Diego’s POV
.What a beautiful day, baby, and bingo! My mind speaks.
My mouth never stops chewing. It tastes minty and sweet. And yes, it feels like I'm floating on cloud nine while looking at my target. Using my Barret M82, sure dead my target will no longer have a heartbeat.
"Huh, let's bring home the bacon, baby," I said silently and counted the numbers in the back of my mind.
Fucking damn it! Malutong na mura ko.
Uno, dos, tre. . .
Fuck!
What the hell!? Bloody lucifer!
Nagkagulo agad ang lahat sa yate. The party was over, the target was lying and everyone was screaming.
Then all the heavy security came, and the place was in chaos.
Fucking dimwit! I swore in silence while dismantling my equipment.
Mabilis ang kilos ko at sinigurado na walang matitira ibidensya rito. I hurriedly covered my face with black covering with my full black combat.
Damn it! This is my mission. Twenty million effing dollars, and someone blew it up!
Who the hell? That congested ugly face!
I will swear in front of the devil that I will make her pay for this. Magbabayad siya sa kaguluhan na ginawa niya!
Mabilis ang ikot ko at tiningnan ang buong paligid. Nagkakagulo pa rin sila sa baba, at lahat naka high alert na. Nagbihis ako nang mabilis at casual na damit. Pasimpli kong binitbit ang maitim na bag kung saan naglalaman ang mga gamit ko.
Judging by the distance, the snipper was only fifty meters away from me.
Huh, I need to catch whoever it was. And I know who she was.
Okay she's a she and the hell, babae! Ang malas ko talaga sa babaeng ito dahil madungis na ang reputasyon ko.
No one ever beat me, and all the mafia's leagues knows that. I am a master of my own with the Del Fiore and the De Luna's Clan. Isang grupo na kami, at kami ang pinakatatakutan ng lahat. No one can defeat the Del Fiore and De Luna, not even that ugly Cariena Siobeh Costello!
Bloody hell!
Mabilis ang lakad ko habang nagkakagulo ang lahat sa malaking cruise na ito. I looked up above and strode faster along the side. The guards and securities are scattered everywhere like black ants. Pilit na hinahanap nila ang kalaban nila, ang pumatay sa boss nila.
Dimwit! I spat out the bubble gum along the side. I looked on the top vent, where my private helicopter was located. I need to get out of here quick.
Pinaandar at pinindot ko na ang maliit na gadget na nasa gilid ng tainga ko. Ito ang nagsisilbing satellite ko at si Morris ang nasa kabilang linya nito.
"Fucking idiot, Deigo, run!" tigas na boses niya at napaigting ang panga ko.
Mabilis pa yata sa kidlat ang bawat kilos ko ngayon dahil alam kung namataan na nila ko.
"Bloody hell! Someone shot the psycho, and it wasn't me, bro!"
I swore in silence and ran fast while keeping an eye on everything.
"I know you, idiot! Why the hell did you even turn off your radar? You dickhead! Nasaan ba ang utak mo? Nasa itlog mo ba!?"
"What the fuck! Damn it!" Malutong na mura at mabilis ang pagtago na ginawa ko.
I slowly grabbed the silencer that I had with me.
"Can you start the helicopter for me? I will be in. Give me five minutes," I said in a hurry.
"Okay. But five minutes is too long, Diego. Make it two."
Damn it! I swore again and shot one of the men in the head. Hindi maingay ito at tahimik siyang nakahandusay.
"Clear on your left part, and twenty meters from your left have your exit. May hagdanan patungo sa rooftop," tugon ni Morris sa kabilang linya.
"Okay, copy," I said and strode faster away from the place.
The fire siren was so loud on board and everyone panics. Lahat naman ng mga pasahero sa cruise ship na ito ay mga negosyante at mga malalaking tao.
This mission was supposed for Drake, but as per my sister's request, Betty De Luna Del Fiore, I have to take it.
The Little Prince doesn't want his dad to go on a mission because Betty is pregnant for the third time.
Nag-aalala siya, kaya ako na ang boluntaryo na humawak sa misyon na ito.
.
"Aren't you going to take me with you, Tito?" ang maliit na boses ni Prince.
"No, not this mission, Prince. Not today, buddy."
"Why not?" he pouted.
"I heard from dad that Miss Cariena Siobeh is in the line too. I want to go with you, Tito. I want to see her. Can I?" inosenting titig niya.
