Declan Costellano
"Declan! Behind you!" I immediately spread my arms to my back when I heard Adriel.
"You think you'll kill me, huh?" I smirked before letting my katana run through his chest.
I pulled it and went to kill those who block my way. I stopped when the manservant of the superior appeared.
"No need to be bloody, Descendant Declan." He said with right stand.
"No need to be a robot, Lucian." I said in a cold tone.
He didn't show any emotion.
"You're wasting your skills by being a dog of your stupid superior." I added.
He was emotionless but the way he gulped didn't let escape my sight.
"Follow me. What you're looking for is here." He said and turn his back on me.
I did what he told me because I know he's telling the truth.
When we arrived at a big space of the edifice, at least ten men are surrounding the superior.
"Here you are." Bungad niya saka tumayo mula sa pag kakaupo na akala mo'y isa siyang hari.
"Where's my father?" Matigas kong tanong.
He smirked and shook his head. "He is not even your father. Why wasting your strength, Descendant?"
I looked at him with coldness. "Maybe because you didn't get to feel what is it like to have a father that's why you won't understand me even if I answer your question."
I saw how he flashed back when I said that. Look how you can defeat him easily. Such a coward.
"Do you have a death wish?" He was mad.
"No. Of course not. Why would I want to die if I have a lot of people who love me? Why don't you die? No one loves you at all."
Because of what I said, I triggered him to get a gun from his men and point it at me.
"Just say yes and I'll pull the trigger." Mayabang niyang pananakot.
I smirked. "Didn't you hear me? I already said no. Are you deaf?" I feel triumphant for teasing him.
"Why don't you just fvcking shut up, huh?" He annoyingly shouted.
I smirked. "Am I supposed to be quiet? You're throwing questions at me so what do you expect? Maybe you should shut the fvck up first before I do."
I saw his jaw clenched before putting the gun down.
"I will quit. You have no enemy now. Just let my Tatay and me go. Alive." I said.
He smirked. "I don't care. I want your head. I want you dead."
"Then kill me." I declared.
"I still want to see you begging." He said.
"Sorry to disappoint you but you'll never hear nor see me begging."
"I want to make you suffer." He added.
"Then torture me."
He took a step forward to me.
"Where's my father?" I asked again.
"Let's just bargain." Bigla niyang anunsyo.
I didn't reply and just waited for him to add another statement of what he said.
"You can get out of here with your Father but in exchange, Aleah will be mi–"
I didn't let him finish what he was about to say and punched him real hard.
"I'm not that fool to say yes, you idiot." I said as I punched him continuously.
I stopped when his men pointed their guns on me.
"Fvck." He said while wiping the blood near his mouth.
Tumayo siya saka humarap sa akin.
"You don't need to be a fool to say yes. She's here, by the way."
Nabalot ako ng kaba at takot nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan at inilabas doon ang babaeng hinihiling ko ay sana manatiling ligtas.
Tumakbo ako papalapit kay Aleah saka sinapo ang kaniyang mukha.
"Baby, can you close your eyes for me?" Malambing kong ani sa kaniya.
She was crying so I needed to calm her down. "Shhh... You will be okay. Just calm down and trust me." I whispered and gave her a peck on the lips.
"Close your eyes, please." I whispered. Even if she's sobbing, she closed her eyes and I sighed.
I turn around and faced the superior.
"You fvcking asshole." I said then run towards him and stab him using my katana.
I saw how his men immediately point their guns at me when my team arrived and kill them all.
"Never mess with me." I whispered and stab him evenly.
I pulled my katana and gave it to Adriel.
I didn't waste any time and I immediately run towards Aleah who is now shivering.
I hugged her to soothe her. "I'm here, baby. You're okay, you're safe." I whispered.
"H-hindi ka ba nasaktan?" She asked while looking at me body, searching if I have a wound or injury.
"I'm okay." I said and cupped her face.
"I love you." I whispered.
She nodded. "I know and I love you too, Declan."
I smiled and kissed her forehead.
"W-where's Tay Dani?" She asked.
"He's okay, I'm sure Connor made a way to unlock the door. Let's see him" i said and pulled her wrist.
"He's already in the car." Adriel said.
I nodded then looked at Aleah. "He's safe." I said and she nodded.
"I know 'cause you promised." Then I saw her smiled.
I kissed her forehead before getting out of the edifice. When we saw the armoured car, Tay Dani opened the door and run towards me and Aleah.
"Ayos ka lang ba, Declan? Ikaw, Aleah? Okay ka lang ba. Nasaktan ba kayo?" Sobra sobrang pag aalala ang narinig ko mula sa kaniya.
Hindi ko na napigilan pa at niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit. "Sorry, Tay. Sorry po kung nadamay kayo." Paulit ulit akong himihingi ng tawad.
Natakot ako. Sobra akong natakot pero hindi ako pwedeng maging mahina.
Pero ngayon, kahit ngayon lang. Maging mahina naman ako.
"Bakit ka humihingi ng tawad? Hindi naman ikaw ang nag tangka sa buhay namin ng Nanay mo? Ikaw pa nga ang nag ligtas sa amin." Inosente niyang sabi sa akin kaya mas lalong humigpit ang yakap ko sa kaniya.
"Nararamdan kong basa ang kwelyo ko, Declan. Tumahan ka na, nandito pa naman si Aleah." Suway niya sa akin habang hinahagod ang likod ko.
"Basta sorry, Tay. Pangako hindi na 'to mangyayari sa sino man sa inyo. Mamatay muna ako bago nila kayo masaktan." Aniko sa kaniya.
"Oh siya, alam ko naman kung paano ka mag mahal. Tumahan ka na at umuwi na tayo. Paniguradong nag hihintay na sa atin ang Nay Mabel ninyo." Aniya sa amin.
Umalis ako sa pag kakayakap ko sa kaniya saka hinawakan ang kamay ni Aleah.
Sabay kaming tatlo na sumakay sa sasakyan at umuwi.
I'm finally home.
