CALISTA'S P. O. VThe descent to the breakfast table should have been a mundane act, a simple transition from one part of the day to another. Instead, it felt charged, tense, heavy with unspoken anxieties and simmering resentments. Niccolo walked beside me, his arm brushing against mine, his touch both possessive and protective. But the air crackled with a different kind of energy, a different kind of tension. Lyra was there, already seated at the table, her presence a stark contrast to the usual quiet solitude of the mornings. Her gaze was sharp, her expression cold, her demeanor hostile. And it was directed squarely at me.“Good morning, Lyra,” I said, my voice carefully modulated, my tone laced with a practiced politeness. The greeting was met with a withering stare, a cold, dismissive silence. The pretense of normalcy, the carefully constructed illusion of a happy couple— it was crumbling.“So the news is true,” Lyra finally said, her voice sharp, her tone laced with a mixture o

CALISTA'S P. O. VLyra’s warning echoed in my ears, a chilling reminder of the danger I was in, the precariousness of my situation. Kahit nakabalik na ako sa kwarto ay tumatakbo pa rin 'yon sa isip ko. At ngayon na mag isa lang ako ay lalong inaba ng isipin na 'yon ang utak ko. The casual cruelty with which Niccolo had struck his own sister, the cold fury in his eyes— it had shaken me to my core. If he could treat his own family with such brutality, what would he do to me? Lalo na kapag galit pa s'ya? Especially if he discovered my deception, my manipulation, my plan for revenge?Fear gnawed at me, a cold, relentless dread that threatened to consume me. The carefully constructed facade, the calculated confidence, the unwavering resolve— they all crumbled in the face of this raw, visceral fear. My safety, my well-being— they were suddenly precarious, uncertain, threatened. The escape, the revengpe— they seemed increasingly distant, increasingly elusive.The thought of retreating, of

NICCOLO'S P. O. VLyra’s words struck me like a physical blow, each syllable a sharp, stinging rebuke, each accusation a cold, hard truth I couldn’t deny. We stood facing each other, the tension between us thick, palpable, suffocating. Her eyes blazed with a fury I hadn’t seen before, a righteous anger that chilled me to the bone. And I knew, with a chilling certainty, that she was right. I had been wrong. Terribly, horribly wrong. Just somehow. “You’re making a huge mistake, Kuya,” she said, her voice low, her tone laced with a chilling conviction. “Isang napakalaking pagkakamali. Dead wrong to defend that woman. One day, you’ll see it. Tandaan mo 'yan. And when that day came, expect me to say "I told you so."”Her words hung in the air, a heavy weight pressing down on me, suffocating me. Ayoko s'yang kaharapin lalo na at pareho pa kaming mainit. But I couldn't shake the feeling that she just made me feel. At ayoko rin na kimkimin lahat ng 'to. And somehow, I know, I better spea

CALISTA'S P. O. VMy mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, a tempestuous storm of fear, anger, and determination. Lyra’s warning, Niccolo’s brutality, the precariousness of my situation—they all swirled together, a chaotic mix that threatened to overwhelm me. Hanggang ngayon, hindi 'yon mabura bura sa isip ko. Escape, revenge— they seemed increasingly distant, increasingly elusive. And yet, I would not surrender. I would not give up. I would win.Determinado akong lumaban at determinado akong manalo. Dahil determinado akong makuha ang hustisya. I was lost in thought, my mind racing, my senses heightened, when the door creaked open, and Niccolo entered the room. He approached me slowly, his movements hesitant, his demeanor subdued. He knelt beside me, his gaze lingering on my face, his expression a mixture of guilt and concern. He reached out, his hand gently caressing my cheek, his touch tentative, hesitant.“Calista,” he whispered, his voice soft, his tone laced with a gen

