ROMAN EMPIRE (Mafia Series 7) (The Emperor of Alpha's Empire) (On-going)

CHAPTER 10

MY COUNTENANCE remained impassive, a mask of stoicism, as I beheld Primo before me. He was standing right in front of me, holding his foot because I had kicked him earlier. Wala sana akong plano na sipain siya ngunit dahil sinagad niya ang pasensya ko, hindi na ako nakapag-pigil.

I don't know but I'm so angry right now. It's been an hour since I landed in the Philippines after my chopper ride from Scotland, and I can't think straight because of the rage and frustration I feel towards him.

He was so unbelievable! Like, tangina talaga. I really thought there was a serious problem with the organization, so I flew here immediately. Turns out, there wasn't anything. He was so serious when he called me yesterday, saying they couldn't handle the situation and needed me.

“Gwendolyn, kanina ka pa nananakit 'ah,” -reklamo niya. “Nag-sorry na nga ako 'di ba?”

“Shut up,” -I snapped, glaring at him. “I can't believe you're doing this. I'm already dealing with so much back home, and I left everything behind because I thought you needed me. I was worried about the organization, and the fúck you're just telling me you're bored?”

“Bored naman talaga ako kaya malaking problema 'yon.”

Masama ko ulit siyang tinignan. “Isa pang sagot mo mapapana na kita,” -nagbabantang sabi ko. “Alis.”

Nangunot ang noo niya. “Where the heck am I supposed to go?”

“Anywhere, as long as it's not here.”

“Oh, god. Do you really think I will follow you?”

He sat down on the couch, shaking his head, and leaned back as if my kick to his leg earlier meant nothing to him. “Take a seat, kanina ka pa nakatayo diyan,” -inilabas niya ang sigarilyo at nagsindi. “Where's Euan? Hindi mo ba sinama?”

“Really, Primo?” -I chuckled. “Are you really that stupid, that you don't even care about my anger?”

He sighed, “I'm sorry, okay? I told you, it was a real emergency.”

I stared at him, “Fúck you.”

He grinned, “Yeah, fúck me.”

I sat down on the couch, seething, facing him. I called out to Euan, who had been stationed outside the HQ for a while. There was no one else here but us, because Kairo had strictly forbidden his people from seeing me. I understand them though, hindi naman kasi pwedeng malaman nila ang itsura ko dahil baka mamaya kumalat sa buong news ang tungkol sa'kin.

My public persona as the Queen of Scotland means it's crucial that my involvement in this organization remains a secret. Discretion is always the better part of valor.

“Your Grace,” -Euan bent his head.

“Call Kairo,” -I commanded. “Tell him we're here.”

He immediately followed my orders and stepped out for a moment. I, on the other hand, chose to stare at Primo, who was now scowling. He was definitely fuming again, knowing he was about to see Kairo. I really don't understand why he has to be so rude when Kairo isn't doing anything to him.

Good gracious. Imbes na ayusin ko ang problema sa bansa ko nandito ako ngayon at nakikipagtitigan sa lalakeng hindi ko ipagkakailang nakakainis talaga. I hope he doesn't test my patience right now, because if he does, I swear I'll shoot him in the shoulder and make him remember it for the rest of his life.

He tricked me for the first time. And I can't believe I let him deceive me. Primo is still the same, he's still the annoying brat and crazy man I know. When will he ever grow up? When will he finally start respecting my time?
