I WAS BEWITCHED BY THE MAFIA EMPEROR

Chapter 22: Attendance

Victoria's Point of View

Kakagising ko lang at pababa na ako. Napuyat ako dahil sa ceremony na ginanap sa Headquarters para kay Vivienne. May she rest in eternal peace now wherever she is.

"Naku, natutulog pa si Tori eh. Kaklase ka ba nya? Teacher? Naku baka bagot na bagot kana ah , kanina ka pa naghihintay sakanya eh." Who the hell is mom talking to? Nagtago muna ako sa hagdan.

" I'm here to visit her. If you dont mind I'm also here to borrow her from you for today so its fine if she wakes up late. I'll wait." somebody is here and its a guy. Who might it be? The voice is familiar. Could it be? No definitely. I might kill him in front of my mom. Just the thought of him responsible for my own abduction several years ago makes my blood boil.

" Sino ka nga ulit iho?" tanong ni mom

" Its Azithere Azreal ma'am" sabi nya.

Bullfrog. Sya nga. Napatampal nalang ako sa noo ko nang mapagtanto na sya nga nang dumungaw ako sa hagdan.

" Oh Azreal? May business partner kaming Azreal sa Palawan." sabi ni mom, Its him mom. It's that filthy bastard.

" That could be me maam. I'm the CEO of that company." sabi nya

" So hindi pala kayo magkaklase?" si mom

" No ma'am. I'm here to just fetch her. I had a bone to pick with her." Malamig nyang sabi.

What did I do?

" Did she trouble you? If she did, we humbly apologize." sabi ni mom.

I had a frickin large bone to pick with you as well asshole.

Pinagpatuloy ko na ang naudlot kong pagbaba sa hagdan. Habang nagpipigil ng galit.

"Good morning Tori. Look who's here, may bisita ka. And guess who. Its the CEO of the Azreal Companies." Sabi ni mom nang dumaan ako.

"What brings you here?" Walang kahit anong emosyon na tanong ko.

" Picking you up miss Melendez" nangilabot ako the way he said my surname.

" What for?" Masungit na sabi ko

"Mr. Azreal, the breakfast is ready. Do you want to grab some? Come eat with us." sabi ni mom.

Azithere's POV

I have something in my sleeves that would make her freak out. But I have to do this by hook or by crook.

" Ma'am, If you dont mind Can I borrow her now? I hope its fine for you" TAnong ko sa mom ni Victoria

She must be clueless kung anong gulo ang pinasok ng anak nya.

" Sure no Problem. Tori maligo ka na. Wag kang paimportante." Sabi ng mom nya sakanya.

Victoi stared at me with the intention of a murderer.

Her eyes are different than the Victoria I've known.

But the puzzles are puzzling now when I recalled about her coordination with those weapons.

Just like my Empire.

" But I havent eaten yet!" nagmaktol pa nyang sabi

" Oh shush . I guess Mr. Azreal will treat you into a nice Restaurant later" mom ni Tori

Come to think of it. It would be nice if I will take her to our very own restaurant first before restraining her.

" I have a plan in mind to take her to our very own exclusive Restaurant maam." sabi ko

" Oh yun naman pala Victoria Graciana Melendez kaya Maligo ka na at magbihis. Paglipas ng 20 minutes at wala ka pa dito sa baba. No more cars."

" WHAT? This is unfair! " sigaw ni Tori

She is really stubborn.

I'm still not sure how the hell she killed those guys from TK building but with Alexander's additional information. I'm now sure that she also had something to do with Vivienne's death.

" Time starts now" sabi ng mom ni Victoria

She looks Cute when she's in a hurry.

"I'm sorry about her. She is pretty handy these past few years." sabi ng mom ni Victoria.

I Know. It is when she loose her wits and start mass murders.

" Its fine." sabi ko

" Do you like my daughter?" biglaang tanong nya sakin

Napaisip ako. Do I still love her?

Unfortunately I still do. Not because of what happened to us in my condominium. That was utterly a product of our burning desires.

And if there's someone out there who's after her to kill her.

I hope she'll die in my own hands. That way I can rest in peace as well.

" It might be unbelievable but Yes I do like her at some cases." tanong ko

" You can If you want. I'm not going to refuse a big fish biting our hook." sabi ng mom nya

" Thank you for considering me Maam." sabi ko

" No call me MOM. " sabi ng mom ni Victoria.

