Hanggat hindi mo hahanapin sa google or internet ang resort na ito, saka ka lang mamangha at maaakit sa malaparaisong lugar na ito na napaliligiran ng asul na tubig dagat. Sa simpleng pangalan ng resort na ito, kabaliktaran ito Ng makikita mong ibat ibang angulo Ng resort na ito. Animoy dinala ka nito sa Greece sa anyo at sa klase ng mga struktura ng resort.
Mas lalong naging kaakit akit ang lugar na ito sa mga kulay berdeng puno na nakapaligid sa isla at sa hugis nito na ginamitan Ng makabagong architectural design na pinatag ang ilang bahagi Ng isla at tinayuan ng makabagong gusali at mga kagamitan na ang presyo ay katumbas Ng isang korporasyon.

"hoy" sabay tawa ng babaeng nanggulat.Si Kristel, isa sa mga receptionist ng resort. Abot tenga ang pagkakangiti na labas ang biloy sa dalawang pisngi.
"Ano ka ba? Bakit ka ba nangugulat?" sabay ayos sa kulay na pencil cut na palda ni Aaliyah, dahil hindi sanay sa 1 inch above the knee na palda, dagdag pa na para suman sa sobrang hapit sa kanya Ng balakang,lalo mejo may kaumbukan nyang butt, na madalas sinasabi ng kanyang mga kaklase na kolehiyo na asset nya.
"hahaha, eh pano po parang ang layo ng tingin mo, hindi mo naramdaman ang kagandahan ko, ano ba tinitingnan mo?" sabay dikit sa mukha ni Aaliyah upang tingnan ang tinitingnan ng kaibigan. Isang grupo ng dalawang lalaki at tatlong babae ang makikitang masayang nagtatampisaw sa infinity pool sa gilid ng resort na aninag sa salaming bubog ng resort. Base sa galaw ng limang kabataan at mga ngiti sa labi, mahuhulaan mo na enjoy na enjoy ang mga kabataan sa pagtatampisaw sa malawak na infinity pool.
"Ano meron sa kanila beshy?" sabay baling ng tingin kay Aaliyah na noon ay inalis na ang pagkakatitig sa mga kabataan at inayos na ang kanyang area sa front desk, dahil anumang oras ay baka may dumating ng mga guest ng resort.
"Wala, natutuwa lang ako pag masdan mga un, mga tunay na anak ng Diyos" sagot ni Aaliyah na walang halong inggit sa kanyang mga salita habang tinitingnan ang repleksyon sa maliit na salamin, pagkatapos mapagmasdan ang imahe sa salamin napangiti cya na makita maayos ang pagkakalagay nya ng make up sa mukha, lalo na ang kulay ng kanyang maninipis na labi na hindi na nya kailangan lagyan ng lipstik dahil natural itong mapula.
"ahahaha bakit di ba tayo anak ng Diyos?" may pagka OA na sambit ni Kristel sabay ikot ng kanyang mabibilog na mata.
"hoy beshy bunganga mo ang lakas baka marinig tayo ni tiger" sabay tingin sa paligid, ang tinutukoy na tiger ni Aaliyah ay si Ms Llorca, ang front desk resort manager. "Alam mo naman yun, bigla sumusulpot, mapagalitan na naman tayo"
"Hayaan mo siya, hindi naman tatawaging tigre un kung hindi laging nakasinghal at nakasigaw, kahit maliit na bagay galit agad at nag bubunganga" sagot ni Kristel sabay simangot. "Saka wag mo ibahin usapan, bakit mo naman nasabi na tunay na mga anak ng Diyos?" sabay nguso sa mga kabataan na patuloy na nagtatampisaw sa pool sa ganun kaagang oras.
"Magkano ba isang araw at isang gabi mag stay dito sa Bellarocca?" sabay balik na tanong ni Aaliyah sa katrabaho na kalaunan ay napalagayan na nya ng loob dahil masaya itong kasama at may pagka kalog.
"uhmmm", kunwari nag iisip na sagot ni Kristel at sabay turo ng daliri sa sentido na sinabayan ng taas ng eyeball. "Three thousand dollar"
"See? sino namang ordinaryong tao makaka afford sa ganitong kamahal na Hotel Resort? at dollar ha, hindi sa currency natin na Philippine Peso, pa two years na ako dito pero limang kapuwa Pilipino natin pa lang ang ang nakapag check in dito sa mala paraisong resort na ito" mahabang tugon ni Aaliyah
"Tama ka, Ung isa president ng Pilipinas at ung isa anak ng senador at ung tatlo mga kilalang business tycoon at lahat na mga foreigners mula sa iba't ibang bansa na parang galit sa pera kung makapag waldas"
"Morning, ano pinag chichismisan nyo?"
"As usual, late ka na Naman Josh" sambit ni Aaliyah sa kakarating na kasamahan sa front desk.
"Ano bago, eh lagi Naman yan late" dagdag ni Kristel na noon ay naghahanda na sa pag dagdating Ng mga guests Ng hotel.
"Aw, grabe sila oh" medyo may pagka kenkoy na sagot ni Joshua, habang inaayos ang necktie Ng hotel uniform.
