Nicholas gritted his teeth after hearing those words. He had no idea how and when Laverna got to speak with Liraz during the masquerade party but that did not really matter at the moment. He excused himself, telling Laverna that he needed to use the restroom, and rushed to a corner away from her. He immediately dialed her girlfriend’s number.

Ring after ring, he felt more and more agitated, hoping that Laverna’s men couldn’t have found her yet. Makalipas ang pang-limang ring, sinagot ni Liraz ang tawag ng nobyo.

“Nasaan ka?” agad na tanong ni Nicholas.

“Bakit? Hindi ba’t ngayon na alis ninyo ni Laverna so bakit ka tumatawag?” Halata pa rin ang sarkastikong tono ng boses nito kaya naman napahawak ang binata sa taas ng ilong nito.

“Babe, this is no time for this. Wherever you are, I want you to hide in a place where no one can find you. Wear something that covers your face and turn on the location of your phone. I will have Victor fetch you. No matter what happens, do not go with anyone

  • The Mafia's Deceitful Master   Chapter 23

    Gunner stared at Laverna for a while and the next thing he did made the woman glare at him.Chuckling at her words, he said, “And do you actually think that will make a difference?”Laverna, on the other hand, could only knit her eyebrows because she does not know what he was actually thinking. It made her a bit anxious that when Gunner took a step forward towards him as his silver eyes seemed to bore into her very being, made her step backwards until she was backed in a corner.A smirk slowly formed on his lips. “But since you are willing to show me your bare self, then entertain me even more, kitten.”When he was about to brush his hand over her cheeks, Laverna shot him a glare and slapped his hand away. Ayaw na ayaw pa naman niyang tinatawag siya sa isang pet name. Umalis siya sa kaniyang kinatatayuan at hinarap ang salamin bago unti-unting tinanggal ang kaniyang make-up.Gunner was watching on the side with a poker face, but deep inside, he was very much amused and curious.

    Kinaumagahan, alas-10 na ng umaga bago nagising si Laverna dahil 3 piraso ng sleeping peels ang kaniyang nainom noong nakaraang gabi. Buhat na rin iyon ng kaniyang pago-overthink tungkol sa magiging kasal nila ni Gunner. Hindi niya alam kung paninindigan pa talaga niya ang desisyong iyon o mas piliin niya na lamang na tumakas at magbagong buhay. Iniisip niya pa lamang ang mga iyan ay sumasakit na ang kaniyang ulo kaya naman naghilamos na siya muna bago umalis ng kwarto.“Lance!” tawag niya sa bodyguard niya ngunit purong katahimikan lamang ang kaniyang narinig.Pinuntahan niya ang kwarto nito ngunit wala siya roon. Pati sa kusina ay hindi niya ito makita. Tatawagan na niya sana si Nicholas ngunit biglang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa nito ang lalaking hinahanap niya. Base sa pawis nitong halos tumagaktak na sa kaniyang mukha, alam na agad ni Laverna na lumabas ito para tumakbo. Imbes na magpaliwanag si Nicholas kung saan siya nanggaling, natulala na lamang siya sa itsura ng babaeng na

    Mephis City was the wealthiest city in the world. It was a home of thousands of billionaires and was considered as the top financial heart of its country. Hence, it was no surprise to Laverna that the said city was much ahead than Esterdale. At ang isa sa pinakamayamang angkan na malaki ang kontribusyon sa ekonomiya at pati na rin sa organized crime sa lungsod ay ang angkan ng Luciano. Katulad lang din ng Valdemar at Magnus, ilang dekada nang itinatag ang nasabing angkan kaya bukod sa kinikilala sila ng nakararami, kinatatakutan din sila. “Where are we headed to?” tanong ni Laverna habang nasa biyahe pa sila.“Somewhere you will surely like,” proud na sagot ni Gunner. Isang irap naman ang naging tugon ng dalaga sabay sandal ng kaniyang ulo sa bintana ng kotse. Tila ba pinapakita niyang hindi siya nasisiyahan sa kung anuman ang plano ni Gunner dahil mukhang alam na niya kung saan siya dadalhin.“Just make sure that it isn’t just a five-star hotel. I have been to a lot of ones so I f

    Pilit mang tinutulak siya ng dalaga ngunit mas malakas ito sa kaniya kaya naman walang magawa si Laverna kundi ang hayaan ang binata. Ilang segundo siyang hinalikan hanggang sa malasahan niya ang sariling dugo. Unti-unti namang humiwalay si Gunner ngunit kinagat pa nito ang ibabang labi ni Laverna bago napangisi na para bang siya ang nanalo sa kanilang karera.Isang masamang tingin lamang ang tinapon ni Laverna sa kaniya pagkatapos niyang punasan ang labi gamit ang likod ng kaniyang kamay.“That was unnecessary,” komento ng dalaga.Gunner just shrugged.“It’s a congratulatory gift for being the first person to defeat me in a race.”Laverna scoffed.“A gift? It simply felt like you were mad after being defeated by a woman.”Gunner brushed off her comment and simply led the way to the locker room. Dahil wala naman na silang gagawin sa lugar na iyon, dinala ni Gunner si Laverna sa kilalang pinakamataas na gusali sa lungsod ng Mephis. Pagmamay-ari rin ito ng grupong Luciano na eksklusibo

