The Badboy's Beloved

Chapter 9: Who are you?

Althea's POV

"No! Really, there's something fishy in the way he looks at you!" Kanina pa di naniniwala si Ally sa sinasabi ko na walang kung ano man ang tingin na pinakita ni Sandro kanina.

She doesn't want to believe, mas naniniwala daw siya sa instinct niya. Crazy.

"I already explained Allison. There's nothing in it. Why can't you just let it go? If you don't believe me, why not go ask him yourself?" No! That came out wrong. I shouldn't have said that! Sasabihin ko na sana na joke lang pero naunahan niya ako.

"No thanks! I don't want to endanger my life!" Nakahinga ako ng maluwag sa sinabi niya.

Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala na wala nga si Sandro dito pero siya ang patuloy na gumgulo sa isip ko.

"Endanger your life? What do you mean? San-- the guest isn't an animal to be scared of?" Lagot! Muntikan na akong nadulas! Hinigit ko ang hininga ko ng tumigin siya sakin ng naguguluhan.

"Duh! Rumors say he's evil and very dangerous. They said that whoever mess with him, end up without their pride and dignity. He's not what he is today if kindness is what he have got." Sa sinabi ni Ally naalala ko si daddy.

Kahit pinalayas nila ako, i can't change the fact that they are still my parents. Worldwide noon ang balita na ang chairman ng Perez Holdings ay naatake sa puso dahil sa pag pull out ng mga investors, hanggang sa na-bankcrupt na.

Alam kong hindi kinaya ni daddy yon, kaya siya inatake sa puso. Gustong gusto kong umuwi noon, pero nung lumabas na ang tagapagmana ng Del Fierro Empire ang gumawa non. Hindi ko tinuloy, alam kong si Sandro ang tinutukoy na tagapagmana.

Alam ko naman yun eh. Even when we were still together, Sandro always told me he wanted photography and not business, pero wala siyang magawa dahil siya ang tagapagmana.

Wala akong magawa kundi maghintay sa balita ni Tita Safira, siya ang nagsasabi sakin kung ano ang lagay ni daddy magmula nung nahospital siya. And currently, the Perez Holdings is in the hands of Del Fierro Empire under Hotels and Resorts, na si Sandro ang namamahala.

"Hey, you're spacing out. Something wrong?" Nagising ako sa diwa ko. Nandito pa pala kami sa hotel. I looked at Ally, i shook my head and smiled.

Sandro's here, and something in me feels nervous. Alam ko kung ano ang kayang gawin ni Sandro sa oras na malaman niya ang sikreto ko. I don't want him to know.

Alessandro's POV

Two weeks have passed since i came here and a week after Thea and I talked. I still have so many to say, pero inuna ko muna ang plano ko para sa hotel and resort. Taron complied to everything i said. Kaya napadali ang pagsasagawa ko.

Pero naiirata ako dahil pagkatapos naming mag-usap ni Thea, hindi ko na siya nakikita. Oo alam kong busy siya pero imposible namang hindi magkita ang landas namin, alam kong iniiwasan niya ako. And the introduction, i know other employees noticed my expression when i look at Thea. I didn't intend to hide my feelings, i want her to know i still want her and love her, even if i need to prove it many times, i will.

I goddamn hated myself when i heard Thea's past here in this hotel, she was just eighteen years old when she came here. And everything was my fault. My fucking fault!

Dad's right, i have no control to myself.

Kaya bago pa ako mabaliw dito, ako na mismo ang pupunta kay Thea, sa mismong bahay nila. I know her address.

I stood up, and went outside the room, i saw Luis, stand immediately when he saw me.

"May pupuntahan po ba tayo sir?"
