Two Sides Of Her (Complete)

Chapter 44

I pulled myself away from the hug and Leander did the same as well.

"Uh. Can I borrow your cellphone? I think mine just died." I sheepishly said. He let out a chuckle before handing his phone over to me.

I immediately dialed Alonzo's business phone and after a few rings ay sumagot na ito.

"This is Alonzo Montisanti speaking." Bungad niya sa akin.

"A, it's me. Ate Z. Did you learn about the chase from Giosh?" Tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Ate Z! It's you. Well to answer your question, yes. But he only said the details on the part where you asked him to stray off the cars tailing you. Other than that ay wala na."

"So how was it. All good?" I asked.

"Of course, Madame. Everything is good." Sagot niya sa akin. Napatango naman ako sa kaniyang sagot although he could not see me.

"Good. Inform the others. I'm calling a meeting." I instructed bago binaba ang tawag.

Nilingon ko si Leander na ngayon ay nakatayo lamang sa aking tabi habang nakatitig sa 'kin.

He was staring at me intently at ang kaniyang bibig ay bahagyang nakaawang na para bang namamangha sa kaniyang nakita.

"Wow. I always forget about the fact that you're with the Mafia, Schwyze. It's just so—"

"Schwyler." I cut him off. He gave me a confused look and I gave him a small smile in return.

"My name's Schwyler. Call me that."

I never really thought that there would come a day where Leander will know my real name. And it even came from me directly.

"Schwyler." He repeated. I smiled at the mention of my name.

I liked how my name sounded when he say it.

"That's right. We should continue this conversation on the road, I called for a family meeting so we should get going." I explained to him. He only gave me a nod at sumunod naman no'ng pumasok na ako ng kotse.

I turned the engine on and started driving towards the entrance of the city.

"So when you said you're a part of the Mafia, what exactly does that mean? I didn't know the Philippines have Mafias." Leander inquired. He was genuinely clueless. Napatawa naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"We're Italians, Leander. This Mafia business originated there. You know how most of the Mafias are from Italy. Even most of the pistols are produced there." Kuwento ko sa kaniya. Another unbelievable situation for me. I can't believe I'm sharing my family history to Leander.

"Speaking of Italian. I don't think I've ever said this before or if I have said this enough but I really like it. Listening to you speaking Italian."

I felt my face heat up nang sabihin niya iyon. I did not say anything in return at nanatiling tahimik lang.

When we entered the City's premises ay agad kong tinahak ang daan papunta nang aking bahay. I have to change into my combat gear bago magpunta nang mansyon para sa aming meeting.

"Where are we going?" Leander asked beside me. We're almost near my house.

"We'll go to my house first. I need to change my clothes, saka tayo pupunta ng family mansion for the meeting." Paliwanag ko naman sa kaniya. Leander needs to be there at the meeting dahil kailangan na niyang malaman ang lahat ng nangyayari sa paligid niya. He deserves to know the truth. Also, baka may alam rin siya na makakatulong sa aming imbestigasyon laban sa mga Incognito.
