Reese's POV

Okay naman ang naging takbo ng meeting, if you're gonna ask about the business thing. But the totality? It was a total bullshit.

He keeps on complaining, throwing that gazes and stares at me, questioning me, mocking and other. He was so damn irritating.

I'm talking about my dear brother.

But like what I said, at the end of the day, as long as you closed a deal, got a client, had expansion, got greater power and more money, everything's okay.

"Yes, okay naman sya. You cannot fetch me? It's okay baby. I'll just ask Manong Ricky. Yeah, totally. I love you." And I hang up. Damien called to tell me hindi nya ako masusundo. It's already 7 pm, I guess, and he has a photoshoot, biglaang photoshoot. He's that in demand, gabi na kumakayod pa sya. Damien's really a model to chase for.

Paalis na ako ng office, and just when I opened my door, he appeared. Oh my God. Why the hell is he here? The meeting was over at 5, and he's still here?

"Oh, Mr. Preston. What brought you here?" Kalmadong tanong ko. I even smiled at him. I need to be extra careful, and be professional.

I ain't gonna let some asshole deprive me, again.

"I just...wanna see you, Ms. Aphrodite," he said, giving me that look. That look that gave me shiver in an instant. His husky voice's telling me something. Not directly, but my body definitely feel it. It's radiating all over my being right now.

And I want it all out.

"I see. Do you wanna talk about the partnership?" I wanna give myself a slow clap for being still and firm even though I feel like bursting inside. Halo-halong emosyon ang nararamdaman ko. I feel angry, sad, confused, dirty...

I can never forget how he took my dignity years ago.

I am blessed Damien brought it back for me.

He gave me that look again. And I feel like falling. My knees became jelly.

Just when I thought I was about to fall, he grabbed me by my neck and kissed me, hard.

"Hmmn, st-stop," I said between his kiss. Yes, his kiss because I'm not responding on it. Tinutulak ko sya palayo. Moments later, I tasted blood. He's being harsh for fuck's sake!

I got the opportunity to kick him at his groins. He immediately broke the kiss and held his junior part. Yeah, die there, asshole.

"Why did you kiss me?!" I shouted angrily. I feel so violated. How did he manage to do shitty things after everything? He's a fucking asshole and I wanna give him an award of slap for being the worst one.

"Are you thinking? Huh?! You fucking kissed me! You--" naputol ang sasabihin ko because even he feels hurt down there, he managed to stand straight, though namimilipit sya. He gave me that mocking look and smirked.

"Why are you acting like a virgin? I even fucked you years ago," he said it as if it was the biggest joke ever.

Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko. Napapikit ako at naramdaman kong umagos ang mainit kong mga luha sa pisngi ko. Nag-uuhanan silang kumawala sa mga mata ko.
