Chapter 34

Georgianna's POV
"Ivan?"
I could hardly breathe. I felt my chest throb.
[I like it the way you say my name wife. So .. Sexy]
"What do you need? Isn't that dead ?!" I shout
I'm panicking !!
[You should check first before you leave. I don't die hahahahahaha. And you're going to pay what you did to me!]
"You beast! Why don't you just shut up? I will never marry you!"
[I don't care. As long as you were mine. Marriage is not a problem. I just want you to do something wife]
"Stop calling me wife! What do you need?" I begged the question
[I want you to continue our unfinish business. You're going to marry me without them knowing. Tell them you're going to marry me and everything will go fine. If you argue more with this. Matthew Alcantara will pay. I don't get money. I get life wife. And don't you ever tell them I call. Or else, they are going to die. Mark my words wife!]
"Damn you! What do you think of me fool? I won't follow you! I'm not your property and they would never die. It's you! Mark my words also Ivan!"
[See you sooner wife hahahahaha]
The line is broken. I dropped my phone and wiped my face.
"What will I do?"
I want to cry and scream out of frustration. But it is not possible. I'm not a child anymore. I'm already 22 !! I have to think. If I have to sacrifice. I will do.
"M-matt ... I-I'm sorry ...,"
***
I did not go to work and locked myself in the room. I'm so scared and frustrated. Kuya asked me what's wrong but I said nothing.
Am I right?
But how heavy I feel! I closed my eyes and restrained myself from crying. I don't care, I'll just cry. Tonight .., Ivan is coming. Tonight .. Will Matt and I end our relationship right away?
Why when it comes to this problem?
Will I be able to marry someone I don't love?
Is it right for me to sacrifice my happiness for the lives of the people I love?
My god! How did I end up in this situation?
I'm still happy but why is it like this?
Is it bad to be happy?
"Ahhh!" I threw one of my pillows at the door
Overthinking I was unaware of the darkness outside. I was startled when I heard a commotion in my chin. My chest throbbed knowing I knew what would happen to me next.
I ran downstairs and saw the person I was cursing I would never see again. He smirked at me.
"Georgy! Go back to your room!" Kuya Dave
"Why are you taking my wife away from me? We're going to be family anyways," Ivan
"Family you're face! Do you think I'll let you marry my sister! I'll die first before that happens!" Kuya Dave
I remained silent in my position. Not trusting my voice. I stared at Ivan as he held Kuya Dave on the shoulder.
"You can do nothing even you die when your sister really want to get us married!" Ivan
"What?" Dad
They all looked at me with astonished expressions. I gritted my teeth.
I hate you!
"Georgianna? What does he mean?" Mom
"Wife? Why don't you tell them that you want to get married with me?" Ivan smirked
"Georgy! What the fuck is this?" Kuya Dave
I was swallowed. I felt Ivan approach me and hug me.
I'm sorry ...
"Georgy?" Kuya Dave
"Yes, I will marry Ivan. If you don't want to and if you want to," I replied coldly
They frozed and stared at me in wide eyes.
"W-what? Are you kidding me? There's no way you're going to marry that f*cking jerk! Dammit!" Kuya Dave
"I can't believe you want to marry this man? What the hell did you do to her man!" Dad
Dad grabbed Ivan's collar. Before he could punch Ivan I pushed him. Even if I want to punch Ivan, I can't!
"Dad please! I'm going to marry him!" I beg you
"You hear her right? She wants us to get married!" Ivan
"H-honey .. Are you sure?" Mom
"Yes Celeste. She's pretty sure 'bout it," Jeffrey
Mom's body tensed when she saw Jeffrey. Dad quickly hid him behind him.
"Don't you dare touch my wife you assh*le!" Dad
"Nahhh! Stop! We don't need to fight if you're not going to take this issue further. Me and Georgianna? We're going to be married," Ivan
"W-why honey? I thought you love Matt?" Mom
"He's my bestfriend. I love him as just a friend,"
"A-allison?"
I almost wish I had just died then. I slowly looked at the person I loved the most.
