-Flashback-
” Remember everything I told you, apo,” I heard Lolo whispered to my ear, so no one will notice that we are hiding in this place.
Even though my grandfather is already at the age of 64, he still has a good body, a result of his continuous training and occasionally going to the gym.
He and my father do look alike, but Papa got grandmother’s eyes.
I lay face down on the grass and readied my sniper rifle.
Lolo even accompanied me for my “initiation.”
I’ve been training for already 3 years now, and I was told that I am now ready to kill.
I’m not a bad person that really wants to murder someone. It’s just that Lolo told me that the one I’m going to kill today did something wrong to our mafia, and this will be our ‘revenge.’
My grandfather had been waiting for this day to come, and here I am now, and I won’t disappoint him.
They said that I’m fearless when it comes to training. I always excel, and all have been expecting me to have my kill today.
So I didn’t have to think twice about going here.
“Good luck, apo” he kissed my cheeks and slightly distanced himself from me. I smiled.
I sighed then looked at the scope of the gun.
I breathed deeply and was about to shoot the woman whose back is facing my direction.
But she turned around and seemed like she’s dancing.
She gracefully danced. Her movements are light like she’s doing ballet.
I can’t help but stop.
She’s so beautiful.
And she looks so innocent.
And sweet.
My mouth opened in awe.
Why would someone like her do something so bad that my grandfather wants her killed?
She looked like she’s a kind person, and she reminds me of Mama.
” Pat, what’s the problem?” I ignored grandpa and continued to stare at the lady. I lowered my gun.
She’s looking straight at my eyes.
Wait. She can see me?!
I don’t know what to do. Should I hide? But I felt like I want to be seen.
My heart’s telling me that she’ll never do something wrong to me.
She was shocked at first and can’t help furrowing her eyebrows.
Maybe wondering why someone like me is holding a gun at such a young age.
I saw that she became scared as she looked at her surroundings.
” Pat, shoot her!” Shouted Lolo in a whisper.
” But she looks like she’s innocent,” he frowned at what I said.
” She’s not innocent, so shoot her!” I looked at the woman once again.
Her head tilted at me, then felt slightly afraid again.
Then she smiled at me.
She gave me a sad smile.
I started trembling.
What am I doing?! I almost killed an innocent being.
” I can’t do it, Lo. She’s innocent. I can’t kill her.” He held both of my cheeks.
” No, Pat. This is your only chance. To prove that you’re worthy of becoming my granddaughter. I—” I shook my head at him repeatedly.
I’ll be worthy of being your granddaughter after I killed someone?! No lolo! I won’t kill that woman.” I won’t ever kill someone that I’m not sure if it’s really a bad person.
I can see that she’s a caring and kind person… I can’t let her die.
Lolo gripped my shoulders tightly, it’s obvious that his patience is wearing thin.
” Kill her, Nassandra” Grandpa rarely calls me Nassandra. He’s displeased.
I shook my head and looked at the woman once again.
She’s crying now for an unknown reason, but she’s still smiling at me.
” No—”
*bang*
I gasped when Lolo brought out his gun and shot the woman.
With wide eyes, I helplessly watched the innocent woman fell down on the grass.
I looked at lolo in horror.
” Let’s go,” he agitatedly commanded. The others stood up to follow my grandfather’s command, but I just cried while shaking my head.
” Let’s go, Pat,” he said, angry and disappointed.
” You killed her!” I remarked. He just holds my arm and dragged me.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
But I swiftly get out of his grip and runs towards the woman.
” Pat! Get the f— back here! Someone might see you!” I heard lolo shouted, but I pay it no mind.
His silencer has a silencer, and I’m sure the woman’s company didn’t notice the gun sound.
I kneeled beside her, panting, and immediately puts my hands on her chest where her wound is to stop it from further bleeding.
” Haaaaa—” she groaned.
My tears fell down nonstop as I consistently say sorry to her.
” We need to get you in the hospital immediately,” I said.
She looked at me as she touched my hand on her chest.
” Y-You’re still so young,” her voice is soft like an angel.
I tried to recall in my mind what my parents used to do whenever they’re treating someone who got shot.
