Montenegro. Just my last name, the power it holds, and every girls flocks and kisses my feet. Lumaking pinaluluguran ng lahat. Sunod sa layaw at kalukuhan. Ni walang gustong sumuway at malilintikan sa akin. I have everything. Money, power, perfect face, lean body, and charm. My naughtiness is loved by girls even more. Perfect combinations to allure them into me. Ang ayaw ko ay ayaw din ng lahat. Dimos Matthaios Montenegro, that's my name and remember that because I'll hate you if you don't. Everybody knew that or so I thought.
Amazona Fhaye Alonzo. Pangalan pa lang kinaiinisan ko na. Nasa kaniya na ang tatlong 'M' na kinaaayawan ko; Madungis, Mabaho, at Mataba. Walang pakialam kundi matulog at lumamon. Maamoy ko lang siya ay kumukulo na agad ang dugo ko. To add fuel to the fire, she tends to forget my name. My.Name! And worse, pronounced it wrong even more. All.The.Fucking.Time! How come she doesn't know my great name?! Ha. And so, I made her the 'Next Target'. I want her tears, her begs and her bended knees. Isang bagay na pinagsisihan ko dahil sa di inaasaha'y ako lang din ang mahuhulog sa sariling patibong. I regret to know her other two 'M's - Misteryoso at Mabangis. I thought it's her who forgot my name but it's me who forgot hers- Amazona.
Ang naunang plano ay nabago, instead, she makes me kneel and kiss her feet.
