Valentine POV
" Ano ba! Sabing ayokong sumama sayo." bulyaw ko sa hunyango na kumaladkad sakin papuntang parking lot. Hindi sya umimik at patuloy lang sya sa paghila sakin. Malakas sya kaya hindi ko mahila pabalik yung kamay ko.
" Get inside." Utos nya sakin.
" Okay ka lang? Bakit ako papasok?"
" Please just f*****g get inside, I'll explain myself later." Pamimilit sakin ni Azamiko na kung maka utos parang close kami.
" Kapag isa nanaman to sa kalokohan mo Azamiko makikita mo." Seryoso kong babala sakanya at pumasok sa kotse. Ewan ko ba sa lalaking to at dikit ng dikit sakin.
Humalukipkip lang ako.
Nagmaneho na sya at napansin ko na papunta kami sa kumpanya nila.
" We're here, halika samahan mo muna ako."
Napahanga naman ako sa architectural structure ng company nila. Hindi maipagkakaila na sobrang appealing nito.
Hinawakan ni Azamiko ang kamay ko at saka pumasok na kami sa loob.
Luminga linga lang din ako habang sinusubay ng mata ko ang interior design ng kumpanya.
" I designed it. " Basag nya sa katahimikan ko
Napatingin ako sakanya. Hindi ko namalayan na isang titig na pala ang ginagawa ko.
" At this point I'd rather prefer you staring at me with hatred. But it's a happy phenomenon to see your eyes full of passion." Sabi ni Azamiko
Agad naman akong bumalik sa senses ko nang marinig yon.
Pumasok lang kami sa elevator at pinindot nya ang 24th floor.
" Where are we going?" tanong ko
" It's my birthday. I need to bring someone today. Just for today." Sabi nya sakin habang naka yuko
" Well why the hell didn't you just say so?" Sigaw ko sakanya
" Nadala mo ba?" Tanong nya sakin
He must be referring to the chest.
" Oo nandito sa handbag ko." Sabi ko sakanya.
" Please, can you pretend to be my girlfriend ngayon. Kahit ngayon lang."
Siraulo to, gusto pa akong gamitin.
" Madami ka namang babae bat hindi sila gamitin mo?"
" Hanggang kelan ko ba papatunayan na wala akong babae. Alam mo namang ikaw lang lagi kong nakikita. Nakita mo ba akong lumalandi sa iba ? Hindi diba? Erase what Viandre told you about me being the Casanova because I am not."
Come to think of it. Perhaps, Louis is right. I never saw Skyler dating any women. And I just believed what Viandre told me.
" I'm sorry. Oo na oo na. Since birthday mo naman." Sabi ko
Lumapad yung ngiti nya at nagulat ako nang hawakan nya ang kamay ko.
Nang tumungtong na sa 24th floor ay lumabas na kami.
The place is kinda eerie though since pinaka huling floor na ito ng building. We entered a big door na may dalawa pang bodyguard na bantay.
I find this place a little bit creepy.
Pagpasok namim ay narealize ko na parang kami nalang pala ang hinihintay.
Tumikhim muna sya bago magsalita. Agad namang nakinig sakanya ang kanyang mga relatives kung hindi ako nagkakamali. It's a good thing that I dress up properly everytime dahil kung hindi, nako baka manliit na ako dito sapagkat napaka sophisticated ng mga taong nasa harapan ko ngayon.
Ngumiti lang ako and try not to act too awkward.
" Listen well all of you. My parents, my one and only sister, my grandparents, cousins and relatives. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you my dear wife. Valentine Melendez." Pakilala nya sakin.
Kinurot ko sya sa tagiliran habang nakangiti parin.
" Diba sabi mo girlfriend lang? What the hell Mr. Azamiko?"
" I'm sorry that was a slip of the tongue." sabi nya." I'm terribly sorry, my girlfriend but soon to be wife." He corrected
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang binawi nya ang sinabi nya.
" Congratulations kuya. Wow you really look like Tori. I almost thought it was her!" Sabi ni Liz na kapatid nya
" Come iha, have a seat. Lux must be fancying you a lot since he slipped his tongue and introduced you as his wife. He must be so lucky to have you. I'm his mother by the way. Frinsze Azamiko and this is my Husband Daniel Usaki Azamiko." Nakipag shake hands ako pagkatapos magpakilala.
