Disguise as a Nerd

Chapter 14: The Truth

Claire's POV

Tumayo na si Amber matapos si Daisynel. Bumalik naman ang huli sa pagiging isip bata nang umupo na ito sa kanyang upuan.

Amber looked at us coldly before sighting. She looks like she was trying to calm her self. "My name is Amber Anne Lee" She said while bowing. "I am a product of a one night stand and my mother is a prostitute." She's a what again? What? "When dad knew me, he tried to take me but mom tries to sell me in a very unbelievable price." Napailing pa ito na parang pati siya ay hindi na rin makapaniwala.

"Dad didn't want mom to have money since he thinks that mom is a gold digger, which she is. So he killed her instead." She shrugged. "I am the mafia dutches and dad is now the mafia duke. Claire's dad knew us, he's just a great pretender."

M-my Dad? Knew amber? How come? Why didn't I notice this before? I mastered reading people's body languages and all those shitty stuff and I didn't even know any of these?

Then what are my trainings for? Design? I can't even recognize if my teamates are true to me or not! Now how could I handle this situation?

Gosh. Im being stressed again. Im overthinking. I should relax. No! I can't.

Nakatanga lang kami kay Amber na bumalik na sa upuan.

Shit. No wonder she's silent. Maybe it's because of her dark past. Her identity revelation really shocked me. But...

She's also a mafia? We're almost alike?

Holyshit. This is really crazy. Somebody, take me out of this madness.

Tumayo naman si Lhizelle. Maybe to introduce herself as well.

"Lhizelle Mae Agono. Im the daughter of sheriline Gomez and Luke Agono." She sighted. "A-and I just recently find out that I'm adopted." Napasinghap kami. So all along she doesn't know? How bad is that? "And by the way, just to inform all of you I have amnesia and I cant remember any memories starting from when I am eleven years old until I'm 15 years old. Im drinking medications and those shits are not helping." She told us using her cold unerving eyes.

Lhizelle was my right hand, in battle underworld or in real life. So knowing this information makes me pity--

"Oh, and also, I don't need pity. Just treat me like nothing happened, okay?"

We nood. Damn, Why am I becoming a softy all of a sudden? Is it because of my slavery in Ikoy's house?

Yes, me being slave is done. So as my members. But I didn't even collect any information. Neither anything that I could use agaist our enemies.

But I gather something. Something that I didn't know I'll get. Something that I don't want but given to me.

Feelings..

Yes, Im learning to cope but, Im starting to have emotions and such.

I don't know what he had done to me but, one thing for sure. Im beggining to-

Nope. Not going there.

Amber's POV

Nanginginig ako nang bumalik ako sa upuan. It's my first time actually confessing my past without having an anxiety attack.

Luiesa tapped my shoulder and I looked at her. She gave me a ressuring smile "Don't worry, we won't judge you. We accept all of you the moment we let you in the gang" she smiled again. And I nodded. The sentence tugged my heart.

She comforted me more but I didn't let myself to mute the sound I am hearing.

I am after all, the dutches of the mafia world. I am trained to have sharp senses and all those shits.