Umigting ang panga ko at ginulo ko na ang buhok ni Prince.
This youngster is only ten-years-old and he knows everything. Walang tinago sina Drake at Betty sa bata, at alam ng batang ito ang totoong kalakaran namin.
He's innocent but not so innocent. Kung ang mga bata sa ganitong edad ay nakikipaglaro ng dinosaurs, ibang dinosaurs ang nilalaro ni Prince. . . ang alagang tigre niya ang nilalaro niya, si Kimmy.
"Maglaro ka na lang kay Kimmy. Gutom na yata iyon, at gusto ng gatas."
"Oh, I see. . . but, Tito. Can you bring some souvenirs for me?" he thoughtfully stared.
"Okay. I will. I promise," I smiled and fixed his hair.
.
Makailang mura ulit ang ginawa ko at palambitin akong humawak sa hawakan ng hagdanan. Para ang akong bata na naglalaro ng slide, pero iyan nga lang pataas ito. Uminit lang din ang pwet ko.
"There he is!" boses nila. At mas binilisan ko pa ang takbo.
I hide in between walls, and they never shot me. Alam ko ito at ngumisi ako. Somehow they will never catch me.
I ran like a phantom with no footprints and jumped into thin air. Malapit na ako, malapit na ako sa roof top.
I could hear their footstep upright and hard towards me. My smile widened when I finally held the door knob. I opened it, and the light came bright into my face. I shut it back and locked it from here.
"Thanks, Morris. I will be there," I said in the line and turn off my signal. Hindi ko na pinakingan ang boses niya. Alam ko na sermon na naman ang aabutin ko sa kanya.
I took a deep breath and saw my black Tutubi.
Damn it! Let's go, baby!
I walked smoothly, like I take my time with me. Wala na silang pag-asa, dahil hindi na nila ako mahuhuli ngayon.
Well, I know someone messed up my mission, and whoever it was, I will make sure they will pay for it.
Fucking, damn it!
Nahinto ako nang hakbang nang makita ang kabuuang anyo niya sa gilid, sa likurang bahagi.
What the hell! My mind speaks in silent. . . the bloody Cariena!
"Oh hi! Miss me?" lawak na ngiti niya.
Umigting ang panga ko at nagdilim na ang paningin ko. I want to take a step to catch her and choke her to death, pero hindi ko maigalaw ang mga paa ko.
Fuck! Malutong na mura ko. Naisahan na naman niya ako.
"Oops!" She pouted and sent a flying kiss at me.
"I'm sorry, baby. If you take your step towards me you will become a barbeque!" sabay turo ng bibig niya sa paa ko.
Lumakas ang tawa niya at nakakabingi ito sa tainga ko. Nagmura ulit ako at hindi ko ginalaw ang paa ko.
Ba't nga ba hindi ko naisip ito? Ang bobo ko nga naman ano? Ba't ba pagdating sa babaeng ito ay nagiging bobo ang mundo ko?
What the - damn it! Morris! Sigaw ng isip ko.
Mabilis niyang hinubad ang combat niya at litaw ang kabuuang ganda ng katawan niya.
That damn body! I swear I will make life living more in hell!
"Cariena!!!" I shouted but didn't move.
She then looked at me and smiled wickedly. She pouted and grabbed her black bag.
"Good luck, Diego! Grazie!" Sabay flying kiss niya. At mabilis siyang pumasok sa helicopter. Pinaandar ito at pesti siyang nakangiti sa akin.
"Damn it! Bastard!" walang katapusang mura ko at mabilis kong pinindot ang signal pabalik.
"You idiot! You turn off your signal again!" agad na mura ni Morris.
"Fucking I can't move, bro! I stepped into something and the hell - "
I couldn't say a word and the noise of the helicopter was so loud in place. Mabilis ang pag-angat nito sa ere at umuusok ang galit ko habang nakatitig sa babaeng kinamumuhian ko.
"I will dis-alarm the bomb, idiot! Don't you ever move!" Pasigaw ni Morris at rinig ko agad ang pagwasak na ginawa ng mga tauhan sa pinto.
I looked at the door, and my heart pounded.
Bloody ridiculous! Dimwit! Damn it! Malutong na mura ko.

