Fated to be together

Chapter 1

Vain's POV

"Jenna, is everything okay around here? No complaints about our food, drinks or services?" sabi ko sa manager ng aking Cafe

"No Ma'am"

"Good. Bago palang itong nagbukas kaya dapat lang walang complaints and we have to make a good impression to our customers.So I'll be going now" tumango naman si Jenna at nagpaalam.

Pinagbuksan ako ng pintuan ng sasakyan ni Ricci, ang aking personal na bodyguard. Nang makarating kami sa companiy ng daddy ko The De La Fuentebella Corp. ay pinagsabihan ako ni Ricci

"Vain, magingat ka, ang dami mong kaaway ngayon dahil diba nga ang bata-bata mopa para maging CEO ng company niyo at dahil na rin namatay ang ama mo. Ang daming taong gusto kang mabagsak!"

"Don't worry Ricci, just chill. But just keep an eye on everything."

"But Vain-" pinutulan ko agad siya sa pagsasalita niya

"Ricci, we have eyes and ears everywhere. Just make sure that your subordinates are just as good at spying as theirs" sabi ko kanya bago ako umalis papunta sa opisina ko.

"Good Morning Ma'am Vain-" sabi ng bagong employee

"Hush, we are not close so don't call me by my name." I know I can be mean and all, but I'm nice too. I just learned how to stay superior and be respected by all my employees. I have a few employees who calls me by my name and not giving me the respect that i deserve because they are my friends since highschool. Namely, Nikki, Wade and Ice. Si Christal naman ay may kanilang company, The Trine Holdings Corp., isa itong clothing line na sikat sa France. At ang pinakamahal kong rich bitch bestest of friends, Si Alexandra Soliven. We have gone through hell and even visited it perhaps. No, really though. We have just gone through so much together. Thick and thin. The ups and downs in life. So she is pretty much my soul mate.

"Vain, did you received my email? It's regarding about the new logo you were asking-" Speaking of the devil.

"Oh Nikki, what a suprise, i was just thinking about you"

"Haha very funny. I haven't given you the hard copy yet-"

"No it's okay. Chill. It isn't due until the next month. Plus you have Ice to work on it because he was just eavesdropping there. Hi Ice" sabi ko with a smile. Tumalikod rin si Nikki at binigyan si Wade nang nakakaplastic na ngiti hahaha ang saya nila. Super.

"Vain, nandito ako para ibigay sayo to. Magfifile sana ako ng leave" sabi ni Wade

"Oh bakit?"

"Nandyan nakalagay sa sulat Vain. Basahin mo nalang"

"Learn how to respect your boss! Know where you stand" sabi ko nang nakataas ang kilay

"Ay sorry po Ma'am Vain hahaha"

