Vestia Fia Arzalles
I've always believed that the fire is the strongest element, a paradox in the making. A fire can heal any pain in your body, but too much can also burn you. A fire could give life by showering the world tiny bits of its pieces, but it could devour anything if it is angered.
Sa ganitong paniniwala ako lumaki. Maraming babae ang nawawala kapag nasusunog ng tukso. One hot kiss, one lustful touch, one steamy night. One momentary pleasure caused by a burning heart.
Those girls crumble and become ashes. Weak. Brittle. Worthless. Patapon.
I don't want to be that girl. I will never settle for the ashes. I would treat every tongue of fire as my wings, the blazing heat my armor, the painful burn my gown. I will become fire itself.
"There he is, Fia," Ael said, pointing at Neron Falcon with his mystery girl. Nagtago ako sa likod ng pader para hindi makita noong dalawa. Aelwyd adjusted her binoculars before whispering behind me.
"She's Bora Lacson, model for V and S underwear."
Inayos ko ang buhok kong tumatakip sa aking mukha.
"She's Neron's fiancee?" tanong ko. Tumango ang aking kausap bago muling binalingan iyong babae.
Sa leeg ni Bora Lacson ay naroon ang aming pakay. Under the dark night, the Red Scarlet necklace shines like a crimson fire. Parang maliliit na butil ng apoy iyon sa madilim na dagat ng gabi. Bora looks so lovely with that necklace, not to mention the drop-dead gorgeous guy beside her, holding her tiny waist.
Neron Falcon's green eyes shined like emeralds. Kitang kita sa bawat mayabang na kilos ng kanyang mukha kung anong klaseng lalaki siya. Strong, proud, authoritative. He knows he's an alpha and he surely doesn't take shits from anybody.
"We need to have the necklace before sunrise. Kapag nahuli tayo ay hindi na tayo makakaabot sa bidding sa Qatar, Fia," Ael said. Inayos ko iyong uniporme kong suot bago tumango.
"I just have to steal the necklace, right?"
"Uh huh." Ael said, now diving in her laptop. She took a black cord and connected her laptop with her phone. Lumiwanag ang screen ng laptop niya at lumabas roon ang iba't ibang footage ng CCTV ng hotel. Pansin roon ang paghihiwalay ni Neron at ni Bora, nagpapanggap na hindi magkakilala.
May kung anong pinindot si Aelwyd bago ako binalingan.
