'Romeo Valencia'

He is the CEO of Valencia Fashion empire. From clothes to jewelries, the Valencia name is the definition pf luxury and glamour. His father was a man of honor. He was a respectable politician, which sadly passed away 10 years ago. His mother is Madam Rosie Valencia, she was the 9th princess of the royal family. Even though she steps down to live as a normal people, her royal bloodline is still influential. Romeo is what you can think of as the definition of a perfect human being. Beside his wealth and power, he has the look that makes all the girls dying to give up everything just to be on his bed. His black hair that shines like a raven, and a pair of mysterious gray eyes. Every girls want to tame him. He's like a wolf. Alluring, mysterious but dangerous. Girls will do anything just to be called his one and only, but no one has succeeded yet. Sometimes people wonder does he even have a heart to begin with?

Romeo stops his car in front of one of his hotel. He stays here instead of his main house, since he was 18. He went up to his penthouse. He pour himself some whiskey and stares out from the his bedroom window. Staring at the world below him that is filled with life even though it's already pass midnight. The city that never fall asleep. His drifts off to the past. To the moment when he first laid his eyes upon her. She has the pure look that put her out of place from the dirty atmosphere of this big city. She was so pure that all he can think of is how bad he wanted to tainted her with his own two hands. He wanted to be the devil that plucked out the Angel's wings and chained her to the ground. Put her in a cage and strip her out of her freedom till she can't live without him. Their life path crossed when she came into his company auditioning for a part of a fashion show, the Valencia annual anniversary. That day that she came into the audition room. She immediately charmed everyone with her aura. Her gentle smiles and that big green eyes that can melt everything, even his frozen heart. You can tell that she's new but she has a confident that tell otherwise. She was what you can describe as a fallen angel that comes to grace the earth. His heart skips a beat for the first time in forever. It was like the time has stop right there.

He puts down the empty glass and gets into the shower. The icy coldness from the water still can't wash away the flame that is burning inside of him. The burning passion that he thought was gone come back alive after he saw her today. It was by accident. He didn't realize what's happened until he was there sitting in his car in front of her house. She still has the same aura as she did back then, but is mature and is more confident than before. He recalled that day when he claimed her as his. Her clueless reactions to his touch. As he kissed her roughly, she response back timidly. The softness of her skin that he can still feel vividly and when it turns red along with his touches. Her puffy and hazy eyes that is coated with lusts as he's taking her into an ecstasy. Her heavy breaths and the soft moans that escape from those soft lips as he fill her with pain and pleasures.

He punches the wall to keep calm and shook off the memories. It was a mistake, that night he was drugged. He was being manipulated by her and his cousin, He thought that she was different from all the girls, but she's not. She was also chasing the Valencia name, not him.

'Do you really think it was me who did that?'

The image of her crying flashes back like it was yesterday. It was the last time that they were together. From that on their life parts and they went on their own way. He spent his times enjoying life but these girls never make him feel the way she did. He watched her grow from a cute fresh face in the entertainment circle to a well-know and hot celebrity. Even without him, she still made her way to the top. Even without using his name, she fought all the obstacles. Was he wrong about her all along? The answer is yes. Yes he was. He admitted it, it was just a spur of moment and the disappointment of knowing that his cousin set him up. Lilith and his cousin is best friends so he thought that she was also in it. But she wasn't. He went to bed and closed his eyes. But he knows that it's just going to be another long and sleepless night.

Romeo sat inside his office as the other stressful day begun. He's flipping through all the scandals of him and a so called new actress Julian. To be honest he was just helping her on that day because her skirt ripped when she ran. So he took her to get a new set of clothes. And that was enough for those money seeking paparazzi to make a headline. He smirks, as he read all the articles calling him like playboy, cruel tyrant etc. He doesn't think they're wrong though.

'Did she see that too?' He thought to himself. Will she care though? Will she even thought about the man that literally destroys her heart and pride? He smiles bitterly as to mocks himself.

"Boss." His secretary comes in his room, to make a report of the upcoming event for the launching a new fashion and jewelry line. They also plan to do a different promo with an advertisement as to keep up with new technology of marketing.

"Boss, for this new event..."

"Ask for Lilith Anderson." He said.

"Pardon me?" She responses as her eyes widen in surprised. She looks at her boss with no clues of what's on her mind right now. For the these past 5 years, Lilith was a taboo topic to him. No one dare mention her name in his presence.

'What got into him?' She's asking herself in her mind.

"Ask for her, and said we'll ready to pay whatever she wants."

He said as he leaned back into his chair. He wanted a chance to be with her just to settle the uneasiness feeling that is inside of him. She nodded.

"Also, boss. The madam said that she wants you home for dinner today."

"Ok, you can leave now."

"Yes, boss." She leaves his door as soon as he finished his sentences.

The dinner is going to be the same, just forcing him to get married with some rich daughters that his mom randomly find. It’s not her fault, thought. She was doing so to protect the family’s image. Maybe it’s time to settle with those scandals that keep getting out of hand.
