Avila's POV
Huminga ako ng malalim habang niyayakap ang braso habang nakadungaw sa bintana ng sasakyan kung saan makikita na ang Vainglory Mansion.
The mansion I build when I became the Sin of Pride. All of the transaction regarding the underworld, I always brought it here.
For 3 years this has been used by my father and I'm coming back here now to use it again.
My naming day will took here and also the meeting that's going to happen today.
"I'm still uneasy because my men isn't in your mansion to protect there." Sabay tingin ko kay Caesar na nasa tabi ko.
"I'm also surprise that you let Penelope do what she wants." Sabay ngisi niya na parang hinahamon ako.
I groaned before I rolled my eyes.
He's right. I let Penelope decide what she wants for now. I already opened the topic about her people and how incompetent they are. She was angry about it.
Penelope still has her pride. She doesn't want me to lead. She made it clear to me that she wants to lead and to take revenge.
She lashed out before and I don't have time to fight her. There's still more important things I need to do than having a cat fight with her.
Sa kotse na ito ay kasama ko si Caesar, isang driver at isang bodyguard na nasa front seat.
Sa kabilang kotse ay nandoon si Michael at Penelope. Sa ikatlo naman ay si Philip at Lilith.
"Your mansion is way bigger than mine." Sabi ni Caesar.
My mansion might be bigger but Caesar's premises is beyond that. He build 10 mansions and still have a space for garden, forest, pools and greenhouse.
Tumigil ang sasakyan sa harap ng malaking pintuan ng mansion. Gaya ng kay Caesar ay may hagdan rin ito pataas papunta sa pintuan.
May malaking poste ng semente ang pintuan sa magkabilang gilid.
Lumabas na kami ng sasakyan at di ko mapigilang mamangha sa nakikita ko.
The mansion I built before is still standing strong.
Huminga ako ng malalim at naramdaman ang kamay ni Caesar sa kamay ko. Napatingin ako sa kanya. Nakatingin lamang siya sa mansion na para bang hinuhusgahan ito.
"Let's go in." Sabi ko sa kanya.
Naunang maglakad sa amin ang body guard paakyat habang ako ay napapatingin parin sa paligid.
May mga fountain sa gilid ng hagdan. May malalaking bintana rin sa tabi ng malaking pinto para makita kung ano ang nasa labas.
Nang makapasok kami ay agad na bumati sa amin ang mga kasambahay at yumukod pa sila. Sa pagpasok pa lang ay may malaking espasyo na ng bahay ang bubungad sa iyo at tanging paintings lamang ang mapagkakaabalahan rito. Walang upuan ngunit may isang counter sa gilid ng double doors ang nakalagay.
This is supposed to be the lobby where my men can chat and the same time guard the mansion. This is also where my guest waits before they could enter the house fully.
Naglakad ako tungo sa double doors sa tabi ng counter. Binuksan iyon ng mga kasambahay bago pa kami makalapit at sa pagbukas ay sasalubong ang hallway may yellow dim light, yellow na pader at pulang carpet.
"You like guns." Sabi ni Caesar habang tinatahak namin ang hallway.
He said that because instead of painting. Guns are been displayed on the wall of the hall.
