C6 Mistake

A lot has changed. I followed Don Cleo's commands. What happened to Diego and me became a secret. Because I feel, in this situation, we have nothing to hide.

My father was brutal. He killed some foreign drug dealers. Every night when I wake up thirsty I see them coming home with wounds. I rarely see Diego with a wound.

If it's just the two of us, we become warm to each other. I tried to ignore it, okay? I tried to act cool and it was like nothing for me but I know my insides were melting.

I also became more careful with my actions. We've been invited on some occasions. And we will inevitably meet someone.

Dan Geigo Maxima, as the third Mafia Leader will inevitably attract the attention of women.

He's the type that girls will adore and make satisfied just to be with him for one night.

I also admit, that even I like him too. Who wouldn't be obsessed with a Dan Geigo?

But that doesn't mean I will be anyone's slave. In the past week, I have also been secretly receiving a letter from Papa. I want to talk to him. There are things I want to know. If everything that Don Cleo tells me true? or maybe I'm one of their bait?

Now I'm being more careful. I don't believe anything. I also know that Dad will not hurt me.

"Bye Felix! Thanks for the food." I said when we finished our lunch. The same place.

His eyes were scrutinizing me. "Where are you going again?"

I stopped at his question.

I didn't show that I was surprised. He is a mafia, so everyone can feel it.

I smirked. "Don't you dare tell about it, Don Cleo?"

"Why would I? We're not close."

All right. I pouted. In the past week, Felix and I have gotten better. He's been caring and thoughtful. Despite his cold personality, he becomes soft towards me. I'm also not used to not being together every day.

He's a good friend. The only one I can tell my problems to.

Felix couldn't take me to the gate because someone at the faculty called him. I'm nervous about what I'm going to do...I know, that Don Cleo is secretly following me.

While in the alley, I had second thoughts. I looked around carefully. I didn't make a mistake. I pretend to fix my bag and pretend to go back inside. I ran as fast as I could.

Our school had a back gate and I went out there. I immediately took my cell phone from my bag and dialed my father's number.

"Papa," I was catching some air. "I'm at the back gate," I said as soon as he answered my call.

"Alright, hija. I'm on my way."

I bit my lip and put the cell phone in my bag. When I was about to look who was coming my eyes widened.

"D-Diego?" he hurriedly scooped me from where I was standing and I heard gunshots one after another. I stopped and looked at where I came from!

If Diego hadn't picked me up I would probably...probably I would be bleeding..or dead!

I shivered.

"Fuck!" Diego cursed and quickly put me in his car and went inside. That's when I saw that he was wounded!

"Y-You're bleeding!" I stammered. Shit. I facepalmed.

Diego didn't answer. His car sped away from there and missed the shot.

I was shaking with suddenness and fear. His white shirt was already filled with blood.

I swallowed. I'm afraid to touch him. Even he doesn't speak either.

"W-What h-happened?" my voice shaking.

"Ask yourself, Bloom. I told you before not to talk to your father. Shit!" he touched his wound again.

I swallowed. Who shot me? Dad?

When he got to the mansion, Diego was the first to come out. Some people wanted to approach him because of the wound they saw but he warned them.

I quickly followed him. When I entered, I was greeted by a few of Don Cleo's men.

I got nervous. Don Cleo came down the stairs and Diego said something to him but he ignored him and went straight to me.

Little did I know that a strong slap was about to greet me.

"You traitor!!" Don Cleo thundered.

Diego cursed and immediately took his place in front of me, protecting me. My tears flowed from the pain in my cheeks.

"You!!" he pointed to Diego, Diego who gave Don Cleo a look as cold as the night. "Do not defend this traitor! She needs to be taught a lesson! If you hadn't come, he wouldn't have been shot by my men!"

My eyes widened! What?! What?!

"Y-You ordered to kill me?!" I asked in disbelief. My life is falling apart. I feel like I can't trust anyone. I feel like I'm not safe anywhere!

Even here! Even here to people who say I'm their family!

"Yes! You deserved it! All traitors must be tortured! Even if you are my daughter!"

"You crazy! You know what? No matter what you do to me to win my heart...I'll still hate you!"

"What?!" I closed my eyes again because he raised his palm to slap me when Diego intervened and Don Cleo's palm slapped his face.

My lips parted. Even Don Cleo paled at what had been done.

On the other hand, Diego just darkly looked at me.

"Are you okay?" he asked. I shook my head and stared at his red cheeks and his wound.

Why would he ask me that?

"One more mistake Mystique. One more mistake and I won't think twice!" Don Cleo warned before he left our presence. His men followed him.
