Chapter 26AlexisOh my, I'm wasted to the highest level! I can't barely move my hands and my entire body!"My gosh Alexis! Don't tell me you drank all the wine here?" Debbie asked in shock."Hehe, Did I? My voice still sounds good besh! I'm not drunk yet, bwahaha!" I laughed while grabbing another bottle. But Debbie snatched it away from me."Oh my gosh, you're crazy! You'll wait until your tongue gets numb? You're drinking so fast!" Debbie said, hardly believing it."That's mine, besh! Let's party, hehe." I said, grabbing the wine. But Zac snatched it away from my hand."Let's go home. It's getting late," he said with a frown."Oh no! Zac's back to being grumpy, how ugly hahaha!" I burst out laughing. Debbie and Hector couldn't help but laugh too, but then they saw how serious Zac's face was.Suddenly, he swooped me up in a piggyback ride! I was mortified - we even paraded in front of a crowd of people."Put me down! What's wrong with you?"But the more I shouted, the more people
Chapter 27AlexisI slept well, and I even drooled a bit, haha! And my pillow is so soft! I hugged it tight and I wanted to sleep again."I think you're abusing me, baby," Zac's voice said.I looked up, and there was Zac! Oh no! I still had drool on my face."Huh? Zac, why are you here?" I asked, confused."It's our bed. It's only natural that I'm here," he replied, his tone indicating he wasn't in the mood for questions."Ah, yeah, right. But what I mean is, why are we sleeping next to each other?" I asked, puzzled."Tsk! Who was scared of ghosts last night? And please, get off my arm, I've gone numb already," he explained.Right! I'm forgetful nowadays. I got up and Zac's arms felt relieved. But his arms still seemed numb. I could see the pain on his face."Sorry, Zac. Should I massage it to get rid of the numbness?" I asked and immediately began to massage his arm."Ouch! No, thanks. You might make it even worse," he said, brushing my hands away. Exaggerated! "Okay, suit yourse
Chapter 28AlexisI'm about to cry. I can feel that it's not Manong! It's like a demon version of him, huhu. "Manong, stop the car!" I shouted again, and Manong just grinned at me. Good thing Zac Woke up! "What happened?" he asked, still sounding sleepy. Don't fall asleep again, Zac!"Manong is acting like a demon! And look at the road! This isn't the way home anymore, huhu," I replied tearfully. Zac immediately looked at Manong, and in an instant, he pulled out a gun! This is turning into an action movie again! What's happening to my life, huhu? I'm going to faint, and I'll drool.Not again!No, I must be strong. It's embarrassing! Zac's hands moved swiftly, and he grabbed the gun from Manong. Without hesitation, Zac pulled the trigger, and Manong's head jerked back!I felt like vomiting, but I held it in. I must be strong! Our car screeched to a halt, but Zac quickly grasped the steering wheel and stopped the car at the side of the road. He threw Manong out of the window.
