All Chapters of Hail the Mafia Queen: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

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

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’

I busied myself the whole day reading the manuals of my parents’ company in the living area. Karlo gave them to me before he left with Timothy. I asked Melanie to just prepare me snacks while I studied.Furniture business.Malls.Hotels.Haciendas.Real Estate.I am already aware of how wealthy we are in life. My parents raised me spoiled and gave me everything I wanted. But man, to be aware of the details of how we are rich makes me overwhelmed now that I have all of the manuals plastered on the marble table. One, two, three… twenty manuals. Twenty successful, big businesses… built by the lineage of my parents’ families.And what, I am supposed to handle all of these businesses? Of course, they have their investors, shareholders, and board of directors… but to initiate huge projects and approve establishments on my own makes me throw up.CEO all of this?!I don’t know if I am blessed or cursed. Or both?I already finished sixteen manuals when it was two pm. I took a break and did som

Just like what I said to Karlo last night, I trained in our backyard. I didn’t mind if the maids were running around the mansion, and they could see me through the windows as they cleaned inside. There was a huge tree in the backyard, which was why I had shade while I was training. “Stupid face!” I exclaimed in frustration as I kicked the air. “I bet you were getting ahead of yourself last night, huh?!”I feel better whenever I kick the air because I am imagining Karlo’s face. I deleted the video when I came back to my room, refusing to save it after he saw it!“Miss Minerva? Would you like to take a break?”My head went in the direction of the porch where that innocent and lively voice came from. I found Melanie holding a small tray with a glass of orange juice on it. She was smiling with enthusiasm as she watched me chasing breath like an exhausted dog. I nodded and began to approach where she was. The orange juice seemed so cold and refreshing, so I couldn’t help but sprint and

Glaidel left the mansion when Karlo and Timothy dismissed her, so she could return to the headquarters or to the personal life I know nothing about. According to Karlo, she also has a worldly job aside from being an assassin. I just don’t care that much, so I didn’t ask further.“Timothy and I will just talk in the drawing area. Stay in your room-“I cut Karlo off with a poker face. “I want to go shopping,” I muttered.He didn’t react and just stared at me.“You said that you would escort me yourself, right? That was your reminder at the airport,” I said and placed my hands on my hips. “So I will just change my clothes, add makeup, and fix my hair.”His eyes went down to see Timothy manipulating his phone. Currently, we are on the second floor, just near the staircase. We just got out of his study when we tailed Glaidel before she was gone. Karlo stepped forward so he could be near my face. I was taken aback by what he did, so I stepped backward once, but didn’t show on my face that I