"Matthew ...,"
"Is it true?" His eyes were full of pain
No !! I don't love him! I'm so sorry Matt!
"Yes ... And I'm sorry I love him,"
Georgianna's POV
His jaw clenched, "You're lying. Just yesterday you told me you love me! I can't believe it!"
"Believe me Matt. I'm sorry but .... n-I realized I just love you as a brother,"
"And that clearly states that she's in love with me, she only wants to get married with me and she's only mine," Ivan
I hate you !! Get ready for me! I'm sure your life will be hell Ivan!
I want to retract what I said but I can't. And I'm really felt sorry for it.
"I hate you!" Matt
After saying those words he walked outside the room. Walking out of my life.
Matthew's POV
"Dammit! I can't believe he wants to marry that demon!" I yell at Dave
Damn! I know Allison. What she said she mean it and she won't take it back. She loves me. And that won't change. What she states last night was clearly bluff! Ivan has something to do with this and I will find out. He can't take the woman I love away from me. For years we've been together. I can read her like an open book. I know him better than he does himself. Her eyes clearly tell me that she hatef what she says!
"Me too. Ivan has something to do with this. And I'm pretty sure he'd threaten her not tell us and just agree," Dave
"Damn but what is it? Georgianna can't marry Ivan! Never!" I slapped his desk
"We need to do something. We need to call somebody to stop this. We can do nothing but to kill Ivan and his father instead! If violence is needed, I will do it just don't hurt my brother!"
Georgianna's POV
I secretly cried all day in my office. It's like I don't want to wake up. Ivan made our wedding day easier. He wants us to get married in Saturday and Thursday now. Tomorrow we are leaving for Russia to perform the wedding.
Some days I avoid Mom and Dad. While Kuya Dave and Matt were clearly avoiding me. I know they are against and angry with me but this is also for them.
"Ma'am? Do you have a visitor?" Mindy
"Who?" I wiped away my tears
"Sir Matthew Ma"am," Mindy said
I immediately looked at the door. Shall I let him in or not? Before I could speak Matt came inside. I stood up and looked straight at him.
"M-Matt?"
"We need to talk Allison,"
I waited for Mindy to come out before she spoke.
"What did he say? I know you don't mean what you said. Please! Don't make it so hard for us. Tell me the truth Allison," Matt
Shall I say?
I stopped at the thought of him hugging me. Memories flood. I remember why I had to lie. Because I want them to be safe. But what's the point of Matt being safe if he'll be hurt for the rest of his life because I'm going to do this. I need to take the risk to be able to be free. I hugged him back.
"I'm sorry Matt !! I'm so sorry!" I cried
"It's okay. Tell me everything. So we can fix this,"
I told him everything. Starting with Ivan calling me, night and his threats. The expression on his face changed when I finished telling the story.
"We need to plan everything ..," Matt
"Plan? What's up?" I will ask
"Listen to me. You need to go to Russia and pretend we didn't talk. We'll be heading since my marriage won't start without your parents. This is so .. Nevermind. Whatever happens. You need to run okay? We'll finish everything, "Matt
"O-okay. Just promise me you'll be fine,"
He kissed my forehead, "Of course. I'll be back to you. I promised that,"
Georgianna's POV
"I hate you!" I said bitterly
"Hate me but you need to marry me wife," Ivan
"Once you marry me. I'll make sure you repent!" I threaten
"Shut up!" He hissed
I secretly laughed. Haha. I know Matt won"t let me down. We got off the plane and he pulled me into the car. I was out of balance and bumped into the window. I want to hit him with a hammer but not now. We just kept quiet until we got to their house. I was immediately dragged out by his guards into the house. We went upstairs and they left me inside the room then they locked me up.
Kuya and I have already agreed that they will not extend the wedding plan. Tonight there will be dinner between my family and Jeffrey"s Dad. That"s where they start the plan. They will spread our staff around the house for the guards. I don"t know what they will do next. But I hope all of this will be successful and no one will please any of them.
The night came. I was dressed in a black dress. I hid a knife under my dress in case I needed to.
"Allison?"
