Four Forever [Completed]

10 - Water - Arcella

(POV Avery)

I am Arcella, the goddess of water. Arcella sounds old-fashioned, so I chose the modern name Avery Silvestre.

I am known in many names in different parts of the world. They see me as a loving and a kind goddess, but I am not. Just like Arthos, I love playing with humans. Our task is to maintain balance in this world, but we do not have any special rules that we can't use humans as our pawns or as our toys.

If Arthos is so fond of luxurious nightclubs, mas prefer ko naman ang blinding lights ng runway. I am now posing as an international model as I love the spotlight during my fashion shows.

"Avery, sweetheart. The show is fantastic! Some of your sponsors would like to meet you personally," sabi ng manager ko na si Giorgio na pumasok sa dressing room.

Giorgio is a nice man, pero kulang na lang ibenta niya ko sa mga mayaman na businessman.

"Giorgio, I am tired. I want to go home right now," palusot ko sa kanya.

Of course, that is just bullshit. Hindi napapagod ang isang immortal na tulad ko.

"Sweetheart, I am begging you. Mr. Kevin Tan wants to meet you right now. Alam mo naman na nag-iisa siyang anak ng business tycoon na may hawak ng malaking hotel chains sa Pilipinas. Makakatulong siya sa career mo as he is a big fan of yours."

"Giorgio..."

"Avery, please? Hindi ka madi-disappoint. He is so gorgeous. Kung papatulan niya nga lang ako, aakitin ko siya."

"Fine, Giorgio."

"Thank you, sweetheart! You are the best!"

Kevin Tan. Ang lalaking kulang na lang ay habulin ako kung saan saan. He is a smart businessman, but he turned into a stupid creature when he became obsessed with me. I always try to avoid him, but since Giorgio begged this time, pagbibigyan ko siya.

The fashion show event hall is just adjacent to a luxury club that caters VIP only. I was asked by Giorgio to meet Kevin Tan in this upscale and sophisticated establishment.

Ten minutes. I have to waste ten fucking minutes of my immortal life with Kevin Tan...

Pagpasok ko sa club, I was greeted by my several colleagues. They are drowning themselves with dance, music and alcohol, the usual scenario in the club.

Within seconds, I saw Kevin Tan at the far end table. He is with some of his filthy rich friends with inflated ego.

"Avery, thank you for joining us today," Kevin said as he asked me to join them.

Pag upo ko sa tabi ni Kevin, my eyes caught someone else. The man sitting in the next table looked at me with so much disgust. He is tall with shiny black hair and a strikingly handsome face. His darker eyebrows and lashes made me gasped.

Who is this man? Why do I feel a sudden uneasiness by the way he looks at me?
