Chapter 13

When I woke up in the morning I looked at the person next to me and I just smiled. Saint ... the sunlight covers his handsome face so I can't help but marvel at his face. He is really handsome.
I would have stood up when Saint tightened his embrace with me. I looked at him again and sighed, Saint is really clingy if you ask me. Instead of standing up, I just lay down on his bed again and just stared at his handsome face.
"Quit staring, baby ..." I heard him say. I just laughed at what Saint said and at the same time I laughed when he woke up with his eyes.
And there I saw his beautiful red and brown eyes. His eyes were wide and he was obviously just awake.
"Klea?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you like me?" I just turned to Saint, since last night he has repeatedly asked me if I like him. Why is this man's so much art?
"Last night I said that over and over ..." I hid the annoyance in my voice. He sighed and closed his eyes for a little time and opened it again.
"I just can't believe it ... I thought everything was just a dream." He said softly. Am I hearing everything right? I can't just deal with Saint's cuteness.
"Yes, it's all true." He immediately turned to me because of what I said. He sat on the bed while holding her forehead.
"Damn you really sounds so cute when you say po" Iling-iling niyang sabi. I just sat on the bed and couldn't help but laugh at what Saint said.
"Stop acting cute, Saint." I laughed and said, I saw him squeeze her close her eyes.
"Baby, stop ... you're making my heart feel weird." He was almost out of breath as he said that.
"Yes, baby whatever." I teased him.
But I was shocked when he suddenly pushed me horizontally on the bed and cornered me while pinning both of my hands beside my head. He is on top of me, oh my god!
He is smiling a lot at me now as he brings his face closer to mine. I tried my best to keep my eyes open and just stared at his beautiful face.
He smiled at me and applied his lip to mine. My previously awakened eyes immediately closed because of the strange feeling that Saint was making me feel. Saint's kisses went deeper I couldn't help but bite his lowerlip because he was getting too aggressive.
His lips left mine and traveled through my neck. He nipped and nibbled one spot on my neck before he sat down on the bed again. I immediately sat down and caught my breath.
"Should I consider that as a goodmorning kiss?" He smiled and said, I just lay down with him and got up from the bed. He followed me with his gaze and couldn't take the grin off his face.
"What?" I can answer the question.
"Hickey looks good on you." My eyes went round because he said I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom and immediately peeked at my neck. And there I saw a red mark, a freaking kiss mark!
"Saint !!" I shouted in annoyance.
"Hurry up, baby we might get sick!" I heard him shout but the sarcasm in his voice was still obvious.
How do I keep it? I can't wear scarf at school! Very hot. Damn Saint, what else came to your mind?
After getting ready, I went down to the dining hall, it was really good and I knew how to make up and even covered the kiss mark that the animal put on. When I got down I was surprised to see Pierce also sitting at the dining table, did I think he came home last night?
Savienna, on the other hand, was obviously still out of her mind because she was just staring into space and not moving her food. Ate Mary went to work early because there was an emergency.
I saw Saint's simple look at my neck and laughed weakly. Annoying! Whatever really enters his mind! So I hurriedly sat down in my seat and started eating.
"Hellion, Patrick Sudalga is furious. He sent me some threats, last night." I was immediately nervous. What if opponent is Psalm? Was what Mommy told me right? But ... Psalm's kindness feels so real to me.
"What kind of threats?" I heard Saint's serious question.
"He said we better hide because in no time he will attack us." I was even more nervous.
"He can't do that, I will be fighting thirteen mafia bosses later midnight. He can't be risky." Right ... A fight will take place tonight at midnight in the underground. And I can"t help but worry about Saint again.
I know Saint is strong, but with that many mafia bosses? Those mafia bosses are also trained they are not just simple enemies of Saint.
"About that, Manzo is offering for a help." Manzo? Who is Manzo?
"He offered to protect the heiress as well. He said a mansion that you can move to because it's too dangerous if you stay here." I immediately looked up at Saint and saw that he was seriously listening to Pierce.
"Where?" Saint asked.