Cariena’s POV.I walked like I'd won the Miss Universe title. I smiled wickedly and dropped the lavish black port bag I had taken with me.Nawala rin agad ang ngiti sa labi ko, at tumaas ang kilay ko nang makita ang mga tauhan ni Papa. Nakalinya silang lahat at nakayuko.They're in line like idiots in my way. Huh, mga walang silbi! "Good afternoon, Miss Cariena," bigay galang ni Edu, ang kanang kamay ni Papa. Agad niyang kinuha ang maitim na bagahe ko at napatingin siya sa helicopter na gamit ko.I lifted my brows and rolled my eyes while giving him a smirk. "T-that's not ours - " Awang ng labi niya at pilya akong ngumiti "Yes, it's not one of ours, Edu. Sa bobong mukhang aso ang helicopter na iyan!" Taas kilay ko, at nagpatuloy na ako nang hakbang. Pero nahinto lang din ako sa sarili at hinarap siyang muli.Lumawak ang ngiti sa labi niya at kinindatan pa ako.Oh heck! Ang pangit ah! Hindi ko type ang mga mukhang zombie sa harap ko! Ugh! "Drive that helicopter, Edu, and crush it,
Diego's POV . "That fucking lunatic! The bloody insane witch from hell! I swear, I will choke her to death and sell her body to the devil!" I repeatedly swore in the back of my mind while taking my gear out of my body. "The hell, Diego! That brain of yours is not working, man! What do you think you're doing? Why the hell you turn off that effing signal? Alam mo na iyon ang konesyon mo sa akin, at nagmamagaling ka? Huh, ang talino, pre!" kantyaw ni Morris. Umikot na siya at kinuha ang barret m82 na gamit ko kanina. He checked everything, and it was all intact. This means I did not fire a single bullet at my target. And that's a significant damn offense. Damn it! "Mainit ka kay Cariena at matunog ang pangalan mo sa lahat." My jaw tightened and I move my head in both sides. Uminit ang ulo ko at ang sarap magwala sa mga sandaling ito. That was my pure mission with a million dollars in the line. And just like that, that damn witch screwed it up! No one dared and messed up my mis
Cariena’s POV . I can feel the warm water around my skin, which feels refreshing. It feels like I'm floating out of space. Walang iniisip, blanko ang utak. I had a few bruises that I got from the escape. I could still hear the people's screams when I fired the shotgun at my target. Huh, that was not even half of the money that Diego would get, but I stole that from him. I don't care if it's going to cost less. I want him dead. Naimulat ko ang mga mata at sa malinaw na tubig ng bathtub na ito nakasubsob ang buong katawan ko. Hubad, walang saplot at walang pakialam sa mundo. Tahimik ang buong paligid, hanggang sa marinig ko ang mahihinang hakbang na papasok dito sa banyo ko. I cursed in the back of my mind and slowly held my gun with me. It's behind me, in this bathtub, just behind my naked body. Dahan-dahan ang paghawak ko nito at mariing nakabukas ang mga mata ko. Hanggang sa naaninag ko na ang anino niya sa harapan ko. I'm like a sleeping beauty to him, but it's just that I'm
Diego's POV . "How much did you lose?" si Ranger sa akin. "Half a mil." I jerk up and then face down. I covered my face using my hand. "Half a mil my ass," sagot ni Morris sa gilid. "You effing lost ten million? Idiot!" ngisi niya at napailing pa. "Woah, beauty!" kantyaw ni Ranger. Bahagya na siyang natawa. "May magsasayaw mamaya sa stage, bro! A freaking dimwit hot mafia!" kantyaw ni Diezel. Nag-apir pa ang tatlo. Mga walanghiya talaga ang mga baboy na ito. "Cha, cha, cha, yo!" si Morris. I looked at the three of them, and they were dancing like crazy pigs. I almost chuckled when Ranger shook his booty. Tama nga siguro na binansagan sila noon ni Saraid na tatlong baboy na nanirahan sa kabilang tuktok ng mundo. Una, si Ranger, ang happy go lucky na walang pakialam sa buhay. Pangalawa si Diezel, ang matigas at astig na walang kinatatakutan, pero pagdating sa babae ay napaka-unggoy naman. Pangatlo si Morris, ang pinakamakapangyarihan at pinakamayan sa kanila, pero baliw at wa
