IX - First Time

Third Person's Point of View

“Wife, what took you so long? Does Louis have another fling again?” asked the man who looked like Louis, the only difference is that this man looked older even though he seemed like a teenager.

The man stopped from locking his car when he saw Elaine. He knew this woman by face because he was the one who ordered Louis to marry this woman.

“Who are you, miss, and why are you in my son's mansion? Explain yourself,” a woman said with a raised eyebrow. She was looking at Elaine who doesn't know what to answer because Louis didn't say that his parents will come.

“M...me? Ah...uhm,” said Elaine, stuttering. Louis' father stopped his wife from grabbing Elaine's hair because she was already pulling it.

“Wife, she is the woman that I'm saying to Louis. For Pete's sake, it's embarrassing to hold your son's bride like that,” he said. His wife stopped and realized what she was doing to Elaine. She hugged her.

“I'm sorry. I thought you're one of Louis' flings,” Louis' mother said which made Elaine laugh. She didn't know that Louis' mother was actually nice.

Thanks to Louis' father. If not for him, her hair would have disappeared. What a lifesaver!

“It's okay,” Elaine answered. Louis' father was smiling at her and left because he was going to get something in the car.

“Let's have a seat, my child,” Louis' mother said. They sat on the chair where she was seated earlier.

“I'm Hacel Montemayor, mother of Louis. You can call me mom and I will not take no as an answer,” Hacel said happily while holding Elaine's hands.

“I'm Elaine, M...m-om,” she said, stuttering because she can't believe that she's in front of the mother of one of the richest CEO in the whole world.

“Anyway, when will the baby be born?” she asked while smiling at her. Elaine was shocked because she remembered the night when she almost gave her purity to Louis.

“I'm not pregnant,” Elaine answered. It's obvious that Hacel was disappointed by her answer. Elaine knew that they'll go there, but she couldn't imagine it.

“Why not? Your wedding is near. Don't tell me nothing has happened between you and my son?” Hacel directly asked. She called for a maid to bring some food.

“N...n-othing has happened between us yet,” she said, stuttering. Every time she remembers what Louis did to her this morning, she couldn't stop herself from blushing. Why was she so affected by Louis?

Hacel sighed. “My son is weak. But I have a plan. Why not go to Desire Island with Louis? You know, Valentine's Day,” Hacel whispered while giggling. She was just excited to have a grandson. Because every time she goes to a high school reunion, her batchmates usually have grandchildren already.

“W...w-hat?” Elaine asked, stuttering. The maids were already serving the food.

“You know, hija, our husbands are busy. So if you want them to notice your beauty, wear lingerie. Then tie them to the bed so they won't—” she was cut off by Elaine when she coughed her strawberry juice because of what she said. Hacel looked like a saint earlier, but when she heard her speak, she suddenly wanted the soil to eat her alive.

“Wife, What are you two talking about? You two seem to get along well,” Louis' father said. He sat beside his wife.

"What? I'm just advising my daughter-in-law so we can have a grandson," she said while eating a blueberry cheesecake. Before Louis's father could even answer, the doorbell rang and the maid near the door opened it.

“Ma'am, Miss Elaine's father is here. Should I let him in?” the maid asked. Elaine stood up because of happiness. Louis's mother just nodded.

When Elaine's father entered, Elaine immediately ran to embrace her father. "Welcome, amigo," Louis's father Izaak Montemayor greeted Elaine's father. But Elaine's father only nodded.

When Louis entered the building, his employees were bowing at him. What's unusual was they were all wearing red.

When he reached his office, his secretary greeted him with Happy Valentine's Day which made his forehead crease. What the f*ck is Valentine's Day for?

“Get out. All employees who wear red are fired. I didn't permit them to wear what they want in my company,” Louis said. Tiffany, his secretary nodded. Because even her was wearing red and they need to change clothes if they still want to have a job. 

“Good morning, boss. Looks like you slept on the wrong side of the bed, eh? By the way, Happy Valentine's Day. What gift do you have for your wife?" Volstrige asked with a smile. Louis just looked at him.

“Fuck you, guys. I already said that we shouldn't bother the boss today. Because he looked like he didn't score with Ma'am Elaine,” Volstrige said.

“What's the occasion?” he asked and the three were shocked. Volstrige coughed and confidently spoke. Finally, it's time to impress his boss.

“Valentine's Day is when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts,” Vstrige said. Brennon punched him.

“Stupid, you're holding a cheat code. Give me your phone!” Brennon said and Volstrige fought him because he was still reading.

“But, boss, it's still on the other day. If you want, we'll buy a gift for Ma'am Elaine,” Alex suggested because Louis' forehead creased when told him the occasion today.