CALISTA'S P. O. VThe darkness of my room was a comforting blanket, a familiar solace after the day's events. Medyo napagod ako sa pag iikot sa bahay at sa paggawa ng ilang activities. I've decided to bake some chocolate cake. 'Tapos marami pa akong ginawa kaya napagod na rin ako. Sa sobrang pagod ko, hindi ko na nagawang hintayin si Niccolo o alamin man lang kung nakauwi na ba s'ya. I don't care about it, anyway. Just… part of the plan. I was drifting off to sleep, my mind still reeling from Lyra’s warning, Niccolo’s apology, the ever-present tension simmering beneath the surface of our uneasy truce, when the door creaked open. Nag aagaw na ang antok at kamalayan ko nang nga oras na 'yon. Niccolo stood silhouetted in the doorway, his upper body bare, his physique strikingly defined against the dim light, his baggy pants the only concession to modesty. My breath hitched in my throat. He was undeniably attractive, his muscular frame a testament to his strength, his sculpted featur

CALISTA'S P. O VLyra’s words, her accusations, her unwavering hostility— they all painted a vivid picture of the Fibonacci family, a portrait of dysfunction and chaos that far surpassed anything I had ever imagined. It was a family bound by blood, by loyalty, by shared history, yet riven by internal conflicts, simmering resentments, and a palpable sense of dysfunction. They were a unit, a whole, yet they were more fractured, more chaotic, more unstable than any family I had ever known. The intensity of their emotions, the ferocity of their conflicts, the depth of their resentments— it was all overwhelming, all suffocating. And it solidified my determination to escape, to break free from their toxic embrace, to distance myself from their destructive influence. This was a family I would regret being a part of, a family I wanted nothing to do with.Kung titingnan, mukhang magulo pa sila sa pamilya na meron ako, eh. Kahit 'wag na idamay 'yung katotohanan na miyembro pa sila ng isang ma

CALISTA'S P. O. VWaking up alone, the emptiness beside me a stark reminder of Niccolo's absence, sent a jolt of something akin to disappointment through me. Bakit pa napakahilig n'yang mang iwan? Bakiy napakahilig n'yang iwanan ako?The carefully constructed intimacy of the previous night, the calculated surrender, the fleeting moment of connection— it had all been a performance, a calculated move in a larger game. And yet, a strange sense of unease settled over me, a disquieting feeling that something was amiss.I went downstairs, intending to find Niccolo, to gauge his mood, to assess the situation. But instead of him, I found Lyra, her presence unexpected, her demeanor hostile. She was leaning against a wall, her arms crossed, her expression unreadable. The encounter was fraught with unspoken tensions, simmering resentments, and a palpable sense of danger.Bago pa man n'ya ako makita ay tumalikod na agad ako at naglakad ulit paakyat sa hagdan. But I guess, it was too late. Dahil

CALISTA'S P. O. VHindi ako nakatulog ng maayos kagabi. Hindi kasi mawala sa isip ko kung ano ba 'yung surprise ba sinasabi ni Niccolo. But anyways, wala na akong pake sa hindi maayos at kulang na tulog. Ang mahalaga, nagising pa ako. And that I have one more day to establish my revenge! The morning light felt different, brighter, sharper, imbued with a sense of anticipation I couldn't quite explain. Niccolo's written note of notice, his promise of a surprise, had kept me awake half the night, my mind racing, my imagination spinning out scenarios, possibilities, plans. And now, as I saw him standing before me, his expression a mixture of anticipation and amusement, I knew this was it. This was my chance.He was dressed impeccably, his usual casual attire replaced by a tailored suit that accentuated his physique, his presence commanding, his demeanor confident. And in his hand, he held a sleek, modern smartphone. "Ready to know what surprise do I have for you?” nakangiting sabi n'y

