Ericka's pov
"Why are you so beautiful?" I laughed at the photographer infront of me. He had this amusement smile on his face that I can't name if it's because of me or because of my talent.
"I don't know, maybe because when God rained gorgeousness, I catched them all? Or Im realky just bor this beautiful?" I said and laugh at my own words. Gosh, why am I so full of myself? Must be because of the necklace im wearing? I buyed it a week ago, and I only had the chance to wear it today because in those past seven day's, I was busy wearing different companies necklaces to model and promote them.
"Must be?" Carl said and laughed, I couldn't get to laugh again because I was doing my work, whivh is modeling. I'm wearing a summer upshoulder dress, with a slit on my right legs, and it hug's perfectly on my body. It's comapny is one of the top 20 most famous company in the whole asia.
After a couple of shoots we finally callep it off. I was currently putting a new released lipstick on my lips here inside my dressing room, when I felt my phone vibrated inside my gucci bag. I snout my lips and made a pop before taking my phone out of my bag.
"Sup!" I loudspeak the phone, because I was busy fixing up my clothes. I heard her sigh.
"It's almost 7 b@tch, when are you comming?" My eyes widen with her news, damn. I forgot about the dinner.
"Sorry, became busy lately. I'm on my way, tell your mom."I said to her and hanged up. I look at my self in the mirror before I left the room. I drove my car at the Armani's resident. The home of the famous and richest famiky here in italy. The Armani couples were known to be cold and heartless by the public, but little did they know, is that those couple, they can do more than those words discribe them would probably be ashamed because they were stick to their names. But their both cool and an awesome couple, they can do bad things if someone do bad things to them, or else, you know what's next.
"Finally!" I chuckled when my friend fetch me at their oh so wide door. We kissed both our checks as a sign of greetings. We both hold our hands as we entered their castle-thats what I prefer to call it. Big houses of rich families doesn't really amaze me that much but their house is 'too much'!. The walls were made of a damn glass! But people outside cannot see the inside, and the walls were filled with both gems and pearls! And their lights? Well, It was just made by golds! Are they really that rich? Yes. Their family were rich since a 159 years ago and counting. And everytime I'll come here, it makes me feel like im so damn poor! When infact I had billions of dollars coming inside my cards every damn day, but that doesn't make me more richer than them nor made us both. Their still high, just like the sky. But even though their that rich, they still know what 'respect' meant. They were all kind and sweet, only to those people who knew them.
When we entered the house we were greeted by lots of food. Are they heling a feast?
"Anong meron?"(What up) I asked my friend Amy which is the host's daughter and my bestfriend.
"Why is your kom holding a feast?"I asked her as I roamed my eyes around their very long dinner table. And it was all filled with the famous Italian and filipino foods! Amethyst groaned, I look at her and she's rolling her eyes while her arms is crossed.
"Because her favorite 'guest' is coming and her lovely bastard son has finally come home after 6 months." She said and rolled her eyes. I chuckled at the word "guest".
"Why didn't you told me you had a brother?" I asked her. She gave me a bored look.
"I don't have to. And his such a jerk! 6 months ago he came back surprising us, and the next day his damn gone! What do you think I should do? He doesn't deserve to be my brother.....for now....?" I giggled at the question mark she had on her words. She gave me her most deadliest glare.
"Don't you fvcking dare laugh at me. Because as far as I remember, you almost killed Vanessa for leaving without telling you!" She exclaimed angrily and I just laughed at her.
"That was ages ago, Amy. And I already move on after she buyed me my favorite." I said, she rolled her eyes and pouted her lips.
"Yeah right. You easily forgot about someones mistake just because they buy you your favorite." She borefly said, as she rolled her eyes.l at me. I chuckled at her reaction as I remember Vanessa my childhood bestfriend who left the Philippines a year ago, without telling me. If I didn't just accidentally saw her, I don't know what would I do. Well I can kill her, for lying ang making me look like a fool but no. She's still my friend. But 2 days after we saw each other, my hatred towards her fadded, when she bought be dozens of boxes containing strawberries all over the country, and she even bought the so calked white strawberries! Who would still be angry with that? Not me.
"But anyway, to make the story short, he showed up right infront of our parents, in their bed, and my parents almost had an heart attack" Amy said that made me laughed my lungs out, that's when tita Crystal noticed us.
"Marrian, darling!" She exclaimed, and she had this saccharine smile plastered on her lips, expressing her excitement, that made be stop. With that expression of hers, I had a bad feeling about it. I smiled something fishy. I took her hand and put touch the back of her hand to my forehead, and we filipino's called it, bless. It's a filipino sign of respect for the elders.
