3

It has been three days since that incident, and Pierce has not spoken a word. The fact that he concealed what happened makes me very grateful.

Besides, for those three days I avoided Saint, I avoided any physical, emotional, or even spiritual contact with him. I want him to think carefully first if he really likes me, because I know he's just confused about his feelings for me.

"Hey, Danica. I heard you and Rozen are going out." Allison suddenly met me. I know he thinks I'm weak because he's been with me before. But now? Let's see how brave this witch is.

"I don't know if that will happen, I'm sure Rozen won't kill you. Because you're ugly!" Allison shouted shrill. I just hung in the air and continued walking.

I know this very well because the moment I walk away from him I know he will pull my hair to stop me from walking. So when I felt his hand approaching me, I immediately stepped aside.

I stepped to the side and I smiled when Allison fell and her First face. I heard the laughter of the students around us who saw what happened.

I will not allow someone like this to trample on my personality. I respect myself so much, and someone like Allison can't change that.

I was immediately startled when Eren suddenly appeared next to me.

"Danica, you should go to the rooftop," Eren said to me with a smiling dog, I immediately raised my eyebrows at what he said.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Someone wants to talk to you."

"Who?" Eren just shrugged his shoulders at me and immediately left.

Wait, am I going? Maybe that's a bad person, oh my classmates who hate me? But they know Eren, maybe it's safe because only the college department makes me go.

I looked at my wristwatch, 30 minutes before time. This better is good and safe, Eren.

I immediately went to the rooftop and when I opened the door, a strong and cold wind greeted me. I looked at the old bookshelves and saw a man crouching and leaning on them.

"Psalms?" when I said his name, he immediately raised his head and smiled at me.

"Why are you making me come here?" I asked him. He straightened up and came to me.

"I have to discuss with you, a very important matter." I frowned at what he said and sat in a broken armchair.

He stood in front of me and sighed. "I don't know if you'll like what I said. I've thought about it a lot and I can barely sleep just thinking about this..." he paused.

"About what, Psalm?" he breathed deeply again.

"I'm really nervous, Sat." I smiled at him, it's just a good feeling to have someone call your real name in a place that doesn't really know what it is.

"You can do that, it's better if you can say it so you can feel better." he nodded at what I said.

"You're right, it's not good if I keep it inside..." he said softly and looked at me again but now, all I see in his eyes are hope. He is hoping. Hoping about what?

"I've been thinking about this a lot of times, and I've made up my decision last night. Because of Sabrina... I like you. no, I don't just like you, I like you very much." My eyes rounded because of what he said.

He likes me. Psalm likes me! Oh, good heavens.

"And since we're old enough, I want to date you." I was surprised by what Psalm said, I didn't expect this kind of confession...but it immediately made me think.

I really like Psalm, but later on, I realized that I only like him as a friend. I only liked him because of the attention he gave me when I needed a friend. And I really admire him for that.

"Promise, Sab. I'll do anything to get you, everything you want I'll do. Even if you'll command me to catch a fly, I would gladly do that for you." Psalm pleaded.

"I will be at your side always, I'll be there if you need me. But first, allow me to court you..."

"I want you to know me better, and who I really am. I also want you more meet more. Would you allow me?" I used up all my brain cells to think.

If I allow him then I'll have a normal life just like everyone. Besides, I really like to experience, that a guy is flirting with you.

So..."Okay, I'm willing."

Maybe it would work?

Everything between me and Psalm went cool and good. Ever since I agreed to the idea that he would date me, I noticed that Saint didn't talk to me much. I don't go with him every time I go to school and come home because Psalm picks me up.

I really like that side of Psalm. And I think that Saint has been enlightened about his true feelings for me because he doesn't talk to me anymore. And that relieves me, not that I don't like Saint. But I don't want to be an obstacle to his work, just what if...what if the organization finds out about his real relationship with me?

I'm sure the organization will use me just to bring down Saint. Saint is the richest, strongest, and most respected mafia boss in the whole organization.

And as far as I know, my father is sitting next to Saint's position. Now it will be mine if I agree to be the heiress of Daddy's business. But I know Dad won't like that.

