Chapter 2: Dinner Xavier's "How is it going?" I had to make the demand for the clan and my family. If I didn't, I will have no place in this f*****g hierarchy system we have. "It's—nothing clears yet, young master. Every head of the family seems not to notice it but we still need to be careful. We are not yet sure kung may balak sila." I left most of my men sa reception to be my eyes on every family in my clan specifically the heads. "Alright keep on watching, call me immediately if there's something weird. Keep all of them under surveillance." I hung the call up with that. The more the eyes I planted there, the more the chances they won't escape. I rested my back and light up the cigarette, the smoke reminds me of the day I saw my uncle being tortured by his own son. It was so vivid that I can still see it clearly... "I have to ensure getting on that throne." If not, I will be just anyone's pawn. And I won't let that. I'll be the head of this clan no matter what. "The first step is done, I just need to tame this girl and it will all be smooth." " I cannot let them speak with Audrey, they'll know the truth once they get their hands on her." Suddenly, a phone call arrived from one of my men. "Any updates?" "Hi, young master!" Just hearing her voice makes my blood boil so bad. "Oh? Wondering how I got this phone? Hah! Bet you—" her voice sounds cunning that I just want to cut this phone call immediately. "Stop what happened to—" "The party's so boring, I tried to search for you everywhere here but you're nowhere yo be found! Look, babe, bakit siya?! Bakit—" I couldn't stand it! If only I can just kill her! No... this means I still have to become stronger. "Those bastards trying to pull me down by offering me to marry that b***h!—-I won't let that happen! I'll get on top no matter what!" Marrying that b***h will just cut me down from hierarchy but marrying Audrey? I got nothing to lose. And besides, mas magiging madali sa akin pakasalan ko ang babaeng sa una palang hindi ko na kilala dahil alam kong there's no chance na maiinlove ako sa kaniya. Audrey's "Grabe, bahay niya ba talaga 'to? eh? mukha ng mansion eh? bahay pa ba ang tawag niya dito? grabe ang laki at ang lawak, we have to go through a path that must be meters away from the gate to get here. Paniguradong kung sino man magbabalak na magnakaw maliligaw muna—"  "No, paniguradong sino mang tumakas from here mahuhuli before pa makalabas ng gate..." Realization hit me hard. "I need to get out from here," I uttered, as I hopelessly searched with my eyes for possible escape route sa mga dinadaanan namin. Umakyat kami ni Xaviere through a grand and massive staircase, I couldn't help but feel bad about being amazed at how grandiose this mansion could be. And here he is, walking ahead right in front of me. I can just run away from him pero alam ko sa labas may mga tao siyang pwede akong humilian ng walang kahirap hirap. There are these massive windows na instead of giving me hope, it just crushes the hope I am searching. All I can see through these windows are the woods surrounding this mansion not to mention may mga tao ring may dala dalang mga baril na nagbabantay. "What are you people exactly?" I asked Xaviere. Tumigil siya sa paglalakad and he turned around to face me. Tumingin siya saglit sa labas ng bintana, having the view that crushed my hope to get out. Then he let out a smirk and faced me. "Thinking to escape? Don't even bother because I won't let you." He said not answering my question. "I know you won't let me, but why? Tsaka sino ba kayo? G-gangster?" Not a gangster please, please no— he laughed as if I cracked some hilarious jokes. Then his smiles slowing turns into an emotionless expression. "Yes, I am. I'm a gangster Audrey. You just got married to a notorious criminal." He uttered with daring glares. "What??" Nanghina ang mga tuhod ko and I can't even utter an argument. Because the marriage is done. What's done is done. After that statement, he continues to walk ahead giving me the eyes to follow his lead. If not, nothing good is going to happen to me. He stopped and opened a room, giving me the eyes to get in—-ayokong mag isip ng kung ano man pero ano bang ginagawa ng bagong kasal? If this is what I'm thinking it is, them I'm