EPISODE 2
?CORA ?
” Red Rose”
” Red Rose ”
” Red Rose ! ”
The crowd chanted as I stared at my opponent in the ring .
Drops of sweat rolling down from my face into my top .
I wiped the blood on the corner of my lips and threw a punch at the Girl as she staggered and tried to gain her balance,I took her unaware punching the living day lights out of her .
She groaned in pain as she fell to the floor . I heard the crowd raw in excitement and they separated us right in time before I smashed life out of her .
” That’s enough …” I felt a male hand pull me away immediately.
” Control yourself Corazon ” he whispered as I glared daggers at him .
” Get out of the ring ” he said and I took a deep breath in and out then moved out of the ring .
He walked with me as the crowd roared crazily ,we moved out of the illegal fighters Den .
“Corazon ….” He trailed and I turned immediately.
” It’s Cora , I hope I don’t have to repeat myself Crisanto ,you should be careful with the way you jump into the ring during my fights ” I warned angrily and he rubbed his neck .
” Learn to control yourself Cora …with the way you’re going …papatay ka ng tao kapag nagpatuloy ka sa ganito [ you’re going to ki|| ] he spat in Filipino.
” Ingatan mo ang bibig mo habang kausap ako Crisanto [ watch your mouth ]
I spat and he raised both hands in surrender.
” I’m just watching out for you …” He trailed and I looked away as I threw my boxing gloves at the opposite side .
” Tell me about my schedule ” I said and he raised his eyebrows.
” I thought ,you would get some rest just as ma’am Dolores …” He trailed and shut up immediately when he noticed my icy look .
” Understood ” he said and I looked away as I strolled towards my Car .
He got in and I gave a nod as my driver …moved towards my Estate ,I leaned on the Car seat as I closed my eyes .
Bl***d
Screams and Tears was all I saw ,as it flash in front of me over and over again .
I rubbed my arms as I tried to control my Emotions ,I saw my opponent back in the ring and how I had left her in a near death experience.
I’m evil ….
I’m not a good person ,that’s all I’ve ever done in my life ,leave people in near death experiences ” I thought as I chuckled bitterly.
No matter how I try to hide who I am and blend into a normal life ,my past always comes knocking.
Crime always seeks my attention and I end up getting my hands more dirty than they already are that’s what’s keeping me from having a normal life .
I’ve ki||ed a lot of people , the bad …the good …” I thought as my heart squeezed in hurt .
” Are you okay Ma’am ? Crisanto asked and I ignored him throughout the ride to my Estate .
I moved up to goom immediately I got into the mansion and as I got under the shower .
I stripped off from my clothes and watched as the cold water Hit my skin …
Rolling down to my bare Břě@šť …down to the Scars on my stomach then my hips and a feeling of disgust filled me as memories of that night clouded my thoughts.
” Let me go ….please ….let me go !
” Shut up your mouth you dirty slvt . I’ve had enough of you and your Smart little mouth ” he screamed and slapped my Cheeks hard .
I staggered in fear as I fell to the ground , I moved backwards Which made my silk skirt roll upwards , exposing my Skin .
I cried in disgust at the dirty look he threw in my direction.
This was an older man ,my own Aunt’s husband , someone that was supposed to protect me .
He’s always been a drunking bastard ,but I was young …young enough to be his own daughter.
” I’d be a good girl if I where you Nicole ” he called my birth name as he laughed a Sinister laugh he bent to my level and trailed his dirty fingers on my skin.
” Please …..don’t do this ….” I pleaded as I shook in fear and he tore my dress .
I didn’t give up as I screamed at the top of my voice ,cry and trash trying to escape the beast who had me beneath him .
I cried for my mom … pleading for just anyone to rescue me from the grip of this animal .
He knew I was stubborn …he knew I had a fighting spirit and to get to me he needed to break that spirit .
I felt him k*ck punch and I couldn’t hear my own screams anymore as I fought for freedom .
” Please. ..” I mouthed as I felt a sharp pain over and over again on my Stomach down my hips and I felt the liquid roll down from the burns and that’s when I knew he had
Placed a scar on me .
I lay lifeless as I watched him use me for his pleasure , my mom wasn’t there to save me because she’d told me to run away from home …
Away from my father ….”I thought as I bit my lower lip .
