I WAS BEWITCHED BY THE MAFIA EMPEROR

Chapter 14: Goddess

Victoria's POV

Ngayong naka pasok na ako ay parang nagdadalawang isip na ako kung tatanggapin ko paba ang misyon o hindi.

" Seems to be that all of you are already here. Zulu, Yankee, DK Falcon and of course Delta." Bati ni Alpha samin. Nagulat lang ako dahil nandito ang infamous namin na Death Knight. Ni minsan hindi ko din nakita mukha nya katulad ng mga kasama ko dito pero si Yankee nakita ko na ang mukha nya. Nagulat ako nung una pero hindi din naman ako nagtataka dahil sa boses palang ay may resemblance na.

" Do you want to continue being Delta?" Ulit na tanong ni Alpha

Kahit nakamaskara pa si Alpha ay alam kong matiim nya akong tinitignan.

" I heard you got shot again. Was that true?"

Tumango lang ako. Parang kinuha ng pusa ang dila ko dahil sa walong buwan ngayon lang ulit ako kinausap ni Alpha.

" I apologize for making you the Reservist. But as you can see, You're still a Delta. You might reconsider. I reconsidered you. Your brute strength is incomparable to anyone. I'll dismiss you once you got shot once again. Do you understand?"

" I actually accepted already the facts if you don't want me to be the Delta anymore. I'm considering not to look forward for further missions." Sabi ko

I actually made a decision a few days ago dahil sa sinabi sakin ni Valentine pero na distort lang nang biglang mag message sakin si Zulu na sinegunda din ni Yankee.

Someone tapped my shoulders that caused me to flinch.

" The Death knights won't accept another Delta unless you're dead. You know why peregrine and I are still alive right now. It's because of you. Now if you leave the organization, I'll be disappointed." Sabi ni Falcon.

I'm really supposed to refuse because I wanted a normal life and to finally had a chance to be with Azithere. Valentine told me about him. He shed some tears when I was shot. I am hoping that I'm thinking the same thought as him. Pinapanalangin ko na sana tama ang sapantaha ko na may nararamdaman din sya sakin despite of how different our worlds are. However, Falcon here is now convincing me that I should go back to service.

" Delta." Untag sakin ni Alpha

" I, Commando Delta is now reporting on duty. " Sabi ko at nag salute.

He might love me for being the Victoria he knows. But he will never love the Victoria who kills people for good.

" That's the Victoria I know." Sabi ni Falcon.

Magugulat pa sana ako kung paano nya nalaman ang pangalan ko pero narealize ko na my face is not a secret to the organization kaya ikinibit balikat ko nalang.

" Since you're all here already

I'll assign you to a heavy task. Since Delta just returned. You must show me what you've got this time.

Tumango lang ako at nakinig sa Endorsement ni Alpha.

" Several kids were abducted and were moved outside the vicinity of the city. Peregrine is now scouting together with Trumpeteer. The Commando in charge with the small cameras are out there as well. All we need are infiltrators. I'm asking Delta to be the back up since you are still injured."

Tumango lang ako dahil sa totoo naman na hindi ko pa kaya na ma assign sa frontlines. Kaya back up muna ako.

" Zulu will be the front lines. Yankee will be the watcher and Falcon is the defacto suicide Agent today. Do we have complaints?" Tanong ni Alpha.

" None sir!" Sigaw namin

" Another thing. We heard that the underground Empire are up to no good. Be careful, they might be in cahoots with the Dark Web. " Warning samin ni Alpha. " By the way Falcon. You have something to report to me right? You can relay it now while we're all still here."

" There are several confirmed Mafias in Aubrium Academy. A lot of them were marked dead. There has been an infiltration and termination going. " Sabi ni Falcon

" I see. So they were the ones who're distorting the Academy's reputation." Napahawak pa si Alpha sa kanyang chin habang nag iisip.

" Continue the surveillance. If they're involved in several abductions. We'll take actions."

" Aye aye sir!"

" You're all dismissed. Gather at the hilltop at exactly 2200. "

Lumabas na kami sa Headquarters at nagusap kami saglit ni Yankee while Falcon made his way.

" You should keep watch on that Mr. Azreal. He's probably a Mafia too. " Sabi ni Yankee

" He can't be. He's just a businessman."

"Aren't every mafias are businessmen as well?"

Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi nya. Tama nga naman. Azithere could be a Mafia.

Gosh ang gulo! The puzzles are at point. And I refuse to believe it.

Alexander's POV

Azithere realized his feelings for her the moment her life flashed before his eyes. He realized that he loved her.

" What?" Hindi makapaniwalang sambit ni Tyronne habang naglilinis ng mga baril. Nakikinig lang ako sa usapan nila ni Tyronne. Gusto ko sanang mag intermission sa harap nila pero narealize ko na medyo nagkakainitan nanaman sila. Tyronne and Azithere are really like tom and jerry.

" You heard me and you're not deaf. " sabi nya while puffing the vape. Kelan pa natutong mag nebulizer to?

