2024-12-12 07:00:41ALESSIA 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

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 a

“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,

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 r

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

“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

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

“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

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

GIOVANNI gaped at Caio upon recognizing Alessia. Pero hindi ito nagkumento nang kahit ano. Naghintay lang ito ng magiging desisyon ng binata lalo pa at kita sa video na tila aksidenteng nakita ito ng bata.“Recall our men. I will handle this alone.” Caio’s jaw tightened. Masyado siyang nagpatangay sa emosyon, ngayon ay hindi na niya mababawi na marami nang nakakaalam ng tungkol kay Wushi. Indeed, he couldn’t hide his son forever.“Yes, Boss!” Si Carlito ang sumagot. Dali-dali itong lumabas ng technical room para tumalima sa utos.It took a while before Giovanni found the right words to say. “I never believe in fate until this shit happens. Perhaps she won’t hurt your son.” Sinikap ni Giovanni na maging magaan ang kanilang pag-uusap. Caio looked utterly disturbed.“You don’t know how merciless she is. She could kill children, remember?” ani Caio na halata ang pagkabalisa.“You’re right. But it won’t be long until she learns that Wushi is her son. Are you ready to defend once she waged

SANDALING hindi nakahuma si Alessia sa mga narinig mula kay Rouyun. She was confused for a moment. Bigla lang siyang natinag nang biglang kinuha ng binata ang kanyang kamay at ipinatong ang baril nitong kalibre kuwarenta y singko.“You can punish me now for betraying you. But I never regret choosing your life over anything. Kahit pa bumalik ako sa nakaraan, iyon at iyon pa rin ang gagawin ko. I’m sorry, Ali.” Yumuko si Rouyun.Ibinalik ni Alessia ang baril. “I can pull the trigger right now. But I can’t lose my best commander.”Muling kinuha ni Rouyun ang kanyang armas. “You were doing fine after that incident; I tried to tell you many times. Pero sa tuwing nakikita kong masaya ka na, I stopped myself. I have witnessed how it broke you, Ali. Aside from Master Zhan, I’m the only person who knows you well.”Alessia heaved a long deep sigh. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t change a thing, Yun. We just paid each other’s life debt. Hindi pa rin magbabagong ako ang pumatay kay Isabella, at hindi

“ANO ang gusto mong pag-usapan?” tanong ni Alessia. Kanina niya pa nahalata ang biglang pagbabago ng mood nito mula nang ipakilala niya si Wushi.Sandaling nag-alinlangan si Rouyun na parang hindi alam kung paano sisimulan ang mga sasabihin.“Well…” Huminga nang malalim ang binata. “I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but knowing Wushi’s existence, I think it’s the perfect time for you to decide whether you’ll marry Alfieri or wage another war.”Awtomatikong nagkunot ng noo si Alessia. Hindi ugali ni Rouyun ang manghimasok sa personal niyang buhay. Pero sa tono ng pananalita nito ngayon ay parang may itinatago ito sa kanya na dapat niyang malaman.“Easy answer, I’d flip the hell for my son, Yun. Even if it meant waging a war with the Mafia.”Rouyun leaned his back in the railing. “Huwag kang padalos-dalos, Ali. Baka magsisi ka sa huli. Hindi mo ba isasaalang-alang ang nararamdaman ng bata kung sa kamay mo mamamatay ang kanyang ama?”

“OUCH!” Muntik nang mapasubsob ang bata. Mabuti na lang at mahigpit ang pagkakabuhol ni Alessia sa seatbelt nito. Alessia thought she might be delirious. Tama ba ang narinig niya? O pinaglalaruan lang siya ng imahinasyon. The kid’s name is Wushi Alfieri, and he insisted on calling her Nanay? ‘What sorcery is this?’ Naisip niya. Ilang ulit na bumuka ang bibig ni Alessia pero walang katagang lumabas. Napako lang ang tingin niya sa bata. Nagawa pa niyang pisilin ang maumbok nitong pisngi para siguruhin na hindi siya dinadaya ng paningin. She must be seeing a ghost! “Nanay, what’s wrong?” Untag ni Wushi. Alessia composed herself. Muli niyang pinaandar ang sasakyan at maayos itong iginarahe. Tiyak na malalaman din niya ang lahat. “Are you hungry?” Ang namutawi sa bibig ni Alessia. Tumango ang bata. Tinanggal niya ang seatbelt nito. “Can I hug you?” she asked. Tumango si Wushi. Niyakap niya nang mahigpit ang bata. Hindi niya namalayan na bigla siyang napasinok dahil sa tinitimping

SA LOOB ng amusement park, patagong ngumiti si Chiara sa gitna ng kaguluhan. She planned everything. At sa ginawa niya, tiyak na hindi maghihinala si Caio na sinadya niyang iwan sa kalagitnaan ng maraming tao ang anak nito. Tiningnan pa niya ito mula sa malayo na naglalakad ng walang dereksyon.‘I can’t kill that little cretin, so let the stampede kill you.” Chiara thought.She liked Caio. She even begged her father to marry her off to him. Pero ni hindi siya nito mabigyan ng pansin kahit kusa niyang sinusubsub ang sarili rito dahil sa anak nito. And with the kid gone in the picture, Caio and her could get married and create their own children. Isang malaking sagabal para sa kanya ang anak nito sa pagkabinata.“Hala, Carlito! Nawawala si Wushi!” Gayun na lang ang takot ni Nena nang hindi mahagilap ang alaga. Inutusan kasi siya ni Chiara na bumili ng lollipop, pagkatapos ngayon malalaman niya nawawala ang bata.

