Under The Stars

PROLOGUE

I'm sitting in my father's office, processing everything my stepmother said. Why would my father do that? Why would he choose to not give me the business? I am his biological son. 

It's been three months since my father died at si Eljun ang pinag takeover sa company na dapat na ako dahil ako ang trinain ni papa sa pamamahala. And now kakabasa lang ni Atty. Mendoza ng last will ni papa. Pinakita niya ito sa akin. Iba ang sulat. Kagaya ng pirma pero hindi katulad ng penmanship ni papa. It's fake!

"So now I assumed you already know what to do." Porsia laughed hysterically.

"What?" Naguguluhan ko na tanong. 

"Your father left you with nothing. Even this house and the money that you have is not yours. It's ours. Kaya dapat lang na lumayas ka na dito at ibigay ang lahat ng cards mo." My stepbrother said.

Galit akong tumayo at sinugod si Eljun. "Why the hell I would do that?" Hinawakan ko siya sa kwelyo. "I am his son. I am the real Villalino. I deserve every single money that I have because it's my parents' money."

"He is your father pero sa akin iniwan ang lahat? He don't love you Dark." Nginisihan ako ni Eljun. "Mas mahal niya ang pangalawang pamilya niya kesa sayo."

Hindi na ako nakapag timpi pa sinuntok ko siya buong pwersa. Susugod sana muli ako ng hilain ako ni Hercules at inilayo doon. "YOU FUCKING GOLD DIGGERS. THAT LAST WILL IS FAKE AND I WILL PROVE IT TO YOU. JUST WAIT AND SEE." I left the mansion at nag tungo na lang sa condo where my girlfriend and I live.

I opened our room door only to see her things inside a huge bag. Lilith kept on packing her things.

"What the fuck are you doing Lilith?" Inagaw ko sa kanya ang gamit niya at hinawakan siya sa balikat.

He pushed me. "Totoo ba na hindi ikaw ang taga pagmana?"

"Y-yes. I mean no! Ako ang totoong Villlalino. Pinepeke lang nila ang last will ng tatay ko." I told her, as I tried to go near her but she keeps on pushing me.

"How do you think we will live? Paano tayo mabubuhay ng wala ang pera ng tatay mo? Paano mo ko bubuhayin?" She asked.

"May ipon ako, kaya kitang buhayin habang nag sisimula tayong muli." Inilabas ko ang singsing na nasa bulsa ko at lumuhod sa kanya. "Please babe, Marry me."

"You know, I deserve everything. You can't give me everything that I want, Dark. I don't deserve you." Nilampasan niya ako at isinarado ang maleta. "No, Dark Villalino. I will never marry you." She left the condo. She left me kneeling and crying.

My phone rang. It's my boss from the hotel na sinimulan kong pasukan this month lang when I notice na hinihold ni Porsia ang cards ko

"H-hello sir, good evening," I answered his call.

"Good evening, Dark. I am sorry. Hindi ka na pwedeng pumasok simula bukas." Nanlaki ang mata ko. What the hell?

"Sir, why?"

"You're fired." 

"How? Ginagawa ko ng maayos ang trabaho ko."

"You are unprofessional!" What the fuck? Si Porsia ang may pakana nito for sure. Sila ang may pakana.

"Sir, I am not unprofessional. I'm sure binayaran ka ni Porsia to do this." I accused him. "This is not even the proper way to fire your employees. I will sue you!"

"I'll wait for it." He hung up the call. 

Hindi ako gumalaw sa pwesto ko dahil pag katapos ng tawag, isang notification galing instagram ang nag pop up sa screen ko. It was posted by my brother.

I opened it, and it was him and Lilith in his car. Kissing each other with a caption of "Picking up my fiancée." So she said no because she is already engaged with Eljun?

I don't deserve you, but Eljun does? Really? Fuck this life!

Alam kong may gusto si Eljun kay Lilith pero hindi ito pumapatol and now na nalaman ni Lilith na si Eljun  'daw' ang taga pagmana engaged na agad sila? She's also a freaking gold digger! Mag sama sama sila sa impyerno!

I was so devastated and had nothing to do. The next thing I realized, I am walking on the side street. Drunk. Umiikot ang paligid at nag dadalawa ang paningin. I saw a pedestrian lane pero hindi ako sigurado kung alin dito and totoo. Sasandig sana ako sa poste na nakita pero malayo pa pala ang poste na yon. I fell to the ground, and I felt someone is on top of me. I opened my eyes to see who. It's a gorgeous woman. To bad gantong kalagayan niya ako nakita.

Yeah, this is my life after my father died. Darkness is all that I see. Just like my name, Dark Villalino.
