Mafia Boss Dangerous

Chapter 1

KATHY'S POV

Hi everyone, I'm Kathy Morgan, 20 years old, and currently a scholar at Styles University in Manila. Right now, I'm waiting for a bus to Manila with my mother.

"Are you sure you have to go so far to study? You can still study here in the province," my mother asked.

"Mom, we talked about this last night, didn't we? Besides, Lissana will be there to accompany me. She'll also help me find a job so I'll have some money for my daily expenses. It would be a waste not to grab this opportunity since I was accepted as a scholar at a university there," I explained at length.

"Alright, but take care of yourself over there!" she reminded me.

"Yes, Mom," I answered.

"Please let Dad and Niko know that I've left," I added.

"Okay," she replied.

After boarding the bus to Manila, I bid my mother goodbye. I know it's difficult for her because this is the first time I'll be away from them. But I'm willing to endure the loneliness for their sake.

While traveling, I called my friend Lissana, who's currently in Manila. We grew up together, but she moved to Manila to work. She lives on her own because her parents separated.

"Hello, hon! I'm on my way there," I started.

"Oh, hi hon! Just keep me updated when you arrive in Manila, okay?" she replied.

"Alright, hon," I said.

"I have work, but make sure to update me, and I'll pick you up," she said.

"Okay, I'll hang up now," I said before ending the call.

Since it's still a long ride, I decided to take a nap.

FAST FORWARD

I woke up when someone tapped me gently.

"Miss, we've arrived in Manila," the conductor said.

"Really? Thank you for waking me up," I replied.

"No problem, miss," he responded.

After getting off, I immediately texted Lissana and sat at the waiting shed. While I was on my phone, she called.

"Hello, hon! Where are you?" she asked.

"I'm at the waiting shed," I replied.

"Okay," she answered and ended the call.

A few moments later, someone shouted my name.

"Kathy!!!" a voice called out. When I turned around, it was Lissana.

"Hon! How are you?" I asked.

"I'm good. How was your trip?" she asked.

"It was tiring, and my butt hurts, haha," I answered.

"Haha, come on, let's get you settled in so you can rest," she said.

When we arrived at the apartment we would be sharing, I immediately lay down due to exhaustion. The place had two rooms, and the owner already knew she would have a roommate. While I was resting, Lissana started cooking. When she was done, she called me.

"Hon, come and eat first before you rest," she shouted.

"Okay, I'm coming," I shouted back.

When I arrived at the dining table, I sat down immediately. After we finished eating, it was time for her to go to work.

"Hon, I'll have to leave you alone for now since I have work tonight," she said.

"Are you still working at the bar, hon?" I asked out of curiosity. People say curiosity killed the cat.

"Yes, hon, the pay is good, even though I'm just a waitress," she replied.

"Oh, I see," I said.

"Just be careful there, hon, you know how bars can be," I added.

"I'm always careful, hon," she assured me.

"Sorry for leaving you alone," she said.

"It's okay, hon. I'm fine," I reassured her.

"Alright, take care of yourself. I'll be going now," she said.

"Take care, hon," I said.

After she left, I washed the dishes and went to bed.

LISSANA'S POV

After leaving the dorm, I immediately took a taxi to the bar where I work.

By the way, I'm Lissana Park, 20 years old. I also got a scholarship at Styles University, but I haven't told Kathy yet because I forgot, haha.

When I arrived at Hell Bar, I went straight in and changed into my uniform. As usual, the smell of cigarettes filled the place. After changing, I prepared to serve drinks to customers and noticed some new coworkers. So I approached them.

"Hi, I'm Lissana. Are you new here? I haven't seen you around," I asked.

"Yes, ma'am, we're new here. I'm Mika Dela Cruz, and this is Sunny Vargaz. We're both 19 years old and friends," Mika explained.

"I'm a year older than you, but just call me Lissana," I said and smiled at them.

"Why did you start working here?" I asked.

I was curious because they seemed so young to be working in a bar.

"I need money for my father's hospital bills," Sunny replied.

"I need money for daily expenses here and to support my sibling's education in the province," Mika added.

"We couldn't finish school because we couldn't afford the fees, so we started working. This is the only job we could get because we didn't finish school," Sunny said.
