GREATEST LOVE AFFAIR (R18+)

CHAPTER 15 (CILLIAN'S POV)

"Sir, what do you want me to do with him?"

"Teach him a lesson, Zuro. Do not kill him."

He nodded before going out of the car and chased the man who stole Azekyne's bag.

We're on our way home after having a quick drink when I saw her sitting in a park. She's alone and look distraught that's why I asked Zuro to slow down to take a look on her.

That's when we saw a suspicious man walking towards her.

I already sensed danger but I remained sitting inside the car and watch Azekyne being robbed by that guy.

Zuro waited for my signal but I just told him to stop the car. Pinanood namin ang nangyari hanggang sa makaalis ang magnanakaw.

I don't know why I suddenly feel the urge to follow the guy and kill him but I stopped myself. This is not the right time to be violent that's why I asked Zuro to do that.

Bumaba siya ng sasakyan at ilang saglit lang ay bumalik agad siya dala ang bag. Hindi na siya dumiretso sa akin at kusa na niya itong binigay kay Azekyne na nakaupo sa lupa.

Even from the distance, I can see her swollen eyes.

She's crying...

I gritted my teeth out of nowhere and sighed. Tinignan ko ang oras sa suot kong relo at nakitang malapit na mag alas-dose. I should head back home, someone is waiting for me.

Kinatok ni Zuro ang bintana sa backseat kaya binuksan ko iyon nang kaunti.

"Sir, should we head her back in-"

"Let's go now. She's already safe, no need to do that."

Tumango ito at sumakay na sa kotse. I maybe interested in her, but I still have important things to do.

Azekyne Elleanor Varmona. One of the highest paid model.

I had her investigated. Inalam ko lahat ng impormasyon sakanya, hindi dahil isa siya sa mga kaaway ko o isa sa mga kailangan kong tugisin.

I became interested on her because of that unforgettable night. She's the first woman who made my body feel so hot. She just danced infront of me and it nearly crashed my whole system.

It's been years since I became interested on a girl.

And that fact that she's really beautiful... The moment I saw her walking in that stage, wearing an elegant gown, I cannot take my eyes off her anymore.

I'm hooked and I thought it's just for a minute, but the show was done and I still keep on thinking about her.

Until I saw her again on that bar, looking so hot with a tight dress. That's when I decided to approach her, and there... Things got out of hand.

I was and still mesmerized by her beauty. I want her. I'm certain of that.

But I will take her slowly. Wala sa personalidad ko ang angkinin agad ang nagustuhan ko, let me take things slow.

As of now, I want to know her from afar. I heard that she's not into men these days and I'm glad to know that.

She's gonna be mine and I will do everything to make it happen.

Obsession is not my thing, but if it's her, I will be happily obsessed.

Nakarating na kami sa mansion kaya hindi ko na siya hinintay na pagbuksan ako ng pinto at kusa nang bumaba ng sasakyan.

"Is he asleep?" Tanong ko agad kay William.

He's the butler of this house.

"He's awake, sir. He's been waiting for you, he doesn't want to sleep."

I sighed took my coat off. Binigay ko ito sakanya at naglakad na paakyat ng hagdan. I entered a dark room and when I opened the lights, I saw my son looking at me with his cold eyes.

"I'm sorry," agad na sabi ko.

"I can't sleep," he said in a cold tone.

I walk towards his bed and sat beside him.

"Let me sleep with you then, come on."

Binuhat ko siya at pinahiga ng maayos. Tinanggal ko muna ang suot kong sapatos bago sumampa sa kama at tinabihan siya.

"Did you drink your milk?"

He nodded.

I tuck him to bed and put his head on my arms.

"You need to sleep now, son. You still have class tomorrow."

"Don't leave my side then, stay here."

Sinunod ko ang sinabi niya at inantay siyang makatulog, I didn't move even for just a bit.

Dash Aeron Montecarda, my 7 year old son. He's not totally my son, he was my sister's.