“What gift does a woman want to receive on Valentine's Day?” Louis seriously asked.

“Flowers.”

“Sex.”

“Chocolates.”

Louis raised an eyebrow because of their suggestions. Volstrige walked to Louis.

“You know, boss, if you're going to ask me, you should go to an island with Ma'am Elain there and have sex. She'll be happy and you'll be happy, too,” he said while showing him the advertising photos of Desire Island.

“Stupid, maybe you need something again from Eros that's why you're advertising his island again! Monkey!” Brennon mocked. Louis took his gun and pointed it at them.

“Useless idiots, get out!” he shouted. The three quickly went out of Louis' office because of fear.

“Fuckers. You're all ruining my business,” Volstrige said when they got out. Because he was about to persuade Louis if not for them.

The truth is, Louis' mother called him to convince Louis to go to Desire Island to celebrate Valentine's Day there with his wife. If he succeeded, she would give him a restaurant. It failed because of these two monkeys.

Louis kept pacing back and forth, that's why he called his cousin who's in the United States, Juliana Montemayor.

“Hello, Louis. Do you need something?” she asked. She was Kaizer's sister who was studying at Harvard. She's the smartest among all her siblings. Aside from it, she was the only girl in the Kaizer's siblings.

“Yes, what should I give to a woman?” he directly asked. She laughed because this is the first time that her cousin asked something like this.

“Are you serious? And who's the lucky woman?” Juliana asked because she was curious. This is the first time that Louis asked her a question about a woman.

“None of your business. If you want to see your boyfriend alive, you should tell me,” he warned, which made Juliana cough because she didn't tell Louis that she has a boyfriend.

“Fine. What can I do? Hmm. Bouquets and chocolates are too common. How about dogs or cats?” she suggested while busy answering her activities.

“Where is Alexa? Tell her that she should bring the most expensive dog and cat to my mansion before Valentine's Day. I will transfer the money later,” Louis said and was about to drop the call when Juliana spoke.

“Wait, how can we bring those?” she asked because what Louis wants them to do is impossible. And they only have a day to accomplish it.

“Use my private airplane. Say my name at the airport. I will tell Valerian,” Louis said and dropped the call. He reached for the briefcase on the table.

He's planning to visit Eros to rent Desire Island for Valentine's Day. He wanted to be alone with Elaine on that day.

He doesn't know why he feels different with Elaine. He doesn't care about occasions like this in the past, maybe he just doesn't want to disappoint his father. He was just doing it for himself and not for Elaine, he convinced himself.

“Boss, where'd you go?” Volstrige asked that he didn't answer. That's why Volstrige was just following him like a dog.

“Sir Louis, you have a meeting later at 1 p.m.,” she said. She was biting her lips, seducing him. She changed her clothes. Her cleavage was too exposed compared to earlier. Her skirt was too short that he could see her panty.

“You're fired,” Louis said and walked fast. Tifanny held him and his elbow made contact with her cleavage.

“Sir, have mercy, please. I really need this job,” the woman begged. She pulled Louis' elbow near to her cleavage. Louis just pulled his elbow away.

“Boss, looks like your secretary has feelings for you. Oh, what would Ma'am Elaine say once she found out that your elbow made contact on another woman's cleavage?” Volstrige murmured. Tiffany was shocked and knelt to beg for Louis' forgiveness.

“Leave before I bury you alive,” Louis warned. The woman quickly walked out.

“Am I seeing this right? Louis Montemayor is loyal now?” Kaizer mocked while holding some files.

“Mind your own business, dickhead,” Louis said. He was about to go out when Kaizer spoke.

“I got the information you want to know with Mariella's father,” Kaizer said. He gave the white folder containing the information. “Where are you going?” Kaizer added. Louis just glared at him.

“When did I permit you to ask me a question?” Louis said. The tension went high between them.

“You didn't do anything to Elaine, did you?” he asked. Anger was evident in his voice.

“What will you do if I say that we had an exciting night yesterday?” Louis answered. The three teased him.

“Fuck, you're so great, boss!” Volstrige shouted while they were clapping their hands. Kaizer took out his gun and pointed it at Louis.

“Sir Louis Montemayor,” said the man who was running towards them. He looked troubled.

“My boss, Sirius Montemayor, needs your help. He is now in jail,” he said. When his gaze went to Kaizer who was holding a gun, he lowered his head in fear.

“Have mercy on me, Sir Kaizer. I'm just here to ask for help for your cousin,” the man begged. Louis and Kaizer knew him because he was Sirius' butler.

“You should know the consequences if this is not important,” Louis warned and left to ride on his Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita.

This is the first time that Sirius Montemayor needed his help. He knew his cousin so much that he will never ask for help from anyone because of his pride.
