Start the War

Chapter 011

Cj is back in Italy because of the matter he has to face. All of the bodyguards who see him are bowing their heads as a sign of greeting and pure respect.

He only nodded at them a bit and proceeded to walk until he reaches the elevator of their headquarters.

It's been almost two weeks since his talk with his sister. Pagkatapos noon ay wala ng nangyari pang interaksyon sa kanilang dalawa.

Laking pasasalamat na rin niya because Alexandra hasn't pulled another trick after that day.

Not yet.

And it's making him more anxious as the day passes by. Her silence, her quietness is dangerous. It's like the lull before the storm.

He always has to expect the worse of worse when it comes to Alexandra. She has the capability to do it, to make things worse.

Kung tutuusin, she herself is the worse. He even considers her as the 'big problem' in his university.

There's no way she's going to be silent forever after being humiliated in front of those students especially that the one who did it is 'lower' than her.

He knows she has something on her sleeves. Kaya ngayong umalis siya sa Pilipinas pansamantala, hindi niya maiwasang hindi magalala. Something might happen during his absence.

But then he remembered, Lorenzo is there. Their everyday attendance—the most unusual and strangest thing that happened in his university so far—was making him confused.

Then he analyzed the situation so his confusion would finally stop.

He learned that they came back after their long absence the same day Alexandra came to the university for the first time this school year.

So perhaps it's because of her and her interest in Cheska?

It's a baseless hunch. It's his pure gut feeling. Just like what he said before, Lorenzo was his best friend so he knows how his mind and heart works.

What he's not sure if he changed these past few months. There's no way Lorenzo hasn't changed even a tiny bit after what happened between the two of them.

People always change when they feel pain and got betrayed.

Nonetheless, he's sure Cheska can handle herself. If she did what she did before, she can do it again.

Sana nga lang ay handa siya sa posibleng gawin ni Alexandra sa kaniya or else she wouldn't be able to protect herself if, in the first place, she's not ready for what's about to come.

Isang araw lang naman. He'll come back right away.

He prays Alexandra would behave herself just for one day at hindi niya gamitin ang oportunidad na wala ang president sa university—but knowing her arrogance, nandoon man siya o wala she's still going to do what she wants to do.

The elevator dinged as a sign that he's finally at the floor where he's supposed to be.

Naglakad siya papalabas at nakakita ng kakaunting tao—they're all bodyguards who are guarding the meeting room in case someone tried to disturb or interrupt them. Eavesdrop is improbable since the room is soundproof.

As soon as he opened the door, the natural light emanating from the outside gleamed before his eyes. There's a large glass window found inside the room making the neighbor buildings around be visible in their eyes.

Their quarters are composed of several siblings circling the main building, the building where he is right now—they have the largest headquarters among the mafia organizations.
