Chapter One.

Dinner.

At the age of 6, my Mom always bring to the famous company named Lateemia company. I always asked my Mom why she always bring me there and she always say na...

"Dapat maging kagaya ka sa Daddy mo, Claudy"

"So smile and say na magiging isa ka 'ding CEO paglaki mo"

"You won't dissappoint Mommy, right baby?"

I don't know why but I always follow my Mom's orders and rules, she's not that strict at all, she's a caring and sweet mother that all kids may want her. May orphanage siyang pinatayo na para 'din sa akin pagkalaki ko. I have a brother named Wesley Cloudovious Contreras and we have an opposite attitudes into each other.

They say I'm a soft girl while him, they say he's a cold boy the same with our father. Ramdam ko naman na mahal ako ni Kuya, hindi ko lang alam kay Daddy na palagi ang atensyon ay nasa kapatid. I admit that favoritism in our home existed... and I think I don't care at all of it.

"Are you okay, Claudy?" my Mom suddenly asked me while we we are inside in the elevator, I smiled sweetly just like what she always want me to do.

"Yes Mommy, I am fine. Claudy is just nervous" I whispered the last words but that didn't save her hearing senses, she softly tapped my head and carressed my short wavy hair. She gave me a warm smile.

"You don't have to be nervous, Claudy... magpapakilala lang sa'yo ang Tita Soleina mo, you want to meet her also 'di bah?" I nodded and she laughed. "Your Tita Soleina look like a goddess like Claudy so don't be scared at her, okay?"

"Is Claudy a goddess, Mommy? I was not informed that I am now a goddess" I pouted and she even laughed more.

"Yes you are baby, you are very beautiful like your Mommy and Tita Soleina. Ready to meet her?" sa mga panahong 'yon ay wala talaga akong alam sa mga mangyayari sa buhay ko, sinusunod ko lang palagi ang ina kong palaging nagsasabi na I will be successful someday.

The elevator door opened and my Mom held my hand as we walked towards to an office. The gaurd outside opened the door and a tall stunning lady face us. She has this hazel brown eyes and a brown hair. She smiled at us and gave my Mom a kiss on both cheeks, she suddenly looked at down in me.

"Is this Claudy?" she was asking my Mom and we both nodded. "Oh my gosh! You really look alike, Claudia! Hey little fella! You're so pretty, did you know that?" tumango kaagad ako.

"Yeah... my Mom told me that I look like a goddess like you..." marahan siyang napatawa habang kinukurot pa ang kaliwang pisngi ko.

"That's true! Hii I am your Tita Soleina, nice to meet you Claudy" nakangiti niyang inilahad ang kamay niya sa akin so I smiled widely and accepted her beautiful hand.

"Nice to meet you po, Tita Soleina" I responded and she laughed again and looked at my mother. I decided to sit in her sofa and looked at the surroundings on her office.

Nag- usap sila ni Mommy tungkol sa ibang bagay kagaya ng mga anak nila. May tatlong anak si Tita Soleina at ang bunso niya ay babae, binigyan ako ng sandwich at juice ng secretary ni Tita at nakangiti ko itong tinanggap at agad kinain dahil nagugutom na 'din ako.

My nervousness went higher when I saw an all black man with a black pack on his back. Nakatayo ako malapit sa pinto at sa glass wall nito ay nakikita ko talaga ang nasa labas, nagtaka ako kung nasaan na 'yung gaurd na nakatayo kanina. Ginawa ko lahat para mapansin ako ni Mommy at Tita Soleina pero masyado talaga silang abala sa pag- uusap kaya wala akong nagawa kundi ang tumayo at maglakad patungo doon at patungo dito. I felt something strange what's gonna happen next...
