LOGINDiego's POV
.
"That fucking lunatic! The bloody insane witch from hell! I swear, I will choke her to death and sell her body to the devil!"
I repeatedly swore in the back of my mind while taking my gear out of my body.
"The hell, Diego! That brain of yours is not working, man! What do you think you're doing? Why the hell you turn off that effing signal? Alam mo na iyon ang konesyon mo sa akin, at nagmamagaling ka? Huh, ang talino, pre!" kantyaw ni Morris.
Umikot na siya at kinuha ang barret m82 na gamit ko kanina.
He checked everything, and it was all intact. This means I did not fire a single bullet at my target. And that's a significant damn offense.
Damn it!
"Mainit ka kay Cariena at matunog ang pangalan mo sa lahat."
My jaw tightened and I move my head in both sides. Uminit ang ulo ko at ang sarap magwala sa mga sandaling ito.
That was my pure mission with a million dollars in the line. And just like that, that damn witch screwed it up!
No one dared and messed up my mission. Takot silang lahat sa akin, at walang nakakatalo sa akin. I'm known for that, and if they've heard that it's Diego's mission, they're too scared to fight me. Not until that round ball wicked witch face came into the scene!
"Here! Cool up and think, dickhead." Sabay hagis ni Morris sa bote ng beer.
Sinalo ko ito at binuksan gamit ang ngipin ko.
"That witch always messed up my mission, bro. Konti na lang at talagang mapapatay ko na ang babaeng iyon!" igting ng panga ko.
Morris chuckled and laughed while leaning against the rocking chair. Tumaas ang isang kilay ko, dahil sa kantyaw na ginawa niya.
This effing boar pig is a piglet when it comes to his stuff. Para siyang biik na nakatingala habang dinuduyan ng rocking chair niya.
Huh, ang pangit talaga!
"You're name got tinted because of Cariena, Diego. The brotherhood are making fun out of this. Matapang ka nga, walang nakakatalo sa'yo. Pero pagdating sa babaeng iyon ay tostado ka!" halakhak niya.
"And worse, Cariena Siobeh Costello, the daughter of the notorious ugly mafia from the North of Costellenos Frito. . . the most hated clan of De Luna and your family's worst enemy," he smirked.
Umigting ang panga ko lalo at inubos nang isang lagok anf inomin ko. I can feel the boiling of my blood inside my system.
Morris was right. My pretty damn name got tinted because of that witch. I called her the ugliest witch that I have met.
She's not even pretty, and I really want to pin her to death. Pero sa tuwing nasa harapan ko na siya ay nawawala ako sa tamang huwisyo.
I just want her dead, ganoon lang iyon. Gusto ko siyang mawala sa landas ko.'
"Kailan mo siya mapapatay? Ang tagal na, bro! Ano? Wala pa rin ba? Talo ka pa rin sa kanya," lakas na tawa niya.
"Damn it! Shut up, you pig-head!"
"It's better being a pig-head than a dick-head like you," insultong tawa niya.
Namula na ang mukha niya at bahagya na siyang lumayo sa akin. I stared at him like I'm aiming for something.
I'm not joking, I want to kill her, and I know she also wants to do the same with me.
Natapos ang gabi at bumalik na si Morris sa warehouse. I have saved all my stuff and sealed them up. I need to go back and get out of here.
I came back and arrived early in dawn using Drake's private helicopter. Si Alkimino, ang isa sa mga expertong snipper shooter niya ang sumundo sa akin. Isa rin si Alkimino sa mga pribadong body ni Prince, ang unang anak nila ni Drake at Betty.
"Zio, Diego!" salubong ni Prince. Mahigpit ang pagyakap niya sa akin.
"My dear, Prince. Come va, giovanotto?" gulo ko sa buhok niya.
"I'm all good, Zio. Where's my present?" seryosong titig niya sa akin.
I stood up, acting mighty even though I felt the shit inside me. I have to pretend I have something for him even though I forgot about it.
"Of course, I have your present!" plastic na ngiti ko. Kunwaring dumukot ako sa bulsa ko.