doomed. "Pumasok ka na" Commanding and daring voice. "Ugh, bakit? Pano ako napunta dito??! Like ugh. Bakit sa lahat ng tao—ako pa?!" Hindi pa ako nalakapasok, sumalubong na sa mata ko ang isang king sized bed. "H-Ha?" Ayoko please, please no. This is r**e. This is r**e! "Sabi ko pumasok kana" He said at naunang pumasok. Hinubad niya ang coat niya at niluwangan ang neck tie niya. habang nakatitig sa akin. I don't want to think of any malicious things will going to happen pero hindi impossible yon. He—he's a criminal after all. r**e, drugs, underground deals and all kinds of stuff na hindi ko maimagine baka—no probably na gawa na niya. "A--eh--ka-kasi--" Nauutal kong sinabi. Is this really it? Ganito nalang ba mawawala lahat sakin? First kiss, marriage, and then virginity?! "No!" I yelled as I grab and hugged myself. As if this is enough to protect myself from him. "Kung hanggang dito nalang ako—lalaban ako hanggang huli!" "Anong sinasabi mo?!" He yelled confused. "Tsk.! anong gusto mo buhatin pa kita?!" Pasigaw nanaman nyang sinabi. Ako naman 'tong takot kanina pa sunod nang sunod. "No need!" Sumigaw din ako at pumasok anong "Akala nya?! papatalo ako?! No way! Gosh, hindi ko matanggap ang mga nangyayari at nangyari ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung ano na ang magiging buhay ko." "Good" Sabi nya at ngumiti pa ang loko, dapat ko bang pagsisihan na pumasok pa ako? pride really sucks! I was caught off guard nang hilahin niya ako palapit sa kaniya dahilan para mapayakap ako sa kaniya. "Te--te--ka-- Dya--Dyan ka lang!!" I shouted sabay tulak sa kanya para magkaron ng distansya sa pagitan namin. "Why? We're married right?" I stepped backwards habang papalapit siya sa akin. "Diyan ka lang! I want to fight, pero wala akong laban sa kaniya." Bigla nalang akong napatigil sa pag atras ng tanggalin niya ang necktie niya at tinggal ang ilan sa mga butones ng polo niya. Gusto kong gumalaw pero di ko kayang galawin ang mga paa kong parang napako sa kinatatayuan ko. "Bu--But--" I tried to protest but he suddenly cut me off nang makalapit siya ng tuluyan at hinawi ang buhok kong nakaharang sa isa kong mata. "No buts babe." napakaseductive nyang sinabi at hinila ako sa waist dahilan para mapa lapit ako sa kanya, nilapit nya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko at bumulong "To live, you have to obey." Tama, wala akong laban kahit anong gawin ako. I am surrounded saan man ako pumunta ngayon. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung makakaalos pa ako. Hindi ko natigilan umiyak sa sinabi niya. "A while ago, nakasalalay sa 'Yes, I do.' Ang buhay ko ngayon naman I have to obey, why me?!" Nilapit niya yung mukha niya sa mukha ko and I couldn't help myself to expect anything more than a kiss—instinctively I did an unexpected upper punch. I myself couldn't comprehend why and how I did that in all these fear. But it somehow boosted my confidence. "He will surely get his way back at me pero at least if fighting 'till the end won't make me a victim of this situation then be it!' "I understand na may utang ang parents ko sa kaniya na probably sobrang laki kaya I was sold pero hindi ibigsabihin n'on ay pwede na niyang makuha ang lahat, hindi ako papayag!! kasal lang kami sa papel!" Because of that punch napahiga siya sa kama dahil tinulak ko rin siya! sapo sapo niya ang panga niya at tumingin sa akin na parang hindi makapaniwala. "You may have this body but never my will to live!" I fearlessly stated. There's nothing to fear now. There's nothing worse than being sold to a criminal right now. And if looks could kill, kanina pa ako hindi humihinga. Furious invade his hollow and emotionless eyes. "Hoy Babae! ang kapal mo naman para suntukin ako!" He shouted na namumula sa galit at syempre di talaga ako magpapatalo. "Mapatay na kung mapatay pero hindi ako papayag na ginaganto niya lang ako." "Hoy Lalake! mas hamak na mas makapal mukha mo no! kung ayaw mong maulit yan! Don't you dare touch me!" Sinigawan ko rin sya, bigla siyang tumayo nang padabog at hinarap ako with his glaring eyes. "bakit naman kita susundin?" In a while it sounded like a question but it immediately turned to a 'you-have-no-right-statement.' "Dahil gusto ko!" sigaw ko sa kaniya, tears are still falling