Cosa Nostra Heiress

Nangunot ang noo ko nang masulyapan ang matandang lalaki na may bilugang katawan na papalapit sa amin ni Daddy. Nakasuot ito ng magarang suit at may hawak na tungkod na sumusuporta sa paika-ika nitong paglalakad na dulot ng katandaan. Bali-balita na biyudo na ang nasabing lalaki. "You will marry him," my father gestured his hand toward him. Is Dad really serious? Ang akala ko pa naman ay ipakikilala niya na ako bilang susunod na leader ng Dayron Organization kaya niya ako inutusang maghanda para sa party na ‘to—pero nagkamali ako. "No, I won't. Dad naman!" mariin kong sambit sa kanya. "Nakikita mo ba ang agwat ng edad naming dalawa?" inis kong dagdag. "It doesn’t matter. The most important thing is saving our business," pangangatwiran nito.

"We'll be going to have your training today as promised," he added before he left me here in the living room. Pumunta na agad ako sa kusina at pagkarating ko doon ay nagulat ako dahil iba't-ibang masasarap na pagkain ang nakahain sa mesa.

Ronald decided to take me out and take me to the restaurant which was owned by one of his associates. His associate took us inside without people in the restaurant getting suspicious and drawing attention to us. Inside, there's also a table and chair just like how it appears outside. "I have organized this and asked him to make this for you," said Ronald, smiling. "I'm sorry if I wasn't the one who made this, I was just busy dealing with my personal stuff," he explained and planted a kiss at the top of my forehead. "It's okay, I understand," I replied.
