MEANWHILE, inside the room where Hazel’s father was, there was a long table—Claire was sure it could fit around fifteen or twenty people given its size. The couple greeted the emperor, who smirked in response.

“You two are too formal. Didn’t you bring me any gifts? Like a gun or a sword?”

Claire and Zekiel exchanged glances at that, and Zekiel took Claire’s hand before facing the emperor.

“That was from the past Emperor Alfonso,” Zekiel said seriously, which only made Alfonso smirk wider as he stood up from his seat.

“Forgive my insolent behavior, Your Majesty. Welcome to the mafia hideout,” he said with a bow to Claire before raising his gaze to look at Zekiel.

“You’re still the same, Zekiel Gray—fireless, just like Your Majesty here,” he remarked, glancing at Claire, who frowned.

Truthfully, she wanted to roll her eyes at his words. She wasn’t angry at the emperor himself, but because of what his subordinates had done, she felt irritated with him.

    Zoey’s eyes widened when she spotted a corner where three people were approaching. Even though the woman and man were wearing masks, she recognized them instantly. She immediately looked for her brother and saw him engaged in a fight not too far away, so she rushed toward him. “Kuya! Mommy and Daddy are here! They’re about to leave! If they see us, they’ll definitely be suspicious—especially if they find out we’re siblings!” Zayne snapped out of his focus at Zoey’s words and swiftly kicked his opponent away. He glanced where his twin was pointing, and sure enough, their parents were there—alongside a woman he was certain was the mafia member they had spoken to earlier that morning. Why hadn’t he considered that their parents would come here, especially with a mafia member in tow? “We must get out now, Zoey. The show’s over,” Zayne said seriously, prompting Zoey to nod and grab her brother’s hand. Like bubbles, they vanished, swiftly making their way to the elevator and leavi

    “KUYA, are you sure about this?!” Zoey asked her twin nervously as they approached a place where a party was happening. “Calm down, Zoey. Just trust me,” Zayne said seriously, making his twin frown but quietly follow him. Zayne had explained things properly to her. After leaving their parents earlier, they went straight to the mall to buy a formal dress, a new wig, and new contact lenses. According to Zayne, they were going to a party that served as an entrance to the underground mafia world. At first, she couldn’t believe it—especially since it was her first time hearing about such a thing—but when she saw how serious her brother was, she decided to go along with it. When they entered the place Zayne mentioned, Zoey couldn’t help but marvel at the crowd inside, dancing in the center. Some were drinking at the sides, others were chatting—it looked like a bar! “Wow! This is my first time, Kuya! Let’s go!” Zoey was about to rush into the crowd to join the party, but her twin q

    Suddenly, Zekiel grabbed my hand and was about to place it behind his back, but I stopped him. “It’s been a long time, princess.” I immediately smiled at that and ran toward him, hugging him tightly. “Hazel!” He returned my embrace right away, and I even heard his soft laughter. “Still the same princess, huh? Did you really age?” I hit his arm for saying that, but he only laughed harder. “You made me worried, Hazel. Don’t just appear out of nowhere. Especially earlier when your annoying friend removed her contact lenses.” Hazel and I broke apart from our hug when Zekiel arrived, glaring at me, so I hid behind Hazel. “Don’t worry, Keil. I’ll scare you more next time.” Zekiel gave Hazel a sharp look, but she didn’t care at all. By the way, this is Hazel Reign. She’s a mafia leader. I met her four years ago, during the time someone tried to harm my brother Clark. She helped me infiltrate them, and her reason? She was annoyed with her father’s way of running the mafia wo

