Flashback
I was in my second year college when I met the most popular guy in our university. His name was Sebastian Dela Rama. He's good looking, smart, rich and a varsity captain. Despite all of that he remained kind and humble. He's the epitome of a perfect guy.
His family is known. They are one of the richest family in the country. They owned five star hotels in Asia and America.
When our class knew that he will be our classmate, most of the girls are excited to go to school.
In a normal scenario, students like weekends and holidays, now my classmate were starting to hate it.
No class, no Sebastian Dela Rama. Simple as that.
Me? Well I also admire him, but I will never dream of him as my boyfriend. He is like an unreachable star. I will never be a match to him.
My father is just a manager in a 5 star hotel while his parents owned it. While my mom has a small business. I'm also a scholar. My parents can afford my tuition fee but I still chose to apply for a scholarship.
Our class will start in a few minutes. My classmates went inside our room. Then, I suddenly heard a commotion because the man of the hour arrived.
"Hi! Is this seat taken?" A guy said.
I was busy fixing my bag and I did not do an effort to look at the guy who asked me.
"No." I just said, still busy with my things.
I saw him seated beside.
"OMG! She's so lucky!"
"True! How I wish he just seat beside me."
"OMG! Seb looks really handsome!"
I keep hearing the murmuring of my classmates.
"Hi! I'm Sebastian Dela Rama. And you are?"
I felt myself stiffened upon hearing his name.
I look at him to see if he is really the Sebastian Dela Rama my classmates talks about.
My eyes widen when I saw a handsome guy beside me. He has a beautiful smile. This is the first time that I look at him this close.
"Oh My! She's really so lucky!"
I tried to compose myself.
"H-hi! I-im Aubree C-custodio." I can't help but to stuttered because I was freaking nervous.
He look at me, still smiling. "Oh so Aubree is your name. Nice to finally meet you Aubree."
Then he offer his hand to me.
I felt shy while accepting his hand.
"N-nice to f-finally meet you? W-what do you m-mean?"
He suddenly looked shy. "I have noticed you for a long time. I really want to introduce myself to you."
I wanted to scream and giggle but I need to control my self.
"Really? W-why?" Shocks! I stuttered again.
"Because I like you." He confessed to me.
Since then, Seb and I became close. He wanted to court me but I told him that I wasn't allowed to entertain a suitor until I reach at the age of 18. He respected that. We started as friends which as per him is a good foundation of a relationship.
And when I reached 18, he started to court me. He courted me in our house. He also became close to my family. That's why after 3 months of courtship, I said my yes to him.
Our relationship is nothing but blissful. After a year of our relationship, he decided to introduce me to his family. I feel so nervous. There a lot of things going on in my mind. Will they like me? Will they accept me? Are they okay with my family status?
We're already in front of their house.
"Nervous?" Seb asked me.
He squeezed my hand to relax me.
"Y-yes." I honestly told him.
"Relax okay?"
"Seb, what if they don't like me?" I asked him.
I really feel nervous.
"Sssshhh don't say that. Everything will be alright."
We went inside their mansion. Yes mansion. Their house is so big and look luxurious. It looks like a 5 star hotel. I kind of expected it from a Dela Rama.
We waited for his parents in the living room. Few minutes later, we saw her parents going their way.
His mom looks so elegant, with just one look you will know that her dress and jewelry are really expensive, not to mention his dad, he looks like the older version of Seb. His dad still looks young though.
"Mom, dad I like you to meet Aubree, my girlfriend."
"Good evening Sir, Ma'am" I greeted them with respect.
His mom looked at me from head to toe.
"Hello Aubree. Nice to finally meet you." His dad said.
He looks kind. Seb is right about his father. His mom didn't say anything. She just walk straight to their dining area. I was feeling anxious the whole dinner because its so awkward and no one is initiating a conversation.
"Aubree?" His dad call me.
"Yes sir."
"Just call me uncle."
"Yes u-uncle." I was a bit shy calling him uncle.
I look at Seb. He hold hand and smile at me.
"What your parents do for a living?"
"My dad works in a five star hotel as a manager. While my mom is managing a small business" I answered him.
His dad nodded while his mom remained quiet. If you'll think about it my mom and dad's work is okay. But it's still not enough with the Dela Rama knowing their family status.
"I heard you're a scholar in your university?" Her mom asked me.
"Yes Ma'am."
"Why do you need to apply for a scholarship? Does your parents can't afford to send you to school?" His mom asked me with a bit of insult.
"Ma!" Seb tried to stop her mom from insulting me.
I hold his hand and squeezed it. I look at him and smile for him to know that I'm okay.
"It's not like that. My parents can afford my tuition fee. It is my initiative to help them."
"Why do you need to help them? Are you guys having a financial problem?"
"Ma stop insulting my girlfriend!"
"I'm not insulting her. I just want to clear things out. You know that our family is not something to take lightly. Not just anyone deserve to be part of our family. And to tell you frankly I'm so disappointed in you."
I was surprised with her sudden outburst. While his dad remain quiet. This is what I am worried about. I know that they might not accept me because of our family status.
"I understand you Ma'am."
"Aubree!" Seb shouted at me.
"Good to hear that. You are not as naive as I thought. I think you know your place."
"I'm sorry Aubree" his dad said.
I just nodded and started to fix myself. I excused myself and went out of their house. I accepted the fact that they don't like me to be part of their family for now.
Seb followed me. "Bree!"
I face him. I bite my lower lips to hold back my tears.
"I'm sorry"
"It's okay Seb. I understand. Maybe for now we can't be together. But I will work hard for them to accept me." I smiled at him.
"Bree" Seb hug me tightly.
I hug him back.
"I love you Bree so so much."
"I know Seb and I love you too. But I guess our love is not enough to deserve each other."
He didn't answer. He just tighten his hug. I felt his tears in my shoulder.
"Sssshhh. Seb it's okay. In time, everything will be alright.
Seb sent me home. Before I went out he grab me and gave me a kiss. I felt his love in that kiss. I kiss him back.
After that night, I didn't see him anymore. His friend went to me to tell me that Seb went to America to continue his study.
He left me a letter.
Bree,
Sorry if I wasn't able to say goodbye to you in person.
My parents wants me to continue my study abroad to avoid you. Sorry if I wasn't able to stop them. Sorry if I need to leave you now.
But I know that even if they keep on pushing us apart my love for you will never change. You know how much I love you Bree. No one can replace you in my heart.
We'll see each other again Bree. I love you!
-Seb

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