binigyan ako ni Wade nang isang apologetic smile. Tinignan ko lang siya na parang seryosong-seryoso ako para maniwala naman siya na hindi ko na nagustohan ang pagtrato niya sa kanyang boss. Ilang sandali tumawa si Nikki dahil alam naming dalawa na hinding-hindi ko kayang maging ganun kahigpit sa kanila. But I know I've changed lately. The way i treat people, my friends, employees and just everyone I meet. I just become colder, meaner and heartless every step of the way. Well maybe because of all that has happened to me. I was diagnosed to have depression and Rheumatic heart disease but because I love sports and I constantly exercise, it doesn't affect me that much. My heart only hurts when I push myself too much. I began having suicidal thoughts at the age of 14. My mother despised me because I was the daughter of my Dad's Ex-wife which is my mother's friend. So basically she is my step-mom. My sister, no scratch that. My step-sister is not as mean as my step-mother however, she does what she likes. She humiliated me countless of times in school and in events of the shareholder's of the company. She make me feel like I don't mean anything to her and my deceased brother is all she cares about. I think I know half the reason why they treated me like shit. Maybe because since my brother died, they blame me for the cause of death of my brother which is not partly true. I was there with him and we fought inside the car. We didn't see the car in front of us because we were so busy arguing and the last thing we knew, he bumped us into a post. Cliché right? I know. And I also know that eversince that day, everything has changed. My step-mom used to treat me like I'm her own child and my sister and I played with each other. But that happiness didn't last for long. Everyday they treated me like I was not part of the family. Like my life is worth nothing. And my mother even said that I'm better off dead and I would have to be the one who died instead of my brother. Oh geez that would be nice because she thinks I'm useless. I never ate. I never slept well. I pretty much felt nothing. Empty. And I just want to die that time. I would cut my already scarred wrist over and over again. I would hid a rope under my bed just in case. I would hid a knife in my bag. And i would punch a wall until my knuckles started to bleed and turn blue. My supposed to be friends betrayed me. Others are just using me for the fame, money and because I have good-looks. And some are just acting as my 'friends' when I am around them, and when I'm not, I heard they're already backstabbing me according to my sources. The boys at my school well, I heard they kept looking at my ass and how they fantasize about me. I was almost raped once if not because of Ricci who saved me. So yeah, I am suicidal. I smoke and drink and say what's on my mind and I can be a heartless bitch for all I know, no one ever challenged me enough to test my strength vocally, mentally and physically. And I have less friends than usual. Alexandra is the only person who I can trust because I don't want to be fooled again by the people who I call my friends. Nope. I don't want that to happen again. If people think these are still not good enough reasons to end one's life, then I could say that they are no better from people who actually killed someone because the moment people judge suicidal people, it is when they killed their individuality and personality; it's when they killed a big part of that person. And maybe that's what kills suicidal people. Because they killed a big part of them that only tried to be itself. We have are own tolerance-level of pain and we have our own way of dealing it.

"Speaking of the devils pala"

Oops, napalakas yata ang sabi ko hahaha, Bakit ba nagiisahan silang nagpupunta dito sa opisina ko, kakaisip ko lang sa kanila. Bitch I have witch powers.

"Oh, ano nanaman?"

ang taray ko noh? Second cousin ko kasi siya kaya kahit walang gagawin, pumupunta siya rito sa opisina ko para kulitin lang ako. Ang engot.

"Wal-" pinutol ko kaagad ang sasabihin niya

"Anyways, Wade, hindi mo sinabi rito for how many days"

"Actually Vain, it's for about 2 months"

"What the fuck?!"

"I'm sorry. Excuse me for my language. Pero Wade bakit? baka nakalimutan mo ha, may banda tayo every saturday night once in two weeks sa Double G's Bar n' Resto"

"Oo nga Wade, bakit ba 2 months?" tanong naman ni Nikki

"Kasi Vain this has been a hell for me. You know my mom is all by herself, my dad is in the hospital in order to get better and Jean is leaving abroad"

"Wait Jean? You mean bisexual who made you fall for her just for a bet?"
Parang hindi makasagot si Wade at napakamot pa siya sa leeg niya. Eh kasi naman eh! Si Wade ay isang gay at si Jean naman ay bisexual. Wala naman sa akin yun pero the fact that Jean played with him is making me pissed. Sino ba naman gustong pinagpustahan ng mga kaibigan nila? Si Jean! si Jean! She is breaking him! Oh my God! She is the reason why Wade hasn't been able to be himself for the past few days and his slow performance in work.

"Si Jean nanaman Wade? come on"
"HAHAHA wala yang papuntahan tanga"
sabi nila Nikki at Ice simultaneously.

HAHAHAHA owemjii sinabihang tanga. Oh well, we do crazy things in the name of love sabi nga nila. Tinawanan ko lang ang sabi ni Ice kay Wade.

"Eeeeiiiiieee Ice naman ehh!" reklamo ni Wade. Kita mo naman tong baklang ito.

"Wade, you know it's not right. She is not treating you right and you should already know that by now. She is breaking you in the process Wade. She will be your downfall if this keeps up. Just because she made you feel special doesn't mean all of it was true. Remember, she fooled you once, it can happen again" I said to him in a meaningful manner not caring whether it will hurt him or not.

"Wade tama naman si Vain. Mali to. Kaibigan mo kami Wade kaya alam namin kung anonv makakabuti sa iyo" sabi ni Nikki

"Been there. Done that" sabi naman ni Ice with rolling eyes. You know, he has the aura of Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries. I don't know but he seems like it.

And because Wade is such an obedient child, he just skipped the drama and said
"Okay".