What the hell, Deigo! Ang bobo mo! Sigaw ng isip ko. Kung ano na lang ang mahahawakan ko ngayon sa bulsa ko ay ito na lang din ang ibibigay ko sa makulit na batang ito.
Nahinto ang kamay ko at iilang barya ang meron ako. Pinagalaw ko ulit ang kamay at kumunot ng bahagya ang noo ko, hanggang sa mahawakan ko ang bilog, mataas at matigas na bagay sa loob.
Damn it! That crazy Morris put some round rivets inside my pocket? No, not this.
Kumunot na ang noo ni Prince habang naghihintay sa akin. I smiled again and looked back at him.
"Oh, hang-on. I think I found it," pilyong ngiti ko. Sa tingin ko papel na pera ito.
I know Prince can easily ask for money from Betty or Drake, but the heck, I have nothing to give to this little fella. I may as well give this.
"Here, Prince. S-spend it wisely," abot ko nito sa kanya, at agad niya itong tinangap mula sa akin.
"Oh?" on his disappointment.
Pareho kaming nakatitig sa papel na ito at kumunot lalo ang noo ko.
Why the hell I gave Prince a piece of paper? Ang akala ko ay pera ito, hindi pala, dahil isang papel ito na lukot-lukot na.
I put my hands back inside my pocket and tried to give something in exchange—May mali yata.
"Hang on, Prince. T-That'sot the right one."
Ang dalawang kamay ko na ang ipinasok ko sa magkabilang bulsa, at butas pa ang sa kabila. Tahimik na nagmura ang isip ko, at mabilis kong pinikit ang mga mata.
"Oh, shit! I left it inside the helicopter, Prince. Hang-on for a sec!" sabay talikod ko.
Para akong baliw na gustong hanapin si Alkimino ngayon para manghiram ng pera sa akin. Pesting kalokohan talaga!
"It's alright, Zio. I love it. Look!"
Nahinto ako nang hakbang at nakangiti akong humarap ulit kay Prince. Whenever he called me Zio, this means that he's loving me being his uncle. It's the Italian way of saying 'tito', and it means Zio.
"I love what you did to Miss Cariena Siobeh's face," on his cheeky smile.
My smile faded when I saw what was on it. . . Bloody damn it!
Morris and I were drunk last night, and we were doing this type of shit. I was so agitated by Cariena's ugly face, and Morris printed it out on his not-so-high-tech system. I was pissed and ended up scribbling on it.
Hindi ko napansin na ito pala ang papel at talagang nailagay ko ito sa loob ng bulsa ko? Huh, kalokohan Diego!
"Did you finish your mission, Zio?" inosenteng mga mata niya.
Inayos niyang mabuti ang papel na halos ay mapunit na.
"Y-yes, I-I did finished the mission, Prince," hakbang ko palapit sa kanya.
Gusto kong kunin ang papel na kung nasaaan ang mukha ni Cariena. Gusto kong sunugin ito at ibaon sa ilalim ng lupa!
"Then, that's good, Zio. I will see you later," sabay talikod niya. At tumakbo na siya.
"P-Prince!"
I took a step and tried to follow him. He was happy by the look of it.
Damn it! I swore again in the back of my mind. I wish I should have eaten the paper and spat it out in hell.
I paused and took a deep breath while both of my hands are on my hips. Napatitig ako sa kabuuan ng mansyon na ito, ang mansyon ng Del Fiore, na kung nasaan ang nag-iisang kapatid ko.
"Talo ka naman sa kanya ano?"
Umigting ang tainga ko nang marinig ang maarteng boses niya. . . Si Carmella.
"Carmella, baby. . ." pilyang ngiti ko, at humakbang ako palapit sa kanya.
I looked at her from head to toe and she's very sexy. . . Very beautiful, but very dangerous. Isang pagkakamali ko lang ay alam kong patay agad ako sa babaeng ito.
"Tsk, nakakahiya ka, Diego," she pouted and looked at me from head to toe.
I paused and smiled while looking at her beautiful eyes.
"Ang baho mo!" sabay takip niya sa ilong.
"Naligo ka ba? O naligo ka sa alcohol? My goodness me!" ikot nang mga mata niya.
