All Chapters of Mafia Secret Heiress: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Even before I stepped into the hideout, I’d never been an ordinary girl. My instincts were sharp, my reflexes precise, my mind always calculating. I moved like I already knew what danger looked like, even before seeing its face. But Cyruz… he knew that potential alone could be lethal if it wasn’t controlled. Training with him wasn’t about teaching me how to survive. It was about forging me—sharpening instinct into precision, controlling every muscle, every breath, every flicker of my heartbeat. One wrong move, one lapse in judgment, and I could die… or worse, fail when everything mattered. Mornings were merciless. Agility drills. Precision exercises. Reflex simulations. My body never stumbled. Never faltered. My mind predicted moves before they even happened. Even gun handling and knife drills felt like old memories—familiar terrain I had walked long before. Bullets were whispers in the air I could almost catch. I’ve done this before, I reminded myself as I moved, every step a silen

Panibagong araw. Panibagong hamon. Tumingin ako sa ibabaw ng mesa. Maayos na nakalatag ang mga hard copies—makakapal na file folders, bawat isa may pangalan, litrato, at mga impormasyong parang may sariling bigat. Hindi ko alam kung sino-sino ang mga ito, at sa totoo lang, wala rin akong balak alamin… pero mukhang wala akong pagpipilian. “Basahin mo sila. Kilalanin mo. Sa mundong ito, hindi sapat na marunong kang bumaril. Kailangan marunong kang bumasa ng tao,” sabi ni Cyruz, nakatingin sa akin, may halong seryoso at… lungkot. Huminga ako ng malalim at hinawakan ang unang folder. --- ‘X’ — The Founder Sa Council, siya ang simula at ang wakas. Bumuo siya ng LaSombra mula sa alabok at dugo, at bawat fortune na naipundar niya ay hindi para sa kapangyarihan lang—para sa kontrol. Hotels. Resorts. Malls. Bawat isa may nakatagong madilim na kwarto sa ilalim. Real Name: Unknown Aliases: X, The Architect, The Ghost King Edad: Mid-50s Position: Founder at Supreme Head ng LaSombra Fron

I watched her sleep. Kazmiyah, sprawled under the soft glow of the bedside lamp, her chest rising and falling in even rhythm, skin still warmed by my touch. For the first time in a long while, I felt peace. A fleeting peace, one I knew wouldn’t last. I smiled slightly. No hesitation, no resistance. She wanted me. Not drunk, not caught up in a moment—she wanted me. And that truth sank deep into my chest, heavy, intoxicating. Finally, I thought. I’m inside her world… maybe even her heart. But even as I lingered there, a sharp ache gnawed at the edges of my mind. That lingering question—does she still love the man from her past? Not now. Not the time for jealousy. Right now, there’s only one thing I need to protect: her life. I studied her face quietly. Every breath she took whispered trust, a soft surrender. And yet, in this world, trust is a danger. From the veranda, I surveyed the mansion. The rain fell steady, cold fingers grazing the skin beneath my jacket. Below, my men were

Simula nung matapos ‘yung event, naging parang tambayan na ng La Sombra ang bahay ni Cyruz na parang extension ng hideout nila, pero mas chill, mas tahimik, at mas normal. Lagi silang nandito. sina Allain, Blue, Hera, Vienna, Chad, at Shawn ay nagtatawanan, nagkukulitan, o minsan sabay-sabay lang nagbabantay habang nagkakape o nagluluto ng kung anu-ano. Minsan, habang nakaupo lang si Kazmiyah sa veranda, napapaisip siya kung kailan nga ba huling naging ganito si Cyruz. Kung kailan huli niya itong nakitang tunay na ngumiti. “You know what, I’ve never seen Cyruz smile like this. Madalas masungit ‘yan,” komento ni Vienna, habang pinupunasan ang kamay niyang may mantika ng inihaw. Napatingin si Kazmiyah sa direksyong binanggit. Si Cyruz, nakasando lang at naka-apron habang nag-iihaw. Pawis na pawis pero kalmado. “Yeah, I can see the changes in him,” sang-ayon ni Hera. “It’s normal to smile like that, especially if you’re with someone you love,” dagdag ni Shawn. “That’s not yo

“Are we sure about this? Is this safe for her? Could it harm her?” Blue asked, his tone laced with concern. “The doctor says it’s safe. Besides, this is a tradition. Lahat ng kasapi ng LaSombra dumadaan sa ganito, even our agents,” Hera said confidently. “Pero what if matakot siya?” tanong ni Cyruz, halatang nag-aalala. “She’s not someone who gets afraid so easily,” sagot ni Laica, na bestfriend ni Kazmiyah. “Are you sure about that?” tanong ni Chad, isang kilay ang nakataas. “Wag na kaya natin ituloy,” alanganing saad ni Allain. “Let’s do that,” sang-ayon ni Cyruz, tila nagdadalawang-isip. “Ituloy na natin. Kazmiyah will like this. it’s something unique, and she’ll be challenged,” sabi ni Laica, may kumpiyansa sa tinig. Sa huli, napagdesisyunan nilang ituloy. Lahat sila ay alerto—kapag may masamang nangyari, agad nilang ihihinto ang plano at lilipat sa Plan B. --- The hideout was alive with controlled chaos. Shadows twisted along the walls, lights flickering unpr
