SERENATE

Chapter 1

NATE'S POV

Growing up in a rich and influential family is a great honor for me. My dad has spoiled me a lot, however every gift he gave me came as a result of high performance in class. When I was gifted my own private jet I was so happy.

It was one of my dreams to own a jet. I promised my dad I will come back home to the Philippines after I was done touring around the world. I wanted to explore and have fun before I set my mind to our company. I know it will be a very busy life after this but I have to face it. I need to take over the company and let my dad rest and enjoy the rest of his life.

I have travelled almost three quarter of world's beautiful countries including all the continents. But I was mesmerized by the islands I spotted when I visited Africa. It's a poor continent but it worthy. I think I will invest there soon. And I also visited the interiors and I realized there are so many children who needed help, when I get back home I will sit down with dad to decide what we may do to help them anyhow.

Growing up being rich hasn't made me a snob. I know where my dad came from, he struggled to get here and he always taught me to value anyone for we may not know what tomorrow may bring. We may be rich today and end up poor tomorrow.

So I always kept that in mind, which is to always respect anyone I meet regardless who they are. And that is what helped me when I toured in Africa I got so much love from the people there and I learned to live in there world.

When it comes to relationship and dating, I am a coward. I prefer not to date yet, I want to enjoy to the fullest may be in some time when I reach a certain age I will marry a descent woman to bear me an heir to the fortune we have. But for now no! I don't want any stress because of love. I have witnessed my high school and college friends suffer because of love. That was devastating. Well honestly I don't know anything about the so called love; I wonder how it feels to love someone. Well I don't care anyways I want to enjoy what life has to offer, fuck love for now.

So today is my last day to spend in America. This was my last country on my bucket list. Well honestly it's a beautiful and modernized country. It's not my first time to come here though, I have been here on vacations with my parents several time before I went to college in UK. But I always loved it here; especially New York, it's my favorite city.

Throughout my tour I have travelled with my personal security bodyguard named Brian Madrigal and I can say best buddy. He has been like a big brother to me. Being born alone as a child was boring sometimes. I spent most times with Madrigal, he was always there for me in every situation, and he knows me too much. I can say he is a brother to me than a mere guard.

I wake up feeling so tired after I got so drunk last night. My head is really aching now. Brian has just been laughing at me. I am not used to hard drinks and this man right here is really enjoying seeing me struggling with my hangover.

I am lying at the couch holding a pack of ice cube on my head. Well according to Brian it cures the headache. My other hand is holding my phone checking out the internet. Brian is currently having a cup of coffee as he is sitting at the dining table of the penthouse which I paid for our stay here.

"you should stop drinking young brother, I don't want to bring a dead body home" He laughed at me. I looked at him with a frown face. "Say it again you are dead. Well bro how comes you don't even get hangover for fucks sake, you are not normal dude"

He is now laughing so hard and that is making me angry now.

 "I started like you bro, just chill you will get used to it" he stood up and came closer to me. He showed me her phone.

 "Hey look at this fine girl here, she is a Filipina, man she is hot" I felt agitated as I wasn't even interested with women.

 I took the phone and my heart started beating so fast "She looks like a stripper for fucks sake, I can't even look at her, take her out of my sight Brian damn it".
