A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER NINE: Pops
LANDON's POVAfter gym, I went straight to my flat to try and take some more sleep before working. When I woke up, Miss Anjie, my secretary had rang my phone seventeen times already and left me one hundred five messages. "Chill, Anjie. What do you want?" I ask the phone screen while I go through her messages one by one.Halos pare-parehas lang naman ang lahat ng sinasabi niya. Puro papers from our partners na kailangan ko nang pirmahan sa lalong madaling panahon.I rolled my eyes as I force myself out of the bed. Nakakatamad kumilos lalo na ngayong maulan. Parang gusto ko na lang na humiga at matulog buong araw.I mean I could do it pero I'm not sure if my father would be happy with that. He wants me to get my life straight. Sabi ko nga eh ako na ang bahala sa buhay ko pero sadyang wala lang talaga siyang tiwala sa akin.Sabi pa nga niya noon, wala raw akong sense of independency. Malay ko ba sa tatay ko kasi as far as I know, I am the best at what I do. Ako naman talaga ang karapat
A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER TEN: Han effect
LANDON's POV"Duuuude, I don't know why you guys are so crazy about this thing. I mean, you guys already want to get married?" Shernon walks around my flat while he wipes every single piece of furniture that he sees. Shernon is pretty obsessed with cleanliness. He actually got diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Order. Sabi niya ngayon, he needs to go through four rounds of cleaning or else one of us will get hurt.Skyler shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty happy with my marriage now. I say that the Miss Night thing is so effective.""Huwag naman kayo mag madali, mga bro. Baka sa susunod eh di na tayo makapag party party nyan. Next thing we know sa halip na alcohol ang dala niyo, mga babies na." Casper said.I almost threw up with the idea. Me, a dad? No dude. That child would be poor. Not in terms of money but that baby's relationship with me. I didn't grew up in an affectionate home. My mom died while giving birth to our youngest sibling. Naaalala ko nanaman
A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER ELEVEN: Glimpse of his past
SAMSARA's POV"Basta, all you need to do is be yourself. Wag na wag kang magpapanggap na parang iba kang tao. Ayaw na ayaw yon ni Landon." Paalala sa akin ni Lemery habang kinukulot ang dulo ng buhok ko."Sabi ka nang sabi kung anong ayaw ng lalaking yon, sinabi ba ni Skyler sa kanya kung anong ayaw ko?" Tanong ko naman sa kanya.Mula mag simula niya akong ayusan ay hindi na siya tumigil kakadaldal kung ano ang dapat kong i-expect kay Landon. Pati na rin ang mga ayaw nito sa mga tao.Ayaw daw ni Skyler ng balagbag na tao. Ayaw niya ng malakas ngumuya dahil irritable raw siya roon. Ayaw niya rin ng masyadong galawgaw. Ayaw niya rin ng mga pekeng kilos at ugali, madali raw niyang nalalaman kung totoo ba ang ikinikilos at ugali ng isang tao kaya raw mag-iingat ako."I think. Malamang naman ay ganito rin ang ginagawa nung dalawa ngayon. Basta ah, wag ka lang maiilang. At tsaka medyo masungit at istrikto talaga ang mga tao doon sa Miss Night, wag mo na lang masyadong isipin.""Okay, nakaka
A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER TWELVE: The Night
LANDON's POVWhile in the car, Skyler won't stop talking to me about what he and Lemery had talked about.Mahigpit daw siyang binilinan ni Lemery na pag sabihan ako tungkol sa mga ayaw ni Samsara. I mean, do I need to know about that? I'm sure I will like her. I have to like her. I have to get along with her so I could bring her to dinner next week.Kung magpa-pass nanaman ako sa tatay ko at babawiin ang sinabi ko nung nakaraan sa kanya, magtataka nanaman yon. He will surely blame me for not inserting any effort into finding someone.Buti sana kung madali, but we are talking about marriage here. Actually getting married to someone, a whole human-being. Ilang gabi na rin akong hindi makatulog ng maayos dahil sa totoo lang ay hindi pa ako handang isuko ang pagka binata ko. But then, every time I close my eyes, I see my father's face. Then the next thing I know is that I can hear her voice continuously pushing me to be decent and marry a woman."Just don't be rude, okay? Pinagdidiinan sa
