A Sweet Revenge 2
Wedding Celebration
[A grand wedding reception was held at the Cruz's mansion. Everyone celebrated for the newly wedded couple.]
Ian Cruz
Hey! David. I heard about your new released album. Congrats!
David Seville
Thanks man. But hey, shouldn't I be the one to congratulate you instead?
David Seville
After all, you're finally married!
Mark Seville
Congratulations to our newly wedded couple! Mr. and Mrs. Cruz.
Grace Cruz
Glad you made it to the ceremony earlier! I thought you'd never attend.
Mark Seville
Yeah, I've been really busy because of my business. Our new Resort is about to open.
Ian Cruz
Wow, good for you!
Grace Cruz
Huh, I wonder where Dylan's at. I didn't see him at the ceremony.
Ian Cruz
Yeah, Where is he?
Mark Seville
He called me earlier, saying he would be late, But I'm sure he'll arrive later.
Mark Seville
Speak of the devil...
[Mark saw Dylan arriving along with her wife, Tiffany.]
Dylan Torres
I'm really sorry, Ian. It's just that, something came up at the Company and I had to settle it immediately.
Tiffany Torres
Good evening everyone!
Grace Cruz
Good evening, Tiffany.
Tiffany Torres
Congratulations to the both of you!
[Tiffany brought out a small black box and gave if to Grace who happily took it.]
Tiffany Torres
Hope you like my gift.
Grace Cruz
Awe thank you, Tiffany.
[All of them had fun talking to each other along with other guests, friends and relatives.]
David Seville
Guys, you better attend my concert. I'll make sure you'll be in front row.
Ian Cruz
That will be in a few months, right?
[Ian glanced around the room and noticed someone he was familiar with.]
Ian Cruz
Hold on, I need to meet with someone.
Ian Cruz
I'll be right back.
[Ian kissed Grace on the cheek before leaving the group.]
Grace Cruz
Why, where're you going?
Ian Cruz
I'll be right back, honey. I promise.
[Ian walked towards a woman who was talking to a man when he called her.]
Jenny Lee
Congratulations to you and your wife!
Ian Cruz
I didn't expect, you'd actually make it.
Ian Cruz
I thought you weren't gonna come since you didn't respond after I sent you the invitation.
Jenny Lee
Yeah, me either. I thought my boss wouldn't let me but he was actually fine with it.
Jenny Lee
And I'm sorry, if I didn't respond because I was kinda busy with work.
Grace Cruz
I wonder where he went...
Mark Seville
[looks around]
Mark Seville
Oh! There he is!
[Mark pointed to where he saw Ian who was talking to a woman. The others also looked to where he pointed.]
Mark Seville
I think she's talking to a woman.
Grace Cruz
Huh? Who is she?
Tiffany Torres
Hmm... I don't know...
David Seville
Could be a friend or...
David Seville
[looks at Grace]
Grace Cruz
[frowns] Ian never told me anything about a "friend".
Mark Seville
I've never really seen her before.
David Seville
[whisper] Damn, is Ian already cheating with another woma—
[Mark elbowed David on his side that made him groan in pain.]
Grace Cruz
What was that, David?
David Seville
...nothing...
Ian Cruz
Are you gonna be staying here for a little while?
Jenny Lee
Hmm... Yeah. My boss gave me another mission. I have to act as a guardian for his daughter.
Jenny Lee
[nods] He has a 15 year old daughter. She will continue her studies here.
Ian Cruz
Oh... Then that means I can see you more often, now.
Ian Cruz
But, would that be okay to you?
Ian Cruz
Would you be able to handle it since...
Ian Cruz
I'm just worried.
Jenny Lee
I know, but I'll be fine. I promise you that.
Ian Cruz
Oh right, how's "he"?
Jenny Lee
Well, he hasn't woken up. He's still in a coma.
[Grace, who was watching Ian with another woman from afar, couldn't hold her curiousity and went towards them.]
Ian Cruz
I told you, I'll be right back, didn't I?
