The One

THE ONE: 015

Ion's POV

I was lying on my huge bed when my thoughts wandered on what happened earlier. I sent my secretary home when I am not that kind who's showing mercy to anyone except my parents.

I'm an unsympathetic kind of guy. I'm not showing any emotions to whomever. They might find my weakness and use it against me. I don't have any weakness though. But earlier, I don't know. I smiled like an idiot which is out of the way. I haven't got the faintest idea why I'm like this or that towards my secretary. I have this urge on me that I must protect her, take care of her and keep her from any harm the world could give.

Her bright smile and her pleasant face flashed on my head. I immediately grinned like a cheshire cat. I'm attracted to Sam but I don't like her. Fine, I like her as my secretary and not romantically.

(u sure Ion? Hahaha!)

Aside from that, Sam is quite familiar. The touch. Her smiles. Her sweet gestures and her dazzling eyes that got me mesmerized. The way she behaves and talk. It reminds me of someone. Where were you? Everytime my eyes gape at her, the past hunts me down. And it pains me. No one can hurt me aside from that nightmare. I'm longing for someone I don't even know the name.

I don't want to be reminded by it.

I tried forgeting that stupid 'love' but failed. No one knows about that certain event even my friends.

That circumstance made me for who I am right now. I work hard just to prove to my dad that I am worthy to be his heir. I have to make him proud and gain trust. For that, I will be able to find that certain person. I never stopped looking for her but my father told me so. Even before I started working on our businesses, I strive and even beg my dad to find her. I never lose my hopes but I got tired. My dad told me to trust in fate. If we're meant to meet each other again, then I have to wait for the right time. Dad told me that.

I stopped looking for her and gave my full attention to our line. I drowned my self on working just to get away from that.

I was once a happy-go-lucky kid. I'm a sunshine to this huge house. I always help our servers. My mom scolds me for that but I gave no heed. I love making friends and all. Though she's my fave. I love roaming aroud the mansion and make our helpers smile with my bright aura but that change when I turned 13. I turned into an aroggant asshole who doesn't give a f'ck in everything. I don't care about others feeling. I don't care if they're hurt because of me. I don't care if they lost their work. I just don't give a damn.

I turned into a cold-blooded guy. I don't care about other peoples opinion. I have my own rules. No one can dominate me. No one. Try me and you'll taste hell.

I tried closing my eyes but I'm not yet that sleepy. I don't what's happening on my body. Darn it. Yes, I'm here inside my room at the mansion. Sam's place is nearer from the mansion than my condo. I'm too lazy to drive there so I'll stay over here. I'm about to close my eyes again trying my luck to sleep again when I remembered something.

I stood up hastily to find that particular thing. I hope it's still here. I can't lost it. I scanned my room hoping to find that precious box.

I saw it on my hidden room vault. I keep my most important things there. I'm glad it's still in that place. My vault has it's password even though it's hidden. Must be safe.

I took the box and carefully placed it on my bed. It's not dusty just old. I slowly opened it and I felt my heart clenched. I don't easily get hurt but this is a different thing we're talking about. I don't take any weakness but seeing the things from past makes me frail.

I thought I'm already over on this but I'm so wrong for heaven's sake. I hate myself for this.

I slowly picked the sliding knot bracelet. She made this for me. I will forever treasure this. It was a black one and has a shell pendant. She said she made this herself by the beach while she's on vacation with her parents and thought of me. I can still remember her delighted face when I told her I love it.

There's a teddy bear with a brown bow on the side of the box. We both love playing cuddle. Cuddle is it's name. It was her who made that. She gave me that and told me, if she's away I can always count on cuddle to give me comfort and not to miss her. Silly right? I also gave her my fave teddy. I hope it's still with her wherever she is. I lifted cuddle and ceressed him. It made me miss you more, my cheekies.

I used to call her that 'cause of her cheeks. We were little and she has a bouncy and fluffy cheeks. She'll whine cutely if I pinch her cheeks for too long. And she likes calling me smarty. I always teach her if she not doing something correctly and explain to her why or I'll teach her if there's anything she doesn't know. I love to see her annoyed face when I boss her around. She'll just mimick my expression and won't listen to me anymore. Stubborn.

I checked the box again and I saw her last letter for me. I know she tried her best in writing nicely. I always scold her if her writing is grimy.

Hi smarty pants,
Please don't be mad at me. I left without saying byebye to you. Ma told me that we have to leave as soon as possible. She scold me when i tried to escape and go to you. Hehe. Please don't forget me. Cheekies will not forget Smarty forever.

-cutecute cheekies.

I laughed bitterly as I read the letter. She would have just written her name instead of that silly nickname I made for you.

I wanted to meet her and tell her that I'm not mad and I'm sorry because I wasn't there when they moved out. I should've wake up early to hug her for the last time. And I could've asked her mom where they will live so I could still visit and play with her.

I lost her. I lost my first love. I hope we can cross each others paths again. I would be the happiest. If only fate will let it come.

-Ion's point of view for y'all to have some glimpse of his past. Don't hesitate to tell me if naguguluhan kayo sa chapter nato I'll try to explain. Sorry if there's typos and errors. I rushed this chap hahaha. And thank you for this huhuhu. I wasn't expecting this. Thankkk uuu!

love,