BIGLANG lumapit si Wushi sa ama ilang sandali matapos makaalis ni Rafaella. Nakasunod rito sina Nena at Carlito.“Daddy! It’s time to visit the park!” Bakas ang excitement sa boses ng bata.Tumingin si Caio sa relong pambisig. “Hmm, you are right! Again, what is the number one rule of going out?”“Never tell my name to a stranger!” Bibong sagot ni Wushi.“Very good, son. Now, behave here and wait for daddy, okay? I’ll prepare. Your Aunt Chiara will come with us.”Nanulis ang nguso ni Wushi pagkarinig sa pangalan ng babaeng pakakasalan ng ama pero tumango rin ito sa huli.Nitong taon lang madalas ipasyal ni Caio ang bata sa labas. Iyon nga lang, saglit lang iyon dahil sa mahigpit na seguridad na nakapalibot sa mag-ama. Caio was even thinking of constructing a theme park solely for his son. Pero ayaw naman niyang masanay itong nilalayo niya sa mga tao.Mabilis na nakabihis si Caio at ilang sandali pa ay pumarada ang sasakyan ni Chiara dahil kagagaling lang nito sa pag-shopping.“Great,

NAGKAROON ng emergency meeting ang Great White Shark squad nang malaman nila ang nangyari kay Alexei. Even Hyacinth who already retired rushed to come to check on Alessia. Everyone gathered in their private base in Harbin, China. Hindi nila alintana ang matinding lamig sa labas dahil nanatiling mainit ang kanilang pag-uusap.“We were worried about you, Ali. Thank god you’re unscathed. You’re really unbeatable in swift planning. You easily eradicated the Red Knights!” Bakas ang paghanga sa tinig ni Ren.“Give the proper credits to Yun and the Phantoms, without them it wouldn’t be easy.” Tipid na ngumiti si Alessia sa kanyang kanang-kamay na nakaupo malapit sa kanya.Everyone congratulated Rouyun and Alessia for the successful assassination plan. Naghahanda rin sila sa posibleng pagganti ng kalaban.“I will find a way to stop the circulating gossip of you killing your husband in your wedding night in order to acquire the bratva army,” positibong wika ni Wei.“We can’t stop it now.

HINDI mapakali si Alessia sa loob ng master’s bedroom. Kanina pa siya palakad-lakad habang naghihintay sa pagbabalik ni Alexei.This was supposed to be their wedding night, yet here she was, waiting for her husband after he went into a lion’s den. Hindi niya inaasahan na talagang aalis ito dahil lang sa pag-udyok ni Viktor.“Yun, any development? I really have a bad feeling about this.” Tanong ni Alessia sa binata nang nagpasya siyang lumabas ng silid. Naroon ito sa balkonahe na tahimik na nagmamatyag habang binabantayan siya.“Trust your husband. Siguradong alam naman niya ang ginagawa. He’ll not jeopardize his life, lalo na ngayong kasal na kayo.” Ngumiti si Yun. “Why don’t you wait for him in your bedroom? He’ll be back later for sure. Wear your sexiest lingerie as you said.”“The timing is suspicious, don’t you think?” Naupo si Alessia sa leather couch na hindi pinansin ang pagbibiro nito.“Stop overthinking, Princess. Now that you’re married, you’re literally the most powerful wo
Triad Princess and the Mafia King 64 – PRIVATE CEREMONY
GAYA ng napagkasunduan ay ginanap ang isang simpleng kasal nina Alessia at Alexei sa private residence ng mga Ivankov sa Kazan. Both of them wore simple clothing for the occasion.It was a wonderful sunset with as the moon slowly showed itself waxing crescent. Tanging si Rouyun at ang pinsan ni Alexei na si Irina ang sumaksi sa kanilang pag-iisang dibdib na ginanap sa kalagitnaan ng malawak na flower farm sa likod-bahay.“You may now kiss the bride!” The marriage officiant announced.Unti-unti namang inilapit ni Alexei ang mukha kay Alessia at dahan-dahang tinawid ang oagitan ng kanilang labi.Alessia closed her eyes to feel the kiss. Kahit ang totoo ay wala siyang maramdamang kakaiba. Siguro ay darating ang araw na matutunan niya rin itong mahalin.Alexei was a perfect guy for her. Ni minsan ay hindi siya nito binigyan ng sakit ng ulo sa nakaraang limang taon. He adored her and treated her as an equal. And betting her entire life with him would be worthwhile.“Congratulations!” Bati