" Thanks Mom, I wont let you down." sabi ko

Ngayon na nakausap ko na ang mom ni Victoria ay wala ng problema. The only problem left is her and that unruly behavior of hers.

" I'm done, so Can we go now? The earlier we leave the earlier we get to who knows where the f**k we'll get." Sabi ni Victoria habang nakatingin ulit sakin with those dagger eyes.

She wears white puff upper and white square pants.

" Shall we?" tanong ko

" As If I have the choice no?" She refused my hand to hold her

Papunta kami ngayon ng AzReal Company.

I can still remember what Alexander spilled and clarify after Tyronne delivered an incompetent information.

Flashback

I was startled when someone barged in underground conference room. I am currently busy pacifying the clamoring mafia bosses and consiglieres about their failed transactions and series of mass killings in their mafia basements. Several of their laboratories are destroyed as well.

" Your highness! Do something! If these anonymous groups will continue ruining our properties. We small mafia organizations will fall. And your throne will be in terrible danger."

I raised my hand to signal that they shut the hell up first.

" What now Alexander. I'm in the middle of pacifying these imbeciles here. Are you tired of living?" Tanong ko

" That's not important right now. It's Victoria. Shes-

Nanlaki Ang mga mata ko sa binulong ni Alexander.

" Do something to save the twins. Several mafias recognized her already and Valentine might be in terrible danger. The Melendez family must be clueless about her business."

May you forgive me for what I'm going to do with you. But this is the best way to restrain you.

After what Alexander has found out about you and the informations I accumulated from the website. I now understand why you killed those people and Vivienne.

And may your family forgive me for the next action I'm about to do.

End of Flashback

Tyronne's POV

NAkatanaw lang ako sa malaking Grandfathers clock dito sa Office ni Azithere- I mean Mr. Azreal pala. Hinihilot ko lang ang sentido ko dahil parang sasabog na ito sa sobrang stress. I cannot with these two idiots. They both act like a Siberian husky in heat.

" We Apologize your Honor for keeping you waiting." si Alexander na ngayon ay halatang pinagsisisihan ang mga impormasyon na sinabi nya kay Azithere.

" That's alright. Siguro nagpapaganda pa ang Bride." sagot naman ng Judge.

I understand the reason behind this nakakawindang na wedding episode na to. It's all because he wanted to protect her from all the Yakuzas.

" Dude Seryoso ba jan si Mr. Azreal na papakasalan si Victoria? She doesn't deserve this to be married on this early age." si Alexander, Isa pa tong baon sa sementeryo ang pagtingin kay Victoria. Kung hindi mo lang sinabing bobo ka. Ikaw nalang sana ang nagpakasal.

" Forget about her. May malaki tayong problemang kinakaharap and Victoria is the key to end this all up!" singhal ko

"I'm still Concern about Tori. Not because I like her but because i cared for her. And it kills me to watch Azithere about to marry her." sabi ni Alexander

I just snorted.

LOVE VIRUS. Everyone can be infected in a blink of an eye.

" Sorry were late." Speaking of the devil. They're here.

And from the looks of it. It seems that Victoria is in a bad mood right now and currently shoots daggers in her eyes.

" Okay Shall we start the Ceremony? It won't take a while, after this you will sign the Documents." sabi ng Hwes o Judge I bet nagmamadaling matapos to.

" Hold on. Anong Ceremony to?" pagtatanong ni Victoria

" You will know when its done. Stop squabbling para matapos agad. This Ceremony is for the benefit of everybody." half Lie na sabi ni Azithere. Pumalatak lang ako at hindi mapakali sa inuupuan ko.

So ayun tumahimik naman at sawakas nag umpisa na rin ang Ceremony. Well unlike any other marriage. Dissolve ang pag I do dito dahil sinabi ni Azithere. PArang nagdidisscuss nga lang ang Judge.

Pinauna kaming pinapirma ng Huwes para sa Sign of the WItness At saka pinahuli si Azithere at Victoria.

" Pipirma din ako? What for? I have nothing to do with this!" Sigaw nya habang nakikipagtagisan ng tingin kay Azithere.

If she only knew kung ano ang papaasukan nya.

Well she would know it later

Pilit parin syang pinapapirma ni Azithere habang sya ay nagmamatigas parin.

" Walang mawawala kung pipirma ka ng attendance miss Melendez."

Attendance ampota! I almost burst laughing by his lame excuse just to make her sign.

Hindi nya mababasa ito dahil pirma lang nya ang kukunin at itatransfer sa documents para ipalabas na kasal sila ni Azithere.
