One Night Stand With The Prince of Hell

CHAPTER 1

Isabelle

It's been couple of months since mom and dad died. A week just right after my 22nd birthday. And I still can't believe that they left me. Alone.

"Isabelle, are you really okay? I don't think you're mentally capable of travelling." Jia Fray said.

"Jia, I want to go to the Philippines. Since I'm studying their language for quite so long, I think I can blend in." I said.

"Alright. I'll follow you there okay? Just email me your address."

"Okay." I said then I walked out. Closing the enormous gate of our manor.

I wish my decisions were right.

I rode to Jia's car because she'll escort me to the airport. That's because according to the will and testament of my parents, they brought up a business in an island named Philippines. That's why they always want me to learn the language of the country.

The plane landed safely on the runway. When I walked out of the plane, I felt that a vomit is building up in my throat.

The place is filthy, crowded and noisy. Unlike in Austria. It's clean and quiet.

I'm walking down the arrival area when I felt someone staring at me from the somewhere. I just ignored it at first but as soon as I reach the exit, I felt that the person staring is getting nearer.

I immediately rode a taxi cab that was waiting at the exit and gave the proper instruction to my place.

I found our family lawyer sitting on one of the chairs in my flat.

"Miss Isabelle. At last." He said.

"I'm surprised how you arrived here earlier that I expected, Mr. Lewis." I said, dropping my bag and luggage on the floor.

"Here in the Philippines, if you want to be safe, don't dress too much, brag too much and most importantly, speak English in a public place like malls and churches. That's the cue on criminals that you are rich or foreign." He said.

"Opo."

Maybe from now on I'll start speaking tagalog and will only speak English to Jia.

"Good. Bukas ang first day mo sa work. And magtatrabaho ka bilang CEO ng Graymark Corporation. Use Filipino language okay?" he said, before leaving.

"Yes po."

Maaga akong gumising because sabi ni Atty. Lewis or Tito Rob, ma-traffic daw pag late na. So gumising ako ng 6 am and by 7:30 tapos na ako.

Pagbaba ko ng building, the valet man gave me my car keys.

Nag-drive ako papunta sa company ni dad na pagmamay-ari ko na ngayon. I bet no one recognizes me kase I never been here before.

After I parked my car, sumakay na ako ng elevator papunta sa 35th floor where my office is located.

Pagbaba ko, may dalawang babae akong nakasalubong ko at tumingin ng masama sa akin.

Oh I forgot, di pa nga pala ako naipapakilala dito.

"What?" I asked them ng mahuli ko ulit silang tumingin.

"Sino ka? You're new here. Di ka pa namin nakikita dito ever since." Sabi nung girl with super red pout.

"Yes because my dad never let me go outside of Europe." I said and then one of them arched a brow, and masama ang tingin sa akin.

"Huh! I've been to every side of the world for so many times." Sabi nung kasama ni Miss Red Pout.

"Who are you?" Miss Red Pout asked again.

"Oh. Me? I'm Isabelle Graymark. Ivo and Irene Graymark's only daughter." I said then binuksan ko na yung door leading to my office.

Pagpasok, andun na si Tito Rob with a cute girl.

"Hey Izzy, this is Alia. Your secretary." Pagpapakilala nya dun sa cute girl.

"Hi Miss Isabelle." Bati nya sakin with a huge smile on her face.

"So it's settled. Isabelle, just call Alia if you want anything. I got to go. Bye." And by that, lumabas na si Tito Rob.

Agad akong naupo sa swivel chair ko at nagbukas ng mga drawers doon. But yung pinaka-last drawer hindi mabuksan?

"Alia? do you have the key to the drawers here?" tanong ko kay Alia.

"Yes Miss Isabelle. Kunin ko lang po saglit. Nasa stock room po kase yun." Sabi nya then agad syang lumabas.

How come na nasa stockroom ang keys ng drawers ni Dad? Its... odd. Is he hiding something?
