Hide and Seek (A Dark Mafia Needs A Wife) - Completed

Chapter 25 - Briggs Revamonte POV

Chapter 25

Malia Fey Acosta.

Siya iyong mapapangasawa ni Nikolaus na nag-apply sa bar niya kanina lang. Biglang nagback out iyong isa at buti nalang ay may nahanap agad na kapalit si Manager dahil kung hindi, uusok na naman ang tainga niya sa galit.

He's looking for a wife to secure his inheritance for his non-biological parents. Hindi naman pwedeng wala s'yang makuhang mana dahil ang laki rin ng naging ambag niya bilang isang Cassano. Yes, nalaman namin na hindi siya tunay na Cassano.

Malia is kind, and she was genuinely surprised when she entered Nikolaus' mansion for the first time. Kita ang sobrang pagkamangha sa mga mata niya at sa kilos niya. Hinahayaan naman siya ni Nikolaus.

As days went by, Malia found out that we're mafias. Despite that, she learned to accept us, and a friendship formed between her and our group. Maliban kay Theron na halata mong ayaw sa kanya. Sadyang ganoon lang ang ugali no'n. Sobrang ingat sa mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan lalo na sa mga pinapapasok dito sa loob ng mansyon.

Pero nakapasok ako...

Ni hindi nila alam ang tunay na intensyon ko.

Malia learned to use a gun from Nikolaus, showcasing her determination and eagerness to learn. She also gained skills in the company and driving, all under Nikolaus's guidance. Pero halos naubos ang pasensya ni Nikolaus nang turuan niya ito sa pagdadrive. At least sa huli, natuto si Malia.

Malia and I also built a close bond, along with others. She's friendly and thoughtful. I also see her concern to Nikolaus and Nikolaus to her even if he doesn't admit it. Minsan lang talaga ay masungit itong si Nikolaus pero hindi rin naman natitiis si Malia.

They'd be a great couple if their feelings are real.

Baka naman may pag-asa at totohanin nalang?

"Beatrice was Theron's mistress?" Inulit ko ang sinabi ni Wynnona Snow pero naging patanong nga lang ang akin. "Did you confirm it?" She just nodded.

Yes, Snow and Theron were married before.

I was aware that Theron was cheating on Snow both before and after their marriage, but I never expected it to be with Beatrice, Nikolaus' company secretary. Snow is also aware, but she doesn't care since their marriage is just an arranged by their parents.

"Did you confront him?" I asked again.

"Why would I? We don't meddle in each other's lives, and we just simply used each other. Besides, we're already divorced." She whispered.

"Na-hurt ka ba?" Maingat kong tanong. Kita ko ang pagtaas ng kilay niya habang may pinipirmahan. Napahinto pa siya at diretsong tumingin sa akin.

"Even though I had feelings for him before, it doesn't mean that those feelings is still here until now. I'm not stupid enough to stay with someone who doesn't reciprocate my feelings. And I've already done using him." She replied, and I don't sense any pain in her.

Siguro may bago ng nagpapatibok ng puso niya.

"By the way, call my nail technician. I deserve a manicure and pedicure today." Tuluyan na s'yang napasandal sa swivel chair niya, pagod.

"Got it. I'll also ask Boris to bring your dinner now."

"No chocolates for dessert, Briggs." Natawa ako. Kailan ko ba nakalimutan na allergic siya sa tsokolate?

Upon discovering that Christiano and Maxima Cassano are not Nikolaus' biological parents, and he also seeks revenge for the death of his real parents, Snow saw an opportunity to use it as advantage. She told me to keep working with Nikolaus and use him during his revenge era, as both Snow and he share the same goal. She's determined to do whatever it takes to seek revenge and kill the person responsible for her mother's death, which happens to be Nikolaus' non-biological parents.
