The Portrait Of A Lady

Five years ago, I was rejected and humiliated in front of countless eyes by Hugo Maximiliano Cassilas. After that, his fans treated me cruelly because of my geeky appearance. To them, I was shameless and completely out of place. But none of that justifies the bullying that left me emotionally scarred and forced me into years of therapy. Now, I’ve returned—transformed, and ready for revenge. Every humiliation I endured, I will repay. And Hugo Maximiliano is the prime target of my most ruthless reckoning. But fate has a twisted sense of humor—my thirst for revenge has trapped me in a marriage… with Hugo himself. Can I carry out my revenge while bound by marriage? Or will I end up falling for Hugo all over again?

The streets were his home, a cardboard box was the only roof he had over his head, an old jacket he found in the trash was his only blanket and for his meals. He stole and made sure that he was the first to get to one of the restaurants' trash every night to make sure that he had something to eat. His life changed when he stole from a mafia boss, whom everyone was scared of, he was known for being ruthless and killed without mercy especially those who betrayed and stole from him. He was a Russian man with a thick accent and a very powerful aura, that made many shivers at his presence without him having said a word. But when he met him, he gave him a job instead of killing him like everyone thought he would, his job was to be his right-hand man. He was the one who did all the killings and dealing with his rivals. He gave him the name White tiger, one that was born once in every generation, he gave him this name because he said that he had the courage, was smart and cunning. The man was very handsome, tall with broad shoulders and he looked very big for his age. His eyes though were distant, cold, and deadly. One could not look at them longer than a second. His name was Antonio Rodrigues, The White Tiger.

"Alphas, are you sure that you are willing to take this risk? It could easily backfire and she could die" Marique said. I just stared at Mariette, I knew right then that we needed to make a decision, not only for the better of this pack and for the better of her. I knew that this decision wasn't going to be one that we could take lightly. I knew that this decision would ultimately shape the future. I looked up and I saw Aris stare at me. I could see the worry on his face, but I knew this look as well ... he was looking at me with eyes, wanting approval. I just sighed and moved off to the side, nodding at him. I constantly tried to keep my eyes on Mariette and Aris. I couldn't let anything happen to her. I can't afford to loose her, not now, not when we had finally found her. Marique inserted the needle into Aris's vein and allowed his blood to flow into a small tube. She connected the tube to Mariette and I knew there was nothing we could do now, but wait.

“Bakit sumunod kayo rito?" tanong n'ya sa mga kaibigan n'ya. “Nandito ang bagong misyon natin kaya pinapunta kami ni Boss dito." sagot ni Via sa kan'ya. "Sino?" tanong ko kay Via. “Ang pamilya Lazardo." sagot naman ni Fritzie. “The hell! Ang pamilya ni Franz,?" gulat kong tanong sa kanila. “Kilala mo ang mga Lazardo?" tanong naman ni Mau. “Guys, naalala ninyo iyong lalake na nakabangga ko sa Hongkong?" tanong ko sa kanila. “Anong kinalaman ng lalake na 'yon sa misyon natin?" tanong ulit ni Mau. “Puta naman oh! Ano question and answer portion ba ito ha Pia?" naiinip na tanong ni Cassy. “Ang nakabangga ko sa Hongkong na lalake at ang tinutukoy ninyo na pamilya Lazardo ay related sa isa't-isa. Siya lang naman ang panganay na anak nina tita Victoria at tito Mauro." mahabang paliwanag ko sa kanila. “So iyong lalake na tinutukoy mo ang mas dilikado ang buhay dahil s'ya ang tagapagmana ng isang Mafia Boss." sabat ni Via sa usapan. “What the hell!? Ibig sabihin si tito Mauro ay isang Mafia Boss! Kaya pala no'ng kaarawan ni tita Vicky ay may nagtangka sa buhay nila, mabuti nalang at matalas ang pakiramdam ko kaya nakita ko 'agad ang tatlong lalake na balak sanang maglagay ng lason sa mga baso ng mga Lazardo," mahaba kong paliwanag sa kanila. “Pero ang pinaka punterya nila ay iyong lalake dahil s'ya ang tagapagmana sa lahat kaya mas dilikado ang buhay n'ya." saad ni Mau. “Kaya lumapit ang mag-asawa kay Boss upang humingi ng tulong para maproteksyonan ang mga anak nila." sabi naman ni Via. "At nabalitaan namin na may mga ibang grupo na ang 'andito sa probinsya kaya kami napasugod 'agad." dagdag pa ni Via. Paano pagnalaman ni Franz na ang babaeng nasa likod ng maskara at ang babaeng pinakamamahal n'ya ay iisa?
