My eyes started to get watery while looking at the positive result of PT in my hand. I swear I'm gonna kill them if they lay a finger on her!

Drake's POV


Drake's POV


Sinundan ko si Carmella palabas ng building. She's drunk and she's out of her mind. I only meet Travis once, and all could say that he was a nice guy. I know Carmella can't afford to lose him, that's why she hangs on without telling him the truth, and I've learned from that mistake.

Iba naman ang sitwasyon namin ni Betty. I wasn't given a choice, because dad ordered me to marry her. I wasn't interested but somehow she wasn't bad after all. She's easy to fall in love with and I got hooked straight away.

Tama rin naman si Carmella, she's a Del Fiore but she's pure. Hindi niya alam ang totoong kalakaran ng totoong pamilya niya.

"You're not driving, Carmela."

Tinulak ko siya para makaupo sa passenger seat. Mas mabuting ihatid ko na siya. She's even driving without her escorts with her. Kung sa bagay sanay na naman si Carmella, at kahit papaano ay marunong siyang lumaban sa sarili niya.

"Oh, are you going to drop me?" ngisi niya.

"What choice do I have?"

I start the ignition and off we go. Napasandal agad siya sa upuan at pinikit ang mga mata. Tumunog ang cell phone ko pero hindi ko maabot ito. So it went off, but then it ring again.

"Ako na!" Si Carmella, at siya na mismo ang kumuha nito sa likod at inabot sa akin.

"Hello?"

Hindi ko tiningnan kung sino ito at sinagot lang.

"B-boss. . ." abot hiningang boses ni Deigo.

"Deigo?"

I stepped on the brakes hard for a full stop.

"The heck, Drake!" reklamo ni Carmella. Kamuntik na kasing tumama ang mukha niya sa dashboard.

"Diego? Where are you?"

Kinabaan na ako. By the sound of it, he's hurt and wounded.

"Si Madam, Boss. . ."

"F*ck!"

Nagmura na ako at agad na niliko ang kotse. I ended the call straight away and called Jet.

"Jet? Trace Diego's location now! And take the boys there with you. Call the ambulance too. Susunod na ako."

"Yes, boss, hang on."

Hinintay ko siya sa kabilang linya hanggang sa binigay na niya ang insaktong location nila. Binilisan ko na ang takbo at nakatitig pa sa akin si Carmella.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this."

"Is it the Nostra?" Sabay mura niya.

Si Betty ang iniisip ko ngayon. Is she okay? Their location is halfway to work. Gusto niya siguro akong puntahan sa trabaho.

Inihinto ko mismo sa tapat ang kotse, at kitang kita ko ang tama ng baril sa bawat gulong ng kotse nila. Mabilis akong lumabas sa. Halos madurog na ang puso ko sa eksena.

"Betty? Diego?"

"F*ck! Diego!"

Dugaan siya at may tama siya sa tagiliran at sa gilid ng mukha niya. I check his pulse and I can detect his heartbeat. Nagmura na ako nang makita na wala si Betty rito.