Grace Cruz
It seems you're talking to a friend of yours.
Ian Cruz
Oh, right... Uhmm...
Jenny Lee
Hi! You must be his wife. It is nice to meet you!
[Jenny held out her hand for Grace to take.]
Grace Cruz
[shakes hand] It is nice to meet you too.
Jenny Lee
My names Jenny Lee.
Jenny Lee
Oh, I've heard so much about you! Your husband has been talking about you everytime we talked.
Grace Cruz
Well, my husband right here, didn't even talk about you. So I had no idea she had a friend, like you.
Jenny Lee
Goodness, I do understand. We're only business associates and we barely even see each other.
Grace Cruz
Hmm... May I ask where you're from?
Jenny Lee
I'm from Philippines.
Grace Cruz
That's quite far...
Grace Cruz
Coming all the way here to New York must be exhausting.
Jenny Lee
Yeah, I know. I had to hurry here, but unfortunately I missed the ceremony.
Grace Cruz
That's okay. Anyways, would you like to join us so we can have a little chitchat?
Jenny Lee
....I can't, I'm sorry. I need to go now as I have some business to attend to...
Grace Cruz
Awwe, I really wanted to chat with you...
Ian Cruz
That's alright, maybe we can meet some other time.
Jenny Lee
Of course. Oh and here...
[Jenny gave her a pastel pink colored box to which Grace gladly accepted.]
Jenny Lee
I almost forgot....but I hope you'll like my gift.
Jenny Lee
Congratulations to you two!
Ian Cruz
Thank you Ms. Lee...
Jenny Lee
Well, I'll be going now.
[Jenny was about to go when Ian said something...]
Ian Cruz
[smiles] I'm glad you're back.
Jenny Lee
[smiles and nods]
[They watched as Jenny walked away getting inside her car and driving away.]
[Jenny drove through the busy street of New York City. A tear fell out of her eye and she immediately wiped it off.]
Unknown
Jenny, where are you?
Jenny Lee
I'm almost there, Boss.
Unknown
Well hurry up. I need to fly back to Philippines right away.
Jenny Lee
...I thought you'd stay for a few more days. Your daughter won't like that...
Unknown
I know, but don't worry. The twins are with her and you will protect her. She won't feel lonely...
Unknown
Since you're almost arriving, I'll go back now. The kids are asleep right now...
Unknown
Take care of the kids for me, alright?
Unknown
And don't forget your true purpose of coming back to New York...
Jenny Lee
Of course, Boss.
Black Mamba
[Agatha immediately got up from her bed and stretched her body. After taking a bath, she went downstairs to see their maid Loren, preparing her breakfast.]
Loren
Oh, you're awake very early as always.
Agatha Sinclair
Good morning, Loren~
Agatha Sinclair
Where's papa?
Loren
Well, working with his business of course.
Loren
Here, eat some breakfast first before you join your father.
Agatha Sinclair
Oh, right....What time is Abigail and Arthur coming?
Loren
Uhm...they'll be here at around noon.
[Agatha sat at one of the seats in the dining room and started to eat her food prepared by Loren. As always, it tasted delicious.]
Agatha Sinclair
Won't you come with us to America?
Loren
Of course not. I can't go far away from my family here.
Agatha Sinclair
But, I want you there. I want you to cook for my meals everyday. And...
Agatha Sinclair
I will miss you...
Loren
[smile] As much as I want to come with you, I can't. I need to work to provide for my family. I hope you understand.
Loren
I will cook your favorite dish tomorrow before you leave. How's that?
[Agatha finished her breakfast and immediately went out of their house, tying her hair up in a high ponytail. She wore her favorite black leather boots given by her father on her birthday a few months ago.]
[She rode on her motorcycle through the rocky narrow road passing by the big farms owned by her family. The smell of fresh air coming from the green fields, the strong breeze of wind as she drove fast and the warm sunrise in the morning made her feel relaxed as she savors her last moments of her home province.]