    Ilang oras na nanatili ang dalawa sa rooftop hanggang sa mahimasmasan si Laverna. Nang bumalik siya sa kaniyang katinuan, lubos ang pasasalamat niya kay Charles. “Hatid na kita sa inyo,” alok ng binata na siya namang masayang tinanggap ng modelo lalo na at hindi niya kabisado ang daan papunta sa hotel nila.Habang nasa biyahe sila, nilagay ni Laverna ang kaniyang number sa cellphone ni Charles.“Dahil tinulungan mo ako, ililibre kita doon sa Everwander Bar sa susunod na pupunta ako roon,” saad niya na siyang dahilan para mapatawa ang binata. “May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko?”Umiling si Charles.“Wala naman. Nakakatawa lang na kahit halos mamatay ka na sa hangover ay gusto mo pa ring umulit. Gano’n ba kabigat ang problema mo?” tanong nito.Tumango naman si Laverna at tinuon ang pansin sa dinadaanan nila.“Ikaw ba naman ang ikakasal sa lalaking hindi mo gusto, siyempre mabigat talaga iyon.” Bumuntong hininga siya bago muling tiningnan si Charles. “Kaya sasamahan mo akong uminom pagka

    Nang magising si Laverna, agad siyang lumabas ng kuwarto at nadatnan si Nicholas na naka-idlip sa may couch kung saan kita ang buong siyudad ng Mephis. Tumayo siya sa may likuran ng binata saka tinitigan ito ng may ngiti sa kaniyang mga labi. She cupped his cheek and slowly closed the distance between them, kissing him lightly on the lips. Naging dahilan ito para magising ang binata at isang ngiti agad ang naging tugon nito sa ginawa ni Laverna.“Feeling a bit better now?” tanong niya.“Not quite,” sagot ni Laverna bago muling hinalikan si Nicholas.He held her wrist and pulled her towards him, letting her get on top of him. Napangisi naman si Laverna sa kanilang posisyon. Hinaplos niya ang ibabang labi ni Nicholas gamit ang kaniyang hinlalaki bago siya hinalikan ulit ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, sa loob ng mas matagal na oras.Nicholas kissed her back as his hand found its way underneath her shirt, rubbing her bare skin as carefully as he could as if he feared of hurting her if he we

    The wedding ceremony proceeded as planned without any hitch. Hindi nga namalayan ni Laverna ay nasa parte na sila ng kasal kung saan hahalikan na siya ni Gunner.She watched him lift her veil with a smile plastered on his lips as if he was eager to claim her in front of a lot of people. Habang papalapit sa kaniya si Gunner, napatingin si Laverna sa direksyon kung saan nakaupo si Nicholas. Nakatingin lang din ito sa kaniya kaya’t ang nasa isip ni Laverna ay ang humingi ng tawad sa lalaking mahal niya bago niya naramdaman ang halik ni Gunner.“Keep your eyes on me, Laverna,” Gunner reminded, holding her chin and making her look at him. “You can have your time with your lover alone later, but let me savor this moment with you.”Right after the ceremony, the guests and the couple headed to the wedding reception which was held at the Lionsgate Hotel. Before anything else, she was escorted to the hotel suite so she could have a change of clothes. Tutulungan na sana siya ng isang assistant p

    TW: Depiction of violence and gore scenes is shown in the chapter.Lumingon siya sa kaniyang kanan kung saan dapat nakaupo si Nicholas ngunit wala siya roon. Sa hindi niya malamang kadahilanan, nakaramdam siya ng kaba. Agad niyang hinablot ang kaniyang cell phone saka ito tinawagan. Habang nagri-ring, tinuon niya ang kaniyang tingin kay Gunner.“If you ever dared lay a finger on Lance, I will make you regret it,” pagbabanta niya.Tinaas ni Gunner ang dalawang kamay na para bang sumusuko na agad ito.“I swear… I have nothing to do with his absence,” saad niya. “Maybe he is busy with something… important and is planning to surprise you.”Gunner sounded like he was insinuating something behind his words, especially that it was accompanied with a grin. Binalewala na lamang ito ni Laverna dahil naisip niya na ginagago lang siya ng kaniyang asawa.Nakailang ring na rin ang phone pero hindi pa sumasagot si Nicholas kaya agad napatayo si Laverna sa kaniyang kinauupuan ngunit bago pa siya maka

