The Heiress' Downfall (COMPLETED)

Chapter 28

TW: Violence

***

Dressed in a sleek black spaghetti strap dress, reaching mid-thigh with a daring slit on the right leg, I paired it with shimmering silver pumps. The dress features a revealing backless design and a plunging v-neck, showcasing most of my skin. Completing the look, I adorned myself with a triangular dangling earring and a choker, while a swipe of red lipstick added a final touch of allure. My hair, no longer dyed ash blonde, has been dyed black, embracing its natural color.

Running my fingers over the ink tattooed on my forearm, the words "...and then I rise" elegantly scripted in cursive, I reflected on the other tattoos adorning my body – one beneath my breast and an unalome symbol gracing my spine.

Tinitigan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. May gauze na nakadikit sa braso ko dahil sa daplis ng bala ni Xenon sa akin. Nang makuntento ay nagpasya na akong lumabas at bumaba.

The boys are there, sitting and waiting for me patiently. They're wearing their usual clubbing outfit that looks hot on them. I always loved their patience towards me. Kahit minsan ay hindi sila nainis kapag natatagalan ako sa pag aayos.

They stood up in unison when they saw me. Nakanganga pa si Dark kaya hinawakan ko ang baba niya para isara ang bibig niya.

"Mapasukan ng langaw." Nilapitan ko si Death at agad siyang humalik sa pisngi ko.

"Damn. Our girl is gorgeous," saad nito.

I scanned his body. "Likewise." Natawa sila dahil sa ikli ng sinabi ko.

Sa tagal naming magkakasama sanay na sanay na sila sa ugali ko kahit sobrang layo nito sa nakasanayan nila.

"Wag nalang kaya tayo tumuloy," Phantom suddenly said.

Tumango naman si Midnight. "Men would be gawking at our girl. Hindi ako payag doon."

"Mga gago," natawa ako at umiling.

Tonight is our first mission na buo kami. Finally, Death had decided to be back on service. We just had to kill the drug syndicate tonight. But I guess, magiging mahirap dahil kailangan namin siyang patayin nang walang ibang makakatunog o makaka alam.

Whatever. Kahit pa giitan ko ito ng leeg sa harap ng maraming tao, wala akong pake. But our agency has to hide in shadows and our mission is to kill in silence. Wala dapat makakaalam kung sino at ano kami.

We reached the venue. Tig iisang sasakyan ang gamit nila pero ako, kay Death ako sumabay. Sa labas palang ng hotel ay agad akong napakurap. This hotel is owned by Hera-- my youngest cousin.

"The bar is located on the highest floor," Death muttered when he opened the door for me. "Pwede bang ihulog nalang ang sindikato mula sa taas?" I laughed at his question.

"That would be really really disgusting. Imagine his body scattered on the road. Yuck," saad ko at natawa siya.

"What's disgusting for you, Des? As far as I know, giniitan mo sa leeg ang asawa ni Yapchangco. That's more disgusting. Hindi ko ata kaya 'yon," his body trembled as if he's disgusted.

"Silly," tinulak ko ang pisngi niya. Nang maka baba ang tatlo mula sa mga sasakyan nila, sabay sabay kami naglakad papasok sa hotel.

Death intertwined his hand with mine. People are turning their heads toward us like we are some sort of celebrity. I can't blame them. My boys are too damn good not to be noticed. We walked with our head high, na para bang wala kaming sasantuhin-- which is true.

We're ruthless. We kill without hesitation. We kill for the people. We kill for our loved ones.

We entered the elevator. No one dared to join us inside the lift. Nang maisara ang pinto ng elevator, humagalpak sa tawa si Dark at Midnight. Umirap nalang ako dahil lagi naman silang may sapak sa utak.
