I Am The Queen

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Sumapit ang gabi ng sabado kung saan lahat ay magtitipon tipon para sa mga pagkakakilanlan ng mga pinuno.

I wore a black, tight, backless night dress and paired it with a naked stiletto.

We got into the venue on time. Marami ang napalingon sa gawi namin ng pumasok kami.

All of my boys were wearing suits. Formal ang party na ito at ni hindi mo aakalain na bawat isa sa kanila ay nagbahiran na ng dugo ang mga kamay.

Isang babae ang humarang sa daan ko at tiningnan ako mula ulo hanggang paa. She's wearing a red silk dress and she's holding a wine flute on her left hand.

"Whose wife are you? Baka kilala ko, matulungan pa kitang maghanap." Aniya at sumimsim sa hawak n'yang wine.

"You know, girls like you doesn't belong here. This is a world of murderers-" I cut her off.

"I am completely aware of that, miss. And I am one of those whom you call murderer. If you don't believe me, go and continue fucking my temper." Malamig kong ani.

Natigilan s'ya at pinaningkitan ako ng mga mata. She tried to look into my eyes and so I gave her a dead stare. Her forehead knotted.

"Who are you?" She asked.

Hindi ko s'ya sinagot, sa halip ay humakbang papalapit.

"Get the fuck out of my way." I told her with a warning voice.

Inismiran n'ya ako at umirap bago umalis.

"Queen, calm down." Ken said and smiled at me. Hindi ko sinuklian ang ngiti n'ya at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad patungo sa table namin.

Nalingunan ko si Gianna, ang Queen ng IBF. Tumango s'ya sa akin at nginisihan ko naman s'ya bago naupo sa nakareserbang upuan para sa amin.

May mga nakahandang pagkain bawat table. Wala ding limit ang drinks.

Kalaunan ay nagsimula na ng seremonya. Titig na titig ako sa seniors habang nagsasalita sila. Paulit ulit nilang binabanggit ang mga dapat at hindi dapat ginagawa na nakaaapekto sa mundong kinabibilangan namin.

Maraming pangaral ang binigay ng seniors. Kalaunan ay kinilala ang mga namumuno.

Names of a certain organizations were being called and the leader, one or two, will come up to the stage and meet the seniors.

"Ghiaccio sangue Famiglia." Gianne Montecarlos, together with her husband, Frost Kalvin Henderson, came up to the stage. One of the senior smiled widely at them. Kinausap sila ng matagal don bago pinakawalan.

Ilang mga pangalan pa ang natawag bago ang familia.

Leaders were being introduced on the stage with their first names and how they managed to handle their organization.

"La Nostra Famiglia." When it's our familia's turn, I stood up.

Sinubukan akong alalayan ni Ken pero tumanggi ako dahil kaya ko naman.

Of all of the leaders, I came up alone.

"She's is not a Queen for nothing." I heard one of the seniors said while I was walking towards them.

He smiled at me.

"What is your name, hija? You are so brave, managing your organization all alone."

"Well, it's kinda hard for me, sir, but finding someone whom I can put my trust into is way harder." Ani ko.

Bumungisngis ang matandang babae na nasa tabi n'ya.

"I was in your age when I met Lucio. I also thought I wouldn't have anyone with me and then, he showed up!" Aniya at humawak sa kamay ko.

"You've got a bright future ahead of you. Do not give up. Make everyone realize that queens are indeed Royalty and no unfaithful soldier can afford to even touch them." Anang matandang babae.

"Yes, Madame." I was about to receive the present that they're about to give me when I felt a presence from behind.

Kusang gumalaw ang katawan ko at sinalo ang papalapit na bagay na iyon.

I almost didn't make it.

Kaunti na lang ang pagitan ng palaso sa leeg ng babaeng senior.

Nagkagulo ang lahat dahil sa nangyari.

Agad na umakyat sila Aragorn at pinalibutan ako.

"Where is he?" Tanong ko kay Jaero, pertaining to Ken.

"Nagpaalam s'ya kanina na pupunta daw sa bathroom."

Fuck.

Nilingon ko ang seniors na kalmadong nakaupo lamang at nakangiting nakatingin sa nagpapatayang mga tao sa baba.

"My Lord, maybe you should leave this building." Ani ko sa dalawa.

Huminga ng malalim ang babae at kinuha ang palaso sa kamay ko.

Nandilim ang ekspresyon ng mukha nya at binali ang palaso gamit ang isang kamay bago galit na tumayo.

"Make sure you'll kill that dumbass, hija." Anito at umalis kasama ang asawa at mga tauhan.

Lumingon ako sa entrance.

Nagkakagulo ang mga tao.

"Shit! How can we fight? The sinister have guns and ammunitions with them." Reklamo ni Deron.

"Silver. Go and find Ken. Stay alerted! Go with him, Jaxon." Utos ko sa kanila.

"But, Queen."

"Don't worry about me. Aragorn is still here. Kleo, Jaero, Pierre and Deron, too, so go."

Wala s'yang nagawa kundi ang sumunod sa utos ko.

May mga nagtangkang lumapit sa amin na natatamaan ng palaso at bala ng baril mula sa kung saan.

"Shit! Whose gun is that?!" Iritadong ani Jaero dahil muntik na s'yang matamaan.

An image flashed through my mind.

Nalingunan ko sila Gianne na nanatiling nakaupo sa lamesa nila at nag uusap pa ang mag asawa habang umiinom.

What the fuck?

A lot of men came towards us.

"Shit! May balak talaga sa atin ang sinister!" Ani Pierre.

Nilingon ako ni Aragorn.

"My Queen." He smiled.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng hinawakan n'ya ang palapulsuhan ko.

"You need to go." He said.

"What?!" Iritadong ani ko.

"A familia may lose members but not the leader. Please."

"No way! I'll stay here!" Pagmamatigas ko.

Nilingon n'ya si Deron.

"Take her away from this ruckus." Aniya.

Before Deron could even touch me, a masculine arm snaked around my waist and lifted me up.

Shit!

Tiningnan lang ako ng mga lalaki at hindi man lang sumunod!

I was about to shout at them when I smelled a familiar scent and that's when I realized why they just stood there and watched me being taken away from them, especially Aragorn.

He would never let anyone touch me, unless otherwise, he trusts in that person.

"Hand me my gun!" I ordered but he didn't listened.

"Tuazon, you heard me!" Iritadong ani ko.

"Shut up, baby. I need to get you out of here."
