I GOT off the plane smiling, my flight from Europe was almost a few hours. And now my neck is still a bit sore from being so tired. I can't express my joy that after a period of time. I was once again able to set foot in my country of origin.
After taking a suitcase, I went out of the big terminal. From the opening of the door, I immediately saw a man wearing a white uniform. He came to me and took my suitcase.
"Welcome home Ma'am Savanna!" greeted me the driver whom I just hired online.
“Thank you! Your uniform looks good on you," I said while walking towards the car.
I didn't even wait for him to open the door for me because I'm used to being served myself. The young driver smiled before pulling the bag and placing it in the back of the car. After putting my stuff away, I got into the Aston Martin One car that my friend in Europe gave me as a gift.
He has a family in the Philippines, his daddy is rich and owns a car dealership.
"Ma'am, where are we?" asked the male driver.
"In Victoria De Makati," I replied which the driver immediately followed.
I will only live in the condo for the time being, because I want to surprise my return home to the mansion. I will wait to talk to my lawyer, to get the title of the house and land in my name. A few hours before we arrived at the condo, the place was big and comfortable. It is also owned by my friend in Europe, that's why everything I do here in the Philippines I can comfortably do because of my friend's help.
I made a lot of friends in Europe, and Harvey was one of them who gave me everything. I know Harvey likes me, but I try to put aside his feelings for me. Due to many reasons, one of which is that I don't want to get in the way of my plan. And if I love, maybe someone will stop what I do. Because of my friends why I became successful in life.
They will support me, so that I can finish my college. And because of my efforts, I got the diploma I wanted. I have a good job in Europe, I am an asset that business men are vying for. With my beauty, charm and melodious voice I get what I want immediately. That's why I earn a lot there. I took a temporary leave to deal with my past, and that's why I came home to the Philippines.
To finish the mission I promised my parents before. In the evening, I went to the lobby to confront the lawyer I hadn't seen in a long time. I remember when I was ten years old, I was crying while Atty was talking to me. Romero about my heirs. But because I wasn't naive then, I didn't understand the value of wealth. After a few minutes I saw the old lawyer. It looked around the door, as if it was looking for something to meet. So I smiled before waving at him. He glanced at me, but first he turned to his seat. Maybe it's finding out if it's really him I'm calling. He came up to me and frowned when he asked, he was wearing high grade glasses and his hair was almost white.
"Ms. Jamaica Hanson? Is that you?" I smiled before nodding. The old man didn't know that I changed my name and surname so that no one would recognize me.
"Yes Attorney. It's me," I replied with a smile, The old man looked at me from head to toe, the look of amazement obvious.
“Is this true? Wow, you're so beautiful, you look like a model. Do you participate in pageants?” I just laughed at this,
"You really are an attorney, you praise me too much. Let's sit down so we can talk properly." Atty and I both seat down.
There is still a trace of amazement on his face Atty. Romero.
"I came back here to the Philippines to regain my right to Don Roberto's wealth," I told Atty.
"Is that so? I don't know if we can go after everything. Because Cynthia is already in another country. Only her son managed the mansion and Don Roberto's remaining business," explained the Attorney.
"I don't care who else owns or manages them. I will do anything, to get the wealth that is rightfully mine. And I don't need the approval of any of their mothers!" I said sarcastically to the old man, the old man shook his head at what I said.
“Iha, if only you had done this before, we wouldn't have a hard time getting everything. We can't just take their mansion and business. Because at that time you did not have the ability to manage the business, that's why it was automatically transferred to the Don's son. Since Cynthia was in another country, she transferred all her property to her son. And you can't claim that because Cynthia's wealth is different from her son's wealth. Apparently, what his son inherited was his mother's property. And it won't be recognized in the court that you still belong to," Attorney's long story that raised my eyebrows.
"What? What do you mean, Atty. Romero? That I won't get even a squint?" I asked the old man, raising my voice a bit because I was feeling angry.
"That's not my point, what I mean is, the process of claiming wealth will not be easy... especially since it was 15 years ago."
“I don't agree! I will take all of them Attorney! And no one can stop me!” I said angrily to the Attorney.
She closed his mouth and could not speak. And because I lost my self control I raised my voice. That's why I was also a little shocked by what I said here. I shook my head at the old attorney.
Before speaking again, "Do what you can as an attorney, and I will also do what I can to recover everything from them," I said firmly, before deciding to stand up and leave it in the lobby.
I seat down on the long sofa. The annoyance still won't disappear from my face, because I know that it will be difficult to take everything back.
"I still thought that I would surprise Cynthia when I came back... no, but I will be the one who will be surprised because I can't get everything back that quickly. But I don't agree. I can't allow them to transfer what is right for me, you took life Cynthia! So I will take back my life!” I stood up and went to the fridge. But I shook my head because the fridge was empty.
“Damn! I didn't say I didn't have groceries here!” I closed it angrily ref before deciding to take my wallet. When I got off the building, I didn't remember to call my driver. And if I call that it might take a long time to arrive. So I just decided to call a taxi. Many taxis passed by there, so I didn't have any more trouble.
"Ma'am, where are we?" asked the driver,
"Mall," I replied sparingly, The man scratched at my response,