Chapter 29AlexisUgh, it's ridiculous! Every time I hear those annoying thugs mistaking me for Grandpa's lover, I'm like, "What the heck? You're shameless!And the one holding me is ugly! He's even got a big belly. Am I going to faint again? Never! I'll keep fighting!But honestly, I'm getting scared. I feel sorry for Debbie, who won't stop crying and is shaking with fear. Hang in there, Besh! I looked her straight in the eye, hoping she'd understand. "Don't hurt her!" Grandpa shouted, but we're getting close to them."You're so sweet, Night. It seems like just yesterday, you were crying uncontrollably over Amanda's passing. I just can't believe you replaced her so easily." The ugly man was still smiling, but then a glimmer of sadness flashed in Granpa's eyes. He looked like he was about to cry. Is Amanda my grandmother? Poor Grandpa, if she's gone. And that ugly, stupid man is just smiling."Shut up! It's because of your evil son!" Grandpa shouted. And to make matters worse,
Chapter 30AlexisI cried and cried until no more tears would come out. My sorrow is overwhelming! Why is this happening? It seemed even sadder than Rond's engagement! I clung to Zac, and suddenly, he moved! His hand stirred. I sit down and look at him. Slowly, he open his eyes. Hallelujah!Thank God Zac is finally awake."Zac?" I asked joyfully. And due to my overwhelming happiness, I hugged him tightly. But he immediately pushed me away!Damn you, Ugly. "Who are you?" he asked, furrowing his brow. Oh no, don't tell me? The door opens, and the doctor and Grandpa entered!"Zac, you're awake now!" Grandpa exclaimed with extreme joy. "Mr. Night? What are you doing in here?" Zac asked, puzzled. It's unfair! He recognizes Grandpa, but I'm a stranger to him. "Hey, Doc, what happened to him?" Grandpa asked seriously. The doctor examined Zac before answering the questions on our minds."He's experiencing temporary amnesia. And all he can remember is his past. But don't worry,
Chapter 31Third Person POVHector didn't know how to tell Debbie. He just wanted to test her, to see how far her love for him would go. He had been betrayed before and didn't want it to happen again. So, he just said whatever came to mind to Debbie. But he didn't expect to fall for Debbie's beauty and sense of humor."So, what's going on, Hector? Or maybe that's not even your real name?" Debbie asked, her voice laced with frustration.The bubbly, lively, and loud Debbie had been replaced by a serious and unenthusiastic one. Who could blame her? She was deeply hurt when she found out Hector was married, but she continued the relationship because it was the first time she had fallen in love."Babe," Hector said softly. "Don't call me that. What about your so-called wife? What's your term of endearment for each other?" Debbie asked angrily. "Fine, I'm sorry. I have no wife, and I've been hiding my identity," Hector said seriously. He dropped the bombshell to avoid further questio
Chapter 32AlexisI was taken aback by what I heard from Grandpa and Mommy. Daddy was quiet, and I was shocked! My tiger-like dad suddenly vanished.But what? I'm the next Mafia Queen? The Crazy Queen seems more fitting. Oh my gosh, what's happening? Is this the punishment for my past sins? Being lazy, always partying, and all the other crazy things I did before.It does sound cool, but I still don't want it! I can't handle all the killing and shooting. But, to be fair, I have Italian blood, haha. Oh, I'm so beautiful! "We are the most powerful and famous Mafia Group, not just in Italy, but in the entire Mafia World!" Grandfather began. My popcorn is taking too long! I had it cooked especially for Grandpa's storytelling. "Wait, Grandpa! Let me get my popcorn first, hehe." I said, scratching my head.He just laughed at my craziness. I quickly ran to the kitchen. The popcorn is already cooked. I took it out and sprinkled a generous amount of cheese powder on it. Grab one wate
Chapter 33AlexisDaddy entered my room first. He is quite calm now, and his face wasn't as fierce as it usually was, like a tiger. What happened to Daddy? "Sit down, Daddy," I invited him. He sat down on the couch and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry for what happened in your life, especially about your marriage," he said softly.Daddy looks sad! "It's okay, Daddy. As long as I don't have to be a Mafia, I'm fine with it," I replied."I looked for trouble when I fell in love with your Mom," he said, shaking his head. "But I love her, and I'm willing to do anything for her. Yet, you've been the one to suffer." He continued, "I arranged for you to marry Zac for our family's protection. Since he's indebted to your grandfather, he agreed." Daddy said."Protection? But Zac isn't a Mafia, is he?" I asked, confused. "Yes, he's not," he explained. "But their family is one of the most powerful in the country and internationally. They have many connections with powerful mafias, like his frien
