TAMED by the MAFIA QUEEN

Chapter 4 - Mafia Queen

PRESENT

"I have a bad news, Deb."

Napalingon agad siya kay Hunter matapos ang sinabi nito at kunot-noong naghintay sa susunod pa nitong sasabihin sa kanya.

She's now 27 years old and currently the Mafia Queen of Asia! Not long after killing Steven, the Mafia underground community around Asia appointed her as their new Mafia Queen. Dahil daw iyon sa tapang na ipinamalas niya nang patayin niya si Steven sa harap mismo ng Mafia leaders ng buong Asya. Kagaya raw niya ang pinakaleader na hinahanap nila. Fearless but wise and ruthless but reasonable. Isa pa ay nananalaytay daw sa dugo niya ang dugo ng Daddy niya kaya walang dudang kayang-kaya daw niyang pamunuan ang buong Asya.

At first she didn't like to accept the throne because it would be a huge responsibility looking after a whole continent of Mafia leaders. Wala na rin naman siyang nakikitang rason noon para manatiling konektado sa underground community.

Pero dahil na rin sa gusto niyang ipagpatuloy ang nasimulan ng daddy niya ay tinanggap na lang niya sa huli ang korona bilang Mafia Queen ng Asya.

Kaya ngayon, heto at patuloy siyang kinakatakutan at pinangingilagan ng mga Mafia leaders sa iba't-ibang bansa. Ilang Mafia leaders na rin kasi ang ipinapatay niya dahil taliwas sa ipinaglalaban nila ang ginagawa ng ibang mapagsamantalang Mafia leaders.

Sa lahat ng pinakaayaw niya ay iyong traydor! Hindi lang sa kanya kundi sa organisasyong pinamumunuan niya ngayon.

"There are rumors circulating in the underground community that someone is planning to remove you from your throne!"

Natawa lang siya ng pagak sa sinabi ni Hunter kahit halatang galit ito sa balitang iyon.

After being appointed as the Mafia Queen of Asia, Hunter not just became her official assistant and bodyguard, he also became her right-hand man.

"And after removing you, they plan to assassinate you." he continued and finished.

Doon na siya biglang sumeryoso. How dare them threaten her!

"And how would they do that, huh? No one is capable and brave enough to take my throne. Ni wala ngang kumakalaban sa atin ng harapan, tapos papatalsikin pa nila ako?" mariin at matapang niyang sagot kay Hunter.

Hindi man lang siya kinabahan pero nakaramdam siya ng galit sa kung sinumang gustong manakot at nagbabanta sa kanya.

In the underground world, a threat is a crime. Kaya kung hindi mo ito mapapanindigan o mapagtatagumpayan ay maghello ka na kay Kamatayan. If you have the guts to threaten someone, especially her as the Mafia Queen, then you must be ready to die.

"There is someone anonymous who's trying hard to find the Wisdom Stone... The one and only blue diamond gemstone that's left and the most expensive stone in the world! If he finds it, it could shake your throne."

The Wisdom Stone... Also known as the Crown Stone. It was a blue diamond gemstone that was re-formed like a crown. She knows about it too, of course!

It was said that there is one Blue gemstone found that weighs about 1 kilogram and its price ranges about 20-50 million dollars per carat! So if it is atleast 1 kilogram, it would be atleast 5000 carats! Sa madaling sabi, that Wisdom Stone has the price of atleast 100 billion dollars in whole!

Fuck!

Sa pagkakaalam niya ay bigla na lang nawala ang Wisdom Stone na iyon 20 years ago when the founder and the orginal owner of it who was a Mafia King, died. Someone might have stolen it, but no one found the culprit. It's also possible that the founder of that stone hid it or entrusted it to someone, but no one really knows.

Pero hindi lang dahil sa presyo niyon kaya iyon mahalaga. According to the legend, the one who has the Wisdom Stone has the power to regulate the Mafia community and he or she has also the immunity from the attacks of other Mafia leaders if and only if the Crown Stone hasn't been deformed or broken. Kung sino man daw ang kakalaban sa may hawak ng Wisdom stone ay awtomatikong kalaban na ng lahat. Well, ang dati raw kasing may-ari na siyang nakahanap niyon ay ang pinakamakapangyarihang Mafia King sa buong mundo ng underground world. At simula raw nang mapasakamay nito ang Wisdom Stone at ginawang Crown stone, tiningala at nirespeto na ito ng buong Mafia community. Maybe it's also because of the rarity of that stone, na nag-iisa lang sa mundo. But as why it suddenly vanished, no one has the slightest idea. Nagkagulo lang bigla at nagkanya-kanya ng nasasakupan ang mga sakim na Mafia Kings nang mamatay sa karamdaman ang may hawak sa Wisdom Stone kasabay ng bigla niyong pagkawala.

