Married to a Multi Billionaire Mafia Boss [2nd Half]

Chapter 24: The lady and the boss

Chapter 24: The lady and the boss

Staring blanking on a headstone, habang nasa di kalayuan yung mga tauhan ko on look out sa mga taong pwedeng dumating.

 “I loving memory of Audrey Young—pftt”

I said sarcastically, trying my best not to mess the ambiance. Since the incident last 5 years ago, this is my first time in a while visiting my own grave. The grave, where they cried their eyes out knowing I’m dead.

What a pain, kahit anong nuod ko sa kanila umiyak on my grave wala akong maramdaman. It’s as if, I’m clouded with anger na kahit konsensya wala akong maramdaman.

“Hmm, these look fresh.” I said ng makita yung mga bulaklak na nakapatong sa baba ng headstone. Tinaggal ko yung sunglasses ko at pinulot yung bouquet, tinignan ko ng mabuti at mukhang kaka lagay lang ng bumisita dito nito.

“So, someone still remembers me huh?” I said, while thinking kung sino ang mga taong possible na nagvisit.

“Mukhang nauna lang sakin dumating.” I said at hinulog yung bouquet kung saan to nakapatong kanina. Tumingala ako ng marinig kong kumidlat kasabay non ay ang pag ihip ng malamig na hangin.

A storm’s brewing…

Tumalikod na ako at naglakad paalis, pero napatigil ako ng may lalaking nakatayo sa daan paalabas ng cementery. Pasimple kong sinuot ulit yung sunglasses na kanina ay tinanggal ko.

I lifted my face again at tinignan siya ng deretso, what is he doing here?

“Ohh, I see… aren’t you gonna bring those flowers?” He said habang sinisilip sa gili yung bouquet na hinulog ko.

I sighed at tinuloy nalang ang pag lalakad till I passed by him.

“Isn’t this a perfect time?” He said habang nakatingin sa langit, watching how thunder’s battling in the dark deep clouds.

Yes, it is. Time for you rotting people—be surprised, for I’ve finally risen from the dead.

“Yeah, it is.” I agreed, gritting my teeth, facing forward habang palabas ng gate ng cementery as my men lead me the way out hanggang makapasok ng sasakyan.

"Ohh! After 5 f*****g years! Sa wakas—I’m so damn excited!" He excitedly exclaimed habang papasok ng sasakyan paupo sa tabi ko.

Yeah, things are about to go down. I thought as I look at the pictures that were taken by a hired private investigator.

“So, he’s a busy man now, huh?” I said habang tinitignan si Xaviere through photos, He looks so matured and stern. Sa sama ng loob ni kinikimkim ko, the longer I look at him, the longer my anger boils—saktong nilabas ni Clark yung cigarette at lighter niya. Kinuha ko ng walang sabi sa kamay niya yung lighter niya na ipang sisindi niya palang at walang anu-ano’y sinunog ko yung mukha ni Xaviere sa isa sa mga pictures.

Tinitigan ko tong masunog till it satisfies me—hinablot naman ni Clark from my grip yung picture na nasusunog at pinangsindi to ng cigarette niya at pagkatapos non ay tinapon sa labas ng kotse habang umaandar.

“Tsk—”

“What? Kinuha ko kasi baka mapasok pa kamay mo, aren’t you glad I’m here?” Clark said with smug look and mischievous smile playing on his face.

“What about the other one?” I asked directly not buying his joke.

“Ugh, you’re being too cold on me~~” He whines habang binubuksan yung isang folder at kinuha yung mga pictures na nasa loob non at deretsong inabot sakin.

Being unknown for 5 years, is more than enough for me to regain and build myself up. Xaviere, oh how I long to see your face when you finally knew I’m well and alive. What will you show me first?

Thanks to you, I'm not who I was before,

No, thank you for killing who I was.

That Audrey who you buried under that f*****g 6 feet grave. The Audrey that till death didn’t had the chance to know, that she was indeed the long lost heiress.

Thanks to that, I, Scarlett has to take over—You don’t have any idea how much I’ve grown for the last 5 years. Thank you for feeding my undying hatred towards you. You who used to say you loved me, but in reality you didn’t.

If love is being possessive and manipulative, then go f**k yourself.

Anyway, that crybaby Audrey deserved to die, she got trolled by some motherfucking love. She f*****g fell for her own kidnapper! What the—

Irritated, I frowned and looked at Clark ng mapansin kong yung mga pictures ni Melanie were just taken ng makita ko yung date na naka lagay per pictures.

“Oh! Hehe, sorry—I forgot to tell you ahead of time na yung mga tauhan niya may laban ngayon—”

“And?”

"Eto naman! patapusin mo muna ako!" He protested dahil pinutol ko ang sasabihin niya kanina. 