on my cheeks. "Sorry ka dahil kung gusto kitang hawakan wala kang magagawa" bigla nya na namang nilapit mukha niya sa mukha ko, tinulak ko siya dahilan para mapahiga siya sa kama ulit pero bigla niya rin akong hinila kaya ang resulta ay nasaibabaw niya ako, nagtama ang mga mata namin at sadyang kinilabutan ako ng ngumisi na naman siya. Sinubukan kong tumayo pero hinawakan niya nang mahigpit ang mga kamay ko at umibabaw siya sa akin, damn this guy! Malakas siya, sadyang hindi lang niya inasahan yung ginawa ko sa kaniya kanina kaya mabilis siyang napaupo. Pero ngayon tables have turned. Bigla namang may nagbukas nang pinto kaya parehas kaming napatingin sa dereksyong 'yon. "Young master, nandito na po--" biglang pumasok ang isang maid at naabutan niyang nakaibabaw sa akin si Xaviere. Nagulat ako sa kanya at ganun din ang reaksyon ng maid. "Sorry po!!" Fear immediately enveloped her face as soon as he saw Xaviere's glares at her. Lumabas nang mabilis sa kwarto at mabilis ring sinara ang pinto, nagulat ako sa maid kaya talagang napatunganga ako. Kahit siya hindi ko mahihingan ng tulong. Then I faced him again and it looks like malicious thoughts are encircling in his mind already. "Anong nginingiti mo dyan?!" tanong ko at sinubukan siyang itulak. "Mukha ka kasing tangang di alam kung anong gagawin" he said in a sarcastic way at tumayo na siya, naglakad siya papunta sa pinto at binalingan akong muli at kung kanina nakangisi siya..ngayon wala na akong makitang emosyon sa mukha niya.. "This man sure is strange, he can change emotions in just a matter of seconds." "Magbihis ka ipapakilala kita sa kanila, may mga dress at accesories dyan sa walk in closet, bilisan mo. I hate waiting." He said and left me. "Sino sila?... parents? Gangsters? No.." "Pero ano bang choice ko? Come to think of it, if I am a disposable being sa kaniya then kanina palang pag sign and right after ng marriage sana pinatay na ako. Pero he is keeping me alive... and ipapakilala niya ako, pag ipapakilala it means he is going to keep me alive hanggang may kwenta ako." Binuksan ko yung napakalaking pinto ng walk in closet at pagbukas ko, halos mahulog ang panga ko.."Grabe ang gaganda mga mga dress!! at yung mga accessories!! alam kong nakakapagsuot naman ako ng mga ganito pero, grabe lang talaga. Also, mukhang pinaghandaan ang pagdating ko dito. From the very start, I was being stalked and then may mga gamit pang nandito? so it means, planado na talaga ang kasal. Ako lang ang minadali pero lahat naka set na, if tama ang naiisip ko then... hindi ako basta basta hahayaan ipapatay ni Xaviere." "He will keep me alive?.." If not for so long, then I must figure out what will keep me alive. Pagkatapos kong magbihis bumaba na ako at sinalubong ang lalaking for sure is one of his men. "Good evening, Lady Audrey ako na pong maghahatid sa inyo" He said, napataas ang kilay ko dahil sa inakto niya. Siya yung isa sa mga taong nag stalk sa akin. I remember him! He was the cashier! If only I could spill a bean pero for sure wala siyang alam, sumusunod lang siya. Sumunod nalang ako sa kanya as he lead the way papuntang dining area. Ang lawak. grabe, ang elegante nang dating. Hindi mo aakalaingga criminal ang nakatira dito. Pinaupo niya ako at habang naka upo pinagmasdan ko ang paligid ang daming paintings and furnitures. Di nagtagal may mga boses akong naririnig na nagtatawanan papunta papasok ng dining area. I didn't bother to look, hindi ako handa sa mga nangyare sa araw na to, mas lalong hindi ako handa harapin ang mga taong 'to. Whoever they are, they must be up to no good. Inhale, exhale. "Kaya ko 'to." Biglang may sumulpot sa harapan kong isang lalaking may mala siopao ang mga pisngi. I was so shock—I didn't imagine meeting someone who doesn't even look like a criminal. Well, Xaviere looks fierce and he is a self-proclaimed gangster. So he is an exception. Nagulat ako pero di ko pinahalata, ayokong mawala ang composure kong pinilit kong ayusin. I struggled in fear of facing anyone's related to that man. "Woah! Ikaw na ba ang asawa ni Xaviere?" tanong niya wala sana akong balak sagutin ang tanong niya pero— "Yes, she's my wife" I startled a bit ng marinig ko ang boses na 'yon. I still haven't get used to his presence. Just like with cue, bigla