After that long, wild ride last night, I found myself covered with a black blanket wrapped around my body as I slept in his arms, my hand resting on his chest. His face looked so innocent as he slept peacefully.

Naramdaman kong gumalaw siya at gumawa ng tunog kaya mabilis kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko. Narinig ko ang malalim niyang paghinga. Pagmulat ko ng mga mata ko, napansin kong nakapikit na siya kaya dahan-dahan akong bumangon. Pero hinila niya ako pabalik hanggang sa nakita kong iminulat niya ang mga mata niya.

"Going somewhere?" nakangiti niyang tanong at inihiga ako ulit sa kanya.

He gently tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. "Just making sure you were still here," I murmured, my breath caught in my throat at the longing in his eyes.

"You really do?" he asked, my heart skipping a beat at the longing in his eyes. He couldn't take his eyes off me, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a gradual, heartwarming smile.

"I am," I breathed, as his fingertip traced the cur

  • Cosa Nostra Heiress   Chapter 67

    Ronald's informants had notified him that my father was doing everything to find me. He even said that my father was trying to impose a threat to our lives. Well, he doesn't need to do that because he's been the biggest threat in our lives for a very long time. The rest of the operations will be handled by our mobsters and the assassins.It's actually been years since he haunted me like this, just for money. Some of what he did still replays in my mind, over and over again. Ronald is the only one who can make me feel calm and safe.Nakita ko ang mga kasambahay na naglilinis dito sa attic. May isang kama lang doon, at may mga sofa sa gilid. May mga gamit rin na nakalagay sa isang aparador, pero hindi nila alam kung ano iyon. May mini cabinet din malapit sa kama. At sa harapan ng mismong kama ay may bilog na bintana. Parang ginawang storage room na lang ito dahil medyo maalikabok na rin ang paligid, pero maganda pa rin naman tingnan."Have you seen, Ronald?" I asked my voice a little ti

    Inutusan muli ni Ronald ang kaniyang mga tauhan para magmasid sa lumang gusali na iyon, habang ang iba naman ay sinusundan kung saan naroon ang sakim kong ama. Naglagay sila ng tracking device sa mga sasakyan nila ng hindi nila napapansin. Nagpanggap rin sila na naglilinis ng kotse para lang makapaglagay ng maliliit na cameras sa loob ng kotse ng hindi sila nakatingin.Ronald's phone rang while he was walking towards the sofa. "Hello?""Boss, Mr. Dayron went to the bar which is already empty," I heard the voice of his mobster updating him.My mobster walked in from behind me. "What's wrong?" he queried, noticing my expression."Nothing," I softly replied."Just keep an eye to him," Ronald instructed him.His mobster spoke again from the phone line, "I will, and do we need to signal the assassins to kill him?" his mobster asked."I decided not to involve them in this operation," Ronald responded to his mobster, and it seemed he had a better plan now."Oh, you maybe have a more better i

    Pinapasok niya kami sa loob ng malaki at eleganteng bahay niya. Red bricks ang gamit sa mismong bahay, may anim na bintana ito—tatlo sa itaas at tatlo sa ibaba. Pagkapasok namin, agad niya kaming iginiya sa hagdanan at umakyat kami. Nauna siya sa paglalakad. Sa pangalawang palapag, naglakad kami papunta sa pangalawang kwarto. Maraming susi ang nakasabit sa malaking bilog na bakal kaya hinanap muna niya ito bago binuksan.His office was beautiful. The walls were white, and a brown wooden table sat in the center. A Lapizo study lamp illuminated the left side of the table, where some documents were placed. On the other side were more papers. He sat in a black leather office chair."So, we're ready to discuss this matter, shall we?" he asked formally, his fingers pressed together beneath his chin.Ronald walked toward the black executive chair in front of the politician. The politician grinned evilly, a glint in his eyes suggesting a plan was afoot. What was he up to?"I should have asked

    "Your father," the governor said, circling him, "is the most cruel of all evils. And if you ever need help, you can find me at the Capitol.""I know," I whispered, the words catching in my throat, "He might even be ready to trade his soul for money." The admission felt raw, a painful truth laid bare between us. My voice trembled slightly as I recalled how desperate he was for wealth."He underestimated a woman like you," he said softly, his voice a gentle caress against the upset inside me. The memory of his cruel disregard for my feelings, the sting of his betrayal, threatened to overwhelm me. Yet, beneath the pain, a tiny bit of pushback started to grow."He knew him better," I breathed, the words filled with a mix of sadness and a new understanding. Isang malalim na kalungkutan ang bumalot sa akin, ngunit sa loob nito, isang tahimik na lakas ang nagsimulang mamukadkad. Ang kanyang pananaw, bagama't malupit, ay nagpapaliwanag ng landas pasulong."He's dangerous," he said serio

