CHAPTER 1
1237 Words
Isang matikas at matigas na muscle ang nabungaran ng mga mata ko. Tumingala ako upang makita ang itsura ng misteryosong lalaki pero nang makita ko ang makapal na kilay nito at nangungusap na mata ay kusang pumikit ang mata ko sa antisipasyon para sa halik nito.
Ayan na! Malapit na! Mas lalo ko pang inilapit ang ulo ko dito nang may biglang kalabog akong narinig.
"come on dear let's get you ready for the party later.." mom said as she walk excitedly inside my room unannounced.
"mom it's still early.." I rolled my eyes and tried to sleep again.
Sayang ang panaginip ko! Mahahalikan ko na sana ang prince charming ko!
"dear, you can sleep after the party.." she's still in my bed shaking me to wake up.
Puyat ako dahil alas kwatro na ako nakauwi idagdag pa na hindi ako agad nakatulog dahil nasusuka pa ako sa dami ng nainom kong alak sa bar.
"the party starts at 7pm mom, and it's still 9am isn't it too much to get ready for that party this early?" I sounded irritated and looked at her smiling face.
"but you haven't chose a dress to wear and we still need to go to the parlour and spa—"
"mom!" I cut her words.
"have a heart and let me sleep in peace, go and ask dad to come with you then.." annoyed, I close my eyes again.
I heard her sigh. My bed move when she stand up and left me.
Nang makitang palabas na ito nang pintuan ay nagsalita ako uli.
"thank you.." I whispered before I get back to sleep.
At exactly 11am I finally woke up. I was stunned and confused when I saw too many people in our mansion.
"dear.." mom called for me. I approached them with my still confused look.
"what is this mom?" I asked at nilibot ang tingin ko sa magulong sala.
"you said we can't go out since you were too sleepy so here's my solution, I called them to fix and prepare you for the party.." she happily answered me.
I just shook my head and turn around to search for dad.
"where's dad?" I've noticed that he's not around.
"he's at the office dear.." mom said.
"on Sunday?!" shocked, I face mom.
"well you know your father, very workaholic.." even if she said that in a calm way I can hear sadness in her voice.
I didn't say anything because I know that she's too sensitive when it comes to dad.
Busy and annoyed they start fixing my hair while mom is all smile while looking at my reaction. I sighed. I almost cry in relief when they let me go note the sarcasm.
They let me eat my brunch after realizing I haven't eaten yet.
"thank God!" I murmured before going to kitchen.
All I can do is rolled my eyes and shook my head when they start to chose which dress I will wear. Mom and the stylist are estatic when they're done experimenting about my looks and style for the party.
I looked on our wall clock and smirk when I saw that it's only 5pm knowing that the party will start at 7pm and if I am so unlucky today it will start late. Of course many socialites and media will come because the party is about the top 10 businessman gather all in that party and dad happened to be seated on top 4.
Next to the family of the Three Kings. The Samaniego, Ricafort and Lastimosa.
I sighed.
Now I am force to come even if my family knows how I hate socializing because it makes me uncomfortable talking to others. They sometimes misunderstood me because of my aloofness, they called me names like snob, ice princess, spoiled brat. Though the name they called me doesn't bother me a bit nakatatak parin yun sa akin.
"my God dear you really prove them right! Look at you! You were alone here on our table!" mom hissed.
I just rolled my eyes on her. I was right by the way, the party that supposedly start at 7pm started late. My parents are talking with some business magnate when I heard whisperings everywhere.
My beautiful brows furrowed when I saw the commotion near the entrance. I shook my head when I saw who is it. The Samaniegos together with Ricafort and Lastimosas.
So the three kings are here huh!
I raise my eyebrows when they stopped walking and look on our table. Yah, how could I not know them. The Handsome three, also known as the Three Kings.
"those boys are really something.." I heard somewhere.
"and they are cousins right?" my mom asked her friend from business.
"yes! I actually want to talk to the parents of that three so I can put my daughter on marriage with one of them." My eyes widen on mom's friend's thought.
That's insane.
I saw my mom looked at me, I mocked at her friend so she will get that I didn't like her friend's idea. Mom smirked at me before talking to her friends again.
Bored and annoyed, I went outside the hotel to get some fresh air. I chose to sit at the hotel's garden. It is quiet and a perfect place for me or so I thought.
"here?" I heard someone's voice and it's a woman voice.
"do you want to go somewhere?" the man's voice is deep and husky.
My curiousity ate me. I squat and hide on plants for a sneak peek.
"no, my mom will look for me so it is safe here.." the lady in pink said.
I gasp when I saw the man's hand slowly taking off the lady's underwear. I close my eyes and silently turn around to walk away but when I open my eyes I saw the man's face.
Samaniego!
Guiltily, I smiled at him.
"don't you know that it's not right to peek on someone's personal matters?" he smirked at me.
"I didn't mean to, and I was here first.." I defended.
"even so, it's not something as young as you to see.." he commented.
I felt insulted especially his make out partner is intently looking at me now like some criminal!
"for your information Mr. Samaniego I never wanted to see anything or everything that's about you! Besides, you can make out for all I care but please be discreet or if you can't, better get a hotel room so you can't stain an innocent mind of a young girls like me!" I said while catching my breath because of my long and full of intensity words.
I saw his dark face became darker, well, he insulted me first! I reasoned out in my mind.
"you don't know who you talking too." The lady with her interrupted.
"I know him, but I am not interested.." I saw how the lady is shocked with my sentence.
"you can continue, excuse me.." I said and run away from them.
I touched my chest to calm myself when I think they can't see me anymore. That was harsh Aly I said to myself.
But he insulted me first and I have to defend myself from them so think it's cool.
I went inside the hotel and when I saw my father I went to him. He looked at me and smiled.
"here she is, my daughter.." he introduced me to his colleagues.
I gave my bow to them as a sign of respect.
"your daughter is pretty.." they commented.
"too bad you're still young for my son.." I gulped when I heard it from the father of one of the Three Kings.
Dad just laughed with them, he looked so proud while hugging me. I smiled at him. I am indeed a daddy's girl.
