Chapter 5: DEATH THREAT
THIRD PERSON'S POV
"It seems that they're about to fail their business that they've been working so hard on achieving.Hmm... Such a shame for them." I was looking at a certain picture, she and her husband won't be living a happy life for long.
"Sir is there anything else you want me to do?"
"No, this will do, I'll do the rest but... I do want you to do one thing, before you leave." I gave him the money he needed and left.
This will be a very interesting week to come

Melody's POV
"Ate, wake up... Hey ate wake up" I shook her lightly
"Hmmm what is it Melody? I'm still tired..." she said sleepily
"It's already 10am come on, I'm hungry and I don't wanna cook." I scrunched my nose
"Aghhh, your so lazy you have arms and fingers just make it your Se-self" she yawned
I poked her and shook her until she stood up, of course I always win or else I'm gonna make her sleep for nothing.
She made our food and we ate together, we talked about things when the door bell rang we both stood up, seems like we're both expecting something.
We went to the door and opened it, there was no one there but a small box left behind by someone. We looked inside and it only had 1 word written in bold letters on a piece of paper.
It was RUN
We looked at each other then all of a sudden a motor bike went skimming past us in a flash and started to bombard us with bullets out of nowhere, we took cover and after a few seconds it stopped.
I looked at ate and saw she was bleeding.
"A-ate! Are you OK?!" I was schocked still by what had happened.
"hmm..aghh... I-I'm OK Melody... Call the aghhh... Call the ambulance now..." she gasped in pain from the wound she had gotten.
"O-OK... NANAY BELLA! NANAY BELLA!" I ran inside and called the ambulance. Fifteen minutes had past before it arrived and rushed her to the hospital
"Nanay, what are we gonna do? I-I don't know what to do!" I was already panicking and starting to sob.
"Don't worry baby, I've already called your parents they'll be here in a few hours..." she said trying to calm me down.
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lose ate. I dont know what to do...

THIRD PERSON'S POV
" Hello Sir? I've done exactly as you told me, I think I hit one of them in the stomach while at it. "
"Hahahahaha you've done great Brylle, excellent in fact, that'll teach them to pay on time." I smirked and laughed once more
"You may now go, I'll call you once again if I need anything." I ended the call, well we'll well Harmony and Luis, let's see until where your tricks will be played at. "
I was still enjoying my victory when someone called.
"Honey, have you done it yet?"
"Yes honey, and mission success. I'll be going home now, we'll be going out for dinner tonight, tell the kids to come with us." I said happily
"Of course, my pleasure."
-----------
"Dad, where are we going?" my son asked me
" Well, we're gonna celebrate a victory of your dad in some.... Business..." I answered
"No wonder you look so cheerful dad, hey can we go to an Italian restaurant, I miss their spaghetti and also pasta." another of my son said.
"Sure why not."
We drove off to an Italian restaurant and we ate and talked our way through the night.
"Now now children make sure you aren't gonna waste any of your food OK? And honey do tell them to stop using the phone when we're at the table." my wife said strictly
"Now calm down honey baby, let them be, it's only sometimes that they get to enjoy such a thing, let them boast this night for us to remember" I said calmly
"You always spoil them honey, no wonder they never listen."
" Oh come one, we aren't gonna fight about this aren't we? The best news is yet to come so be happy, plus we'll be seeing them real soon and taking our... Retaliation.." I looked sternly at her of course I wasn't gonna let my son's know about what we were up to.
" Of course, you have your point." she replied
We left home and just before that I received another call.
" Sir, their coming home around morning already. "
" That's great news, keep an eye on Harmony and Luis." I said with a smirk and ended the call.

Melody's POV
It's already evening... Mother and father are coming and the doctors already said that ate would be OK after a few days.
"Melody? Melody! Where's your sister?" it was father
"She's inside, the doctors said she would be OK, she'll need to be under observation for a couple days to heal her wound, good thing it was just her stomach and not her heart they said.."
"Oh my baby, what happened? Why did this happened" it was mother.
"Well we were done eating our breakfast like always mom when there was a door bell, we both came to the gate and found no one but a box that had a piece of paper inside that said run then all of a sudden there was this motor bike that had a gun and started firing bullets everywhere and we took cover but ate got shot. We don't know why or who it was" I explained
I looked at them both and their faces became worried all of a sudden while they looked at each other.
"Why are you guys looking like that? Is there something we're supposed to know?" I said rather irritatedly
"No, of course not darling... We were just worried about you guys..." my father said hastingly
"Don't worry now baby, have you eaten yet? We'll grab some food for all of us. Then we'll go inside and visit your ate so she can also eat." mother said changing the topic.

HARMONY'S POV
"Luis, don't you think it's one of our dealership company that did this? I mean, they are the only one who.. Well you know we had a dealership that we.. Weren't able to fulfill and all our loans are from them." I said rather worriedly
" You mean the ones who only send secretary's to come and present works and stuff because they wanna keep things private?" he said
" Yeah those guys "I replied.
" Well if it is them we better get Melody and Crystal to safety, we can't afford anymore death threats like this even with the company now going bankrupt. "he said sternly.
" Let's just get some food, I'm sure their hungry already. " I said and we took off to get some food for the kids.

Melody's POV
"Ate, its good your awake... Are you feeling better?" I asked worriedly
"Hmm, yes baby, your ate's fine.. I'll be OK don't worry too much." she replied rather palely
"Honey we got you some food, don't worry the doctor said that you'll be fine after a couple of days." mother said assuringly
"And after that we thought after what happened were gonna go somewhere safer for you guys." father said.
"Why? Why are we going in hiding? For what?" asked ate
"It's for your safety baby and melody too. We thought it would be better."
"But why? The question is why. Why would we go in hiding? Is there something we have to know? And what about the mail that was given to us? What was it all about?" she said demandingly
"It's... Nothing baby, I'm sure they'd just made a mistake" mother said hastedly
"Oh a mistake huh? A mistake that suddenly rained bullets on our house. WOW MOTHER, SUCH A BIG MISTAKE WASN'T IT?" ate said sarcastically
"So what's a mistake? That they made a mistake with shooting our house and that they were supposed to rain bullets on another house is that what you're trying to telling me?" her voice starting to raise.
"Don't make us a fool mother and father, we may not be in the business but I know all the little dark secrets of a company and stuff, this is about the company am I right? I'm a soon to be business woman and I know when something is off. So just spill the tea and tell us the truth"she said demandingly.
"We're not making you a fool baby, we know you guys are smart, like your mother said it's nothing, we're just having troubles a bit with the company but I assure you everything will be fine."
"We're gonna go somewhere safer whether you like it or not. No questions asked." mother said
"We're gonna go now baby, we'll be back." they kissed us goodbye and left.
"Tsk what do they think of us? A three year old child!?" she said
"Don't worry ate, we're not going to go into hiding, that's just ridiculous." I said
"When I get out of this hospital I'm gonna leave the house. Are you going to come with me?" she asked
"Of course, I don't wanna be stuck up with mom and dad you know we'd just fight." I said assuringly.
3 days have passed and we're going home now. We haven't had a clear conversation with mother and father since the last argument in the hospital.
Ate and I secretly packed our bags for school and packed some clothes too while mother and father were out to get some stuff we left, of course we bid goodbye to nanay Bella and said we'd just be over at a friend's house for the meantime because that's what mother and father wants.