"In Antique." Antique? Visayas? It was very far then. We are in Cavite, very far from Antique.
"If you move, you will leave Akademi High. And plus, you can't go to school anymore. Many people know that you are at Akademi High. You can consider this as your last week." I was immediately saddened. Maybe I will never really have a happy life.
"I'll accept his offer." Saint's words made my heart sink. Maybe Odette and I won't get along. I only have three days left in Akademi High.
"Antique is far." Pierce said.
"I don't care if we go to another country or another planet. As long as it's keeping my baby safe and away from danger."
No Saint, because no matter what you do, people who want to end up with me will find and still find me.
All day I thought about what Saint said. If we move house, Odette and I will have to greet each other when I leave here. I can't leave without us getting along. But I'm not sure if they'll talk to me ...
I don't know why Savienna did that ... is she disgusted with me? But he did a terrible thing and immediately turned my only friends away from me. Should I be angry at her? But I really feel sorry for her condition now, Mother's visit made her lose her own mind.
I'm afraid that I'll trigger something inside her and be a psycho again. I sighed. Maybe I'll just wait a few more days to talk to Savienna and Odette. Psalm ignored me all day, and I don't even want to discuss anything with him. I don't want to believe that he's the one who wants to end up with me, he's been a great guys and he accompanied me when I'm lonely.
"Hey baby, you're spacing out .." I looked back at Saint who was now frowning and staring at me.
We're here at the library now, it's free time. And this is the first time I"ve been with Saint on campus. It's really good and no one visits the library too much and no one sees us now.
"Sorry, Saint. I am just thinking about something ..." I said softly. He nodded at me and stared at his laptop again.
I looked at my book again and continued what I am reading. But I really couldn"t understand what I was reading because I thought about Saint"s fight again tonight. That made my heart clenched at once. of watering my eyes.
I don't care if I am too emotional but Saint is making me super worried. I just sobbed and I saw Saint immediately lift his head to me and he quickly went to my side.
"What is happening baby? Why are you crying? Did something happen?" He asked confusedly while staring at me, I looked at him and I couldn't stand it anymore and I went closer to him and hugged him very tight.
I know he was surprised by what I did but he immediately hugged me back and caressed my hair.
"What happened huh? Why did you suddenly cry?" Saint asked me.
"I'm worried about you Saint ... what if something happens to you later? I don't want you gone Saint .." I said between my sobs. He chuckled a bit.
"Don't worry baby, your Saint is stronger than them. I'll comeback without a single scratch on my body." Tss. He is so self-assured!
"You don't know Saint, they are all 13. They are also trained like you, they are also a mafia boss like you ... many lose to the strong Saint." I said worriedly. Saint just smiled at me and kissed my forehead.
"Please Saint ... be safe. I can come with you ..." I suggested he immediately let go of my hug and looked straight at me.
"The organization don't know my face Saint ..." I said. That's right, all I know is that they haven't really seen me yet except maybe the people who want to end up with me have a hint of what I look like.
"No, baby you can't. I won't allow you." He said sternly.
"I want to make sure you're okay Saint. I want to be with you, I want to see yoy fighting them ..." I insisted, Saint shut his eye hard and looked at me again with his unseen eyes.
"No, Klea. It's my duty to protect you and if I include you it's like I am already giving you up with those mafias." I was immediately shaken.
"What your thinking is so wrong Saint. I am not there to fight, I am there to be with you. I just want to see if you are really capable of protecting me ... because if not ... ㅡ" I paused . His eyebrows shot up as I stopped what I was about to say.
"If not?" He traced. Should I say it? But he might be angry with me and even more so he won't let me. But ... I can't lie! Not infront of Saint!
I sighed. "If not ... I'll join the underground school just to help you ..." I saw how his eyes went blank, as in no emotion at all. He looked at me with those eyes and I was immediately nervous.
"I won't let you do that." He said promptly.
"But why? Because I don't have the talent or the skills? Am I not capable of protecting myself?" Why is he doing this to me? I am just doing this to protect myself! So that I could help him in some time! But he still doesn't seem to want me to help him ...
