ALESSANDRO GAMBINO (The Black Sparrow Society) Chapter 39
Before Anton can say anything back, nagpaalam na siya sa kapatid nang marinig ang call waiting sa kabilang linya. He was hoping it was P. “Tell me you’re Pietra.”Napatawa ang lalaki sa kabilang linya. “I am Pietra.” Nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses ay nakahinga siya nang maluwag. “Rob.”“I am glad you still have your screws on. What’s going on with you, Gambino? It’s only been several hours.”“She promised me that she will call me as soon as you guys land.”“She couldn’t,” sagot nito sa kaniya.“Why not?”“His brother is here.” Inisip niya kung sino sa mga kapatid nito. “Lucian.”Si Lucian ang panganay na kapatid ni P, pero ano ang ginagawa nito sa New York? Ang alam niya, hindi ito lumalabas ng Italy madalas. Lucian’s timing is impeccable too. “He is here with a friend and they called just before the plane took off. Lucian was already there as soon as the door opened so none of us had the time to call you.”“But is she okay?”“Of course she’s okay. Why wouldn’t she?” He felt bet

Kung hindi pa nakatanggap ng tawag si Lucian ay baka napaamin na siya nito. Sinenyasan siya ni Lucian na matulog na at importante ang tawag na natanggap nito. Ang totoo, hindi niya alam kung paano sasabihin sa kapatid ang tungkol kay Ale. The expression he saw at his face when Lucian asked about the Gambino family was enough to send her shivers.Alam niya ang tungkol sa lumang kasunduan ng dalawang pamilya dahil sinabi sa kaniya iyon ng kanilang ama noong sumapit ang 18th birthday niya. However, it didn't stop her from looking for Ale and they found each other.The next morning when she woke up, Lucian was gone at maayos na nakatiklop ang blanket sa sofa. He left her a note on the coffee table at wala na rin doon ang mga tasang ininuman nila ng tsa kagabi. She picked up the note and read. You don't need to tell me his name— I already know. All that matters is that you're happy. Just know that if he hurts you in any way, I am going to break his face in more ways than one and no one wi

At The ModernShe arrived ten minutes early at the restaurant but the client was already there. The man is punctual. However, Philip Coulter seemed to be… too Italian with those dark eyes, olive skin and high cheekbones. Hindi nalalayo ang edad nito kay Ale.“Good afternoon, Ms. Profaci.” Tumayo ito mula sa silya nang dumating siya. It was the staff who ushered her in that pulled the chair for her. “Good afternoon, Sir.” Sinadya niyang huwag idagdag ang apelyido nito. He can’t be Philip Coulter like he claimed. She had time to get a good look at the database. Tinawagan niya ang isang IT na nirekomenda ng Ate Georgina niya noon. “I hope you don’t mind but I ordered for us.”“It’s fine. I am not very hungry anyway.” Only Ale can order food and other things for her and she won’t mind. “Still tired from the trip?” Hindi niya sinagot ito. “Steve told me you just landed yesterday and you’ve moved overseas. Philippines, right? My mom is a Filipina.”He was being extra friendly and that’s

“I am not expecting anything. I just really want to get your services with the house at Lexington.”“Good.” She took the table napkin and used it to wipe her lips. “Is there anything else you’d like to discuss?” Nang umiling si Alejandro ay kinuha niya ang pagkakataon na ‘yon para magpaalam.“So are you taking the job?”“If you agree to my terms, I just might.”“Spoken like a true Profaci.” She kept her poker face on. “Then state your terms. I’d like to hear them.”“First, never discuss nor involve anything personal with this job. I don’t care if Alessandro is your brother, you do not mention him to me. Today is the first and last day you’d talk to me about him. Second, I will prepare two designs and any changes will be discussed with me. However, I will not be here to supervise everyday once the renovations start. I can commit to a week per month. That’s my deal with the company and I am not changing it for you no matter how much you offer me. You and I both know that I do not need t

