Meet The Mafia Queen: The Revelations

xv. traitor

Vanessa's POV

EVERYBODY'S just talking around, blabbering about something. Meanwhile, I've decided to go outside

I knew it, Axel's here. He's always watching me, I couldn't help not chuckle. "Hey," I turned around, that voice is familiar

"Michael," I forced to smile

"Bakit ka nandito?" He looked around "Malamig ngayon, ayaw mo ba sa loob?" He pointed the main door "Nagkakasiyahan sila ro'n." I shooked my head and say

"No thanks," I crossed my arms "I'm fine here."

He nodded "Gano'n ba? Hmm." He cleared his throat "Uhm so, when are we going on a date again?" My left eyebrow raised

"Why are you asking me?" You forced me to go on a date with you, so deal with my arrogant side. And In the first place, I wouldn't go out with you.

Because like what I've said, relationship isn't my fucking thing

'How about Axel?'

I bit my lip, oo nga no. I rolled my eyes 'Whatever!'

"Gusto kong malaman ang schedule mo," he said while smiling "Okay lang ba 'yon sa'yo?"

I scoffed "That's my privacy, even my girls don't know it." Ngumiwi ako "I'll just . . . message you." I say

He smiles "Salamat sa pagbibigay sa'kin ng pagkakataon," he slowly walk near me "Alam mo naman na handa akong mag hintay, mapasaakin ka lang."

Damn, I trembled on what he said. In movies, it's sweet but when it comes to me? I always find it disgusting and creepy. Ugh.

"Ah, yeah right." I simply said, geez this is creeping me out.

"Hihintayin kita." Saad n'ya "Kahit gaano katagal, kahit gaano kahirap,"

"—maghihintay ako." I sighed

"You lost all the love from your parents at gus—" my brows furrowed

How dare you mention my parents? "Can we not talk about it?" I clenched my fist

"B-bakit? Hindi ba nama—"

"I want to be alone, p'wede bang umalis ka na?" I sound so obnoxious because of my tone but the hell I care.

"S-sige, pasensya na." With that he turned around

I covered my face with both of my palms "Damn, damn!" I can feel my tears on the side of my eyes

Why would he even mention my parent's death? It's been years, yet it's still fresh to me. Damn. I couldn't help not to curse.

I fixed myself and told myself not to cry. I keep saying on my mind that I should not cry and I'm not weak.

Everybody knows that talking about parents is what I loathe the most. They fucking know that. But this guy—he went below the goddamned belt!

He should have been careful in his words. He shouldn't have crossed the line, he should have known his fucking limitations!

I clenched my fist in so much anger. This . . . is getting out of hand.

THE NEXT DAY, I have decided to meet Cathy due to some reasons that we're going to talk about today.

We're currently here inside a restaurant, "Queen? Anong g-gusto mong pag usapan?"

"How's Dave?" I sipped a wine "I heard he ran away from the hospital," she gulped and her brows furrowed

"Talaga? H-hindi ko alam, Queen." I see

"—pero ang sabi, ginawang private ang paggagamot sa kan'ya. Sabi sa'kin ni Michael." Michael?

"I didn't know that you and Michael are close." I smiled "You two could be a great couple,"

Her eyes widened "A-ano?" She seems shock "Queen naman, mas bagay kayo. Mag kaibigan lang kami ni Michael no." She chuckles "Parang kayo lang ni Eric. Gano'n ang pagkakaibigan namin."

"I see." I cleared my throat "Actually, I didn't tell you to come here just because I want to talk about Michael or even Dave's condition."

She stared at me "Kung gano'n, tungkol saan ang pag uusapan natin?" Tanong n'ya

I smirk at her "Since you mentioned Eric," pinaikot ikot ko ang kutsilyo sa mga daliri ko "We're going to talk about the traitor I've mentioned before,"

"Traitor?" Her forehead creased, she was about to get her phone from her bag "Sandali lang, tatawagan ko lang si Jam—"

"No, don't call her." I said

"Pero Queen, kailangan ito pag usapan ng buong hellacious. Tayong tatlo."

"I said no." My voice hardened "Jamie shouldn't know about this." I looked at her directly in her eyes

"B-bakit? Pero Queen parte din s'ya ng Hellacious."

"This just a meeting between you and me," Simpleng ani ko

"H-hindi kita maintindihan, Queen? Magkaaway ba kayo ni Jamie?" Hindi ako sumagot "Q-Queen?"

"Jamie's the traitor." Her eyes widened as her jaw dropped

"A-ano?

"Yes, she is." I looked away "It's disappointing, right?"

She couldn't believe it "N-no," she almost cry "P-paano? Baka naman nagkakamali ka lang, Q-queen."

"She steals money from me, she works for someone." Simpleng saad ko "She's the traitor, Cathy." She shooked her head

"N-no," she keep shooking her head "Si J-jamie . . ."

"I was disappointed," sabi ko "But we have no choice,"

"—but to kill the traitor." A smile appeared on my lips "Which is Jamie." With that, her tears fell
