I DANCED as sluttiest as possible and young men started to gather around me. Sumasabay sila sa saliw ng maharot na tugtugin at ako naman ay bigay todong umiindak at gumigiling.

Dahil sa espiritu ng alak, iniisa-isa ko ang mga kalalakihan na nakapaligid sa akin dahil namimili ako kung sino sa kanila ang paglalaanan ko ng oras ngayong gabi.

“Miss, you’re so hot!” wika ng isa sa mga lalaki na tantiya ko ay hindi nalalayo ang edad sa akin.

I just smiled and winked. “Oh, thanks.”

He might be right, because I wore a red mini skirt paired with a black long sleeved crop top with plunging neckline. Normally, hindi naman ako nagsusuot nito. Tonight was an exemption dahil nagrerebelde ang utak at puso ko.

Halos magsiksikan ang mga lalaking nakapaligid sa akin at kanya-kanya sila ng diskarte kung paano ako maiuuwi. Too bad, none of them caught my attention yet.

Hanggang sa naramdaman ko na may biglang humablot sa aking kamay—isang lalaking kakalapit lang sa akin. Nagulat pa ako nang bigla nitong inilapit ang labi sa aking tainga.

“Enough, come with me,” bulong nito.

Tiningnan ko siya nang masinsinan. Pamilyar sa akin ang mukha niya pero hindi ko matandaan kung saan siya nakita.

Bigla akong napangiti.

“Target confirmed…” I smiled seductively. Lalo na nang naamoy ko ang panlalaki nitong pabango na tila nanunuot sa aking ilong.

The man was tall. At kahit pa patay-sindi ang ilaw sa dance floor at kitang-kita ko ang taglay nitong kakisigan.

“Are you in for a hook up tonight?” lakas-loob na tanong ko. “Well, if you’re single. I don’t want to ruin a relationship, worse, a marriage.” Dugtong ko dahil hindi agad siya sumagot kanina.

“I wouldn’t be here if I’m taken.” Ipinakita niya sa akin ang kamay niyang walang wedding band.

Inilapit ko ang labi ko sa kanyang tainga. “Then, are you in?”

Ngumiti nang makahulugan ang lalaki. “If that’s what you want, I’ll gladly obliged.”

I grinned triumphantly. Finally, I found my perfect prey. “Good, then let’s get out of here.”

Tumango ang lalaki. He didn’t let go of my wrist until we reached the parking area. Ewan ko ba, alam kong delikado ang ginagawa ko pero mukhang hindi naman gagawa nang masama ang lalaking ito. He looked decent and maybe just like me, he just wanted to scratch an itch.

“Are you sure about this, young miss? I don’t want to take advantage of the situation.” Muling tanong ng lalaki.

I flirted with him in return. Hinaplos ko ang matipuno niyang dibdib. “I’ve never been this sure. Let’s do it!”

“As you wish. I know a place,” he smiled.

His driver opened the car. Pinauna akong pumasok ng lalaki sa loob at saka ito sumunod.

“Romi, to the penthouse,” utos ng lalaki.

“Yes, boss!” listong sagot ng driver.

Sa totoo lang, ngayong nasa loob na ako ng sasakyan parang gusto kong umatras. I was never this type of woman, na basta-basta na lang sasama sa isang lalaki na hindi ko nga kilala at makipag-one night stand. Pero sa tuwing na iisip ko ang kataksilan nina Sean at Annie ay lumalakas ang loob ko.

“Young Miss, won’t you ask my name?” basag nito ng katahimikan.

Ngumiti ako at umiling. “It’s better this way. We will be strangers again once the sun rise.”

Nakita kong umangat ang isang kilay nito at pero hindi naman nagkumento pa.

Nang makarating kami sa penthouse ay palakas nang palakas ang kaba ko. It seemed I caught the best fish in the sea. Kung pag-aari nito ang penthouse na iyon, ibig sa sabihin ay may sinabi ito sa buhay.

“Come here, young miss.” Yakag ng lalaki. “I know you aren’t interested to know me, but you can call me Hugo… in case you’d be moaning my name,” he teased.

Biglang nag-init ang aking pisngi. This man was surely an expert to seduce a woman.

“Fine, you can call me Raya.”

“Is that your real name?”

“It doesn’t matter. Shall we begin?” Determinadong sabi ko. Ngayon pa ba ako aatras?

Tumawa si Hugo. “Why do you sound so transactional? Anyway, let’s begin by taking a shower together. Is that all right?”

Ilang sandali akong napanganga. Handa na nga ba ako?

Tila naman nabasa ni Hugo ang pag-alinlangan ko.

