My Lover is the Son of a Mafia Leader

The dress was white as the first snow with a thin waistline and a flowing skirt that was sure to fan around me if I twirled. 

The neckline didn't plunge, but rather showed off my breasts in an elegant manner, I paired it with my birthstone necklace, aquamarine. The rest of the gown flowed elegantly along my body, ending laces. 

However, I noticed something weird. The heart-shaped necklace that helps Uncle to track us is inside my drawer. I didn't wear it noong pumunta ako sa bahay nila Jake. 

How did he track me then? Paano nya nalaman kung nasaan ako? I don't want to suspect him, but is there another way for him to find out where I was? Was I being followed or something? I rubbed my temples, I decided to ignore it. 

I just finished my make up when Anthony knocked on my door. I didn't say anything and let himself in after 3 knocks. 

He stood by my doorway and lean against it and he watched me as I try to fix my hair. I can see him watching me from my vanity mirror. 

"Are you really wearing that?" he asked. 

I didn't look at him, diretso lang ang tingin ko sa salamin kahit hindi ako komportable sa mga tingin ni Anthony. Galit pa rin ako sa ginawa nya. 

He dragged me outside Jake's house like I'm some child who needs punishment. I can still feel his grip on my arm. 

"Don't give me the silent treatment, Sky" 

"Yeah, if you weren't such an ass then maybe walang silent treatment sayo" 

He sighed and checked his watch. Alam kong late na kami, aminado naman ako na kasalanan ko rin naman. Ayaw na ayaw pa naman ni Uncle sa mga taong late. 

"I'm just protecting you from those people, Skyla" ani nya. 

"Protecting? Why am I in danger when you got there? Na-kidnap ba ako? Inabuso ba ako?" I half-shouted at him. I really don't get mad at Anthony but tonight he's being a major ass. 

"What I'm trying to say is that you never know, maybe they're already taking advantage of you already." halos ibagsak ko ang suklay sa sinabi ni Anthony at lalo akong naiinis sa kanya. 

"Taking advantage? How do you know? Ahh.." tinignan ko sya saglit mula sa salamin. I stared at him "it takes one to know one, right?" 

I bit my lower lip, am I too harsh? I almost regretted what I said but then he spoke: "So are you into younger boys now?" I didn't miss the mockery on his tone. 

I looked at him sharply from my vanity mirror, finished fixing my earrings and walked towards him, huminto ako sa harap nya and glared at him. Wala akong pakealam kung mas matangkad sya sa akin, now that I stand before him I realized how handsome he looked tonight. 

But it's all gone the moment he decided to be an ass today. Nilagay ko ang kamay ko sa bewang ko and I looked at him straight in the eyes "If I wear this dress, it's none of your business. If I'm into younger boys tho I'm not, it's none of your business. I'm driving alone. I'll see you there." 

Minsan lang kaming mag-away ni Anthony at sa minsanang iyon ay matagal din kami bago magka-ayos. Pero sa tingin ko sa away na ito ay mukhang matagal pa bago kami magkaka-ayos.

This year's Charity Ball is held at Grand Pavillion Hotel. This place is really popular for events and gatherings, the most influential people held their parties here. It's 7:30 when I arrived at the location, people here are dressed in their most beautiful gowns and suits.
