Naughty Vengeance

Chapter 15

YUMIKO

My feet automatically stopped the moment I stepped inside our house. Something changed but I can't seem to put my finger on it. Lumalim ang gatla sa noo ko nang mapansin ko ang mga kasambahay, they don't look familiar to me at all!

"Niall—" he cut me off

"Your house feels weird." biglang sabi nito

Kahit siya ay napansin ang pagbabago sa bahay namin.

Inis na napabuga ako ng hangin at walang pag-aalinlangan na inatake ang kasambahay na pinakamalapit. I made sure to attack lightly.

"Yumiko! What are you doing?" gulat na tanong ni Niall

A smirk formed in my face when she nonchalantly evaded my attack. Tumayo ako ng tuwid at malamig na tinignan ang kasambahay sa harapan ko na magalang na yumukod.

"Unfamiliar faces. Light footsteps. Fast reflexes. You must be one of those shinobis from my mom's maternal family." malamig na sabi ko

Shinobi are covert agents from Japan. The military power of my mother is immeasurable. She came from a family of soldiers in South Korea who always have a respected background in military prowess. The respected military generals and lieutenants came from their family, even my mother who seemed to be the youngest general in her time.

Then her maternal family from Japan, my grandmother came from a prominent noble family, a descendant of the pure-blooded royal family rather. They also hold the military power not to mention the skilled shinobis who are sent to protect the royal family. They are family that holds the greatest power second to the royal family.

Mom cut her ties to all her family on both sides when she married my biological father who looks like a peasant to them. She gave up her military rank when she got pregnant with us out of wedlock, then she got married with my biological father.

Did she reconcile with her maternal family? Ang alam ko ay hindi naging maganda ang relasyon niya sa mga kamag-anak niya mula nang ipagbuntis niya kami.

"I'm sorry that you discovered us, milady. I will improve my skills." magalang na sabi nito

Napahilot ako sa sentido ko. I don't even know what's happening anymore. Hinila ko si Niall papunta sa dining room at parang nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang makitang nandoon ang mga dati naming kasambahay. Hindi ko pa nakikita si Manang kaya sigurado akong nasa labas siya kasama ang pasaway na lolo ko.

"Your family is really something." natatawang sabi ni Niall nang sabihin ko sa kanya ang tungkol kay mommy

"I've never met my mom's relatives, so I'm not sure how to react in any of these." I said bitterly

Sabay kaming lumingon ni Niall sa bungad ng dining room. Sakto ang dating nila mommy dahil kakahain lang ng mga pagkain. Mabilis na kumilos ang mga kasambahay at dinagdagan ang plato sa lamesa.

My forehead knotted when I saw an unfamiliar man who resembles my mother. He looks a few years older that mom. My mom is talking to him in Japanese and dad is laughing on her side. I never knew dad can understand Japanese.

"Anak!" gulat na sabi ni mommy nang mapansin niya kami

"Oh, Niall, too!" nakangiting sabi niya ulit

The unfamiliar guy smiled elegantly at me. His eyes are like mine and mom's, a typical Japanese eye.

"Anak, Niall, introduce yourselves." nakangiting sabi ni dad

Tumayo kami agad ni Niall at lumapit sa kanila. I smiled at him but didn't look directly at his eyes for so long. It's rude for them to look at them directly in their eyes especially when they're older or superior than you.
