Jaxon
"Hey, did you heard from mom that you are totally different from us?" sabi ni Renta habang naglalaro kami ni Duke sa loob ng aming silid. He's our step-brother which dad took in as he remarries after he casted my mom omega away from us.
"What do you mean?"
"She said your mother was an omega. A male omega. He couldn't get pregnant again, that's why father casted him away. How could a male omega become so disgusting and useless?"
"Shut up stupid," sabi ni Duke kay Renta sabay tayo at saka pinagsusuntok si Renta. "You dare to talk about that to my mom huh? I'll kill you bastard. I'll kill you!" sigaw niya.
Duke took his prized possession from his secret chest and stabbed Renta multiple times to death.
It was the first time Duke killed someone. Dad turned blind eye to what he did and acted like it never happened.
After Renta's death, Duke was put in a children 's psychiatric hospital, because he doesn't want to be away from me, I accompanied him until he was able to be discharged from the hospital.
"Duke, I think you need to do something about your anger issues," sabi ko sa kanya when we found out that we belong to the Elite Alpha after we turned eighteen.
When we turned thirteen, we already knew that we were alphas. Alpha take another test when they turn eighteen, especially those alphas that came from omegas if they are elites or not.
Duke and I are positive. We are the first Elites from our bloodline. And dad became more proud of us than his other children from his second wife.
"The f*ck are you saying, Jax? We can't be the next mafia boss if your subordinates don't fear you," sagot niya sa akin habang nakaupo sa sahig ng aking silid.
Napabuntong-hininga ako.
I knew Duke. He is more psychological than me, I'm more rational. Together we become the bosses of the Red Dragon Mafia that has been passed from generation to generation.
"So what do you think? Should I be going to see our purchased goods or should it be you?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Just go. I don't feel like wanting to see him Bastard, you spend six million for an omega. What a waste. The f*ck are you thinking?" inis na tanong niya habang humihithit ng sigarilyo.
"Thats not waste of money, you idiot," natatawang sagot ko sa kanya. "We need to sire an heir remember?"
"Tch. Do what you want," patamad na sagot niya.
Ngumiti ako at saka inayos ang salamin sa aking mata.
"Boss, he's inside, as per direction you instructed," pasalubong na sabi ni Alex sa akin pagkalabas ko ng pintuan ng silid ni Duke.
"Good," sagot ko sa kanya habang naglalakad patungo sa silid kung nasaan ang omega. "Was he treated well?"
"Yes, boss."
Huminto kami sa nakapinid na pintuan.
"You stay here, boys. I'm going to talk to him," sabi ko sa kanila bago isinuot ang aking itim na gloves.
"Yes, boss," sagot nila.
Pinagbuksan ako ni Alex ng pintuan at saka sinara pagkatapos.
"Good morning," bati ko sa isang nilalang na nakaupo sa gilid ng kama habang nakatalikod sa akin.
Ah, omegas are such a tiny human contrast to us, Alpha. Male omegas are extremely rare. I understand why. They can even rival female omegas when it comes to beauty and body. Hmmm.
Nilingon niya ako at nagtama ang aming paningin.
Our little purchased omega is crying. Tears falling from his Lilac colored eyes and I wonder why.
For an omega, he's too beautiful to be true. He's lilac big eyes are the prettiest I have ever seen.
"What's wrong? Are you mistreated?" tanong ko sa kanya sabay lapit sa kanya.
"C-can I g-go home?" nauutal na sabi niya. Obviously scared.
"Why? You don't like it here? Are you afraid of men with big guns?" tanong ko sabay upo sa tabi niya.
He shook his head. But in his eyes, he wanted to say yes!
"I have a sick sister and an elderly father who are depending on me. Can I go home?"
"I'm sorry but I can't let you go. But I promise that I'll see what can I do about them," sagot ko sa kanya sabay hawak sa kanyang pisngi at saka pinahiran ang luha niya gamit ang back part ng aking kanang kamay.
"Will you let me see them? Are you the one who bought me?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong.
"No. It wasn't just me. My twin brother and I bought you from that auction house," sagot ko sa kanya.
Maya-maya ay narinig kong may kumatok ng tatlong beses sa pintuan.
"Come in," sabi ko.
"Boss, Lady Madison is looking for you," sabi ni Alex ng makapasok ito sa silid.
Si Madison ay kapatid namin ni Duke. Actually our fraternal twin sister from our omega mother. She spent her childhood as the mistress of my grandmother's household and an Elite Alpha as well.
"Jaxon you f*cker! What the hell are you thinking spending such a-" sabi ng biglang pasok na si Madison at hindi naituloy ang kanyang sasabihin ng makita ang omega. "Wow! Such a cutie," sabi niya nang makita niya ang Omega na nakaupo sa kama. Agad niya itong nilapitan at hinawakan ang magkabilang pisngi at inilapit sa sarili niyang mukha.
"Sis, back off," sabi ko and gave her a warning.
"Well, what a cute little omega you have here, brother," sabi pa niya bago tinanggal ang kanyang mga palad sa mga pisngi nito.
"Don't you own one too?"
Ngumisi siya at saka lumapit sa akin.
Technically, mas matanda si Madison kaysa sa amin ni Duke since she was the last baby taken out from our mother's womb.
Inilagay niya ang kanyang mga kamay sa mahkabilang bulsa ng suit pants na suot niya.
She's not into mafia but he does assassination a damn good at sniping.
"He's pregnant. I just found out two days ago," sabi niya.
Niyaya kong lumabas kaming dalawa upang hindi marinig ng omega ang aming sasabihin.
"What? Are you feeling guilty about what you have done to Eon?" tanong ko sa kanya noong makapasok kami sa library na siyang opisina ko kapag nasa bahay kami.