I quickly looked at Georgy who was smiling at me
"G-georgy?" I wondered
"I have something to tell you,"
***
I slowly went down the stairs. I immediately saw from a distance the people surrounding a table.
"My future wife is finally here!" Ivan
I sat down next to Big Brother Dave. I noticed Jaden just poker face me. Looks like he already knows. They were talking seriously when Ivan suddenly asked me. This is it!
"You must accept that your daughter wants to get married with me Timothy," Ivan smirked
"No. I didn't,"
I can feel his eyes narrowed on me. He cleared his throat.
"Wi ---,"
"I don't want to marry you! You just forced me!" I stand
"What the--," he was about to protest when Kuya Dave pointed a gun at him
Dad, on the other hand, gave Jeffrey a sharp stare.
"Do you even think what you were doing? You enter a lions cave having only knife to protect yourselves! If I were you, I'm going to bring that down," Jeffrey
"We need to go," Jaden pulled me out
"You stay ---,"
*Bang*Bang*
"Dad tss," Jaden complained
My eyes widened as Jeffrey's bloody body fell to the floor.
"D-damn you Ti--,"
*bang*
"DAD! YOU F*CKING ASSHOLE!"
I shouted when Ivan pulled out a gun. He was about to shoot Dad when Kuya Dave shoot him in his hands. I didn"t know what happened next when Jaden pulled me out. We haven't been able to get anyone to shoot us. We were hidden.
"Shit! Listen Gee! Take this gun and runaway! There's a car waiting for you outside. Nandun si Matt--,"
*BANG*
"GO !!!"
"W-what about you?" I will ask
"We can handle ourselves! You need to go. Now!"
I ran away from him. I heard a few more gunshots as I turned into a hallway. But I suddenly fell to my knees when I felt pain in my leg.
URGH! TINAMAAN AKO!
"Where are you going? You can't escape!"
"Ahhh!"
He pulled my hair up. I followed him on my heels. I could do nothing because he was holding my gun. We stopped and introduced me to the people who were just with me.
"Dammit! I told you to run!" Jaden
"He shot me!" I protest
"Lower your gun or I'll blow up this woman's head?"
"You must follow men!" Ivan
They did nothing and lowered their guns. Ivan walked towards me on his heels. He strangled me with his arm.
"Don't touch her !!" Kuya Dave
"No! No! I won't brother. But I'll make her choose hahahahaha,"
I heart stopped when two men walked in. With Matt in their hands.
"MATT!"
I stumbled back as Ivan pulled me up.
"No! No! You need to choose first wife," Ivan
"Choose? W-what do you mean?"
"It depends on you wife. The one will die and the other will live. You can only choose one but if you don't follow again. The rest of them will die,"
Georgianna's POV
"N-no! You're losing your mind!"
"YES! BECAUSE OF THIS FAMILY MY FATHER DIED. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AND YOU NEED TO SUFFER TOO !! NOW CHOOSE!" Ivan
One man stared at Matt and the other at Kuya Dave.
"N-no! Please! Don't! Have mercy!" I cried
"Mercy? It doesn't exist in my volcabulary Georgianna !," he grabbed my hand a put the gun that Jaden gave to me
"You choose you kill! Now!"
I sobbed. Please! Someone please save me.
"Save your brother Allison! Don't worry about me," Matt smiled sadly
"No! Save your boyfriend. I know how much you love him. Don't mind me. Shoot me now!" Kuya Dave
"I-I can't! I can't! No !!" I cried
"Faster Georgianna before I'll kill them all!" Ivan
I stared at Kuya. He smiled at me as if to say it was okay. That everything will be fine.
"Common Georgy. I understand," Kuya
I closed my eyes and pointed the gun at him. I know. I'm going to hate myself after doing this.
*Bang*bang*bang*
I blinked and looked at Ivan. He knelt down and grabbed her tyan.
"What the--,"
*bang*
"Ahhh!"
"Dammit! My sister is here Damon!" Kuya Dave
"I thought I already killed you?" Damon
I breathed a sigh of relief when Damon suddenly arrived. The men with guns pointed at Kuya and Matt lowered their weapons.
