Chapter 23: Fallen Angel (Three)

Mayra's POV
"What?!" My eyes widened. "What are you saying, Tita?! You know he can't do that!"

"The situation has changed now, Mayra," Tita Friar said as she looked seriously at me. "Sakura was the hostage of the other organization that was supposed to be negotiating with Ruxinaire's team, and Lucas has found Olivia suffering near death." Her eyes narrowed. "I'm sure that there's only one person who could do that at that same time."

I sighed and propped down on my bed, recollecting all that Tita Fri said. "Then, if he did that to Olivia, how could we suppose to finish the endless war between our Mafia and her organization? We couldn't also take back Mama if the boss of the organization is unconscious."

"Sakura is still a hostage, Mayra," Tita Fri said and gave me a reassuring smile. "I'm sure your twin could handle it." Her smile faded and her eyes are blazing with fire. "For now, let's put Frious down. He has gone mad again."

Frious... There's one condition Frious has, and it is an unspoken condition that only I know and the High Reapers.

If Mare finds out about this in an unexpected situation...

I stood up from my bed and nodded at Tita Friar. "Let's go, Tita."

Mavis' POV
"Put the girl out of this negotiation, please. We don't want any person to be harmed in our negotiation," sambit ko sa lalaking may hawak kay Sakura.

Napalingon muli ako kay Ruxinaire. Halatang hindi na siya makapagpigil na suntukin ang mga lalaking nasa harapan namin ngayon.

Well, I can't blame him. Seeing his own daughter held by an unknown group of men and the one who wants to negotiate with the Castell Organization? Ang sarap talagang masapak. And additionally, may mga signs na sinaktan si Sakura. Who would not be mad?

"Mavis..." Narinig kong bulong ni Ruxinaire. Handang-handa na ang kanyang kamao na sumuntok sa mukha ng lalaki.

I nodded and looked at them. "The money is in here," sabi ko sabay gesture sa mga kasamahan namin na ibigay sa'kin ang pera.

Ibinigay nila iyon sa akin at itinapon ko iyon sa kanila. Mga nerbyosong na-catch ng mga kasamahan ng lalaking hawak si Sakura ang metal case.

Lumingon ako muli sa lalaking hawak si Sakura at saka ngumiti. "You know, let go of that girl, or else, you will have your test of hell."

"W-What are you talking about?" nauutal na tanong niya. Ha. Scaredy-cat pala ang isang 'to eh.

"This man," turo ko kay Ruxinaire. "He could kill you," pagpapatuloy ko at nag-gesture ng isang linya sa hangin malapit sa leeg ko gamit ang aking hinlalaki. "If you will not give us that woman, I could assure you that you could have your money but it will be in your pool of blood. Oh! With your friends as well, of course!"

Mas lalong namutla ang lalaki na halos akala mo namatay na sa takot. I looked at Sakura. She is too weak to move right now kaya naman nakaisip ako ng plano.

"Rux, take Sakura," I whispered to him. He looked at me with hesitation in his eyes. Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mga mata.

Napabuntong-hininga siya at saka tumango. Mabilis niyang hinatak si Sakura paalis sa hawak ng lalaki at ako naman ang nagtulak pababa sa lalaki.

Nagulat ang kanyang mga kasamahan at ang mga kasama rin namin ni Ruxinaire.

"Put this girl in my car!" rinig kong sigaw ni Ruxinaire at nakarinig ng random na pag panic. Pero makalipas ang isang minuto, nakarinig rin ako ng mga mabibilis na yapak papalayo sa scene.