"You're late again Joshua Sabater,!" malakas na bulyaw na nakapamewang ng front desk manager na si Ms Llorca na bigla lumitaw sa harap nila.
"Eh.." nauutal na sambit ni Joshua habang napakamot sa ulo. paktay ako nito sa loob loob nito sa sarili..kahit sanay na sila kung pao sila sitahin hindi parin siya masanay.
"Enough! alam ko na sasabihin mo, kesyo napasarap ka ng tulog kaya di ka nakaabot Ng shuttle bus, one more late Mr Sabater and take the consequence" Mahabang litanya ng kanilang front desk manager na hindi inaalis ang dalawang kamay sa bewang na akala mo reyna umasta.
"Yes ma'am!" nakayukong sambit ni Joshua na namumula ang mukha sa pagkapahiya, Buti na lang wala pang mga VIP guests Ng umaga Ng iyon, wala pa Naman itong pinipiling lugar kung manita Ng hotel staff.
"Now,go back to your work, any moment from now darating na mga VIP guest na Taiwanese, the VIP shuttle bus is on its way from the airport, oh kayong dalawa" sabay turo kina Kristel at Aaliyah na noon ay bisi bisihan kunwari sa pagbabasa at pag rereview Ng logbook nga VIP guests.
"yes ma'am?" sabay sambit at tingin Ng dalawang babae sa kanilang supervisor na mejo kinakabahan, sa dalawang taong Nila sa Bellarocca hotel and spa ay alam na Nila ugali nito.
"Once na dumating ang VIP shuttle, samahan nyo ako sa main entrance Ng hotel para salubungin ang mga Taiwanese guests"
"Yes ma'am, copy!" nagtataka man umuo na lang ang dalawa, Bakit kailangan Nila sumama, sa loob loob ng dalawa na nagkatinginan, pero hindi na sila kumontra dahil tumalikod na ito patungo sa manager's room.
"Ano meron at kailangan nating sumama sa kanya sa pagsalubong sa mga VIP guests sa main entrance nitong hotel" hindi napigilan na tanong ni Kristel sa mahinang tono sa takot na bigla na Naman itong lumitaw at tulad ni Joshua eh mabulyawan siya.
"Sana tinanong mo kanina" sagot ni Joshua na noon ay nag aayos Ng door cards Ng mga silid Ng hotel.
"Aba,aba,bumabawi ka ha, porke napagalitan ka" napapangiting sagot ni Kristel.
"Kayo dalawa, tumigil na kayo sa harutan nyo, alam mo Naman un bigla sumusulpot, marinig kayo, saka any moment magdadatingan na mga guests Ng hotel" sabat ni Aaliyah.
Sasagot pa sana si Joshua ng mapatuon ang mata nito sa main entrance Ng hotel na kahit nasa tatlumpong metro ang layo nito sa front desk at hindi maaring magkamali ang dalawa nyang mata sa kanyang nakikita.
"oh dedma ka, sino ba tinitingnan mo?" tanong ni Kristel sabay tingin sa main entrance Ng hotel kung saan nakatitig. "as usual lagi ka na lang ganyan kapag nakakakita ka ng napakagandang babae na papasok sa hotel na to, hindi ka na masanay, luwa na Naman mata mo" naiiling at napapangiting kantyaw ni Kristel kay Joshua.
"Duh, eh ano naman?" sagot nito na walang alis ang tingin sa babaeng kapapasok lang Ng hotel at ngaun ay papalapit sa Kanila sa front desk.
"Good morning ma'am! welcome to Bellarocca, How can I help you? nakangiting bati ni Aaliyah sa bagong dating na guest,kahit siya ay humanga sa taglay nitong ganda na animo ay buhay na manika sa suot nitong empire dress na kulay krema na binagayan Ng flat sandals, dagdag pa ang akala mo gatas na kulay Ng balat, kaya hindi nya masisi si Joshua na halos lumuwa ang mata sa pagkakatiitig sa babae.
"I need one presidential suite for four nights and five days, sagot Ng babae, sabay abot Ng gold card kay Aaliyah.
Agad inabot ni Aaliyah ang gold card agad para iswipe sa card machine. Ding! agad rumihistro sa machine ang 2.7 milyong halaga para sa apat na gabi at limang araw na mag stay Ng babe at ng Kasama nito kung meron man.
"Your card ma'am" , magalang at nakangiting abot ni Aaliyah sa card Ng babaeng guest na noon ay pinasusulat ni Joshua sa Logbook Ng VIP guest.
"You can enjoy all the amenities of the hotel ma'am, as well as our world class yacht for your island hopping during your stay. Paliwanag Naman ni Kristel.
"Thank you" , sagot Ng babae na nakangiti , By the way, my mom will come later please lead her way to my suite she is just a little bit late", kay Aaliyah ito nakatingin,
"It's my pleasure ma'am and please enjoy your stay" nakingiting sagot ni Aaliyah.
"Here's your room card ma'am" sabat ni Joshua na noon ay nagniningning sa pagkakatingin sa babae,
Lumapit ang isang male hotel staff upang Iguide ang babaeng guest patungo sa presidential suite. "This way ma'am, sabay alalay nito sa pag dala Ng luggage Ng VIP female guest.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ “I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