Hindi niya alam ang binabalak ng kapatid. P is amazing at what she does. However, Alejandro could have hired someone else to do the job. Imposible naman na si Gabriella ang may gustong kunin bilang interior designer si P. Malakas ang kutob niyang may binabalak ang kapatid niya at may kinalaman sa kaniya ang ginagawa nito. Nagpaalam na si P at pinatulog na siya pero heto at alas singko na ng umaga ay gising na gising pa rin ang kaniyang diwa. Hindi na siya makatulog kahit ano'ng gawin niya kaya pupuntahan niya si Taylor sa condo nito ng maaga. Doon na rin siya magkakape at bubulabugin niya ang kaibigan. He took his car keys and overnight bag that he prepared for the other day. Since it's still early, he didn't hit traffic and was there in less than twenty minutes. Usually, it's about a forty-five minute drive. "Ale?" Pupungas-pungas na bungad sa kaniya ni Tay. "What time is it?" Tinawagan niya ito nang makarating siya sa parking lot. Instead of buzzing him, he opted for a call to ma

TWO MONTHS LATERAle said he will be gone for the next two weeks and she won’t be able to contact him. She agreed to do the design for the Lexington home, but whether she will supervise the renovations is still in question.Umuwi siya ng Pilipinas at doon ginawa ang designs at maliban sa kulay at ilang minimal requests ay wala ng ibang pinabago ang mag-asawa. It’s mostly Gabriella who had comments. Although Gabriella was polite, she had a feeling that the woman dislikes her for some reason. “Son of a—“ Sumampa siya sa gutter at muntik na niyang masagasaan ang isang homeless sa kalye nang iwasan niya ang isang kotseng puti. Bigla itong nag-cut sa kaniya. It wasn’t a fancy car but the tint was so dark that she can barely see who’s driving. She is pretty sure it’s illegal. She chose to drive today while Magnus followed her using a different car. Si Rob ay inutusan niya na mag-grocery dahil wala na silang stocks.“Are you okay?” Magnus immediately checked on her. His voice sounded muffl

Hindi niya alam kung paano natapos ang lunch na 'yon. The whole time, all she did was listen and nod. It was not like her to be quiet. Gabriella seemed to be enjoying the moment. Kwento ito ng kwento tungkol kay Ale at sa pamilya Gambino— how they treat her like a princess and... how they love her. Si Alejandro ang pumalit sa pwesto ng ama at isa na itong Don. At si Gabriella, bilang asawa ng isang Don ay may importans'ya. But she doesn't care about that. Ang gumugulo sa isip niya ay ang sinabi nito tungkol kay Ale. Inakala nito na ang boyfriend niya ang magpupursue rito. However, didn't Ale say he's not interested with her when they bumped into each other at the park for the first time? Ang araw na 'yon ay parehong araw na tumungo sila sa Pilipinas. It was around that time that the Gambino family was celebrating Alejandro and Gabriella's union. After lunch, she went back to the office pero hindi na siya sumabay kay Gabriella. Magnus was there to drive her anyway at out of the way a

She just got out of her bedroom when she heard the knock. Nang sumilip siya sa peephole ay si Magnus ang naroon kaya pinagbuksan niya ito ng pinto. Dinala nito sa casa ang sasakyan niya kanina at hindi pa niya alam kung ano ang extent ng damage. But that can fixed, mas worried siya na malaman ng kapatid niya ang nangyari o kaya naman ay ni Ale. Siguradong magdedemand ang kuya niya na umuwi siya ng Italy for safety. "They have replaced your car with the same make and model while they're fixing yours." Inabot ni Magnus ang susi sa kaniya. "Thanks. You didn't tell my brother about what happened, right?" "Did you want him to know?" Napangiwi siya. "I was thinking about giving him a report when he called at noon. You were out for lunch with the Gambino woman." "I'm glad you didn't. Please don't tell him what happened. I don't want him to worry about it. He has a lot on his plate already and I think it was just some freak who didn't have anything better to do." "Should we tell Alessa