"Ma'am Sabrina, Sir Psalm is here." I nodded at what Manang Cillia said. I looked at Ate Mary.

"I'm leaving." I waved goodbye to  Mary, I glanced at Saint and he was just silently eating in his place.

I grabbed my bag and walked out of Saint's mansion. I saw Psalm standing outside his car while smiling at me. I smiled back at him.

"Good morning," he said smiling.

"Good morning.." I replied.

Like usual, he opened the door for me, and I stepped inside his car.

He turned around and got into the driver's seat and started the engine of his car. He immediately drove his car away from their Saint subdivision.

"Sab, I might not be able to take you home later," Psalm said sadly, I looked at him.

"Why?" I asked.

"We have swimming practice later because we participated in a contest." I nodded at what Psalm said.

"Alright. It's okay, I'll probably go with Pierce." I said. Saint told Pierce then that if no one would take me home, Pierce would just take me to Saint's house.

"Pierce? Are you close?" He asked.

"Ah a bit, because he's a family friend." But actually Saint's friend.

"I thought you were close because Pierce is quiet." He said laughing.

"Odette said the same thing, that Pierce is really quiet," I said.

I don't get Pierce, he's really quiet but I saw him one time talking to Saint and he was calm and seemed to act normal. But when he's at school, I feel like he's controlled, like he doesn't want to move too much because if he makes a mistake, someone will get mad at him.

His movements are always very polished, and economical but clear. So sometimes I wonder what he and Saint plan and why they actually entered Akademi High. I know it's not about education because they are young, I know they already know a lot.

Mafia Bosses are educated too young, Saint graduated from the underground school with the highest evaluation of 98.7

I remember what Ate Mary said, that studying in the underground organization is very difficult. The average human brain can only get 82.4 of evaluation. In addition to studying in the underground, that's where you can really test if a Mafia deserves to be a Mafia Boss.

Saint explained to me the ranks of being a Mafia. The Highest is, of course, the mafia bosses, next is the mafia prime, and last is the mafia elite.

As far as I know, Mafia Prime includes the children of Mafia Bosses, their rank only increases when the parent with the highest rank dies. While at. Mafia Elite are the Mafias who passed the evaluation with a 90.0 and above evaluation.

Saint said that if your evaluation reaches 98.0 and above, you will go directly to the Mafia Boss.

And back to the topic, with Saint's intelligence? He does not need to study in this school. And I know Pierce too.

So what is he really planning?

When we had lunch, as usual, I sat at Odette's table. Besides, I was just informed that we will be participating in Psalm's swimming contest because we will be doing a school paper about it. I'm not sure if Saint will allow me, maybe I'll ask Sister Mary for permission.

I'm sure Ate Mary will agree because she's kind to me. Odette even made a group chat with the seven of us with Journalism Club.

"This is how Cassidy and Danica are in charge of the pictures, you take the pictures. You probably have a DSLR, right?" DSLR? Camera? Maybe buy it from Saint or Ate Mary.

"Yes," Cassidy said.

"Yup." I lied.

"Rence and Stan will handle the editing." The two gave a thumbs-up with their mouths full of food.

"And me, Pierce, and Eren will be in charge of the text. The details of the event we need to take notes, okay?" Pierce nodded. Eren smirked at Odette while also nodding.

"Rence and Stan, please make a cover page that is catchy. The students seem to want to read our work..." She paused while scanning through her phone. "Plus I have created a page for us on the school forum, we will also post our work there so that students who are active on social media can also read it."

Odette is really a nice leader, she is very responsible and she thinks very creatively so she is very fit to be a leader in this club.

"Maybe everyone gets it, right?" We all nodded. "If you are not allowed, feel free to message our group chat so that I can be informed and give your task to others. Since the event is still two weeks from now."

"I have a suggestion." We all looked at Rence when he suddenly raised his hand.

"Since three days after the event we are still going to publish it, what if after the event we meet and gather everything we got so that it can be laid out properly and we can also ask you for suggestions about the editing," Rence said.

