Protecting The Mafia Queen

Chapter 19

Andrew's POV

Diaz's dinner night continuation...

"Where will you put me then?" Allen asked.

I smirked. I can't believe he agreed. Well, what's new? He always falls into dad's trap.

"You will be in charge of our vineyard in Italy" Dad answered.

"Okay. Just give me a week to prepare myself and tell this to Miss Empress" he said and left.

Dad sighed in relief, "Finally" he mumbled as he happily continued the meal.

"You're happy"

"Of course I am" he answered without any hesitation.

"Is it because he will no longer be a hindrance to your plans?" I asked that made him stop.

"What did you say?"

Hindi na ako sumagot pa at kinuha ang envelope sa bulsa ko tsaka tinapon sa harap niya.

"What is that?" He asked again.

"Look for yourself"

He then hurriedly opened the envelope and looked at the pictures one by one.

And then, unexpectedly, he laughed.

"You got me, son! I don't know how or where you got this but I'm so proud of you" I looked at him with confusion.

I just caught him betraying the mafia but why he's still delighted and proud?

"You're not afraid?"

"Isusumbong mo ba ako?"

I was stunned.

He's my father. Is that enough for me not to report him? Is that why he's okay with me knowing he's a traitor?

"Look, you can't blame me. They killed your mom. The Walters killed--"

"No. She died in a car accident. It was an accident, Dad" I inserted.

"And you believe them? That's what they told us but the truth is they killed her!" He exclaimed.

He looked at me while clenching his fist and both of his eyes are red because of anger. "They can still save her but they left her and let her die! That's what they did!"

"I'm sorry. I-I don't know" ang tanging nasabi ko nalang.

Kinalma naman niya muna ang sarili niya saka muling nagsalita. "It's okay, just forget that this ever happened-"

"No, dad. How can I forget this? Tell me, what can I do to help you"

"Andrew, it's too dangerous for you-"

"Dad, please." I insisted.

"Okay."

"I won't fail you, Dad"
