Chapter One

__________

Laughter from the crowd is kind of annoying. My arms are wrapped in Gio's arms as he entertains some well-known in their industry. We're in fancy clothes and expensive accessories in this event. I was never amusees in this kind of gatherings even before, so boring, just all talking, fancy eating at the table and you should pay attention to your table manners because the eyes of high mighty businessmen and women will be judging you. 

I smiled as they laughed not to look out of space which I already am. I want to step out of this crowd, but I will still use my remaining patience before that. 

My hand moves up to cover my mouth as I move closer to Gio's ears. "I will be in the washroom." 

Gio just nodded and let me go. "Alright." 

I immediately left the crowd carrying the long gown I'm wearing and went to the bar. I sat in the high chair and ordered a drink.

Nilakbay ko ang mga mata sa kabuuan ng malaking hall. Nasa isang hotel kami at birthday ng kung sino. Dinala lang ako ni Gio as his date even I don't really like this kind of party. I just want to get off some steam.

Napasandal na lang ako counter ng bar nang may biglang palapit na lalaki sa gawi ko. Not just somebody because I know him. The way he walks like God. The way his eyebrow raise while looking at me. And how a smirk form in her luscious lips. Everything is familiar. His large frame towering me as he stop in front of me made me gritted my teeth.

"Esther," he softly mutters and took my hand. Lumapat ang mga labi niya sa likod ng palad ko.

Marahas kong binawi ang kamay. Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay at nang inabot sa akin ang order ko ay sumimsim ako roon habang pinagmamasdan siya.

The nerve of this guy!

He smiled awkwardly. "Don't you remember me? It's me, Lu-"

I nodded. "Yeah, I remember you. Don't you dare say your name." I hate it.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin nang masulyapan ko ang malaking tattoo niya sa braso. Pulang rosas na may mga tinik at umaapoy.

Nagliwanag ang mukha ni Lucius nang marinig mula sa akin na naalala ko siya. Of course, I would remember him. He is the first man on my bed after all. Kahit sino ay hindi makakalimutan ang una.

"How have you been?" Lucius asks. He's acting all friendly now? The audacity!

I rolled my eyes and stepped down on the high chair to have my exit, but he suddenly grabbed my waist and made me sit back on the high chair in an instant! I wasn't even able to blink! 

His hands didn't leave my waist as he felt my bare skin with his thumb. I'm freaking wearing a bare waist gown! 

"Escaping again?" his voice passes through my body and gets its way down there. Just so fucking hot.

My brows furrowed as I gaze up at him. His deep blue eyes seem to be moving like the crashing waves of the ocean. So beautiful, and I know that his eyes were his charm.

What does he mean by that? 

"I'm asking you nicely, Esther. How are you?" he repeated with a wider smile this time.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang una kong pupunahin, ang babago ba ng katawan niya o ang boses niyang nagbibigay ng kiliti sa akin.

Fuck, I'm such a pervert!

"I'm bored."

Lucius gave me that freaking smile that reminds me of his freaking face. That playful smile that appears so good on his thin lips, like some cosplayer, looks so neat like a sculpture. "By any chance, do you have a date? I assure you to have fun in my company."
