Romancing Dominance [BL][COMPLETED]

chapter 24 | romancing dominance

Growing up, I imagined my life as a perfect one. Although lapses were consistent, I myself do not care.

Dad spoiled me so much that I become too lenient.

"I already made everything ready. All you need to do was go, be present, and be one of the Buenavistas."

All that I imagined went crumbling in an instant as Dad announced it in his home office.

Nanghina akong naupo sa upuan paharap sa kaniya.

Dumbfounded, I stared at him waiting for him to continue that it was all a prank. But Dad never does pranks.

"Hernando Buenavista and I met, he discussed with me the marriage with you and his heir. Napagdesisyonan ko na mas makakabuting malayo ka dito. The place of Buenavistas is best for you, anak."

Alam ko kung gaano sumakit ang ulo ng daddy sa mga kabalustagan ko. 

I did all of it to have his attention, but Dad's decision to sell me off was not on my plan.

"Dad, bakit naman ganito? All I did was mistakes and I am sorry for it. Do you really have to send me off?"

I remembered crying. 

Nakatungo lang ako sa mga oras na 'yon.

My mind was all haywire.

"Hernando and the rest of the Buenavistas are a great help to me in winning the politics. Malaki ang tinatanaw kong utang sa kanila. Ang ipakasal ka sa anak niya ang isang bagay na hindi ko pwedeng ayawan."

Ever since my mind could understand, this kind of topic has always been prevalent to me.

Nanginginig ang mga labi kong tumango sa mga oras na 'yon. 

Silently, I agreed with his words.

Dad continued explaining to me how I will share a life together with the Buenavistas but I went blank after his announcement.

Naalala ko noon na habang humihingi ng unawa ang dad, sinabi niya sa akin na ang obligasyon na ito ay hindi para sa akin pero sa kapatid ko.

I know everything from the start but I hoped. 

Umasa ako. Naniwala ako.

"Isang kondisyon lang dad, leave politics the moment I will sign the marriage arrangement."

I was selfish. Politics made me do it. 

I hated the idea that I was sold off because I was a payment to a debt agreement.

Because of it everything was new to me. 

New feelings and new perspectives.

I have to go all through it.

"I am doing this not because I have no choice but because I love you, dad. I don't want you to stress over me. I will make you proud. Pangako."

I thought life in the spotlight is everybody's dream.

It was a dream come true for me. I was there—present at all the socialite events, attending parties, and forging our names.

It was the perfect life for me.

Dad was proud of all of my achievements and one of them was when at a young age, I was able to conquer mega corporations and took over.

I am not known for being a bratinela only. People see me as one, but business magnets saw me as a diamond in the industry.

At the age of 21, I was able to take down corporations and made those as Sandoval's subsidiary businesses.
