Mr. Martin patted Vincent's shoulder, "You don't have to, Jonah is a good woman and it's my pleasure to save his beloved son."
Vincent stood straight and smiled genuinely.
"By the way, we called you here because the School Director or let's say, the Director of the Erudite Charade wanted to talk to you." Mr. Martin said and smiled, "Congratulations for successfully saving the school."
I felt Vincent hold my hand. "It's our responsibility to save the school."
I smiled glancing at Vincent "It already became our second home."
"Good then." Mr. Martin stated, suddenly, he looked down raising his hand into his ear, seemed like listening to the earpiece in his right ear, and nodded.
He faced us once again, "Now, I wanted to introduce to you, Mr. Alfredo Malaya, the Erudite Charade Director."
A-Alfredo Malaya!? He was also the person who invited me here.
I immediately turned at my side to look at the door and was surprised to see, "You!?" Again, Vincent and I exclaimed in chorus.
This time I asked Vincent, "How did you know him?"
"He invited me to join this school." He answered with confusion in his face.
"He also invited me here..." I murmured.
Does it mean..?
"Nice to see you again Kelly and Vincent." Mr. Malaya stated with a smile while looking at us.
I was so shocked to know that the guy I have saved before, the guy who introduced me to the Academy... the guy who gave me the mentos was... Mr. Alfredo Malaya, the person who invited not just me but also Vincent.
"Was it all just a... set up?" I asked not believing what I discovered.
"You can say it that way... but everything that happened is your destiny. I wanted to thank you for saving the school and also... the world." He stated with all seriousness.
"What do you mean?" Vincent asked in total confusion. "You knew this would happen, didn't you?"
Mr. Malaya sighed and nodded, he walked near the window and then faced me, "I can see the future but not like you Kelly because you can also see the past." Then he turned to face the window, staring outside. "I was lost when I discovered the destruction but the moment I met Vincent... my vision changes..." He faced us "I could see, hope."
Now, I know who was the man with me in the plane when I dreamed about the destruction... it was him, Mr. Alfredo. His back and posture is telling me it was him.
"Is that the reason you invited me to join the school?" Vincent asked.
"Yes, I saw everything including the prophecy. That is why I stole the book of prophecy because it reveals hope and so I started moving... I also invited the other Protectors and Elementors. After a year, I went to Kelly and the rest. I brought you here in the school, to change the future..." Suddenly, his eyes held happiness, "and you succeeded."
So that is why, the book of prophecy disappeared according to Viona... Mr. Malaya stole it but for a good reason.
I smile, "Thank you so much for trusting us."
"No, I should be the one to thank you, by the way," he looked at Vincent, "You are already graduating but I still need you here for the school, if you don't mind I have a proposal for you." He said to Vincent which made me curious.
"What is it?" Vincent asked in a serious tone.
"I know your background and I have already talked to your father about my proposal, he agreed since you are still young to lead the Mafia World but the decision is up to you Vincent... The position for the Principal is Vacant, I am hoping that you will accept the position after you graduate, until the day your father needs you. So... what can you say?" He said and I gasped in surprise.
I will still see Vincent here in the school! Omo!
I felt Vincent stiffened but after a moment he looked at me and smiled as he sling his arm around my shoulder.
"I wanted to spend more time with my girl and your proposal is just perfect." He said to Mr. Malaya.
Mr. Malaya smiled widely, "I'll take that as a yes."
Vincent nodded, "So, is there something else we could be of help?"
Mr. Malaya shook his head "Everything is settled, it seems like you wanted some alone time, you could go now."
Without any more words, Vincent dragged me and so I just mouthed them "Thank you." Before we got out of the office.
"Hey, why are you rushing?" I asked Vincent.
"Nothing, I just want a moment with you." He stated with a smirk.
I smile, feeling my cheeks on heat.
*****
We are currently sitting on the bench looking at the field with students coming from different courses on view, having their own world.
Vincent was holding my hand as the silence envelope us. My head is leaning on his shoulder feeling the moment. I sighed comfortably.
"Kelly..." Vincent called.
"Hhmm?" I hummed in response.
"The truth is... I'm not really feeling well with the proposal of Mr. Malaya. It seems like danger awaits us." He stated.
I sat straight looking at him, "Then why did you accept it?"
Vincent is right, why didn't I think of it earlier? Mr. Malaya is the reason why we were here, he brought us together to save the school. His decision means... danger is coming.
He looked at me, deeply into my eyes "Because you are here, the moment he asked the proposal all I think is you. I can't leave you here knowing that danger might come."
He softly stated making me smile and my heart warmed with his words.
I couldn't help but hug him, "You are making me fall for you even more." I murmured.
He hugged me back as I felt him kiss my forehead "I love you so much, Kelly."
I closed my eyes feeling the moment "I love you more, Vincent."
Danger might be coming but as long as I am with my man. Love could destroy everything.
"Hey! Let us join!" I heard Kenneth yell from a distance.
We looked at him and saw all the Elementors and the rest of the Super 5 running towards us.
"Group hug!" Elena shouted and they jumped on us for a group hug.
Shit! They're heavy!
But as long as I have my friends and the man I love, we could defeat everything.
