Taming A Beast (Passion Series #1)

Prologue

WARNING: SPG.
---------------------

Have you ever wonder why sometimes you can't control your body needs?

I stared at my reflection on the mirror before I stretch my arms right up on the air above my head, trying to distract myself. Nothing's changed. I am still the same, like nothing happened.

Pinasadahan ko lang ng palad ang aking mahabang buhok matapos kong mag-inat-inat bago humugot ng malalim na hininga. Tiningnan ko ang aking repleksyon sa salamin at doon ko na napagmasdan nang maayos ang sarili ko.

I inherited some parts of my mother, Stacey Mariz Laurent, just like her body and her face. I have this pointed nose, these brown eyes and pinkish lips. The color of my long hair is the combination of brown-black and chestnut brown. I also have dimples on my cheeks, same as my mother. My skin is white as snow.

Staring at my face now.. I really look like her. Sa katawan ko rin ay halos magkapareha na kami. My body sizes are thirty-five, twenty-five, thirty-five while my mother's body sizes are thirty-seven, twenty-six, thirty-seven.

"Darling, are you there?"

The knock on the door caught my attention, it cut me sinking in my thoughts. I am here inside my room, standing and staring at my reflection on the mirror. I took a deeply sigh and walked on the way to the door. Pinihit ko ang doorknob 'tsaka binuksan na ang pinto. Si mommy kaagad ang bumungad sa akin.

I emotionlessly stared at her when I found out that she is not alone. I just arched a brow to the man behind her. Clenching my fist and gritted my teeth slyly.

"What's the meaning of this, mom? Again?" I asked my mother furiously. I am so enraged from what I just saw.

She smiled, ignoring my reaction. "Darling, this is Vince."

Napahalakhak ako at umirap sa kawalan. This is what I hate the most! Dapat nga ay masanay na ako eh! At dapat ay hindi na ako nakikialam pa! It's her life! Labas na siguro ako sa kung ano ang gusto niyang gawin sa buhay, tutal hindi niya naman ako kailan man pinakikinggan.

"I met Aaron Vincent last two months ago, Steris, I brought him here because I want you to meet him." she said casually, like this is not a big deal to me.

"Yeah?" I arched a brow and took a glance at her man. Her man looks so grave wearing his blue eyes. That freaking eyes made me remember someone I want to forget! Shit! "What's your plan now, mom?" I almost sound sarcastic as I asked my mother, ignoring what I suddenly remembered because of her man.

"Uhm..." She cleared her throat and glimpsed at the man behind her before she look back at me. "We're planning to marry each other, Stella Maris."

The fragility filled in my heart, breaking and tearing it into pieces. It crushed me because I never expected to hear that from my mother. I just looked away and acted like I heard nothing. I really hate her for being like this! Wala pang isang taon na pumanaw si daddy ay parami nang parami na ang lalaki ni mommy!

Nasanay na ako kay mommy na paiba-iba ang lalaki, pero... hindi ito ang inaasahan ko, na nagplaplano na siyang pakasalan ang taong kakilala niya lang sa loob ng dalawang buwang nakaraan.

"Do what you want to do, mom... but don't expect that I will be one of your guests on your wedding."

That is the last thing I said before I close the door. Alam kong masyadong nakababastos ang ginawa ko pero sobra na kasi. Parang wala lang kay mommy ang pagkawala ni daddy! Parang nagwiwindag pa siya dahil sa wakas ay may kalayaan na siya, samantalang ako naman ay nagluluksa sa pagkamatay ni daddy.
