MAFIA'S BRIDE (Mafia Bride)
Chapter 4: Temperament Meryn
Chapter 4: Temperament Meryn
“Yes. In the near future you will be my bride!”
Orlando's statement was a shock to Meryn to hear. He felt that this mafia man in front of him had indeed gone completely insane. How not? Just a week ago, Meryn got married before her party was destroyed by Orlando Dominic. Then he was kidnapped in this castle and exiled for one week. Then the man reappeared with statements about his family that Meryn could not believe at all. And now, she wants to be a bride instead?
Really am. Meryn still feels traumatized wearing a wedding dress. The trauma was caused by Orlando himself!
Unaccepting, Meryn immediately rejected Orlando's two hands that were gripping his shoulders. Fortunately, the man's grip was not as hard as before. Meryn could easily break away from this crazy man standing before her.
“Cast based! Tcuuihh!”
Meryn again spat in Orlando's face before running away leaving the crazy man in her room. While Meryn was away, Orlando who returned to being treated like trash was getting furious. He turned his body towards the mirror. Then punched the mirror while shouting full of emotion.
“Aaagghh!”
The dresser mirror immediately broke to Orlando. Her fingers shed fresh blood. But it was not enough to ease her turbulent emotions due to Meryn's trash-like treatment. The man shouted again while slashing the entire Meryn dressing table and slamming the items that were there.
“MERYYNN! AAGHH!”
BRUAAKK!
His breathing was still breathless as he stopped shouting Meryn's name while pounding the table. Apparently all that is still not enough to vent his anger caused by Meryn's attitude.
“That woman is so hard to break down! Stubborn .. like Luca.”
Elsewhere Meryn is running out of Dominic's castle. He did not know where to go when he was in the castle it was very torturous. This remote island is located in no way he knows— and can not even be detected with GPS coordinates. Meryn couldn't think of any other way to get off the island except to board the helicopter that brought Orlando.
From the direction of the gate, he saw another man walking with a leather bag and a suitcase. The man's face looked familiar. Meryn simply looked at him in silence until the man approached and greeted Meryn first.
“Nona Meryn, what do you do outside the castle?” greet Paulo to Meryn.
“Who are you?” meryn retorted suspiciously while narrowing her eyes.
The man reached out his right hand, greeting Meryn.
“Include, I'm Dominic's family advisor, Paulo.” The man introduced himself.
“Consigliere (mafia advisor)?”
He even smiled. “True. I am Mr. San Dominic's right hand man, and now serve Mr. Orlando Dominic.”
“San Dominic?” Meryn asked back.
“San Dominic is the father of Mr. Orlando, who used to be the leader of a mafia organization. He designed the construction of this secret artificial island, and founded the castle of Dominic. He died one year ago, and now his leadership is held by his only son, Mr. Orlando.” Paul explained.
Meryn was still unmoved digesting all those stories. Really the story about the mafia makes his head dizzy seven roving.
“You mean, this island is a secret island?” he said after a few seconds.
“True, Miss. No one can find this island except with a secret map that is only in the hands of Mr. Orlando and also me.”
Meryn's head nodded. He digested the sentence carefully until he felt he had found a gap in Paulo's words. While walking around the man, Meryn spoke, “No one can find this island without a secret map ... means it is still possible to leave this island without a secret map?”
Paulo smiled again. He is no less mysterious than Orlando Dominic. In a mafia organization, the position of being a consigliere is indeed a very important position. No wonder the man was as sneaky as Orlando. He is the right-hand man of the big mafia bosses, who used to deal and negotiate with outsiders.
“If you want to get off this island without using a map, there are two possibilities, Miss. First, the helicopter you are riding in will run out of fuel while still trying to find a route to the coast, then eventually fall into the sea. And secondly, the helicopter you are riding in will explode because Mr. Orlando has already set explosives inside the helicopter.”
The man might think under the explanation he was making Meryn scared and desperate to get away from this place. However, Meryn smiled at him. The woman brought her face closer to Paulo. While grinning, Meryn begged him, “You won't be able to kill me. Orlando the fucking mafia? He won't be able to kill me either!”
“You don't know Mr. Orlando yet. He can kill anyone, without exception.”
Hearing that, Meryn's steps away immediately stopped. It flips the body. Go back to Paulo.
“Then kill me right now!” shout Meryn. He gripped the suit that Paulo was wearing. Pulling a gun tucked behind a suit. He put the gun in Paulo's hand. Then he pointed the bulletless gun right on his forehead. “Kill me now if you can kill me. Fire me! Shoot!”
“What are you two doing?!”
From the direction of the terrace, Orlando suddenly came and shouted. He walked from the terrace with his furious face. Approaching Meryn who after spitting on her, now invites Paulo storm.
Upon Orlando's arrival in front of the two of them, Paulo reported. But he used Persian which Meryn could not understand.
“This woman of yours takes the storm first and asks how to escape from this island,” reported Paulo in Persian.
“He is not sane. Let it go.” Orlando answered in Persian, so that Meryn could not understand.
Seeing the two men speaking a language she could not understand, Meryn could only remain silent while looking suspiciously at the two.
“You till when do you deal with an insane person, Mister?” paulo asked, still in Persian.
Orlando was silent for a moment. He stared intently at Paulo and muttered, “Today you started sassy.”
At that moment Paulo fell silent.
“... Paulo, you can argue with me on business. But not with my women's business.” Orlando continued.
After nodding his head as his signature, Paulo left Orlando with Meryn in the castle grounds. As soon as Paulo left, Meryn immediately asked, “What are you guys talking about? Looks like you guys are talking about me.”
Orlando's gaze was fixed on Meryn. With a cold and serious face—though still handsome, the man replied, “I told him you are very beautiful.” Then walk away from Meryn.
Meryn's forehead frowned deeply. He's not stupid. He knew Orlando was lying. He followed Orlando's steps while urging him to tell the truth.
“Liar! You think I'm stupid? You can't possibly praise a woman with such a furious face. So what are you guys talking about?” meryn.
“Yes. I lied so you wouldn't get angry.” Orlando triggered while continuing to walk towards the gate. Didn't know where the man was going to leave the castle.
“You think I'm not mad to see you lying blatantly like that?” timpal Meryn's.
Feeling upset, Orlando stopped. He looked at Meryn with a confused face.
“Why are women so hard to understand? You'll be angry if I tell you the truth. That's why I lied. And I lied so you wouldn't get angry, but you still got angry? Why is the mind of women so complicated?” chirps Orlando.
“Then just tell me the truth! I'll still be angry, right?”
“Okey. I told Paulo that you were out of your mind.” The already desperate Orlando finally told the truth.
Meryn's face immediately growled. He was said to be insane by a murderer who had no conscience. Does that make any sense? How could he not be angry?
“What?!”
Meryn was angry at whatever the man said. From the beginning he had disliked the cold-blooded mafia who killed his family and locked him up on this cursed island. Meryn's hands clenched. He immediately punched Orlando in the stomach with all his might. Then walk ahead of the man. To the castle gate. Walking without direction and without purpose.
On the other hand, Orlando who had just gotten a light hit on the stomach, let out a long sigh while shaking his head.
“The temperament is amazing.”
