The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 32

“You’re alive?” Frederick said in shock as he stares at the man standing in front of him. “H—how? The car blew up and the news said that you’re dead, CCTVs even proved that you didn’t managed to get out from your car.”

“It seems that you’re forgetting that we have more advanced technology nowadays, Uncle.” Tyron said. “Just a little bit of alteration and it’s believable.”

“You…!” Fred clenches his jaw as he glares at Tyron.

“Why don’t you give up, Uncle? It’s all over.” Tyron said.

“It is not over yet!” Fred shouted. “Everything will be over once I achieved my goal!” He added as he pulls the gun’s trigger towards Tyron.

Tyron is fast enough to dodge the bullet.

“You might be lucky to escape that explosion and the bullet but your family will not be so lucky as you are.” Fred said, grinning like a devil.

“What do you mean?” Tyron asks, panicking but Fred laughs at his question.

“Let’s see if you can still laugh after all of these… You must think that I don’t know where they are, are you?” Fred asks, mockingly.

“You—”

“don’t think lightly of me, Tyron.” Fred grins and shot another bullet at Tyron and Gabriel.

They are lucky that they managed to dodge it but Fred fleas.

“Damn it!” Gabriel curses as his agents chase over Fred. “Damn it!” He shouted in rage; the mission failed. Ramon Madrigal is dead as he exchanges fires with the authorities while Frederick Cruz is on run.

Frederick found a chance to escape the warehouse when the commotion happened and Ramon Madrigal is exchanging fires with the authorities.

And that is when Tyron and Gabriel tried to corner him.

“Damn!” Tyron also shouted in rage. His wish to see his wife after today vanished into thin air.

“We need to tighten the security where your family is.” Gabriel told him while gritting his teeth.

Gabriel immediately calls Leon to give them a heads-up. They cannot be sure what will happen after this.

“Then it must be Frederick’s rats who we caught loitering around here.” Leon said over the phone.

“Darn it!” Gabriel curses. “Make sure that the Cruz and the Morgans will be safe!” He added. “I think it will be better to moved them first thing in the morning.”

“I am also thinking the same, Sir.” Leon agrees. “Now that the target is aware of their whereabouts, I guess, the safest place will be the headquarters.”

“Can you move them now?” Gabriel asks, as Tyron listens to their conversation.

“Unfortunately, not. All of them are already asleep, except for Isabella. Agent Star heard her crying in her room.” Leon said.

“Then, transfer them into the headquarters first thing in the morning.” Gabriel orders.

“Roger that, boss.”

“This is bad.” Gabriel said to Tyron. “It seems that your uncle is waiting for the right time…”

“I just don’t understand, Gab, why is mu uncle so focused on revenge? I mean—is it not enough that he thought I was dead at first? So, why does he need to harm my family? Our family to be exact.”

“I didn’t tell you this but, your Uncle seems to be still had feelings for your mother.” Gabriel said, making him frown.

“W…what?”

“It is a love triangle between your parents and your Uncle.”

“Are you saying that my father snatch my mother away from uncle Fred?”

“No. That’s not what happened.” Gabriel sighs. “Your mother sees Fred as a friend only, so your father didn’t ruin a relationship. It’s just that your Uncle still haven’t let go of his feelings for your mother.”

Tyron sighs. “My family sure loves to complicate things.”

“They sure do.” Gabriel agrees.

Tyron ang Gabriel are on their way to the headquarters, when suddenly there’s a blinking light on Gab’s watch and a faint sound—Tyron already knows that it is an emergency.

“Is there something wrong that you’re calling me through the watch?” Gab asks.

“Fred is here and we are outnumbered! We need back up!” Leon said immediately.

“Roger that, agent!” Gab said as he immediately pulls out his phone and sent messages. “Back-up is on the way, keep the whole family safe!”

“You…!”

“Put him away!” Tyron said and the agents pull Fred outside together with his men.

“Your wife and your baby are safe.” The doctor said.

“Then why is my wife still unconscious?” Tyron asks, worried. Isabella is unconscious for three days.

“She is just exhausted and needs some rest.” The doctor replies. “There is nothing to worry about, Mister Cruz.”

Tyron sighs and holds Isabella’s hand.

“I will take my leave then.” The doctor said before leaving him and his mother in the room.

“Mom, it really made a wrong decision back there.” Tyron said. “I should’ve told her the truth.” He added.

“Don’t take all of the blame, Tyron.” His mother said. “We are also held accountable for it because we didn’t tell her anything.”

“But I should’ve contacted you all sooner.”

“Stop blaming yourself. You just did what you thought is right.”

“But that doesn’t justify what I did, mom. My pregnant wife barely sleeps at night and now she’s still unconscious.”

“Oh, Tyron…”

“I don’t know what to do, mom.” Tyron sheds a tear. “I guess, this is what my wife is going through when she thought that I was dead—the feeling of being empty and lost.” He buries his face onto his palm. “I made my wife miserable, mom. I should’ve not agreed to the marriage. She is more cheerful when she hasn’t meet me.”

“Are you listening to yourself, Tyron?” His mom asks.

“If both of you didn’t marry each other, then the misunderstanding between our families will not be resolved! And you will not learn how to love someone dearly!”

“We can resolve the family issue even without us being married! There are other ways, I’m sure of it!” Tyron said. “And I would rather want to be alone than seeing Isabella lying in the hospital bed, unconscious!”

“A…are you going to be like that once I give birth?”
