Chapter 3: What the?! Xavier's Audrey must have to feel bad about her situation. Things have gotten super fast on her side, pero hindi ko makukuha gusto ko kung walang sacrifices. pero bakit ako magsasacrifice kung pwedeng ibang tao ang mag sacrifice? Too bad, she's the sacrificial lamb. "All I need to do is manipulate her." "Explain everything, why me?!" For a brief moment there, i was a bit impressed. Where the f**k is she getting the guts to shout at me?! "Ayoko." I decide on what to do, don't you dare act up, The little you know the safer our plan will be. Merselus Gang's fall is just a stepping stone to the top and I have to ensure everything will be fine 'till then. "I demand an explanation, Mr. Park!" I have to admit that I am having this thought that dealing with this girl will be harder than I thought. Akala ko mananahimik lang siya at susundin lahat ng iutos ko pero hindi. She's a bit unusual from any usual girl I've come across with. She's looking at me straight, halatang may takot sa boses niya but her eyes tells no fear. It's as if, she already battled up her strength to raise her voice. "Woah" the gang chorused with amusement on their faces. Una silang tumingin kay Audrey at pabalik pabalik sa akin yung mga tingin nila, telling me "What now, Xaviere?" I don't like talking— "Okay, Mrs. Park, listen and analyze the situation you are in. If you get through with the realization that you are now married to a multi-billionaire gangster, which was supposedly your first idea the moment you get in this oasis—his mansion, his territory, then you must know. Whether you like it or not, once you get in here or in his life or in this world we have here. There's no going back to your normal and boring life. Enjoy! Kampay!" As witty as ever. Suho explained after that he raised his glass, and in sync the whole gang raises their's. Habang si Audrey, halata sa mukha niyang hindi niya pa rin tanggap ang mga nangyayare, looking at me with trembling shoulders. This gang I formed, was not just formed out of fear and greed for money. We formed this brotherhood to make our way on the top. The gang is composed of hundreds and counting of men and these eleven people here with me are the toughest of them all. We are formed through various reasons yet we all agreed to avenge and to be a pawn. Because we all know, that as soon as we gain consciousness, we are living a different world from ordinary people. We are all born and raised to struggle to the top, not just through wits and hard work but through dirtying our own hands. We learned to give up trying to live a normal life through a very yong age, as cruel as it is we can't afford to become preys of this world. We refuse to be the one getting hunted down. In this clan I have, I have to make it on top to bear all of these men's dreams. I have to be this clan's mafia boss. "Woah!! what's the meaning of this Mr. Park?!" Pagbibiro ni Chen sabay tayo at "We demand an explanation!" dagdag pa niya while crossing hir arms in fornt of his chest--imitating a girl, at nag tawanana naman silang lahat maliban kay Audrey na hindi pa rin makapagsalita. I cleared my throat, senyales na magsasalita na ako regarding with the order kaya ko sila pinapunta dito. Hindi ko sila pinapunta dito para lang sa ganitong bagay. "Pero pag siya sagot ka agad." Aniya na pabulong pero hindi 'yon nakaligtas sa pandinig ko and I shot him a glare. Tinaas naman nito ang dalawang kamay sa ere and he mouthed "Okay" Nang marealized ni Chen na seryoso at hindi ako nakikipag biruan, ay agad na siyang umupo na parang walang nangyari kanina. "Back to the topic" Kris said, shifting their eyes on me. "So, anong plano?" Tanong ni Suho, na mukhanga kanina niya pa gustong itanong. "Ohh! finally some f*****g action! I was about to get bored! f*****g merselus!" Tao irritably said. "Oh please, ikaw nga tong pumatol agad sa provocations nila." Sagot ni Xiumin, the witty one. Tao almost got choked ng marinig niyang tama si Xiumin. "Well, nevertheless Tao is right, things are getting way out of hand kung hindi pa natin papatulan yung merselus...we should f*****g end them." Pagsang ayon ni Kris dahilan para tingnan siya ni Xiumin ng nakataas ng kilay. "Isa pa tong kapreng 'to! aren't you guys considering the odds? what if may backer sila? and their just actually waiting for us to bite the bait?!" Xiumin said. "Aminin niyo, we just got lucky sa wedding ni