Wooed by the Mafia Prince himself...

A few hours earlier...

I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I've been driving around the city the whole fucking day. Kasalan 'to ng magaling kong ama, sukat ba namang gisingin ako ng pagkaaga aga just to what?

Napapailing na lang ako everytime I remember his small request daw.

I wonder if my dad had gone senile. Hah! That would be the day, pang headline news yun. Imagine, the feared tycoon mafia boss, Don Phillip Lucas, nabaliw!

Hahaha. Anak ng pusang baliw, ako yata ang magkakasayad eh.

Hindi ko maimagine, si dad? Like he's going to let anyone ridicule him and live to tell that, someone from the media at that. Impossible!

"Shit!" I hit my breaks hard when all of a sudden a black van cuts me. Going out of my sports car I yell, "what the hell man?" Nakakatatlong hakbang pa lang ako papalapit nang lumabas ang 'men in black'. "Fuck!" Halos nilipad ko pasakay ulit sa sasakyan and hit reverse. My tires squealed in protest, thank god sa umimbento ng power steering at smooth akong nakaikot pabalik sabay change gear and accelerate.

Phew. Tiningnan ko sa rear view mirror. My dad's goons are tailing behind me.

I scoff.

What's got into his mind? Like seriously? Gawain ba ng matinong ama 'to? I smile ironically. Yeah right, may matino bang mafia? But still, I expected a more better treatment as the heir of his empire and not be treated like one of his common commodity.

Bakit ako? He have what, like thousands of men in his disposal tapos ako ang napili niya? Even to a point of threatening me of my inheritance? Seriously? It's the twenty first century, who falls for such tricks?

What was that stupid suicide mission again? Ah, I snapped my fingers, seduce or kill a certain MIT geek. For crying out loud, a nerd? My reputation would take a huge blow and like hell I would let something like that happen.

Besides, what's so good about some MIT woman anyway? I can give them a hundred MIT's anytime of the day, so what's so special about that person? Come to think of it, is she an illegitimate daughter or something? She must be, right?

"Ahhhh! Damn it!" Hinampas ko ang manibela sa inis. Wala akong maisip na matinong dahilan and yes I just remembered, the theory of being an illegitimate daughter was out of the question because of the seducing part of the mission. Kung kapatid ko 'yun sa labas, of course, hindi ko pwedeng ikama.

To hell with it, iniliko ko ang sasakyan and I park it sa harap ng isang bar. Nakapagdesisyon nako, kahit patayin pako ni daddy, I will never ever go to that geek's house. Ever!

Fast Forward...

Mag-iisang oras nakong nakapark sa labas ng isang two story apartment. Madilim ang buong bahay, 'yung ilaw lang sa front door ang nakasindi. As far as I know, mag-isa lang ang babaeng 'to dito and yet, wala man lang gate or precautions aside from the CCTV? Dalawang bagay lang ang ibig sabihin neto, it's either she's over confident or too ugly to even think na may magkakamaling puntahan siya.

Hahaha. Baka nga nag nonovena pa para may gagong mangahas na tulad ko eh. Delikado ang kapogihan ko neto.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Bakit nga ba ako napapayag ni daddy?

I sneer at myself. May never ever pakong nalalaman pero heto ako now, I ended up obeying anyway. Kaya next time, never say never lalo na at ang wais na mafia king ang kalaban.
