Triad Princess and the Mafia King 25 – ATTENTION
NAGKUMAHOG si Alessia patungo sa hospital nang mabalitaan niya ang nangyaring ambush kina Caio at Zhan. Kasama niya si Yaya Glo na hindi rin maitago ang matinding pag-aalala sa amo. Alessia wanted to look for Zhan first, but he couldn't go right at him without checking on Caio beforehand. Magkatabi lang ang hospital room ng dalawa. Mabuti na lang at nakita niyang abala si Caio na nakikipag-usap sa mga bodyguard nito at kay Giovanni nang sumilip siya kaya agad niyang pinuntahan ang kinaroroonan ni Zhan sa kabilang silid. “Anong nangyari?” Hindi naitago ni Alessia ang pag-aalala. “Na-ambush kami,” atubiling saad ng binata. Hindi ito makapag-kuwento nang maayos dahil nasa likuran ni Ali si Yaya Glo. “How’s your injuries?” Mahinang tanong ng dalaga. Zhan just shrugged. “Malayo sa bituka.” Pinaikot ni Alessia ang mata. “Titingnan ko muna ang lagay ni Sir Caio. Mabuti na lang at ligtas ka, Sean,” wika ni Yaya Glo nang makita nitong maayos ang lagay ng binata. “Oo nga po e,” tipid

ALESSIA pretended to be awaken. Kahit nagkukunwari lang siyang tulog kanina nang mapansin niyang nagising na si Caio. She was curious about Giovanni’s sudden intrusion. Masyado pa kasing maaga. Ano kayang impormasyon ang dala nito na tila hindi ito mapakali?She tried to eavesdrop, but she couldn’t hear a thing. Malamang tungkol sa negosyo. Kaso saktong pagmulat niya ng mata, bumulaga sa kanya ang galit na mukha ni Caio. Kuyom nito ang mga kamao habang nanlilisik ang mga mata.Ano kaya ang sinabi ni Giovanni para mag-react ito nang ganoon?“Sir Caio…” Alessia said awkwardly.Tila naman biglang nahimasmasan si Caio. “Oh, you’re awake.”Bahagyang yumuko si Alessia para magbigay galang kay Giovanni.“Bumalik na pala kayo, Sir Giovanni. Pasensya na, kinulit ko ang dalawang bodyguard sa labas para papasukin ako rito.”“That’s all right, Ali.” Tumango si Giovanni. “You’re part of the household.”“I will see you tonight, Gio.” Caio dismissed him afterward.Saka lang lumapit si Alessia at wal

HALOS magkasabay na lumapag sa airport ang private jet na sinasakyan nina Wei at Xiaoyu. Although Xiaoyu could come with Wei, she didn’t want to compromise his safety. Lalo na at maraming matang nakamatyag. Mahirap na at baka malaman pa ang koneksyon nila sa Triad.Xiaoyu called Wei. “I will see you at your concert, Wei. I hope Zhan and Ali can make it.”“I appreciate the effort, Meimei. Be careful, you are on the top of their bounty list,” sagot ni Wei sa kabilang linya.Xaioyu chuckled the way Wei called her. It was a Chinese term for a younger sister. “I know what I’m doing, Wei Gege.”Napailing na lang si Wei nang putulin ng dalaga ang tawag nito.Paul Chan sent his daughter to the Philippines on an important mission. At may kinalaman dito ang gaganapin niyang concert sa Manila. Paul was getting impatient.Wei took a deep breath and painted his most charming smile as

ALESSIA and Zhan sat on the VIP seat near the stage. Tuwang-tuwa naman si Nena sa lokasyon ng kanilang upuan.“Grabe! Ang lapit!” kinikilig na wika ni Nena habang naghihintay na magsimula ang concert.Nang lumabas si Wei sa stage, nakakabingi ang sigawan sa loob ng malaking stadium. Maging si Nena ay nakisigaw rin. Kapwa naman nakahalukipkip sina Ali at Zhan habang pinapanood ang kanilang kaibigan na abalang sumasayaw at kumakanta sa stage.Nang malapit nang matapos ang concert, halos magkasabay na umalis sina Ali at Zhan sa upuan.“Teka, saan ka pupuntahan Sean?” pasigaw na tanong ni Nena.“Sa CR.”“Hala, pati si Ali?!”Hindi pinansin ng binata ang sinabi nito. “Umuwi ka na muna mag-isa, Nena. Magde-date pa kami ni Ali pagkatapos.”“Paano naman ako? Ano ba ‘yan. Kainis talaga!” Himutok ni Nena.Zhan exited the c

