Chapter 1 || The Bitch

"Kriella Fayen Fajardo," tawag saakin ni Dad habang nakahawak ng wine glass at itinaas ito.
"Yes, Dad?" Sabi ko naman sa kanya.

Sinenyasan niya ako na umupo sa tabi niyang upuan. It seems like he wanted to talk about something. Sumunod naman ako sa kanya. Mukhang seryoso toh. Just the way he says my full name made me shiver. I admit that I'm afraid of Dad kapag ganito ka seryoso siya. Baka kung ano na naman ang sabihin niya na ginawa 'kong mali.

Pinagsalin niya ako ng wine glass at inabot iyon sakin. I gladly take it and take a sip. Hinihintay ko lang kung anong sabihin niya, ewan ko ba kay Dad, seryoso masyado.

"I heard that your dating the son of Mr. Romualdez, our business rival?" Pagsisimula ni Dad.

Napatigil naman ako sa paginom at nilapag ang wine glass.

"It's nothing serious, Dad. I was just having fun with him." I said and my eyes bored to him.

Napatikhim naman si Dad at napatingin saakin ng seryoso. Hayy! Here we go again.

"Kelan ka ba matututo? You've been having fun with too many guys, and hindi ko na alam kung sino-sino naman. What if he's a drug lord or drug pusher or a syndicate? You'll be in danger, ayokong mapahamak ka, anak." Nag-aalalang sabi saakin ni Dad.

"Don't worry about it. There's nothing serious and they knew about it. My job is my first priority. You and Mom are my priorities also." I said as a matter of fact.

Dad knew about my flings with other men pero alam niya naman na wala akong sineryoso, my only goal is to succeed more in life and make my family happy, okay na saakin yun. I'm the only heiress of Fajardo Modeling Agency, alam ni Dad since bata pa lamang ako I always wanted to be the next to be the CEO, and Dad just make my dreams come true. Now, The Kriella Fayen Fajardo, daughter of Felix Fajardo and Karmien Fajardo, is now the new CEO of Fajardo Modeling Agency.

Hindi sa dahil na anak ako ni Dad ay easy-easy ko lang makukuha ang company, hindi. I gain blood, sweat and tears first before I achieve who I am now. Dumaan ako sa hirap para makamit ang kung anong meron ako ngayon, and I'm a very much thankful to Dad dahil he make a better and stronger me.

As my 5 years of being the CEO, malaki ang pinagbago nito. I didn't change anything kung ano ang sinimulan ni Dad pero mas lumago ito. My friends called me shark in business. Hindi ako basta-basta nalang tumatanggap ng investors and partners, I made sure na malaki ang maitutulong nila at kung ano ang kontribusyon nila para sa business. I'm ruthless in business industry and kahit minsan ay walang nagtangkang sumira sa kompanya namin, coz they knew kung sino ang binabangga nila.

All my life since I was a kid, I was trained for this. I was taught how to run a business, how to be the boss and how I deal with people in temrs of networking. Lucky for me, I'm a fast-learner and kinda adapt well. Learning throughout is not easy for me too. Dad is very strict when disciplining me, I keep whining how hard it is and he's just so consistent. 

"Sweetie, just please be careful. Ayaw namin ni Mom mo na mapahamak ka," sabi ni Dad.

"Of course, dad."

"And kelan ka magkakaroon ng boyfriend? Tatanda na ako anak, baka magka-asawa ka kung kulubot na kami ng mom mo," nasamid ako sa aking iniinom ng sabihin iyon ni Dad.

Pinahiran ko muna tung bibig ko.

"Dad, mygosh! I'm only 27 for pete's sake! And sinabi ko naman sa iyo na company and family first before anything. Makakapaghintay pa yang pagla-lovelife." I said.

Nalungkot naman ang mukha ni Dad. Kung nandito lang si Mom baka malungkot din. They've been bugging me since last month kung may boyfriend na ba ako. They always get dissapointed na wala knowing na may ka-flings ako. Mom always linked me with her amigas' sons and playing to be a matchmaker pero hindi naman umuubra dahil mga kabarkada ko at friends yung iba. No feelings.

"I want to see my grandchildren grow before I passed away in this world. I want to see you having a happy family with a happy life. I wanted to see you happy." He said at nagsalin ng bagong wine sa baso.

"Stop being sentimental, Dad. Matagal pa iyon, and I'm happy of what I have and I am now, I'm contented and happy." I said. Eager talaga silang magka-boyfriend ako.

The atmosphere between us remain silent. Nage-enjoy lang kami umiinom ni Dad mg may tumawag sa phone ko.

I excused myself for a minute at sinagot ang phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi babe," sabi nung nasa linya.

Napangiti naman ako kaagad.

"Hey, why a sudden phone call?"

"Can't I call to my girlfriend?"

Napaasim agad ang mukha ko. Bastard! He knew we had a deal.

"I'm not your girlfriend and we had a deal. I don't do relationship so back off. We made a deal na mag-flings lang tayo, Marco." I spat to him.

They knew me, at ayaw na ayaw ko ang nasa relationship. It's just a waste of time. Having chocolates, flowers, love letters and etcetera. I am not bitter pero sadyang hindi ako yung tipo ng tao na gusto ang committment. If I want to settle down, I will only give my committment and loyalty to the one I love. As for now, I'll just have fun muna.

"Okay, chill. But...can I atleast court you. I love you, babe and I can't hide my feelings anymore. I wanted to-" I cut him before he say another word.

"Shut up, and we're done. You broke the deal and now find someone who'll want to be your girlfriend. Ciao." I lastly said before I ended the call. There's no use hearing on what he'll say dahil alam ko na ipipilit lang niya ang sarili niya saakin.

Nakailang missed call pa ang natanggap ko galing sakanya, I decided to block his number at tinago ang phone bago bumalik kung nasaan si Dad.

Judge me or call me a bitch, pero wala akong pake. I am not a whore, hindi ko ibinibenta ang sarili ko just to satisfy what I need. Just some flings to make out, pero nothing's beyond that. Just purely make out, and no strings attached. If your wondering if I'm a virgin, then yes, I'm still am. Hindi ko ibinibigay ang sarili ko sa lalake, we just do kissing and some stuff pero yun na 'yon. They knew about me and what i'll do kaya wala silang magagawa. That's not my problem if they want me to be their lover.

"Who's that?" Tanong naman ni Dad, saw me approaching him.

I shrugged at umupo.

"Marco Romualdez. He wanted to be my boyfriend, so I'm done with him." I simply said bago kinuha ang wine at uminom.

Napatawa naman si Dad sa sinabi ko. "You're just like your mom. She's like that when she was your age."

"Well, what can I say. Like mother like daughter."

"Indeed," napatangon naman si Dad pero napatawa na rin.
