Semua Bab Dealing with the Ruthless Mafia: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Chapter 11 ALA is sitting comfortably on an oversized velvet sofa, facing an elderly man with silver hair tied neatly behind his head. Both of them are playing chess. The atmosphere in the area is intense and heavy. They were in the sunroom of a secluded and heavily guarded villa. Its windows overlook nothing but a forest, full of trees and fog. He was kidnapped but he never felt like he was. He was not treated like a prisoner nor was he harmed. In fact, they pampered him. The chessboard between them has grown intense, white queen was exposed, black nights circling. Ala was not frustrated with him being cornered, nearly losing the game, instead he studied the board and his opponents every move from the beginning. He pressed his lips together, eyes focused on the board, unblinking. He then made a bold move. He moved the rook forward, not to attack but to protect the queen. “Interesting,” the old man praised Ala, stroking his chin and smiling at the little boy. “Most players woul

13DAY ONE of sailing to nowhere with Alaister is quite calming but the worry kept resurfacing in her chest. She stared at the sea for a long time, feeling the breeze of the air hitting gently on her face. So calming. No land. No noise. No signal. Only the waves gently rocking the yacht as if cradling her into a temporary peace.The first day with Alaister was bearable. Quiet. Distant. It's obvious that he's giving her some space after that little talk. Alaister didn’t attempt to ask or pry. He’s been keeping his distance to her, she can tell. It was only them in the yacht. Alaister is the captain himself. No maids or any workers, just them. Hindi niya din tinanong kung saan sila papunta, all she knew is that they’re in the middle of the sea. Thinking about the situation, if Alaister is really being honest of him protecting her against his father, that would be a relief but if not and this was all just a trap, then she really is in danger. But everything is calculated and expected,

15“WHERE’S MY DAUGHTER, Leon? I told you to keep an eye to her.” May pag-aalalang mababakas sa boses ni Leonid. Elizabeth has been off grid for days. She was untraceable. The last place she was still on the grid was on her house, and it stopped there. “Sorry, sire. I lost track.” Tipid na sagot ni Leon, looking down.Leonid clicked his tongue. “Any updates on the General?”“He's been hunting and tracing Elizabeth down for days but didn’t succeed.” Leonid turned his swivel chair and faced Leon, one of his empire’s most treasured and skilled people. He grew up in the empire, his parents got killed also by someone in the government. Leonid trained him and equipped him with all he knew. Looking at the man in front of him, it seems like he’s looking at a man with a lot of secrecy. He watched him grow pero parang ibang tao na ang kaharap niya ngayon. He can feel Leon is hiding something.“You’re like a son to me, Leon. Don’t ever disappoint me.” Makahulugang sabi niya dito. Leon didn’

17 : RitesNAGISING si Elizabeth sa pamilyar na amoy at silid. The room was silent, too clean, and too still. That feeling alone is enough for her to say where she is.The scent of lavender lingering through the air. The golden silk sheets she was lying on. A thick and golden embroidered blanket draped over her like a royalty. Nagsalubong ang magkabilang kilay niya. Everything in this room shouts wealth and royalty. The ceiling above her was tall, painted with a dark sigil that she had not seen in years.That symbol… a golden circle with black serpent coiled around a crown, fangs bared. The symbol of their empire. Mahina siyang napamura sa kanyang isipan. Mabilis siyang bumangon mula sa pagkakahiga. Her muscles were still sore but she stood up. Inilibot niya ang paningin sa kabuuan ng silid. She really is in their Empire. The place she never wishes to see again.Hinawi niya ang kulay maroon na kurtina at tumambad sa kanya ang malaking bintana. Kitang-kita nito ang ibaba. The village

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
