He sipped his wine and smiled. "Well, thoughts just came running on my mind upon seeing how our dear Sese's eyes were fixated on Ivanessa that night. I never saw him looked at a girl like that except her. So yeah, from that night I already knew she was the one"

I bitterly chuckled. "You already knew that moment, that she can be use as a pillar in order to save Sese from his trauma right?" napabuga ako ng hangin sa naisip. "You really are ruthless Bronze"

"Well we all know that in order to save Sese, we need someone who can change him first. And I knew that moment it was Ivanessa" he explained in a calm demeanor as if no life was sacrificed by his absurd idea.

Wala man ako sa lugar na pinangyarihan ng lahat. Just by looking into this guy makes me feel that I knew everything. He isn't a person who is easy to read. Rather is someone very cunning and mysterious, yet because of the things I already knew about him. I know what he is capable of doing.

I still clearly remember that night when Bronze called me saying,

"Hey"

"What do you need?" I was still in the office in our London branch trying my best to finish all this piled up papers.

"Are you on your way here at Sese's party? You said you're gonna follow"

"I'm still in the middle of work. I'll do my best"

I didn't hear a sound coming from the other side of the line. Then he said. "Okay. I'll just tell them you couldn't come due to work. No need to stressed yourself too much." is what he said then just ended the call before I can even say my reply.

Well it's not that it bothered me. So I shrugged any random thoughts forming into my mind and just focused doing work.

"And also by that, meaning you also manipulated everyone that surrounds them" I said as a matter of fact.

"Well I just sent a letter to Harrison about our old winery" he said then shrugged is shoulders.

Dumating ang ilan niyang mga pinsan para batiin siya since they just arrived. I said my fair share of greetings and they left leaving us again on our own table.

"I don't know everything you've done. But I'm sure how well can you make things turn the way you wanted them to be"

Our conversation continued since the party hasn't started yet.

I unfolded everything in my mind with just Bronze giving me a sign that it was all true.

Starting from how he gave that guy Harrison an idea, that Ivanessa should comeback to the Philippines and study to the same school as they were.

Hindi ko alam paano niya yun ginawa, but this manipulative genius really knows how to use his power.

"I don't want to think about it, but just thinking about that invitation my sister had in Paris made me realized you also used her as a pawn because she is with you"

He did nothing but chuckled at every thought I unveiled. "I really can't believe you"

"You know" he shifted his body and faced me completely with his arm resting on the back of the chair.
"Why don't we just play a little game, while we wait for the party to start?"

The way he gives me his knowing smile, I already know how he wants to have fun while using his games to play.

"Tell me what you know, and I'll tell you if it's true"

"And what if I'm wrong?"

Nagkunwari siyang nag isip. "Then I'll give you the right answers. And if you got at least 10 correct answers before the party begins, I'll give you a prize" he said raising his eyebrow up and down provoking me.
