Hide and Seek (The Yamaguchi Veiled Intentions) - Season 2

Chapter 52

Chapter 52

"Where's Briggs?"

The first thing I asked them about was Briggs. When I turned around, I saw Boris, Blaze, and an unfamiliar man standing there. He was one of those three who were kidnapped and then saved.

I was desperate for answers, hoping they could tell me what happened to Briggs and where he is right now. But instead of answering me, Boris and Blaze just walked towards me. They didn't say a word and simply pulled me into a tight hug. I could feel their bodies shaking as they started to cry, their tears wetting my shoulder.

It was clear that they were deeply affected by whatever had happened before and now. In that moment, I realized that maybe there were no words that could explain the pain and relief they were feeling all at once. I could sense the heavy burden they were carrying, the weight of emotions too overwhelming to put into words. 

As we stood there, wrapped in a silent embrace, I felt a mix of fear and hope. Fear of what their silence might mean for Briggs, but also hope that their tears were not just for sorrow, but for the feeling of relief that came with us being reunited after two years, especially since they didn't know I was still alive.

"Y-You're alive..." They still can't believe I'm alive.

Boris and Blaze seem like they didn't want to let go of me from hugging me. It seems that they really miss their boss.

"Miss Snow?..."

We let go of each other and turned around at the same time when someone called me. Then, we saw the foremen of the Cassano Organization with Hiroki, Ryker, and Theron. Mr. Islwynn and Mr. Evander were also there, along with Berlin and the Los Royales men. I didn't expect them to arrive here so quickly.

"Madam..." Berlin gave me a hug. My Los Royales men also bowed to me.

"You continued to train them, Berlin. Thank you." I smiled and held his shoulder.

"For you and for Billy. For Los Royales, Madam." He smiled too.

The next ones who gave me a hug were the Cassano Organization foremen, Faolan, Avel, and Nero, na akala mo hindi nagalit sa akin nung nagpanggap ako bilang Malia. But here they are, so happy to see me alive.

"Nakakamiss man si Miss Malia, pero nakakasira ng puso nung nalaman naming wala kana, Miss Snow, kayo ni Boss." Avel said, then looked away to wipe away the tears that fell from his eyes.

"Luh, iyakin!" Nero teased him. "Basta ako, Miss Snow, I'm so happy that you and boss are alive." His voice almost cracked.

Faolan intervened with a laugh. "Parang ayaw mo naman ipaalam kay Miss Snow kung gaano ka umiyak nung nawala sila ni Boss. Naka ilang box nga ulit siya ng tissue, Avel?"

"Ikaw nga inubos mo 'yung mga mamahaling alak ni Boss kakaiyak, eh." Faolan widened his eyes when Nero said it, knowing well how Hiroki treasures his collection of expensive liquors. They both glanced nervously at Hiroki to see if he was mad.

Hiroki is, of course, Nikolaus, the leader of the Cassano Organization, my husband, and still my husband.

Hiroki just gave them a deathly stare, but we all knew that it was just a joke. I can't imagine how they felt after finding out that we were already dead after jumping off the cliff.

"Sus, miss mo lang si Boris, eh," bawi ni Faolan, ayaw magpatalo. I just shook my head, watching them tease each other. Para silang mga bata. I think they would get along with Mr. Lim.

"You guys never change," Theron intervened.

"Hala si Daddy Theron galit na." Avel said while laughing.