Chapter 38AlexisI fell asleep in Zac's arms, and to make matters worse, I drooled all over him. How embarrassing. When I opened my eyes, the plane is empty! Where did everyone go? And Zac is still sleeping? I quickly wiped away my drool, relieved that he didn't see it. I touched his face, lightly slapping his handsome features. "Zac, wake up!" I said. But he just groaned and pulled me back into a hug.What's wrong with me? My face is burning, and my whole body too! Gosh, don't tempt me, Zac! I tried to pull away, but his grip on me was tight. Where are the staff? There's no single person around. It's just the two of us.Where are Debbie and Lara? My friends left me behind, of course – they're probably with their boyfriends. Hey, shut up, brain! Stop it!I patted Zac's face again. Should I tap him harder? Maybe that'll wake him up. But why is it so unfair? He looks so handsome even when he's sleeping! He doesn't even drool. I'm the ugly one, huhu. "Zac, hey! Wake up. T
Chapter 37AlexisIt feels like just yesterday when my family flew to Italy. It was just last week, but I'm already missing them so much. Grandpa often calls and video calls, and so do Mommy and Daddy. The only thing is, I'm not used to Mommy's new look – fierce but she still looks stunning! And Daddy, being the tough Tiger he is, has clearly been whipped by Mom, the Lion – haha!And this time, we're the ones flying to Spain. Yes, it's Debbie's wedding! They seem to be in a hurry. All of Hector's family will be there, and you know he's a Mafia King. Here we go again with the Mafia thing. My best friend Debbie will be a Mafia Queen now, and apparently, she's really into it. She loves Hector so much that she's willing to take the risk, mafia or not. I'm really impressed with my best friend, and I'm happy for her – I hope this happy ending lasts. Hector is accepted by Debbie's family because she's their only child, and a spoiled brat, just like me.We're both a bit dramatic and
Chapter 36AlexisThis is it – we were all at the airport, and it was time to say goodbye to my family. I felt an overwhelming sadness wash over me. I'd been crying in the car earlier, clinging to Mommy as we hugged tightly. I will miss her, and Daddy too, despite his constant scolding. And Grandpa... who would cook chicken soup and call me "little princess?"The thought of living without them, even though I can still see them, is unbearable. I don't think I can handle it."Shh, show them you can do it. Don't show them you're weak. They'll just worry more," Zac whispered, holding me close. Thankfully, his amnesia had brought out this side of him, and I had him to lean on now. He'd been my rock these days, always there for me and being sweet. But what would happen when the real Zac returned? Would he still be sweet to me? Probably, but as a friend and little sister, not as...more. Why was I even thinking about that now? Don't get too attached, Alexis! Shut up, brain, you're a
Chapter 35AlexisFinally, Zac was discharged from the hospital. Mom had calmed down a bit after her tantrums towards him. Now, we're at our mansion, where Mommy and Daddy are hosting a despidida party. I didn't want to attend, but Mom and Debbie encouraged me. Lara's also here, so our group is complete, except for the traitor Joanna. She got her revenge on me, but I still hope karma catches up to her. They're all having a great time, and it's lovely to see them so happy. We're having a barbecue party in our heart-shaped pool. Grandpa's happily jumping around in the water, while Mommy and Daddy are sweetly eating together at the table. I wish I could have a love life like my parents.Mom wouldn't let Lara go, and they were chatting away - I'm not sure what they're talking about, but good luck to Lara with Mom's antics! Dad was shaking his head, watching them. The real highlight is Hector and Debbie, they're so sweet, it's like they're glued together. I'm happy for my friend,
Chapter 34AlexisI felt embarrassed about that! Debbie is silly! Zac's facial expression is unreadable. I quickly stood up and pulled Debbie outside. "Zac, we're just going to get some fresh air outside, okay?" I said, taking my leave. "Go ahead," he replied curtly. But Debbie slipped out of my grasp."Wait a minute, girl," she quickly walked over to Hector. And kissed his lips! Debbie, you're so shameless. Zac seemed unfazed, so I looked away, trying to avoid the awkwardness. "We're stepping out for a bit, babe," Debbie said sweetly, after devouring, I mean, kissing Hector's lips. "Take care," he replied and gently held her face."Ahem! We're just going outside, not to Canada, haha. Let's go!" I pulled Debbie away. Meanwhile, the two of them were still gazing lovingly at each other. Good grief, some people just have all the luck. But I am happy that my friend has finally found her soulmate. What about me? Not Rond. He was already with his demonic fiancée. I felt an ove