Xaviere. Xaviere took an unexpected move kaya wala silang nagawa non." Dagdag niya pa, the brief moment of silence passed. A moment where they realized the risk I took, para palitan ang bride ko ng araw na yon. Yeah, one wrong move and all the opposing side of our clan can point fingers and end us all. And when they realized that they were also been deceived--they glared at me. "To think you'd left us all unaware, can't we count it as betrayal?" Baekhyun said while chewing his food. "Hmm, I guess I can't deceive my enemies without deceiving you all in the first place?" Rason ko, and with that they sigh in relief. "Going back with merselus, I think there's no risk. Sila ang nag umpisang hamunin tayo, right? if the opposing clan would wage war because we just simply respond sa ginawa ng merselus. Then we can simply ask for back up sa side natin. If tatahimik and hahayaan natin yung merselus there's this chance that they'll look down on us. And, we can't tolerate that. can we?" I said and letting out a smirk, after all the throne's not gonna wait. "Hala sige! magsama kayong tatlong kapre!" Xiumin finally giving in the thought exclaimed and drunk his wine straight. At dahil sa sinabing 'yon ni Xiumin napatawa si Audrey. I glared at her because she got the whole attention of the gang. So, finally coping up what's happening, huh? "Anong nakakatawa?" Tanong ko sa kaniya at tinignan siya ng masama at tulad ng inaasahan, hindi siya nagpatalo at tinaasan pa ako ng kilay. Para pa siyang nagulat sa pag tawa niya, I'm finally getting used to her reaction, now she gets more predictable. "Masama bang tumawa?" She asked me in a sarcastic way at iniwasan ang tingin ko. "Ugh? seriously aren't we worrying too much? if the opposing clan is really using merselus then they can't get any lower! Merselus ain't that strong! this is getting boring!--oh! why don't we just get to know more about Audrey?" Baekhyun shifting his attention from merselus to Audrey as soon as his eyes spotted her sulking. Baekhyun with enthusiasm smiles at her ng biglang mapatingin si Audrey sa kaniya nung narinig niya pangalan niya. Because of Baekhyun, all ten of then shifted their eyes on her. And the way they look at her--I can see admiration. I shouldn't be bothered but I feel a litle bit stingy. "Is this considered cheating?" Binalin naman sakin ni Baekhyun yung tingin niya, waiting for me to give permission. "Alright," I said, when I thought that maybe he's right. We might be really overthinking and end up overestimating merselus--I stopped on thinking ng biglang-- "Hi! Ako muna! Ako nga pala si Xiumin! nice to meet you!" Nagpakilala si Xiumin at talagang tumayo pa 'to para puntahan si Audrey at kunin ang mga kamay nito. The audacity. Unconsciously, I feel something's stinging me. "Hello, Xiumin, it's nice to meet you too," Audrey said smiling, I looked at her suspiciously. This is quite interesting, hindi nga niya ako nginingitian ng ganiyan pero sila? this girl is really getting on my nerves. Nasan na yung takot mo? Those guys looking at you got blood on their hands, little Audrey. "Hi Mrs. Park I'm Suho It's very nice to meet you, and congratulations. " Suho said and gave Audrey a smile and again she smiled back. Feeling comfortable now? Aren't we? "Hello, it's nice to meet you too. Thank you but... I don't feel something special to be congratulated " What does she means?! Kung alam niya lang na maraming babae ang hihilingin na sa kanila nangyari 'to--anyway a simple-minded girl won't get it. What am I getiing worked up for? "Huh? Why? by the way, I'm Baekhyun it's a pleasure to meet you." Baekhyun said giving her smile, tumingin rin siya ng nakakaloko sa akin. "Hi Baekhyun, May I ask something?" Now, she's curious about him? And what is she gonna ask now? his number? tsk seriously? "You're already asking," I said sarcastically at uminom ng red wine, not getting my eyes off of her. "Baekhyun, anong brand ng eyeliner mo?" She asked him at dahil doon ay muntik na akong masamid sa iniinom ko at ganon din si Xiumin na nabilaukan sa pagkain yung iba naman nagulat sa tanong niya habang si Baekhyun napatanga kay Audrey. He must ve expecting something else, na hindi niya expect na ganon ang itatanong ni Audrey. ...Same for us. Baekhyun took quite a shock, when he caught himself gasping, hinawakan niya yung bibig niya at inayos ang pag upo. Habang sila Kai naman nagpipigil ng tawa. "Uhm, Revlon.." nahihiyang