Six Months [Book 1: Playboy Series]

Prologue

I came back to Manila because of the incident that happened to my parents, and now being the heiress of the biggest company in the world will be difficult for me to face. They never involve me in the business in the first place because it's a dangerous world for me, at least that's what my mom said. I can't help but think I'll just be found dead somewhere, everyone wants the position I'm going to have, CEO of the biggest group of companies in world and I'm afraid I'll never be able to fulfill that job, and no one even knows me, my identity was kept a secret from the world, my whole existence was a secret. Upon going through a forest pathway, I saw a white rest house, I think this is the place I'm supposed to go. Hindi ko alam kung pipindutin ko ang doorbell, but as I went near it a couple of young women arrived, sabay-sabay silang dumating riding a van.

"Are we in the right place?" tanong ng babaeng maikli ang buhok.

"I think so, oh we can ask her" sambit ng isang naka-bun ang buhok.

"Uhm, hi! Is this the dela Questa rest house?" tanong ng nakalugay ang buhok.

"Uhm, I think so, this is the address the letter was from" sagot ko.

"Oh, so you are just like us, huh?" sambit ng naka-green na dress.

"Uhm, I think so?"

"Di ka pa sigurado" masungit na sambit ng naka-sunglasses.

"Uhm, I'm not sure becau--" I was cut off when someone called me.

"Italy? Italy!"

Napatingin ako sa gate, Marco Antonio running out of the rest house, he opened the gate at saka ako niyakap, only close family was told about my existence in this world, Marco Antonio is my closest family.

"I thought you wouldn't come" sambit niya.

"Well, I think you're right, I should at least use this opportunity to keep myself from everything before I reveal myself"

"That's good to hear, don't worry I'll help you, and uhm, the guy we reserve for you can help you too"

Napailing na lang ako, napilitan lang rin akong sumali rito ng dahil sa pinsan kong si Marco, his eyes went to the ladies behind me.

"You must be the other girls we picked"

"Yes, we are" masiglang sambit ng isa sa kanila.

"Let's go inside, I'll introduce you to the boys you'll need to win over" sambit ni Marco.

Nakasuot ako ng isang white shirt na naka-tuck in sa black pants ko at saka pinatungan ng gray long back cardigan, I also wore a mask and a black cap, nakalugay lang rin ang buhok ko, pumasok kami sa loob ng villa and I can't believe my eyes of what I am seeing, six other men who are very handsome and every girl can be head over heels for them, and they are also topless, well most of them, the guy in glasses and Marco are wearing their shirts.

"Oh, we have our girls" sambit ng mahaba ang buhok, hanggang balikat ito at mukhang rebonded pa.

"Come on, let's meet them" sambit ng naka-grey jogging shorts.

They all went to us, well not all of them, that guy in glasses stayed on his seat, he looks like he's in deep reading.

"Girls, these are the men you'll be trying to please and win over them, and whoever of you doesn't fall in love with us in six months will win three hundred fifty thousand pesos, just remember our only rule, do not fall in love with any of us, we can do anything you please to try us" paliwanag ni Marco.

"Why are you wearing a mask and a cap?" tanong ng naka-black na jogging pants.

He's looking at me, tinanggal ko ang cap ko and then my mask, they all looked at me silently, the man in glasses wasn't really paying attention to us.
