KANINA PA NANGINGISLAP ang mga mata at nanunubig ang bagang ni Ragnar Delaris habang pinagmamasdan ang magandang dilag na kaswal na kumakain sa kanyang harapan.
Mala-porselana ang kutis nito. Natatakpan ito nang kaunti ng pulang bestidang hapit sa bawat kurba ng katawan nitong perpektong nahulma. Subaybay siya sa bawat paggalaw ng nakakaakit nitong labi na pinantayan pa ng pulang-pulang kolorete. Ang mga mata nitong may natural na kislap at mahahabang pilikmata ay ginagayuma siya.
From the details of her face, his eyes went down to the lady's sexy collarbone. From its lining through the exposed shoulder, from her slender neck down to her beautifully-made cleavage that has been peeking from her decolletage, everything is marvelous. Ragnar has been holding the strong urge to bury his face to wherever he is capable to, as long as it's on the lady's body. He feels like just simply touching her skin could take him to heavens.
Well, there is no need to rush. Ragnar has to put up on his mask and play dignified. Seeing the beauty in front of him, he doesn't plan to get a taste of her just once. Therefore, in order to make a good impression, he shouldn't get to her bad side.
"I always knew that the fourth daughter is beautiful, but you're much out of the ordinary now that I can see you up close." Those complimentary words slid out of his tongue as if they're just memorized phrases on repeat.
Hindi naman siya kilalang babaero. Medyo lang.
The lady looked at him with flustered face. Halatang mahilig ito sa papuri, at natutuwa siya sa natanggap niyang reaksiyon.
"You flatter me," she shyly responded. Halata ang matigas nitong ingles. "Pero siguradong mapapasabi ka rin ng ganyan sa iba kong kapatid kapag sila ang kasama mo. 'Yung sumunod sa'kin, si Vanessa, she's the Aphrodite among us."
"Well," nagkibit-balikat si Ragnar at mapaglarong ngumiti, "you may be right, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve the compliment."
Kinikilig itong humagikhik kasabay ng pabirong pagpalo nito sa kamay niya.
Ragnar prevented himself from showing a sour expression. Sa behavior ng dalaga, natural lang sana na mangasim ang mukha niya.
Veloria Volkov is one of the daughters of Viktor Volkov, a Russian Prime Minister, and one of the richest personality in the face of Russia. Considering her identity, her behavior is lowly and undignified. Sa katunayan, ang katotohanang pinaunlakan nito agad ang paanyaya niyang kumain kasama ito ay masyado nang hindi kapani-paniwala. He himself knows it---someone like him would never get a chance to eat on the same table as the Volkov's.
But then, look. Isang Volkov ang nasa harapan niya at ganadong kumakain habang kinikilig sa mumunting papuring binibitawan niya. It may seem impossible, but for Ragnar, it is not actually surprising.
Veloria is a neglected daughter. She's not just simply neglected. Her father Viktor has given her the lowest number of monthly allowance. She could not meet her father unless he grants her an audience. All her sisters are of use to him, and she's the only one who never had the chance to help him in any way.
Viktor Volkov doesn't need her. In fact, he's disgusted of her. It is too obvious since he himself called her worthless and trash. If only Veloria's maternal family doesn't hold a power that is enough to threaten Viktor Volkov, he has already disposed her long ago.
Viktor tried to prevent the fact from spreading since it is indeed a humiliating news, but the truth is just too transparent not to see---his daughter Veloria is talentless, physically weak, and dumb. She could not serve him with her physical ability, she can't even be of use in creating strategies. She's completely worthless.
