Lahat ng Kabanata ng RECLAIMED BY THE RUTHLESS MAFIA: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

VERA A sharp pain greeted me as I opened my eyes, causing me to force it shut for a while. I felt a throbbing ache at the back of my head like I had been hit.What the hell happened? I tried to move my hands and legs but I couldn't. I opened my eyes again and saw that I had been tied up.I groaned, trying to free myself but I couldn't. The rope was tied tightly around my wrist and legs. I was tied to the chair.I was still confused, trying to remember that happened and then side, it hit me.Last night was crazy.I had tried to kill Luan.When I turned around and saw that Klevis had pulled the trigger, I closed my eyes, waiting for the bullet to hit me but it never did.I opened my eyes and realized the bullet actually missed me and hit the ground beside me.I couldn't tell if he missed on purpose or accidentally.I could hear Luan yelling at him for pulling that trigger but my mind was far away. Many thoughts rushed through my mind.What if the bullet had hit me?Would my father av

LUAN“Good morning Father,” she said, taking a bow before her father."What took you so long to come?" Remington snapped, his voice as sharp as a knife.Veronica flinched a little, her head still bowed.Anger surged through me as I thought.Does her father abuse her too?I clenched my jaws and replied,“I’m the reason she delayed. Last night was … eventful.”Remington's eyes met mine.“What do you mean?" He asked.Should I tell him?The thought of seeing his reaction pushed me.“Your daughter tried to kill me," I said nonchalantly.The air in the room felt thickened. His eyes widened and his jaws dropped. Then he turned to Veronica.“You did what, Nica? Have you lost your mind?” He barked.Veronica flinched.If looks could kill, Veronica would have been dead, judging from the way her father glared at her.Breaking the silence I said,“She stabbed me while I was asleep and luckily for me, I was able to stop the second strike. I just have one question to ask you…”Remington turned his

LUAN I was still at the home office, struggling with my feelings when the door was pushed open. Only one person had the guts to do that.Klevis.He stepped into the office and closed the door behind him. As he slowly approached me, I remembered what had happened earlier today.“You look like you're ready to kill someone,” he said."Why did you let him hit her?” I asked, not bothering to conceal the anger in my voice. A confused expression was etched on his face. He looked like he had no idea that I was talking about. “What are you talking about?" He confirmed my assumption. “You know exactly what I'm talking about,” I said.Suddenly, a look of realization spread on his face.“You're talking about the guard who hit Veronica this morning? Well, in my defense, I had no idea he was going to slap her. It just happened,” he said."And you let it go. You didn't do anything about it," I said, angrily.Silence.As I studied his face, something about the way his eyes shifted told me that he

LUANIt was barely past noon when I received a distress call from one of our warehouses.“Boss, there's trouble at warehouse seven. We need backup,” one of the boys said, breathless over the phone.I didn’t need to ask what kind of trouble it was. I was already used to this kind of situation. “Gather the men,” I said to Klevis. “Nobody touches our territory.”“Trust me, I won't let them,” he replied.As I tried to get up, he asked,“Where do you think you're going?”“I'm coming with you of course," I replied.“No, you're not. You're supposed to be resting," he said."Because of a tiny scratch? Of course not,” I replied, getting dressed.There was nothing he said that made me change my mind about going and eventually, he gave up.……..The warehouse district was already in chaos by the time we arrived. The air was thick with smoke, the ground vibrating with gunfire. My men were pinned behind crates, returning fire in bursts.I didn’t wait for an update. I pulled out my rifle and advan

VERA.I could feel something different in the atmosphere. Unlike the feeling of dictatorship or fear that usually hovered around me whenever I was with Luan, I felt like I was the one in charge now and Luan the helpless one. I sat there, right next to him with my eyes glued on his face as he spoke about the marks on his body. It was impossible for me not to see how uncomfortable he was speaking about it. He sounded helpless and sad. I never thought I would ever see him this way.“Uhm, these marks…” He uttered slowly. He lifted his right hand to show me one of it. I was shocked with how he acted, I didn't expect it. What changed now?“I got it trying to protect my family. Every single day that I see it I just remember how bad I want to get my revenge even after all these years. The pain is still fresh in my heart, I'm not even close to healing.”“When I was way younger, I was probably between 13-16, I was taken hostage alongside my sister and her friends by my family’s enemy. I wanted