” What’s your name?” she weakly asked. I glared at her.
” You don’t need to know that! You’re dying here!” I stated. She smiled at me and weakly touched my cheek.
” That’s why I need to know the name of the girl who is saving me right now,” my chest heavied at what she said as I almost can’t see because of my tears.
” N-nassandra. Please don’t die. I’m sorry,” I said to her, sobbing loudly.
She wiped my wet cheeks.
” It’s okay. You don’t have to be afraid.”
” Please don’t die. Please don’t die, I’m sorry.”
” Nassandra. It’s okay. You’re not the one who shot me, and we both know that.”
” Mom!” I saw someone came out of the house, but I didn’t move at where I am.
I don’t care if they capture me. I won’t leave her here, dying.
” Pat. Let’s go” I felt my grandfather pulling, but I didn’t remove my grip on the woman.
.” Stay strong…” she was the one to let go of our grip at the same time her eyes closed.
NO!
The man runs to her mother, and our eyes met for a split second. Although my eyes are blurry due to my tears.
-End of Flashback-
I looked at Kei’s eyes.
It’s his mom…
I was supposed to kill his mom.
I’m feeling that Keian and I are looking at each other because he’s looking at the camera.
” Nassandra Pat Del Luna. Granddaughter of Maximo Del Luna. She is the reason your mom—-” Keian reached for the camera and throws it.
The screen went black as the video feed stopped.
I immediately felt weak.
” I’m not the one who killed his mom,” I said while looking at the black screen.
Oh, sweetie, the reason you were able to join Dad’s mafia is that you killed the woman.
” You’re not there, and you don’t know what really happened!” I uttered angrily, to which he just only smirked at.
Diego’s face suddenly appeared on the screen.
” Hahahaha! Their expressions were price—” I sadly looked at Diego, who stopped talking when he saw me lying on the floor.
He looked shocked and seemed like he felt guilty before his expression darkened.
” Why is she with you, Elias?” he asked in emphasis.
” It’s my surprise for you, Diego. Do you like it?”
” I never gave an order for you to take Pat from them,” Tito Elias laughed.
” Oh, please, it’ll be more fun if Pat’s here. There’ll be more drama. And also, I didn’t take her, she was the one who went to me.” I glanced at Nathan, who is behind us, as he takes the drug uncle gave him.
I felt sadder.
” Why do you have to do that, Diego?” I asked him.
He looked at me, and his expression slightly softened.
” You won’t understand it, Pat. You don’t know what’s happening in Il Massimo Impero” I looked at him for the last time, then dazed out on the floor.
” Hahaha, I’ll take care of my niece Diego. Diego. Let me have a little fun and revenge for my legs,” I heard Tito said.
” Don’t you dare kill her”
” Of course I won’t.”
Third Person’s POV
As their mission has no success, Keian and his friends had to go back to the mansion.
Confusion and anger are what Keian’s feeling right now.
Because of what Diego said, his doubts about Nassandra came back. Especially now that he knows Nassandra was a part of Il Massimo Impero.
He doesn’t want to believe that the one who killed his Mom is Nassandra, but logically thinking, It can be Nassandra who really killed his mother.
Keian punched his steering wheel hard, causing his car to horn loudly.
” F*ck” he drove the car over to the side of the road and is touching his head while sitting in the middle of the night.
His heart is hurting because of the revelation he just heard. And also, his mind might blow up any minute because of all the questions swimming inside.
He gets out of his car as he tried to calm himself down, but he can’t help but punch the car’s window.
He continued punching until it breaks.
He didn’t mind his bleeding fist and leaned his forehead at the door of the car, his right hand holding the part above the broken window.
Panting, he stayed in one position, trembling in anger.
After a few minutes, he was able to calm himself down.
He lets the others go back to the mansion first, he wants to be the last to return.
A voice came out of the earpiece he’s wearing.
” Rider to Alpha,” Kei stood straight.
” What is it?”
” You need to go here, now. Nassandra’s gone, and so is Nathan” his calm self didn’t last long after hearing what Zeke just said.
He immediately went back inside the car and swiftly drove back to the mansion.