He has a point. Eren applauded what Rence said. "Wow, you have an idea, don't you," Eren said laughing.

"Fuck you," Rence said sternly and threw an apple at Eren.

"Yeah. That's nice, but where do we meet?" Stan asked. All of them, well except for Pierce looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"Eh whose house has more food?" Eren asked with a smile.

"With Danica!!" They shouted. I laughed at her.

"I'll let my parents know," I said. And they all cheered in glee.

As if I have parents.

Time went fast and I already told Pierce about going home with him. He didn't say anything and just nodded at me. I first went to my locker to leave my few notebooks.

As soon as I opened my locker, I was surprised by a dropped envelope coming from inside.

I looked around and didn't see anyone walking out of the girls' locker room. I carefully opened the letter and immediately my whole body was filled with nervousness and fear.

Sabrina,

What a happy life you have there huh? While I'm here being tortured by our mother animal? Maybe you didn't recognize me because we were separated when we were babies. But isn't it unfair, Sabrina?

You are breathing very clean air, while I am here on our mother's side suffering? Did you get into an elite school huh? But now, I'm out of the prison I came from and I'm going to take everything back from you, Sabrina.

You piece of crap, it wasn't really you who killed Daddy. It's not Mom too. Do you want to know?

Let's meet. Saturday. 1 PM. I'll text you the details, it's up to you if you want to go or not.

Goodbye, my little sister.

I have a brother. Didn't Mommy kill Daddy? Who is this? Is it really my brother? And...

Who killed Daddy?

I thanked Pierce for driving me home. And when I got home, I noticed two cars parked in the driveway of the house. Is there a visitor? I immediately straightened myself up and carefully entered the mansion.

I heard some laughter in the dining hall so I immediately peeked into the dining hall and saw Audrey with an old woman and a man who I suspected were her parents. I just took a deep breath.

Should I tell him about the letter that I received? He has a right to know that. And it's safer if Saint knows that. Maybe, I should tell him later. After their dinner.

I left the entrance of the dining hall and saw Sister Mary enter with a man. Boyfriend? or Friend? Why is everything happening tonight?

"Oh! Sean this is Sabrina. Sabrina this is Sean Gomez, my boyfriend." Oh my god... Sister Mary has a boyfriend! And he didn't even say anything to me!

"I know Baby Sab, this might be so shocking for you. But I'll explain the details later okay? After I introduce him to Saint." I nodded at Ate Mary's words.

Mary Magdalene Santillana and Saint Angelou's Santillana have their own lives. And I can't even believe it! Sean looks like a foreigner, I know that Ate Mary is like that.

Because when I was a teenager, almost all of her boyfriends had a race or a full breed from another country. So I won't be surprised now.

"Baby Sab, get dressed first. We're just in the dining hall." I nodded to him and immediately went up to my room.

I immediately took the letter from my bag and read it all over again. Little Sister...I have a sister. We were separated when we were babies. But why? Mommy or even Daddy didn't say anything about me having a brother.

I thought I was the only child. Who is he? Is it an older sister? or a brother? Since it says here little sister, does that mean there was someone before me? But...why didn't we grow up together? Why is that?

Ugh! There are so many questions that my mind wants to answer, but I know that my brother is the only one who can answer all of them. Tomorrow is Friday, I have a day to decide if I will go or not. But first I have to inform Saint.

I looked outside and saw Audrey waving at Saint. She even kissed his cheeks, Saint nodded at her and waved goodbye too. When Saint entered the house, I immediately got dressed and left the room.

I caught up with him going upstairs and it looked like he was going into his own room or his office.

"I have to talk to you about something." I immediately said. He looked at me and nodded.

"Let's talk about it, in my office." I nodded at what he said and followed him walking until we reached the door of his office.

The security password identified his fingerprint, one by one. All of his fingerprints were on his hands and even removed his eyepatch just to identify his red eye, just to make sure that Saint will enter here.

When we entered, he immediately sat on the couch and so did I. I handed him the letter in the envelope.