nalang nagsulputan ang mga iba pang lalaki. I supposeed we are on the same age. They all looked like, models? I can't believe I am seeing this. This is far from my expectation of gangsters. "I must say she's pretty. Congratulations Xavier and Mrs.?" Bati nung isa sa kanila. "Audrey" I respond plainly, "Wow, Mrs. real quick!" "Hi Mrs. Park! It's nice to meet you " bati sa akin nung isa pa. "Nice to meet you daw e hindi naman nagpapakilala? Ano yan? kailangan ko pa silang tanungin kung sino sila? psh, bahala kayo diyan. Hindi ako interesado, mas interesado ako sa kung anong pwedeng gawin para makausap ang mga magulang ko about this insane situation where they got me into." "That's enough staring, let's settle for a fine dine." sabi ni Xaviere at lahat sila nag siupuan. "Sa kanila niya ako ipapakilala? What are these people got to do with my purpose to him?. A display? A trophy? What are you thinking Xaviere?" "I didn't invited you guys to just stare on her, she's not the main dish." Sinabi ni Xaviere at napatingin ako sa kanya at sa mga lalaki at lahat sila nakatingin sa akin. "What main dish?! You malicious being!" Tinaasan ko sila ng kilay and glared at them. "How dare are you people? Wala na akong ibababa pa, so bring it on!' "So bakit mo nga pala kami ininvite?" tanong nung lalakeng pinaka matangkad sa kanila. "My first reason is I want you to meet my wife" sabay akbay sa akin ni Xaviere magkatabi kami ng upuan and it's very irritating! "Mom, Dad, wherever you are I wish you're thinking about me right now and I hope you're both worried about me. I hope Xaviere's just spouting nonsense about me being sold, help." "And second, is kailan natin papatumbahin ang Marselus Gang?" at dun na nag simulang mag iba ang expressions ng mga mukha nila. Naging seryoso sila at tila napukaw non ang atensyon nilang lahat--wait anong gang?! "A-anong Gang?!" Tanong ko at lahat sila napatingin sa akin na parang nagtataka sa tinanong ko.   What? don't look at me as if I'm the strange one, here! "Di mo ba alam na ang napangasawa mo ay isang Gangster?" Tanong sa akin nung maputing lalaki na bakas pa rin sa mukha yung reaction niyang parang hindi makapaniwala but this time, nag pipigil na siya ng tawa. "I- I know!" I shouted ng tuluyan nang mag sink in ang halo halong takot at kaba when I saw them all at once grin at me. Nakalimutan kong gangster pala silang lahat for a meantime. Behind all these gorgeous looks lies unending troubles.  This is unbelievable. Wait, is this even true?!  All my expectations with gangsters suddenly went up because of their looks!  Wow, Audrey? really? you are worshipping them now for being handsome? "Xavier! What's this awkward situation?" That tan guy spoke with an amused expression. "Darling, you don't have to worry. Because you are married to not just any gangster. He is a multi-billionaire gangsta! You can just slack off all day and do shopping all and any day you want!" He added, and if he thinks it lightens up my mood. It didn't! Give my normal life back! "Cut this conversation, let's move forward on our plan—" "Explain everything, why me?!" I need an explanation Xaviere. Here, now or never. I have this doubt that my parents having huge dept is not enough reason for you to marry me. Why pull me down with you? "Ayoko!" "I demand an explanation, Mr. Park!" Please, I don't want to get entangled with any criminal's life! "Woah" they chorused with amusement on their faces. "Okay, Mrs. Park, listen and analyze the situation you are in. If you get through with the realization that you are 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!" Looking smart, the one who has the siopao cheeks stated. I was shock the whole time at wala akong magawa kundi manahimik nalang at makinig sa mga pinag uusapan nila. They are talking lang naman tungkol sa mga plano nila kung pano daw nila papatayin at tatapusin ang Merselus Gang. Ano ba itong pinasok ko? nanlalabot na ako... Tinignan ko silang lahat, at taimtim na nagdasal. "God, why? Why me? Sa dinadami nang mga babae bakit ako?" All these questions of 'why me' still kicks in. Puro p*****n, ang naririnig ko sa kanila, drugs, at iba pang mga illegal na bagay.. "Oh God please, get my ass out of here." === A/N: HI FAM!!! ITS YO GHORL LAUVE LEE!