ALESSIA smirked as her calculation was right. Agad niyang pinatago si Xiaoyu nang masiguro niyang ligtas ito dahil Alam niyang may mangangahas na pumasok sa loob ng suite nito. As of the moment, Xiaoyu was hiding inside Wei’s s suite.And since the assailant was so bold to get in despite the tight security outside, Alessia could tell the man was not a small fry.Malamang nagkalat ang back-up nito sa labas kaya kailangan niyang mas maging maingat.Nagpambuno silang dalawa. They fought with their hand-to-hand combat, her opponent was preventing her to use her gun. Naging nagtagumpay ang lalaki na mabitawan niya ang hawak na baril.“Shit!” Alessia cursed. The man was not holding back. Mabuti na lang at eksperto rin siya sa pakikipaglaban.Bawat suntok at sipa niya ay nasasalag nito. Well, he had a height advantage. Malaking tao ito. However, it did not intimidate her. Ilang malaking tao na ba ang naitumba niya

HINAYAAN na lang ni Alessia na nakayapos sa kanya si Caio. Ramdam niya ang matinding pagod nito. Kahit naman siya ay ganoon din.“Where did you and Sean go? Hm.” Caio playfully kissed her shoulder.“Ah, nagpunta kami sa tabing dagat.” Lihim na nag-alis ng bara sa lalamunan si Ali. Kaswal siyang uminom ng gatas.“Did you enjoy it?” Dahan-dahan siya nitong pinihit paharap.“‘Yong concert? Oo naman. Ang pogi ni Wei Chan! Salamat sa VIP seat.” She pretended her eyes to blink dreamily.“I want to see you happy. I hope you’re not doing the deed with my driver, Ali. It will be a breach of our contract.”“The deed?” Umastang lutang si Alessia na kunwari ay hindi niya naintindihan ang sinabi nito.“I mean, sleeping with him.”Nag-angat siya ng tingin at sinalubong niya ang malamlam nitong mata. “Gra

NAGISING si Alessia kinabukasan na nag-iisa sa higaan. When she checked the digital clock on the bedside table, it was past nine in the morning.Napangiti si Alessia nang maalala ang mainit na pinagsaluhan nila ni Caio. She couldn’t hide her excitement as they agreed to do it frequently. Ibig sabihin ay madadalas itong pumirmi sa bahay.Kababangon niya pa lang nang biglang iniluwa si Caio sa pinto. He looked fresh. Suot nito ang isang itim na t-shirt at khaki na shorts. Hawak nito ang isang baso.“I knew you’d be awake this time. Here I prepared a glass of milk. I spilled everything last night.” Caio grinned mischievously.Nag-init naman ang mukha ng dalaga. Pero hindi niya pinatulan ang panunudyo nito.“Salamat. Nakakahiya naman ikaw pa talaga ang nagdala,” aniya matapos kunin ang basong dala ng binata.Alessia sipped the milk. Normally, she’d drink tea first thing in the morning. Pero

NAGPAALAM si Alessia kay Yaya Glo na aalis siya ng bahay. Runchu picked her up as soon as she was outside the subdivision’s vicinity.“How’s Wei?” Tanong niya sa bodyguard ng kaibigan.“Not good. We couldn't contact you last night, even Zhan. Something happened.”Biglang nakaramdam ng kaba si Alessia. But she kept her composure. “How about Xiao?”“She is missing,” ani Runchu habang nakatuon ang atensyon sa daan at kalmadong nagmamaneho.“You must be kidding! Paano nangyari ‘yon?!” Gulat na gulat ang dalaga sa nalaman.“Better talk with Master Wei. I have no say in this matter.”Nagtangis ang mga bagang ni Alessia. “Damn it!”Runchu drove him to a private residence in the middle of the woods. Isa lang ito sa napakaraming pag-aari ni Paul Chan na nagsisilbi ring rest house ng kanilang grupo. The location was i

