.

My brows furrowed as I read my mother's note. I scoffed and slightly smirked.

Yeah, I'm so sick of it. Dammit.

I unbutton my black suit and hang it on the dry rack. Then, I stride down the hallway to the spacious kitchen.

The lavish fridge, which was like a wall, seemed like nothing around the place, but with a single tap on the side, you could almost see what was inside.

"Damn, Morris," I mouthed and drank the sparkling water.

I don't know how to answer my mother this time. I refused to respond, and I knew she would never give up.

Hell, do I look like an old bachelor of all time?

I must be.

Four failed engagements and two long years of hiatus on women make me look like an old bachelor. I shook my head, imagining my mother's face.

It's a reaper. This is Morris's fault. This should be him and not me. Damn, him.

"Do I look like an old bachelor to you, big Mors?"

Kausap ko siya sa kabilang linya at komportable ang pagkakaupo ko sa malambot na sofa. Naka-on ang

    Bryce."She's okay, Sir…no problem. I will, Sir." I laugh a little bit and whirl my body to check my surroundings. "Yes, Sir. I will keep calling you, Sir, until I get her approval. Not a problem." I ended the call right away and shook my head. I will turn off my device and place it underneath my bed. I skip out of the kitchen area, leaving Charmie there to call her father. I will take a quick dip after this before seeing her.I will not complicate things anymore. I'm here, and I know what I want... I want her. That's what my mind and heart tell me. I know it sounds cringe, but who cares? This is what it is. It's korney and what the hell, but this is probably how a Mondragon falls in love. It's crazy."Are you ready?""Ang tagal mo."I chuckle as I step out, having not noticed the time. The warm water relaxes my body, and it took me a while to finish. I was thinking of Charmie too and the kiss. I was hard, and I need to do what a man should do in secret, or else I'll be stuffed."I'

    Charm.The power of his kiss? Huh, napatahimik niya lang naman ako!I kissed him back, and that settles everything. Now, I'm sitting here, staring at his back while he's busy making coffee for himself and hot chocolate for me.What the heck just happened earlier? What does he mean by that?Virginity wasn't really a big deal. Shocking. What will I do now if he finds out that I'm actually a..."Do you want some bread? I can heat some. May pandesal ako sa freezer."My mouth is already open. I avoid his enticing eyes and look at the hot chocolate he made."Okay. I want some."Naisip ko na masarap ang pandesal sa chocolate drink. Nakakagutom ito.Tumango siya at saka nagtungo sa pantry area. Nandoon lahat ang stocks niya at naroon din ang dalawang malalaking freezer. Natingnan ko na ito kahapon. Maraming stocks na karne, tinapay at iba pa. Mabubuhay ka sa islang ito kahit na lagpas isang taon.Nakabalik na siya na bitbit ang pandesal. Nilagay niya sa plato at ininit lang ito sa microwave

    Charm.Why do I hate swimming alone? Oh, yes, when I was a child, I loved to swim so much. My family goes out of the country half a dozen times a year to chase the summer. We love the sun and the beaches. My mother loves it and so do I. But one incident changes everything. . . My mother drowned, and that scares me. She was saved anyway, and she helped build my confidence back in the waters. Iyon nga lang, kailangan may bantay ako at may kasama sa tabi.I cough out as I breathe in. I cried. That was scary. I thought I was going to die.“Charmie, are you okay?”"Bryce?" Malabo man ang paningin ko dahil sa alat ng tubig at luha ay wala na akong pakialam. Galit ako at marami akong tanong sa kanya, pero sinagip niya naman ang buhay. Kaya, okay na.“Bryce!” I yelled as I hugged him. I’m so fragile. I can still feel the waves inside my mind, as if I'm still underwater, drowning."What the hell are you thinking, Charmie? You shouldn't be swimming since you're alone and have no one with you.

    Charm."What's the meaning of this, Bryce? This is kidnapping?"He chuckles and just walks past me. My eyes follow him until I can no longer see him. I panic and follow him."Hey! Bryce?" My pace is fast in order to reach him. I look like a dumb puppy who's lost, but the difference? I don't have a tail, and it's not waggling!"Hoy, Bryce! Are you listening to me? Ang sabi ko, ba't ako nandito? Ano ba ang gusto mo? Akala ko ba ayaw mo sa akin! Umalis ka 'di ba? You left me! What's the point of taking me now after everything?"Huminto ako nang huminto siya at nilingon ako.I swallow hard. I can feel the heavy, vacant stare in his eyes. He's not glad to see me here, and neither am I. Hindi dapat ako nakakaramdam ng ganito, dahil hindi ko naman kasalanan kung bakit ano nandito."What now?" Namaywang ako. "Ba't 'di ka makapagsalita?"Okay, contest ba 'to ng titigan? Oh well, I can accept that. I'm good at staring."What do you want, Bryce? I was having fun at the bar with my friends. Was

    Charm."What the hell? How many times do we have to move? Where the heck are you taking me!?"Nakagapos na naman ang mga kamay ko at paa habang nakaupo sa silya. Hindi ako makagalaw at nandito sa maliit na silid.Kanina ay isinakay na naman nila ako sa yate patungo sa kung saan. Hindi ko alam! Ayaw magbigay ng impormasyon si Ace at nawala na lang bigla si Penelope."What the heck?" I sighed, feeling so defeated. I look around me, feeling hopeless. I hope someone will come and rescue me.Naisip ko si Bryce. Naisip ko na siya ang pupunta rito at pakakawalan ako. Pero imposible naman. Walang alam ang baliw na iyon lalo na si Papa ngayon.My god. I hope someone will come to rescue me."Kumain ka na."Nagising ako mula sa pagkaidlip ng tulog. Tinulog ko na lang ang lahat kahit na nakatali ang katawan. Sasakit lang ang ulo ko sa pag iisip, kaya natulog ako!"At paano naman ako kakain, Ace, eh nakagapos ako?" I blurted, feeling shitty at him.He clears his throat and walks over to me, now b

    Bryce.My eyes are focused on the screen, but my mind is not here. It's flying somewhere, thinking of that stupid one."Bryce? Hey?" Alfonso called my attention.I clear my throat as I gather my thoughts."What do you think of Miss Annette's proposal?"My jaw tightens. I don't really like her idea, to be exact. I can counter it, but I'm too damn occupied with something."What do you think, Alfonso? And you, Laude? Are you satisfied with Miss Annette's proposal?" I ask as I observe everyone in the room. I'll trust the leaders' judgment, and if things go wrong, I'll hold them responsible."Uhm, I-I'm not entirely sure about it, but we can give it a shot," Laude's voice shakes, and Alfonso is just giving me a shit stare, telling me to throw this idea into the rubbish."Okay. We can give it a try, and if this doesn’t work... You’re fired." I look at Miss Annette."Sure, Sir. I will do my best," she just gave me a flirtatious smile."Okay, meeting adjourned." I stood up and walked out of