    Nanlaki ang mga mata namin nang makita ang police mobile sa side mirror, sumusunod sa amin. Napatingin ako sa likod, ang sirena ay umuugong nang malakas, hinahabol kami nang walang tigil. Sinabihan namin ang driver ni Ronald na mas pabilisin pa ang takbo ng sasakyan. Pagkatapos ng dalawang daang metro, sinabihan namin siyang iligaw ang mga pulis. Paano nangyari 'yon?Nakita ni Ronald sa side mirror na inilabas ng pulis ang ulo at kanang braso niya. Nagsimula na siyang magpaputok sa sasakyan namin. Walang pag-aalinlangan, ginaya ni Ronald ang kilos, ang ulo at kaliwang braso niya ay lumabas sa kanang bintana, at isang ulan ng bala ang lumabas mula sa kamay niya. Nang akmang babarilin na siya ng pulis, binawi ni Ronald ang kanyang katawan, yumuko ng bahagya para umiwas sa papasok na bala."Maaaring may nag-aabang na sa atin sa bawat rotang pupuntahan natin," I said, my voice laced with worry."Then, we need to ask for backup," Ronald responded, his voice a low growl of anger."Ano ang

    We turned on the detection feature to detect if there's any danger and enemies around outside the water. The radar says that there are no impending dangers and no adversaries outside the water. We also turned on the locating radar to find them. After a few minutes underwater, we climbed out onto the ground, following the radar.Once we got to the island, we immediately opened the door and hopped out of the car. We looked for them inside the cave until we heard whispers. We looked for the source of the voice until we saw them on the left side. This place wasn't deep inside the cave, but it was where they could hide.Inutusan ni Ronald na alalayan sila sa pagtayo at paglalakad dahil may mga sugat sila sa paa at galos sa kamay. Siguro dahil ito sa bubog ng bintana ng nakikipagbarilan sila lalo na no'ng sinadya nilang ihulog ang sasakyan para tumigil na ang mga pulis."Kailangan nating bilisan," he said, grunting."I know, the police will probably be here within ten minutes, at most," Ron

    Pagkauwi namin, sinalubong kami ng mga kasambahay. Buong araw daw silang nag-aalala. Napatakbo palabas si Niccoló nang makita kami, pero natigilan nang makita ang mga sugatang tauhan ng ama niya. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya; ang bibig ay nakanganga. Nag-angat siya ng tingin.Parang bigla niyang naunawaan kung sino kami, kung ano ang ginagawa namin, at kung bakit hindi namin sinasabi sa kanya ang totoo."I have a question for you, Dad," diretsong sabi niya."Mamaya na," sagot ni Ronald."Dalhin ninyo sila sa personal clinic," utos ni Ronald sa mga tauhan. "Kayo, hindi ba't nag-aral kayo ng medisina bago naging parte ng organisasyong ito?" tanong sa kanila ni Ronald."Yes, we did," mahinang sagot ng tauhang nasa gitna, halatang nagulat pa rin.We approached the clinic, gently laying the bodies on the beds. The two mobsters, their faces grim, were already washing their wounds with soap and water, rinsing away the grit and grime of the seashore.Ryker used tweezers to carefully remove remai

    New Headline: POLICE MISTAKE IDENTITY; FORMAL APOLOGY ISSUEDInfluential City Governor Wayden Harverbord addressed a recent police shooting, explaining that officers pursued the wrong target. He stated the individuals returned fire, fearing police brutality—a valid concern given the city’s circulating rumors of police abuse. He clarified that the individuals were undercover agents on a mission."This is good," Ronald commented, eyeing the headline."But the problem, Miss Airah, is your father," the mobster said.Ronald's gaze sharpened. "Call her Mrs. Navarra. She's my wife."Nakita ko ang reaksiyon ng asawa ko sa sinabi ni Ronald. "Fine," ang sagot nito, huminga nang malalim."Hayaan mo na," sabi ko naman."Anong hayaan mo na?" tanong nito. "Hindi pwede. Dapat bigyan ka ng tamang paggalang dahil asawa na kita, at tandaan mo, hindi ka na dalaga.""Alam ko naman 'yan," tugon ko sa kanya.Tumikhim ang tauhan ko sa tabi ko. "Pasensya na, nasanay lang kasi kaming tawagin siyang ganyan," t

    Kinabukasan nga ay inutusan na naman ni Ronald ang mga tauhan niya na maghanap ng buyer para maibenta ito sa mas mahal na presyo. Ibebenta nila ito base sa kalidad at talagang halaga nito na umaabot ng halos isang daang billion.Ang painting na iyon ang pinakakaiba, at pinakamaganda ng isang pintor bago ito pumanaw dahil sa malubha nitong sakit na cancer. Matagal rin palang hinintay ni Ronald ang paglabas ng mismong obra na iyon.Tinawag ni Ronald ang tatlo niyang tauhan.

