I'm tired. It's not just because Chanel and I fought with Rius. I know he will choose her and not me. And I know that he will be more angry when he finds out that I was the reason why Chanel was rushed to the hospital. I didn't mean what happened but I feel that he won't believe me either, because the circulation between me and his best friend is always like that, I don't want to be jealous because at least he's young but why does there have to be a choice? Is he always? Why does he always have to come first when it comes to the two of us? This is so unfair. And it makes me feel like I'm the one who's a third party. That's why when the door of his penthouse opened and he was the one who opened it, I immediately stood up from my seat. "Where have you been?" I asked him. He didn't answer. He just went straight, got some water, drank it and put the glass down on the sink without even looking at me. "Are you from him?" I asked weakly. His tired eyes looked at me. It was full of emotions. Anger, regret, and most of all remorse. "What did you do to him?" He asked me. His voice was cold and full of fatigue, and pain. "I didn't-" "You hurt her!" He cut me off. I was so shocked about his sudden outburst. The glass he was holding fell and hit the floor. "I didn't hurt her.... I'm j-just-" "You just?..." He asked strongly, very angry and stepped closer to me. "You hurt her with your words! You know she has Leukemia! But what did you do!" I've never seen him this angry. If I was only a boy, maybe he would have hurt me. And d*mn it! My tears started to fall. I'm crying in front of him. The thought of him will hurt me just because of Chanel made my heart break into pieces.
Chapter 1
"And what about me?" I cried in front of him. "Aren't you going to ask if I'm okay?"
"This is not about you! Don't make a scene here and play a victim! You hurt her! She was rushed to the hospital because of you? Because of what? Huh?! You were jealous of her?! That's why you pushed her down the stairs?! "
"Gosh! D*mn it!..... He was the one who hurt me first!" I screamed. "If I had known that you would be angry, I would have let me be the one to push him down the stairs so that I could rush him to the hospital, right?"
"There was no accident! I saw the CCTV, you pushed me! Why are you lying if I saw you? She's sick-"
"Yes, he's sick, I know that!-"
"You know but you still chose to hurt-"
"Fuck! Is he that important to you?"
"Yes!" I stiffened. "She's my only family!. She's always good to me. She cares for me... She's always there when I need someone! So yes! She's that important to me. She's that important that I wish I was in her situation! I only the one who is sick-" after I heard those words I sl*pped him. Shaking with anger.
"I was there too!!" He stopped. And it's seems like he's shocked Of my words. But he just shook his head.
"I was there too when you have your breakdowns.... I was there cheering you up and watching your smiles. I was there before your success. I always there when you need someone to lean on.... And God knows the reason that I didn't leave you because I loved you..... You didn't see it because you only care about her. Fuck you! I am your girlfriend!" I cry. So much that I can't even breathe normally.
"I . Am. Your. Girlfriend!." I say it again. I can't be hurt by everything he makes me feel.
"Why do I feel like I'm the one who shares your love?" I asked weakly.
He didn't answer. He only looked at me, regretful. I cried so hard. So hard that I feel like I think I'm gonna d*e.
"Do you know how it feels? While I'm here doing my best badly to hold on for our relationship, you always give me a reason to let you go. While I'm here loving you...... You started liking someone else'? Cause, D*mn, it hurts .... So good!" I could hardly continue because I was struggling to breathe.
He's only standing there, looking at me with tears in his eyes.
"I can't loose myself just because I've been loving you!" I smiled bitterly.
Maybe we need to let go for our own good. Because no matter what we do, we can't force them to love us back.
My eyes turn sleepy. My vision blurred, I continued to struggle to breathe, and there! The surroundings are already dark.
And maybe this is not the right time for us, for him, and for me. How long will I gamble? I don't know anymore, because as long as I love him, I will continue to be blind. But this is wrong. From the beginning until now it's not right, I'm sorry.
Sky Amaris Valdez POV
Luck.
"Here!" Out of breath, I reached my brother with a weight of water to sprinkle the plant that mom planted while he was there with Papa having coffee and laughing.
"Make sure the plant doesn't drown, sky ha!" My mom shouted. I laughed at them.