"Someone inserted that in my locker earlier. I don't know who, because I didn't catch whoever put that." I saw how both his eyes roamed around the letter.

"You have a sibling?" Saint asked me in disbelief.

"I just found out now, and I don't even know why Mommy was with him," I said. He walked to his drawer and took out his green light.

He placed the envelope in front of me and activated his green light and placed it on the envelope. I was amazed to see some fingerprints there.

He fabricated the fingerprint and let his gadget scan the fingerprint. My eyes widened when his profile appeared on the monitor. He scanned the other fingerprints and I saw my profile there too. That's right because I also touched the envelope earlier when I opened it.

I saw two profiles on Saint's monitor. The first one is named Joaquin De Liano, while the other is Erick Chavez. Why two? And I'm not convinced that one of them is my brother because none of them even got Mommy's or Daddy's genes.

"That's not my brother." I immediately said.

"Of course, it's not." I frowned at Saint's words.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"I'm sure this sibling of yours didn't write the letter. I'm sure he was ordered to write what he was going to say because he knew we could find out his character by doing this." He explained.

"But why two? Maybe it wasn't two who put the letter inside, right? What was that? Group activity?" I joked. Saint just shrugged because of what I said.

"Be smart, Klea. One of them is a student at Akademi High, the man just handed the contents of the envelope to one of the students because they are not allowed to enter without an ID, remember?" I nodded. Saint is a freaking genius. Is it human?

"And listen, it says here he will text the location. If you receive a text, give me your phone I'll track the texter's location. And so we can find out if he is in Luzon or not." I nodded.

"Don't come to school tomorrow. I will trespass there tonight to hack the CCTV in your locker area. I will connect it to the monitor, you'll watch it." I nodded again.

"After receiving the text, and after tracking the texter's location. Throw your phone and buy a new one, they might track our location too and attack our place." I couldn't do anything but nod.

I can't help but be nervous because of what will happen. But I can't help but feel reassured too.

The highest mafia boss is here by my side protecting me, why should I be afraid?

The next day I did not go in, I followed what Saint said. He already hacked the locker room's CCTV. He didn't come in either and stayed beside me, all afternoon staring at the monitor. I even saw Allison vandalizing my locker. But I didn't pay attention to that.

Saint got a CCTV copy yesterday. A whole day copy of CCTV yesterday, but we didn't see any student pass by our locker area and drop a letter. Saint repeated the CCTV copy several times yesterday but still nothing.

He even called Pierce and I knew he would come any minute. Saint said Pierce is an expert when it comes to analyzing CCTV clips or any recorded items.

"Damn this! This is making my headache." Saint said annoyed and slammed his hand down on his table.

"I don't see anything wrong with that footage." He said irritated.

After a while, we heard a knock on the door. He immediately stood up and walked towards the door. He pressed a button and Pierce's body appeared on the small screen. He's still in uniform, so you mean he took cutting classes just for this?

Saint let Pierce enter the room. Pierce looked at me for a moment and immediately looked back at Saint. He is not wearing his eyepatch, and I can't help but keep staring at his beautiful eyes. Red and brown. They're so pretty.

Pierce sat down in front of me. Saint forwarded the footage to Pierce's laptop. And just as Saint was sitting next to me, my cell phone that had been connected to Saint's laptop rang.

I looked at my cellphone while Saint was focused on his laptop. I just received a message and I know Saint already knows that.

From: Unknown

Serenitea near Mega Mall. 1 PM sharp. If you don't have one then don't expect any answers.

I was surprised when my cell phone suddenly shut down. I looked at Saint and I could see that he was serious about what he was doing.

He took my cellphone from my hand and broke it. Did he just break my phone with his bare hands? He removed some parts of it and drowned it in a glass of water on the table.

"I tracked the location. And this is making me crazy." Saint gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.

"Why, what's happening?" I nervously asked, is my brother so smart that he can anger Saint?

"Your sibling is hella genius, Klea. The number he used to text is fabricated, he or she fabricated your number. That's why when I tracked the location of the texter, our location came up." what the hell? how? is he or she smarter than a saint?

