Searching for the Mafia Heiress (Sequel)

18

Crystal's POV

"Babe? What's the problem?" Tumingin ako kay Cullen.

"Nothing. I'm not feeling well." Pagdadahilan ko. Simula kahapon, simula noong umamin ako kila Dad, sumama na ang pakiramdam ko. Pakiramdam ko hindi ako mapapatawad ni Dad. Because of me, Cyrus nearly died.

"Not feeling well? Would you like to go to the clinic? I'll go with you." Umiling ako. I just want to think and to be alone.

"Mawawala rin 'to mamaya. I just need to take a nap. Sorry."

"But the teacher's already coming, you'll still take a nap?"

"Yes. Tell her I'm not feeling well." Bumuntong hininga siya kaya ipinatong ko na ang noo ko sa desk.

I didn't even say sorry to Cyrus. I didn't even say sorry to my parents, to my family. I didn't even express my true feelings to them. That's all because I'm afraid. Afraid to be judged. Afraid to be hated. Afraid to feel alone, well, being alone is a bit too much.

Ngumuso ako at saka umayos ng upo. I glanced at Chase and Craig. They fought because of my sister. Pumutok ang gilid ng labi at dumudugo pa ang pisngi at noo. Tsk!

Ilang beses nang napahamak at nadamay si Chase. Even Courtney, she's been given a right to fight Zero in the first place because Zero thought that I am her. Even Cyrus.

What can I do? Ayoko nang madamay pa ang ibang pamilya ko at si Cullen. Why did I make this worse? Muli akong yumuko sa desk at saka ipinikit ang mga mata ko.

"Good morning." They greeted the teacher back while I didn't.

"Mr. Imperial and Mr. Park, are you okay? You two seemed to have a fight." Lumingon ako sa kanila at napayuko lamang sila bilang sagot.

"You can go to the clinic. It seems that Ms. Emmanuelle don't want to see both of you for the mean time." Napatingin ako sa kapatid ko na iritado ang mukha. Sino ba namang hindi maiirita?

"I'll stay, I can treat myself." Nakangiting sagot ni Chase.

"Me too." Pagsang-ayon ni Craig.

"Okay then. Let's begin with our new lesson." Hindi na ako nakinig pa sa kanya at saka yumuko nalang ulit.

"You fine?" Napatingin ako sa Kuya ko habang nakayuko parin. Nababagot akong tumango at napairap lang siya.

Calyxe's POV

I glanced at Courtney. I smirked when I saw irritation on her face.

"What?" Mataray niyang tanong kaya mas lalong lumaki ang ngisi ko.

"You're ugly." Mahinang sabi ko at nakita ko ang mabilis na pagbabago ng reaksyon niya.

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you."

"Who says I'm joking? I'm telling the hundred percent truth."

"Shut up now, Calyxe." She called me only by my name, so, she's really not in the mood. So, I turned to face the board.

Chase and Craig is starting a war to win my sister's heart. What the heck? They even fought at the field. Do they even know what Courtney's business is? Courtney is a member of an organization. Mafia.

I am also a member there, the same with Crystal. While Cyrus is still undergoing training for the membership of that organization.

Courtney have the highest rank and rate for almost two and a half years. And I can tell that she's becoming a pro in fighting. She's cold but she's not that cold lately, maybe because of Chase? I salute her for having the highest rank and rate despite her heart problems.