    “I am Liraz Constantine, the wife of no other than the head of the Magnus mafia group. I am more than sure that by the time someone watches this, I am already dead.”Panandaliang natulala si Nicholas ngunit nang marinig niya ang tawa ni Laverna, agad siyang bumalik sa katinuan.“She truly knows her fate. Good for her,” komento ng dalaga.“What’s the meaning of this?” nagtitimping tanong ng mafia boss habang nakatingin nang masama sa kaniya.“Oh, come on. Huwag kang magalit agad. Hindi mo pa nga natatapos panoorin ‘yan eh.”She even cupped his cheek, but Nicholas immediately slapped it away as his piercing glare met her gentle yet mocking gaze.“So this is your goal after all this time?” “You guessed it right. What are you going to do about it?” Ngumisi si Laverna. “Papatayin mo rin ba ako katulad ng pagpatay mo sa babaeng kasa-kasama mo sa loob ng ilang taon?”Hindi sumagot si Nicholas ngunit agad niyang hinugot ang kaniyang baril saka tinutukan sa mukha si Laverna. She, however, nev

    Without sparing a glance at the lifeless body of his wife, Nicholas knelt on one knee in front of Laverna as he handed back the gun to her. Isang ngiti ang gumuhit sa labi ng dalaga bago niya kinuha ang baril mula sa kaniya. After securing it back on her leg, she outstretched her hand towards him as if expecting him to do something.Hindi naman nag-atubiling halikan ni Nicholas ang likod ng kamay ni Laverna bilang mensahe na handa siyang gawin ang kahit ano basta muli silang magsama. After he did the gesture, Laverna grabbed his chin and made him look up to her.She must admit that she loved the desperation in his eyes and one thing only came into mind—use it to her advantage. Hindi siya sigurado kung totoo ba ang nakikita niya ngunit wala na siyang pakialam. Mamatay man siyang nakapaghiganti o hindi, sisiguraduhin pa rin niyang hinding-hindi makukuha ni Nicholas ang inaasam-asam niyang kapangyarihan. “What took you so long to want me this much?” tanong niya na tila ba matagal na niy

    “What’s the matter?” an Agate member questioned upon seeing the intense expression of their boss.“Focus on the auction. Make sure that you get the item no matter what. I will be back in a while,” sagot ni Nicholas bago umalis sa silid na iyon.Pagkalabas niya sa headquarters ng Agate, muli siyang nakatanggap ng mensahe na mas lalong nagpa-inis sa kaniya. Agad siyang pumasok sa kotse niya at pinaharurot iyon paalis patungo sa direksyon kung nasaan ang dating mansyon ng mga Quevedo.On his way there, he dialed the number of his right-hand man. In just a matter of seconds, his call was answered.“Surround the Quevedo mansion, but keep it low. Laverna is being held captive in that place,” he instructed. “I will be there in a few minutes.”“I get it that you want her back, but don’t you think it is a bit suspicious that she is there right now with the auction still going? What if she is there to trap you?” Victor questioned.“Just gather the others and do what you are told!” galit na sago

    Habang nag-uusap si Liraz at ng boss niya, binisita naman ni Laverna si Lily sa kwarto nito. Hindi na niya hawak-hawak ang espadang ginamit niya sa pagbugbog kay Liraz. Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Katulad noong mga nakalipas na araw, tahimik lang si Lily ngunit nang magsara ang pinto ay agad siyang napabangon.“How’s Liraz faring?” tanong nito.Ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na umimik siya mula noong nakulong siya sa white room kaya naman nabigla si Laverna. Hindi niya inaasahang tila walang epekto kay Lily ang tinatawag nilang “white room torture.” Gayunpaman, hindi masyadong halata ang pagbabago sa ekspresyon niya. Naupo siya sa nag-iisang puting lamesa habang kaharap si Lily.“You must have enjoyed beating her up after going through hell because of her and her husband,” dagdag niya habang nakangisi. “Anyway, there is one thing I am curious about.”Tumayo si Lily saka dahan-dahang nilapitan si Laverna.“Now that my ex-husband is gone and the man closest to him is my son, are you

    Attached with the message sent to all bidders was the image of Laverna with her middle finger raised while holding the printout of her bounty. Right to next to her was Joseph, a declaration that the founder of Black Stallion truly had Laverna under his wing as of the moment.Isang malakas na tawa ang pinakawalan ni Julian habang nakatingin sa mensaheng natanggap niya. Hindi naman kasi niya inakalang pati si Laverna ay ibebenta ng Black Stallion. All this time, he had been thinking that they were going to use her as one of those people who would take guard at the final item for the auction. Mas natatawa pa siya sa kadahilanang alam niyang maiinis at ikagagalit ito ni Nicholas.“Things involving this Laverna woman really do spice things up,” komento ng consigliere habang kaharap ang bagong pinuno ng Luciano na hinahasa niya upang maging kasing-galing o mas gumaling pa kaysa kay Caesar.“Should we go to the auction hotel ourselves?” tanong ng bagong pinuno na siyang nakapagpabago agad sa