“You can still back out though. I never force myself into anyone. I always make sure I have a consent,” ani Hugo.

I clenched my fist hard as soon as the image of my ex-boyfriend and best friend doing the deed. Why would I hesitate?

In fairness, Hugo seemed to be a gentleman. At ngayong bakikita ko nang malinaw ang mukha nito, he was indeed very handsome. Hugo had a mature vibe, confident in every way.

“Let’s take a shower together,” taas-noong kong sabi.

Ngumiti si Hugo. “That’s my girl!”

As soon as I stepped inside the master’s bedroom, I knew there was no turning back. Iniisip ko na lang na kinabukasan hindi ko na naman makikita pa si Hugo. I'd just treat this like a dream. Para kahit paano mailabas ko ang bigat na dinadala ko.

Hugo led me inside the bathroom. When I began to unbutton my shirt, Hugo helped me with it. Wala itong pagmamadali hanggang sa undies ko na lang niya ang natira.

I also unbuckled his belt. He was smiling as I did it. Iniwasan ko na lang na tumingin nang deretso sa mata niya dahil baka lalo akong panghinaan ng loob at mangatog ang tuhod ko.

Tonight, I’d show this man my skills. Bilang ganti sa pag-iinsulto ni Sean sa pagkatao ko.

“Take your time, sweetheart. I’m all yours tonight,” Hugo whispered.

Pigil ko ang aking sariling manginig ang kamay nang tanging boxer shorts na lang ang natira sa katawan nito.

Tumingin ako sa bathroom mirror habang nasa likuran ko si Hugo.

“Would you mind the lights? I want to see all of you.” Hugo started to plant small kisses on my shoulder. Para akong kinikiliti.

“I-I don’t mind…”

Dahan-dahan akong pinihit paharap ni Hugo. “I like your natural scent.”

He kissed my forehead down to my ears, teasing and whispering.

“I promise you’ll enjoy this night…” Hugo held my chin. Hanggang sa unti-unti nitong tinawid ang maliit na distansya sa pagitan ng aming mga labi.

He claimed my lips. Banayad lang sa una ang paraan ng paghalik nito na para bang nanunuyo.

I closed my eyes and felt the warmth of his kisses. Hindi ko lubos akalain na magugustuhan ko ang halik na nagmumula sa isang estranghero.

“Hugo…” I whispered his name.

  • Love Gambit with the Charming CEO   Chapter 12: Proposal

    NAGMULAT ako ng mata at bumangon. Agad kong napansin ang pamilyar kong silid kahit nananakit ang sentido ko.“Shit, my head!” Hinilot ko ang aking noo at muli akong humiga sa kama. Para namang ni-replay sa utak ko ang mga nangyari kagabi.“Oh, no. Paano ako nakauwi?” I questioned myself. Mukhang nagpakalunod ako sa alak kagabi sa harap mismo ni Hugo.“Gosh, darn it, Hiraya! You fucked up again. You’re gonna lose this job!” Ilang ulit kong pinagalitan ang sarili ko.Ipinatong ko ang unan sa aking mukha at nanggigil ako sa sarili ko lalo na at naalala ko ang mga pinagsasabi ko kagabi.“Nakakahiya! We are not even that close for me to act like that!”Iniisip kong huwag pumasok nang araw na iyon. Hindi ko kasi alam kung paano haharapin si Hugo. Plano kong magkulong na lang sa kuwarto para na rin maiwasan ko ang mommy ko.But later on, I realized I needed to face the conse

  • Love Gambit with the Charming CEO   Chapter 11: The Offer

    HUGO seemed to compose himself quickly after his dumbfounded reaction. Ngayon ko lang din siya nakita na nabigla nang ganoon.“You know what, let’s have a dinner meeting tonight. I need you to give me a summary report during my absence. As for your leave, I’ll think about it.” Tumayo si Hugo at idinagdag, “Bring Mika with you as Bryan will also come with us.”Tumango ako. “Yes, sir.”“All right. I’ll see you tonight.”Umalis si Hugo na tila biglang nag-iba ang timpla ng mood nito. Bigla itong naging aburido.Laglag ang mga balikat kong inubos ang cake. I was stress eating. Ilang gabi ko na kasing iniisip kung paano masusolusyunan ang problema ko. Getting back with Sean and making him marry me was truly absurd. Kaya wala akong choice kundi ako ang magpakasal kay Sander kapalit ni Camille.Bigla akong kinilabutan sa ideyang iyon. Sander Torres was almost the same age as my late father. Paano ko matatakasan ang dilemang ito?‘I’m doomed either way!’ I let out an exasperated sigh.Inihan

