"Putang'na, Ioanna buntis ka?!" he asked again with disbelief in his face.

Sinuklay ang buhok ko gamit ang daliri ko. Ano gagawin? Hindi ko alam.

Natatakot ako. Para sa akin, para sa anak ko kung totoo man na buntis ako.

I'm in foreign country, and I don't know how to escape!

"Ioanna?!" Keighn shouted in annoyance. He's demanding for answers.

"Siguro? Hindi ko alam! I need to be sure. Natatakot ako, Keighn. Ano'ng mangyayari sa amin? I don’t want this kind of life." I cried.

I cried in front of him knowing the consequences. "Are you telling this to your brother?" I asked desperately.

May bakas parin ng lungkot at sakit sa mata niya. Unti-unti siyang lumapit sa akin at idinampi ang labi niya sa aking noo. At niyakap ako ng mahigpit.

"Keighn," kinakabahan kong ani.

Pero hindi siya nagpatinag. He embraced ne tightly and carefully place his hand on my stomach.

"Ilalayo kita dito, ilalayo ko kaya dito. I won't let my brother raised it, I won't let the history repeat itself. Let's escaped here. I can be a father."

Agad ako kumalas sa yakap yakap niya. Gago ba siya?

Alam ba niya na may anak siya kay Khem? Ano ang nasa isip niya?

"You're a mafia boss, too! Hinding-hindi ko papalakihin ang anak ko kasama kayo. I won't let my child to be a monster," I hissed.

I felt my body shivering in annoyance when he laughed at me. "We are misunderstand villain, Ioanna. And I'm the only who is capable of helping you. I don’t care what you think or if you want it. Bibili agad ako ng pregnancy test para malaman natin ang totoo. If you're pregnant you have no choice but to escaped with me. That child is important in Roccero Empire, once he turn 7 he will be announced as the next heir. You need to protect your child but hiding the mafia boss son," he said before he left.

Unti-unti ako lumuhod sa sahig at doon umiiyak.

If it's true that I'm pregnant, my fate and his will be forever connected. At 'yun ang kinakatakutan ko. I can't let my child kill for living. I can't let him do illegal deeds just to survive. Hanggang buhay ako hindi ko hahayaan sinuman ang manakit sa anak ko, at hindi ito hahayaan na manakit ng iba.

I'm a lawyer who married the Mafia Boss. And it's my responsibility to end this madness.

"Woman, if you don't open this fucking door, I will destroy this!" rinig ko ang sigaw sa labas ng library.

Agad ko inayos ang sarili ko bago lumabas. Tumambad sa akin ang asawa ko na magkasalubong ang mata. Puno ng galit ang mga mata nito.

I hugged him. If I'm pregnant, this will be my last chance to hug him like this, to feel his warmth and to be in his arms. I want to preserve my memories with him. After all, our marriage molded me to be the person I want.

Madiin niyang hinawakan ang pulsuhan ko at kinalas ako sa pagkakayakap. Sa lakas ng impact ay hindi niya sinasadyang natulak ako sa likod ng pintuan.

"Putang'na, Kuya!" nagulat ako sa lakas ng mura ni Keighn. Natataranta siyang lumapit sa akin.

He carefully examine my whole body before he face the wrath of his brother.

"Keighn come with me in Italy," his eldest brother interrupted us.

"At bakit Kuya? I will stay here. I'm also the next in line to heir the Roccero Empire. Our rule state as long the main heir has no child he can't fully control the whole organization. I have right and fully access in Main House. Walang sinuman ang pwede magpa-alis sa akin," he said. He looked at his brother with hatred and agony.

Kung pwede lang makapatay ang tingin ay nakabulagta na silang dalawa. They keep glaring at each other.

"Can you stop?!" their eldest brother shouted. The way he spoke, the way he act, screams on authority.

Siya yung tipo ng tao na sobrang hirap abutin, at nakakatakot makilala. Parang isang puzzle ang pagkatao niya. Parang lahat ng galaw at salita niya ay may iba pang kaluhugan. I can't figure him out.

"Ioanna, let's go," hila sa akin ni Keighn. Pero bago pa kami makababa ay agad na hinagit ng asawa ko ang pulsuhan ko.

"Stop messing with me, Keighn. I will kill you. Don't make me hate this world more," ang kanyang natural na abong mata ay parang kailan man ay mapapalitan ng pula dahil sa galit.

I felt the tension between the two powerful mafia boss.

"Kuya, ang problema sa'yo ay hindi mo sinusubukan maghilom. The world is never been fair to anyone. Hindi lang sa'yo o sa atin naging malupit ang mundo! The world will never be easy on anyone, it will hurt us, and traumatized us in any way. Pero kaya nga tayo nabubuhay, eh. Hindi para ikulong ang sarili natin sa dilim kundi para maghanap ng liwanag. If you keep living in your hatred, you will end up losing the people around you. When you keep the wounds, you will never heal." kahit gaano pa siya naghihinakit sa kapatid niya hindi parin maalis ang concern sa boses niya.

"I'll take care of your wife, first. You need to make your decision. It's either you will repeat the history to seek for justice or lose your wife and your life rather," Keighn said in finality.

Unti-unti rin pinakawalan ang pagkakahawak ng asawa ko sa akin. Nang tuluyan na ako binitiwan ng asawa ko ay inalalayan na ako Keighn na muling makapasok sa library. He locked the door before he throw the pregnancy kit in the table.

"F*ck, buti na lang mag stock si Zech ng pregnancy kits. That moron ang dami, ano balak niya gawin? Magtayo ng brand ng pregnancy kit?" he laughed at his own thought.

I got deceived by this side of him. Masyado siyang parang tanga at siraulo para maging mafia boss.

"If its positive, we'll be off tonight. I heard that my brother will left to fix the organization in Saudi so that's our opportunity to escaped." he give me heads up.

"I will decide after I know the result." kinuha ko ang pregnancy kit at nagtungo sa banyo.

I read the instructions carefully before I do it. Habang ginagawan ko ito ay hindi ko maiwasan ang magdasal. Sana mali anh iniisip ko, sana hindi.


Nang lumabas ang result at agad ako nanghina. Inayos ko muna ang sarili ko bago lumabas. I saw Keighn standing near the law's bookshelf. Namumutla at parang hindi alam ang gagawin.

For unknown reason, it makes me happy knowing that someone is genuinely cared for me.

"How's the result?" he asked.

I bit my lower lips. "I'm pregnant."

Onwards this day, I promise that I will protect my child at all cost.

He smiled genuinely. Ang kanyang mukha ay umaliwalas. "Yes! I will be a good father figure on him!" he jump in happiness. "What your decision?" he asked me.

Alam ko na kahit kailan hindi na babalik sa bahaghari ang buhay ko. Matagal ko na tinanggap na hindi magiging madali ang buhay ko. Pero sisiguraduhin ko ibibigay ko lahat na saya na pinagkait sa akin sa anak ko.

"I will hide the Mafia Boss's son,"

In the game of hide and seek, I will win this game.
