When It All Ends (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15

#WIAE Chapter 15

I held my breath. This was happening all too fast. I had tried to stop this but every time I would remember Laurie's face, I couldn't help but feel remorse against her Uncle. How could he do that to his own blood? He killed an entire family! For what? For power? That's just freaking insane! Money isn't everything. Bakit ba masyadong pinapahalagahan iyon ng mga tao?

"Yes, Miss Belinda. Consider it done. Expect the plan carried out within the next 24 hours," Sandra said.

Closing my eyes, I heaved out a heavy sigh. Was I really doing this? Or was I just blinded by my rage? But someone like him didn't deserve to live... But who was I to decide who gets to live? Was I playing God? Kagaya ng ginawa ni Night nung pinatay niya iyong mga babae?

I was about to withdraw my order when the phone was taken from my hand. Napalingon ako at nakita ko si Lorenzo.

"What are you doing here?" tanong niya sa akin.

"I was talking to someone," I replied and tried to take the phone from him. "May kausap ako."

"You're not allowed here," he pointed out.

"Well, talk to Night about that. He's the one who helped me get inside," sagot ko sa kanya.

"Night?"

I nodded. Akmang aagawin ko sana ulit iyong phone mula sa kamay niya pero ayaw niya talagang ibigay sa akin.

"Sino ba'ng kausap mo?" he said. He tried to listen to the other end of the line, but I was quick to get the phone from him. I didn't know how I was able to do it. He's much taller than me, much stronger than me. Maybe because I was really worried for a second. Baka malaman niya na galing talaga ako sa Mafia Estrella. And he shouldn't know about it. Kailangan mas mauna kong masabi kay Avo, bago pa man kanino. I owed him that, at the very least.

I ended the call, and then delete the details from the log.

"You know, for someone who claims to hate people, you're too nosy," I told him.

"You know, for someone who's not allowed to be here, you're too arrogant," he replied.

I didn't want to give away my real identity, so I remained as impassive as I could. But Lorenzo's smart... he might figure it out on his own. But that's his problem.

"As I have mentioned earlier, if you have a problem with me being here, kausapin mo si Night," I reiterated.

Akala ko ay may sasabihin pa siya pero kibit-balikat lang ang nakuha ko mula sa kanya. He tossed the phone, inilagay iyong kamay sa loob ng bulsa niya, at saka nagsimulang maglakad palabas. He's really... ineffable. I had no words.

Mabilis ko siyang sinundan palabas dahil baka maligaw ako dito sa loob. At isa pa, hindi ko alam kung paano lumabas... if I had to write another phrase, or what. At palagay ko, kung maiwan man ako rito sa loob, hindi ako pag-aaksayahan ng oras na balikan ni Lorenzo o ni Night. O baka balikan nila ako kapag hinanap na ako ni Avo.

"Why were you there?" I asked Lorenzo. As usual, hindi siya sumagot. "Bukod sa phone, ano pa ang nandun?"

He kept on walking, while I kept on throwing him questions. Based on probability, more questions mean higher chances of getting answered. Ang dami ko kasing gustong malaman, pero walang sumasagot. I wanted to ask Avo but at the same time, I didn't want to ask him. I didn't want him getting curious as to why I was curious. He was already facing lots of problems outside, ayoko na dumagdag pa ako.

"Stop asking," he said, after I asked my twentieth question.

"Why?"

"Because the more you know, the more danger you are in."