"Don't worry, Mom. Kion knows this." I looked at them and glanced at my brother's angry face.
"I don't know how it will be done, sister! Why don't you stop and give it to Nanny?" His brows furrowed.
I moved the big burn while supporting you. I can't stand it either.
"Don't complain, Yaya yolly and Nana len are working too much. You should know at least do some chores." He only bothered me and took a broom.
I smiled at my lovely brother, grumpy and stubborn but obedient.
My life was perfect now, I don't really wish for anything more than this.
But it's not.
Am I wrong?
I was in a second year of college when my parents got into a car accident. They're comatose for several weeks until now.
I don't know how to start.
My brother stopped on his studies in senior high just to make sure I graduate first, he managed our business while I'm studying and helping him.
I'm in a meeting right with my brother kion, with the board member.
I could see their boredom while we were there.
"I don't think the youngest Valdez, can handle this. It's only a few years old and it's not obvious that he can handle this huge responsibility as the leader of a company. Shouldn't we have a new successor until Mr, Valdez wakes up? ?" One of the board member suggestions.
"I highly doubt that, this business owned by my father! I can't let it be given away and just look for a replacement just because he can't take over, I know my brother is still young but he will be the acting president of this company while I haven't been able to then, in the mean time, my brother will be your new president, I'll help him and guide him, how to manage this and I hope you'll help us too. It's hard but I hope you can help me."
The senior old lady smiled at me, "Don't worry, hija."
"If I can't do this, I'll let my sister take this responsibility. I have my own dreams but this is urgent and I don't think I can't manage this, it's just a first step, if I failed I'll take that as a lesson, please trust me, I'll do everything. I'll promise." Tears almost filled my eyes while listening to what my brother was saying.
It's a hectic weekend.
My brother and I hardly see each other anymore because he is in the US for business abroad and that's when dad checks up on our parent's while I'm here in Manila burning my eyebrows.
Our mansion filled with so much loneliness. I could barely glance at the garden where we used to hang out every weekend. The plants between the fountains are wilting. Maybe it wasn't taken care of well.
Kion almost sent me the reports.
I sat in the chair provided for me while studying the reports. There is no prof today because this time is vacant and it is almost two hours so it is not that noisy, others like students are outside doing various things or finishing the allotted time for projects so the whole classroom is quiet.
"Aren't you tired after that?" I almost screamed when someone suddenly spoke behind me while looking at my laptop.
It's Lucas.
I removed the glasses just to protect against the radiation caused by the laptop and looked at him carefully.
"It's necessary"
"I'm the one who gets tired for you." He said. I watched him carefully. He has this kind of angelic face. His thick eyebrows and brown eyes, pointed nose and clean cut hair, he looks like a model to me. Tall and not so dark and not so White.
I swallowed hard and laughed softly. "That's right, I'm young and the responsibility I'm facing is big.
He raised an eyebrow. "Too bad, if you want let's get married, so you can escape your responsibility." His playful tone did not escape.
I laughed mockingly. "Don't joke kid, I know what kind of person you are"
"Sorry," he laughed. "It's bad to always have your eyes soaked in gadgets, loosened up, you're still young." He said and smiled.
"I need to review the reports so..." I said slowly.
He smiled at me, his eyes twinkled. "Don't pressure yourself, okay?" He said before leaving the classroom.
I sighed and looked at my laptop. I typed a few before turning it off.
It's two o'clock. And I haven't eaten anything yet. I still have an hour to eat.
I left the classroom, it's gay! I was just talking to surrounded by a few women and men who are probably the same age as him. It's like the center of attraction because when he starts talking, everyone laughs.
How I wish I could be that easy.
They stopped laughing when Lucas turned, he winked at me, he smiled, I winked again. I looked away and sighed.
Before I continued walking, I heard the laughter there again, I just didn't know what it was.
I bought food and decided not to eat there.
The plants in the side row trees are beautiful to look at. The dry leaves where I was sitting scattered
Windy, quiet and peaceful. There I put down my bought food, the bag on the side and the laptop next to the food.
I tipped there again while slowly eating.