"Yeah a little bit. I'm not ready to be a father yet," sabi ko. "I thought you can give me some advice so I seek for you," sabi pa niya.
I know their story. When I sent her to do some assignment in England she came with a little scared, broken and abused omega with her. At first she treated him as the most precious person in her life but it didn't last. Madison has a history of violence since her upbringing was all about violence. The house of Castel is all about underworld business thus, this Mafia was built. It wouldn't go this far if we were all raised in a normal family household. And Madison was trained as the perfect sniper ever existed. And above all that, she's a sadist.
I can't even imagine how she played with that little omega when she wanted him.
"So are you going to abort the unborn baby?"
"Stupid! That's not what I wanted to do," sagot niya bago nagde-quatro. "I want to change. You know the type that can spoil him to death or a loving partner," sagot nito sa akin.
"Then marry him. You're going to be a father so you have to marry him first."
"Do you think that is the best solution?" tanong niyang naguguluhan.
For the first time, I saw her troubled face which I never saw when we were still kids until to this day. She is probably serious about that omega.
"Yes. No need to rush. Do it step by step. To do that you have to quit your job. Focus on your family, especially Eon," sabi ko pa.
Tumingin muna siya sa akin bago nilagok ang alak na nasa kopita niya.
"Man, you're better than f*cked up Duke," sabi niya pagkatapos.
"He'll gonna hear you," natatawang sabi ko.
"Tell him he's going to be an uncle. I wish I could talk to him."
"He's sleeping right now," sagot ko sa kanya.
"Okay. Then I have to go. See you around brother," sabi niya pagkatapos tumayo.
"Take care."
"You too."
Sumulyap ako sa aking wrist watch.
It's past ten in the morning. I need to go to the building and deal with some mafia related business. That would be later. I need to know more about this little omega. I wanted to know more about him.
"Aurora," tawag ko sa head maidenservant ng mansion.
Agad itong lumapit sa akin.
"Prepare food for two. And fetch the omega after. I want to have breakfast with him," utos ko sa kanya.
"Right away, Boss," sagot nito bago pinalampak ang kanyang mga kamay na ibig sabihin ay nagtatawag ito ng mga kasamahan niya.
Bumalik ako sa library pagkatapos upang tawagan ang isa pinagkakatiwalaan kong tauhan.
"Boss," sabi nito sa kabilang linya.
"Did you settle everything down?"
"Yes, Boss. The father was a little bit emotional when I gave him the jar of his son's ashes."
"Good. Did you give them the cash?"
"Yes boss, as you instructed me to do."
"Very well. Thank you."
Pagkatapos ng usapan namin ni Dakota ay tinawag na ako ni Aurora. Ipinagbigay alam niyang nasa hapag-kainan na rin ang omega at ako na lang ang hinihinatay.
Pagdulog ko sa hapagkainan ay nakita kong nagsisimula ng kumain ito.
"What's your name?" tanong ko sa kanya bago naglagay ng butter sa toasted bread na nasa aking pinggan.
"P-peyton," sagot niya.
He's being cautious.
"Ah. I'm Jaxon. Come on, eat up. You're free to eat whatever you want," sabi ko sa kanya. "If you need anything, you can call Aurora. She's going to be your maid."
"M-maid?"
"Yes. Just call her and she'll tend to your needs," sabi ko pa bago nagpunas ng napkin sa aking labi. "I need to go to work now. I'll see you later," sabi ko sabay tayo.
Lumapit ako sa kanya at saka hinalikan siya sa kanyang ulo.
"Where the f*uck is Duke?" tanong ni Alejandro sa akin noong makarating ako sa Empire. Hindi pa ako halos nakakaupo sa aking upuan ng bigla itong dumating.
"Back at the house. Why?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Why? You asking me why? He f*ucked up again this time. He is supposed to deliver me three hundred million worth of weapons yesterday. I waited like some kinda statue at the meeting place we always use, then the bastard never came," galit na sabi nito sa akin.
"Chill okay? I'll have my men do that. I'll deliver it right at your door. Sorry, Dukes was drunk last night," sagot ko sa kanya.
"Oh please do. Instead of letting your brother do that, why don't you do it instead? Duke is lazy as f*ck."
"I really do apologize for that," sabi ko.
At tulad nga ng inaasahan ko, hindi lang isa o dalawa ang biglang sumugod sa Empire. Maraming transaction ang hindi nabigyang pansin ni Duke kahapon.
"Where the hell is Duke?" narinig kong may sumisigaw sa labas ng pintuan ng aking opisina.
Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako at nasapo ng aking kamay ang aking noo.
Bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok doon ang galit na galit na si Niko.
"Jaxon, I think you need to put some leash on your bastard brother," galit na sabi niya sa akin.
"Calm down, bro. What did he do?"
"He almost killed one of my patrons back at my bar," sagot niya.
Oh good gracious.
Pinakinggan ko muna ang reklamo ni Niko habang nag-iisip kung paano lutasin ang gulong pinasukan ni Duke.
"I'm sorry, Niko. Hayaan mo at pagsasabihan ko si Duke," sabi ko sa kanya.
"Yes you should," sagot niya. Without my bar, you can't do drug transactions. Tell that to him."
"Yes yes I will. Don't worry."
I am always the one who cleans or fix the damage Duke has done as always. I am more on negotiations rather than doing the tough job like killing, torturing and stuff that Duke can only do. We're twins pero hindi lahat ng nagagawa ni Duke ay kaya kong gawin. Between us two, ako ang mahina. I really need to put some decent words inside his thick skull not because he's being feared but because I want him to do his job properly.