"Saint, I have it." We both looked at Pierce, it looks like the CCTV footage is our last hope.

We immediately stood up and approached Pierce.

"As you can see, around 2:30 PM, GYM time. No student passed by Sabrina's locker. Because all the students were in the gym..."

"But when 2:35 PM clicks, you can see a janitor who will walk in locker areas. I watched it over and over again and I saw something." He said and paused the footage, where a janitor was sweeping in front of my locker.

He zoomed in and enhanced the quality and my eyes widen. "There's a thread..." I whispered softly.

"Yeah, there is. It looks like the person who put the letter in your locker passed the letter above. You know there are big pipes above the locker area. And the person who put the letter in your locker went in there, he taped the letter at the bottom of the thread. And gently, he inserted the letter while the janitor was cleaning right in front of your locker."

"And he immediately pulled the thread with the tape to reveal that the village letter was hidden by going through your locker." I was stunned by what Pierce said.

"It looks like you are having big trouble protecting this lady, Saint. Why won't you just hand her to the organization? I saw how strong she feels around that can be her asset." Pierce said.

"No. I promised Dad, Dad promised Tito Kristopher that we will protect his daughter no matter what happens." Saint said sternly as he walked back to the front couch.

I sat on a solo couch at the end of the table.

"Yeah, but this one. This one is effin' smart Saint. Can you beat this?" Pierce's challenge.

"No one has ever escaped from my hands, Ignatius," Saint said while calming himself.

"So, are we going with Sabrina tomorrow?" Pierce asked.

"Of course. It's in Serenitea, I'll wear a bear mascot so it's not obvious." I couldn't help but laugh softly.

saint? wearing a bear mascot? Isn't that cute?

"And since I'm just a Mafia Prime, maybe I'm not well known. I'll pretend as a customer, I'll arrive there three hours earlier than the meeting time. I'll bring the others so it won't be obvious." Saint nodded at what Pierce said.

"So, The Saint is out and Hellion is in?" I was suddenly horrified by Pierce's grin while looking directly at Saint.

"Hellion is always in here, Midnight," Saint said with a darker aura.

Damn this, this is making me super nervous.

Saint said nothing as he drove to Serenitea. He just looked straight at the road, I looked at the backseat of his SUV and there was a big teddy bear costume that I knew he would wear later.

He said he parked the car at the Mall so my brother and I couldn't see us. I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I looked at Saint and he looked at me the same.

We stared at each other for how many seconds but then he immediately looked away. He turned his back on me and was about to step forward when I immediately called him.

"Saint!"

He stopped. "What?"

"Please, be safe," I said softly but it was enough for him to hear.

"What would you do if something bad happened to me?" He asked me but he still turned his back.

"I might have gone crazy, I've known you for a decade and more, and I can't forgive myself if something bad happens to you when you protect me," I said.

"Same. Be safe too." He said and we parted ways. I walked up to Serenitea as she headed to a comfort room.

When I entered, I noticed that Pierce was already there, they were sitting at a table that was also near a table in the window with a woman sitting alone.

That girl turned her back to me but just seeing her back I can already feel my body tensing up. No! Don't show you're nervous, she is smart Sat. I know, she knows how to read people.

I looked at Pierce and saw his eyes pointed at the girl. I mustered up my courage and walked closer to the table, I sat down in front of the woman and it was as if I was stiffened by the person I saw in front of me.

"Hi, Sabrina. My little sister, my twin." I have a twin! I expected a sibling but not a twin!

"Maybe us having the same face and genes is enough proof that I am your sibling?" He said with a grin. I looked outside and saw a big bear handing out free balloons to children. St.

"Who are you?" Unbelievable question from him.

"Oh, I am Savienna Kristen Lacsamana." Savienna? Sabrina? Are we really twins?

"So, Sabrina. How is life without problems?" He asked me with a smile.

"My life isn't as comfortable as you think, Savienna." she smirked. He took a cell phone from his bag. She scanned something and showed it off to me.

It's me laughing with the Journalism Club. "Having friends? That's nice."