"You have the skills and the talent of being a mafia, Klea. But I can't allow you to become like that, I can't let you kill." Kill. Is it that really bad? But why does he do that? If it's bad then nobody should do that, then no one has the right to kill.
"Please Klea, please understand your situation. If the mafia bosses find out about you entering in underground school then all of my sacrifices just protect you will be all useless." He has a point.
"But I can't just watch you fighting for my own life! That is my life, I should be the one fighting for it."
"You really want to go?" He asked and I nodded.
"Then I'll be the one to teach you."
When night came I still couldn't believe what Saint said earlier in the library. He will teach me? Ate Mary also mentioned to me before that Saint was one of the teachers in the underground school. He said he was usually seen in the underground school because he was showing up in the last stage.
It's almost 11PM and I'm more nervous. I'm already here in Saint's room because he told me to go to sleep and he told me not to worry because when I woke up he was next to me. But I shouldn't be complacent ... it's still dangerous for him even though Pierce is with him.
I heard some knocking on the door so I got up and opened the door. Savienna's face immediately met mine. What is she doing here?
"Sab ... I badly want to help Saint but I can't." My forehead immediately frowned at what Savienna said so I went out of Saint's room and closed the door.
"What do you mean Sav?" She sighed and looked around as if she was making sure no one could hear us.
"Patrick Sudalga planned this all. By the time Saint arrives at the ring of fire they will rush in with a weapon." What? That's unfair! To Saint's knowledge hand combat will take place.
"How did you know that?" I asked her sharply, one thing I've learned about Savienna is never trust her words. Never.
"I sneaked in there yesterday, and I heard what they were talking about. Mommy is there too, she also wants Saint to disappear so they can get you and the treasure you hold." Is this really the truth? But what if she's just deceiving me?
"I don't believe you, you are Mom's ally and I know that. You can't stand me Savienna." I told her hard, she just frowned at me.
"Trust me when I say this, Hellion won't be back after tonight." That was the last thing he said before he left me and went inside my room. Exactly I saw Saint walking closer to where I was standing.
He is now wearing a long leather coat and gloves, he is holding some brief case. I looked at him and I saw his different colored beautiful eyes, staring at me like I am a goddess.
When he got close to me he immediately hugged me tightly. He kissed my forehead mutiple times before looking at me again and smiled.
"I promise I will be back. And I'll bring you your favorite food." She said smiling. I was reassured by what Saint said, he will be back. He will.
"Saint ... please be safe .." I said softly enough for him to hear. He nodded at me and caressed my face gently.
"I will comeback for you, my love." He assured me again. I nodded at him and at the same time my tears fell. I cried so hard like there was no tomorrow and Saint was just their to comfort me.
I was still crying and I just felt Saint lift my face. And I already know what will happen next, he assured his promise with his kiss. He kissed me with full of love.
I heard his brief case fall and he grabbed both my shoulders and deepened the kiss. When we parted we chased after our breath, but Saint stayed his forehead on my forehead.
"When I come back please welcome me with your loving arms .." He said and winked at me. I just laughed at what he said. He pinched my nose and chuckled.
Saint was separated from me when he heard the sound of a chopper. Will the chopper pick him up?
"Come with me on the rooftop, I want to see your face before I leave." I nodded at what Saint said and followed his walk towards the rooftop.
When we climbed to the rooftop the cold air greeted me. The wind blew the chopper in front of us.
Saint walked closer to the chopper and I felt the warmth of both sides of my eyes again. Why am I being so emotional? Saint will comeback for sure why am I crying again?
"Baby?" He stopped.
"Hmm?"
"When I turn around I want to see your smile, I don't want to see you crying." I immediately wiped away my tears because of what Saint said.
And as if in slow motion, he turned to me, I showed my very best smile to him and he smiled at me too.
"I love you, Sabrina. I will comeback, I promise." That was the last thing he said before he boarded the chopper and flew into the air.
I love you too, Saint ... And I will wait for you.