Minutes after I successfully finished the report, I smiled at my accomplishments.
"Is that done?" I almost screamed again because of that low voice.
I responded with a small smile and shook my head. "No, not really."
"When are we going to see Abby, the kid misses you" he frowned. "I don't understand this!" I looked at the laptop where his eyes were focused.
I shook my head and laughed softly. "You don't really understand that, this is not a project nor a lecture tho."
I said Turn off the laptop and put it in the bag.
I also spent a few hours at school before finally taking a break.
Mom, still! you go home
I don't know how to do this, I'm tired especially your youngest.
I sobbed softly. In the middle of my idle moments my phone beeped.
It's kion.
I immediately wiped my tears and got ready before answering his call.
"Hi sister!" It was the first time he opened it to me. He looked so stressed or am I missing something?
"Hello, how's your day?"
"Just fine, I just attended a meeting earlier but it ended right away. Is that you?" I smiled at my lovely brother.
"You looked a bit stressed, kion. ... Anyway I'm thinking ..... I'm going home to Batangas"
"Why?"
"I'm a bit pressured when I'm there at the mansion"
"Are you sure sister?"
"Yup.... I'll start there and there's another resthouse over there. I'll just be there."
"If you really want sister. Just to be safe. The investigation into Mom and Dad's accident is not over yet, but there is a suspicion that it was intentional, so I hope you will be careful."
I don't know who was behind that accident but in the past I felt like someone was following looked around the house.
I'm gonna miss this.
Then got in and started the car. I was driving the car slowly and smoothly when I noticed the two motorcyclists behind.
At first, I thought it was just one of those driving on the road, but when I noticed that every time I turned, they followed.
I drove the car fast, from one sixty to one eighty. Regardless of the cars I'm overtaking.
It was even more confirmed that they were following me when they tried to chase me.
I pushed you harder and turned you onto a wider road.
I turned again on the side mirror. They disappeared. I slowed down and calmed down as my heart pounded.
From one eighty to one fifty to one forty. I looked again in the side mirror, they were really gone.
It was three in the afternoon when I arrived in Batangas, the flight was too long and I had to report to a private investigator first so it took me even longer.
The first time I looked at the resthouse, I felt better.
By the sea, the setting sun, and the flowers in the yard. The one that reminds me happily ala ala.
Meet.
I gently opened the gate, it was clean and well taken care of by the caretaker.
I will increase his salary.
The potted plant is arranged in a neat row next to the outdoor seating, with a pole on the side and the light is placed right there.
I went inside the house. The furniture there is not so dusty, it looks like this house has been fixed. I also saw there our photos and papa's paintings of mom.
I also opened the room and my suspicion was correct that it hadn't been moved at all. What was right then is still right now.
I organized my stuff and put it in the walk in closet. I didn't bring much because I thought I was going to shop here but the tiange seems to be far from here.
My phone rang again, now it was Lucas calling.
I could already feel the tension in his voice.
"You're an idiot! You didn't even say anything!" He complained on the other line.
I laughed, "Come on, if I say goodbye, maybe you'll feel better."
"You left Dren and me here!"
"Wow! You don't want that, can you solo him?" I'm mocking.
"Of course I want to." He whispered. I burst out laughing. "How long have you been there?"
"Until I graduate!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"What about what?"
"He's in the US, Luc. He knows I'm here and besides, I'm not stressed here." I explain.
I didn't realize that I was sleeping with Lucas on the other line.
I just woke up feeling hungry. It's five in the morning. I saw his last chats with me.
Lucas: Goodnight! -,-!!
With angry face, I giggled.
I always do my routine with only hot water in the morning. I sat on the chair outside and watched the sunrise.
The wind biting my skin, and the quiet surroundings where I could only hear the waves and their lapping on the beach.
I've been sitting there for a few minutes and the hot water I've been drinking has run out and I'm still there.
I can't get enough of this beautiful moment. After a few more minutes of contemplation, the silence was broken by some tourists walking in the distance near the beach.
Three girls and two boys. Four are first and one is last to walk.
I turned to the sea. After a while I will come in.
The noise in the distance is getting closer and closer. I turned there and found them looking at me.