  • Love Gambit with the Charming CEO   Chapter 10: Absolute Pin

    MAAGA akong pumasok kinabukasan. Hindi ko inaasahan na pagdating ko sa opisina ay naroon na si Hugo. It appeared he was waiting for me to arrive. Medyo nahiya tuloy ako dahil kahit inagahan ko na ay mas maaga pa siya sa akin. Unang araw ko pa naman.Nakaupo ito sa swivel chair. He was scanning some papers and gave me a quick glance.Lumapit ako sa kinaroroonan niya at binati ito. “Good morning, sir!”Tumango si Hugo. “I only drop by to give you a short briefing.”“Yes, sir!”“Inihanda ko na ang mga files na dapat mong aralin habang wala ako. If you are bored in this office, I have also prepared your table inside the Design and Planning Department to oversee them.” Tumayo si Hugo. “Ah, by the way. I hired your previous private assistant so she could help you adjust. Being alone in this battlefield might burn you out.”Nanlaki ang mata ko. “You hired Mika?”Bigla akong napangiti. How did he know about her? “Why, can’t I hire her?” Hugo chuckled. “No, sir. I’m just surprised.”“She’s n

  • Love Gambit with the Charming CEO   Chapter 9: A Stalemate

    AKALA ko ay matatapos na kalbaryo ko mula kay Annie at Sean nang matapos ang lunch meeting. I had to excuse myself to go to the ladies’ room. Pero inabangan ako ni Sean na lumabas. Mabuti na lang at wala ang impakta kong ex-best friend dahil siguradong pagtutulungan na naman ako ng dalawa. Hinawakan ako ni Sean sa braso at pilit na iginiya sa tabi. “What is your problem?” Kumalas ako mula sa pagkakahawak niya. “I thought you’d decline my uncle’s offer? Anyway, it’s good you’ve accepted it. At least, you can put a good word about my firm,” excited na wika ni Sean. My eyes narrowed. Bigla akong naguluhan. “And why would I do that?” Sean smirked. “Of course, you’d do it for me. Who knows, I might take you back and marry you.” For a moment, I was lost for words. How could Sean be unreasonable? ‘Gosh, he’s unbelievable! I can’t believe I went gaga over this man!’ Palatak ko sa isip. Pero sa kabila niyon ay bigla kong naisip ang ultimatum na binigay sa akin ng mommy ko. Would I rea

  • Love Gambit with the Charming CEO   Chapter 8: The Rooks

    SUMAMA ako kay Hugo habang si Bryan ang nagmaneho ng sasakyan patungo sa isang kilalang hotel ng pag-aari ng mga Blaquier. It was a convoy because the bodyguards were with us. Kaya magkakasunod ang limang sasakyan. “We’ll be meeting my cousins and nephews since we’ll be discussing the plans for the company’s centennial anniversary. Don’t worry, this will be quick,” wika ni Hugo habang nasa biyahe. Magkatabi kaming dalawa sa passenger seat sa likod ni Bryan. Tumango lang ako bilang tugon sa sinabi nito. I’d just go with the flow. At saka mas mabuti na rin na maaga kong makilala ang mga miyembro ng pamilya nito para alam ko na kung paano makikisama. Since I would have countless business dealings with them, especially now that I have become Hugo’s personal secretary. “You can wait inside the receiving area with my other bodyguards, I’ll just drop off the men’s room,” ani Hugo bago ito bumaba kasama si Bryan at ilang tagabantay nito. Pagkababa ko sa sasakyan ay sakto namang may pumar

  • Love Gambit with the Charming CEO   Chapter 7: New Game Begins

    NAGPAMULSA si Hugo matapos nitong muling siyasatin ang pagkakalagay nito ng bandage sa tuhod ko. Pinili kong ignorahin ang ginawa nito. I had to act as professionally as I could in front of him. Lalo na at nakataya rito ang kabuhayan ko. Camille was counting on me if worse comes to worst. I opened my bag and snatched my resume. “Here’s my resume, sir.” “Give it to Bryan,” he commanded. Kinuha naman ni Bryan ang papel sa kamay ko. At saka muling nagsalita si Hugo. “As you can see, Bryan is quite occupied these days so I needed another personal secretary who could accompany me in every business meeting here and abroad,” taas-noong hayag ni Hugo. Nakita ko ang bakas ng pagkagulat sa mukha ni Bryan. “Me? Occupied? I don’t think so. I can work under pressure and—” Hugo looked at him as if there was a warning. “You are occupied, Hugo. Or else how did you forget about Miss Alcaraz’s appointment? How would you compensate her grievances, look at her knees.” “Oh, that. My bad.” Alangan
