Chapter 41 - Will You Still Love Me?

Chapter Forty One
"Will You Still Love Me?"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

"What the fuck Daniel?" Panimula sa akin ni Hans nang matapos ang photoshoot ko. Hinila kasi nito ako kaagad at dinala sa likod ng building.

"What?" Kunot noo kong tanong sa kaniya. Basta-basta na lang kasi itong hihila sa akin na galit na galit.

"About that night sa Club Monaco." Galit nitong tanong sa akin.

"And what about it?" Inis kong tanong sa kaniya. "Do you think it was okay?" I was pertaining about that night when one of the 'top models' harrassed me sexually. "Do you think I would just let him off the hook? Of course not." Pinulupot ko ang mga kamay ko.

"You're causing trouble."

"At ako pa talaga pulot dulo nun? He harassed me, he touched me. It wasn't consensual!" I yelled. "Tell me, do you tolerate such behaviour?" Tanong ko pabalik sa kaniya.

"'Di mo kasi alam kung ano ang magagawa ni Dimitry."

"So should I just let him have his will to do whatever he wants?" I scoffed. "I have my rights too Hans." Inis kong sagot sa kaniya. "Teka— Sino ba kinakampihan mo dito? si Dimitry who harassed me or ako na mina-manage mo? Pick a side."

Napasabunot ito. "I care about your image Dani!"

"And I care about my self." I retorted.

"You should have just let him—"

"Let him what? harass me?" I taunted, pointing at myself. "He slid his hand inside my dress the dress you picked!" I yelled at him.

"Ugh. Daniel you're garnering attention and it was bad. Look people are talking about you." He showed me his phone and I was trending. "It's not only about Dimitry harassing you but that thing you did to Romeo."

"He deserves it." Maktol ko naman rito.

"And you don't deserve a bad image." Sagot nito sa akin. "Ang hirap kaya take down ng mga articles tungkol sa'yo. Ugh. If you only know my struggle."

"Ugh let them have the impression! Wala akong pakialam."

"Daniel impressions often lasts."

"So be it." I just rolled my eyes at him. Napasinghal naman ito sa akin. Aalis na sana ako pero bigla nito akong hinila sa braso at sumeryoso ang kaniyang mukha.

Nabigla naman ako sa inakto nito sa akin. "Next time don't do things without even me knowing Daniel." Malamig na sinabi nito sa akin kaya bigla naman akong napalunok sa harap nito. "You don't know what I'm capable of." He was holding me tightly at napangiwi ako dahil sa pressure ng kaniyang mga kamay.

Shet. Why are Gustilyos so quick to shift their facial expressions? As if they're some sort of puppets?

Napatango na lamang ako. Then suddenly Hans face turned into a stoic one again. Binitawan naman nito ako. "I hope I made things clear." He whispered at me which left me off guard and he just walked away.

...

It was tiring. The whole week I had endless photoshoots and I was also forced to minimise my diet. I had to eat less than I used to. Well, according to Hans.