The girl with the short hair approached me and waved.
As he approached, he smiled at me. "Hi!"
I smiled too. "Hello?"
"I just want to say that your house looks so good." She said. He looked back at the house and turned to me with a smile.
"Ah yeah... They always said that, actually." I smiled.
His companions approached.
"Who's that? Karen?" A question to the blonde haired.
"I don't know...." He turned to me. "Your name?"
"Sky" I answered.
"This is maitai." Sha said Pointing to the wavy hair at the same time.
"And her twin, Maica." Now the blonde is the one who taught him.
"And this is, Ryle" to a mestizo boy. I turned behind him, .
"Rius." He was the one who said his name in a low voice, he didn't smile and he didn't frown, just that his ex had a stuckness that I didn't know.
I bit my tongue.
What was I thinking ah!
To Be Continued...
Hi, I'm Sammy Vazquez Falcon, I'm intersex. I fell in love with my friend, Margaret Reyes Vergara. And my brother's name, Rocky Vasquez Falcon. "Class dismissed..." Our teacher said. "Sammy, are you coming home right away? .. Marcus said. Marcus Montefalco has been my best friend since freshman year of high school. He is handsome, tall, his skin color is just right, and he is also smart. "Sammy .... Bridgette Revira's one also shouted. Beautiful, white, smart, kind but sometimes funny. "Don't shout. I'm not deaf..." I said as I bumped into him. "said Bridgette. "What about Leona?..... Marcus asked. Maybe looking for a chixx hehehehe.... Bridgette said. Who searched nagchixxx .... Leona Binetez, who just arrived, said. "Hep², Let's go home. Where else are you going to talk.... What I just said to them. "What you say is that you avoid talking about your ex...." The three said at the same time, If you are a friend. By the way, I have an ex girlfriend before way back Junior high school named Rachelle Suarez, we broke up because she said she was straight, she didn't want to be in a relationship with a girl like that. To be honest, that part hurts me, about the fact that he doesn't know that I have a masculine penis. Only a few people know that I have something like that. Actually, If I'm really a woman..I'll choose what's appropriate for me, just in case I have junjun in between my thighs. And one more thing, I'm prettier hehehe, the male genitals are more dominant. Just think about how beautiful it is, the way it used to be. By the way, my friends and I were just senior high school you might ask..... We are here at the school gate near the parking area....well... Because we have a motorcycle... "Guys, I'm going to go first.... We have a family dinner because...," said Bridgette. "Me too..... Leona said. "Me too bro... Said Marcus. "Alright... Be careful... That's what I said. I also got on my motorcycle... Meanwhile............... As I was approaching the opposite side of the house... I saw a car parked.... I thought there might be a visitor. As I was about to enter the gate, I heard someone laughing... I guess it was my brother's friend. I also parked my motorcycle in the parking area. When I entered the house, I immediately saw my brother's friends, a mix of women and men. My brother saw me right away....I also looked around at his colleagues. Then I wished them all a good afternoon. My brother came close to me with a hug and a fistbump.. "Musta Ang school my double Kara... laughing My brother said... "Brother.... shut up.... I hit him at the same time.. why? Because we are already looking at each other as his friends... besides, there is also a temptation with me because they say I am more attractive than my brother. just charr.. You're not joking.....how about it Because I'm only wearing long sleeves and then tucking them in slacks If wearing with matching black shoes . I also told them that I was going up first to get dressed, before I could even go up, I felt that I saw something... at first.. I just didn't pay attention.... but I still looked. .. according to One of my brother's friend who is a girl....winked and even smirked at me. I just shook my head..... I still felt that I saw something in me but I just ignored it... then I continued to go up to the room.