[Agatha won't be staying here in her home country any longer as her father had planned on sending her to America to study. Although she was against it, she had no choice but to follow his orders.]
[Agatha arrived at a private hideout guarded by big looking men. The guards immediately make way and opened the gates for her to enter. She looks around and sees unfamiliar faces of people, probably new clients of her father. As she tried to look for her father, she saw a tall woman coming towards her and her mood immediately changed.]
Jenny Lee
Good morning, Agatha.
Agatha Sinclair
Where's Papa?
Jenny Lee
He's in a meeting with his new clients.
[Agatha was about to walk past the woman, when the woman raided her arm in front of her to stop her from walking any further.]
Jenny Lee
You're father ordered me to not allow anyone inside until the meeting is over. Including you.
Agatha Sinclair
Tsk! Who are you to boss me around?!
Agatha Sinclair
Out of my way!
[Agatha walked past Jenny and went inside the big house where the said meeting is held. Jenny remained a calm face as she was used to Agatha's behaviour. The second they met for the first time, they already weren't in good terms.]
[Jenny went after Agatha inside the house and into the room where Agatha's father was.]
Agatha Sinclair
[opens door]
Charles Ramirez
This will be the location for—
Charles Ramirez
Agatha? I thought I told Jenny....
[When Charles saw Jenny behind Agatha who shook her head, he immediately realized.]
Charles Ramirez
[sigh] Agatha...
Charles Ramirez
Can you wait outside with Jenny until the meeting is over?
Harvey Gibson
Mr. Ramirez, you never told me about your daughter....
[Harvey Gibson, one of their new clients, walked closer to Agatha. Jenny immediately went upfront to block him.]
Jenny Lee
Please refrain on coming any closer, Mr. Gibson.
Charles Ramirez
We're here for business, aren't we?
Harvey Gibson
Right, right....
[Jenny ushered Agatha out of the room. Agatha had no choice but to follow as she hadn't been able to process what just happened.]
Agatha Sinclair
What's going on?
Jenny Lee
How about we train ourselves with the others.
[Jenny walked ahead, and Agatha followed her to the area where members of Black Mamba are trained. Agatha could already hear gunshots fired. She saw a few men and some women firing their guns to the target. No one outside would hear the loud noises of guns being shot as they were in the middle of a forest below a mountain far from the city.]
[Black Mamba, on the surface, it is known as a normal Syndicate trading company, but underneath is a large gang that are responsible for many assassination of large persons. Agatha already knows that his father kills people but not just any people,people who are known for their biggest crimes that are running free are hunted down by his gang. All the reason why she wants to be just like his father. Agatha knows what his father is capable of, when one betrays the leader of Black Cobra... ]
Jenny Lee
[mumble] That's what you get when breaking the rules of our leader...
Jenny Lee
[shouts] EVERYONE! Take this as a warning and fullfil your duty as the member of Black Mamba!
[That's why Agatha has always looked up to his father. His control over everything is so powerful. She wished that one day, she will take over the gang after his father]
Agatha Sinclair
Where. is. Papa?!
Agatha Sinclair
Why did you lie?
Jenny Lee
Your father told me, he's on a private appointment.
Agatha Sinclair
And where is that?
Jenny Lee
[shrug]He didn't tell me either....
Agatha Sinclair
Ugh! Fine....
Agatha Sinclair
Give me that!
[Agatha grabbed the sniper rifle Jenny has been holding and went to aim it into one of the targets.]
Jenny Lee
Are you sure you can aim with that?
Agatha Sinclair
Of course I do
Jenny Lee
But it's your first time holding that—
[Agatha fired the gun but failed to even land a bullet to the target. Instead, it went past it and flew to the forest.]
Jenny Lee
[bites lip] I told you it's still your first time...
Jenny Lee
Would you like me to teach you?
Agatha Sinclair
[rolls eyes] As if you could aim....I don't even know why papa favors you. Tsk!
Jenny Lee
Your father favors no one.... but only you.
[Jenny picked up another sniper rifle the same as Agatha was holding and aimed to the target before shooting.]
