Meet The Mafia Queen: End Game

iii. what if

Vanessa's POV

AXEL WENT inside the women's room and I didn't bother asking him to go away because I knew he wouldn't. I would just probably waste my time.

"I told you, baby. It's nothing. Huwag ka ng magselos." He teased.

Nothing my ass.

"I'm not!" I denied. "And will you move away from me? Someone might think we're doing something."

I saw from the mirror his left brow rising with what I said. "Doing what?"

He leaned closer to my ear.

"T-tch. Move away!" I went to another sink and he just laughed.

"Are we really gonna fight about that girl, Vanessa? You know how much I love you." Paglalambing niya.

"Then, stop flirting!" I couldn't help.

"I wasn't." He laughed. "Ikaw lang ang nilalandi ko." He leaned closer to me again. "At alam mo 'yon."

He kissed my earlobe that made me twitch my lips.

Fine.

You win.

"Are we good now? Bati na tayo?" His eyes were sparkling while asking.

Tss. Of course! I can't stand getting mad at you even for just one hour.

When he hugged me from my back, he smiled. He already knows that we're good now because I didn't push him away.

"I love you." He kissed my right cheek.

Those three words again!

All my anger . . . all curses in my mind.

It vanished instantly!

He hugged me behind my back tightly. Obviously waiting for my answer.

"I love you too,"

Shit!

I'm not marupok! Why am I saying this?

He grinned and our eyes met each other in the mirror.

THE PARTY hasn't ended yet but Axel and I decided to go home already. Technically, I wasn't feeling well that's why I wanted to go home and rest but Axel wanted to come with me because it would be boring for him to continue partying with the newlyweds without me.

'As If I can leave him alone there.'

Axel's like a freaking magnet.

A fucking chick magnet specifically.

That's why I'm afraid to let him out of my sight. Who knows if I suddenly see a group of bitches trying to win him.

And no, I'm not jealous.

I'm just being territorial.

After I took a bath and changed my outfit, I let myself rest on the bed but a few seconds later, I heard a creaking sound from the door.

He's here.

I'm not facing him. I'm actually facing the huge window in my room so he couldn't see if I'm already asleep or not.

I felt him lying beside me as he slowly caressed my waist, pulling me for a hug and buried his face on my neck.

I didn't bother speaking. He always does that as if my neck is his safe place.

"Are you still mad at me?" His deep baritone sent shivers down my spine.

"No." I simply answered.

After he calmed me down inside the restroom by his favorite three words, I already forgot that bitch who tried to flirt with him.

"Then, why aren't you facing me?"

'Should I tell him?'

A sigh escaped from my lips.

"I'm just tired." I said, almost a whisper.

He fixed his position and pulled me closer to him. "I told you, she was just congratulating me." He explained for the nth time.

I shook my head and turned to him. Our eyes met as I expressed my thoughts. "It's not about that."

He caressed my chin, "Then, what's bothering my baby?"

I refused to talk.

The main reason why I wanted to go home aside from I'm tired already is because I felt someone's keeping an eye on me.

I don't know if I'm hallucinating or overthinking or someone's really staring at me from afar.

"Vanessa," his tone changed.

"—we already talked about this, right?"

I hesitated to answer.

Ever since we got engaged. We made a promise to tell each other what's on our minds.

Especially if it's related to our Mafia.

"I think someone's keeping an eye on me," I admitted. "I wanted to make sure if he's following me that's why I wanted to go home."

Surprisingly, no one was behind our car when we were on our way to my mansion. "Probably the guests."

That made sense but . . .

"Ilang buwan ka nilang hindi nakita, I think may rason talaga sila para tignan ka." He added.

He has a point but I just think . . . something's off.

Like something's wrong.

"What if it's not them?" I looked at his eyes. "What if it's an assassin who wants to end me?"

Uncle Simon warned me about this.

When I announced that I will be getting married next year, my Uncle warned me that there might be a lot of shits around us in order to kill me.

In order to end my legacy.

But I still took the risk.

"Then, I will fucking kill whoever he is." He said in a tone full of determination and anger. "Hindi ko hahayaan na may manakit sa 'yo. I will make sure that he won't see another sunlight if he dares to lay a finger on you."

His jaw clenched.

a.n: axel naman kasi, wag maharot.
nagagalit tuloy 'tong isa HSHAHWAHSA.

trivia: ang reason kung bakit nagpadala
dati si vannie ng letter na nakasulat
sa ibang language ay para masiguro na sila-sila
lang ang makakabasa no'n.

kasi kapag mas mahirap basahin,
mas siguradong ligtas ang informations.
cos we never know kung may magtatangkang
kumuha or bumasa ng letter, 'di baaa?