Triad Princess and the Mafia King 49 – SHOCKING REVELATION
MABILIS na lumipas ang isang buwan. Nanatili si Alessia sa bahay ng pamilya sa Hong Kong bagama’t sumaglit siya ng ilang araw sa Beijing para personal na asikasuhin ang ilang negosyong naiwan ni Paul Chan.Pero kakaiba ang gising niya nang umagang iyon dahil agad niyang naramdaman na may kakaiba sa katawan niya.After she sipped her morning tea, her tummy seemed to rumble. Parang hinahalukay ang sikmura niya dahilan para tumakbo siya patungo sa banyo at halos bumaliktad ang sikmura niya kakasuka.Pulang-pula ang mukha ni Alessia nang tingnan niya ang sariling repleksyon sa salamin. Sobrang lakas din ng kaboy ng dibdib niya lalo na at may hinala na siya kung bakit siya nagkakaganoon.‘No fucking way!’ She just missed her period this month.Mariin siyang napahawak sa lavatory. Ano ba ang gagawin niya oras na makumpirma niya ang hinala?Alessia hardly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Kinalma niya ang sarili para makapag-isip siya nang maayos.“I need to get rid of it…” bulong niya
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 48 – THE HARSH REALITY
“EXCUSE me,” Alessia excused herself to answer the call. Hindi naman nag-usisa si Jian. Pero siniguro niyang hindi nito maririnig ang anumang pag-uusap nila sa kabilang linya.Alessia cleared her throat before she spoke. “Hello?”“Ali, thank God you picked up! How are you there?” There was a relief on Caio’s voice on the other line. Alessia gave him a contact information before she left the Philippines. Para masiguro niyang hindi ito makakawala sa kanya oras na isagawa na niya ang mga plano. “Okay naman ako. Bakit, may problema ba?”“Silly, no. I just want to inform you that I’m flying to Italy. Baka matagalan ako bago makauwi. So, you may extend your vacation in the province as well.”Umangat ang isang kilay ni Alessia. She was becoming more suspicious. Was Caio laying trap by dropping his location? “S-sige, mabuti pa nga. Mga ilaw araw ka ba d’yan?”“Well, a few weeks maybe. But I’ll go home quickly as I can after I fix everything here. Okay?”“Ah, naintindihan ko.”“Wait, you so
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 47 – SEND-OFF
LUMIPAD patungong Hong Kong si Alessia para magpalamig dahil sa operasyong ginawa nila bilang paghihiganti sa La Guardia. Nagpaalam siya kay Yaya Glo na baka hindi na siya bumalik sa mansion. Yaya Glo wished her the best. Hindi naman ito naging mausisa.Alessia needed some fresh air to contemplate. Bukod pa roon ay gusto niyang dalawin ang ama. She hated him, but she owed her life to him.“Ali! Welcome back!” Tuwang-tuwa si Vesta nang salubungin siya nito sa bahay.“It’s nice to see you again, Vesta. Where’s Papa?”“He’s in his room, recuperating. Hyacinth is looking after him.”“Where’s Jian?” Inilinga niya ang mata sa paligid.“He’s out to run an errand. Why did Zhan Ge not come with you? I haven’t seen him for a long time.” Vesta pouted her lips. Paborito niyo kasing kalaro sa target shooting ang binata.“I believe he’ll be around soon. I want to see Papa.”“Go ahead, he’s expecting you.”Nagmadali si Alessia patungo sa kinaroroonan ng ama. Naabutan niya itong nakaupo sa wheelchair
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 46 – PUZZLED
“YOU’RE awake!”Ang malinawag na mukha ni Giovanni ang nabungaran ni Caio pagmulat niya ng mata. Sandali niyang pinag-aralan ang paligid, mukhang nasa loob siya ng ospital.“Where am I?” tanong niya.“I brought you here as soon as I found you.” Biglang nagkunot ang noo ni Giovanni. “That makes me wonder why you’re leaning on a tree trunk unconscious. The fumes must have filled your lungs. Anyway, I’m glad you make it out alive. Akala ko talaga nasa loob ka pa ng warehouse nang sumabog.”Biglang naguluhan si Caio. “There was an explosion?”“Yes, unfortunately we lost millions of dollars because of that. However, your safety is our priority. Money will return, but you only have one life. Are you feeling better now?”Tumango si Caio kahit nananakit pa rin ang kanyang sentido. Pilit niyang inaalala ang nangyari nang gabing iyon. The last thing
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 45 – INDECISIVE
MABILIS na nakalayo si Alessia bago pa man tuluyang sumabog ang gusali. Tumawag siya kay Yun gamit ang kanyang smart watch. “Retreat! Back to the base, now!”“Copy!” Listang sagot ni Yun. “Damn it! Shit! Shit!” Panay ang mura ni Alessia habang tinatahak ang daan paalis. Kaswal siyang sumakay sa kanyang motorsiklo at mabilis na pinaharurot iyon. This can’t be happening! Mariing umiling si Alessia dahil masyadong lutang ang isip niya at wala sa daan ang kanyang atensyon. This could lead to an accident if she weren’t careful. Nakasalubong pa niya ang mga fire truck kasama ng ilang police patrol car. Pero hindi siya nabahala. Sobrang lakas pa rin ng kabog ng dibdib niya. How could she tell the squad that he personally knows the Mafia King? She should’ve listened to Zhan. Totoo nga talaga ang kasabihang laging nasa huli ang pagsisisi.There were so many red flags about him, but Alessia chose to ignore it because she was confident, she had the upper hand. Iba rin talaga maglaro ang tadh
