COLD AS ICE (JAVIER SERIES #1)

CHAPTER 1- HOW COULD THEY FORGET? (Edited)

HOW COULD THEY FORGET?

3rd person.

"you're boring Raven." The woman said as she put on her clothes disappointed by the way Raven acted in bed, not being able to get him hard.

Raven is staring at her with his cold emotionless eyes, not even remembering the woman's name, "Sayang malaki pa naman." Mahinang bulong ng babae bago ito umalis.

'Boring.'
'sayang'
'A. hole'

Things he would commonly hear from every woman that tries to sleep with him, things that might bruise a man's ego, but for Raven it's normal, very common in fact.

But he genuinely thinks that it's not his fault, women fall head over heels for him at first sight, wanting him, fantasizing about him ridiculously, craving him as if he's a food of some sort, but ends up getting disappointed with his real response.

He's not even bothered It's not his fault he can't feel anything about those women, he's not as romantic or h*rny as they thought he'd be.

Kahit pa noon ay sadyang 'manhid' na ang tawag ng mga tao sa kanya dahil sa lamig ng kanyang pakikitungo sa lahat, at na didismaya rin ang babaeng nagkakagusto sa kanya dahil sa kawalan n'ya ng emosyon.

He got out of bed, reaching for his glasses on the side table putting it on, he brushed his dark brown hair with his long fingers before he took a deep sigh and looked at the city lights outside his penthouse.

He zipped his pants, still smelling the woman's scent on the bed, the irritating scent of her perfume lingered around,
"Zion." He called his personal assistant, seconds later Zion walked in "Are you in need of assistance sir?" He stood up from the bed, "disposed the foam mattress, and the blankets, even the pillows." He commanded.

Zion nodded and started removing the mattress from the bed.

Raven got out of his room and went to the kitchen, where he took a wine from his mini bar and poured it on a wine glass.

Pumunta s'ya sa balkonahe para mag muni muni, sumimsim s'ya sa kaniyang wine. He can taste the bitterness and the sweet hint of the fermented grape on his velvety tongue, his addams apple bobbed as the liquid passes through his throat.

Tahimik at malayo siyang nakatingin, pinagmamasdan ang ganda ng mga ilaw na nag mumula matatangkad na mga gusali.

He can feel the cold breeze of the wind on his half naked body, he took out a stick of cigar from his pocket and lit it up.

He watched the lights of the city from his balcony while puffing some nicotine and drinking his favorite wine, with nothing but silence and the coldness of the night, lonely, yet somehow comforting, as it is the only comfort he knew.

He was reading through the application forms of the people who wanted to apply as his secretary.

The previous one had retired because of some health issues, So he offered some financial support for the man, because he served Raven for seven years, and he was just a very good friend.

As he was going through dozens and dozens of applications. One specific form catches his eyes, the name was so familiar, that it caught his attention immediately.

Kinuha niya ang papel at napataas ang mga kilay at, tila tumibok ng mabilisan ang malayelo niyang puso, he never even thought his heart was able to beat that fast after all this time.

Those beautiful eyes with thick natural lashes, He can vividly remember how those looked at him with so much fascination and delight.

he can still picture how she looked graceful as the hot rays of the sun touched her beautiful tan skin.
