The Crazy Rich Madame
Chapter 45; Rescue

Paglabas ni Vladimyr ng Mansion ni Lucien, tumunog ang Phone niya kaya agad niya iyong sinagot nang makitang si Ethan ang tumatawag. "Hello, Ethan?"

"Vladimyr, we have now a lead about the sudden threats and the sudden ambush to you, last month." "Speak." She ordered like Supreme. But the General didn't mind it since they both were friends.

Ipinaliwanag lahat ni Ethan ang mga napag tagni-tagni niyang conclusion at ebidensyang nakalap nila ni Noah, ukol sa likod ng mga nangyaring banta sa buhay ni Vladimyr. At ang tinuturo nito...ay si 'Luvien Ezquillon' Lalong nagngangalit sa galit ang puso ni Vladimyr nang mga oras na iyon. Pero pinipilit niyang pigilan ang sarili na makagawa ng aksyon lalo na at speculations pa lang naman ang mga nalaman niya.

She need a clear evidence at gusto niyang malaman kung bakit ginagawa ng lalaki ang bagay na ito sa kaniya gayong wala naman siyang ginawang masama sa lalaking yon kundi ang mahalin ito ng sobra-sobra.

Kumuyom ang kamao ni Vladimyr, di na siya magtataka. Mga halimaw naman talaga ang mga ito kaya ganun ang mga asal nila. Pero oras na malaman niya ang dahilan, kahit ano pa iyon, dudurugin niya ang mga ito hanggang sa walang matira.

"Be careful Vlad, your enemy, just waiting to crush you when they have the chance."

"Yeah. Thank you for the info."

Pinatay na agad ni Vladimyr ang tawag pagkatapos nilang mag-usap ni Ethan. Di pa man niya ito naibabalik sa bag ay nag ring muli iyon at ibang number ang naka register.

She turned the call on to answer but she didn't speak. The man's voice on the other line saying instructions. It is obvious that the voices were just recordings to avoid the tracking of their location.

Too wise.

"Let me talk to them." she humbly requests over the man on the other line. Alam niyang may tao bukod sa recording na yon. And, as expected...gotcha!

"Madame...don't come please..." A raspy voice of a man heard from the phone.

"Sebastian..."

"Madame...we will understand if you won't come...don't waste your life for us." It's Arcadius who is trying to hold the pain. His voice is broken. As if they were hurting when speaking.

Vlad listened. "I will kill you with my own hands...so better wait for me...Don't. Dare. Die." Her tone is full of murderous threats as she speaks to them but for the men on the other line, it makes their heart ecstatic. "M-madame no! Don't!"

Iyon lang ang huli niyang narinig bago niya pinatay ang tawag.

Bago siya pumunta sa location, tinawagan muna niya sina Malia at Lisa, kasama ang ilan sa mga tauhan para sa back-up.

Gamit ang inagaw na motor sa isang sibilyan, dumating si Vladimyr sa lumang bodega. Malaki ang bodega na parang imbakan ng mga karton. Malayo sa kabahayan. At kung may pangyayaring ganito, Siguradong walang makaka-alam. Malinis at maayos ito. Sa labas ng gate, pinapasok agad siya ng dalawang lalaking bantay na may dalang armalite. Tipikal na dating ng isang pipitsuging grupo ng kriminal.

"Ako si Vladimyr" aniya sa dalawang lalaki. Tiningnan muna siya nito mula ulo hanggang paa. Saka pinapasok.

Hinatid pa siya ng mga ito sa pinto ng bodega at parehong pumasok sa loob. Pagkatapos ay dinala siya sa pinaka loob kung saan may private room.

Mula sa labas dinig ni Vladimyr ang pigil na sigaw ng dalawang lalaki.

Sebastian!

Arcadius!

Lihim na nagtagis ang mga ngipin ni Vladimyr sa galit na biglang lumukob sa kaniya.

Ah! 

