'Miss Io ito na po yung mga record na kailangan nyo tungkol sa mga applicants'nakangiteng bati ng kanyang sekretaryang si Beth. Nilapag ng kanyang secretary ang mga files sa kanyang lamesa at sininyasang umalis na. Inikot nya ang swivel chair nya paharap sa glass wall na nakaharap sa mga nagtataasang gusali ng Maynila. Nakikita nya ang lahat mula sa kinauupuan nya. Ngunit isang gusali lamang ang pinagtutuunan nya ng attensyon araw-araw. Isang gusali na animo higante sa laki at nagpapakita ng karangyaan at ito ang kilalang Casa De Madrigal. Isang sikat na Hotel and Restaurant all over the globe. Napangiti sya sa isipin ng pagbagsak ng estrakturang ito na tila isang toreng gumuguho.
Napalitan ang kaakit-akit na ngite nya ng isang emosyon. Naglalagablab at tila nagpupuyos sa matinding pagnanasang makapanakit. Isang emosyong daladala nya sa isang dekadang lumipas.
" Papabagsakin ko kayo makikita nyo!"
Sambit nya. Pagkatapos ay bumalik sa kanyang silya at itinuon ang attensyon sa mga papeles na dapat ay pirmahan.

Io's pov
"Miss Ioma Ferier, nice to meet you" nakangiteng bati ni Mr. Chua. He shake my hand and we started to take our order. Matapos kuhanin ng waiter ang order namin he started convincing me to invest sa itatayo nyang Hotel located in Marikina. My advantage, the percentage, and other more things that include our business deal.
Sa paguusap namin nahagip ng mga mata ko ang isang matipunong lalaki. He have those black mesmerizing eyes a jet blackhair, fair complexion, perfect set of white teeth and kissable luscious lips. Kahit nakasuot ng business attire makikita mo parin ang matipunong pangangatawan. He was a greek god and also one of those person who hurt me in the past....
"(ahem! ) Miss Io are you still listening " Mr. Chua interupted. I flushed from the situation. He may thought na I was checking out some random guy while he is talking.
"Miss Io, it's actually alright. Dumating din ako sa puntong yan. When I was on your age napapatingin din ako sa mga taong magaganda. No need to be ashamed of it" sabi ni Mr. Chua. My already red cheeks become more red.
"Mr. Damon"
"Ha? "
"I said that guy is Mr. Damon the most enigmatic bachelor. He is ruthless in his own way in managing his business. Pero dahil din doon he achieve the continuous success. That is why some people in the business world call him the Ice Prince. I don't wanna dissapoint you but their are humor and gossip na marami syang babaeng kasama everytime. Marami ngang nagaabang kung sino ang babaeng makakakuha ng nagyeyelo nyang puso and the first candidate is Bianca Madrigal. Are you familiar with the Casa de Madrigal. She is the one and only daughter of Madrigals."
Kung alam lang ni Mr. Chua.....
"Here is your order Ma'am, sir enjoy your dinner" sabi ng waiter. We started to eat and after that we close the deal. Umalis na si Mr. Chua saying how grateful he is and how I will not regret investing in his hotel. Pero ako nandito paren looking at him. The man that I had love.
Ang lalaking minahal ko at inalayan ko ng puso ko. Ang lalaking akala ko ay magpaparanas saken ng langit yun pala ay empyerno. Akala ko sya ang happy everafter ang prince charming na magpapakilala sakin ng salitang saya yun pala ay isang demonyo na magbibigay sakin ng hirap.
He betrayed me...... Pinaglaruan nila ako. Sya at ng demonyita kung kapatid. They make me feel worthless and trash me like a shit.
He make me feel love, but also hurt me in the most painful way. Ohhhhh boy!, look at him smiling habang ako sirang-sira. Wasak na wasak dahil sakanila.
I grab my glass of red wine and drink it. Drink till I forget the pain, the hurt, the betrayal. Ito ang kaibigan ko, ang pamilya ko. Im still looking at him questioning my self how someone look handsome be so evil..... Tangna masakit paren.
"Waiter! " sigaw ko at tinuro ko yung empty glass ko. He refill it again at umalis. I drink it, I decided na magcelebrate total Mr. Chua and I close a deal diba. Ano ba naman kung magcelebrate ako.
Tumayo sya pati narin ang mga kasama nya. He smile at the man who im guessing Mr. Fortez and shake his hand. He have this smile in his face that I wanna whip out. Ohh, look at that someone had close a deal. Hmmmmm!...... Let's just see if you can smile after kung kunin ang investor mo.
After that lumabas sya ng restaurant. Sumakay sya sa kotse nya the latest model ferarri. While I ride at my BMW. Sinigurado ko na hindi nya ako makikita habang nakasunod sa kanya. He park his car and enter the xxxx bar.Lumabas ako sa kotse ko at pumasok.
Dumeretso ako sa counter and order.
"Jack Daniels, please" i said. The bartender give me a flirtirous smile and give me a glass. Uhhh! Boys..
Hinanap ng mata ko ang lalaking yun,but my luck wala sya. He must be at the VIP area. Kaya I decided na total hindi naman ako makakapasok doon ill just wait for him and enjoy my self. Kahit ngayon lang I will lose my self at babalik sa dati.
———-
Nakakailang baso na ako and im still drinking. I my imagining it, but I think lalo pang lumalakas ang music and it's like parang tinatawag ako ng dancefloor to dance. Tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko and go to dancefloor.I dance like a hyena mixing with the crowd. Oh, boy im gonna enjoy this thanks to him. Im enjoying my self when a random guy dance with me noong una his fine pero habang tumatagal kung saan-saan na pumupulupot ang kamay nya. He pinch my but and that's the last straw. I slap him and push him.
"What the fuck? " he said with his angry face. He clinch his fist and ready to attack me. I just close my eyes and a wait for the comming pain. Pero wala.....
I started to open my eyes and see the man who was about to punch me laying on the floor holding his bleeding nose. Woaw! , that is gonna hurt baby. My savior grab my hand hindi ko alam kung saan nya ako dadalhin pero nakita ko ang sign na V. I. P. Yes!, makakapasok na ko. Nangnakapasok na kami hindi sya dumeretso sa V. I. P area. Lumiko sya at pumasok sa isang kwarto. Lumingon ako sa paligid. There is a king size bed (BED!!!!!). I look at the bed in horror as if kakainin ko. Oh my gosh!. Virgin pa ko....
"Don't worry hindi ko gagawin yang iniisip mo. Gusto ko lang magpahinga ka your drunk, Io........ "
I look at my savior slash soon to be rapist at parang pamilyar sya sakin? .....
"Zeke? " i asked. Pero bago pa sya tumugon ay nakatulog na ko..... At naramdaman ang mga matitipunong braso na bumuhat sakin............
