Chapter 11
Mission
- Matthew
"Fine, I'll accept the mission." Naiirita kong sabi.
This stupid organization... but I have no choice.
"Let them go." Utos ko sa mistress.
"Of course, commander. Just do your job, okay? Make her fall in love with you... then boom! Ruthlessly break her heart! Isn't that nice?" she laughed mischievously.
"What is this for? Why her?" naguguluhan kong tanong habang inaalis ang tali sa palapulsuhan ko.
"Revenge... but it's none of your business. Only the mission is your business, okay?" she tapped my shoulder before leaving.
It was fucking hard. Accepting that goddamn 'mission' was wrong. Whenever I see her, I always feel guilty... but I can't risk them. Not them.
Black Diamond, the syndicates, broke inside the university. It was easy for them to enter, I knew it.
They planted bombs, in exchange for Catherine. They wanted the youngest Cuerte... the heiress.
But instead of giving her up to them, I made her safe. I had the key for the emergency gate. I let her stay outside.
I would never give her to them... I would never give her up.
Hindi ako pumayag na magpakita siya sa kanila. Worst could happen. Besides, I knew they were just threatening them, because of me.
"I told you, do your fucking job!" the Mistress hit my face with her palm. Napagilid ang mukha ko sa lakas ng sampal niya. My jaw clenched while looking at her, but I remained calm. Being violent is the last thing I wanted right now.
She should be thankful I still have an ounce of respect for her, even if she doesn't deserve to be respected.
"Just give me a little bit of time. This will be a mission accomplished." I lied.
Because I would never do that. I could never.

- Catherine
"Oh my god." napatakip ako ng bibig sa gulat. "I'm sorry... gosh. How is she right now?"
"My mother updated me earlier, and she said that she's still unconscious." He sighed and leaned to the bed's headboard. "I wanted to go home so bad."
"You should." I gave him a smile and caressed his cheek. "Your family needs you."
