The Soul's Liberation [Mr. Hot Billionaire](Completed)

Chapter 1

Fliory

Bumuntong hininga ako at tumingin sa langit. Padilim na at kasalukuyan akong nakatayo sa gilid ng daan. Naghihintay ng taxi.

Tagal naman.

Tumingin ako sa suot kong boots, fitted ripped jeans na itim at cotton V-neck sweater at napabuntong hininga ulit.

Kagagaling ko lang sa New York at umuwi ako dito sa pilipinas to live my life, to start something new, and I decided to stay here in Baguio. I didn't plan on how I'm supposed to live. I just planned on going home here in Philippines despite not having enough money to last me a month.

Kaunti lang ang pera ko at lahat \yon ay napunta na sa plain ticket, nagrestaurant pa ako, tapos pamasahe ko pang pumunta rito sa Baguio, and I'm sure ang natitirang pera sa atm card ko ay 'di na kakasya sa isang buwan, so I need to work but how am I going to work if I didn't even finish college. I don't have any college degree.

This will be stressful but I'm happy that I'm here now, that's first.

Tinaas ko ang kamay ko para parahin ang taxi and thank god tumigil na ito.

"Sa'n tayo?" I stilled with his cold voice, sa 'di ko malamang kadahilanan ay napatingin ako sa kan'ya.

And it killed me on how handsome this man is, that lips, a kissable lips—well every lips is kissable but his is like calling you, his pointed nose, 'yong pumuputok niyang panga sa kagandahan.

"Ma'am? Sa'n tayo?" His cold voice is gone. Kumunot tuloy ang noo ko. Maybe I heard him wrong the first time. Yeah, I was just occupied.

"Sa puso mo," I blurted out. Napangiwi tuloy ako, but it was enough to make him chuckle.

"Sure," he replied and this time, I laughed.

"Why so handsome mr. Taxi Driver," I commented. "Anyway. Sa pinakamalapit na Hotel nga," sabi ko at umayos ng upo sa passengers seat.

"Bakasyonista?" tanong niya. Nagkibit balikat ako.

"I don't know."

"Bakit?"

"I came from New York. I plan to live my life here in this place." Natatawang sabi ko. Yeah right, live my fucked up life here. Well, it's nearly hundred percent fixed now.

Tumingin ako sa kan'ya habang nagda-drive siya. Napataas naman ang kilay ko no'ng mahagio ng mata ko ang relong nasa kamay niya.

"Taxi Driver na naka Rolex?" taas kilay kong sabi. I don't judge but damn! "As far as I know that's exactly the rolex watch that cost $56,000 something."

And for the second time I heard him chuckle. It was a manly chuckle. I bet many women find this attractive because it is very attractive.

"You're good," sabi nito. "Yeah. Being a taxi driver is just my hubby and a way to see beautiful women." Natawa ako but at the same time I checked him out. Hindi naman siya mukhang manyak pero we never know. He might be using his face to fetch ladies.

"So you're rich?" Tumango siya.

Biglang tumigil ang sasakyan at tumingin siya sa'kin.

I accidentally looked him in the eyes and I felt like I stopped breathing the moment I saw his eyes. I didn't even notice the color earlier. It's green, and it's beautiful.

"Done checking my eyes?"

Napakurap ako nang maraming beses nang maramdaman kong hindi na pala ako humihinga, so I look away breathe in and out.

"We're here," sabi niya at kumindat.

Akmang kukunin ko ang wallet ko pero pinigilan niya ako.

"Wag na. It's free."