MARGARET'S P. O. VThe funeral was a grotesque parody of mourning. I stood, impeccably dressed, a picture of serene composure amidst the displays of feigned grief. Arnaldo’s death had been swift, efficient, a mere footnote in my relentless pursuit of power. His vast fortune, now mine, was merely a stepping stone, a foundation upon which I would build my empire.The days that followed were a whirlwind of legal maneuvering, financial transactions, and ruthless consolidation of power. I moved swiftly, decisively, silencing any opposition with a mixture of charm and intimidation. Those who questioned my actions, those who dared to challenge my authority, found themselves swiftly and unceremoniously removed from the equation. Their fate served as a warning to others, a chilling reminder of the consequences of defiance.My daughter, Monica, reveled in our newfound power, her ambition mirroring my own. She was a loyal pawn, a ruthless instrument in my ascent, her eyes gleaming with the same

MARGARET'S P. O. VThe scent of lilies in my opulent bathroom did little to mask the stench of betrayal that clung to me. My reflection stared back, a stranger in a mask of composure. My new lover, Julian, was everything Arnaldo was not: young, vibrant, impossibly wealthy. Arnaldo, with his aging body and dwindling fortune, had become an anchor, a relic of a past I was eager to discard. He was nothing more than a means to an end, a stepping stone to a life of even greater luxury and power. And now, it was time for him to step aside.The plan was simple, yet elegant in its cruelty. A "car accident," staged with precision and discretion. It wouldn't be a blatant act of violence, nothing easily traceable back to me. Just a tragic mishap, a twist of fate. The perfect crime.Days bled into weeks, each moment a meticulous dance of preparation. I subtly shifted funds, creating a paper trail that pointed away from me, towards my old enemy, Niccolo Fibonacci, still languishing in prison. It wa

MARGARET'S P. O. VThe years that followed were a blur of opulence and carefully calculated risk. Arnaldo’s wealth had become our playground, a source of endless luxury and power. But it wasn't enough. The thrill of the game, the adrenaline rush of manipulating others, had become addictive. I craved more, something beyond the confines of our carefully constructed world. That's where the Fibonacci Mafia came in.They were a powerful organization, their tentacles reaching into every corner of the city's underbelly. I'd initially approached them cautiously, offering my services as a financial advisor, a seemingly innocuous role that allowed me to infiltrate their inner circle. My charm, my intelligence, my ruthless ambition quickly won their trust. I learned their secrets, their weaknesses, their intricate network of operations. I became an indispensable part of their operations, privy to their most sensitive information.But my ambition knew no bounds. I wasn't content to be merely a pl
To Keep a Homeless Mafia Boss SPECIAL CHAPTER 7
MARGARET'S P. O. VThe wedding was a spectacle, a lavish affair that masked the cold calculation that had orchestrated it. Arnaldo, still bearing the scars of grief, looked like a man walking through a dream, his eyes holding a strange mixture of sorrow and something akin to… contentment. Contentment that I had carefully cultivated, nurtured, and manipulated. My own daughter, Monica, stood beside me, a picture of innocent obliviousness, unaware of the darkness that fueled our ascent.The mansion was opulent, even more so than I remembered. It was a gilded cage, a testament to Arnaldo's wealth, a prize I had finally claimed. I stood in the master bedroom, gazing out at the sprawling gardens, a triumphant smile playing on my lips. Isabella’s presence was completely erased, her belongings gone, her memory relegated to a distant, inconvenient past. This was my victory, my conquest, my reward for a meticulously planned campaign of manipulation and deceit.Arnaldo, now my husband, was a sha
To Keep a Homeless Mafia Boss SPECIAL CHAPTER 6
MARGARET'S P. O. VThe polished mahogany of Arnaldo Sy’s office felt different this time, heavier, draped in a somber veil of grief. The air hung thick with unspoken sorrow, a stark contrast to the usual crisp efficiency that permeated the space. Arnaldo sat behind his large desk, his shoulders slumped, his face etched with a weariness that went beyond simple fatigue. He looked older, broken, the vibrant energy that had once characterized him extinguished, replaced by a hollow emptiness.I approached him slowly, my movements deliberate, my expression carefully crafted to convey sympathy and concern. The news of Isabella’s death had been plastered across every news outlet, a spectacle of tragedy that I had orchestrated with cold precision. Now, I would play the role of the sympathetic friend, the comforting presence in his time of need. My heart, however, felt strangely devoid of emotion, a cold, calculating engine driving my actions.“Arnaldo,” I said softly, my voice laced with a car