Nagtagpo ang kilay ko at inamoy ko na ang sarili. Mabango naman ako, amoy alcohol nga lang ako ng konti.
"Okay na nga. Ang gwapo na eh. Nag-iisang Diego De Luna, the most notorious and famous of your generations of the mafia."
"Really, Carmella?" pilyong ngiti ko. Konti na lang baka patawarin na ako nito.
"Yes, but also most idiot!" agad na bawi niya.
"I know what happened! Sabi ko na nga ba. Maiisahan ka na naman sa babaeng iyon! Sana nga pala ako na ang pumatay sa kanya! Kailan ba mawawala ang babaeng iyon sa mundo ko? Naiirita na ako, Diego. Nagkakaroon na ako ng wrinkles sa mukha ko. Look o!" sabay pakita niya sa makinis niyang pisngi sa akin.
"You are perfect, Carmella. Trust me. You have no wrinkles, nor flaws, baby. . . Hindi katulad ng mukhang mangkukulam na babaeng iyon."
"Huh, talaga lang ha! Ikaw, Diego, konti ka na lang at nauubos na ang pasensya ko sa'yo. Pinagtatawanan na ako ng lahat ng mga impaktang kaibigan ko. Alam mo ba kung ano ang tawag nila sa'yo!?" Namilog ang mga mata niya at napalunok ako.
I don't want to add up more jokes at her because I know that she doesn't seem happy today.
Pinagkakaisahan na naman yata siya ng mga babaeng kaibigan niya na may mga asawa na. Siya na lang din kasi ang natira sa mga damsel in distress darling mafia na hindi pa nag asawa.
Masyado kasing pihikan, at ewan ko ba kung anong klaseng lalaki ang hinahap niya.
"Siobeh's pet!"
"What the - what?"
My brows crossed and I can feel my blood is boiling again. I swore in the back of my mind while staring at Carmella.
"You are not someone's pet, because you belong to me! Kaya kung hindi mo mapapatay ang babaeng iyon ay ako ang papatay sa'yo, Diego!" lakas na sigaw niya at lumabas na yata ang lahat ng tutuli sa tainga ko.

C.M. LOUDEN
Charm.My first kiss? Guess what? I have none!Bryce's lips are tender and hot. I parted mine to give him access. His tongue came out, tasting me, pushing for a soft kiss.Hindi gumalaw ang bibig ko sa unang galaw ng labi niya. Pumikit ako at ginaya ang halik niya sa akin.I don't know how to kiss. I’ve been practicing it with the mirror in my bathroom. I lip to lips the mirror while imagining Bryce. Ganyan ako ka baliw!Huminto sa paghalik si Bryce at naimulat ko agad ang mga mata. Kumurap ako, pulang-pula ang pisngi ko at abot hanggang tainga ang kaba ko sa puso.I’m melting and wet. My knees wobble, and I feel so embarrassed at that. Did he notice that it was my first kiss?"Never been kissed?" His eyebrows meet a little.I swallow hard in repeat. Kinagat ko na lang ang labi at tinitigan lang siya. Hindi ako nagsalita.“Then I’ll take that as a yes?” He smirked and instantly pulled my body toward him.I gasp, and the electrifying sensation travels over me fast when I feel his lips
Charm.I keep my posture as I waited for him to be finish. Kanina pa ako hindi makahinga nang maayos at nakangiti lang. Nakatingala ako sa treehouse, nakatitig ang mga mata sa hagdanan."Nearly there,” he said as he headed back to the treehouse.Maaga ako dahil excited masyado. Tama si Manang Belen. Masyadong halata ako kay Bryce. So what? I have nothing to hide any longer. Bryce knows everything about me and my feelings. It’s all up to him! I know it’s embarrassing, but somehow making the first move takes away all the stress I have carried for years."Okay, ready?" Bumaba na si Bryce at saka ngiting tinitigan ako mula ulo hanggang paa at pabalik."Hmm…" he shakes his head, and his eyes are focused on my skirt."What's wrong?" Napatingin na tuloy ako sa sariling suot.Wala namang mali sa suot ko. Crop top na puti at mini-skirt shorts na itim. Hindi ako masisilipan dahil may panty shorts naman sa ilalim at komportable ako sa damit na ganito. At isa pa, walang sisilip sa akin rito!"N
