I gently stroked her hair as she tilted her head just to see me clearly. "How are you? Are you hurt?" I asked her.

Her pretty lips pouted and she had teary eyes. "T-They tied po my wrist. Yayay po…"

Kinuha ko ang dalawa niyang kamay na nakayakap sa aking hita. Maingat kong hinaplos ang namumula niyang pulso.

They indeed tied her tightly. I greeted my teeth. I should have silenced their organization a long time ago. Baka marami pang bata ngayon ang hindi nawala at nasawi dahil sa kanilang negosyo. They just didn't kidnap children, they tortured them before killing them.

They are the kid's nightmare.

If I have realized sooner the importance of children's lives, baka 'yung mga napatay nilang mga bata ay narito pa ngayon sa mundo at nagsasaya kasama ang kanilang mga kalaro.

I concede, it was my fault for not meddling in their dirty business. Back then, I just didn't have the habit of getting involved with other organizations unless they messed with me first. A lot of kids died, were tortured, and were traumatized because I didn't give any attention to this trash organization.

In my case, I am a mother. My love for my son is endless. At kung nagkataon na isa siya sa mga nakidnap at pinatay, I don't know what do to anymore. Baka iyon pa ang ikabaliw ko. Siguro kung hindi ako nagkaroon ng anak ngayon at pamangkin, hindi ko bibigyang halaga ang mga bata ngayon. And that was the biggest mistake I didn't notice.

Those children who got killed must have a better future that awaits them, pero dahil sa pesteng Hua Organization na siyang namumuno sa buong sulok ng bansa sa pagkidnap ng mga bata, isang pitik lang at lahat ng pangarap na iyun ay naglaho.

I will make sure to let that annoying old hag taste his own medicine.

"WHAT is this thing?" he asked as soon as we entered my sports car.

"This is our transportation in this world," I answered briefly. Pinagmasdan niya ng maigi kung paano ko galawin ang mga parts at functions ng sasakyan. I can see amusement and interest in his orbs.

"Do you wanna learn how to drive?" I asked him.

"May I?" he immediately responded.

I smirked. "Of course. I will teach you some other time."

It was already 2 a.m. when we arrived at the headquarters. Kaagad na bumukas ang napakalaking gate at bumungan sa amin ang matayog na building ng aming headquarters.

Pagkatapos naming lumabas sa sasakyan ay agad niyang ipinulupot ang braso sa aking bewang. He stared at me intently before his eyes went to the tall and massive building.

"Zarcaen, welcome to my kingdom."

He gazed at the building, which towered in front of him, completely captivated by its elegant appearance. That building was a combination of immense wealth and great danger, highlighting the close connection between power and secrets.

"I must say that your kingdom is cooler than mine," he commented.

Wow, I just got praised by a king himself.

Napangisi ako bago kami naglakad patungo sa entrance ng building. We were welcomed by two mafia security. Sila ang mga security na nagche-check ng mga tauhan bago ang mga ito papasukin sa loob ng building. These mafia security definitely give off a goon-like vibe. It's necessary for them to examine everyone entering, even if they are colleagues or members of the organization, in order to prevent any potential spies. I always make sure to have a high level of security at my headquarters. Kahit ang tatlong vice queens ay chine-check rin ng mga ito, nagrereklamo nga sa kanila palagi si Polain.

Yumuko ang mga ito bago binuksan ang entrance. Pagkapasok sa loob ay bumungad naman sa amin ang mga nakahanay sa corridor na mafia assassins. They looked like a high-ranked army standing strictly wearing with their cold face.

I saw how Zarcaen roamed his eyes around the surroundings. Tila'y pinag-aaralan ang bawat parte ng lobby. I noticed his brows knitted when his eyes landed on my mafia assassins, ang talim ng kaniyang tingin sa mga tauhan ko na walang ibang ginawa kung 'di tumayo at yukuan kami.

Kaagad na kaming pumasok sa loob ng elevator. Unlike sa elevator ng Taylorynth, dalawang button lang ang mayroon sa kanila, up and down. Kapag ang ruta mo ay nasa pangatlong floor, you just have to press the up button two times. Habang dito, may mga numerong pipindutin kung pang-ilang floor ang nais mo.

Napabalik ako sa reyalidad nang maramdaman ang kaniyang labi sa aking batok. Napasinghap ako at tumingin sa kaniya. Bumungad sa akin ang namumungay niyang mata. He couldn't stop biting his lips with desire while looking at me. My heart throbbed.

"Baby?" he asked in a whispered voice.

"Yes?" I responded by mimicking his low tone. I suddenly gulp because of how intense his stares were at me.

"Something misses you too."

My forehead creased. "Who?"

"Him," he said as he held my hand and brought it to his bulging monster.

My eyes widened.

What the fuck?!