MARGARET'S P. O. VThe champagne was cold, the crystal flute elegant in my hand, but the celebratory mood felt hollow, a thin veneer over the churning anxiety within me. I sat alone in my opulent apartment, the city lights a blurred spectacle outside my window. The silence was deafening, a heavy blanket smothering the usual vibrant hum of the city. It was a silence pregnant with anticipation, a silence that screamed louder than any celebration.The news had been sparse, deliberately vague. A small chartered plane, en route to a remote region, had gone down. Details were scarce, the investigation ongoing. But I knew. I knew what had happened, what I had orchestrated. The weight of my actions pressed down on me, a crushing burden of guilt and exhilaration.My phone lay beside me, a cold, inert object. I longed for it to ring, to break the suffocating silence, to bring confirmation, to bring closure. But the silence persisted, stretching into an eternity of agonizing suspense. Each tick
To Keep a Homeless Mafia Boss SPECIAL CHAPTER 4
MARGARET'S P. O. VThe information arrived like a poisoned dart, precise and deadly. Isabella was scheduled to fly to a remote region in the north, leading a relief operation for victims of a recent typhoon. The details were scant, but enough to ignite the cold fire of my ambition. This was it, the opportunity I'd been waiting for, the perfect chance to finally take my plans to the next level. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat accompanying the chilling certainty that consumed me.I paced my opulent apartment, the city lights a glittering backdrop to my dark thoughts. The phone call had been brief, anonymous, a whisper in the night. But the information it contained was a detonator, setting off a chain reaction within me. This wasn't just about acquiring Arnaldo; it was about eliminating the obstacle, removing Isabella from the equation. The thought sent a shiver of exhilaration down my spine, mingling with a chilling sense of dread.The plan formed in my mind, swift
To Keep a Homeless Mafia Boss SPECIAL CHAPTER 3
MARGARET'S P. O. VThe week had been a blur of meticulously planned actions, each step designed to tighten the noose around Arnaldo Sy. My initial investment in SyCorp, while ultimately rejected by him personally, had still given me a small, yet strategically significant, stake in his company. It was a foothold, a tiny crack in his seemingly impenetrable world. Now, I was ready for the next phase.I returned to SyCorp’s headquarters, the familiar scent of polished wood and expensive coffee a constant reminder of my ambition. His secretary, a woman with eyes that missed nothing, greeted me with a polite, yet guarded smile."Mr. Sy isn't available at the moment, Ms. Holloway," she said, her voice carefully neutral. "However, he did leave this for you." She handed me a small, neatly folded piece of paper.It contained a single address: Willow Creek Park. My heart pounded a rapid tattoo against my ribs. He hadn't simply dismissed me; he'd lured me into a trap. A calculated, deliberate tra
To Keep a Homeless Mafia Boss SPECIAL CHAPTER 2
MARGARET'S P. O. VThe next day. The polished mahogany of Arnaldo Sy’s office felt cold beneath my fingertips. I sat across from him, the scent of expensive leather and old money clinging to the air, a stark contrast to the bitter taste of resentment that coated my tongue. He looked… different here, stripped of the casual charm he exuded at Calista’s birthday party. He was all sharp angles and controlled power, his dark eyes assessing me with a cool detachment that both intrigued and infuriated me.I’d come prepared, a meticulously crafted presentation outlining my investment proposal for SyCorp. It was a substantial offer, enough to significantly boost the company’s bottom line. It wasn't about the money, of course. It was about leverage, a strategic foothold in his world, a means to an end.“Mr. Sy,” I began, my voice smooth and controlled, a stark contrast to the tempest raging within me. “I believe SyCorp is on the verge of a significant breakthrough, and I’m eager to be a part o
