Meet The Mafia Queen

i. the mafia queen

Vanessa's POV

A NOISE coming from my side woke me up. I irritatingly stood up and turn it off.

I faced the mirror in front of me, and looked at my bare face.

There are so many scratches and a little bit of blood on the side of my forehead

Yesterday, I got into fight. That's normal, but this is the first time that I got a scratch on my face and yet it hurts as hell.

I slowly touch it and silently curse "Crap." I cussed "That guy should die." I rolled my eyes and open the drawer near my bed

But before I get the ointment in my drawer, someone knocked on my door

"Who is it?" I asked as I pressed the button beside the door. The purpose of it is to turn on or turn off the sound proof of my room

"G-good morning, Queen. Naistorbo ko po ba ang pagtulog niyo?"

"Not really." I answered and sat on the couch as I check my guns "-what do you want, butler?"

"Your uncle wants to talk to you, Queen. In his workroom." He said "-do you want me to accompany you, Queen?"

I opened the door "No need, butler." I coldly said

His face was shocked when I looked at him "Do you have any problem with it?"

"W-wala, Queen." He bowed his head "Patawad po."

I walked away and walked to my uncle's work room

'Damn. My head is aching as fuck.'

"I HEARD you want to talk to me, uncle?" I asked when I open his work room door

"Vanessa." He warned and I chuckled "Knock on the door."

I knocked and smirked "That's it, uncle." He glared at me "What did I do wrong?" I asked

"We talked about this, Vanessa Briones." He seriously said

My left eyebrow raised "Oh."

"Tsk."

I grinned "Sorry about that, tito." I said in a sarcastic way "So, why did you call me? Urgent?"

My tito nodded "Yep." He answered "I heard that you woke up yesterday night, hmmm."

I rolled my eyes "It's nothing."

"Nothing?" He sarcastically asked "Then what's that?" He pointed my face "Is that Nothing you were saying, Vanessa?"

"Tsk!"

"Vanessa." He warned me "Where did you go last night?"

"I said it's nothing!" I lied

He stood up "Vanessa Briones!"

"Fine!" I sat on his couch "I went to Pentagon."

"Pen-what?" He asked "What the hell is that, Vanessa? Are you on drugs?!"

I laughed "It's Pentagon, tito." I answered "It's a kind of club which can allow you to fight with anyone, and nah. Drugs are not my thing."

"-dad hates it."

He slowly sat on his swivel chair "Mabuti naman at nagkakaintindihan tayo, Vanessa. Ayokong magaya ka sa ibang mga pinun-"

"Stop worrying about me, tito." I looked around "I can handle myself, and besides,"

I stood up "I should follow my parent's rules."

He smiled "That's good to hear, Vanessa." He said "Anyways, I have something to tell you."

I leaned closer to his table "What is it?"

A smile was written on his face "I want you to go back to Manila."

My eyed widened and my jaw almost dropped "W-what do you mean, tito? Are you-"

"Vanessa, anong sabi ko sayo?"

I rolled my eyes "Speak Tagalog."

"Good." He looked at me "You have to go back in Manila, Vanessa."

"And why?" He glared at me "-I mean, bakit? For what?"

"It's for your own good, my niece." I sighed

"But tito, this is not acceptable! I went here to have my vacation!"

"-and your vacation is to fight with anyone in Pentagon? You must be kidding, my niece."

"Are you going to punish me, tito?" I seriously asked "You can't do this!"

He smirked "I already did, my dear Vanessa."

He put the tickets on his table "Here. Start packing your things now, Vanessa."

"Why are you pushing me away, uncle?! I'm your niece!"

"Yes, you're my niece and I'm doing this for your own good." He simply said

"-and also, you'll be the one who'll take care of our organization in Manila." He announced "-you wouldn't love to ruin your father's rules, am I right?"

"But this is too much!" I said

"Think about your parents, Vanessa. Sa tingin mo ba binigay lang ng mommy mo ang kwintas na yan dahil lang gusto niya?" He pointed the heart necklace that I am currently wearing

"She gave it to you, because you're the Mafia Queen." He said "-and she believes that you'll continue their legacy."

I turned my back on him "The Briones Organization needs you, Vanessa. They need a Queen who'll guide them. They need you.

'Crap, what should I do now?'

"HOLY fuck! Shit!"

I cursed when I felt a pain on my head while putting an ointment

"Tsk! Why does it hurts so fuckin' much?"

I put some on the side of my head and at last, I'm fuckin' done with this shit.

I looked at my luggage. One luggage and one bag, but too much things.

I heard a knocked coming from my door "Wait up!" I irritatingly shouted

'Why are they in hurry? Hindi naman sila ang aalis.'

I pulled my luggage and held my bag as I open the door

I saw butler James and say, "Q-queen, nakahanda na po ang sasakyan."

I was about to walk away but I remembered something "Wait."

"Y-yes, Queen?"

"You're coming with me, right?" I assured him

He nodded and say, "O-opo, Queen."

I smiled and after that I gave him my black luggage "Then bring this." I rolled my eyes as I walk away

'That's how you deal with other person.'

I was about to get in but my phone suddenly vibrated

I opened it and saw my tito's text

From: Uncle

Be safe, my niece. Call me if there's something wrong and lastly, no bars.

'Well, I guess I can't deal with my own uncle.'
