Thanks for reading!

"I WAS informed that you are now in your recovery, Dash," his grandfather started over the phone. There was no concern in his voice. Nasasaktan siya sa mga ganitong treatment ng pamilya niya noon, but now...it never affected him.

Kung nagtanong siya kung bakit walang pamilya niya ang dumalaw sa kanya habang nagpapagaling, it was understandable. It would shock him if his father would be concerned of him. His mother was a slave to his father. He could never convince her to leave him. Hindi niya alam kung anong nakita ng Mommy niya sa Daddy niya, but at some point, he understood love.

Nababaliw at natatanga tayo sa pag-ibig.

"Do you remember us now?" he could hear a light laugh. "It's a stupid stance of a lawyer to be negligent, Dash. Kilala ka pa namang magaling and your accident is such a shame because you were drunk driving."

He didn't speak, just let those nonsense words slip away. Nasanay na siya kaya hindi na masakit.

Hindi alam ni Dash kung gaano siya kalakas para hindi matibag sa ganitong trato ng pamilya.

"I called because I want to update you about your status in my inheritance game. And your father has always been desperate. He begged me to reconsider Emerald again since that Candreva woman doesn't like you."

"That Candreva woman has name," he growled. "And I'm not stupid. I know you know that I am not my father's son. I have a right to withdraw in that stupid game. Hindi ko kailangan ng mana mo at hindi ko gustong pamahalaan ang kompanya mo. I'm sorry, but I am fighting for the life I deserve."

Biglang humataw ng tawa ang Lolo niya. "I don't care if you don't want it, Dash. Your father's desperation will put you into danger."

It was out of this world if this man would be concern.

"Everyone's desperation has put me into danger."

Dash knew his cousin's doings. Levi had informed him about his incident that he wasn't entirely an accident. It was true that everyone had been desperate to the Saravia's wealth.

The game was to keep him safe and Fauna.

"Well, if you don't want this, the choice is yours. But I should have warned you about your father."

"Salamat sa hindi pagpilit sa akin."

"I just don't want Fernando to have this. And I know kapag napa-sa'yo ito ay alam kong hindi ka titigilan ng ama mo. He will do everything to infiltrate its management."

Wala siyang nasabi sa sinabi ng kanyang Lolo. Christiano Saravia was the law, the rule, the lion in the family. Hindi niya mawaring isipin na hindi ito nagpumilit.

"But if you can fight your father, then rule my company. I'll help you protect it from this hands."

He answered silence kasi hindi niya inaasahan ang mga salitang 'yon.

"Let's have a deal."

"I don't want to marry Emerald. Marriage is a requirement..."

"Then who you will marry?"

"Fauna," he firmly answered.

FAUNA joined the next day activity of the newly engaged couple. Isang yacht party exclusive only for Estella ands Diego's friends and their girlfriends and wives.

Gusto man niyang magmukmok sa kwarto at magsulat na lamang, pero hindi ito ang tamang oras para mag-isolate.

Revenge wasn't part of her life. She didn't know how to inflict revenge on someone. That thing was for cheap minded people. Anong nakain ni Dash at naisip nitong naghihiganti siya?
