The Mafia's Bride [Part 1] (HIATUS)

1

Achelous's POV:

Nakababa na ako sa private jet namin at hinanap ang mga tauhan ng pamilya ko na naghihintay para saakin.

Nang makita ko sila ay pinuntahan nila agad ako at kinuha ang mga dalahin ko.

Pumunta kami sa kotse at pinagbuksan nila ako ng pinto.

"Welcome back, master Achelous."
Sabi ni Sebastian. Tinanguan ko lang siya at pumasok sa kotse. I settled myself down and used my phone to look at any e-mails or messages from business partners or from the association.

I stopped scrolling through my inbox when i saw dad's email that was sent to me a few days ago. I sighed and decided to read it again.

"Come home. It's time."
Yan lang ang nakasulat. Napabuntong-hininga nalang ako at pinatay ang cellphone ko.

I looked at the window and saw the modern picturesque view of the city. Buildings, condominiums, malls, and many other business establishments reside here. Well, this is the modern business capital of the country so i expect no less.

"Kamusta si Mama? Is Artemis alright?"
Tanong ko kay Sebastian.

"Everything is well, Mrs. Rossignol is doing great on the shipping and exporting business and master Artemis is always at the top of her class. Everything's fine."
Sabi niya at tumango nalang ako.

"By the way master, do you want to visit the school first?"
Tanong niya saakin at napalingon uli ako sa bintana.

"Let's go to Imperial first."

"As you wish."

I stared at the window. It's been three years since i last stepped on the grounds of that school. Ang Imperial University for Elites ay isa sa mga pinaka-matanda at pinaka-magandang eskwelahan sa buong kontinente. Dito nagaral ang buong angkan namin at dito din naman isinasagawa ang aming family tradition. Lahat ng lalaki sa pamilya namin ay kailangang dito makahanap ng mapapangasawa.

Each one of us has to find a bride in this school or else we're stripped off of our family name and inheritance. And once makahanap na kami, we'll do great lengths just to keep her to ourselves. Stalking, possessiveness, obsessions, some of the casual things my family did. I shaked my head and chuckled to myself. I won't stoop down to their level and be a slave to my own emotions.

Kung ayaw saakin ng bride ko, then fine. Maghahanap nalang ako ng iba. It's that easy.

And the only reason I'm agreeing to do this is because i won't get my inheritance kapag hindi ako nakahanap ng mapapangasawa by the age of 18-21. If i don't get the inheritance, ibibigay ito kay Cronos na pinsan ko hanggang sa mag-right age na si Artemis para kunin muli ang ari-arian.

And i can't let that scumbag of a cousin get what's mine.

"We're here master Achelous."
Saad ni Sebastian kaya napatingin ako sa labas. Nakita ko ang naglalakihang gates ng Imperial at ang entrance nito sa gilid.

Bumaba ako ng kotse at pumunta sa entrance.

"Achelous Lois Rossignol. I'm here to visit the school."

"Saglit lang ho. Tatawagin ko po ang OIC."
Sabi nung guard na nakaduty at tumango ako. I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 1:30 pm.

"Sir Achelous?"
Napangiti ako nang makilala ko kung sino ang nagsalita.

"Manong Rodolfo! Officer-in- charge ka na pala ah!"
Sabi ko at nakipag-kamay sakanya.

"Ilang taon na rin tayong hindi nagkita sir Achelous! Nandito na ba kayo para maghanap?"
Tanong niya at tumango ako.

"Osiya! Pumasok na kayo. Mauuna na ako ha?"
Tinanguan ko siya bago ako dumiretso sa main halls ng eskwelahan.

"Oh my gosh girls...!"
"It's Achelouuus!!!"
"The prince is baaaaaaack!"

Napailing nalang ako. My fangirls haven't changed quiet a bit.

"Mygaaaaahd!"
"Kyaaaah!"
"Marry me Achelouuuus!"

As i turned around the corridors, i saw a group of students bullying another student.

"Awww! Sayo nalang yang milk tea ko! Mukhang hindi ka pa kase nakakatikim eh! Hahahaha!"

"Eto oh tubig! Para makatikim ka naman ng mamahaling tubig nerd!"

Mukhang tapos na sila. And they're right. Mukhang nerd ang babaeng ito. Puro pimples, makapal na salamin at weird fashion choice. Napailing ako. This is why i want a strong fiancee who won't back down to anyone and anything.

"What are you going to do? Cry about it? That's bo--"
Naputol ang pagbubulong ko sa sarili ko ng makita ko siyang tumayo at may tinawagan.

"Allie mukhang may bago tayong tatapusin. Hintayin mo ako sa likod ng school mamaya."
She hung up and smiled weirdly. Like something bad is going to happen.

"Damn these assholes. Picking on me just because i'm in this damn disguise!"

What.

I'm Achelous Lois Rossignol and this is how i met my bride.

Xionne's POV:

"P-please! We're sorry!"
Sabi ng isang estudyante habang nagmamakaawa siya sa paanan namin ni Alice.

"Do you hear someone talking Cayenne? Maybe it was an insect fluttering around."
Saad ni Alice at ngumisi ako.

"Ah, but this insect is huge. How should we get rid of it?"
The guy was on the verge of tears habang naguusap kami ni Alice. Probably because he saw how i brutally murdered his friends right in front of him.

"You know how they kill an insect right? Pinapalo nila or something like that?"
Tumango tango ako and chuckled lightly.

"Alright then!"

I swinged the bat to the student's head and before he could even scream, he was already dead.

I batted the body a few more times just to make sure that it's dead para hindi na kami masabit.

After that, binalot ni Alice sa garbage bag ang baseball bat bago itapon sa basurahan.

Hinubad na rin namin ang mga sweater namin dahil makikita nila ang dugo kapag lumabas kami. Itinago namin ito sa bag namen.

"Okay you ready?"
I asked her and she nodded. I counted one to three and we both screamed at the same time making the guards come our way.

"Anong nangyayari dito?!"
Tanong ng OIC at ng isang pang lady guard na kasama niya. I acted as if i didn't commit the murders and said;

"M-m-may n-nakita k-kaming m-mga b-b-bangkay!"
Nagkunwari akong ninenerbyos at natatakot habang nakayakap naman si Alice saakin at nagkunwaring nanginginig sa takot.

"Jusko! Sinong demonyo ang gagawa nito?!"
Saad ng OIC. Kaming dalawa. May angal ka doon?

"Oh sige! Magsiuwi na kayong dalawa! Magiingat kayo ha?! Maaring nandito pa ang gumawa nito! Alvarez! Tawagin mo ang headmaster at ang iba pang guards! Magpatawag din kayo ng pulis!"
Tumango kaming dalawa bago kami umalis sa lugar at dumiretso sa condo.

Napatawa nalang kaming dalawa ni Alice nang makarating kami sa condo.

"May silbi din pala itong disguise natin eh!"

"Oo nga WAHAHAHAHAHA!"

We laughed our asses off until our phone rang.

"It's her."
Umiwas ako ng tingin at dumiretso sa kwarto ko.

Tinanggal ko ang prosthetic mask at ang makapal na salamin pati na rin ang contac lenses ko bago ako dumiretso sa C.R para maligo.

"I hate you Mom."

I sighed and indulged myself in the nice, hot shower.

I'm Cayenne Yasuhiro by day, and Xionne Avery Rivas at night.

And this is how i met my groom.

A/N: di na po Achilles ang pangalan niya dito, Achelous na ho HAHAHAHAHAHA see you next week!!!