[Agatha looked at the target to see a single hole in the head. She was shocked of how skilled Jenny was when it came to guns. Everyone in the Gang admired her which made Agatha hate her even more. Jenny always got the attention because of her talent when it comes to killing while Agatha was treated as a weak little girl and she hated that.]
Jenny Lee
I hope that proved something.
Agatha Sinclair
Whatever...
Charles Ramirez
Hey lovely ladies!
Agatha Sinclair
[turns] Uncle Charles!
Charles Ramirez
You were hoping to see your father, didn't you?
Agatha Sinclair
Well, Jenny told me.
Charles Ramirez
Well, sorry to disappoint you kid but your Ate* Jenny is only doing her job.
*pronounced as "A-teh". It means big sister/elder sister.(incase you didn't know)
Agatha Sinclair
Well anyways, since you're here, uncle. Does that mean, Arthur and Abigail have arrived already?
Charles Ramirez
Not yet. I went here ahead of them to take care of "sombody".
Agatha Sinclair
Loren said they'll arrive at noon...
Charles Ramirez
I'm sure they will.
Charles Ramirez
How about I show you something?
Agatha Sinclair
Ooh, what is it uncle?
Charles Ramirez
Follow me.
[Agatha and Jenny followed Charles to where three horses stood, held on a leash by a man.]
Agatha Sinclair
[gasp] Horses! I've always wanted to ride one!
Charles Ramirez
It was Jenny's idea. She told me about you wanting ride a horse.
[Jenny nudged Charles with her elbow.]
Jenny Lee
Charles, please....
Charles Ramirez
[whisper] Oh, right. I wasn't suppose to tell....
Jenny Lee
He was just joking, Agatha. It was actually your father's idea.
Agatha Sinclair
[gasp] Really?!
Agatha Sinclair
Uncle! Can you teach me how to ride one?!
[Agatha rushed excitedly to where the horses were and Charles followed.]
Charles Ramirez
Jenny, come with us!
Agatha Sinclair
[whisper] Does she have to come, uncle?
Charles Ramirez
[chuckles] Come on, there's three horses here. The last one would feel lonely if he didn't get to be with his siblings.
Agatha Sinclair
They're siblings?!
Charles Ramirez
Yeah. Now let's get going, shall we?
[Charles helped Agatha climb on one of the horses before he hopped onto one and guided Agatha. Jenny hopped on the last one and followed the two.]
Charles Ramirez
Do you know how to ride one, Jenny?
Charles Ramirez
I could teach you as well.
Jenny Lee
No, thank you. I know how to ride a horse.
Charles Ramirez
Impressive.
Charles Ramirez
Now, let's go!
Ramirez Twins
Loren
Agatha! You're back!
Loren
How was your first time of horse riding?
Agatha Sinclair
It was fun! I wanna do it again!
Charles Ramirez
Good afternoon, Loren!
Loren
Good afternoon, Mr. Ramirez.
Charles Ramirez
[sniff] Ooh! What's that smell?
Agatha Sinclair
Mmm! It smells good!
Loren
Oh right, would you like to have some snacks? I bet you're hungry from all that riding.
Charles Ramirez
I'm feeling hungry, already!
Charles Ramirez
Agatha, I say we race to the table and see who can eat more?
Agatha Sinclair
You bet I will!
[Charles and Agatha went ahead and ran to the dining area where the newly cooked snacks were served.]
Loren
Goodness, they're energetic as always.
[Loren saw Jenny coming in the house. Both of them walked together to the dining area.]
Loren
Would you like some snacks as well?
Jenny Lee
I'm fine, Loren. Besides....
[Jenny looked at the two who were competing of who can eat more of the snacks that Loren made. Jenny just sighed upon seeing the plate already empty.]
Jenny Lee
They'll need more than I would.
Loren
[chuckles]You're right.
Agatha Sinclair
Haha! I atgt morh dan ouu!
Charles Ramirez
I don't even know what you're saying!