" Nice to meet you po maam and sir." Sabi ko
" Oh dear she's too polite. Please call me tita or mom and call him dad nalang okay. We don't have to feel distant around here okay.
Tumango lang ako dahil mejo awkward yung pakiramdam ko pero masaya naman pala kahit pretend lang. Our family was never like this. Laging busy sa hospital at palaging missing in action. Kahit isang family gathering siguro wala akong maalala. I may thank the Azamiko family for letting me experience this kahit ngayon lang to.
The Azamiko family are very warm.
" Come back soon iha. Visit me sa villa when you have time okay. " Sabi ng mom ni Skyler.
Tumango lang ako.
" Let's go?" He held my hand and gently lead me to the elevator dahil tapos na ang birthday lunch nya.
Ngayon ko lang narealize na lagi nya akong binibigyan ng ganitong atensyon and never did once na naging thankful ako don. Ni minsan hindi ko sya tinignan bilang isang disenteng lalaki. Dahil buong akala ko isa syang babaero and I will never allow myself to love someone who change girls faster than changing clothes.

Alexander's POV
" Do you think he's okay?" Tanong ko kay Tyronne habang naglilinis ng mga baril at tumitiksim ng kape. s**t happens when he's in a bad mood.
" Ewan ko ba. Kanina pa yan. He arrived in a terrible state." Sagot ni Tyronne na ngayon ay ngumangatngat ng licorice candy.
" Damn it. I told her to wait so I can take her home." Parang batang nagdadabog kahit nakatingin sa kanyang mga papeles. " Now I know what dine and dash felt like."
" Hey boss. Do you want us to grab you some breakfast? It's been 2 hours since you talk to yourself. " Pagbabasag ko ng sariling mundo nya dahil kanina ko pa talaga napapansin na wala sya sa sarili.
Kung hindi pa sya naging Mafia Emperor. Siguro suki na sya ng Mental Institution kakausap nya ng sarili nya.
Was he even referring to Victoria?
" Do you want to die Levington?"
" No thank you. I'm too young to die." Sagot ko
Hinayaan ko nalang. Wala din namang kwenta kausap to minsan.
" I know you're cursing me again in your petty little brain. You know what, if you have nothing to do. Find Victoria and make surveillance of what she do and what she's about to do. Protect her if necessary. " Sabi nya
On the second thought. Hindi din sya masamang kausap.
Inayos ko lang yung mga baril ko at saka isinilid sa maliit metal box at saka gumayak.
This mission is not a mission. I will date her if I have to.
End of Alexander's Point of View
Once again, the room is filled with pitch black colors and only the flash from the computer is the source of light.
Victoria is concentrating while encoding the codes after she installed the virus on her newly bought computer.
She had a hard time cracking the codes because it was heavily guarded but after several attempts. There are files that appeared on her screen.
" Bingo."
She wasn't disappointed with what she found out.
A tear escaped from her eyes and smiled devilishly when she saw Azithere's photos holding a gun. And another photo of him is on the arena having a combat stance and it looks like he's on a fight.
The last photo she clicked is where Azithere in a seems to be underground Empire sitting in a Throne like seat. And she's even more surprised to read the last information she saw.
A MAFIA EMPEROR.
She almost lost her wits but she's even more amused than being astonished.
Victoria's POV
No, it can't be. Iyak tawa ako habang binabasa ng maigi ang lahat ng nakasulat sa file na may pangalan nya na may lamang mga impormasyon na hindi ko inakala.
Death counts.
Illegal transactions completed.
Bombing.
At ang nagpainit ng dugo ko ay isa sya sa organizer ng abduction when I was 13. How can he sleep now when evil deeds were done daily and how can such a person with innocent face do such deeds.
My heart is still beating loudly after I read some of the informations I found on that single code. Much less if I crack all the codes I take photos with.
Azithere is not just an ordinary Mafia. He's the mastermind of All evils.
This is exhilarating. I never killed someone I love for the sake of the organization. But I guess this time I might push myself to limits. The Dark Web is not a place to make people suffer and they don't have right to trample with them.
With Azithere being the Mafia Emperor. I'm pretty sure he's responsible also for some of the evil deeds in the dark web. Not to mention
Great, this is great. I have already given myself to you because I always guess you're worth it. I love you. I will always love you Azithere Azreal. So let's kill each other to death.
