It was so hard. My body was aching for the past days, while I was preparing for the start of my MBA. I don’t even know if Karlo would get interested in going outside since he was just too focused on our training. He would just call his secretary or the vice president of his company to check on the progress of his projects, but that’s all. He and I were inseparable inside the apartment.

“You can watch TV. I’ll cook,” Karlo said and went to the kitchen.

“Yeah, okay,” I said and cracked my neck as

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Twenty-Three: Closure

    I yawned and stretched my arms a little bit after the class was done. Shiela immediately went to me, asking how I managed to convince our condominium’s management to party in the pool area.“Trust me. It was just so easy,” I merely said and winked at her.Our friends were already in the students' lounge, waiting for us, since Sheila called us for a meeting. The group chat again was lined up with messages, but I didn’t bother to look at them. My mind was still thinking about the professor’s discussion, so I had to read a book while walking through the hallway. Shiela was still pattering. I managed to reply to her whenever she asks questions while reading.“Hey, guys! Classes done?” I heard Sheila as she ran towards the table where our friends were.I had to finish the last part of the book chapter, so I didn’t look it up. I stopped in the middle of the lounge. They were clamoring and calling me already, so I had to raise my hand and make them stop. When I was satisfied with what I read

    Unknown Number: This is Victor. I got your number from Bogdan. I want to apologize for the things I said a while ago in the meeting.After that message, my WhatsApp was bombarded with messages from all our other friends. Shiela already made a group chat for all of us, and they were sending pictures of the food, beverages, and decorations they could think of. The girls were excited to approve. The boys, though, were just on seen or on delivered, showing uninterest. They were mentioning my name in numerous messages, but I replied to Victor’s message instead.To: VictorIt’s fine.I turned off my phone and went directly to the shower room so I could take a bath. I am so tired from the training, and only cold water can take that away from me.“Protect her at all costs. If she is being followed, tighten the security. She should not be dead, Timothy…”I stopped walking towards the kitchen after showering when I heard the authoritative voice of Karlo. When I peeked over, he was already pacin

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Twenty-One: Argument

    “That was not a good suggestion, though,” Victor retorted. “Just because you are rich, Minerva, doesn’t mean you have to suggest a grand place where you can brag about your expensive contribution to the party.”“So this is all about me in the end?” I concluded and dramatically pointed at myself. “I just want the best for Kristine’s birthday party, and you are attacking me-““No, I am not attacking you. I am talking about how you are not thinking about-““A mere suggestion and yet you are now making drama-““It’s still not logical. Just one night. We cannot spend that much money, you know?”“Okay, fine. Where do you want to suggest, then? In your house?”“We have no pool. Everyone in this group has no pool in their houses. Do you have one?”I bit my lower lip to stop myself from speaking up again. They were all so silent, their eyes ping-ponged, alternately looking at Victor and me. He has a point, though, and I didn’t even realize that Victor was right. If no one in the group has a po

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Twenty: Meeting

    His response only deepened my curiosity. He didn’t like the question, much as he didn’t like me asking about his family. I just realized I have no idea who Karlo Rodriguez is, except as my annoying husband and mafia boss in his stupid organization.I hated that the morning came. It would mean that I have to face Karlo after he excused himself last night. When I sat up on the bed, I stared at the window glass that showed the sun rising barely due to the see-through curtains, wishing it would just go back to nighttime.Suddenly, my phone beeped. A text came through. It was from Karlo.Karlo: Breakfast now, queen.Oh!Without even thinking twice, I stood up with exuberance, almost leaping out of joy because of his text. I thought he wouldn’t talk to me anymore! My home slippers were so loud running up the staircase that I bet Karlo could hear them. When I reached the kitchen, I saw him stirring the two coffee cups that were plastered on the counter. There was also a plate of bagels, frui

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Nineteen: Curiousity

    “I expected weapons in your cabin because you told me last morning that you trained here with your family. Except for the guns we used to train in the shooting area, your cabin seemed pretty normal,” I shared with Karlo when we ate in the dining area after he served our lunch. “So, where are the weapons and a practice area? Did you train combat without equipment in the vast Bermuda grass or-““No,” Karlo answered abruptly while putting pieces of the chicken curry on my plate. “Eat.”That’s it?“Rest for a while, and we will be back in training,” he said.“Well, how did you train when you were young?” I asked furthermore, refusing to dismiss my curiosity.He continued eating. “We had a special place that is now secluded. I don’t want you there,” he said.“And… why is that?”“You don’t have to know, Minerva.”“But-““Please… I would rather not talk about this.”Irritation rose inside my brain, but based on his expression, he seemed uncomfortable with my question. Even though I want to f

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Eighteen: The Cabin

    “Wow,” I muttered in awe.The cabin is vintage brown. From what I could see, it is three-storey with glass doors and windows. I couldn’t see the interiors because there were white curtains from the inside. A terrace was on the second floor, filled with a marble table, two chairs, and flowery plants in all corners. The whole area was vast, covered with bermuda grass, a fountain in front of the cabin’s entrance, and a variety of plans that were perfectly arranged. There was even a gazebo not far from the cabin. Even though I haven’t seen everything in this cabin, I could already guess that it is very big enough to house two to three families. I was circling around the bermuda grass. My mouth dropped and my eyes wandered in every place of the area. I touched the water of the fountain with fishes swimming on it, and looked at the sun with its rays penetrating through the branches of the tall trees. It was so peaceful and refreshing. The wind played with my hair strands, so I closed my ey

    Sheila and Christine introduced me to their party. I knew some of them from the classes I attended today, and the others were studying from other universities, but they know each other in the city. We were the same ages, and they were interesting to know. We had light drinks since we all have clas

    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

    “This is the headquarters of the Red Cartel. The members would train here, have conferences, and plan their missions for execution in specific deadlines,” Karlo elucidated with his tone being careful as we watched the door at the end of the hallway. “You will be frequent in visiting the headquarter