Loren
Agatha, have some orange juice before you choke.
Agatha Sinclair
Ohay— [cough]
Charles Ramirez
Pfft! HAHAHWHAHA
[Agatha immediately grabbed the juice Loren gave her and chugged the whole glass. She glared at his uncle who almost couldn't breathe because of laughter. She even saw Jenny who instantly looked away, biting her bottom lip to keep herself from laughing.]
Loren
Hmm, should I cook more?
Charles Ramirez
That would be great! I won't just accept my defeat. I want a rematch!
Loren
What about you, Jenn?
Jenny Lee
Maybe I'll have a few...
Agatha Sinclair
Ha! Good luck on beating me, uncle!
[They waited at the dining area while Loren went back to the kitchen.]
[A few minutes later, they heard a car stopping near their house. Agatha immediately knew who it was and ran outside the house to see the people she has been waiting to arrive since morning.]
Abigail Ramirez
[gasp] Agatha!
[Abigail dropped her luggage and immediately ran towards Agatha to hug her. A boy hopped off the black car and saw his twin's luggage in the way. He immediately got pissed off.]
Arthur Ramirez
Seriously?!
Abigail Ramirez
Why don't you be a gentleman and carry it? I'm busy here!
Agatha Sinclair
[chuckles] You're still fighting even now? You haven't changed!
Arthur Ramirez
[picks up her luggage] It's not my fault my sister was born stupid!
Abigail Ramirez
Watch your tongue! I can hear you!
Arthur Ramirez
Oh don't worry I totally meant it!
Abigail Ramirez
Anyways....Agatha! it's been a long time!
Agatha Sinclair
I know! You look totally different and you even got taller than me!
Agatha Sinclair
When was the last time you visited here?
Abigail Ramirez
I... dunno....
Abigail Ramirez
Oh right! When we were eight!
Agatha Sinclair
Oh, I remember now!
[Arthur finally arrived at the entrance of the house where Agatha and Abigail stood.]
Abigail Ramirez
So.... how about we continue what we couldn't finish 7 year—
Arthur Ramirez
Before you do anything reckless, at least help the maid carry our things? Abigail?
Arthur Ramirez
We're guests here, so at least have some manners.
Abigail Ramirez
Ugh! FINE!
[Abigail went back to the car to help the maid carry their things.]
[Agatha and Arthur's eyes met.]
Arthur Ramirez
[smiles] Good afternoon, Agatha.
Agatha Sinclair
Come on. You don't have to act like we're strangers. You know, you're like family to us.
[Arthur just stared at her which made Agatha a little confused. He then let out a grin on his face which made her even more confused.]
Arthur Ramirez
Okay! Piggy~
[Arthur pinched Agatha's cheeks and proceeds to walk inside the house.]
[Agatha's eyes widen as soon as the realization struck her.]
Agatha Sinclair
You—(F*ck, I don't have anything to call him except for his name!)
Charles Ramirez
Sweetie! Glad you're finally here!
[Abigail went to hug his father before she leaned back looked straight into his father's eyes.]
Charles Ramirez
[sigh] Fine....just don't kill each other.
Abigail Ramirez
[gasp] YES!
Abigail Ramirez
Thanks Dad! Agatha, let's go!
Agatha Sinclair
Yey! Thanks uncle!
Arthur Ramirez
[sigh] Seriously, Dad?
Charles Ramirez
Come on Arthur, let them have fun. It has been a long time since they had fun, y'know.
Charles Ramirez
Besides, the last time they sparred, they didn't have injuries.
Arthur Ramirez
BECAUSE they were using WOODEN knives, Dad!
Charles Ramirez
Don't be paranoid Arthur.
Charles Ramirez
I'm sure they'll play it safe.
Abigail Ramirez
Ohoho~ There's no playing safe this time, Agatha~
Agatha Sinclair
Psh! That's childish!
[Abigail and Agatha faced each other holding real sharp knives.]
Abigail Ramirez
Whoever bleeds first, loses.
