Resume the War

Chapter 092

But it's true. What she said is true. Among the highest ranking members, she feels at ease more when she is with him.

She's certain it's because of the characters he built himself. Sean says what he wants to say. He speaks what he thinks. He shows what he feels. There's nothing about him that is...filtered. Everything is genuine. Real.

Hindi naman sa hindi niya pinagkakatiwalaan ang iba. She trusts everyone. But Sean...he is different from the others. Kahit madaldal at makulit at sakit sa ulo, she trusts him more than anyone else.

And it's not because she thinks she is harmless. Never in his life she saw him as a harmless person. She saw his eyes after the Young organization did a surprise attack and during the war.

It was cold. Empty yet raging.

"Nasaan ba ang magaling mong boyfriend? Bakit hindi siya ang sasama sa'yo?"

"I asked him to do other things."

"How important it is na hindi niya sasamahan ang magaling niyang girlfriend?"

She sighed. Ayaw talagang magpatalo. "First, the order comes from me. Second, this is for the organization too. Are the others ready? Kung oo, tara na."

"Hold on." he clicked his earpiece na nakaconnect sa guards na nasa dalawang kotse sa kanilang likuran. "Is everyone set? We're leaving in 5."

"5? Anong 5? We're leaving now!"

"Ayoko." binaba niya ang kamay at nilingon siya. "You need to pay me something first for forcing me to be your driver."

"Forced you? No, I didn't?"

"You forced me with your eyes!" he defended dahilan para mapabuntong hininga si Cheska at irap. So this is the disadvantage of being with Sean. Napakahabang usapin. Why she didn't see this one coming? "Tell me first or explain me first your final decision towards the Black organization."

"Can't you wait until we get back?"

"Can you wait until I take you to Switzerland?"

Sabi nga niya. Mukha rin namang iyon na lang ang paraan para makabawi kay Sean. Yea, she did threaten him using her stares and silence. Feeding him with chismis can satisfy his thirsty existence.

"I had to make such a decision because..."

"Because...?" he asked impatiently. "What is it?

"It's a waste of time. Not worth our time."

Sean's lips parted. Bakas sa kaniyang mukha ang labis na pagkagulo. He's not expecting that response. Waste of time? Not worth their time? "They literally shot you multiple times and stabbed you. How in the world they are not worth our time?"

She chuckled. "Believe me when I say they did that to trigger that Lees. That's possible to happen. That's why I had to make this decision asap."

"Oh? So how is that...a waste of our time? They're basically a threat. To us! To the Mafia World!"

But they are not after the Mafia World. "It is me they want....not the Mafia World."

He fell silent.

Cheska shut her eyes tightly and sighed deeply. "Ah...I really am not going to tell this to anyone but—please, don't tell anyone about this. I have no plans to disclose that information later."

"How come they want you?"

Well, he did protect the secret about the Founders so she's certain he can also keep this one to himself. "They want me on their side."
