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 disc

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Forty-Three: Breakfast

    I found myself slapping my forehead when I woke up first thing in the morning. The kisses we had last night were the reason I also had trouble sleeping!“How could I even give in?!” I murmured and slapped my forehead hard unconsciously, making me groan in pain. “I know I like him, but do I have to be that obvious?!”That kiss… long, passionate kiss…“Aahhhh!” I screamed at the top of my lungs and started throwing all of my pillows across the room. “I’m so stupid!”“Madame? Are you alright?”I stopped throwing a tantrum when I heard a maid’s voice outside the room. My eyes closed tightly, frustrated even more. Clearing my throat, I answered.“Yes, uhhhh, I’m just rehearsing a drama that I… played back when I was in college!” I reasoned out. “You… you can go back to cleaning now!”“Okay, madame! Just please tell me later if you need anything!”I suddenly remembered asking, “Did Karlo go somewhere?”“I saw Sir Karlo in his business suit just a while ago, madame, and then went downstairs.

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Forty-Three: Curses and Kisses

    It was so nice to go home finally. The vast, white and black cream colored mansion filled my vision as our car went through the huge gates. The green Bermuda stretched in the front yard with the meticulously cut flower garden, where a gardener was trimming unwanted leaves from the small trees. I had to open the window to feel the fresh air and see the fountain at the center of the garden.“You like it?” I heard Karlo ask me.“Yeah,” I answered and smiled. “We’re home…”It’s been a year. Just a year, but it felt like I had gone through so much. How many more things and events will I encounter in my own home?The car stopped in front of the entrance doors. Several familiar maids approached us and started unloading our luggage from the back trunk. Karlo guided me to go outside the car, while Timothy helped the maids. Together, we tipped the driver who helped unload our luggage.“You must be tired. Just go to your room,” Karlo advised.“Okay,” I simply answered and turned my back.I don’

  • Hail the Mafia Queen   Chapter Forty-Two: To Be Back Home

    The familiar scent of Manila City filled my nose as we got to the exit of the airport. I looked around and saw a lot of busy people striding inside the premises, meeting their waiting loved ones, and loading baggage into the parading cars. Karlo and Timothy were the only individuals who were watching our family driver load our baggage. Karlo was trying to help, but he was talking on the phone, while Timothy was whistling and kicking invisible rocks. Shitheads.“I’m hungry,” I announced and crossed my arms. “I want to eat in a restaurant before we go home.”They all looked at me in confusion, but Karlo was the one who got alerted first and gradually hung up his phone. He nodded.“Okay. Then let’s finish this up.”“Yeah, I’m also hungry now; I could eat a whole cow!” Timothy exclaimed as he dramatically stretched his arms. “I think I’m going to have jet lag.”My cousin was the first one to get inside the car. Karlo attended to me and casually placed his hand on my waist, guiding me to g

    I finished my MBA in the remaining months. We just celebrated for a day and then decided to book our flights back to the Philippines. Timothy stayed with us in the house for those months. He also trained me in some combat skills, while Karlo was the one in charge of shooting with guns.“I still can’t believe that we are all going home!” Timothy exclaimed from behind us. “You know what, Minerva, I can’t wait for you to train in the Red Cartel headquarters where you will meet the assassins your parents nurtured for decades!”“Timothy, you shouldn’t say that in public,” I said and turned my head over my shoulder. “You don’t know who is listening!”“Keep your voice down,” Karlo shushed, and even looked at me. “Rest well.”I felt my cheeks heating up because of the concern that seethed through his eyes. I cleared my throat before looking away. Stay strong, Minerva. He shouldn’t see that you are in love with him. Keep a straight face and pretend that everything is fine—-Before I could even

    I snapped out and instantly narrowed my gaze at him. I stood up while crossing my arms, facing the handsome bodyguard.“I don’t want to. I will go home. I am sure that they are just going to make me meet a man I don’t even know, so I could marry him!” I exclaimed and hovered my gaze from his head to foot. “But why am I even explaining myself to a bodyguard like you?”“Bodyguard?” he echoed with confusion across his face.“Yes, bodyguard,” I responded.He tilted his head. “Do you have any problem meeting your future husband?” he asked.“The only husband I can accept in my life is my boyfriend,” I said.“You are not even interested in meeting your parents, who wanted you to marry, huh?”“For what? I don’t even know that man! I bet he is an ugly asshole who has the worst body built and is very stupid!He blinked. After that, he barked out a handsome laugh that made me breathless. I gulped and shook my head at myself. What, Minerva? Why are you even overwhelmed by this man? He is nothing

    Clearing my throat, I raised the towel to Karlo’s face and began wiping his sweat away. I am better masking my anxiety by making my expression straight and stoic. I don’t want him to see that I am nervous as hell just by touching his body, but the shaking of my hand was evident, betraying every ounce of my dignity. Still, I continued.“Wow,” I heard Timothy comment again, just like he always does. “You’re making fun of my marital status again…”“Who told you, anyway, not to get a girlfriend? You have the free will to do so,” Karlo replied to him without breaking his eye contact with me.Timothy scoffed. “As if I would find a perfect lady like my cousin. You are very lucky to marry the princess of the family, Karlo.”I cringed at what my cousin said, so I pouted and glared at him. I was surprised when Karlo chuckled. I looked up to him again.“I definitely know how lucky I am,” Karlo agreed.“Boo! So corny! Do you have juice inside your ref? I’m so thirsty,” Timothy complained before w

    “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 Tim

    The drive to the school was in complete silence. Karlo didn’t even dare to look at me, and I did the same. It is too awkward just remembering the conversation we had last night. I wanted to ask if he is even okay to drive me to the university since I am thinking that he might have a hangover.I sig

    The maids have already brought the tray with food and water the moment Karlo went outside to leave me alone. I remained staring at the ceiling, trying to fight the headache caused by what Karlo said to me a while ago.The Red Cartel. The government. The enemies and criminals of my parents…Everythi