A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER THIRTEEN: Eye to Eye
SAMSARA's POVMatapos akong i drop off ni Lemery sa location ay hindi ko mawari kung saan dapat ako pupunta. Halos walang tao rito sa labas nung umalis na si Lemery.Isang babae at isang lalaki lang ang nakatayo sa pintuan ng entrance at nung lumakad na ako papalapit ay lumakad na rin papalapit sa akin ang babaeng nakasuot ng black na dress."A lovely evening, Ms. Samsara Sakura. I am Cassandra, your personal assistant for this evening. This is Leo, your personal security for this evening. How's your travel here?" Tunog elegante ang boses ng babae. Halatang sanay na sanay sa ginagawa niya base sa kung paano siya kumilos.Binigyan ko siya ng isang ngiti. "Hello, okay naman. Medyo nakakatakot pala ang lugar niyo. Masyado ring liblib and daanan. Nako! Puro puno at puro bukid." Kwento ko naman.Bahagya namang natawa si Miss Cassandra. "That's right. Sinadya talaga namin na ganito ang lugar because we value the privacy of our clients and girls." Paliwanag naman niya. "Follow me, please."P
A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER FOURTEEN: Contract
LANDON's POVI stood up when we were told to. Umikot ako sa lamesa to face her, and when I touched her, I immediately pulled my hands off when I felt her got nervous.Matangkad si Samsara para sa babae, but not that tall to match my height. Hanggang sa mata ko lang siya. She is much more prettier up this close.When Miss Avon saw us all together with our partners, she gave us a big smile before offering us the floor. "We are now giving you the floor for you first dance with your future wife." Sabi niya.After she said it, onti onting pumwesto ang lahat sa gitna ng floor. When Samsara faced me, she kept her head down to my chest. The song started and everyone except us are already positioned for dancing. Hindi man lang ako tinitignan o hinahawakan ni Samsara,So I did the first move. I gently touched her waist and pulled her closer to mine. Nang maramdaman ko nang nakadikit na ang katawan niya sa akin ay hinawakan ko ang kamay niya at inilagay ito sa balikat ko.I can feel her warmth
A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER FIFTEEN: Home
SAMSARA's POV Noong bata pa ako, sanay ako sa palo ni mama at papa. Ayon kasi ang porma at paraan ng pagdidisiplina nila sa akin. Ilang taon din akong only child bago ipinanganak si tonton. Tapos nung pinanganak na si tonton, halos minsan na lang akong bigyan ng atensyon ni mama at papa. Naintindihan ko naman iyon at wala naman akong sama ng loob lalo na at dahil doon ay natuto akong maging mag isa. Nung ipinangannak na kasi si tonton, sunod sunod na taon nag buntis ang nanay ko. Kaya nga medyo humirap ang buhay namin noon at natuto akong maging hustler na bata pa lang. Kahit minor pa ako ay sumaside line na ako sa pelengke. Lahat ng trabahong makikita ko noon ay sinubukan kong pasukin. Naging tindera ako ng isda sa palengke, tindera ng cd, babysitter, tagapag alaga ng matatanda, katulong, tagaluto sa karinderya, pet sitter, pati na rin ang pagiging isang katulong. Pero ang pinaka hindi ko makakalimutan ay noong nadistino ang tatay ko sa camp crame noong bata pa lamang ako at nagi
A Billionaire's Purchase CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Night dress
LANDON's POVNag madali akong pumasok sa kwarto ko. Samsara's already taking a shower while I am in here questioning my actions.Kung magkkwento si Samsara kay Lemery tungkol sa nangyari kanina, which is by the way happened because I took the first move-- bukod sa lagot ako ay siguradong madadamay si Skyler. Para kasi kay Lemery, magkadikit ang pusod namin ng asawa niya.Gusto kong ibahin si Samsara sa mga babaeng nakasama ko noon dahil iba naman talaga siya. She's not like those other women na nakasama ko lang ng isang gabi at pag umuwi na ay kakalimutan ko na. Most of the time, I don't even know their names.Andito si Samsara because as Miss Avon said, she will be the other half of my heart. Ang kaisang dibdib ko. Hindi ko lang talaga na-kontrol ang sarili ko kanina. Ang lakas pa ng loob ko na mag sabi sa kanya na 'control is my middle name' ni hindi ko nga natupad ang pangako ko kahit isang gabi lang.I should talk to her, right? I mean, maybe I made her really uncomfortable. Ofco
