Chapter 7

“IT WASN’T HIM,” ani ng ama niya kaya nagtatakang tinapunan niya ito ng tingin.

“Greg is holding your case, this investigation might be his doing.” Paliwanag niya sa ama.

“The Nexus Corp. has nothing to do with me anymore, Elizabeth. That company is already in your name.”

Nagsalubong ang magkabilang kilay niya. “What are you trying to say, papa?”

Her father tapped the seat beside him and guided her to sit.

“Turn to the next page, Elizabeth.”

She obliged and turned to the next page. Isang litrato ang tumambad sa kanya. Taken secretly from afar. It’s a man wearing formal attire with his hair brushed upwards, smiling and shaking hands with a man in his late 50s wearing a sleek black coat with military pins on its collar. It’s Alaister and his father in the airport. Below the photo was a timestamp.

An hour before I landed.

“He’s here… with him?” Nanghihinang aniya, halos hindi na marinig.

Napatitig siya sa kawalan. She can hear her heart pounding. No matter how

  • Dealing with the Ruthless Mafia   23

    HopelessElizabeth was in shock. Nakatitig lamang siya sa anak niya. Ala is wearing the empire’s sigil. It was embroidered on his other sleeve. That just means that… Ala is officially recognized as part of the empire! Ala’s presence in the empire, wearing the empire’s insignia, is not just a mere coincidence. All this time, akala niya ay nasa malayo ang kanyang anak. Malayo sa kanila. “Why are you here, baby?” Nanginginig ang boses na tanong niya sa anak. She held her son’s hands and looked him in the eyes. Nakaupo pa din siya sa sahig habang naharap sa anak niyang nakatayo lang. Ala gave her a small smile and pouts. “Lolo brought me here. He said I’ll be safe here.” He honestly answered.“Matagal ka ng nandito?” She asked and Ala nodded.She exhaled sharply. It was her father’s doing afterall. Gustuhin man niyang komprontahin ang ama ay wala ito ngayon sa emperyo and she’s too tired to do it. Kaya tumayo siya at hinawakan ang kamay ng kanyang anak. “Let’s go?” She gently said an

    RecklessSHE BROUGHT Alaister to her empire. Alam niyang hindi sasang-ayon ang lahat, especially the council. She just brought an enemy into their territory. But nevertheless, she wants to make sure Alaister won’t escape.“So you’re kidnapping him?” Usisa ni Enid sa kanya. Nasa van na sila ngayon. Veronica is the driver, Enid on the shotgun seat, and the three of them, Raven, Elizabeth, and Alaister on the backseat. Pabalik na sila sa emperyo kasama ang anak ng Heneral. Alaister’s hands are handcuffed by Raven. Making sure he won’t hurt their Sovereign. Raven was asking Elizabeth if she was okay o kung may masakit ba sa kanya. She just met these guys for days and it’s weird that he’s worried about her.“You should’ve protected the Sovereign more, Nyx!” Raven hissed as he wiped the blood stain on her hands. Hindi naman niya talaga dugo iyon, it was Alaister’s.Enid rolled her eyes and glared at him. “Pwede ba, I just killed three men for your precious sovereign. Kaya ‘wag mo akong i

    Captive“FOCUS, Elizabeth! Bibigwasan talaga kita.” Nanggigigil na bulong ni Enid sa kanya habang hinahakot ang mga packages papunta sa chopper. She was dumbfounded. Her mind is floating somewhere else. She can’t focus on their mission. She’s on the verge of confronting him. Bakit niya ito ginagawa? Is the General forcing him to do this? Maraming katanungan sa kanyang isipan at si Alaister lang ang makakasagot nito. She needed answers! Akala niya ay hindi ito katulad ng ama niya. She thought he’s clean. “Should we take down the boss, m’lady? The snipers are on sight.” Boses iyon ni Leon mula sa kaniyang earpiece.Tinanaw niya si Alaister na nakatayo malapit sa chopper. He’s giving orders as if he belonged in that world. He’s busy commanding the workers as he put his cellphone to his ear, his face was unreadable. Parang hindi na ito ang Alaister na kilala niya. O kilala niya bang talaga ito?“Target confirmed?” Tanong ni Raven sa kabilang linya. “You just have to say the word, Sover

    Infiltration“WHAT THE FUCK, Elizabeth?!” Mahina ngunit may panggigigil na ani ni Enid. It’s 2 AM in the morning and Elizabeth has already assembled her team. And Enid here, is the only one who would be with her throughout the mission, unfortunately. “What?” Natatawang tanong ni Elizabeth habang inaayos ang holster ng kanyang belt. “Our outfit should match theirs.” Aniya na tinutukoy ang mga tauhan sa ikatlong emperyo. They’re wearing all black coversuits, stitched with matte fiber padding. Their faces are covered by a black mesh cloth, only showing their eyes. “We look like thieves!” Giit ni Enid habang inaayos ang sarili. Ganun naman talaga ang suot ng mga tao sa ikatlong emperyo. All black coversuits, their faces covered, a holster with different weapons inside it. The usual look of a terrorist.“Bilisan mo d’yan, we have to go now!” Sigaw niya dito na nakaharap pa rin sa salamin. Elizabeth is now preparing all the things she needs for their infiltration. Nilagay niya lahat n

  • Dealing with the Ruthless Mafia   Chapter 19

    CrazyWHEN she saw Leon in her empire, she wasn’t shocked at all. But when her father introduced him as the member of the right hand of the crown, she was speechless. Hindi niya akalaing gano’n kataas ang posisyon nito.Her father introduced her to the head of every department of their empire. Leon as the commander of the east, one of the commanders in the hand of the crown. Enid as the head of the black blade assassin, one of the empire’s most elite assassination units, and Faith as an officer in the Raven division, a messenger and scout. Ano pa bang hindi niya alam? All this time, her secretary in Nexus is also part and an official in their empire? And Enid, she thought she was just a medic. Nakilala na niya din ang iba pang mga opisyales at importanteng tao sa emperyo. Commander of the north, Raven Beaumont. And Veronica Vergara, sophisticated and elegant woman, as the commander of the south. Magkaedad lang sila ng mga ito. In the intelligence operatives, there is Ferdinan Israel

    CeremonyWHEN SHE accepted the fact that the rites should no longer be delayed, akala niya ay ipagpapabukas pa nila ang seremonya. Kaya naman nagulat siya ng ngayong araw ito gaganapin. “Papá, hindi ba pwedeng ipagpabukas muna ang seremonya? What’s the rush?” She asked her father in a low voice but laced with hesitation.The both of them are sitting in a quiet room, in the private chamber to be exact, just behind the ceremonial hall. Tapos na siyang ayusan. She wore a simple golden dress, elegant but not heavy, embroidered by six lines vertically, with a thin silk white cloth draped like a cape over her shoulders, cascading down to her back like a quiet river. Her heart is pounding. Hindi niya akalaing ganito kalaki ang responsibilidad na papasanin niya. She didn’t think that the empire his father was leading was really big. She never got a chance to be oriented by her father about the empire. She was busy delaying it.The private chamber was surrounded by an incense burning air, a
