Reincarnated in that Story

27

I fidgeted my fingers under the table as I secretly glanced at Lian's seat. Katabi noon si Havoc na seryosong nakaupo sa hapag-kainan na kaharap ko.

His face was blank as he stares at the glass water in front of him.

Base on what I read before, Havoc's obsession was never in first sight. Kundi dahil sa unti-unti nilang pagkilala sa isa't-isa.

You see, this dinner was not only about being back at their own household but also about in arrange marriage for the one of the future pride in Fortelia Family, Havoc and the only daughter of the Qwen family, Lian.

Fortunately, the Family of Lian can not attend to this dinner because of some personal issues.

Sa ngayon, alam kong wala pang alam si Havoc sa Plano ng kanyang mga magulang.

For now, he doesn't care about the girl beside him, he just attend to this dinner because Mrs. Fortelia told him to sit on the chair and listen to the announcement later.

Pasimple ulit ako tumingin sa kinauupuan ni Lian at 'di mapigilang mamangha sa taglay nitong kagandahan.

Don't get me wrong, Aica and Lily's beauty was mesmerizing but Lian's beauty was elegant. How neatly she looks and act.

Kung binigyan lang ng katauhan ang salitang elegante, s'ya na 'yun.

'Like just look at her!'

She was spooning the rice, like a princess. Like she just mastered the subject of etiquettes.

Napabalik lang ako sa wisyo ng makarinig ako ng pagtingting ng isang metal na bagay sa isang glass of wine.

"Alright everyone, since everyone started eating, sasabihin ko na ang magandang balita sainyo. Para na din mas ganahan kayo sa pagkain!" Mrs. Fortelia chirped happily as she look all of us.

'Sa tingin mo, gaganahan pa sila?'

"Tsk! Just say it Mom," Iritado at tila inip na inip na ani ni Helix na ngayon ay katabi ko.

I secretly scoff at him as he kept adjusting his seat away from me.

'As if naman na gusto ko din s'yang katabi!'

That dominant side of Helix was freshly in graved in my mind. Tangina nila kasi! Bakit kasi nakabukas 'yung pintuan nila?

Dapat kasi si Kuya Hades na lang katabi ko. Tumingin naman ako sa direksyon ni Hades na kaharap ni Helix.

I heard Mr. Fortelia cleared his throat.

"So as you all know, This young lady named Lian. . ." Pabitin na saad nito at tinignan pa ang kanyang asawa.

I look around the people sitting in the table. The three heir of the mafioso, can't help but to show emotion in their faces, and that is curiosity. While Lian already knows what's happening yet her face plastered with a elegant but bored expression as she look at Mr. Fortelia.

Para bang napilitan lang s'yang pumunta dito sa mansyon ng pamilya.
As far as I can clearly remember, Lian's family have a big dept on the Fortelia's. The only way to pay that, is to forcefully marry their only daughter to the eldest Fortelia.
Almost the same of the situation of Aica.

The parents just exchange their knowing glances as they both look at Lian and Havoc.

"Havoc will marry Lian from the family Qwen, to established the good image of our mafioso organization," Anunsyo ng ama.

As I look at Havoc's direction, shock overtook his face.

Napatayo s'ya sa sinambit ng kanyang ama at 'di makapaniwalang tumingin sa magulang nya.