"HAHAHAHA DAMN! I'M ALMOST LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHA! I WIH I COULD PICTURE YOUR FACE GEE! YOU LOOK SO FUNNY!" Jaden
I was stunned, "Eh if I stab you it can!" I lifted my dress to reveal the knife hidden there.
"ALLISON!" Matt
"Sorry hahaha,"
*BANG*
"DAMMIT! STOP MURDERING SOMEONE IN FRONT OF MY SISTER! DAMON!" Kuya Dave
"I just can't help it," Damon said nothing
"Are you okay?" Matt asked
"Y-yes ..." I answered
"Georgy," I hugged Kuya
I'm really guilty of what I did before. I choose Matt over him. But I don't have a choice.
"I'm sorry Kuya," I cried
"Shh .. It's okay. I understand you Georgy. You love him and I don't want to live seeing you miserable because you chose me. Everything is okay now. Don't worry Georgy," He cooed
"Dramas !! Tss," Jaden
"Maybe I'd be happier if it was just Jaden,"
He glared at me. Dad was ready to go home since Mom was the only one at the hotel where they checked in. It's a good thing Mom isn't here. She'll totally freak out. I felt Matt's grip on my hand.
"That shows how much you love me," he whispered
"It's just charot, isn't it,"
"Allison!"
"Hahahahaha,"
We reached the outside. Scattered around were Dad"s people as well as Jeffrey who paid and merged with Dad"s power. They've planned it perfectly.
"You should drive her home. We just need to fix this," Dad
"Yes Sir," Matt
"Call me Tito, Matthew," He smiled
"Tito," Matt chuckles
We walked to the car we were going to use to catch my eye Damon walking away. I stopped.
"I need to thank him first," I looked at Matt
"Okay. Just don't fall for him," Matt
I rolled my eyes. I took a walk to catch up with him. I grabbed his arm and he stopped.
"Gian?" Damon
"I forgot to say this ... Thank you Damon. Because you came otherwise. I don't know what would happen if because of me I lost my older brother. Thank you, even ...,"
"Even you choose your best friend, left me and broke my heart? I understand. Besides, it was now crystal clear that it's not you I'd love. It's Georgianna or must I say the real Allison. But I still need to be sorry for what I've done. I asked you to be mine but left you when you needed me the most. I'm sorry to for dating your dearest enemy, that consider as cheating too. You deserve someone more better than me. You deserve that Asian guy waiting for you over there, "
I laughed, "You deserve someone too but not Sheena. She's no good for you. Just an umbrella sister haha,"
"Don't say that. I maye think you are jealous," he laughed softly
"But..where have you been?" I will ask
"Well ... I came back to US and started managing now my father's company. It also made me realized what I really felt towards you. I realize that maybe ... I should accept the fact that the girl I'd love was already long gone. It was best thing to do, "Damon
"I wish you goodluck Damon," he smiled
"I wish you the best Allison. Thank you also for making me realize everything,"

Georgianna's POV
After that night. We also went home immediately back to the country. Dad make sure that any trace or evidences was gone and Kuya Dave strictly make sure that no media will know what happened to Jeffrey and Ivan. I also discovered that Dad was once a Mafia's boss but stop focusing his whole attention on it when Mom came having us.
He promised Mom he won't go back again and lived like a normal family. But Dad was no choice but to used his Mafia influence and power to save us. With the death of Jeffrey and Ivan benefits us. Many Mafia lords thanks us for wiping their greatest enemy.
Damon and I were now friends. After our conversation he also returned immediately to the US to take care of his Dad's business. He was now a successful C.E.O of his Dad's company. Zeus and Francheska? They were now already married and have one new born baby boy. I am happy for them but sad at the same time because they chose to live in Canada. Cheska and I still communicating with each other.
Big Brother Dave? He's now enganged to who knows what her name is. We just heard that he is already engaged. We haven't met his fianceè yet but we can guaruntee that she's nice because Kuya told us she own some day care centers. She loves kid. Which I can guess that she's very caring.
Jaden? My good twin? He's still happy-go-lucky duh! He still doesn't have a woman to introduce to us. I guess that old playboy tss.
