Something isn't right

I know it's wrong to doubt Octavia after everything she did for me pero may mali talaga

Kreios was watching the TV and I didn't know how he became a bodyguard at a young age. He said that he was only 15 and damn, for his age, he sure is tall. Sa unang pagkikita namin, he looks like a 20 year old man but hell, 15?!?! Nahiya naman ang height at age ko

"Kreios" tawag ko rito kaya napalingon siya sa akin. He's mouth is full of pizza at mas bagay sa kanya ang maging normal na teenager kaysa maging bodyguard. I always wanted a little brother pero that dream was stripped off ng mamatay ito when I was a year old

"Yes, Miss?" 

I bit my lower lip as I fiddled with my fingers "Iba kasi yung kutob ko kay Octavia ngayon eh. I know she's lying to me" sabi ko. Napaubo naman ito na mas lalong ipinagtaka ko "A-Ahh... Hindi po! Kilalang kilala ko po si Trojan, di yon magsisinungaling sa inyo noh!" he then laughed nervously

I sighed "Kreios, dali na. Ano ba kasing meron kay Octavia?" 

"Wala nga po!"

"Kreios, isa"

"E-Eh kasi..."

"Dalawa. Huwag mong hintaying magtatlo to, lagot ka sakin"

It was his turn to sigh "Miss... Wag niyo pong sasabihin na sakin to nanggaling ah? Si Trojan po kasi... She runs a mafia po... at ako po, isa po sa mga reapers niya" 

Si Octavia? Isang mafia boss?

I started to laugh. Ano ba sa tingin nito, mauuto ako? He frowned "Totoo nga po ang sinasabi ko!" he retorted with a pout. I still haven't stopped laughing as he rolled his eyes at inilabas ang baril niya

T-Teka...

B-Baril?!

I almost jumped ng makita ko ang baril. Bakit may dalang baril to?! "F-Fuck, bakit may baril ka, Kreios?!" sigaw ko as he smiled sheepishly "Sinabi ko na po sa inyo, reaper nga po ako. I'm one of the best assassins in the mafia that Miss Octavia runs" Kreios replied to me

How the fuck did Octavia even run a stupid mafia?!

I suddenly remembered how she fooled the crowd using the Olivia Valmont and at an early age, siya ang pinakamayamang tao sa buong mundo. Stupid me. This information is too much for me to handle that I felt almost passing out "H-How...?! Papanong si Octavia-" nauutal kong sambit

"The Syndicate is known to do the evil deeds like murder lalo na sa mga kaaway ng mga underground organizations and tonight, the Russian Mafia's boss wants someone to die. Gusto niya po si Miss Valmont ang gumawa" Kreios explained na ikinalaki ng mata ko. Murder?! 

There were a lot of questions in my mind pero kailangan kong pigilan si Octavia or better yet, remove her from the crime scene. I know it is bad pero alam ko na ngayon kung bakit ako pinagkanulo ng ama ko sa mga Valmont. However, Octavia made me live comfortably in our 2 weeks as a couple

This time, siya naman ang ililigtas ko

I pulled myself together as I gained my senses again "Saan siya papunta? Sinong papatayin niya? I need answers Kreios para hindi mapahamak si Octavia, dali!"

He paused for a moment "Elysium Rise Tower, Ma'am, doon po siya papunta. And please, try to condone her decisions. It's her head on the line" pagpapaalala ni Kreios. I closed my eyes, bwiset, hindi ko siya pwedeng guluhin o ikamamatay niya iyon

"Drive me there, Kreios" sambit ko at nagsimula nang maglakad. When he knew na hindi na niya ko mapipigilan, he stood up and followed me. We exited the premises of Athena Palace at nagdrive sa pinuntahan ni Octavia

We got there as we saw cops, ambulances, and firefighters. The top part of the building was on fire na ikinatakot ko. Is this how Octavia really work?

I looked at Kreios as he shrugged "This is not how Miss do it. Something's wrong" bulong ni Kreios sa akin na ikinakaba ko. We slipped pass the cops at umikot sa building to enter inside the parking that was empty. We saw Octavia, holding her side and I could see a red stain forming that's when reality hit me

She's bleeding

Nanlaki naman ang mata niya ng makita niya ako at tinignan niya si Kreios "Bakit mo siya dinala dito, Kreios?!" galit na sabi ni Octavia as she hissed in pain, holding her side even more. I rushed to her side "W-Why did you bring her here..." nanghihinang sabi nito. I could see that she used most of her power

"Let's talk later dahil kailangan kitang dalhin sa ospital-"

"No... Don't. Mas maghihinala ang mga pulis sakin. Kreios, you know where to bring me" she hissed again kaya hinawakan ko siya

"Kreios, bring us out of here" sabi ko kaya naman agad agad kaming umalis ng building. We slipped pass the cops at sumakay sa kotse

Octavia rested her head against my neck and moaned in pain as I held her close

"Anong nangyari ba?" I softly asked. I don't want to be harsh, after all, she's already bleeding

"The bastard already saw me when I was planning to snipe him... So I tried physically assassinating him... He caused a fire... I tried to kill him but he stabbed me..." Octavia chuckled weakly "Napatay ko rin naman siya"

I sighed and held her close before we pulled up on a large mansion. Sa labas, may mga yayamaning kotse katulad ng Lambourghini, Ferrari at iba pa. I saw a group of teens gathering outside

We entered the premises at nagulat ako ng tinulungan kami ng mga taong nakita ko kanina

"It went wrong?" tanong ng isang babae na itim na itim ang buhok ngunit may red highlights. Kreios nodded "Trojan never makes a mess"

Nanlaki naman ang mata nila as they bowed to me "Mrs. Valmont, it's an honor to see you here" sambit nila. Ang mga kalalakihan kasama si Kreios ay pinasok na sa loob si Octavia at naiwan naman sa akin ang mga babae

Some of their ages differ basing on their appearance. Some of them are younger than me and some of them are older

However, si Octavia ang nasa isip ko ngayon