When the chopper Saint was riding in left I immediately wiped the tears from my eyes and went back inside Saint's mansion. When I got down I saw Ate Mary staring seriously at the absence of the culprit. Without making a sound I approached him and sat down next to him.
She looked at me and I could clearly see the concern on her face. She is also worried for Saint, I know that everywhere you look, Saint's life is really in danger.
"Sab..I'm worried for Saint. I know he is capable of what he's doing but ... he has so many opponents .." Ate Mary said gently.
"I'm worried for Saint too, Ate. I know he's strong, but ... with the number of his opponents?" I said nervously, I heard Ate Mary sobbing so I immediately hugged her.
This is the first time I saw Ate Mary broke down. She is usually so cheerful and always makes the people around her smile.
"I don't want to be angry with you Sabrina, but I can't help but think that because of you Saint will be ruined ... just to save you ..." I couldn't move what Ate Mary said, she let go of my hug and looked straight at me.
"You are like a family to me, but I can't afford to lose Saint, Sabrina. She. That's all I have left ..." She said while continued crying. I couldn"t answer, I didn"t know what to answer.
A big part of her words are telling the truth, but it's not right for her to blame me for what Saint did. I didn't force him to go in that battle. I even suggested to come with him, but he didn't agree. That's his choice. Not mine.
"Trust me Ate Mary, Saint will be safe. He told me he would come back, and Saint never broke any promises that he ever made to me. Not even once." I said. Sister Mary smiled wryly at me and nodded.
Ate Mary got up and said goodbye and went into her room. I stayed in the living room first and took a deep breath. I didn't realize that I was drowsy and I just decided to sleep in the living room ..
-
The next day I just woke up in my room lying down. My room? I looked around and saw Savienna just staring at me.
"Savienna? Why are you here?" I asked her.
"Sab, please don't go outside. Just pretend you're still asleep." My forehead immediately frowned at what Savienna had said.
"Ha why?"
"Just don't please." I felt a gradual tremor in my chest. Why doesn't he want to let me go? I stepped closer to the door and Savienna immediately stopped me.
What is happening? "Let me out, Savienna." I said gently.
"No, Sat. Don't yell please, I don't want to hurt you ..." Hurt? Why? What is there outside? Are we being ambushed?
"Let me out Savienna!" I shout. He tightened his grip on my shoulder and shook me a few more times.
"What! Why are you doing this ?!" I couldn't stand it anymore and I raised my voice to him. He took a deep breath and looked at me.
"It's for you too, you don't like what's outside." He said softly, I knew Savienna could hit me at any time but I didn't think twice and I immediately pushed her away from where I was going.
When he lost his balance I immediately ran outside and I heard a few voices from below.
"I swear Sudalga Miss Lacsamana is not here, as far as I know Hellion has already taken her somewhere." I heard Pierce. Sudalga? Is he here? Why?
"I will not believe your words Ignatius. Give me the heiress, I won remember?" He won? If so ... oh my god. Saint!
Unbeknownst to me, I was already downstairs and I could clearly see Pierce and an old man talking in the living room. They looked at my behavior and I saw the masculinity of Pierce's eyes.
"Where's Saint?" I asked them an open question. No one answered them so tears immediately rolled down the corner of my eye.
"Pierce? Where's Saint? Is he home?" I asked him while tears flowing from my eyes. Pierce took a deep breath and looked at Sudalga and whispered something to him. The old man nodded and looked at me as well.
Pierce walked over to me. "I'm sorry Sabrina ..." My knees immediately weakened. No ... No ... It can't be.
"Hellion couldn't handle the crowd last night, they are armored and they have guns with them. I want to help him, I badly want to help him but he said he can do it. For you." My chest clenched at what Pierce said, I just sobbed at what Pierce said.
"He didn't think they had a weapon. But Hellion was still brave and he fought back, he got shot. Ten times." I was devastated by what I heard, is it a dream? Let me wake up please. Please ... wake me up ... Saint is strong he can't be gone.
"His body can't take the damage, so he collapsed. He was treated by doctors who were underground. But ..." No! NO! Saint why did you do this? Did I think I would still teach myself? You promised me you'll come back! You promised me!