Diego and I's wedding is tomorrow, so I'm fully prepared. For almost three years I was engaged to him, tomorrow I will be forever tied to the one I love. While I was pondering in the room, suddenly there was a knock. I was wondering, because it was early in the morning. But even so, I immediately got up and opened the door to whoever knocked. "Dieg—" I couldn't finish because it was Anastasia who knocked. I frowned at him because he was crying. "Bes..." he said to me and immediately hugged me. Confused though, I stroked his back and calmed him down. "What's going on?" I wondered. He didn't answer, instead he sobbed even more. I was confused so I immediately put it in front of me. "What is your problem?" I worry. "P-forgive me, Bes," he said which confused me even more. "What do you mean?" Before he could answer my question, two men I didn't know entered. I turned my gaze to Anastasia again who now had a serious face. "You and Diego can't get married. I'm pregnant and he's the father! I've been wanting to confess this to you for a long time! But he said, only after the wedding, so he can get his inheritance! But I can't do it anymore, Bes . I know you love him very much, but I can't let you be tied to each other forever!" I felt like the sky and the earth fell because of what I heard. My brain did not immediately process what he said. "What are you talking about? Diego can't do your accusations to me! He loves me and I can feel it!" I object. "We've been fooling you for a long time, Bes. Do you remember? Those days when Diego came home late to your house? He came to me first and do you know what we were doing?" I shook my head and my eyes started to blur because of the tears coming. "If you don't want to believe, Bes, pwes, watch it," he said. A man reached for his cell phone and immediately tapped on it. "Look," he said and immediately gave me his cell phone. "Look how much he enjoyed being with me." When I saw the videos of Diego and Anastasia pleasuring each other, my world suddenly disappeared. The pain I feel is like a heavy stone falling on my heart, falling into despair and trust. My knees went soft and I couldn't stop my vision from getting dark with so much pain and confusion. It felt like I was stabbed repeatedly in my heart. It hurts so much that what you thought really loved you, turned out to be just a big lie. I don't know how to speak or move. Anastasia's moans penetrated my being, and each passing moment felt like time piercing my being. "I told you, Bes. So if I'm yours, leave now and don't go through with the marriage. Run, Bes! Where he can't find you!"
It's twelve o'clock in the morning but my eyes are still wide open, hoping that he will come even after midnight. I'm trying to convince myself that maybe he went somewhere or maybe he bought some more surprises for me first, especially since it's our anniversary today, but at this time it's impossible that there are any stores open. My favorite cooked food and we always eat it every time we go out is cold, the candle that I have been changing every time the one I lit has run out. I slowly wiped the tears that escaped from my eyes, after which the waiter approached me. "Sir, let's put it away. It's already twelve o'clock and it looks like what you're waiting for won't come" was his sad voice that made me laugh out loud while trying not to cry. "Maybe, I'm sorry if I bothered you. It doesn't matter. I'll pay. I'm sorry I kept you waiting" I said shyly, especially since what time was it, they really waited patiently even past the time their job "Please don't, sir, your initial payment is enough. You don't have to pay again" he said with a smile that made me smile. Before I went home, I thanked them and asked for their patience, especially since I just waited for them for nothing. As soon as I walked out the door, the tears that I had been holding back quickly came to the fore. My eyes were blurry as I walked down the dark road to the nearest waiting shed. When I arrived, I immediately adjusted my appearance, especially since there were other people waiting for a ride. Even though my eyes were swollen shut, and it was obvious that I was crying a lot, I managed not to cry while sitting in front of many people. Somehow I can still control my emotions. Just a few minutes later, a taxi came by, so I got in. As soon as I got on board, I immediately told the driver where he was going to drop me off, and he also moved easily and didn't say anything else. During the flight, only weak sobs and cries that I could hear filled the entire car, I know that the driver felt my pain but he just let me go. During our three-year relationship with Kieth, I can barely feel his growing cold toward me. There were times when whenever I wanted to be clingy to him he would quickly avoid and turn his back on me. He also always forgets important days, like monthsarry and my birthday. His coldness only started when whenever something happened between us, I always made him use protection. Kieth is the type of man who is not satisfied and is not easily satisfied. He also has a narrow mind and his perspective is not open to other things. FLASHBACK "You're getting big, Jion! Every time something happens to us, you always put a condom on me, what do you think of me? A dirty man who has a lot of sex