Hiding The Mafia's Son

Chapter 44

Kahit na natatakot ay mas pinairal ko ang galit. Ako ang dapat na galit dito. Dalawang linggo siyang hindi nagparamdam tapos siya pa ang may ganang magtaray ngayon.

"Nandito ka na? Ang bilis mo naman."

"The jet I used just landed in the airport when I received a message from an unknown number. There was a change in the business schedule I am dealing with since yesterday. Now tell me, where did you go?"

Business? Is it the Caporegime's son?

"Change in the schedule? Ibig sabihin ay dito sa Pilipinas ang next target mo? I thought it will be in Greece."

His jaw tightened after he heard it. His aura seems darker than it was. 

Got 'ya.

"Where did you go and who told you all of that?"

He threatened a step forward. Ngunit hindi ako nagpatinag. Inayos ko ang tayo at tinaasan siya ng kilay. Sana lang hindi mag-palpitate ang kilay ko dahil kanina pa ito tumataas.

"Hindi na iyon mahalaga. Sagutin mo ang tanong ko."

"Yeah? It does not matter? You fucking put yourself in danger, Elaina! With my unborn child, goddamn it!"

His voice roared in the receiving room of his castle-like house. Even the echo was too loud.

Hindi ko alam kung anong mensahe ang natanggap niya para maging galit siya ng ganito. Ngunit hindi pa rin tamang sigawan at murahin niya ako.

"Then what am I supposed to do? Ikulong ko ang sarili ko rito sa malaki mong  bahay na ultimo katulong hindi ko halos makita? Ang mga body guards na ituturing kang hangin? Magpakastress sa mga papeles na nakatambak sa office? Lumabas lang ng bahay kapag may business meetings at syempre naman may mga nakabuntot!? Daig ko pa preso na may kaonting kalayaan! Lagi mo na lang akong iniiwang naguguluhan, Zykiel. You always leave me in the dark. I don't need you to be over protective. All I want is your trust." 

"Paano kita pagkakatiwalaan kung simpleng pag-iingat hindi mo magawa?"

"I am careful! I am capable of protecting myself. I thought I already proved you that. Kung wala kang tiwala sa akin sana may tiwala ka sa sarili mo na siyang nagturo sa akin, diba?"

"This is not just about you, Elaina. This is not just about trusting your skills or mine. This is about my children. OUR children."

I bit my lower lip and run my fingers through my hair. I am damn frustrated.

Akala niya ba talaga pababayaan ko ang anak ko? Kahit pa itong batang nasa sinapupunan ko? Pabaya ba akong ina sa paningin niya?

Of course I won't go without safety measures.

Hindi ko isinama ang body guards ko pero may snipers ako sa paligid. We were in an enclosed room but it was monitored. I have someone monitoring the video surveillance and there were smoke grenades inside the business room ready to help me escape in case of emergency. 

I even brought a revolver with me.

He granted me full access to his men. Hindi niya ba inisip na gagamitin ko iyon?

"You know what? Stop acting like you are in control of my life or my son's life. Stop treating me like I am incapable of protecting myself and my children, Mr. Villafuerte! Of all people that is concerned here, I am the most trustworthy for their safety. Yes, you are the father and thank you for your sperm by the way..but I am the mother! Ako ang nagdadala sa loob ng siyam na buwan at minsang naging isa ang aming mga bituka!"

"Look. I am not saying you are incapable. I am just saying that you should be extra careful with your every action. Lumabas ka na hindi kasama ang body guard mo. As a mother like what you have said which is true, you really think that was a safe move? Considering the threat?"
