? Don't dream you Julia! You don't have any rights to any of that!" Rizal said while shaking his head.

"You're wrong, it's all still mine to this day!" Back that cynical smile was on Julia's lips.

"I don't think you've forgotten! Long ago, you seduced me by giving me a lot of treasure so I would marry you! And all that treasure you also diverted on my behalf before our marriage, so until now the treasure is entirely mine!" Julia sauntered arrogantly before Rizal with a triumphant smile painted on her lips.

Rizal could only take a deep breath and rub his face rough. "This woman is so cunning, she managed to trap me in this difficult situation... Ahhh shit!" Rizal in his heart.

Julia took a map out of her bag.

"This is proof of my ownership of all those assets!" he handed the map to Rizal. "I'll give you one month to collect it all, because next month I'll take away all my rights, including the house you've still occupied, I'm asking that you empty it immediately! Because that house is mine you have no right to live there!" Julia Assertive.

"Next month I'm going back to Germany, so before I go home, all our business must be done!" Julia gave a threat and just smiled wryly looking at Rizal who seemed to be thinking hard to deal with it.

Julia then stepped out of Rizal's study room with a triumphant satisfied smile adorning her vengeful face.

Rizal stood looking at the map in his hand.

"Damn...you are indeed very unlucky today Rizal!" rizal's mind back to cursing.

"So Pramana now Julia....., arghhhh.... !!!" Rizal hit his own head full of annoyance.

"Julia! You've been the same thing.., materialistic woman, cheap woman! Just because I used to be tempted by your beauty now I regret ever snatching you from your first husband, and now you want to destroy me instead! Arghhhh......!!" Rizal looks increasingly upset regretting his past and his anger peaked again.

He threw the map in his hand on the floor very roughly and stepped on it venting all his anger.

"One month. ok one month Julia!" The sneaky smile was now back on Rizal's face. He began to think of a way to get Julia away from him.
