I'm married to a Mafia boss?

Chapter 25: Secret

Ilang araw na ako hindi nagpapakita kay Van, kasi una kinakalma ko muna yung sarili ko. Para kalamhain yun, sumasama ako sa operations nila Estavo ng palihim. Nililibang ko yung sarili ko sa ibang issues.

May small gathering dito sa bahay nila China, nandito sina Estavo at yung groupo. Parents ko din nandito na, pinilit akong sumama kahit wala nga ako sa mood harapin si China. So far, muka namang wala si Van.

"Himala, hindi ata kasama ng hari yung prinsesa niya" tumabi na naman si China.

May groupo ng mga lalaki ang pumasok sa loob, mga muka silang masasama na tao. Kaya naman tumabi ako kay Xander, mamaya ano pa gawin nila sa akin. Di naman sa nag ju-judge ako pero nakaktakot sila. Si Xander nakahawak sa baril niya.

"Phoenix Clan, brother group ng Xanus"

Tumigil yung mga lalaki sa harap ni Matteo kaya ako naman nagtago sa likod ni Xander. Sa likod nila may matandang lumabas and all of them made way and his face looks really familiar.

"Im so sorry Hija..." he covered my face. Hinawakan nang isa pang bata yung kamay ko at niyakap ako para hindi ko makita kung paano patayin ang lola ko.

Patuloy din ang pagiyak niya dahil nanay niya naman ang pinapatay nila. I can hear their screams and I saw my grandmother's face.

Filled with bruises and blood...

"Kien, ayos ka lang?" Tanong ni Xandy.

Nanghina ako and I couldn't control myself I grabbed Xander's gun at unti-unting tinutok ito sa ulo nung matanda. Wala akong paki kung lahat sila nakatingin sa akin, after what he did to my lola. To the person who raised me, all I can feel is anger and rage. I've been waiting for this moment.

"Kien!" Sigaw nila sa likod dahil lahat ng mga lalaki algad niya tinutukan na ako ng baril.

Nakatingin din ako sa kanya while him, he's smiling.

"You asshole, murderer"

"All of us in this place are"

"You're a devil!" Natigilan siya.

"Y-You... You're..." mukang namukaan niya na ako. He told his men to put down their gun pero bago pa man nila gawin yun, Somebody pulled me away from the man.

Dinala ako nung tao na humila sa akin sa likod. I hugged him, kahit di ko pa nakikita yung muka niya and cried, cried a lot. Napaupo kami dalwa dahil hindi niya ako matahan.

"Kiersten, tahan na..."

Van? Tumingala ako. And it's Van.

I hugged him tight and cried out loud, not minding the people that are surrounding us. Umupo siya and I just cried on his chest.

"I was looking for you..."

"Mmm"

"I know why you are crying. But you have to be strong, Kiersten. We cannot take them down if you act irrationally. Every step we take we should think about it. I'll kill them for you, but I'll do it slowly, okay?"

"Mmm"

I couldn't talk because all I can do is cry.

"Don't cry I'm here..."

Vans arms are safest place I could ever go.

"Are you going back home?"

"Mmm"

He hugged me tight and kissed my forehead, the kiss that I want. The kiss that I long for.

Van calmed me kaya I collected myself and the party went on, I went inside again hand in hand with Van.
