France POGI este POV

"...ikinagulat na lamang ng mga nakakarami na naikulong nga si France Xavier Almante noong sabado. Ayon sa mga pulis, binugbog niya ang anak ng CEO ng Smithsonian Corporation na si Kaden Smith sa hindi malamang dahilan. Tumangging sumagot ang pamilya Almante at ang Omega Network ang tawag namin para tanungin ang tungkol dito. Pero kahapon ng madaling araw, binayaran na ng dating Executive Director ng Omega Network na si Paris Almante ang pagpalaya ng phenomenal teen star."

I immediately turned the TV off.

My name has been in the headlines for four days in a row. My fanbase are slowly shrinking into thirds and threw harsh comments at me. Little did they know the Santibañez family paid the media to cover up their names.

They wanted to destroy me just because I asked their precious jewel her hand for marriage.

All of my upcoming projects have been cancelled because my reputation is sinking. I don't even have the guts of opening my social media accounts because I'd read nothing but bashes. If only they know the real story as to why I beat the crap out of that Kaden Smith.

He stole my girlfriend's freedom away from her. Hearing how she has locked herself up in her own room refusing to come out breaks my heart. She deserves to see the sun at least. They treated her like an actual prisoner. I couldn't help but blame it all on me. If only she hadn't met me that one night, she would never go through this torture.

I've been banned from seeing my daughter too. I wonder if my little girl's doing okay. Is she happy? Does she know about the things that are happening right now? I hope not. I want her to stay happy even if it means I won't get to see her again. I just don't her smile to disappear. She is my world now. Her and her mother.

I chugged down the remaining liquor straight from the bottle. I forgot what it feels like to be sober within three days. Kaden Smith has the guts of stealing Amber away from me. I'll beat the crap out of him once I've seen him again.

"Dude, you look like shit."

Napalingon naman ako sa pumasok. How the hell did these idiots got in?

"The door's unlocked, you idiot." Sabi ni Ji sabay tinapik ang likod ko. "Ang daya naman kung ikaw lang iinom, diba? Tara sa Rezo. Libre ko na."

Is he kidding me? That place is owned by my girl's family. They don't wanna see me near their property, including her. As if Kevin read my mind, he placed his arm on my shoulders.

"You'll be fine. Suki ka naman nila eh." Nawalan na ako ng choice nang buhatin nila akong tatlo't dinala sa sasakyan.

"This is kidnapping!" Sigaw ko. "Let go of me!"

"Kantahan mo nga ng Let It Go, Zayne. Baka mag-stay siya." Sinamaan ko ng titig si Ji na tumatawa habang nagmamaneho.

"Subukan mo lang, Zayne!"

"Edi susubukan."

"Don't!"

"Ang gulo mo rin, France." Napakamot pa ng batok si Zayne.

"Andito na tayo, mga brad! WALWAL NA THIS!!!"

I can't believe I'm stuck with these idiots.

****

"Alam mo, pare." Zayne hiccuped while aggressively patting my back, "ang mga gwapong tulad natin," another hiccup, "ay hindi marunong sumuko pagdating sa babaeng," he burped this time, "mahal nila."