    Napahawak nang mahigpit si Laverna sa baso ng kaniyang kape habang hinihintay ang mga susunod na sasabihin ni Liraz. Ngunit sa sumunod na limang minuto, purong katahimikan lang ang nanggaling kay Liraz.Nakatalikod ito sa CCTV habang nakasandal sa puting dingding. Napabuntong hininga na lamang si Laverna, senyales ng kawalan ng kaniyang pag-asa na malaman ang katotohanan sa likod ng pagkamatay ni Anna. Gayunpaman, hindi niya inaalis ang tingin kay Liraz.Bigla naman itong lumingon sa CCTV habang nakangiti. Her smile was wide as if the edges of her lips could reach her ears. Her eyes widened with thrill and excitement, making it seem like she was about to drop the most pleasant news.“I killed her!” sigaw niya bago humagalpak sa tawa. “Alam mo kung bakit?”Liraz glued her sight on the CCTV as if she knew that Laverna was watching her. The grin on her lips never left as another word left her mouth.“Because you and Nicholas treasure her so much. She is the only hope that my husband is h

    Laverna opted not to visit either Liraz or Lily that night. She wanted them to be in their white rooms for two or three days to make sure that they would slowly lose their minds. Kinaumagahan, mag-isang kumakain sa dining area si Laverna. Tanging ang ingay lang ng mga kubyertos ang naririnig sa silid na iyon.Maya-maya pa ay sumabay sa kaniya si Mino na ngayo’y kitang-kita ang eye bags niya. Para bang tatlong araw din siyang hindi natulog.“Kamusta naman si Clarrisse?” tanong ng lalaki bago kinain ang unang slice ng kaniyang steak.Nagkibit-balikat si Laverna.“She volunteered to become bait.”“Magandang ideya din ‘yon lalo na at alam ni Nicholas na pinapangalagaan mo ang pinsan mo...”Napatigil siya nang makitang umiling ang dalaga na siyang dahilan para tumaas ang kilay niya.“Anong...” Ginaya ni Mino ang pag-iling ni Laverna. “I sent her to a private island. Sa tingin mo talaga na hahayaan ko na naman siyang mawala pagkatapos kong malaman ang lahat?”Natahimik ang binata pagkatapo

    “What?!” sabay na sigaw nina Liraz at Lily nang marinig nila mismo kay Clarrisse na dadalo si Laverna sa kanilang secret meeting.“You’re not joking, are you?” saad pa ni Lily na halatang hindi masyadong naniniwala sa kaniyang narinig. “I mean... I have been trying to convince her before, but she never listened.”“Well... She probably changed her mind after what happened a year ago,” sumbat naman ni Clarrisse. “Plus, she is just recovering now so I’d like to apologize in advance if she does something offensive or anything.”Tahimik lamang si Liraz. Sa hindi niya malamang dahilan, bumilis ang pagtibok ng kaniyang puso. Dahil ba iyon sa excitement dahil magiging kakampi na rin nila si Laverna o dahil ba sa takot na buhay ito at may malaking galit pati sa kaniya dahil sa ginawa ni Nicholas? She could not tell, but she wished it was the former.“How did you convince her to join us?” tanong ni Liraz.“She actually listened to our conversation the last time we met. I told her that she shou

    Laverna froze upon hearing those words. Her glass of champagne, which she was about to drink, broke after she gripped it too tight. Its content that used to be yellowish in color was now stained with scarlet as it spilled on her lap. “Oh, right. That poor little girl... I wonder who actually killed her on the night of Laverna’s wedding,” Lily commented after letting out a heavy sigh. She then turned to Clarrisse and caressed her arm.“And you are such a brave girl, Clarrisse, for trying to save her.” She paused. “Did you already mention this matter to Laverna?”Umiling si Clarrisse kahit alam niyang sa mga oras na iyon, alam na alam na ni Laverna ang katotohanan. Hindi niya maipinta kung ano ang reaksyon ng kaniyang pinsan ngunit sigurado siyang nasasaktan ito. Kumirot ang kaniyang dibdib dahil sa ganitong paraan niya pa malalaman ang totoo. Gayunpaman, hindi siya nagpatinag at pinagpatuloy ang kaniyang pakikipag-usap sa dalawa.Sa loob ng isang oras ng kanilang pag-uusap, nakatulala