    Nalagpasan na nila ang lugar kung saan nila sinunog ang mga gamit ng biktima nila mismo. Nakahinga sila ng maluwag ng makuha na ang painting at nagawa ng maayos ang trabaho nila. Halos matawa ang isang tauhan ni Ronald dahil walang kaalam-alam ang driver na naloko siya at hindi talaga sila totoong mga pulis.Habang nasa biyahe sila ay tinitingnan nila kung gaano kaganda ang painting at pinag-uusapan nila ang pintor na gumawa nito. Isa ito sa pinakamagaling na pintor sa kasaysayan ng Italy noong 1960's at ang painting na ‘yon ay ang naiwan niyang obra bago siya namatay.“Siguro akong matutuwa na naman sa ‘ tin si boss,” nakangising sambit ng tauhan ni Ronald na nagmamaneho ng sasakyan.Biglang nagsalita ang capo nila sa earpiece. “Bilisan niyo at hinihintay na kayo ni boss dito,” pagdeklara nito.“Malapit na kami, hintayin niyo na lang kami sandali.” Seryosong sambit ng tauhan ni Ronald na nasa passenger's seat sa harapan.Marami rin ang naghahangad na makuha at mabili ang painting na

    The truck has arrived, and the mobsters of Ronald were preparing to block the driver. They were waiting for the right time and signals from other mobsters, especially the capo, before they moved. Their capo already signaled the mobsters to be in their positions.8:22 AM BOLOGNA, VIA FONDAZZA The mobsters in front were going to cross-dress and be in disguise. They needed to kill the two policemen who were on duty in their area to steal their uniforms. The police had caught them earlier, so they needed to kill them. They cleaned the area, leaving no traces at the crime scene. They searched for a perfect spot to bury those bodies and make sure that no one would know about what they had done.Their capo gestured; his hand tailed the white truck as two mobsters, wearing the uniforms of the two policemen they had killed earlier in the Via Fondazza establishment's toilet, approached. They were already wearing the black belts and police peaked caps.Pagkatapos nila doon ay inayos nila ang s

    NAVARRA'S EXCLUSIVE BUILDING9:24 PMSanremo, ItalyCasino Area2nd floor Naglakad kaming dalawa papunta sa mga berdeng mesa kung saan naglalaro ng mga baraha ang lahat ng mga taong narito. May napansin akong kakaiba dahil ang isang lalaking narito ay parang hindi naman kasali sa kahit na anong mafia organization. Parang most likely sa mga drug syndicate group base sa hitsura at pormahan nito.Maraming mga naglalakihang chandelier sa gitna na nagliliwanag na parang isang anghel na nagdadala ng liwanag sa madilim na silid. Lahat sila dito ay halos dinadaya lang ang isat-isa para sa pera.There's no fair game in the world of criminals. They all used tricks to win, to get the money they craved. In the first game, they let their opponents win, but as the games went on, they'd use their tricks to cheat and get back the money they'd lost."Nice game, amico nostros," komento ng tauhan ni Ronald kaya halos napatingin lahat sa kaniya ang mga naglalaro ng baraha.Isang manlalaro ang lumingon

    Navarra's Exclusive Building Sanremo, Italy — Underground Casino Liguria Region 7:56 PM January 4, 2025 "Boss, what are we going to do now?" their second-in-command asked. Ronald, wearing a black fedora hat, sat in the red small sofa. "We'll do the money laundering as other mobsters we're working with to take down and captured Mr. Dayron," he replied, lighting up his cigarette. "What art? Where?" the second-in-command asked. "I heard from a source that there's a white truck containing the Renaissance art—Mysteries of Milan," he began. "That truck will be passing over Bologna Street, but you need to follow it until the driver is in a place with no crowds," he explained. "I warned you," he pointed at each of them with his index finger. "If you get caught, you'll be punished." The threat hung in the air. I walked toward him and sat on the rolled arm of the sofa beside him. He immediately placed his hand on my waist, glancing at his mobsters. His mobsters stood serious