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 44 – MEDUSA AND THE KING
ALESSIA meticulously did her task as the Vanguard ordered. Tumawag siya kay Caio gamit ang burner phone habang nasa likuran niya nagliliyab ang isa sa pinakamalaking warehouse ng mga armas na pag-aari ng kalaban.Kasama ng ilang tauhan, lumusob sila sa warehouse na ito matapos makumpirma ang impormasyong isa sa pinakamataas na opisyal ng La Guardia ang nagpapatakbo rito.Alessia was hoping the king would come. Kaya sinadya niyang ipakilala ang sarili bilang Medusa. She had to end this war quickly. Kapag napatay na niya ang leader ng kalaban, tiyak na masisira ang chain of command nila.Ren and Zhan planned their way of infiltration. The four of them had a different task at hand. Si Zhan ang nakatalaga kay Rafaella Gauci. Habang sina Ren at Wei ay pinasok rin ng mga ito ang dalawa pang malalaking warehouse sa labas ng syudad. This could paralyze the Mafia’s operation for a while.Ngumiti si Alessia mula sa pinagkukublian nang makita ang tatlong sasakyan na paparating. Lumabas mula roon
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 43 – BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
“LET’S give him a benefit of the doubt. The world is big, that could be Sean’s doppelganger.” Caio said nonchalantly. Matapos niyang makahuma sa pagkabigla. He had to think rationally because it would be unfair to judge without solid proof.“It’s too much of a coincidence.”“If Sean is Zeus, he had hundreds of chances to kill me, Gio. But he never did.” Patuloy na pagtatanggol niya sa driver. Ayaw niyang maging padalos dalos. Lalo na at wala namang ipinakitang masama at kaduda-duda sa kanya ang lalaki nang mga panahong naglagi ito sa bahay niya at silang dalawa lang ang magkasama.“Maybe he never did because he’s unaware of your identity!”Caio shrugged. “It could be. But an assassin of Zeus’ caliber would not simply infiltrate my domain that easy. Didn’t you have a background check on him. You said he’d clean. Among the high-ranking officials of the La Guardia, you are the most suspicious. No one could get through in your prying eyes.”“Yes, but—”“Gather more evidence. Besides, if h
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 42 – THE VANGUARD
THE three high ranking officials of the Chan Clan gathered inside the private study. Hindi na nagpatumpik pa si Ren habang naghihintay sila sa pagdating ni Ali. “This will be an all-out war against the Mafia. Uncle Paul started it, and we need to finish it,” wika ni Ren. Nakaupo silang tatlo na magkakaharap sa katamtamang laki na parihabang mesa. “How did uncle take it?” tanong ni Zhan.“He’s hospitalized. Only the squad knows about Uncle Paul’s current health condition. If someone leaks this crucial information, other clans will take advantage of it. The Triad will be in chaos because of an internal conflict, as other clans wanted to take the highest position in the organization.” Huminga nang malalim si Ren. “Fortunately, Jian and the girls are there to look for him and the business. As of now, we’re all good.”“Poor Xiao, this is all my fault. If only I tracked her on time this wouldn't have had happened.” Patuloy na sinisisi ni Wei ang sarili. Although no one blamed him for anyt
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 41 – TEMPORARY COMFORT
ALESSIA was surprised when she opened her eyes, Caio was still beside her. Nakayakap ito nang mahigpit sa kanya at payapang natutulog.Pinagmasdan niya ang mukha nito. She playfully touched the tip of his nose. Indeed, his presence made her feel at peace. Pero natatakot siyang masanay sa ganoon dahil alam naman niyang dinadaya rin niya ang sarili. She was firm at first, she’d never fall for him. Pero si Caio ang natatanging patunay na kabila ng impyernong pinagdaanan niya mula pagkabata, hindi siya tuluyang naging manhid. She was a human after all, capable of giving love—and it could be her ultimate weakness.Kumibot ang labi ni Caio. Namalayan na lang ni Alessia na unti-unti siyang napapangiti.‘I'm sorry, Caio. I need to leave for a while,’ aniya sa isip. She had to avenge Xiaoyu and find her body to give her a proper send off.Caio slowly opened his eyes. Kumurap ito nang ilang ulit matapos ay sumila