and is sick?! You're getting big with your tits!" What he was saying to me with a smile made me close my eyes because of the loudness of his voice. "N-it's not like that, I just want both of us to be protected" was my excuse that only made him angrier. "It's up to you! That bitch! You're still cleaning your pussy! I've hit you again! It's up to you!" he said furiously and stormed out of the room. END OF FLASHBACK As much as I wanted to tell him the real reason why I made him wear protection, I was afraid of his reaction. Because I'm a barrier. I am one of the small population of men who can carry people. And beyond that are the horrible comments we get from people. And Kieth was one of them. When I asked him about men who can carry people, he just laughed at me. That was also the day I wanted to confess the truth to him about my personality, but I didn't think to continue because of his spicy words that caused me to hide everything from him. "Those are children of the devil, I don't even know how they were formed. I have a strong feeling that they are children of Satan or maybe from another planet, who wouldn't be afraid? A man can get pregnant? I've been fooled" Those were the exact words that came out of Kieth's mouth, that's why even though I wanted to tell him about my condition, it was better to hide everything from him. That's why I was afraid of him knowing that I could get pregnant, so I always made him wear protection especially since there is a high possibility of me getting pregnant. And because of that, we often argue about that, this is what we always fight about especially because of his attitude that he should be the one who obeys in everything. Maybe that's why he was getting farther and farther away, until he was too far away and I couldn't catch up with him. "Sir we are here" I immediately turned around when the driver suddenly spoke, so I quickly paid and got out of the taxi. I walked towards our house absentmindedly. If only people could see me now, I'd be staggering like a zombie, looking like heaven and earth had fallen, but I didn't care anymore and went straight ahead. I was about to open the gate when I saw that the light in our room was on, a sign that Kieth was home. It's impossible that
In a small town, there are two loving hearts that find happiness and strength in each embrace. Wendell and I, our love seems eternal and never-ending. But with the passage of time, the course of fate changed. One night, in the middle of yesterday's fading away, a weight landed between us. The wind carried unspoken and unshed tears. In that moment, our lives changed completely. We sat in our favorite spot, looking out over the town reflecting our memories. Silence permeates the surroundings, and our feelings cry out for words. I looked at Wendell, hoping to see answers, but his eyes remained distant. "Alex," she whispered, her voice full of sadness and surrender. "I can't take this anymore. I can't stay in our relationship anymore." My heart suddenly fell, and I couldn't understand this sudden separation. "But... but why?" I managed to choke out, my voice cracking with the weight of my emotions. Wendell stared into the distance, unable to meet my eyes. "I've realized that I need to follow my dream of becoming a pilot. It's something I've always wanted, and I can't ignore it any longer." Pain shot through my chest, and I grabbed his hand hoping he would come back to me. "But what will happen to us? What will happen to the love we shared?" He removed his hand from mine, leaving me empty. "Sometimes dreams come first, Alex. I have to follow my dream and see where it takes me. I can't keep getting in the way." I couldn't stop the tears from flowing, and in the middle of my pain. I want to stop him, I want to hug him so he won't leave me but I can't. I understand, who am I to trade him for his dream, right? Who am I to stop him from fulfilling his dream? In order to achieve his dream, he has to destroy me with a ganto. Don't leave me please? Wendell. I'm pregnant. That's what he wanted to tell him just to stop him. But I can't, I can't. Because if I'm the one making the story between us, I'll choose him to reach his dream, rather than regret by my side. Days passed, and with each passing day, the pain did not go away. I tried to find strength in the support of friends and family, but losing Wendell continued to hurt my heart. The town where we fell in love has become a place of memories and sadness. I heard stories of Wendell's progress, as he moved forward with his dream of becoming a pilot. He flies through the skies, reaches the clouds, and leaves me on the ground, alone and hurt. His dedication and hard work show in every step he takes. And as I watched his success, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of pride and pain. Our paths may have diverged, but the memories of our love remain etched in my heart. I continue to walk the streets of our town, carrying the pain and memories of our love. And with every passing wind, I hope that one day, our paths can meet again, and our dreams can form again. And I hope that when we meet again, he will also know that he has a child with me, that he was the father when I was carrying him. You did fulfill your dream, but you left us as your child. I hope you're happy Wendell.
