Wife Of A Ruthless Mafia Boss (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 49

Valjerome got his gun and attached the silencer. Sandali niya pa akong tiningnan at tipid na nginitian bago siya lumiban patungo sa harapan ng sasakyan.

"Drive normal," he commanded Jaime. "Don't let them know that we are aware of their presence," he continued, coldness dripping in his voice.

Kinakain man ng kaba ay pinilit kong kumalma. I moved closer to my son and embraced him tightly. Like what he said to his father, he never dared to open his eyes nor removed the headphones on his ears.

"Maneuver your wheels between us. Cover our car so Jaime could mislead them. Stall some time, at the next alley, we will attack," Valjerome stated on his phone, talking to his men.

Hindi naman nagtagal ay napansin ko ang pagsingit ng dalawang itim na kotse sa pagitan namin. Like what Valjerome commanded, they blocked us from the enemies' sight.

"Take me down to the next corner. Iuwi mo nang ligtas ang mag-ina ko," Valjerome uttered with an authoritative voice.

"What?!" agad kong pagsingit. "Nahihibang ka ba?" patuloy ko.

Nilingon niya naman ako at namumungay na tumitig sa akin. Wala pa man ay tila pinararating na niya na intindihin ko ang kanyang desisyon.

"Mas makabubuti kung nasa mansyon kayo. Ligtas kayo roon," aniya.

"Alam ko iyon, Valjerome, pero hindi ibig sabihin niyon ay hahayaan kitang magpaiwan dito!" giit ko.

"I can handle, Jazzie. I am not a mafia boss for nothing," pangangatwiran niya.

I gritted my teeth. "Iyon na nga, Valjerome. Mafia boss ka lang, 'di ka si Superman. Tao ka na kapag nabaril, mamamatay!" I yelled nervously.

His lips curled up. Mas lalo tuloy akong nainis dahil nasa ganito na nga kaming sitwasyon ay nagagawa niya pang ngumiti. Mahina siyang tumikhim, nagkukunwaring seryoso kahit pa kitang-kita sa kanyang mukha ang sinusupil niyang ngiti. Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin dahilan para matigil siya sa ginagawa niyang kalokohan.

"Damn," he cursed hoarsely. "What do you want me to do then?" he asked, defeated.

Hindi naman ako nakasagot. 'Yeah, what should we do now, Jazzie?'

"We only have 25seconds before we reach the next alley, give me the command, Jazzie." He looked at me sternly.

I bit my lip and lowered my gaze. "Just..." I trailed off and hugged my son. Slowly, I lifted my head and met his eyes. "Let us stay where you are. Let me... be with you."

I meant it. After knowing what he'd gone through all those years that he protected me from his enemy, I don't think I could bear to leave him alone this time. Not because of my unnamed feelings, but because... I am scared.

Paano kung... 'di ko na siya makita?

I knew, we didn't have a good marriage. Pero kahit gano'n, alam kong totoo ang naging pagkakaibigan namin noon.

Valjerome's eyes softened. It was as if my words were pleasing to hear. He gave me a small smile before looking back at Jaime.

"Hide the car when I get down. If things don't go well, take my family to the mansion as soon as possible," he stated coldly, back to his mafia self.

Jaime nodded like an obedient child. I didn't object anymore. Mas okay na ang plano niya ngayon kaysa kanina. May kaunti mang pag-aalangan ay hindi na ako nagpumilit pa dahil alam kong kaligtasan lang din namin ang iniisip niya.

Tanaw ko na ang kantong tinutukoy niya sa kanyang mga tauhan, pansin ko rin ang mas paggitgit ng mga kotse sa likod namin para lang maharangan kami. My heartbeat doubled when Valjerome gripped the door handle, waiting for the right time to get off.