"Saint is gone, Sabrina ... his body will come after an hour." I was shaken and walked backwards. No. I won't ever believe it, he said he will comeback he promised me! He won't leave me like this.
"Not Pierce, he said he'll be back. We're even moving to Antique right? We'll do a lot of beautiful things in the future, he can't be gone this early. Please, Pierce tell me this is just a prank. .. "I plead with Pierce. He just looked away from me.
"I'm sorry, Sabrina. But, Saint is really gone."
All day I had no appetite. I didn"t go in and just stayed inside Saint"s room all day. I just cried when I smelled the scent of Saint's room again. It Saint's scent. It hurts to think that because of me his life ended. That should be me, right? If he hadn't just protected me ... that wouldn't have happened to him.
I heard a series of voices on my cellphone so I stared at it and slowly got out of bed. I checked my phone and I was surprised at what I saw.
Odette: Hey, Danica. I'm sorry, your twin already apologized to us and explained everything. I'm sorry for the harsh words Danica, or should I call you Sabrina? I'm sorry for your loss.
Eren: Hey, Danica. I'm sorry for what happened in the past, I understand now. I hope you will forgive me, I also want to go back to your mansion hehehe. : D
Cassidy: I ​​heard what happened. I'm sorry for your loss, all of us at the Journalism Club are just here for you.
Stan: Huhuhu. Danica or Sabrina I really have nothing to do, I just sided with Odette and I'm sorry for what I said. Comeback to us please.
At least I was a little relieved, Savienna explained to them? Then they already know me and who Saint is? I sighed. I should thank Savienna later. I was about to put my cellphone back on the bed table when it rang again.
Psalm: I'm really sorry Sabrina, I didn't know Dad had this plan. All I knew is he wanted to take the heiress I didn"t know it would take like this. And your twin ... she already explained to me. I just can't believe it, why you didn't tell me earlier? If you had said that I could have stopped Dad. And I really want to get rid of Hellion in the first place, but not in the way he wants ... please forgive me Sabrina. I still like you very much, and I will never give up on you.
I rested deeply, I need to have a closure to them. I'm leaving within two days, and I can't leave them without saying anything. Even if I don"t want to go out here in the mansion it"s still necessary.
To: Odette, Eren, Cassidy, Stan & Psalm
Let's meet. Scentea, tomorrow. 1PM.
They all immediately agreed with what I said. I took a deep breath and went back to lying on the bed until drowsiness visited me.
'Hey baby, as I promise .. I'm back.' I looked at Saint's face and I couldn't help but smile again.
'Where are you from? Do you know what you did to me? Saint ... 'I almost shouted at him while punching his chest lightly. He caressed my face and stared at me for a while.
'I missed you, Klea.' He smiled and said, damn. I miss that smile Saint ...
'I was so worried about you ...' I said almost in a whisper, he smiled at me and brought his face closer to mine.
And our lips locked in. But before I can even respond everything turned pitch black. But I knew I was just dilated, I felt Saint and I grew cold when I felt that he was no longer beside me. Where is he?
Suddenly everything lit up and I was amazed at what I saw. It was Saint, in the ring of fire. He was lying there and bathed in his own blood, I looked around and everyone in the area was cheering.
'Finish him! You are the Lacsamana Heiress who can finish Santillana's Empire! '
I looked at my hand and immediately trembled. W-why a-am I h-holding a gun? No ... No this can't be. I will not kill Saint! No! Never.
'Lacsamana Heiress! Kill the Santillana! ' I was shaken.
'no ... no ... ayoko! I will not kill! ' I said tearfully.
'Baby ... why? why did you do this? '
"NO, SAINT! I DIDN'T DO IT." I get up and catch my breath. I looked around and noticed it was night.
All of it was just a dream? The scenes are so vivid. It feels so real. I heard a few knocks on Saint's door. I stood up and looked at the monitor to see who it was.
Savienna. "Hey Sab, it's me. You ate dinner ... your favorite foods have been served ..."
I sighed. "I'll be there."
To be continued...