Charm."That was cool. Thank you for the experience!"Basang basa ako, at mas lalong nabasa dahil nakababad na ako sa tubig dagat. Napailing si Bryce at namaywang habang nakatingin sa akin.Nasa buhangin na ang wavefloat. Naka-tow na ito sa sasakyan para maibalik sa sched ni Papa. Naligo muna ako sa dagat. Gusto kong magtampisaw dahil masaya ako.The swim with the baby sharks was cool. I liked it so much! I had fun. It was one of the best experiences I have had."I will tow this back to your father's sched, Charm." Tumalikod na siya at humakbang patungo sa sasakyan."Ha? T-Teka lang. Sama ako!""No. Stay there. I will be back."Nahinto ako at nagulan sa sinabi niya. Pero nakuha ko na rin, dahil hindi na siya nakatingin sa akin at pumasok lang din siya agad sa loob ng sasakyan.I watch him as he drives back the Waveboat. I smiled and went back swimming.Mababaw lang naman ang tubig sa bahaging ito at hightide ang dagat. Hanggang legs ko lang, at malinaw ang tubig. Maraming maliit na i
Charm.Nakakatakot man ay binaliwala ko na ito. Nandito si Bryce at hawak ko ang leeg niya. Hindi niya naman siguro ako bibitawan at pababayaan 'di ba?I'm confident, and I trust him. I don’t trust myself when it comes to these, but having him beside me is more than enough to try the devil things.I love the ocean. It gives me the spirit of being free as it washes away all the worries and problems I have inside. I may look tough and bubbly without any issues. But deep inside, I have my own demons that I face each day.Matapang lang ako sa labas na anyo, pero mahina ako sa maraming bagay. Pero sa bagay na gusto ko, ay hindi ako basta-basta bimibitaw. Kaya heto, kakapit ako hangga't kaya ko."Sure ka ba na hindi nila lalapangin ang paa ko?" Pumwesto ang paa ko sa paanan ni Bryce. Nakaapak ako sa kanya, at nakapulupot ang kamay ko sa leeg niya.Our eyes locked, and my breathing was restricted. I'm tense. I can feel him, and I know he feels the same way I do right now. I swallow hard and
Bryce.It’s more than a jetski because it’s a Waveboat Z8 Hevo. It has a jet ski and a boat at the same time. I could use it to escape if I want to. It could go back and forth for hours.Charmie backed it out of her father’s shed. It has everything there, the luxurious ones, including this Waveboat we are using. She knows what she's doing. She can navigate well, and it seems like she's used this several times.“Do you know how to operate it?"She’s now in front of me, smiling sweetly.Yes, of course. But then driving it for more than fifteen minutes? No. I can only do a few minutes, and then Papa will take over or his captain on board.I nod a little and adore how perfect she looks in the mornings without any makeup.“It's the perfect time to see the babies." Tinitigan niya ang relo na suot. "We'd better go, Bryce, because I don't want to see the big ones. This time, the mothers are not around because they’re searching for food. And as soon as feeding time is over, they always get ba
Byrce.Yeah, you’d better get out of here before I do something that I might regret later. Damn it.I jerked my head up and inhaled deeply. I’m so stuffed, hard, and fucking horny. And there she is, in front of me like a food that I need to take. What a mess.When was the last time I released this type of stress? Can’t think about the last time I fuck someone. It’s that long, and now I feel the urge to let it go in the image of Charm. Typical man needs. I just jerk myself again like last night.Inayos ko ang sarili at nag isip ng mabuti. I have nothing to do anymore because I finished everything in this treehouse and outside yesterday. Today, I went out for a swim after running and walking around the island for almost three hours.I took another look and mapped it out. There’s an island nearby, and I wonder if that’s the Amore de Pazzo.Bumaba na rin ako pagkatapos magpalit at nakita siya sa baba, naghihintay at nakangiting nakatingin sa akin.Charmie is more than beautiful. She can