Me? I'd finally moved into a condo. Since my issue with Ivan is over. I asked Dad if I can move to a place I wanted to call as my own and he agreed. I'm still working on my own chains of hotel all over the country and my family was very supportive and proud of me. My lovelife? Me and Matt was officially in relationship. Nothing change with us. We both treat each other as if we are still best friends. I loved anyways.
I'm glad I realized how much I loved Matt. I have no regrets I chose him. We still haven't talked about marriage but I know that's also where we used to be. So far, I'm satisfied that he's with me and he's calling me as his. I'm his.
"Matt?" I call
I'm outside his house now. He texted me to pass by his house but it looks like no one is there. I turned the doorknob. My heart raced when it was unlocked. I walked slowly inside. All the lights around are off.
"M-matt? Are you there?" I shout
I flicked the light switch but instead it lit up. Dim light scattered all around the room. I gasped when I saw a table, two chairs in front of me.
"What the?"
"HAPPY 8TH MONTHSARY !!"
Matt came out of a room holding a boquet of white roses. He know I loved whites !! My eyes watered when he smiles and walks towards me.
"M-matt!"
"Happy monthsarry my love,"
I slowly picked up the boquet and sniffed. It was freshly picked !!
"Thank you! I appreciated it so much!" I hugged him
"Just for you," He kissed my forehead
He led me to the table. He serve our foods which he cooked. God! I admired this man so much! After she prepared the food we happily chatted while eating.
"Are you done?" He smiled
"Yup? Why? Don't tell me there's more?"
"Tss. It's not advanced to think, is it?" Matt
"Hahaha go ahead!"
He took my hand and we went out of his house together. We reached his car and he drove out. It was also about half an hour before we got to where we were going.
"Closed your eyes," he commanded
"I don't want that,"
"Common Allison!"
Hmmpp .. I closed my eyes. I could feel him putting on a blindfold.
"What is it for?" I wondered
"It's a suprise. Wait,"
"Matt!"
I heard the door open on my side. He held my hand and carefully supported me. I felt the pure sands on my feet.
"Where are we?" I will ask
"Take off the blindfold if you hear me do so, okay? Trust me. It's going to be okay," Matt
"M-matt! Hell! Don't leave me!"
I panicked when he unhold my hands. I shouted his name. Urgh! You're mine when I'm gone. I waited a few more minutes before he shouted.
"Take your blindfold Allison!"
I took a deep breath first before I removed my blindfold. I gasped when I saw a people holding one letter each person saying.
'WILL YOU. M.A.R.R.Y M.E '
"Oh my ...,"
Suddenly I burst into tears of joy. He's asking me to get married! To be part of his life!
He walked towards me and got down in one knee. I looked at him in watery eyes.
"I know I'm not perfect Allison. I'm not wealthy as you but I can work hard to give what you wanted and the life you deserve. We'd experienced so much that almost bring your life into danger. The day I thought you were gone, I realized that. You're the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life and I want you to know that. It hurt so much for me when I found out you weren't there. I thought .. II thought I already lost you but thanks to God. For that miracle. He will bring you again. He gave me a chance to be with you again. I don't want to take this any longer. I want you to be mine completely Allison. To be mine and me to be with you. Will you marry me my love and my besy friend? I swear, I'm going to love you for the rest of our lives, "Matt
I was even more moved to tears by Matt"s confession. I feel mixed emotions but only one cry of my brain and heart.
"Y-yes !! I'm marrying you !!"
"YES !!!"
He put the ring on me. Luckily, it fitted perfectly as if it was really made for me. He hugged me.
"I loved you Allison. Thank you so much!"
"I loved you too,"
Finally .. He made everything a reason. I love him so much. Maybe this was just the beginning of our relationship. We still have a lot to go through and I can only say one thing.
Whatever it is. Our loved ones will make us stronger so that we can pass all trials. I will not release this man. He made me complete, he made me feel loved and he never left me alone even in my worst time. I'm not perfect but I promised to loved him for the rest of my life.
Even it was in my enigmatic dream.