“See her in those pictures? Ever wonder why she’s wearing a suit—“

“She’ll join the race.” I said when I realized na papunta siya sa race track, a smirk formed on my lips.

"But, it’s not yet confirmed kung matutuloy yung race ngayon wag ka mukhang magsaya.” Clark said as he smokes out.

“Don’t tell me they’re afraid of a few drops of rain?” I said sarcastically, as far as I know since sa loob ng years na nalaman kong ako yung nawawalang successor ng Eun Clan. This type of race isn’t a type to play with rules, they play for the thrill of risk while their lives are on the line.

“Who says this is just a rain? There’s obviously a storm—“

“Oh, Clark aren’t you being too naïve?” I cut him off when I thought of something that could make the race continue. He looked at me with puzzled and suspicious look written on his face.

“Anong iniisip mo—no, anong binabalak mo?” He asked.

“Well, what I’m saying is… as one of the vip member, can’t you do something to help a friend?” I said, leaning closer on side, looking straight at him.

Now, now, how will this psychopath responds to my provocation. For 5 years of harsh training with him, I have to say that till now…hindi ko pa rin mabasa kung anong iniisip ni Clark.

All I know is that, pinagkatiwala ako ng Eun clan sa kaniya, to help me cope up with their world.

Startled he looked at me more suspiciously.

“Why? Aren’t we friends, Clark?”

“Hmm?” Right after he heard that, a naughty grin slowly takes it place on his face.

“I get it, so it really is time to start the first act, huh?” He said leaning closer on me, umatras ako at bumalik sa kung kaano yung distance naming kanina. Then, he stopped on getting closer and chuckled.

“Huh? First—what?” A raised a brow, sa tagal ng panahon na kasama ko siya there’s this space that I can’t cope up with what’s on his mind. It’s as if, the more na kasama ko siya imbes na maging familiar ako the more na hindi ko siya nakikilala.

There’s this feeling that I can’t just let my guard down whenever his around.

“Never mind.” He said getting his phone out habang may hinahanap sa contacts niya. Natatingin lang ako sa kaniya—analyzing his expression. He’s humming habang hindi matago yung excitement sa mata niya, I can see clearly how eerie his thoughts are.

The first time I saw him, I know—he’s a complete psycho. Someone who takes pleasure from other people’s pain.

Since, then I don’t want to be on his bad side.

“Alright, I’ll be dealing with the other owners of that place, after that you do your thing.” He said after sending a text message to someone, at tumingin sakin while flashing his peculiar grin that it seems that I will never get used to.

“Oh, I will.” I will definitely will surprise you, Melanie.

 Agad ko namang tinignan ulit si Clark na kasalukayang nakadungaw sa bintana. This guy really helps me a lot, pero kahit ganon alam kong he’s not loyal to anyone. I know for sure that he’s just curious about me. He’s just helping me to satisfy himself, alam kong out of all these helps I’ve been receiving from him—there’s his true self that lurks in the dark. According to Eun clan representatives, Clark isn’t one of our people. And that alone is enough for me to keep my guard up everytime.

I can’t afford to die—recklessly again for some mere trust.

Just one time na pagtaksilan niya ako, I will not hesitate to kill him. Rather, I will not hesitate to kill anyone who betrays me. In this second life, trust is a double edged sword.

Eventually, nakaramdam nalang ako ng tension but I paid it no attention. Mas mahalagang pag tuunan ko ng pansin si Melanie.

I smiled "Let’s not headback sa mansion, let’s go straight sa race track." I said as I myself too, couldn’t deny how excited I am. Agad namang umoo yung driver and the man beside him immediately reported what I’ve said sa mga tauhan kong naka sakay sa mga separated cars sa una pati sa mga kotseng nakasunod sa likod.

What will that b***h does pag nakita niya ako mismo?

"Ohh! This is thrilling! To the speedway it is!" Clark squeals, na parang batang pinag bigyan lumabas.

Ugh, this psycho.

Natigilan naman niya bigla ng may makapa siya sa coat niya. Para may nakalimutan at kinuha niya under his coat pocket yung bagay na nakapa niya kanina.

"Hey, Scarlett! I forgot to—" The thing he took out of his coat, pique my interest. It looks like an invitation, looking at him mabilis niyang inabot sakin yun habang nakangiti nanaman na parang may mangyayareng hindi niya dapat palampasin.

“What’s this?” I asked at tinignan yung binigay niya.

"Kung sakaling hindi mo makita doon si Melanie. Well, hindi tayo sure because of the storm pero that my dear is an invitation na pwede niyang puntahan." I immediately open the letter and read the invitation and an wicked grin formed on my lips. In this aspect, I understand how thrilled Clark gets.