    Ronald's whereabouts Nagpaalam si Ronald kanina na makikipagkita sa isang informant. Narinig ko ang usapan nila; dapat siguraduhin ng informant na walang nakasunod. Huminto si Ronald sa isang tahimik na eskinita na walang katao-tao sakay ng itim niyang sasakyan. Bumaba siya at pinasadahan ng tingin ang paligid, nagmamasid kung may tao.Ronald adjusted his coat and necktie, glancing at his Rolex. He waited, leaning against his car, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He heard a clinking sound—a nearby trash can.Soon, he spotted someone approaching. "Sorry for keeping you waiting," the informant said, getting out of his car."It's alright, I just arrived," Ronald replied as the informant walked closer."Give me the papers," Ronald instructed. The informant retrieved an envelope from his car.He handed the envelope to Ronald. "All the papers and agreements are inside."Ronald opened the brown envelope and read the first page. "This is insane," he commented, shaking his head."Money is

    Napakagulo na ng mundong ginagalawan naming dalawa. Hindi ko na alam kung saan hahantong ang lahat. Will our story be like other stories and movies, all tied up at the end? Will all the pieces of the puzzle fit together in the end? Sa magulong mundong ito, hindi na namin alam kung sino ang mga kakampi at sino ang dapat pagkatiwalaan."How's the operation... to gather more data on him? To take him down?" My voice was barely a whisper, the question staying in the air.Ronald's eyes moved quickly. A beat. Then, a slow kiss on my forehead. "Everything went well, darling." His calm tone made the tension feel stronger."Is there a new threat?" I asked, meeting his gaze. He stared back, his eyes steady."Maybe," he said, his voice softer now, "but we'll face it together." The attempt to lighten the mood felt heavy in the air."Ano? Pumapayag ka na bang masangkot si Niccoló dito?" tanong ko sa kaniya.Napaisip siya sandali. "Kapag handa na siya pero hindi pa ngayon," tugon niya.He's our only

    Kinabukasan, kahit tila ordinaryong araw lamang, mababakas ang tensyon sa hangin. Ang aming interaksyon, bagamat gaya ng dati sa panlabas na anyo, ay puno ng pinipigilang emosyon. Habang nagpapatuloy ang operasyon—ang pinagsamang puwersa ng kanyang mga tauhan at ng ilan sa akin—ay kapansin-pansin ang pagod sa mga mata ko. Ang pagnanais na mahuli ang aking sakim na ama, na burahin siya sa mundo, ay isang apoy na nag-aalab sa aking puso, ngunit ang takot sa panganib ay isang malamig na kamay na pumipigil sa akin.Hindi niya ako itinuturing na anak. Isang pamumuhunan lamang ako, isang produkto, isang bagay na maaaring ipagbili kung kailan niya naisin. Ang sakit ng katotohanang ito ay isang matinding bigat sa aking dibdib. Isang bagay na magagamit niya, at kapag wala na raw siyang pakinabang, basta na lang ipagkakait sa akin ang halaga ko. Ang galit ay isang bulkan na naghihintay lamang ng pagsabog."Dalhin niyo siya dito," ang utos ni Ronald sa kanyang tauhan sa cellphone, at ang boses n

    Pagkatapos ng pag-uusap namin kahapon, naayos na ang hindi pagkakaintindihan sa pagitan nating dalawa. Natatamaan na ng sinag ng araw ang mukha ko, at pagkahawak ko sa tabi ko, naramdaman kong wala siya roon. Iminulat ko ang mga mata ko. Bumangon ako at nakita kong wala nga siya.Ibinaba ko ang aking mga paa sa kama at naglakad palabas ng pinto. Lumapit ako sa handrails at tinanaw siya sa ibaba, pero wala siya roon. Nagdesisyon akong bumaba ng hagdan. Pagkababa ko, mabilis siyang hinanap ng aking mga mata."Where's Ronald?" tanong ko sa kasambahay."Ma'am, I guess he went to buy something," magalang na sagot ng kasambahay."Okay, then," tugon ko, at nagtaka bigla."La mia Regina!" Nagulat ako nang marinig ko ang pamilyar na boses na iyon. Paunti-unti akong umikot para harapin siya.Napatingin ako sa hawak niyang bouquet ng mga bulaklak. "Para saan iyan?" tanong ko habang papalapit siya sa akin."This is for making you upset," tugon niya, sabay abot sa akin ng bulaklak.Nag-alangan ako
