Note: Okay balik na tayo sa present :)

At present.

Lorenzo's POV

"What do you want, Lorenzo?" talas nang titig ni Domingo. Nakatali ang mga kamay niya at paa sa silya, at duguan ang mukha.

"Tapusin na natin 'to, boss!" si Antonio. Hawak niya ang baseball bat sa kamay. 

Domingo is a notorious hired killer. Matagal na namin siyang hinanap. Alam kong may alam siya sa nangyaring kidnapping noon kina Violet at Penelope. Antonio and the gang finally caught him.

"Wala kang makukuha sa akin, Lorenzo. I have nothing against you, and if you need some information, I will tell you the whole story. Marami akong alam sa kanila. You need me, Lorenzo. You cannot kill me."

"Sta 'zitto! Shut up!" Antonio hit his right leg, and Domingo screamed in agony.

"You better talk, Domingo! Do you want to me to cut off your head?" Hinawakan na ni Antonio ang leeg niya at nakatutuk ang matalas na kutsiyo sa leeg nito.

"Vaffanculo! Fuck you, Antonio! Papatayin niyo lang din ako. Mas mabuting hindi na ako magsalita." Natawa na agad siya at sumenyas na ako ay Antonio. Bumitaw rin agad siya kay Domingo.

"I'll deal with him."

I walk closer to the table where I can choose my next weapon. Antonio and the boys tortured him already. Domingo's leg bone and shoulder are broken from being beaten by my boys. But the heck, this monster is a one-hell evil... Ang tagal nga naman niyang mamatay.

"Pero, boss?" Harang ni Antonio nang kinuha ko ang martilyo.

"I guess I just need to crush his feet." Bahagyang tawa ko at iling na.

"That's lovely, boss! Enjoy, vundabar!" Flying kiss ni Antonio at lumabas na. Nasa labas din ang mga tauhan ko at nagmamatyag dito sa loob at labas ng bodega.

"Ano? Hindi ka ba talaga magsasalita, Domingo?"

I walked with a heavy footstep towards him and kneeled below, closer to his feet. I could feel him shivering, and his blood kept dripping. Mauubusan na 'ata ng dugo ang criminal na 'to at mamamatay sa harap ko. E, 'di mas mabuting tapusin na natin 'to.

"B-Boss, Lo--re--nzo..."

I smirked when I saw how afraid he was. My boys know my rules, and everyone knows me well. I show no fucking mercy, and I will kill my enemy in front of me.

"Ready to face the reaper, Domingo?"

I twisted his dislocated feet, and I heard it crackled. He screamed like there was no tomorrow for a hell of pain. I stood up in front of him and moved my head on each side of my shoulders.

"I don't care, Domingo. What makes you special to ask for a request?" Igting nang panga ko at hawak sa leeg niya.  I'm choking him to death. Mas mabuting mamatay na siya kung ayaw niyang masalita.

"T-T-The, N-Nos...traa."

Namilog ang mga mata ko at binitawan na siya. Nagmura ako nang makailang beses at sinuntok siya sa mukha. There's no strength from him, he's totally weak and bleeding. Kinuha ko na agad ang baril sa mesa at kinalabit ito. I aim it first on his right shoulder. Sinandya kong barilin siya sa gilid nang braso dahil wala akong planong patayin siya ngayon.

"It's the Nostra, Lorenzo! Have, mercy!" Lakas na boses niya at iyak. Hindi ko na maintindihan ang pinagsasabi niya. He's talking gibberish!

"If you don't believe me then, kill me now!" iyak niya. Namilipit siya sa sobrang sakit at nahihirapan nang huminga.

"The Nostra wants pay back. When they've found out about Penelope Viola, they have their interest. Ginamit nila si Stein Altera at inutusang akitin ka sa pamamagitan ni Penelope. They have paid Penelope's dad twenty million for that job. They want to bring you down together with Drake Del Fiore!" bilis na salita niya at agaw hininga.

"Ahm, okay, and?" I grab some bullets and load another six into my caliber.

"But they've killed Stein Altera while he was in Russia. Pinalabas nila na ikaw ang may pakana! The Vestro got scared, so they tied up with the Nostra. The kidnapping was their plan, Lorenzo..." iyak niya na parang baliw na.

"At ikaw ang kinuha nila?" Tutok ko sa baril sa ulo niya.

"No! They only hired me as a look out. Sina Britton ang nagtrabaho."

My heart throb in so much pain. I saw my beautiful sister's face, Violet on his face. She's smiling, and I can even hear her calling my name.

Dammit! Pinaputok ko na sa sahig ang baril na dapat sana sa mukha ni Domingo. Pumasok agad si Antonio kasama niya ang iilang tauhan sa likod niya.

"Boss?"

I stared at him with so much hate with me, then I gave him my order.

"Tapusin mo na." Tumalikod na ako at iniwan na sila.

"Vundabar! Wonderful!" Lawak na ngiti ni Antonio at tumalikod na ako.