"A masquerade party..."  Hmm…this just suits my return. And to think it’s tonight.

"Yup! and I think you know what I mean?" He asked with his playful smile that really creeps me out. Seriously, He looks like a monster having that kind of smile pero dahil alam ko kung anong balak niya…and that we share the same idea…

“Where did you get this?” I asked, he looked at me and smoked out at tinapon na yung cigarette sa labas ng umaandar na kotse.

“Wait after all these years you’re still suspici—aren’t we friends?! Oh my goodness! My love! You’re hurting me!” He hysterically said habang nagpapanggap na nasasaktang habang nakahawak sa dibdib niya at nakatingin sa akin. But when he realized that I wasn’t fazed with his act, he sigh at inayos ang kaniya upo.

“I got that from a reliable source, Luhan.” He said, oh, another living proof that you can’t trust someone just because you’re friends with him. Pero kung galling kay Luhan to, then Lindsay must have know this.

Ugh, seriously…this world is twisted.

"Definitely, pupunta ako sa party na 'to kung wala siya sa race ngayon." I just said, convinced.

"Pero wag mo muna siyang papatayin, okay?" Deretso niyang sinabi, not even requesting but he sounds more imposing. It caugh my attention ng magbago yung tono niya, I glared at him, why? What do you mean wag papatayin?! 

"What I’m about to do with her is out of you business. But, why?" I gritted my teeth habang papunta na yung kamay ko sa likod ko kung saan may naka tagong baril, habang siya naka tingin lang ng deretso sa akin, ng makapa ko na yung baril, the tension grew stronger that it lasted a minute until he—

"Nah uh! not yet, matuto kang makipaglaro sa prey bago ka gumawa ng aksyon." He said chuckling off his way out the tension.

"Makipaglaro? Hmm that makes me wonder…anyways, thank you Clark." That makes me wonder, who’s your prey? What’s a prey to you?

I almost shrugged off the thought at tumingin sa labas ng kotse ng biglang—

"Xaviere’s also invited." He said that makes me looked back at him quickly.

“Invited rin ako! Hihi, aren’t you happy? The main cast for the first act is complete!” He squeals excitedly not even paying attention to my reaction. The time he noticed that I wasn’t saying anything, tumahimik siya at tinignan ako sa mata.

“Oh? Don’t tell me? You’re being shy right now na makita ulit yung husband mo after 5 years?” He said that made me act impulsively.

It’s as if, anger rushes through me at hinugot ko ng mabilis yung baril na nasa likod ko at tinutok to sa ulo niya.

“It’s ex-husband, Clark.” Shocked, it took him a few seconds to react. Seeing me glares at him strangely excites him more—he grins at mabilis na tinaggal sa kamay ko yung baril at kinalas to ng walang isang minuto. At parang walang nangyari, his eyes shines more than awhile ago habang nakatingin sa akin, leaning closer—he grabbed and holds my hand. Hindi ko na inabalang tanggalin yon sa grip niya dahil alam kong pag na aroused ko yung creepy na fetish niya for action and intimidation, wala akong magagawa kundi palipasin yon.

Nasanay nalang ako magmula ng itrain niya ako, everytime I surprises him in my sudden stunts out of impulse. Nagiging ganito siya—proud and adoring of what he made.

“Oh, Scarlett, you don’t have any idea how happy I am seeing my investment—”

“Shut the f**k up, Clark. You, telling me I’m your investment really creeps the f**k out of me.” Tinigilan ko siya at ng maramdaman kong lumuwag yung grip niya, tinaggal ko ng mabilis yung kamay ko, at sinenyasan siyang bumalik sa pwesto niya kanina.

Parang batang pinagalitan, padabog siyang sumiksik sa pwesto niya kanina.

"At, oo nga pala! Zack’s coming! Ugh! To think all the big cast would all gather tonight!  dapat lang na nandun ako—I mean ikaw! Hihi.”

Zack.

"You see...mapapahamak ka lang kung sa kanya ka mapupunta. I’m just saving you from further troubles to come." 

 "Audrey, you should grab this chance and save your life. I’m telling you, you’ll thank me soon enough for this offer."

After waking up from the accident, I finally understood kung anong ibig niyang sabihin that night. Pero, were the troubles he was saying back then were the same trouble I suffered from? Does that mean, simula palang alam na niya?

If I had taken that chance to run away from Xaviere with Zack. Will everything change from what it is now?

After all these years, these unanswered questions still bug me. However, wala na akong pakialam if Zack, will still give a damn, after all. Ako yung naipit sa away nilang mag kapatid.

And, tapos na ang lahat, wala ng buhay ang babalik pag nasagot niya ang mga tanong ko.

In the end, they all deserve to be punished.