    CLAIRE “Was it right to leave them behind? What if they don’t know the way back and run into the mafia again?” I asked my husband worriedly as we walked. We had left Lili and Kai at the park because they said they wanted to stroll around. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I was completely at ease with them—maybe because of what happened when we rescued them. Plus, I really adore Lili! “My love, they’re grown-ups. Besides, Kai’s responsible for her. If they get lost, then he doesn’t deserve to be Lili’s husband.” I glanced at Zekiel. I’d noticed he didn’t get along with Kai. Kai was kind and always smiling, but my husband seemed to dislike him. Well, I couldn’t blame him—he’s overprotective of me, and Kai couldn’t even protect his own wife. But I couldn’t hold it against Kai either—they were just ordinary people. I learned from them that their mothers were both Filipinas, while their fathers were from different countries. Not surprising—it was obvious. “Don’t be like that, my love

    Zekiel and Claire were walking around after getting off the plane. They already had a place to stay, and it wasn’t hard to get there, but they decided to walk first to think about where they should start looking for the twins. It was a huge advantage that Claire knew the area well, especially since they were the ones who governed the town—unlike the twins. That’s why they were worried. In the middle of their walk and conversation, they heard someone calling for help. “Did I hear that right? That was Tagalog, wasn’t it?” Claire asked in surprise, and the couple exchanged glances. That was enough for them to understand that someone needed help. Claire was about to rush toward the voice when her husband stopped her. “No, my life! If we save them, we’ll be the ones targeted! I’m sure those people are part of a mafia group!” Zekiel warned his wife, but Claire narrowed her eyes at him. “So, you’ll just let our fellow countrymen get hurt?” Zekiel fell silent at his wife’s words,

    Claire had no idea that the blonde woman she was talking about was none other than Zoey. After leaving their house, they immediately went to a remote place with very few people—the kind of area the wealthy would never visit. That was their first thought because they were sure their father would never expect them to stay there temporarily. They rented a small house and paid for a full month, even though they only planned to stay for two days. They introduced themselves as a married couple under the names Lili and Kai Ryan. Since they paid upfront, they were quickly accepted as tenants. The place was small but clean, which Zoey preferred, especially since she was particular about cleanliness. There was only a simple bed and no other furniture, but it didn’t matter to them since they wouldn’t be staying long. While they were there, Zayne took care of arranging their passports and fake documents. Where did he learn to do that? Aside from the internet, he had picked up a lot from t

    Bianca immediately stood up when she saw me and hid her phone. I narrowed my eyes at her because of what she did. “Oh yeah, why didn’t we think of it sooner? Those three must be friends!” Hero said, as if suddenly realizing. I sighed, let go of Zekiel’s hand, and approached Bianca. I sat in front of her and looked straight into her eyes. “Bianca, do you know where the twins went? Based on how you hid your phone, you know something, right? So don’t hide it anymore, okay?” I asked with a smile, making her shoulders slump before she nodded at me. “Ninang, I’m worried about them too! I can’t contact them anymore! They told me they’d call as soon as they arrived in Spain!” “Spain?!” We all asked in unison after hearing Bianca’s words. She nodded and handed me her phone. “That’s my last conversation with Zayne, Ninang.” The others immediately gathered around me to look at the phone. There were only a few texts, but it was clear—Zayne said they were going to Spain to look for

    CLAIRE “PLEASE, Papa, just agree! I don’t know what I’ll do if something bad happens to my children. Papa, I’m begging you!” I was almost on my knees in front of Papa, just so he would allow me to return to the Philippines. When I found out the twins were missing, I immediately disturbed Papa so I could go home as soon as possible. I wouldn’t be at peace until I knew where they were. First, Kuya Clark goes missing, and now them too? “Claire, my child, stand up. I’ll agree, but—” “Thank you, Papa!” I couldn’t help myself and hugged him tightly, but he quickly pulled away. “That is, if your Kuya Timothy agrees. He’s the one covering for us. Don’t you remember you’re the Queen now? If they find out you’re not in the palace, there’ll be chaos again.” “Don’t worry, I’m willing to cover for Her Highness.” I was about to speak when that person cut me off. When we turned, we saw Kuya Timothy bowing respectfully to us. He lifted his gaze and gave me a sad smile. “I know how h