I strode fast as I could and went out. Nakalinya ang lahat ng mga tauhan ko sa labas at napayuko pa sila. Lumapit si Ace, ang look out ni Drake at binigay sa akin ang cellphone niya.

"It's boss Drake."

"Drake?" Igting nang panga ko at pumasok na agad ako sa kotse.

"It's the Nostra again, bud. The Vestro are on their side now. We have to be careful. Maraming madadamay."

"I don't fucking care, Drake! They have to pay for what they did to my sister and my Penelope."

"I'm all on your side, bro. I'll get Gabriel Montanari, too. I need him, we need him this time," lalim na boses niya. "What are you planning to do?"

"Bring them all down, Drake. I'll make them pay more than a hundred times for what they did to Violet," I smirked. "They want to play dirty, huh? Okay, I'll show them the real Lorenzo Ferrero."

Pinatay ko na agad ang tawag, pero bago ko paman napaandar ang sasakyan ay ang boses ni Antonio ang narinig ko.

"Boss!" Patakbong lapit niya sa akin. Nakikita siya nang mga mata ko sa side-mirror ng sasakyan. Nakababa na ang binta ng sasakyan ko.

"Boss, patay na. Pinatay ko na." Pilyong ngiti niya. "Pero emergency, boss."

Binigay niya agad ang cellphone niya sa akin. Kinuha ko ito at kumunot pa ang noo ko. 

It's Alessandro; he's calling Antonio this time. I purposely didn't take my phone with me.

"Sandro?"

"Boss, si Penelope..." at natahimik siya sa kabilang linya.

"Yes, what about?"

"Boss, I'm sorry... Natamaan siya ng bala, pero daplis lang. Nasa hospital kami at-"

"Damn it! Alesandro!" I swore at him on the line. Naghalo ang inis at galit sa loob ko. Pinatay ko na ang tawag at tinawagan si Magento Supremo.

"Drop zero, Supremo."

"Are you sure about this, son?" buong boses niya.

"Fucking sure. Drop them all out and raid their warehouses. Same as the old thing."

"Taken and noted, son."

Pinatay ko na ang tawag at tinawag si Carmella. 

Magento is like my bank. We call him the Supremo, because he knows how to deal everything when it comes to money. Drake and him work on the same world. Mas pormal nga lang siya at hindi mo akalain na naglalaro ang buhay niya sa ilalim ng lupa. Nag-iisang kapatid ni Mama at isa sa pinakamayan at pinakamakapangyarihang tao sa buong Europa. I don't want to take advantage just because he is my uncle, but its given.

"Lorenzo! Oh, my goodness! I'm sorry," tarantang boses ni Carmella sa kabilang linya.

"What happened?"

"She's fine, Lorenzo. It was a local thief in town. Ginawang hostage nila si Penelope. Alesandro was outside the jewellery shop and he couldn't get in. Kaya noong umakyat ang mga magnanakaw sa rooftop na dala si Penelope ay kinuha niya ang pagkakataon na tamaan sila. But one of them shot Penelope. Mabuti na lang at daplis lang ito. Nasa ICU pa siya, pero stable na siya, Lorenzo."

Nabuntong-hininga ako at pikit-mata. "I'll be there soon. I'll fly tomorrow morning. Please look after her, Carmella."

"I will, Lorenzo. Mag-iingat ka. I've heard the news and-"

"I know. Don't get involved, Carmella."

"But, Eagle can help. I bet, he probably knew it by now. Kilala mo si Papa at alam mong hindi siya tatahimik. Kulang pa pala sa kanila si Damon ano? Huh, mga walanghiya! Sana nga pala pinatay ko na si Crimson."

"Carmella." Igitng nang panga ko at natahimik na siya.

"Your job is to look after Penelope. Wala ng iba."

"Okay! Fine! Pero kapag nakita ko ulit si Crimson dito, papatayin ko!" Pinatay niya agad ang telephono.

"Carmella! Damn it!" I hit the steering wheel, and that made a noise.

"Boss?" si Antonio.

"Kay Drake na muna kayo lahat."

"Yes, boss," yuko niya.

Pinaandar ko na ang sasakyan at bumalik na ako sa sanctuary. Nakasunod si Ace at ang iilan pa, pero naghiwa-hiwalay na rin. 

I have given them orders and most of them will go to Drake for the operation. Ayaw ko sanang isali pa si Eagle. Pero kilala ko siya. When we killed Damon and his team that was a victory. But this time I will play the chess game. Sisiguraduhin kong walang matatakbuhan ang mga Nostra at Vestro.

Maling tao ang kinalaban nila. They took the precious life of my step sister Violeta Ferrero and took the memory of my Penelope Viola. Hindi ko alam kung anong kahayupan ang ginawa nila sa dalawa. Sa tuwing naiisip ko ito ay hindi matatahimik ang kaluluwa ko. 

I can only imagine the pain that they've gone through, and its enough for me to go crazy.
