The Game Changer (Mafia Families #2)

Chapter 42: The Bait

L’s Pov

Nakatitig si Tyler kay Camie. Halata sa mukha nito na di parin siya makapaniwala sa nakikita niya. Who would’ve expect na yung tahimik at mahiyain na si Grace ay nagpapanggap lang pala. Kahit ako ay hindi rin makapaniwala at ang hindi ko rin inakala ay magkapatid sila ni Dwight. That only proves how long they have been watching us. Who were they and who is Prime? Why would Prime send someone to protect me and Carrie?

Naalala ko ang nangyari noon sa gym nung una kong nalaman na sina Tyler ay pinabantay ni shin sakin, Si Grace yungunang nahimataya ng we all thought that she was innocent. Turned out she is a great pretender. Base sa mga nanagyari ng mga nakaraang araw ay masasabi kong mga magagaling sila and no one even noticed they were watching us but if oit wasn’t for them ay baka napatay na akmi ni Vadim sa villa.

Yung nakita ko noon nung insidente sa gathering ay si Iry talaga. Maybe if they weren’t there I may have already died. Still, I won’t trust them completely. Nothing is free, they may have other motives in helping us.

“I’m sorry Tyler pero hindi ito oras para sa mga personal na bagay,” sabi ni Grace at  may hinilang lalaki a pinaluhod niya sa harapan namin. Kahit nakatali na yung paa at kamay nito ay tinutukan niya aprin ito ng baril sa likod. The gag on his mouth was removed and the man smiled at us.

Napangisi si Florence. “ How does it feel to be on the other end of the gun huh, Fang?”

“You won’t get anything from me.” Sabi nito at biglang parang nagtaka ang mukha.

“Looking for this?” tanong ni Dwight at may pinakitang maliit na kulay itim na pill. He let the pill fall on the floor and crushed it with his shoe.

“Truly a mercenary. Choosing death over being a prisoner.” Nakangisi nalang sabi ni Marigold. “Sa hirap ba naman ng paghuli sayo. Sa tingin mo hawak mo pa ang buhay mo?”

“You think it makes a difference na nahuli niyo ko?” tawang tawa na sabi ni Fang na para bang nababaliw na habang napatingin kay Florence. “And you. Traitor. Will regret your decision.”

Nagkibit balikat lang si Florence and laughed it off. “I guess traitor is now my second name huh, Bakit ba sa tuwing nalalaman ang isa sa pagkato ko ay tinatawag akong trador? People are just too judgmental these days.”

“O sadyang di ka lang mapagkakatiwalaan.” Komento naman ni Carrie and gave him a ‘it’s your fault’ look.

“You’re breaking my heart Carrie. Hindi ko naman kasalanan na ang galling ko sa misyon ko. Right Rees?” naptingin siya kay Iry na napabuntong hininga lang,

“Joke all you want and enjoy it while you still can. Bilang nalang ang oras niyo.” Fang laughed again like a psycho. “Ipagdasal niyo lang na hindi kayo mahuhuli ni Vulture. Frey, Faust and Digger. Once he catches you, you’d wish you are dead.”

“We know why you’re here Fang. Why Vulture sent you here.” Mahinang sabi ni Iry na yung nakarinig lang ay yung malapit sakanya. She added something that sounded Italian but I wasn’t able to hear all of it.

“So you know.” Fangs gaze wandered across the people in the room at his eyes stopped at one particular person. A creepy smile appeared on his face.

“You think they can help you? Sei segnato, Brianna De Luca. Non puoi sfuggirlo."

Biglang napaatras si Bree na gulat na gulat nag mukha. Nanginginig ang kamay nito at nakatitig lang kay Fang. She tried to look strong but I can see the fear in her eyes. “I don’t know what youa re saying.”

“Get him away from my sister.” Galit na sabi ni Vance and stood in front of Brianna to hide her from Fang.

Tumawa lang si Fang habang napatingin namns akin sina Grey. Umiling ako. No harm was done at sa nangyayari ay halatang may hindi pa sinasabi ang mga De Luca. I can’t protect them if they are lying to me.
