Prologue

"I'm sorry Sied, you are a good friend...but I don't love you more than a friend."

"Is it because of Eli, right?"

Sophia nod, "Yes."

I brushed my hands on my hair, feeling irritated and hurt. Why it has to be my best friend? Why my first love need to fall in-love to my bestfriend?

Maybe this is my karma for being a player before. Damn!

"It's not Eli's fault... It's me who fall in-love at him first. He don't know that I love him... actually I can't tell him that."

"Why? it's obvious he's in-love at you too."

That's the most painful part, I knew Eli loves Sophia too. I confessed to Sophia first before Eli does, hoping she'll choose me but maybe I hope too much.

"He... don't want to hurt you.", Sophia's voice start to tremble. "For Eli you are more than just a bestfriend, you are a precious brother. A brother he can't betrayed and hurt even at his own expense."

"Damn!", I said frustratedly.

Elizalde Andrade is my childhood bestfriend, he's the son of our family's driver and his mother served as a personal assistant of my mother. His family is one of the most loyal and trustworthy servants of us, that's why when his parents died, my parents took him and treated him as their own son, he just refused to be adopted by my parents. For him it's too much and he don't want to put me on a worst position as a future heir of Seymoure's Group of Companies (SGC).

We treated each other us brother, we're on each other side in bad times or good times. And now, he's giving up his own happiness for me? How I can take my brother's happiness?

I am willing to fight fair and square on him if I have a chance to Sophia. But now that I knew they love each other, what can I do? It's my lost.

"Seid... please don't tell him. I don't want him to avoid me, from the start he keep building you up on me and he's hoping that we'll have a good relationship in the future."

"What a stupid guy.", I murmured. "Hey, Sophia"

"Huh...yes?"

"Are you sure about him? Will you really be happy to be with him?"

"Yes.", she answered firmly.

I sighed, "Fine. I'll help you to get him."

"Huh? what? but why?"

"Well, we're brothers though not by blood. And as his brother I wish for his happiness and it's you."

"Seid..."

"I won't say I am fine that it's not hurting me. I got my heart broken just a while ago you know but... you two are both important to me. Just promise me you two will be happy, that's enough for me. And as for my broken heart, don't worry about it. For sure time will heal it."

"Thank you, Seid...thank you so much."

"Don't thank me yet. We still need to knock the head of that stupid Eli and make him realize his wrong decision. Let's go?"

"Yes!"

"..id"

"Seidfrid!"

I blink a couples of times and realize that I lost in my thought for a while.

"Are you okay?", the woman on top of me asked. "You suddenly just stop moving there."

"I'm fine."

"Really then we can continue right? Well, you're still ready down here.", she said while groping my front.

"I think we better not.", I lightly shove her out of me, take and put my clothes on.

"Hey, what are you doing?! don't tell me your leaving me hanging here?"

"I'm sorry, I am not in the mood now.", I said coldly and left her after I put money on the night table.

Well, how I can have sex with other woman after remembering my unrequited love?

But I wonder why now? it's been more than 10yrs. since I saw her and her family.

Sophia and Eli got married after they found out that Sophia was two months pregnant. We're just third year college that time, they both decide to stop studying for the mean time.

My parents respect Eli's decision to leave the mansion and start a new life with his wife. Dad took and trained Eli in one of our hotel, the next year Eli continue his study while working under Dad's supervision. After a few years, they offered him a work abroad as general manager in one of our hotel in Dubai.

After their daughter's 4th birthday they left the country and since then I never saw them again.

"Seid."

"Hm?", I asked my personal secretary/driver/adviser/friend, William.

"We're here. And I think you have a guest."

When I look outside, there is someone near the gate of my house. From the silhouette, it's a girl...a young girl.

"I didn't know you like young girl now. Did you change your preference?", he teased me.

William is my secretary since I started working for SGC and he knew all of my doings and escapades with differents women. And he knew I never laid my hands on woman younger than me especially to a minor.

I went outside and walked towards the young girl.

"Excuse me, do you need something?", I asked her.

And when she looked up on me, I felt my world stop. Her eyes are red and puffy from crying, but I can still recognized her face. How can I not? She has the same face of the woman I loved for a long time.

"...Sophia? but how..."

"M-Mister Seymoure...help my Mom...please.."
