Meeting The Devil's Son

Chapter 23

Bella's POV

~Ring-Ring~

"Hello tita, naistorbo ko po ba kayo?" I asked her.

She works for me now ever since the day that Cassandra and Ruix teamed up to kill her, and of course, Swarsen helped them, that was last year. I helped her hide after being in a coma for almost half a year. The twins doesn't know anything about this, we're keeping it a secret, because everything that'll happen soon is going to be a blast.

["No dear. What can i help you?"] She asked in a sleepy tone. Obviously, i just disturbed Tita's sleep. Pfft, my cousin's will probably kill me if they knew anything about making their mother work for me.

"Send some of my men to guard the whole Draella Condo Hotel please. For Joaquin's safety." I said. I heard her chuckled so i let out a sigh. They are all teasing me about Joaquin because of how protective i am when it comes to him but i am just doing my job. Sort of.

["Consider it done mei, for your Joaquin."] She said before chuckling. Seriously.

[Translation: Niece (Mei)]

"Obasan arigatō, and no malice tita, just work." I said making her laugh even more.

[Translation: Thank you Auntie]

["Alright alright. Please watch my babies anak, i really miss them. I'll see them soon right?"] She asked. I smiled.

"Yes tita, pretty much sooner than expected. I gotta go po. Talk to you soon." I said before ending the line.

Nang makarating ako sa baba ay agad akong sinalubong ng sasakyan nila Jester.

Agad naman akong pumasok at sumakay sa passenger seat at nang lingunin ko ang naririnig kong ngumunguya ay nakita ko sa likod sina Raven at si Yuan na nakangisi.

"Bossing, kamusta ang tulog natin sa apartment ni loverboy?" Tanong ni Yuan kaya agad akong natawa.

"Mukha ba akong nakatulog?" Sarkastikong tanong ko bago s'ya sinamaan ng tingin. Natahimik naman s'ya dahilan para matawa sina Raven at Jester.

"Boss, may baril d'yan sa harap--"

"Hindi ko kailangan ng baril. Kung ayaw n'yang sumama ng matiwasay ay gagawin ko ang ginawa n'ya sa'min, gamit ang sarili kong mga kamay."

"Oof, alam ba ni loverboy na umalis kayo boss?" Tanong ni Raven.

"Para mo na din akong tinanong kung gusto ko na bang mamatay, bobo." Sabi ko bago kinuha ang sigarilyo sa harap. Ipinatong ko ang paa ko sa unahan ko at tsaka sumandal.

Hindi ko alam kung pa'nong sisimulan kausap si Joaquin, kung pa'no ko ipapaliwanag lahat kasi alam kong hindi n'ya ako maiintindihan. Alam kong iniidolo n'ya 'yong tatay n'yang gago kaya malamang sa malamang ay hindi n'ya din ako paniwalaan, pwede pang isuplong n'ya ako 'don kapag nag kataon at malagay sa panganib ang buhay ko ay buhay ng malalapit sa'kin kapag nag kagipitan kaya hindi ko talaga alam kung anong unang hakbang ang gagawin ko. Lintik!

"Bossing bakit ang laki ata ng suot mo?" Tanong ni Jester kaya napatingin ako sakan'ya.

"Don't ask."

"Eh, 'yung mga tama mo boss? Kumusta na?" Tanong n'ya pa ulit kaya bumuga muna ako ng usok bago sumagot.

"S'ya ang nag gamot." Sagot ko na ikinagulat nila.

"Oh? Ano sinabi boss?"

"Wala."