Another painful grunts of her men reached her ears and made her anger rise.

"Andito na siya!"

Anang isang lalaki matapos kumatok. Pagkatapos niyon, unti-unting bumukas ang pinto.

Mula kinatatayuan niya, natanaw ni Vladimyr ang dalawang lalaking nakatali ang mga kamay, puro dugo ang likod, may malalalim din na sugat.

Beside them were two giant men holding a bloody Leather lash. Sigurado siyang ang dugo na yon ay mula sa dalawa.

Buwiset!

She clenched her fist tight as she recognized those men, hanging.

Arcadius, Sebastian...

She felt her heart squeezing by the views of her men being tortured like that.

She felt the urge to crush this People's body to pieces. But she has to compose herself and not show any affection towards the two. 'Hang on there, I will save you, two.'

She promised.

"What do you want from me?"

Malamig at walang gana niyang tanong sa mga ito habang nakatitig sa dalawa niyang tauhan na noon ay parang wala nang malay.

"Hindi ko alam na ganito ka kalambot sa mga tauhan mo, Vladimyr!"

Mula sa isa pang kwarto ay lumabas ang may edad nang lalaki. Matangkad din ito at may hitsura. Halata ang pagka-dominante sa bawat kilos at malagom nitong pananalita.

Bago ang mukha nito para kay Vladimyr. Di pa niya ito kahit kelan nakikita.

"Who are you?" She calmly asked the man who was wearing a beige clean color suit. Then crossed her arms over her chest and throw a bored look at the man.

The man chuckled and said. "I am Don Domingo Sevilla!"

Pagkasabi palang nito ng apelyido nito ay alam na niya agad ang sagot sa tanong.

'I see...'

This guy is related to Mrs. Sevilla...

"I am here now, Don. Let those men go..." It's not a request, it's an order!

Ngumisi ang Don dahil sa sinabi niya. Di ito makapaniwala sa nag-uumapaw na tiwala ni Vladimyr sa sarili. Ni hindi man ito makitaan ng kahit kapirasong takot mula sa mga mata. Even her tone is in Supremacy! As if she sees herself as the powerful empress of wealth in the world!

Which made the old Don feel insulted.

Ayaw na ayaw niyang nararamdaman na mas natataasan pa siya ng isang babae! He lived in the old culture. Women should submit to men!

But this woman, Vlad, her supremacy feature is exquisitely Domineering! Her cold, dark and calm aura is frightening!

This is a disgrace to men!

"Release them."

Vlad observes the men who are now removing the tie on Sebastian's and Arcadius' hand. They let them fall on the floor with their body trembling and bleeding.

"M-madame...." Sebastian tried to utter the word. A struggle from saying such words is evident in his broken voice.

"Don't talk.... I don't wanna hear your voice" she creepily ordered her men without trying to give them a glance.

The two know that their boss, Vladimyr, wants them to save their strength. And keeping their mouths shut is one of the best choices.

The two turn their faces to see their 'tough' lady boss in front of them staring emotionlessly at the old man who took them to get her. Worries are written in their swollen and bleeding faces as they look at their boss then look down the tiled floor.

"Let them go. Now." Vladimyr again ordered.

Suddenly, the old man let a sarcastic and mocking laugh at Vlad's words.

"Who do you think you are to give orders to us?" Don uttered.

"You're just an imbecile woman who thinks she's more powerful than men, like me..."

"And maybe, you are just an old hog who doesn't have his balls, am I right?" Vlad said with a straight poker face.

Tumigil ang Don sa pagtawa at bumuntong hininga.

"Why not...let's play a Little?" He asked, wearing a malicious grin.

"Spill." She answered casually.

Sinenyasan ng Don ang mga tauhan niya na agad naman sumunod. Hinawakan ng mga ito si Vladimyr sa mga braso habang naghihintay ng utos ng amo. "Strip her off!"

The Don ordered. That Sebastian and Arcadius' eyes widened in fear.

No!