Corazon Nicole Bermundo I’ve always been a mystery to all those who knew me and a nightmare to my Enemies .
I’ve been on the run for years not until the De Luca’s brought an end to my father’s Empire and In Exchange for freedom , I Swore an Oath to protect the mafia .
I signed a Contract With The Don of the Italian Mafia And I’ve been in the business doing the dirty work for years now .
While he helped me trace the one man whom I want to bring to justice .
The man who ruined my life and everything that ever made me happy .
Mikoy Reyes , he was a self consceding B*stard who cared about no one other than himself.
A drug Dealer ,a serial ki||er and a gambler …aside from the ba`stard that he has always been ,I knew he had his hands involved in something even bigger right from time .
It all started when my mom worked for Mr Bermundo who at that time was already married with two sons .
Salvardo and Kelvin Bermundo .
Although my father was known for his dirty and sinful Deeds , he was a good man who just didn’t do things right .
One of those things was when he tried to trick the De Luca’s with a deal that could bring an end to them .
The worse thing was he had those deals on papers .
I was a product of my mother’s love affair with Mr Bermundo and when his wife found out about me and her husband’s love for me , she planned for me to be ki||ed.
So my mom sent me away to her sister and right before I left , my Dad gave me the files which he told me will protect me some day .
His son Salvador ki||ed my mom alongside our Father in his quest to become Don .
But he needed those papers , and because of those papers I had to be on the run .
Moving to my aunt’s place was the worse thing to have happened to me ,she was a Vunerable and submissive Wife who had me die in the hands of her abusive husband.
She knew everything Mikoy did to me and never spoke up , all the did was take me to the hospital and promise me safety which she never provided .
I clenched my fists as the thoughts filled my mind .
Trusting people has always been hard for me because each time I did ,it left me broken beyond repair.
I had to run away …it hurt but I did ,I began to fend for myself ,I saw myself through school and graduated with a Business degree .
I changed my name from Corazon to Cora and I stopped using my surname and maiden name Nicole .
I met my bestfriend Bella and when she got involved with Kristov things started getting out of hand especially when I found out his involvement with the mafia .
The De Luca’s won over my evil step Brothers and they where ki||ed ,I handed the files over to the De Luca’s and although no one knows.
The Don Massimo changed the Deal . Since my Father’s Sister Dolores now handles the business ,I’m his eyes in the Familia .
Dolores of course doesn’t want to see me with her eyes , considering the fact that she See’s as an illegitimate Daughter of the family and the cause of Her nephews death .
As I wrapped a towel around my waist and got out of the water ,I changed into Formal wears and light make up .
My phone rang immediately with a private number. I smirked as I picked it up .
Only one person calls with a private number and who else would it be if not the Don .
” Don ” I said immediately I picked up .
” Where are you ? Newyork or the Philippines ? He asked and I bit my lower lip.
There’s a job again ,I knew it from the way he sounded .
A job meant going to Italy and Going to Italy means living in the De Luca estate .
And living in the De Luca estate meant seeing the one person I don’t want to be entaggled with.
The one man whom I’ve hurt over and over again .
Dylan De Luca .
I rubbed my forehead as my mind drifted to the last time I saw him .
In Emelio’s Wedding with his Fiancee and their kid , I had gone to the wedding because I had a business meeting to attend in Sicily later .
I was happy for him ,happy he had moved on with Ivy …
That was something I would never be able to give him .
True happiness …after everything Mikoy did to me ,the nurses confirmed I will never birth a child .
And with my life signed over to the mafia , my many secrets and dirty past .
I didn’t wanna complicate his life more than it already was .
I’m not someone he should want ,and I’m not supposed to want happiness .
I’ve forgotten how to be happy,I’m just patiently waiting for the day I die serving.
And Dylan shouldn’t be with a woman who has no freedom .
Ivy has that freedom which I can never give him .
I’m not heartless ..I’m not a bad Person . I’ve just learned not to be selfish and use my heart less .
If pushing him away would make him make him move on and live happily ,then so be it .
” Corazon ” I had the Don call .
” Don” I answered as he dropped my line of work this time around.
