It seems like every girl in town has their eye on Harry Fortaleza. He is both extremely wealthy and strikingly good-looking. He reigned supreme over the entire world with undying grandeur. He was successful in all areas of his life, and the beautifu...
The launch of the TBB's newest club was a huge success, with some of the world's richest individuals in attendance. Cameras were flashing from various media outlets and the event was being broadcast on business channels. The sound of clicking champagne glasses and the lively chatter of the elite filled the room rhythmically.
Lenard playfully nudged Harry, saying, "Hey." He giggled and asked, "Are you with us? Layo ng iniisip mo eh,"
Max teased, "Looks like he left his heart at Villa Grande," as the other TBB members shared knowing glances.
Harry glared at his friends coldly.
It has been a month since the incident on the yacht, but he couldn't stop thinking about Liza every day. He desired her so much that he needed to distance himself to regain control. Kung susundin niya lang ang sariling kagustuhan at sigaw ng laman ay baka paulit-ulit niya na itong inangkin. That thought made him shiver, but in a good way.
Liza is not like the other women he has slept with. She's one-of-a-kind. Mahirap pero kakayanin niyang maghintay ng medyo mahaba-haba na panahon. Napailing na lang siya sa naisip.
"Get that evil grin off your faces," inis niyang wika sa mga kaibigan. But knowing his friends, mas lalo lamang siyang pinagtawanan ng mga ito.
"You don't have a private plane for nothing, Fortaleza," Noah laughed. "It's only 18 hours from here to the Philippines."
The rest of the boys agreed by raising their wine glasses.
Harry gave a tired grin. They have no idea what's going on in his head.
I think I'm losing my mind!
Liza's impact on him elicits a plethora of emotions that he is unable to articulate. Minsan natatakot na siya sa nararamdaman.
"Besides," Felix said. "Wala ka namang ambag sa usapan, kanina ka pa tahimik. "You can be useless at times, man," he joked, rolling his eyes at him. "Look what women can do." ngising wika niya sa mga kaibigan at makahulugang itinuro ng nguso ang direksyon ni Harry. "Look at him..." aniya at nagtawanan nang makahulugan. "Women can be a pain in the ass at times, you know."
He gulped down his wine and unconsciously muttered, "Yeah. My Liza is such a big pain in the ass." anito at napatingin sa malayo.
The TBB stopped their grins and giggles. They just looked at each other and shared a 'sabi-ko-na-nga-ba' look.
"Well," Walter exclaimed, eyeing his Rolex timepiece. "Let's consult the clock; it's already three PM in sunny Madrid," he sighed, glancing at Harry. "If you make a move now, you might just be lounging in Villa Grande by tomorrow night, around eight or nine."
Harry's friends shot him a look that could freeze fire, but it took him a moment to catch on to their meaning.
"Oh, Harry, sometimes you really can be dense! Move!" Alexander's voice was laced with exasperation.
When he finally came to his senses, ay sunod-sunod siyang napamura. What now, Harry?! "Hell yeah," he muttered. And just like that, kumarimpas na siya ng takbo paalis doon at tinakbo ang nakaparadang sasakyan at sinenyasan ang private driver na kailangan nilang magmadali. Then he made a call to his secretary.
"Good afternoon, Sir—"
"I need to be at Villa Grande tomorrow, so get hold of my pilot and have him ready," he cut off the secretary mid-greeting.
Bagamat gulat ay agad sumunod naman ang kanyang sekretarya. "Right away, Sir Harry."