"Thank you for inviting me, tita." I said as I kissed her checks.
"You don't have to thank me, Your always welcome here sweetie. And oh, have you met Xander?" Uh-oh. I think I knew what's gonna happen next. I glanced at Amy, and she pretended to be busy on scrolling her phone when I know for damn sure that she's just scrolling and nothing else, it just to cover her from listening to us. This traitor!
I awkwardly smiled at tita Crystal.
"I haven't seen him, and Amy didn't tell me about him." I said politely as I glanced and my friend and gave her my most deadliest glare. This woman is such a b!tch! How dare she betrayed me!? Damn her! Tuta crystal glared at her daughter. Serves you right, hmp.
"Don't mind this brat. Anyway how are you?" She asked.
"Good as ever, but still busy as always, since the so called "affair" of me and tito (uncle) Tom, happened last week, our sales raise up, I don't know if it's goid or not but it made my company more known so maybe the "misunderstanding" do good for my company." I said and we both laughed at the tought of it. We talked for hours? I think, I didn't got tract at the time because we were havibg fub taking about the past and what would happen in the future and of course, the nature of filipino's taking about someones life. It's a bad thought but don't just us, yes people are toxic because even though they didn't know the reason behind a scandal, as long as it's the person they hate or they do not liked at first glance, if course they would talk badly to them. But that's not what our talk about, but their passed memory from the past. Our talked was interrupted by the maid who tolf us that the dinner is already serve.
"Serve? Aren't the food is already at the table?" I ask tita Crystal with a lour expression. She gave me a weird look. I glanced at Amy and she gave her a 'what-is-happening' look, and she rolled her eyes at me. Me?!😤
"Your silly darling, the food at our table is just for appetizers." She said that made my mouth hanged open. A what? That damn table full of food is 'just' fir a damn appetizers? Rich people is so damn weird. I took a few deed breaths to calm myself as I asked tita to excuse myself, because I think I had to gave myself some air.
I've been here by the time I step in the italian soil. I haven't got to arrange my papers when I came here and it includes the house that I'm currently staying at now,I don't know where to go that time, good thing that I accidentally met Amy at the airport were she accompanied her cousin to its flight, since it was not the familiar of the place. So she volunteered to accompany her. And that is the start of me becoming a part of this 'family'.
I hugged my self as the wind touches my skin. I forgot my blazer inside. I closed my eyes and feel the cold breeze of the air, and the scent of flowers that was taken by the wind. Peace. The only thing I lacked at my life. My life is always a mess, and me, myself couldn't have the guts to fix it. I'm afraid. I can't risk it, knowing that I had enemies akl around the globe, waiting....and watching me fall.
"It's cold out here."
"What the hell-fvck!" I shouted when I was about to turn around, I lost my balance. I closed my eyes and wait for my body to touch the grass but instead, I fell on a hard but a soft what is this?.... A thing? I heard someone graoned so I opened my eyes only to find out that I was lying on top of someone and my hand....God forgive me.
"I'm so sorry." I said with my tomato face, and help him to stand up. I wasn't able to look at his face not just because my face is red as a tomato but because of.....
"We only met each other, but you got to hold my 'soldier'." My head immediately faced him with widen eyes. His what? "Soldier"?
"I-it wasn't my f-fault! I-it was y-you! You startled m-me." Why the hell am I stammering? Why is it hot here?
He look at me with his deep ocean eyes, even though it's dark out here, I can clearly see his pointed nose, thicked brows, firm jaw line and damn, the lips! What is he? A Geeek God from those myths? And why does he looked so familiar?
"Finished?" His voice made me came back to reality. I gave him a curious look. He chuckled at my curious expression.
"You were staring at me. You finished staring? Do you want to see what's beneath my clothes too?" slowly, he leaned close to me until the tip of our nose's touch. And then suddenly, he kissed me!. My eyes widen in shock and he took it as his opportunity to lean me on the nearest wall. He sneaked his hand on my waist and the ither is on the back of my beck deepened the kiss, and I can do nothing but drown into the pleasure his gaving me.
"Ericka?" I felt like reality slapped me, when I heard Amy's voice. I used all my force to push him and used all my strength to slap him hard, that would probebly made a bruise on his face.
"Bastos!" I shouted angrily to him, as I marched back inside the house.
"Nice *** by the way!"He shouted. I halted, turned around and throw him my 5 inch channel red shoes, and bull's eye! The "egg" probably cracked.
"Pervert." I said again and left him there groaning in pain, because my channel heel, just hit his small balls!