" Victoria is not someone you could just date! She's not even 20 for f***s sake Azithere and you know why she got shot to begin with. It's because of you. It's because of the kind of people that we are." Napahampas sa table si Tyronne

" Why are you reacting like a good old father of her?"

" That's because I care about innocent people. You are the Emperor. You know what's best and what's not. " Sabi nya at napa walk out.

Napabuga lang ako sa hangin.

Victoria is really making the Three of us crazy isn't she?

I can still remember the day I saw her at the highway nang ma sabotage yung minamaneho kong kotse.

Lakad takbo ang ginawa ko nun dahil may tama ako ng bala at desperado akong makasakay sa kahit sino.

Flashback

12 months ago

Kaasar na mga taga underground. Hindi lang nanalo sa bidding sinabutahe pa ang kotse ko. Nabaril pa ako sa tagiliran.

Nang may marinig ako na papalapit na parang motor ay agad akong pumara. Sa kabutihang palad ay huminto ito. Akala ko ay mga goons ng Underground parin dahil naka itim ito. Pero mukhang galing rides lang sya dahil babae ito.

" Hala! Napaano ka?" Sigaw nya ng makita ako.

" Tulungan mo ako. May humahabol sakin." Sabi ko

"Halika dadalhin kita sa hospital!" Sigaw nya

Pinigilan ko sya dahil iniiwasan namin na magkaroon ng contact sa kahit anong ospital bilang pasyente.

" Wag, please. Kahit saan mo ako ibaba. Wag mo lang akong dalhin sa ospital."

" Eh mukha kanang cadaver jan hindi paba kita dadalhin sa hospital?"

" Just-

" Oo na, wear this damn thing and buckle up. I'll take you home for a while. I have first aid there."

Nabighani ako nang makita ko ang kanyang mukha nang hubarin nya ang kanyang Helmet at pinasuot sakin. Wala akong gaanong makita dahil parang pitch masyado ang tint ng helmet. Paano nya nakikita ang daan nito? Buti nalang may pinag aralan ako sa na i visualize Ang topographical area kaya kahit iligaw ako hindi ako maiisahan.

Balik tayo sa binibining to, napakaganda nya. Wala syang make up kaya litaw na litaw ang natural nyang mukha.

Nakahinga din ako ng maluwag nang hindi na sya masyadong nagtanong. Tahimik lang sya na klase ng babae pero ramdam ko yung pag aalala nya sakin dahil bumabakas ito sa mukha nya.

Huminto ang motor sa harap ng isang malaking bahay.

" Get inside gagamutin kita and dispose you somewhere out of sight." Sabi nya sakin.

Kinilabutan ako ng konti sa kanyang sinabi pero sa tingin ko nagbibiro lang sya.

Inumpisahan nyang gamutin ang sugat ko. Napapiksi ako nang may dinukot sya sa laman ko.

" Kaya pala ayaw mong dalhin kita sa hospital. May pulis bang naghahabol sayo?" Sabi nya habang hawak nya ang forceps na may bala.

Hindi ako makasagot. Hindi ko din alam ang isasagot ko sakanya.

" It's okay if you don't want to talk. I don't feel anything creepy din sayo. Mukhang hindi naman makabasag pinggan mukha mo. "

Nang matapos sya ay nilagyan nya ng dressing ang sugat ko.

" There will be people here tomorrow. I need to drop you off somewhere. "

Tumango lang ako.

" You can drop me on this address" sabi ko at saka pinakita sakanya ang screen ng google map

" Alright. After you eat something we can go." Sabi nya sakin

" What's your name? I need to know the name of someone who's beautiful as the Goddess of beauty."

" Tori. Short for Victoria."

End of flashback

I will never forget that face of hers. Kahit pa na may kambal sya at hindi ko nalaman ang pangalan nya. I know the disparity between the two dahil sa loob ng silid aralan ay ganun parin sya. Pero she seems to forget me now dahil ni minsan hindi nya ako narecognize. It was over a year ago after all.

I didn't expect either that Azithere will like her as well.

I was supposed to come back to her months ago when we were ambushed together. I distracted the enemies while Azithere was pursued by Dominic. He was left alone and I never expected that the house he ran into was Victoria's house. And he spent several days with her.

What a small damn world.

" You seems to be deep in your thoughts Alexander."

" What? "

" You've come to Pluto and came back. How's the trip?"

Napakamot ako ng ulo sa sinabi nya.

" What the hell Mr.Azreal."

" Have you finished the transactions?" tanong nya sakin

" Of course. I even got the antiques you asked before. " Confident kong sagot

" Good, I have to go. You're in charge of Tyronne for today. "

" Where the hell are you going?"

" Just driving. Wanna date without me then?"

" Go f**k yourself and scram please and give me peace " sabi ko at napahilot sa sentido

Minsan talaga hindi ko alam kung sino sa amin ang mas matured.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at tinignan ang wallpaper ko.

Natutulog lang sya sa library nang madaanan ko habang nagroroam ako.

She really looks like a Goddess. If only destiny permits me to have her. I'll surely will cherish her for life.