Cariena's POV."Ano!? No way, Papa. Ayaw ko!"Nagtagpo ang kilay ni Papa at galit itong nakatitig sa akin. Habang si Mama? Heto, sa gilid, pilit na kinakalma ang sarili.They're getting worried after hearing from the De Lourdes Clan that the crazy El Cappuccino ordered his gangs and circle of friends to collaborate with them. . . And the mission? Is to extinguish me from this planet.Huh, ang galing nga naman ng pesting Diego De Luna de letsi ano? At talagang sagad na sa pagkadesperado sa buto, dahil pati ang kaalyado ni Papa ay ngayon ay kakampi na nila.That pest! Mura ng isip ko."This is for your safety, Siobeh. Just be away for two months while I will sort everything with the others. I will ensure to get them back at our side, which will be our payback.""Payback?" pamaywang ko, "why not do it now, Papa? Hindi ba pwede na ngayon na?"Tumalikod si Papa at napabuntonghininga. "Not now, my dear. . . El Cuppuccino put an end to my business down the north-side. That bloody idiot with
Cariena's POV . "Siobeh!!" Ang tili na sigaw ni Feleona ang umagaw sa lahat ng atensyon nang mga tao na naghihintay sa waiting area. Nahinto ako, at napangiwi sa sarili. She came running towards me like she saw a royal candy. "My cousin!" Higpit na yakap niya. Kinapa pa niya ang buong katawan ko at tinitigan ako mula ulo-hanggang paa. "My goodness me! Why the hell you're wearing like that?" titig niya sa suot ko. Napatingin na tuloy ako sa sarili. "And why? May mali ba sa suot ko?" "No, it's not your attire. Is it your shoes? Ha!" she laughs. Nakakatawa nga naman siguro ang suot ko na pumpkin flip-flop ano? Pinaikot ko na ang mga mata ko at humakbang nang nauna sa kanya. Sa inis ko kanina sa eroplano ay itinapon ko ang suot na boots sa isa sa mga walanghinyang bodyguards ni Vixtrous. I was going to the lavatory when I saw how he harassed one of the staff stewardess. Ang manyak ng eksena at hindi ko ito gusto. Dahil hindi gusto ng babae ito. Kaya sa sobrang inis ko ay ibinat
Diego's POV . "And so, you're going away again?" si Gabriel Montanari sa akin. I lean backwards, sitting on this old fashion rocking chair owned by Mamita, Gabriel's deceased mother. After giving Ace and the rest of the boys an order, I decided to visit Gabriel in his secret paradise. This is where he goes every docking from his work. Sa ganitong buwan at panahon din natatapos ang misyon siya, kaya alam ko agad na nandito siya. "Do you want to join me?" titig ko sa kulay asul na langit. I did not look at him, because I don't want to read the expression of his face. I admit it, I get jealous of the way Gabriel Montanari's life. I wish I have joined him before. But this is really my fate. . . Akala ko noon, noong si Papa pa ang namamalakad sa lahat ay hindi niya ibibigay ang obligasyon ng Del Luna sa akin, pero gaya ng sinabi ni Drake, wala akong kawala sa posisyon na ito. I may as well lead the boys and operate the business according to my own accord than pass it to El Cappuccino
Cariena's POV . "I feel the earth move under my feet. I feel the sky tumblin' down!" Yes, I feel the earth moving underneath me. Nabaliw na yata ako ngayon, I mean, kaming dalawa ni Feleona sa eksklusibong bar, sa eksklusibong room na ito. It's only the two of us. No bodyguards, no shitty paparazzi of Papa's people. "Yahoo! Yes! Tumblin' down!" sabay taas nang kamay niya sa ere at nag-twerk pa ang bruha. "Omg! I can do better than that, you know!" Inihagis ko ang microphone sa sofa at umakyat ako sa maliit na mesa. Mabuti na lang at matibay ito. I dance like a monkey who got a twerking tail. Nakakaloka! "Shit, cuz! Ang baliw mo!" sigaw niya. I never stop and still dancing. I don't care, and no one cares! I am here to have fun and forget the war halfway through the world. Bahala na muna sila Mama at Papa, tutal ito naman ang gusto nila 'di ba? E, 'di simulan ko na ang kasiyahan ko. Pasampak akong naupo at habol-hininga sa sarili. Natawa si Feleona at kinuha ang baso niya. Wa
