The Lady of the Mafia

Leona's Disappearance

Leona continued to gallop following Zean's footprints. The woman grew even more frightened when she heard such a terrible gunshot. He was worried about Aleo and Kwan.

The forest was very quiet and cold. Sometimes the sound of forest animals is so scary. The road they were walking on was also a road filled with thick grass. Their visibility was blocked by the lush grass. There was only moonlight that pierced through the trees to make a beam of bright light.

Leona was very tired. He has gone too far running. Although all this time he really likes to run, but running with strangers like Zean makes his heart beat can not calm down. Even his breathing was tight and difficult to manage.

Zean took Leona running as far as possible so as not to be reached by Lily and the others. The man does not want to constantly fail.

Until a few moments later. Leona stopped her footsteps. The woman looked at Zean's face intently.

"Zean, what about Aleo and Kwan? I don't want to leave them. I want to be with them." It was clear Leona's worried face that night. Both of his eyes looked teary. His lips trembled with sadness and fear.

Zean also stopped his footsteps. The man twisted his body then looked at Leona's face with a confused face.

"Leona, we can't go back. Those bad guys are after you" Zean said with a serious face.

Leona frowned. "Zean, aren't you in the hospital? Why is it here now?" leona asked with a suspicious face.

Zean looks very calm. The man held Leona's two hands with a very convincing face. "Because of you, Leona. I had a bad feeling when Lily met me earlier in the hospital."

Leona recalled the face of the woman who had pulled her hand. The woman was the same woman he had met in the hospital.

"He's Lily. The woman who leads the Mexican territory. I don't know what his purpose is to harm you. He came to see me and asked me to harm you, Leona. I don't want to do that. Lily threatened. After he left, I tried to escape from the hospital and look for your whereabouts" Kwan said with an earnest face.

Leona was stunned when she heard the explanation given by Zean. "We don't know each other. Why did you sacrifice your life like this?"

Zean pulled Leona's hand before gently rubbing it. The man also landed a kiss on the back of Leona's hand. "I love you, Leona."

Leona was aghast in shock when she heard the sentence that Zean had just spoken. This was the first time that Leona had a man openly professed his love. There have been many men who have been trying to get close to Leona. However, since there is a Kwan on Leona's side. Those men no one dared to get any closer to Leona.

"I'm sorry, but I-"

"I'm not asking you to accept my love, Leona. I just want you to know that I've been in love since I first saw you. I realized we were from a different class. A rich woman like yourself would never want to be close to a street man like me. But, there's one thing you should know, Leona. I will sacrifice my whole life just to protect your life. Your life is my life. It will be like that forever."

Leona is back. The woman did not know what to say anymore. Ever since she first saw Zean, Leona had been at ease. The woman feels that she is also in love with Zean. He was still hesitant to admit it.

"I can't think of anything else right now. I'm so worried about Brother Aleo and Kwan." Leona looked down with a sad face.

Zean carved a small smile. "Don't worry. I'll help you meet them again. For now, we'd better find a safe place first."

Leona nodded slowly. Now that is in his heart. He wanted to find a safe place before calling Serena and Daniel in Sapporo. There was nothing else he could trust and he asked for help other than his parents. Although now Zean looks good and can be trusted.

Sapporo.

"What do you mean, Biao?" daniel said with a serious face.

Serena, who was sitting on a sofa, looked at Daniel with a worried face. Daniel's expression was very suspicious. In addition, from the beginning of the conversation Daniel and Biao on the phone discussed the problem of Mexico.

"alright. I'll be there soon" Daniel said before disconnecting his phone call.

"What's up, Daniel?" Serena moved from her seat. The woman walked closer to the position where Daniel was standing.

"Dear, bad news." Daniel held Serena's hand. The man looked at his wife with a meaningful look. "I lost contact with the S. G. guards. Groups in Mexico. Biao and his team had just arrived there. But, they could not find any news about Aleo, Leona and Kwan. Their phones are dead." Daniel tried to convey the news carefully. He did not want Serena to be thoughtful and fall ill again.

"Do Kenzo and Shabira know about this?" Serena is still putting on her face as calmly as possible even though she has not heard from her two twins.

"They're on their way here" replied Daniel quietly.

Serena breathed. "We have to pick them up to Mexico."

Daniel nodded in agreement. "Yes, I've prepared a plane to go to Mexico."

"Daniel, I'm afraid that what I've been worrying about has become real" Serena said with a sad face.

"Darling, everything will be fine. Even though our age is like now. But we can still fight and shoot. We will always protect our family. Trust me. Everything's gonna be okay."

Daniel pulls Serena's body into his arms. The man gently rubbed Serena's back and kissed the woman's face repeatedly.

"Daniel, we should have told Aleo and Leona everything. They must understand our past." Serena tightened her embrace.

"If the time comes. We'll tell you everything."

"I'm afraid they know from others and can't accept my past" Serena said with a sad face.

"They love you very much, Serena. They won't hate you" Daniel replied.

Serena simply closed her eyes while arranging for her mind to calm down again.

"I've been through it long enough. But, the past just happened last night. The smell of blood constantly disturbed my smell. Even the sound of gunfire and explosions was also felt burrowing in my ears" Serena murmured inwardly.
