Triad Princess and the Mafia King (PREVIEW ONLY)

CHAPTER 1 - UNWIND

NAPLES, ITALY

TAAS-NOONG pumasok si Alessia sa loob ng pinakasikat na luxury bar sa siyudad—ang Belladona. It was almost midnight. She wore an impeccable disguise to be sure she would be unrecognizable. Nakasuot siya ng kulay pulang miniskirt at itim na croptop na wari ay ipinangangalandakan ang kanyang piercing sa pusod. Her navel accessory was a rare black diamond that cost a fortune. Makapal din ang kanyang make-up habang itim ang kanyang lipstick.

Alessia surveyed her eyes around. The place was perfect for clearing her mind. Magulo ang isip niya ngayon at pilit na kinakalma ang sarili dahil sa nangyari kaninang umaga. She let her hands be stained with blood against her will. She was not supposed to kill a woman, but she still pulled the trigger out of her sniper rifle.

Damn. Her jaw clenched.

Kaya siya pumunta rito ngayong gabi para mapatunayan sa sarili na hindi siya kasing manhid ng iniisip niya. She was trained to be the Triad's best assassin at an early age of ten. Napakarami na niyang napagdaanan at napagtagumpayan niyang malampasan ang impyerno. Pero dahil sa nangyari kanina ay napagtanto niyang tao pa rin siya na nakakaramdam ng emosyon.

Alessia's lips curved up as she looked at a man drowning in alcohol a few meters away from her. He seemed oblivious of the surrounding. Patuloy ang patay-sinding ilaw at maingay ang paligid habang maraming nagsasayaw sa dance floor. Pawang mga kabataang may sinabi sa buhay ang mga naroon at karamihan ay sabog sa ipinagbabawal na party drugs.

Wala siyang inaksayang sandali at nilapitan ang lalaki.

Target locked. Alessia sexily flipped her long pink wig as she approached him.

"Wanna spend the night with me, lover boy?" she said seductively. Kinagat pa niya ang pang-ibabang labi. Ngayon niya lang lubos na napag-aralan ang itsura ng lalaki. He assumed he was Italian. He had an ocean-blue eyes and a stubble on his chin. Magulo ang ayos ng abot taingang buhok nito pero hindi maipagkakaila ang taglay nitong sex appeal.

Alessia gazed down his hands if there was a wedding band. Pero wala naman siyang nakitang singsing kaya malamang ay binata ito. Though even if he was married, she didn't give a damn.

The man chugged his drink before he looked at her. He scrutinized her from head to toe, and he smirked.

"Sure, I need that." Ipinatong nito ang baso at tumayo. Walang pasabing hinapit nito ang baywang ng dalaga at inilapit ang mukha sa leeg niya na wari ay inamoy siya. Alessia realized the man's height was towering, he was probably over six feet tall.

"Then let's go out." She smiled triumphantly. Matagal nang gustong gawin ito ni Alessia. She had to reclaim her body back... because she had lost everything as soon as she turned eighteen.

Your body does not belong to you anymore... A familiar man's voice reverberated in her mind.

Pasimple niyang ipinilig ang ulo. It was a part of her training to be merciless—she was raped and couldn't fight back because she was heavily drugged back then. Pero ngayon ay babawiin niya ang sarili at gagawin niya ang lahat nang bagay na gusto niya nang walang nagdidikta. At twenty-two, she had matured and know what to do.

Natagpuan ni Alessia ang sarili na kasama ang lalaki sa katabing mamahaling hotel. He was moving rough. Tila wala itong pasensya nang hubarin ang suot niyang damit. The man was in haste as he pulled her skirt down.

"Make me happy," the man commanded.

Their lips met. They hungrily kissed and Alessia gave him back equal burning passion. Naglalaro ang dila ng lalaki sa bibig ng dalaga. Amoy na amoy niya ang panlalaking pabango nito na sumasabay sa aroma ng alcohol.
