"You're a disappointment! You can't marry the girl?! You're useless, stupid, bullshit son of a bitch!"

"I will not marry her because she's in love with someone else. I will not be the cause of her unhappiness. Hindi na ako susunod sa mga utos ninyo. I will stand for what I wanted. I don't care about your empire, your wealth. I don't care anymore."

"Ginagalit mo talaga ako, tangina mo!" a hard punch knocked his face. Someone picked him up para lamang suntukin ng paulit-ulit. The hard glass wall hit him, making his back ached with intensity. "We need the Macapagals. You woo the girl or I'll kill you, asshole!"

And Dash woke up from that black scene. He could only hear voices. It echoed his brain, making him sweat with coldness. Hingal na hingal siyang bumangon. Kinuha ang nakahandang baso ng tubig sa gilid na mesa. Ininom 'yon.

Pinilig niya ang kanyang ulo. Sumasakit iyon dahil sa madilim na nasaksihan. He forced got up from bed and switched on the lights. Dahan-dahan na bumalik sa kama para umupo.

Mahabang minuto niyang pinakalma ang sarili hanggang sa humupa iyong sakit ng kanyang ulo. Sumasakit kasi iyon kapag pinipilit niyang aalahanin ang mga tao, boses na lumilitaw sa kanyang isipan.

It was already midnight when he glanced at the clock. Mula sa dingding ay dumapo ang mata niya sa computer na nasa gilid. When he thought an idea, he dragged himself at the seat in front and open the computer.

Pagkatapos, mabilis niyang tinipa ang kanyang pangalan.

Lumitaw ang isang official website ng isang law firm. He read the company's information to its services. May mga pangalan doon na ka-apelyido niya, pero ni isa sa mga 'yon ay hindi nagpakita sa kanya.

He opened another tab and typed his name. Right now, he browsed some articles dated years ago.

'Largest law firm's heir is engaged to a shipping-lines-company heiress'

He read the information about the engagement. It said that the Saravia patriarch had been long engaged through a deal with the Valencias. The family who owned one of the famous shipping lines in the country.

He read Emerald Valencia's name.

Ito ang sinasabi ni Fabian na engaged siya noon pero hindi natuloy ang kasal. For whatever reason? Ito bang Emerald ang babaeng mahal niya?

He clicked the photo in the article and stared Emerald. Was she? She was beautiful and pretty, not denying that. The kind of woman whose beauty could be looked up to.

Pero siya ba talaga? Bakit parang...

Then he found another article that said that that engagement had been called off. It had been because of personal reasons and the couple had decided to part ways mutually.

Hindi niya ito iisipin. Ang dapat niyang isipin kung bakit walang nakakatanda sa kanyang pamilya ang dumalaw sa kanya? May kinalaman ba ang lumitaw na imahe sa kanyang panaginip?

Was it real or just a dream?

Pinagtabuyan ba siya dahil hindi niya nasunod ang utos? Iyong utos na ba 'yon ay dahil hindi siya magpapakasal? Kay Emerald?

Daming tanong na gusto niyang masagot.

If she had been engaged with this lady, he supposed she knew him well. Baka matulong si Emerald sa mga bagay na natatakot ang mga kaibigan niyang gawin. They were hesistant to tell him anything. And he was desperate to know everything.
