Semua Bab THE MAFIA'S PRISONER: Bab 11 - Bab 20

"Do you guys have any idea how much I wanna punch you on the face?" Nanggigigil ko sabi, "like literally right now." "On a scale of 1 to 10, hmm," sabat ni Sato na may hawak-hawak pang coffee mug. "Maybe a hundred." "I'm glad you're aware." I faked smile, "so you fucking mean na pinagday-off niyo yung mga housekeeper dito para ipaglinis ako? Ganun ba?" "Kala ko ba bored ka." Sagot naman ni Ren na nilampasan ako. "I'll be at my room. Pahinga lang ako." Napanganga ako habang nakatingin kay Ren na parang walang kasalanan. "Tangina, hindi ito yung tipo ng boredom na sinasabi ko!" Tumawa lang si Sato at uminom ng kape niya. "Look at the bright side, at least hindi ka nakakulong ngayon." "Oo nga," dagdag ni Tetsu na kararating lang, may dala pang ilang papel. "And besides, mas okay na 'to kesa sa wala kang ginagawa buong araw." Napatingin ako sa paligid. Ang laki ng mansion, kakayanin mo bang linisin ang mga kalat nila? Putangina naman oh. Pinisil ko ang sintido ko. "Gusto ko lan

A dull pounding echoed inside my skull as I slowly opened my eyes. The sunlight filtering through my curtains made me wince.I groaned, burying my face into the pillows. My whole body felt heavy—like I'd been dragged through the night and tossed into bed.Wait.How the fuck did I get here?The last thing I remembered...The pool. Conversation with Seiji. Then—fuck, I don't care. Ang importante buo pa ako. I glanced down. I was still wearing my dress from last night, but my heels were gone. Someone must have taken them off.I dragged myself out of bed and changed into something more comfortable. I stepped out of my room as I made my way downstairs. My bare feet felt cold against the hardwood floor as I moved through the quiet halls.Pagdating ko sa dining area, I stopped in my tracks.What the hell?The usual filthy, noisy atmosphere of the mansion was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the boys were—Cooking? Joke ba 'to? And what's more surprising is wala akong nakikitang kalat from las

Yuta was deep asleep. Nagpaalam muna kami sa mga nurses at nakiusap na bantayan nang mabuti si Yuta dahil aalis muna kami. Ren's got business to do and I want go home to change clothes. Ang lagkit lagkit ko na sa dugo ni Yuta. Pagdating namin sa mansyon, Ren barely put the car in full stop nang bumukas agad ang pinto at bumaba ako. I was exhausted, but my mind was wide awake. Ang dami ko pa ring iniisip, lalo na 'yung tungkol kay Ranma at kay Miori."Go take some rest. I'll try my best to be at home tonight," sabi ni Ren habang bumababa rin ng sasakyan.I smiled. "Do what you gotta do, Ren." Tumalikod na ako at pumasok sa loob.Pagkapasok ko sa mansyon, ramdam ko agad ang bigat ng katawan ko. Para akong lalagpak sa sahig sa pagod, pero mas nangibabaw ang lagkit na nararamdaman ko. The dried blood on my skin felt disgusting.I headed straight to my room, locking the door behind me. Hindi ko na inabala pang tingnan ang paligid. I just peeled off my stained clothes and rushed to the bat

author: fnally! we get to see Ryu's point of view! Ryu's point of view: I sat at the head of the conference table, listening as the discussion unfolded around me. My fingers tapped lightly against the surface, the rhythmic sound the only indication of my growing impatience. The dim lighting cast sharp shadows along the walls, adding to the tension in the air. Tetsu and Seiji sat on my right, while Ren leaned against the far end of the table, arms crossed. "Ranma's been lying low since his last move," Seiji spoke first, his tone calm but firm. "What he did was unpredictable and too reckless." Tetsu rolled his shoulders, exhaling sharply. "We should strike before he does again." Ren, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. "And where exactly do we hit him? We don't even know where he's hiding since what happened." My fingers stilled. Ranma wasn't reckless. Every move he made was calculated. If we rushed in blind, we'd be playing straight into his hands. "Let's still

Maddy's point of view:Ang bigat ng talukap ng mga mata ko. Para bang ilang oras akong walang malay, at ngayon lang bumabalik ang diwa ko. Hindi pa man lubusang nagigising ang ulirat ko, ramdam ko na agad ang bugbog na katawan ko—parang may tumama sa batok ko bago ako tuluyang nawalan ng malay.Hindi ko agad maigalaw ang mga kamay ko.What the fuck—?!Napadilat ako nang tuluyan, at doon ko lang napagtanto kung nasaan ako. Nakaupo ako sa isang upuan, magaspang ang pakiramdam ng tali sa mga pulso ko, at kita kong may tape pang nakadikit sa mga paa ko. Nanginginig pa ang paningin ko, pero mula sa bintana ng kwarto kung saan man ako naroon, kitang-kita ang makakapal na ulap sa labas.We were up in the fucking air.Nasa eroplano ako.I glared at him. "I already know where I am. And what you want." Umangat ang sulok ng labi niya. "Smart girl."Sinubukan kong pigilan ang panginginig ng kamay ko. I can't show weakness. Hindi ako pwedeng magpakita ng takot sa harap niya. I needed to think. I
