It was already Monday. I endured the pain in my side that happened last Friday while we were inside the car. Elaina was sitting beside me, looking at the window but her hand was on my thigh and to be precise, under my skirt

Hindi naman na umangat ang kamay niya. She was only tapping on my thigh when she learned that I'm having another episode of panic attacks at hinayaan ko na lang na gawin niya ito. It somewhat calms me

Yes, kinakabahan ako and I don't know why. Siguro sa oras na pagtapak ko sa East Valley ay maraming mata na ang nakatingin sa akin and I do not know if my anxiety can handle that. Let's just say this girl has social anxiety 

Hey, even mafia bosses' mental health matters. Do you think we live with pure death and chaos? C'mon, that's absurd

Kinakabahan din ako dahil baka minamanmanan na kami ng mga utusan ng Spanish at Italian Mafia or even the Russian Mafia. If Nikitin's statement is really credible, then I will no longer trust the Russian Mafia, especially Zhakarov

Sobrang aga namin dumating sa academy and I am very thankful na walang media. The sky was cloudy and I hope hindi umulan. Elaina got out first at hinatak ako palabas. Narinig ko ang pagbulung-bulungan ng mga estudyante. I tried to not mind them as I pushed aside my anxiety in the process

Napansin siguro ni Elaina ito kaya tinignan niya ako "Hey, you okay?" tanong nito. I nodded "Yeah, medyo masama lang ang pakiramdam, that's all"

Nagpatuloy kaming naglakad sa classroom. Napansin kong walang masyadong tao nang pumasok kami but something was off

I knew someone was inside the classroom with us

Just before the knife hit my head, I caught it and glanced at the attacker "Very immature, Dian" sambit ko. Gulat na gulat naman si Elaina sa mga naganap as I kept her behind me. Hindi niya kilala ang muntikang bumutas sa ulo ko at kahit na kilala ko ito, hindi pa rin ako kampante na nasa iisang kwarto sila

The female who has the same height as mine clapped sarcastically. She removed the strands of her short hair from her face at ngumisi. Nakaupo siya sa upuan ng kaklase kong wala pa hanggang ngayon

"Oh please, I was near at killing you, Tavia" sagot nito. Elaina glanced at me and whispered "Sino siya, Octavia?" patanong nitong sabi 

"Meet your other sister-in-law, wifey, Obsidian Callista Valmont, the one who's 3 years older than me" the female waved her hand at Elaina. Oh, how I wish to cut those off

"Masyadong mababa ang guard mo, Trojan. You're getting weak" komento ni Obsidian. I only smirked at her and threw the dagger behind her, grazing her cheek

Hindi naman ito nakapagsalita agad habang tumusok sa pader ang kutsilyo "Octavia!" bulyaw ni Elaina sa akin but I ignored her. To deal with pests like my sister, I must show no mercy

Bigla namang tumawa na parang baliw si Obsidian. Ah yes, she's a masochist "I still haven't lost my touch, dear sister. Maling mali ka ng inakala" ani ko. She was still laughing hysterically na napansin ko ang paghigpit ng hawak sa aking braso ni Elaina

"What are you even doing here? Akala ko ba nasa France ka?" She stopped laughing and faced me "Well, pinapabalik ako nila Lola, you know, deal with your shits and stuff" sagot nito. Of course, she will be called back home after my marriage. After all, mas gusto siyang maging tagapagmana ng mafia at hindi ako 

Well, unfortunately for them, I won the gamble and won the title

"Anyways, congratulations on your marriage and hello, sister-in-law" Obsidian spoke as I threw her a dagger stare "Umuwi ka na bago pa ikaw makita ng ibang estudyante. Mag usap tayo sa Mafia Mansion" sabi ko as she nodded lazily, taking the knife out of the wall 

"Yeah, yeah, Miss Heiress. Ciao, sister-in-law!" Obsidian said na kinainis ko. When she left I looked at my hand, blood gushing down na mas lalong kinainis ko. Nahawakan ko pala ang blade ng kutsilyo, hindi yung handle

Naupo na kami sa upuan namin habang inilapag ko ang bag namin sa harapan namin. Elaina noticed it as her eyes widened, pulling out her handkerchief and tied it on my hand "Your sister is... a lot" sabi nito habang inaasikaso ang kamay ko, making me chuckle

"Yes, she is"

"Are you okay? Nabaril ka na nga, nasugatan ka pa" ani ni Elaina "Yeah, don't worry about a small wound. Mas masakit pa rin yung tama ng baril kaysa sa sugat ko sa kamay. I'm fine" 

"And... done! Hindi na siguro magdudugo kamay mo noh?" tanong ni Elaina. I checked my bleeding hand that was now wrapped with green handkerchief 

I rested my head on her shoulder as she fiddled with my bleeding hand, her other arm wrapped around me, keeping me close "Comfy?" tanong nito kaya naman tumango ako. Nagsipasukan na ang mga kaklase ko kaya naman umayos na ko ng upo

Some of them already walked in front of our table and I felt unease. Hinawakan naman ni Elaina ang kamay ko as she was the one who answered every question they asked

But one caught my attention, Paolo desperately ran to our desk as I kept a poker face "Hey, Octavia, hey. So you know what happened last time? I'm very very sorry about that just... tulungan mo ang Dad ko, Octavia! Please?!"

I snickered "I actually did it for my wife dahil natanggal siya sa pagiging President niya, sa kanya ka mag sorry, hindi sa kin" he stared at Elaina habang si Elaina naman ay napatingin sa akin

What can I say? Guerrero was the one who started such war between the Valmonts. Kung makikipag away siya kay Elaina, then better ruin their family too
