WARNING: This chapter includes discomfort to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

Ivy's POV

If I die now,

Dad will punish Eivan,

Because Eivan is the only one whose with me,

Everyone will assume that Eivan kill me,

And if that happens... Eivan will be removed to the succession of the throne, which is being the Mafia Emperor.

"You've gone mad..." Malamig na bulaslas ni Eivan habang tinitignan ako ng matalim.

I know that... Isang ngisi ang nabuo sa labi ko habang malamig na nakatingin sa mga mata niya."And because of my madness... I might end up killing myself right now." I hate this... Life is pointless if I can't protect him.

Third Person's POV

"Maximilian, do you know your mistake?" Malamig at seryosong tanong ni Ivan habang pinapanood si Maximilian na nilalatigo ng paulit ulit.

It's been three days since Maximilian received torture from Ivy's father. His been enduring endless pain for days. Nanatiling tahimik si Maximilian. Maximilian has been receiving death threats before the Class Reunion and has been suspecting that Ivan, the Mafia Emperor himself is the one behind it.

Ivan was already feeling threatened by his right hands' presence because even if Maximilian was second to the highest level, he has the power to surpass Ivan, the one who was bothering him why isn't he rebelling against him even if he has the power to do so? Because of his anxiety, Ivan takes action before Maximilian does.

He sends a highly skilled assassin to kill him every night, luckily Maximilian killed them all but he receives grave injuries from the assassins he becomes restless every day because he can't blink about how many assassins will attack him again.

"BAAAAMMMM!!"

"BOOOM!!"

"CRASHHH!!"

Napatigil sa paglalatigo kay Maximilian ang tauhan ni Ivan ng may narinig silang ingay at putok ng bala sa labas ng headquarters. Bahagyang nagsalubong ang noo ni Ivan pero sinenyasan nya ang kanyang tauhan na magpatuloy. "Continue" Malamig nyang saad habang nakaupo sa trono na patunay na sya ang hari ng Mafia World.

Pero ganon na lang ang gulat nila biglang may bumaril ng bay window ng kwartong kinarorooan nila at pumasok ang isang babae at nagpagulong gulong sa sahig bago itinuon ang isang kamay sa sahig at binaril sa ulo ang lalaking lumalatigo kay Maximilian.

"Ivy..." Malamig na bulaslas ni Ivan na tila sinusuri ang pagbabago ng kanyang anak. Nakasuot si Ivy ng black sports bra na pinatungan ng black leather jacket at black leather pants na tinernuhan ng medium boots. Malamig na itinutok ni Ivy ang baril sa direksyon ng kanyang ama habang pumupunta ng dahan dahan sa direksyon ni Maximilian at pinoprotektahan sya.

Ivan's POV

"Hi Dad" malamig at walang buhay nyang sabi habang nakatutok parin sakin ang baril. She changed.

[Flashback]

"Kill that thing, Ivy" Malamig kong sabi habang tinitingnan sya mata sa mata.

"Why are you pitying it?" Malamig kong usal habang pinapanood syang umiiyak habang yakap yakap ang rabbit na dapat gagamitin sa training nya.

Lalo syang umiyak at sinabing..."It's alive, Dad *hik!*" Nagpupunas luha nyang tugon habang lalong niyayakap ang rabbit gamit ang maliliit nyang kamay.

She's already 12 years old at hindi parin sya maalam humawak ng baril, ni simpleng pagpapana sa rabbit hindi nya magawa dahil naaawa sya. Kadalasan sa clan namin 9 to 10 years old dapat maalam na humawak ng baril pero naghehesitate si Ivy, kung hindi nya mabaril 'tong rabbit pano pa kaya ang tao?

I spoil her too much.

Lalo kong nilamigan ang tingin sa kanya pero hindi sya nagpatinag. "I-It's innocent, I can't kill this innocent living thing.." Dagdag pa nya habang hinihimas ang ulo nito.

"KYAAA!!" Napatingin ako sa direkyon ni Eivan ng may maliit na panang tumusok sa ulo ng rabbit na hawak hawak ni Ivy sa dibdib nya, nanggaling ang enerhiya ng pana sa direksyon nya, nakangiti sya habang may hawak hawak na sandamakmak ng rabbit sa kamay na mukhang pinana nya lahat, pakinig ko ang lalong paghangunggol ni Ivy sa iyak dahil sa ginawa ni Eivan.

"Since you can't kill it, I will kill it for you, Noona" Nakangiting sabi ni Eivan habang sinusubukan lapitan ang ate nya pero nanginig si Ivy habang nakatingin sa duguan nyang bistida, lalong lumakas ang hagunggol nya at dahan dahang syang lumayo tsaka tumakbo paalis ng training ground.

Napalingon ako kay Eivan ng narinig ko syang tumawa. Nakita ko kung paano napalitan ng ngisi ang ngiti ni Eivan habang nakatingin sa direksyon ni Ivy na sinasara ng pabagsak ang pinto ng training ground."What a crybaby, She's no fun," Sabi niya habang dinudurog ang ulo ng patay na kuneho na binitawan ni Ivy. Bumuntong hininga ako at minamasahe ang aking sentido dahil sa inis.

This won't do.

[End of Flashback]

Tiningnan ko ang malamig at walang emosyong mga mata ni Ivy. Bago nilingon ang duguang katawan ni Maximilian na nakatali sa dalawang poste habang nakaluhod at nakayuko, I know that the reason why he joins the organization is because of Ivy, his been sneaking every night to get into Ivy's room, there's no way I won't know that, And I know he's still doing that until now.

I look at the man that Ivy shot. This is her first kill. I never witness her kill an animal or a person before. Tiningnan ko ang berde nyang mga mata na malamig at walang awa o bahid ng pagsisisi sa ginawa nya hindi katulad ng tinuturuan ko sya dating pumatay,

Pinabalik balik ko ang tingin sa kanilang dalawa, Nanatiling nakatutok sakin ang baril ni Ivy na para bang walang balak tanggalin sa direksyon ko ang baril habang unti unting tumutunghay ang ulo ni Maximilian, Ramdam ko ang gulat nya ng makita ang anak ko.

I know Maximilian is a trustworthy person but his loyalty doesn't belong to me... It belongs to Ivy.

He's dangerous, he can surpass me anytime listening to Ivy's command. The reason why I was doing nothing about my daughter's relationship with him is that I know Maximilian can protect her. But he crosses the line... I can't let him stay on Ivy's side.

"And that because..." Tiningnan ko ng malamig si Ivy ng ikasa nya ang baril nya habang nakatutok sakin.

"He becomes Ivy's weakness," I thought as I looked at her emotionless eyes looking at me full of contempt. He was her weakness, and I will remove all the trashes who attempt to make my daughter soft again.
