Third Person's Pov
Paglabas nina L sa office ay agad na tinawagan ni Kazimir yung associate niya at sakto namang paglabas nila ay papunta si Declan Tarasov sa office ng Pakhan.
Masama ang tingin nito sakanila. L just didn't know why Declan showed an open hostility towards them. Sa tatlo ay si Declan lang talaga ang hindi okay na nandito sila at alam naman nilang lahat na Italian Famiglia sila. Hell, they even knew they were Sicilians.
Pagbalik nila sa living area ay nandun si Vera at mga anak niyang nag-uusap.
"Ma. I told you it was nothing." Sabi ni Alexei Tarasov at napatawa lang si Vera.
Pumasok na sina Dylan pero naisipan ni L na lumabas na muna para magpahangin. Bigla nalang kasing sumama ang pakiramdam niya.
"I'll be fine. I just need some air." sabi ni L sakanila.
"Samahan na kita." Sabi ni Dylan pero umiling lang si L. She wanted to be alone.
Sinara na ni L ang pinto while forcing a smile.
Hindi pa siya nakakadalawang hakbang nang bumukas ulit ito. "Sigurado ka bang okay ka lang?"
"I'm fine Dylan." Sagot ni L at aalis na sana nang bigla siyang hawakan ni Dylan sa kamay.
"I'm just here, okay?" sabi nito saka hinayaan na si L na umalis.
L wanted to get away from everything for a while. Maybe that was a joke, maybe seeing Vera reminds her how much she lost, of what she could have had. It was all wishful thinking. She had to face what reality had set upon her.
Palabas na siya nang magkasalubong sila ni Declan na inis at parang babarilin ang unang taong makita niya. Unluckily for L, it was her. She was just the person he despised at the moment.
Iiwas nalang sana si L pero nakatingin na si Declan sakanya.
"What the hell are you doing here?" inis na sabi nito sakanya. "Why don't you f*cking Italians just go home. I would kill you if the Pakhan hadn't made his orders clear."
He stepped forward until he was looming over her and L had to look up at him. L didn't back down, she wasn't the girl she was before.
"I could just strangle this little neck of yours Italian." Malamig na sabi niya with a murderous look on his face.
"Try to touch me Tarasov and I'll make sure to break your arm." Seryosong sabi ni L. "I would shoot you but I don't want Vera to be unhappy."
Declan clenched his jaw. He could just strangle her easily but he wasn't stupid, he knew if he touched her, the Pakhan will punish him even though he is the Pakhans son or the heir. It would not matter.
Nang wala nang sabihin si Declan ay minabuti nalang ni L na umalis. No need to cause unneeded fight.
Dumiretso nalang si L sa labas kung saan yung bench na nakita niya kanina.

Dylan clenched his hand. Gusto niya sanang mamagitan pero hindi yun magugustuhan ni L. She didn't want them always protecting her. Nang makaalis na si L ay agad na niyang nilapitan si Declan.
Bago pa man makapag-rect si Declan ay agad na niya itong kinwelyuhan and slammed his body to the wall.
"What the f-"
