The Devil of My Life is My True Love

Chapter 1

Tristan's POV

I am Tristan Maximus. A simple son of a great businessman that owns the biggest Company of Jewelries in the World. An average student of a big time University, third year student, to be precise. Although Dad wants me to be the successor of our company, to be his heredero(tagapagmana)-- specifically, I chose to take Architecture as my Profession for the future, cause it was always my passion to express myself, I like art, as a whole. And the most reason I don't deserve to handle the Company?, I, M-my self-confidence is too fragile when it comes to business.

My Mom? She's out of the country, always.  My Mom is also related to businesses, actually, she's the CEO of Dad's Company. She maybe the CEO, but she's always acting like she's not.

What do I feel about it? Uhmm.. Nothing actually. I do know, how my life and must my life goes as a son of a royal family. Always alone, rarely given attentions. I'm not mad at them, I just miss them.

Maaga pa, nakaupo ako ngayon sa Bench na nasa Garden ng House namin, pag pasok mo ng gate. I am waiting for Mom's arrival, cause it's Summer season. Mom promised me---

"Bro! " lumingon ako sa likod, para makita kung sino ang sumigaw.

Ah! Yeah, I almost forgot. US, I mean.

That's my older Brother, The Great Decision Maker Raymond Maximus! He's the pride of the family, the one that guards, helps, and only cares for me.

Actually, No, not really, he always believe that his instincts are good helpers, he follows them. What he thinks is what is it---that's his main character, I guess? A NO DOUBT DECISION MAKER.

The Profession he had?, of course my Father's footsteps, Business and Management. He already have his own Company, but it's just a little-known business of the Family, that promote Guns, ammos, and other, other things that mediates a war.

He is now walking towards where I am sitting, after exiting our main House's door. With his Coat and Tie suit, uhhmm.. Inshort,  he's in formal.

I returned back to my recent position.

*Sigh*

He sitted at my left side and stared at me, but I didn't do the same.

"Tristan? Are you alright?, ngumiti ka naman diyan. We need to be presentable in... in a way that, Mom will see us that we are happy here. So that she will be happy to. Right? " He said in a happy tune.

About what I said a while ago, Mom promised us, that she will visit us here in the Philippines, every Summer of the year.

Ngumiti naman ako pagkatapos magsalita ni Kuya Raymond.
He leaned on the Bench afterwards. I know, and I'm sure he saw I smiled.

My Brother, he's my only Family for me. He is the only one that is always there for me, whenever I needed help, and a Friend.

Bilib ako sa tapang ni Kuya, lalong lalo na when it comes to self-confidence, he's the king of that, for me. Pero, still Dad doesn't want him to be the successor of the Company, the one that will bring the whole Maximus family pride, to the top.

"Ahh, Kuya, kailangan ba talagang palagi kang naka Formal?" I asked without looking at him, facing down.

"Ano ka ba Tristan, alam mo naman tong Kuya mong Gwapo, kailangan mas gwapo pag haharap sa ibang tao, and I do have many Clients to meet, lalong lalo na we are just a footstep away from our target sales. " He proudly said. I looked at him, I laughed slightly, while he is arranging his Black and white silver Stripe Necktie.

" Yeah right" I nodded. Then I faced down again.

He stood up, and glanced at our Black themed titanium Gate.
"Where are they?, Kanina pa umalis si Dad, ----" He raised his right hand and looked at his Rolex gold plated wrist watch. " ----It's already 9 am. Mom's arrival at the airport is 6 am, this day, but why are they still not here?"  he whispered.
