Ian was escorted by the bodyguards from the outside. He didn’t even give me a last glance, while I just crossed my arms watching him go away from me, like I was just some trash he discarded when the consequences of loving me are waving at him right now. I felt a presence behind me, so I looked over my shoulder, but not enough to see Karlo completely.

“I’m sorry, but I had to tell him the truth before he gets in the way,” I heard him say.

“Before he gets in the way?” I echoed. “What the hell are

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Thirty-Two: Other Line

    Silence prevailed between Karlo and me while we were inside the elevator. On the other hand, I could see from our both reflections that he was hovering my body from my head to toe. He wanted to comment, but he stopped himself.The elevator sounded opening, revealing numerous cars in the parking lot. Just like last night, it was completely deserted. I gulped, fear washing over me because of my overthinking mind. What if there are black figures again? What if they will attack without us knowing? What if there are many now?“I’m here,” I heard Karlo mutter.I turned my head to my side to face him. “What?”He looked back, looking directly into my eyes. “I just want you to know… that I am here,” he assured softly.After that, I felt a warm hand on mine. I gazed at our intertwined hands, feeling comfort just by his mere touch. I nodded for a while before we went outside together. My head spun around the whole parking lot with lined-up cars, hoping to spot my friends. I heard a newly parked

    “We still held the attacker as a hostage. My men are watching over him. He’s unconscious. Once he wakes up, we will interrogate him,” Karlo explained to me.I furrowed my eyebrows. “Do you think Helen is behind this?”Karlo sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. “Well, I received news from Timothy about Ritz, your clone,” he started, and sadly looked in my eyes. “She was found dead in your mansion. That must have been the confirmation reported by her killers that that was not you.”Just the idea of having someone dead because she’s pretending to be me is terrifying. I could not imagine the number of people chasing me, satisfying them to see me lying on the floor, bleeding, and desperately catching my breath until it is hard to catch it now.“I believe Helen now knows that you are out of the country, and she has found you here, Minerva,” he said, and he tightly clenched my hands. “Do you still want to continue your MBA? Even online will do. I will ask your university to offer you

    “Oh, and how would you know him in just a short time? Did you guys…” Jerlyn trailed off and did a disgusting hand demonstration, but that would mean… sex.“No! Gosh, no!” I denied and waved my two hands to form an X. “We never! We were just friends since high school back in the Philippines.”They gaped at me with audible shocked exclamations. I grinned and intertwined both of my hands, sighing in the end. When they fell silent to look forward to what I was about to say, I revealed the truth. “To be honest, he courted me for several years until we were in college. He just stopped when he moved here to the USA. Ever since, I have never heard of him,” I confessed.“Oh, my gosh! Are you his first love, then?” Shiela said and pointed at me, letting go of her forked steak.“So you’re the one who broke his heart and made him a playboy?” Mariel concluded.“No way!” Jerlyn exclaimed. “Minerva, is it real?”A hesitant nod was the confirmation they all needed. I caressed my nape when they exch

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Twenty-Nine: Decorations

    All of the girls rode in Sheila’s car. We were shrieking out of excitement as we were going to our condominium building to start decorating for Kristine’s birthday. On the other hand, the boys were taking care of the food and beverage. The last thing I heard from them before we separated was that they were going to buy raw meat for barbecue tomorrow. I was not even sure if the pool area’s management would allow that, but I will try to ask Karlo’s permission when I get there.“Wow, this is one of the most expensive condominiums in the city. I had no idea that you were that rich, Minerva!” Jerlyn exclaimed.The girls even looked up at the height of the building. I also did the same, but I was not even slightly amused.“Hmmm, I think it’s just an ordinary building,” I commented and shrugged. “Anyway, let’s go inside now before we waste any time.”They agreed and continued the conversation about the birthday suggestion of decorations like little high school girls. Even the residents insid

    “No,” Victor answered after a minute of silence. “But I’m not closing doors. I know I have been playing hearts and breaking them in the end, but I also can’t force myself to love someone else. Many times, I have tried to forget you, entertain people who were interested in me, and intensify relationships, but they don’t end very well.”“Then how could it be possible for both of us, if you can’t even prolong your relationship with others?” I inquired in curiosity.“Because I really, really liked you before, you know? It felt like I was looking for you in everyone I met,” he explained and gradually shook his head. “But maybe that is the thrill in it. I didn’t get you in the end, so I was trying to find someone similar to you so I could finally experience the love that you never reciprocated.”I furrowed my eyebrows. “You are a good man, Victor. I know you are going to meet someone – not similar to me, but better than me, who would give you the love more than you deserve.”He glanced at m

    I glanced at Victor with amusement. His smirk was still playing on his lips, but there was embarrassment in his eyes at how they were no longer fixated on the road. While driving, I could see Sheila from the rearview mirror, who was not in delight and was merely crossing her arms.“First love?” I broke the silence and slightly looked over my shoulder.“Minerva, that is not important anymore,” Victor tried to shroud the topic while his hand was still on the steering wheel.“Oh, yeah? Before, he mentioned a girl he liked very much when he was still residing in the Philippines. He was loyal to her, but ever since he moved here and this alleged girl had another boyfriend, he has played every woman he dated. I have never heard him being serious in relationships. And that is because he still likes that mysterious girl from the Philippines!”I squinted my eyes at Victor. “Really?”“Yes. I wonder how beautiful that girl is for our friend to be crazy about her. I mean, can you agree, Minerva?

    I keep looking at my phone during my training because the girls might text me any minute now. Karlo maintained his lecturing. Meanwhile, I am half listening to him and then taking my eyes on my phone that I put on the table under the canopy. We are in the backyard again of the building where we usu

    As agreed, Karlo and I went to the university where I can process my enrollment to pursue an MBA. Most of the time, he was the one who took care of it, while I took pictures around the campus, where some places are just astonishing to photograph so that I could upload them to my Instagram account.

    We reached the mansion in a while, and I decided to get rest. I didn’t have a phone, that’s why I couldn’t call Ian. When I woke up, it was almost dinner time. Silence prevailed inside my room, and all I could think about is food inside my tummy. I stood up from the bed and checked the time from m

    After the conversation Gaidel, Karlo, and I had inside the conference room, I was left alone with nothing to do but stare at the wall in front of me, as the two of them went outside, and Karlo wanted me to stay. I remained sitting on the swivel chair with both hands at the sides of my head, my elbo