She showed another image. "Having an admirer, who is already courting you? Nice."

And another. "Oh, this...when you were kidnapped. It's still nice because Hellion came and saved you like he always does."

I couldn't wait for him to show me another photo of my face.

"What do you need?" I said firmly, she laughed at what I just said.

"You're easy to talk to...I need the life you have now. Will you give it to me?" There was a challenge in his voice when he asked me that. Does she want the life that I have? What does he mean?

"I see you're confused. Because little Sabrina, you won't want the life I grew up with." He said with a grin. He said in the letter that he was with Mommy.

"Where is Mommy? Where are you hiding?" I asked him angrily.

"Oh, Mommy is right you really are the dumb one between us two. You really are clueless aren't you?" He has a smile that I can never put on my face because you look scary.

"Do you want to know what happened to me?" She said again.

I sighed. "Tell me what happened to you, and I'll give you the life that you just wanted."

"Great! But first, can you let Midnight and his friends leave us alone?" My eyes rounded up because of what he said, Midnight she meant Pierce right?

I looked at Pierce's table and saw his disbelieving expression with his friends. I signaled them to go out and Pierce's only response was a nod.

"As you can see, Sabrina. I am smarter than you, and plus I know all the mafias in the underworld. You can't trick me with that basic trick." Only Saint is invisible. And I knew he was hearing our conversation because there was a mic on the collar of my dress, connected to Saint's earpiece.

"I know Hellion is just here somewhere, but he is the top mafia boss. I don't expect him to get caught like Pierce," he said simply.

"Just tell me what happened to you," I said irritated.

"Short tempered, I see." She said, I glared at her and she just laughed. I still can't believe that she is really the exact copy of my face, but her hair is a little different because it is wavy and brown in color. While mine is straight-black.

"Let's start from the very beginning..."

"As I told you, you didn't kill Daddy. And who? I know that's your first question, it's me who did it, Sabrina. As you can see, I really envy you because you are the one in their powder Daddy. But I still thanked Mommy for turning me into a better version of you."

"How can you do that? We are still three at that time!" I couldn't stop raising my voice at her, she laughed again.

"Yes we are three, but our thoughts are different. When you were three years old we only played with dolls, while when I am three I already did my first kill which is Dad. That's how it is Sabrina...your Ate Mary maybe didn't explain this to you but..."

"Once a mafia boss has twins, it's not possible for two to take his position, right? So that mafia boss needs to decide which one will have a normal life and which one will suffer and it looks like you got lucky Sabrina." He promised with a smile.

"No kid wants to train and do things that only adults do" What? I don't understand him anymore.

"I am trained the moment that I am already capable to talk and walk, they already trained me to be a mafia. And I really hate that, I loathed our father for not picking me. So with a mature mind at a young age. I killed him. How?" He said with a smile.

" I used sniper gun and that time? Mom is also pointing a gun at Dad because they had a fight, our dumb mommy thinks that she shot him. But nope, I am the one who did that. And she grabbed you and said something to you, it was released that you were the shooter right?" He said with a smile and I nodded.

"He did that because a wife can't kill a mafia husband, Mom is already devoted to him once they are married. They get married in the organization and in the church. Can Dad die? Mom has to die too."

"And Mom can't let that happen, so she told you that. But it seems like I can't really escape what I did..." he said laughing.

"Why?" I asked.

"She came to me, she made me believe that she would give me a normal life. But no, all she did was make me suffer! She found out that I killed Daddy and she was very angry because you might not follow what she said and you tell that to the organization. So, she locked me up in the basement. She only feeds me when she wants, most of the time she beats me and she is always saying that I need to be stronger than you so that I can get what I deserve is mine that should not be yours."

"At the age of seventeen I graduated from the organization with the evaluation of 98.1" Saint is still higher.

"They want me to be a Mafia Boss, the third highest Mafia Boss. But I can't accept being third. I want your position, but the organization won't give it to me because they know you're alive and you're the one who killed Daddy." He said laughing.

"All I want you to do is tell the organization that you are not the killer but me. Can you do that?"
