UNTOLD SON (Mafia Series 1)

Nakatitig ako sa magazine na nasa mesa. Nagsasaya ang mga Lamberto sa kanilang achievement kung saan nakuha nila ang ang isa sa mga malaking stock sa market. It's been five years, at hindi ko nakakalimutan na sila ang dahilan kung bakit pumanaw ang aking ama. Bukod pa doon ay ang pagkakaroon ko ng deperensya na magkaroon ng anak. Kahit na hindi natuloy ang kasal ko sa anak ng mga Ruiz ay hindi nawala ang galit ko. I am waiting the right time to take revenge, at iparamdam ko sa kanila ang sakit na nararamdaman ko noon. Ibinaling ko ang tingin sa salamin kung saan inaayos ko ang suit. I am wearing black suit with red necktie. After the incident I barely have time to get out with my cousins. "Are you coming or just keep going staring at your ass?" Mark asked as he pass behind me. He picked up his coat on the sofa. Alam niyang nag-aalangan pa kong humarap sa mga tao. Mark is one of my cousins. Pansamantala kong inihabilin sa kanya ang pamamahala ng aming clubs, hotels and resort sa Zambalez. Bukod pa doon ay ninety percent ng mga negosyo ni Daddy ay siya ang nagpapatakbo. Kapatid na rin ang turingan namin sa isa't isa simula nang mawala ang kanyang mga magulang. Mark was a cold tone personality when it comes to business. He was bold and strongest among my cousins. That was good thing that I admire him. Finally, I decided to show up to our staff. Kahit sa mga business trip ay si Mark ang gumaganap on my behalf. We're here for a big meeting he held for me. I am ready to take over and manage my dad's business after he left 5 years ago. "We are waiting for you guys and everything is ready," Trevor yelled while sticking his head out the door. Trevor is my cousins too. He is nice and cheerful person and everyone knew him but in a way still extremely childish. He supervise the resorts under Mark management. "We're coming Trevor," I yelled back at him. I fixed myself once again to make sure I'm pleasantly faced them. A couple of minutes, Mark and I leading to the private lounge of my hotel. I looked around me and took my new surroundings. I hadn't been here for so long. Kaya ganoon na lang ang mangha ko sa pag-aayos ni Mark sa lahat ng pag-aari ko. "Thanks Mark," I gratefully thank him for what he have done. He smiled and tapped my shoulder. Alam niya kung gaano namin pinapahalagahan ang minana namin kay daddy. Even though he is not the heir but still he part of what I have. Hinatid niya ako sa mesang nakalaan para sa akin. But there are two empty chairs beside me. Mark didn't tell me who will sit with me. Even though question running on my mind I look around watching my staff each of them. I spotted Trevor with the group of ladies behind. Napailing na lang ako at hindi pa rin ito nagbabago. Nilibot kong muli ang paningin sa lahat na narito. Those men around weren't normal staff. Some of them is my private bodyguards. Napansin ko rin ang mga tauhan ng mga Ruiz which is Mark invited them to witness my speech. Inaasahan ko rin na darating ang mag-ama. So far I haven't seen yet them. Ngayong nandito na uli si Ivy sa bansa hinding-hindi niya palampasin ang panahon na makita at makausap ako. Pinatawag ko ang lahat not even this staff of clubs hotel and resorts. Naririto rin ang mga taong may katungkulan sa mining company na nasa parteng Visayas. Mining is one of the biggest ari-arian na mayroon si Daddy at ito naman ay protektado ni Gov. Lucio Ruiz. "Surprised!" I looked up to the lady who suddenly appeared in front of me. She surprised me with her million dollar smile. Her beautiful long braids hair perfectly fell over her shoulder. Ivy was gorgeous and everyone know it. But the fact is she spoiled brat at dahil na rin sa nag-iisa itong babae sa kanilang pamilya. Just a second I thought them and here they are showing up on me. I'm not a rude to ignore her even I really don't like her. However, I gave my sweetest smile back and greet her and her father. Her two brothers staying at America because they don't like to be socialize, which their father is a governor in one town. And also being supporter of mafia, is dangerous for their personal life. "Finally, you got out from the box were you was Hijo," Lucio said. Lucio Ruiz is a close friend of my father. I dishonor their arrangements for my marriage to his daughter, after I know that my father already transferred all of his asset to my name. At walang nagawa si Lucio nang sinabi ko na hindi matutuloy ang kasal. But he's hoping na magbago ang isip ko kapag nakaganti na kami sa mga Lambarti. On the other hand, Lambarti's family is one of our competitors. At ngayon ay lalo silang umaangat sa industry. "Yes Tito, matagal-tagal na rin akong nanahimik at ngayon gusto ko na magpatuloy sa buhay lalo na at umaangat na lalo sila," tugon ko rito. "Huwag kang mag-alala Hijo once pumayag ka na magpakasal kay Ivy, I will give you all my support to take revenge from him. Now I'm collecting more evidence para madiin natin si Ambrosio Lambarti sa pagpatay sa daddy mo," saad nito. Giving him a crock smile as he continues promising his support. I didn't know untill now he never expose those evidence. He is serving the country but I don't much believe him. Lahat na lang ay pangako at ni isa sa mga iyon wala pang nattutupad. Limang taon na ang nakalipas ngunit ang suspect ay hindi pa rin nahahanap. Patuloy na nagsasalita si Mark sa harap upang ipaliwanag sa lahat ang aming adhikain sa pagpatakbo ng aming kompanya at iba pang ari-arian. Mark will be guided me as long I needed him. Pagkatapos ng speech ni Mark ay tinawag na ako para sa pagbati sa lahat at kaunting mensahi. I mentioned Lucio Ruiz for his presence and also Ivy for her coming back. Everyone cheered around of a plause. Patuloy ako sa pagsasalita nang may napansin ako sa mga nagsisilbi ng mga bisita. Everything suddenly came back to my mind. Ngunit may agam-agam sa puso ko kung siya nga ba ito. "Ava?" "Ava?" "Ava?" Distraction ruin my speech at agad ko na itong tinapos. Ramdam ko ang kabog ng dibdib ng makita siya. Im not sure yet but my heart telling me that she is.
