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

Chapter 36 - Briggs Revamonte

Before I leave the mansion, I asked her again about her decision to apply as Nikolaus' wife. I couldn't accompany her to the bar because Nikolaus would surely look for me since we were also heading there. Tsaka may mga pinapagawa rin sa akin si Nikolaus sa kumpanya na kailangan kong matapos kaagad.

"Are you sure you're going to do this? Like, you? You'll pretend? I doubt that, Snow. How can you support someone you hate?" I know her very well. Baka makita niya lang si Nikolaus, baka kung ano na ang gawin niya. "You and Nikolaus... you have the same attitude and temper. Baka hindi ka magtagal kasama siya."

"This will be fun, Briggs. This is just the beginning of the game: Hide and Seek." I sighed. Mukhang desidido na talaga siya kaya wala na akong magagawa pa para pigilan siya.

"Hindi basta-bastang tao si Nikolaus, Snow. Theron is also there. Sa tingin mo ba, hindi ka niya ilalaglag?"

"I know his loyalty is not to us. I can't trust him, but Theron knows me well. I hate those people na pakielamero." Pinagkrus niya ang mga braso niya. "His Dad doesn't know that we're divorced and annulled because he knows how his Dad will react once he finds out. So, I will use it against him. If it doesn't work, you know I take care of those people who get in my way." She looked at me, and even though she's Malia right now, I could see how her real eyes reacted.

"Goodluck. Boris will accompany you there. If anything happens, just call me. If you get accepted, remember what I've said about Nikolaus."

"Don't worry, Briggs. I can handle myself. If he easily finds out who I am, then I have no choice but to take him down."

"But as much as possible, be careful. He's a great advantage to your plan." Dagdag ko pa bago tuluyang umalis.

Snow, I mean Malia, got accepted after the other one backed out. I just found out later that Snow handled the first one who got accepted before her. Hindi ko alam kung binayaran niya ba ito o kung ano man.
Right now, she's currently inside the car with us, heading to Nikolaus' hideout mansion. It's not his real mansion, it's just where the new recruits are trained.

Nandito lang kami pansamantala dahil may mga mahahalaga kaming inaasikaso rito. And Malia was just new, it was expected that she would be brought here to know more about her. But it looks like Nikolaus doesn't care about her presence.

I saw how Theron reacted when he saw Snow here as Malia. Ibang iba man ang itsura ngayon ni Snow pero kilalang-kilala niya ang itsura ng taong ito lalo na't lumaki sila ng magkasama, naging magkaibigan, hanggang sa naging magkaaway, at kinasal pa pero ngayon ay magkahiwalay na. I waited for him to immediately tell Nikolaus who Malia is, but he didn't did. He waited for everyone else to leave before he talked to her about it.

"I know you're surprised that I'm here." Pinangunahan agad siya ni Snow na magsalita nang sila na lamang dalawa ang natira. Habang ako ay nakatago lang sa may gilid ng pader pero alam ni Snow na nakikinig ako. Hindi kasi alam ni Theron na isa ako sa tauhan ni Snow.

"What are you doing here?" Mariing sabi ni Theron at mahigpit pang hinawakan si Snow sa braso. Hindi man lang pumiglas si Snow at bagkus ay tiningnan lang ito ng matalim na may kasama pang ngisi.

"You don't need to know why I'm here. But I'm warning you, Theron, don't do anything that will make me mad, or else-"

"Or else, what?" Mas lalong lumawak ang ngisi sa labi ni Snow.

"Or else your Dad will find out about the divorce and annulment." Patuloy ni Snow, which made Theron chuckle.

"Go tell him. I don't care at all." Theron didn't even seem worried about his Dad finding out. What will Snow do? Mukhang may balak sabihin ni Theron kay Nikolaus ang totoo.
