My Beautiful Nightmare (Mafia Series: Book 3)

PROLOGUE

"Where are we going daddy?" I asked innocently to my father who is currently driving our car somewhere.

I was sitting on the backseat, with my mother who looked very happy and excited. She was caressing my hair and I saw my mother and father's eyes met with love and devotion to each other. I can't help but to smile with them.

"We're going to your Tita Linda's house for vacation baby!" Masayang saad ni Mommy. Agad na nanlaki ang aking mga mata at napayakap sa kanya.

"Really Mommy?! Then am I going to see my cousins?!" I exclaimed excitedly. This would be the first time I'll be meeting my other relatives. I was excited, at last, mararanasan ko na rin ang magkaroon ng kalaro. I was an only child, I was always forbidden to go out and play. Having an idea to play with my cousins excites me.

"Yes baby. " nakangiting saad ni mommy. She really has an angelic smile and no wonder my father really loves her.

And I never thought that would be the last time I would be able to see that angelic smile.

"SHIT!" I heard my father cursed loudly.

Isang iglap lang ay nakarinig ako ng malakas na tunog, saglit na nagdilim ang aking paningin, my world was literally spinning around as I felt pain in different parts of my body.

The next thing I knew, I was lying helplessly on a cold ground as I stare at my mother's eyes, they were looking back at me with tears flowing down from those precious eyes.

I can't move even the tip of my fingers, all I could do was to move my eyes just to saw my father crawling towards us, bloody and weak.

I was too young to understand what's happening, I'm just a 6 year old kiddo, innocent and weak. I managed to gain strength and tried to reach for my mother's hand, she wasn't moving anymore. She was looking at me, but her once was precious warm eyes were cold now, and lifeless.

I'm young and innocent but smart enough to know that this is a nightmare.

"M-m-mommy..." I whispered, I started crying but my chest hurts like hell.

Napapikit ako sa isang maliwanag na ilaw na nanggagaling sa isang sasakyan. I blinked my eyes thrice to adjust my eyes from the brightness. Someone just stepped down outside the car and he walked closer to us.

Our eyes met, but just when I thought I'd seen hope, I was wrong. He was smirking, devilishly. He kneeled infront of my father and pointed a gun at his forehead.

"At last, napatay rin kitang hayop ka." He was grinning. I was staring at his face the whole time, my mouth hanged open, I wanted to scream but my chest hurts like hell, I couldn't do it.

"P-p-please..... N-not.... M-my... D-daughter." Rinig kong bulong ng aking ama. I couldn't do anything but to cry silently from fear and anger.

The man laughed hysterically.

"Of course. I would let your daughter live and let her suffer for the rest of her life, carrying with her the nightmare that I'm about to show her, tonight."

Without second thoughts, he pulled the trigger. My heart stopped beating for a moment, my world literally crashed down right infront of my eyes.

Right at this moment, I just wanted that man to end my life too. Without them, where am I supposed to go? How am I supposed to live? The man, with an evil smirk started walking towards me, and carried me in his arms.

He put me in the car and drive somewhere I didn't know where. As much as I want to complain and scream, I can't.

I could already feel the darkness that was starting to corrupt my system.