sinagot ni Baekhyun at kinamot ang batok. I somehow wanted to laugh but I managed to stop it. This girl is must be crazy. Hindo ko alam kung dare devil siya o talagang naive lang siya. "Ahh..." She said while the other's on the edge sa pagpigil ng tawa nila. "Ah Hello I'm Dyo" D.O introduced in a polite manner before shrugging off the urge to laugh out loud. "Hi, Dyo I like your eyes, they're big" She said right after D.O introduced that made Kai and Xiumin burst out of laughter habang nag sisikuan. Is she dissing them in a light offensive way? "Ah, thank you." D.O unsure of what to react, looked at me before thanking her. Then suddenly, Tao raised from his seat at inabot yung kamay niya kay Audrey. "Hello I'm Tao, It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Park" Tao said, emphasizing the last part--trying to see how Audrey would react. "Hi, Tao It's nice to meet you too, you know at first I thought you're a snob." She said directly chuckling right on his face, but this impression isn't new anymore to Tao. So, they both comfortably shake each other's hands. "Yeah, I get that most of the time." Tao said comfortably, while Audrey looked a bit pissed ng hidi niya nagawang mapahiya si Tao. "Don't worry I'm just saying, I'm not judging you." She stated with a suiting bittersweet smile. "Kris is the name, nice to meet you." He introduced in a cold tone. Yeah, the usual Kris. "Nice to meet you too." She also said in a cold tone, wala talagang balak mag padaig 'tong babaeng 'to. And because of her sudden changed of tone napatingin sa kaniya bigla si Kris at maski silang lahat. being more amused of what she's done. "I'm Kai, I hope we can know more about each other " He winked at her. "Hello Kai, sorry but I don't have time." She refused at mukhang insnob pa si Kai that made Kai parted his lips in shock because for the first time may nag reject sa kaniya. So, you don't like flirts, huh? Chen laughed at Kai ng mapansin din niyang nareject siya right of the bat, then she looked at Audrey. As if, she's something interesting to play with. I glared at him ng mapansin yon. Hindi ko alam kung Audrey's aware of the fact that she's seating with people that she never wanted to mess with, kapag nalaman niyang behind the faces they show in front of her, lies notorious killers. What will her reactions be? other than the fact na alam niyang gangsters kami. Does she really know what gangsters do? "Hello, Audrey! I'm Chen!" Chen introduced himself grinning from ear to ear. "Hi, Chen!" Audrey said delightly reaching out her hand to him, looks like she got fooled by Chen. Napailing nalang ako at tinignan ng masa si Chen, when he finally saw me--he flinched and immediately broke their hand shake at iniwas ang tingin kay Audrey. "Hello, Ms. Audrey I'm Luhan! " He introduced with a wink and called her Ms., what the f**k! He's flirting with her! I frowned and glared at him, he just shrugged his shoulders and let out a grin. "Hello, Mr. Luhan It's ver--" "She's already my wife so call her 'Mrs.' Luhan." I was only supposed to correct him but I ended up blurting it out with a plain yet imposing tone. That took them somewhat surprise—I'm not exempted. What's with me? Well, I must have been feeling more territorial. "Oh, sorry dude I almost forgot." Sabay ngiti nang nakakaloko, tension almost heat up till Lay decided to speak up. "Hello MRS. PARK I'm Lay " Lay said emphasizing the Mrs. Park "Hello, Lay." Audrey responded awkwardly. "Hello, I'm Sehun! How old are you?" Sehun asked as if he's interested in her. "Hi Sehun, I'm 21 years old and unfortunately I'm already married to someone I don't love and I don't even know," She said at tumayo sa kinauupuan at nag walk out, sinenyasan ko naman ang maid ko na sundan siya at dalhin sa room niya. I let out a smirk and bit my lower lip and my brow suddenly arched. Anong pinapalabas niya?! tsk, Oo ang bata niya pa para ikasal pero anong magagawa niya?! dapat niyang pagbayaran ang utang ng mga magulang niya! "Woah what was that?! She doesn't love you? and the worst thing is she doesn't know who you are?