My sister was killed 6 years ago, with her husband. They're running our mafia back then, and when they were killed, their position passed down on me. I am now the leader of the mafia they build two decades ago.

And I'm currenty taking revenge of her death. I am hunting those who made Dash became an orphan at the very young age.

I took the responsibility and made him my son. Ayokong lumaki siyang wala siyang kinikilalang magulang, but the age of 7, Dash is already so smart.

He already understood that I am not his real father. I already told him what happened to his parents, hindi lahat, pero hindi ko tinago sakanya na pinatay ang mga magulang niya dahil gusto kong maging matapang siya sa batang edad pa lang.

I don't mind him calling me daddy, a lot of people think that I am a divorced man because of that.

I don't mind it, what matters for me is my companies, my mafia and him.

Napansin kong tulog na siya kaya dahan dahan kong tinanggal ang ulo niya sa braso ko. I stand up and took my phone out. I dialed one of my men's number and asked him an update about the job that I assigned him to do.

I run a lot of businesses, but I also run a mafia with lots of enemies.

Those unfortunate events happened to my family actually made me the most ruthless and dangerous Montecarda. I can kill in an instant, with no remorse, as long as you deserve it.

Natapos ang tawag kaya lumabas na ako ng kwarto niya at pumunta sa sarili kong kwarto. I took my clothes off and enter the bathroom.

Binuksan ko ang shower at sinahod ang sarili ko ro'n. The water is warm, I closed my eyes and put my hands on the wall.

Nakita ko pa ang ilang bakat ng dugo sa kamay ko dahil sa binugbog kong lalake kanina. He accidentally bumped into me when I was on my way to the bathroom, instead of apologizing, he just chuckled and continued walking.

I have no patience with those kind of people that's why I gave him some heavy blows.

I sighed and caress my hair, I was having a hard time sleeping these past few days and I'm starting to get irritated. I closed the shower and stayed there, with my eyes closed... The image of that woman entered my mind.

My body started to feel hot the moment I imagined her drunk face.

F*ck!

Kinuyom ko ang kamao ko at binuksan ulit ang shower at sinet ito sa pinaka-malamig para matanggal ang init ko sa katawan. Tinapos ko ng mabilisan ang paliligo at nakahubad na lumabas ng banyo.

When I got out, I saw a figure standing right behind my curtain. Matalas ang paningin ko at naramdaman ko agad ang presensya niya.

So, another assassin entered my house, huh?

They're not really wasting time.

Pasimple akong pumasok sa walk-in-closet ko at kumuha ng baril na may silencer.

This will gonna be messy again. A dozen of assassins were killed inside my room yet they're still sending some stupid assholes here, they didn't learn their lesson.

Dahan dahan akong lumabas at pinakiramdaman kung nasaan na ang taong 'yon. The silence is so loud and I can hear his footsteps, kahit pa pilitin niyang huwag lumikha ng ingay.

When he took a step outside that curtain, I aimed for his foot and shoot it.

Seconds before his scream, I shot his head and he falls down on my carpet.

Blood is coming out from his head, he's wearing a cap and a gangster type outfit.

This is not from the same group that's been constantly sending assassins to kill me.

I guess I have a new enemy.

Pinindot ko ang naka-konektang intercom sa kwarto ko at sinabihan si Rio na umakyat dahil may lilinisin nanaman siya rito.

He already knows what to do.

I didn't tighten the security here because I want them to come to me and face their death. Sa gano'ng paraan ay hindi na ako magpapagod pa na hanapin sila.

Entering my premises is like digging their own graves.

Those stupid assholes.

Pumasok na si Rio sa kwarto ko at nagsimula nang maglinis ng kalat.

Lumabas naman ako at pumunta sa opisina ko rito sa mansion at doon na ako magpapalipas ng gabi.

Kinabukasan ay nagising ako dahil sa isang presensya na naramdaman ko sa tabi ko.

"Wake up, dude. Kanina ka pa namin hinihintay sa baba."

