All Of You

Chapter 1 (1of 2)

author's note (23may2023): first off, i want to say that although this story is not a full blown erotic romance like twisted and some of my other works, this story still contains strong language and sexual situations that are not suitable for minors. mature audience pa rin po ito. there are still sex scenes in this story 😆no kids, please pa rin po.

so ayun, happy reading! sana magustuhan niyo ito kahit hindi ito ang tipikal na sinusulat ko. may elements ng sci-fi at fantasy ang kwentong ito nina ivan at eleina 😆 sana magustuhan niyo 😄

"Mother, you're wasting your breath. I will never take over dad's company."

Tiim bagang na inayos ni Ivan Arkain Sevilla ang pagkakaparada ng kanyang motorsiklo sa gilid ng pader. Binunot niya ang susi sa ignition saka humakbang papunta sa direksyon ng maliit niyang apartment.

"How could you do this!" His mother's voice trembled on the other line. "You're our only son! Who else would inherit the company if not you? Naisip mo ba kung ano'ng mangyayari sa kompanya natin kung hindi mo 'yun patatakbuhin? Naisip mo ba kung ano'ng mangyayari sa pamilya natin? How could you turn your back on us like this?"

Shaking his head, Ivan shoved the keys in his pocket.

Nobody could lay on the guilt-trip like one's parents. He supposed every family had their own brand of bullshit. Some parents treated their children as investments and expected them to pull the family out of poverty. Some expected their offspring to carry on their dreams and ambitions as if the kids were extension of themselves. Some parents just didn't give a fuck. There were healthier families out there, he was sure, but one way or another, everyone's got their own bullshit.

"Ivan, you need to understand–"

"No, Mother," he bit out. "It's you who don't–"

"Ano bang ginagawa mo sa buhay mo?"

His jaw clamped down hard.

Ah, here the fuck it is.

"How old are you, Ivan? You're twenty-four and you still don't have a decent job. We didn't send you to all those private schools just so you could post practically naked pictures online. Your cousin Anselmo is running for vice mayor this coming election, your cousin Hanna just got into law school. Janna, who's two years younger than you, just got selected for this year's TOYM for social entrepreneurship. And you? What about you, Ivan? What have you been doing?"

His jaw hardened as he strode toward the stairs.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet his mother, the classic Asian parent comparing her kids to other people's kids as if it was her obligation to the future of mankind.

How fucking cliché.

Tiim labi siyang umakyat sa hagdan patungo sa pinto ng apartment. "I'm done discussing this. I'll talk to you later–"

"You're still painting?"

The condescending tone made his muscles lock.

He shut his eyes tight and breathed through his mouth. Could this day get anymore fucked up?

He just came from a 12-hour photoshoot that involved grease, dirt, and copious amount of fake blood. He had been running on 3 hours of sleep and he had just gotten off a 2-hour motorcycle drive.

He didn't need this shit.

Nagmulat siya at nagpatuloy sa pag-akyat ng hagdan. "Mother, this conversation is going nowhe–"