"May bagong lead na ba kung nasaan ang Crown Stone?" seryoso niyang tanong kay Hunter.

Kung para sa kapayapaan at maayos na kontrol ng buong underground world ang pakay ng kung sinumang gustong makahanap sa Crown Stone, she would gladly and voluntarily give up her throne. Pero kung ang pakay lang ng taong iyon ay kasakiman at pansariling kapakinabangan, then she won't let him or her succeed in his or her selfish goal!

"Wala pa. Pero Ayon sa intel, iniisa-isa nila ang lahat ng naging kunektado noon kay King Jeho, even the maids and cleaners." Pansin niyang matatas nang magsalita ng Filipino language si Hunter pero mas natuon ang isip niya sa isinagot nito sa kanya.

Kung ganoon, whoever is trying to find the Crown Stone is desperate to steal her throne, or maybe not just her throne as the Mafia Queen of Asia but the whole underground world. This is something that she shouldn't take lightly. Kailangan niya itong mapigilan para hindi maghari ang kasamaan ng pinakamasasamang tao sa buong mundo. Atleast siya, aminadong masama siya. Pero masama lang siya, hindi siya demonyo katulad ng ibang tao.

"Investigate in discreet, alamin mo rin at kilalanin ang lahat ng mga huling nakausap at nakasama ng namayapang King." utos niya kay Hunter.

"There was one thing... One thing about King Jeho that only a very few people knew."

Bigla ay umakyat sa pinakamataas na antas ng lebel ang curiosity niya. Kunot-noong tumingin siya kay Hunter at nagtanong.

"What is it?"

"King Jeho... Is a woman."

Bigla siyang marahas na napatayo mula sa pagkakaupo.

"Ano'ng klaseng kabaliwan iyang pinagsasabi mo, Hunter?! How dare you say that—"

"That's the secret your father told me. That King Jeho was hiding and faking her true sexuality. Kaya nga wala siyang asawa at anak. Your father knows because... Your grandmother's best friend was working directly for King Jeho."

Bigla siyang nalito. Kung ganoon, bakit hindi man lang hinanap ng Daddy niya ang Crown Stone noon? May alam kaya ang lola niya kung saan napunta ang Crown Stone na nag-iisa at pinakamahal na klase ng bato sa buong mundo? Pero paano niya pa iyon malalaman gayong wala na siyang ni isang pamilya ang natitira?

"Kung totoo ang sinasabi mo... Ano ang kinalaman ng sekretong iyan sa nawawalang Wisdom Stone?"

Kung totoo man ang sinabi ni Hunter, wala na siyang pakialam doon! Ang mahalaga sa kanya ay hindi magtagumpay ang kung sinumang may balak patayin siya!

"According your father, your granny's best friend might knew about the disappearance of the Crown Stone. But your father decided not to investigate and dig into it."

Napabuntong-hininga siya. Kung anuman ang dahilan ng Daddy niya kaya hinayaan nitong nawawala ang Crown Stone ay hindi niya alam. Pero ngayon ay kailangan niyang alamin kung nasaan ang nawawalang Crown Stone. Kailangan niyang maunahan ang kung sinumang demonyong naghahangad niyon.

"What do we know about granny's best friend?" tanong niya maya-maya kay Hunter.

"Her name was Azon Dimagon Contreiras and she's a Filipina. She and her husband started a jewelry store after Jeho died but up to now there still no Crown Stone emerged or even a part of the missing Crown Stone until her death." Ani Hunter.

Napakunot-noo siya.

"Any immediate family left?" tanong niya.

"There is only one left... Her grandson."

"Make a quick investigation about Azon's grandson and give it to me immediately." pagtatapos niya sa usapan at agad namang tumalima si Hunter.

Makalipas lang ang isang araw ay may resulta na ang ipinagawa niya kay Hunter.

Seryoso nitong iniabot sa kanya ang plastic envelope na naglalaman ng mga impormasyong tungkol sa apo ni Azon Contreiras na maaaring nakakaalam ng tungkol sa Wisdom Stone.

Napataas agad ang kilay niya pagkakita sa larawan nito. He is unquestionably handsome and hot. A professional businessman, matangkad, maganda ang katawan, guwapo at mukha ring matalino. It may not be easy to get the information from him in a smooth way.

But he has one weakness that she could use against him to get what she needs from him without exerting too much time and effort.

He's a womanizer. Then she just have to let him under her skirt to find the answers that she needs.