My jaw tightened when I heard Mino's voice.

He's one of my friends, siya lang ang nakakapasok sa kwarto kung nasaan ako. The rest, they're scared. Alam kase nilang magalitin ako at ayokong may pumapasok sa kung nasaan ako nang walang paalam.

"I'm going to count, Mino. In 3 second, I want you out of my office."

"Dude! You can't scare me like that, you know? Gising na ang anak mo tsaka may pupuntahan pa tayo ngayon, get up-"

"Two seconds left." I cut him off.

"F*ck!"

"One.."

"Tangina! Ito na!"

Narinig ko siyang kumaripas ng takbo palabas kaya napabuntong-hininga ako. Tumayo na ako at agad na tinignan ang suot kong relo. It's 8 am, naglakad ako palapit sa lamesang malapit sa akin at agad na nagsalin ng alak sa basong nakita ko ro'n.

Nagsalin lang ako ro'n ng kalahati at diretsang tinungga. This became my habit after my sister's death, it makes me calm everytime I'm drinking.

I have this personality that I get mad every morning and I tend to be very sensitive. That's why people on this mansion are scared everytime I wake up.

Except for my friends and Dash, my son.

Tumayo muna ako sa tapat ng bintana ng opisina ko ng ilang minuto hawak ang baso na ininuman ko. After a few minutes , I decided to go down.

My friends were part of the mafia too, so basically, they're not just my friends, they are also my men.

They work for me.

Naabutan ko sila sa baba na kinakausap si Dash na mukhang hindi natutuwa sa kaingayan nila.

Mino, Seri, Jillian, Vince and Hillandro. Nandito sila lahat, kumpleto.

Nakita nila akong bumaba kaya nagsi-tayuan sila at nag-bow sa harapan ko.

That's part of our everyday lives. Kahit mga kaibigan ko sila, kailangan pa rin nila akong respetuhin bilang boss nila.

Tumayo si Dash at naglakad palapit sa akin. He encircled his tiny hands on my waist.

"I'm going to be late, you sleep too much."

Ginulo ko ang buhok niya at binuhat siya. He's 7 years old but he's like a baby when it comes to me. He's seriously clingy but he has a cold personality just like me.

"I'll make your breakfast then," utas ko.

Tanging luto ko lang ang kinakain niya, kapag wala ako ay si Zuro ang nagluluto dahil tinuro ko rito kung anong tipong pagkain ng anak ko.

Dinala ko siya sa kusina at pinaupo sa kitchen counter. I will cook him some beef stew, one of his favorites.

Nagsi-sunuran naman ang mga kaibigan ko at tahimik na naupo sa tabi ni Dash.

"Boss, ready na ang team nila Eugene. Anong sasakyan ang gagamitin mo?"

"I'll use the same car," tipid kong sagot.

"Ayaw mo bang gamitin 'yung bagong collection mo? Astig kaya no'n!"

"Vince, sila Eugene lang naman ang makakalaban mamaya, hindi sila gano'n kagaling. Okay na nga sakanila kahit ordinaryong sasakyan!"

"Huwag kang pakampante, Jillian. Madumi lumaban ang mga 'yun, kaya mas mabuti na pang malakasan ang gamitin natin!"

"Hindi nga–"

"Daddy, they're too noisy."

Napahinto sila sa pagsasalita nang sabihin iyon ni Dash. Tinignan ko sila ng masama dahil naingayan na ang anak ko sakanila.

Salubong na ang dalawang kilay nito at mukhang iritadong iritado na nga.

"All of you," turo ko sakanila. "Out!"

Kumaripas sila ng takbo palabas ng kusina kaya naging tahimik na ulit ang paligid. It took me 20 minutes to cook and after that, I fed him and asked his nanny to help him take a bath.

He's homeschooling, hindi ko siya pinayagang mag-aral sa normal na paaralan. Homeschool is a safer choice, especially that we're surrounded with enemies.
