Seating in the agreed upon restaurant, Irene found herself checking her phone more time than needed so. Why was she so freaking late, she thought, bouncing her legs impatiently as there was still no sign of Leonica.

What if she wasn't going to show up? What was she supposed to do then?

The thought alone had her biting her thumb nail, an act she never thought she'd ever do until recently.

Her poor manicured nails were suffering so much and it was all because of Leonica. But even when she knew this, Irene had to remind herself to stay calm, after all, she was here to make a deal with Leonica, not murder her, at least not yet. Finally, the bell above the restaurant jiggled and Leonica walked in. Irene watched her walk towards where she was seated, noticing the slight limp in her step.

"You're late." She said as soon as Leonica had taken the seat in front of her.

The younger female flashed her a knowing smile. "Yeah I know,"

Irene gritted her teeth. "You-" She stopped herself before anymore words could come out and Leonica smiled.

"So, what information do you have to give me?" She asked, going straight to the point.

Irene composed herself before speaking. "You once asked me why after all these years I had decided to show up, reveal my existence, well, I'll give you the answer, as long as you promise me a solid deal." "That is?"

"Full reinstatement into the Romero family. And I'd have a fair share of the inheritance."

Leonica hummed pretending to think about it when she knew in reality, she wasn't going to do so. "And what if I don't hold up my end of the deal?" She asked curiously.

Irene clenched her fist under the table. "Then you can be sure that I'd ruin you. I've got a lot of secrets up my sleeve." She lied.

"Oh?"

"That's right. So if you don't want your dirty secrets leaked out, I'd suggest you agree."

Leonica's eyes glinted in amusement, the corners of her lips slowly tilting upwards.

"Alright, I promise to do what's within my power. Now speak."

"Jamil Vanadas was the reason why I showed up. You should know him," Irene began hell-bent on ranting Jamil out and ruining whatever plans he has seeing as he has dumbed her. "He came up to me with a silly proposal, I could know who my real father is and get revenge if I wanted but in return, I has to ruin the entire Romero family."

Leonica cocked her head at Irene's explanation. "And his goal?"
