129 Ezekiel Mondragon (1/2)
Sabrina drove her car downtown to Mondragon Palace. The guards from her grandfather's own army open the gate for her. She saw the high security around. She noticed everything. Something was wrong all of these years. Her grandfather has been protected with two dozen of men, what was he hiding?
She notice every detail and start brainstorming like Sherlock Holmes would do. But she's not a sociopath—or maybe she was a high functioning sociopath. The old butler Eugene Kinsley greet her warmly. She smile at him.
”How are you, Eugene?”
”Lady Brina, it's been a while. Your grandfather is waiting in his study. Any request?”
”Chamomile tea please.”
”Got it.”
She knock on the door and then open it when she heard the old man's voice. She open the door and was surprise that her grandfather looks healthy and like he hasn't aged from the last time she saw him.
”Sweetheart!” The old man looks younger as he smile and stand up.
”Grandpa, why do you look so young?” Sabrina's first thought would be someone was pleasing her grandfather.
”It's not what you think, my sweet granddaughter. Come here and sit.” She did as she was told. She sat down and cross her legs.
”So, what's the sudden call of meeting?” She asked coolly.
”You are finally talking. Does this man of yours makes you talk?” Ezekiel asked.
”Hmm, let's put it that way.”
”I already did a background check on him. He's a good man. I hope that he isn't like your father.” Ezekiel brought a cup of tea to his thin lips.
”Well, father was manipulated. However, he shouldn't fall to that easily.” She lean and look out the window. ”Tell me, grandpa... how have you been these days?”
”I exercise a lot.” He said. ”Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and smoothies. So, I look young and healthier than my brother.” Sabrina chuckle.
”Grandpa Xandro is getting old.” Sabrina said. ”I haven't seen him for a while.”
”Visit him as well.” Ezekiel's older brother was Alexandro Mondragon. He was a General as well of the country and has his own Army that's under the government.
”Hmm.”
”Brina, promise me that you'll never turn back on your mission.” Ezekiel said. Ezekiel was the one who persuade her and she did it. ”You are my only hope to avenge your mother.”
”Grandpa, I'll make that man pay a thousand folds from what he did to mom.”
”You got married too soon, I just wish that I was there to stop that marriage.”
”Grandpa, Gabriel isn't like other men. I love him and he isn't a barrier to my mission.”
