Chapter 32 - The Countdown

Yvonne~

Tonight is the fight, everyone had been waiting for. It is again the battle between us; the Flaming Five Gang, versus the Royale Prince Gang, that excite the crowd the most... but not me and my boys.

Ever since malaman namin mula kay Darren na sigurado siyang may hindi magandang mangyayari tonight in the final battle, everyone had been attentive in our surroundings; na para bang malinga lang kami ay may bantang nag-iintay sa amin... most specifically sa akin. They’ve been so protective at me, at literal na hindi ako pinapakilos mag-isa, even in my own penthouse.

Natapos na rin kaming mag-imbestiga nila Arron, Darren and Daphney sa nangyari pag-atake noon sa arena kasama ang RPG, and guess what we had? The attack was planned and its goal was just to play dirty with the RPG, the Flaming Five and especially me.

One more thing, we found out that I was in danger...

...in a really grave danger.

We don’t know why, but all the attacks, all the threats, were related to me. Gosh, in demand na talaga ata ako pagdating sa mga ganito, that’s why bantay na bantay ni Arron at Bloodlust Gang ang buong arena at ang magaganap na Black Cage Fight namin ng RPG mamaya.

“This is the first time I saw you this anxious in a fight, my Rosey. What’s wrong?” tanong ni Vince, na kampanteng nakahilata sa long couch ko sa aking GS empress’ office.

Hindi ko napigilang magngitngit ng aking bagang  bago samaan ng tingin si Vince. I’m really trying my best as I cover my anxiousness about tonight, and well, life’s full of shit and it still show somewhat in my actions, “Shut up, Vince. I’m not in the mood”, I replied lowly, then I saw him shrugged before I turn my back at him. Aurgh, jerk.

I reached for my favorite golden 50AE Desert Eagle pistol from my office desk drawer and loaded a couple of bullets into its magazine, “Whoa! It’s been a long time since I saw your goldie, Rose!” turan ni Kyle, “I never thought you’ll be using it tonight... this fight will certainly be flashy”, dagdag nito na nagpangisi sa’kin.

This gun was originally given by my late husband, Russel, as a wedding gift. I treasure this a lot because this has been one of the things Russel took care of for a long time... and ever since he died, I seldom use it at all.

“Maybe, this’ll give me good luck for tonight”, simpleng sambit ko habang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa hawak kong baril, “Oh! Nah... I don’t need any luck, I knew will win the top spot again this year”, mayabang kong dagdag, greatly covering all the stricken thoughts for tonight.

“And that’s our Rose!” galak na pangangatyaw ni Jane habang pumapalakpak pa, napapailing na lang si Daphney habang ngiting-ngiti si Kyle.

“Freak”, I murmured.

“Hey, I heard that Rose!” Jane exclaimed.

“It was meant to, freaky fan” I teased, which made Jane pout, “Freaky duckling fan. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!” I added as I shook my head, which made Jane sulk even more, “You bully”, she said.

And the boys laughed their ass off.

Ping!~

Napalingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng tunog, it’s a notification which tells us to be ready for the fight within five minutes, we all stood up and I said, “I guess we better go, Freaks” before walking through the door.

“Hey!”

“I thought Jane was the frea –ow!”