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Dyo "Yes" tipid kong sagot as I drink my wine. "What?!!" They chorused "What? I get what I want!" And I will always get what I want. "Okay, We thought that she might at least know you. So? You kidnapped her?" Kris asked. "Kung hindi ka niya kilala at mahal paniguradong pinilit mo siya." Kris concluded "Explaination?" Suho demands as he pours red wine in his glass "Her parents had a big debt to my family. I took advantage of the opportunity. So, I offered them a deal that would make things for them easier. It's not my problem na nagkautang sila ng sobrang laki. But their misery is an opportunity for me to get out of my relatives' hands. They planned to tie me down with Mel, para nawala ako sa candidates ng magmamana ng throne. I won't let that happen, and I apologize for not letting you all know." I sincerely apologize for I handle this matter without any of them being aware of my relatives' plan. "Grabe pare.. I didn't know na ganyan ka pala ka agresibong tanggihan si Melanie..pfft--kung sa bagay ganun din gagawin ko!" natatawang sabi ni Luhan "You got a point kahit ako ganon din gagawin ko syempre ang ganda ni Audrey eh!" Kai "Oo nga at sexy pa!" Tao I glared at them, I don't know but they seem to have some thoughts running in their minds now. "But, why so sudden?" Baekhyun "My relatives see me as a big threat. And, I don't feel at ease on Melanie's obsession." Pagpapaliwanag ko "Hahahaha! grabe ka talaga! Hindi ko maimagine kung anong itsura ni Audrey kanina! siguradong gulat na gulat yun and that girl must be still in shock right now!" Chen and all of them laugh in chorus. "But I don't think she's the only one who's in shock right now," Kai uttered "What the heck do you mean?" I asked "It looks like na iba siya sa mga ibang babaeng nasa tabi lang.." "Ano?" What exactly does he mean? "I don't know I just feel that siya na yung katapat mo. Kanina talaga hindi ko inaasahang matataasan ka niya ng boses." And the whole gang laughed "She might look fragile ngayon, must be because of shock pero I bet sooner or later makaka pag adjust siya and the next thing we knew? Baka ikaw na yung nauutusan! Hahahaha!" Kai added "Mukhang magiging under ang isang Xaviere Park ah!" Baekhyun at nagtawanan nanaman sila "That's impossible! I'll show her." I said and smirk while thinking my plan for her..Tignan natin kung sinong mas matigas ang ulo sa amin. I'll teach a lesson every day she lives inside my territory. "Well, guys it's already late bukas nalang natin ituloy yung about sa Merselus Gang" Suho reminded as he looked at his wristwatch. Siya ang laging gustong nasa oras ang lahat--that made him the strategist. "Sige pre uwi na kami" Kris said at tumayo na sila, hinatid ko sila hanggang pinto at humarap sila sa akin. "Pre" Kris at hinawakan ang balikat ko, habang nakatingin ng seryoso sa mga mata ko. What now? "We are proud of you.." Suho said. Proud of what? "What the heck? ano nanamang gimmick to?!" I asked them and they all looked to each other and nod "We want a baby boy" They chorused at nagulat ako sa sinabi nila. So? what do they want me to do? adopt-- "Make one for us, Xaviere." Lay at hinawakan din ang balikat ko habang ako hindi makapaniwala sa mga sinasabi nila. Ano nanaman bang-- "Wha--" I got cut off "Ah! Make a baby girl too! I'm sure she will be so pretty like her mom!" Suho said habang naka ngiti ng nakakaloko. Pinagtritripan nanaman nila ako, bullshits. "Mother fucker" I Shouted at inalis ang mga kamay nilang nakapatong sa balikat ko. "Eh ano bang ginagawa ng bagong kasal?" Sehun said as if he's up to something. "We're not gonna do it. Tying a knot is far more than enough for someone's effin's sake." I reprimanded. These guys. "It doesn't matter! You're a multi billionaire! you can support her! Sige una na kami" sabi ni Xiumin and they left me dumbfounded. Napabuga nalang ako ng hangin dahil sa kanila. they're impossible. Antok na antok kong tinahak ang daan paakyat ng kwarto ko ng maalala ko ang babaeng 'yon--that girl, "Mga kalokohan nila. I'm not gonna do it with the—teasing her is on but doing it? No." I'm just planning to use her as my wife para maiwasan na ang diskusyon sa clan, in short for para siyang display lang sa isang museum. Pumasok na ako sa kwarto ko, agad kong tinahak ang pinto papasok ng banyo and I took shower at habang nagshoshower her pictures keep appearing on my mind. But I just shrugged them off. When I got clothes on, dumeretso na ako nang higa sa kama. And again. . . kahit pumikit ako siya pa rin ang nakikita ko. Minulat ko ang mga mata ko. "Such a cry baby," I said while stretching, as soon as I get my sleeping position, I shut my eyes off and instantly fell asleep. "Ang bango..."