After getting chased by dogs and getting shot. I was called to the boss's office to give me another mission. Hi, I'm Shinhe Harukio, and if you think my name is too girly then don't talk to me because I don't give a f*ck. And of course, if you guessed that I'm half Japanese and half Filipino then you guessed right, my love. Im 27 years old. Im an assassin and a spy. I work for this secret company for years and im one of the top 2. I have a long obsidian hair like a girl. I braided it so it wouldn't get me distracted when shooting. "Ah! Shine, my favorite assassin." The boss flung both of his hands in the air welcoming me. "The one and only." I said proudly crossing my arms showing off my confidence. "Haha! Come let me treat you to some barbecue." The boss said and I groaned. "What's that? When you're free, you'll have me do something." I pout as he sighs then chuckles. "You really know me." He laughs but then nods. "But yeah, you guessed it right.." I groaned and ran my fingers through my long obsidian hair. "What is that?" I asked raising my one eyebrow. "Well, this is simple, no killing or stealing, I just want you to do is..---" he shows some picture of some big pearl in his tablet. "this. As you can see this is the pearl that we have been losing these past 2 years when the company got robbed." I nodded in agreement. "I want you to bet some big money at the betting market to get that back." He threw 2 big cases of money in front of me then smiled. "That's 50 million exactly." He grins at me and I frown. "We can just steal it back, why do we need to bet some money over it." I huff. "The market has a big guard over there and a lot of protection and securities." He sighs. "Now if you don't want it.. then, i guess i could just give this mission to the top 1.." he said and i started to get angry and sighs. "ALRIGHT!" I yelled. And before I knew it. I was riding into a very nice sports car towards the betting market with full of rich people. I wore a black suit that very much suits me and I braided my hair. I arrived at the place and I saw a crowded rich people already betting on a painting. I got passed through some people by saying excuse me and placing myself in front of the stage. After the betting the painting got sold for 10 million "Tsk. So cheap." I mumbled. After the painting got sent to the owner, the next betting item is the pearl my boss has been looking for. My eyes widened at how beautiful and shiny it was. The people started to get awestruck and started betting some large money. A guy behind me yelled. "10 million." His voice is cold and stern but loud. Not to mention his face is attractive. The seller was about to sell it to him when I yelled. "11 million!" All eyes went to me and the guy from behind me chuckled and I looked at him smirking. "20 million." The guy immediately said. The crowd went silent, the silence got replaced by the seller. "20 million? Anyone wants to go any higher? Going once.. going twi-" before the seller could even finish his sentence I spoke. "30 million." The seller was about to sell it to me when the guy from behind me yelled. "35 million." I glared at the guy and yelled. "50 million!!" The crowd looked at me with shock and the guy from behind me looked at me smirking. "50 million! Anyone wants to bet any higher? Going once.. going twice.." The crowd went to shock when the guy from behind me spoke. "200 million." The seller clapped and I looked at the guy shocked. "Sold to Mr. Iñego!"
I'm in the bar with my friends because we're celebrating Cassie's birthday. That's why you let us drink. I only drink a little because I can't go back to my boarding house. And I'm also not used to drinking a lot because I have a low tolerance when it comes to drinking, so I get drunk easily even with just a few shots. "Kai, bat you don't drink lets party. Don't be unfair to us don't worry too much just let it be wasted" he said then drank the wine he was holding and went to the dance floor. And Dani gave me a glass with only something to drink because I also didn't want to be unfair to them. Cassie is also right, that's why Kuna is worth it. I drank a few shots of tequila and now Dani and Cassie and I are dancing together with the people here at the bar. I was a bit dizzy so I left there and went to the counter. And suddenly someone approached me, a man who claimed to be handsome and energetic and he was carrying wine. "What are you new here? I just saw such a handsome man." he said and my face warmed up "Yes, I just came here. I'm with my friend because it's his birthday" I said and looked at the two friends who were going to dance with a man. "Anyway here drink this" he said with a frown on my forehead while looking at the glass he held out. "Don't worry it's free, I'm the owner of this bar and your new here so you need to drink one of this" he said and because I'm also curious what it tastes like because based on the bottle it's very different from I drank earlier.
