The Billionaire’s Obsession

Kabanata 1

Heliosius Zayn Bueneventura is the CEO of a large company that sells legal firearms where most of the clients are from the other countries. He was defined as a perfect man by some people who only knew bits about him. 

Meanwhile, others think he is a dangerous person because of the power he possessed -money.

Magaling at matalino si Helios pagdating sa pamamahala ng kumpanya. He has been a well-known entrepreneur within the business industry for being professional when it comes to his field, especially when it comes to employees. 

Basta alam niyang maganda ang ginagawa ng mga empleyado niya sa trabaho ay wala siyang problema sa mga ito. He doesn't give a fuck to their personal lives and behavior inside the company as long as the company itself and his own name is not involved nor affected.

Well, that was before...ngayon ay hindi niya na matandaan kung ilan ang natanggal niyang lalaki sa trabaho nila dahil sa rasong hindi naman related sa pangalan niya o sa kumpanya. 

He was currently sitting firmly on his swivel chair as he was crossing his arms. It was another day of his head being filled with irritation and madness.

Matalim ang tingin niya sa pintuan habang hinihintay na bumukas iyon. His jaw was clenching more since he was already waiting for how many minutes in a while. Nauubos na ang pasensiya niya kaya nang bumukas 'yon ay hindi na siya nagpaligoy-ligoy pa.

"You are fired," malamig ang tonong bungad niya sa emplayado na kapapasok lang ng office at hindi pa tuluyang nasasara ang pintuan.

The boy was Popoy Basilio, twenty-four years old. Ang taas niya ay mga nasa 5'7, makisig ang katawan, at may kayumangging balat. Ang trabaho niya sa kumpanya ni Helios ay maghanap ng mga clients through online. 

"Po? Ano nga ulit 'yun, Sir?" mababakas ang kaba sa boses ni Basilio. He closed the door before walking straightly towards Helios' table.

Helios leaned forward. Nilagay niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa ibabaw ng kaniyang lamesa at pinagsiklop ang mga palad. 

"Ang sabi ko, tanggal ka na. I don't need someone useless in my company," his voice was a low baritone with a hint of annoyance.

"B-Bakit po? Anong kasalanan ko---"

Mariin siyang napapikit at napahilamos ng mukha. When he opened his eyes, they were already blazing with fire. "You think I didn't know what you were doing while working? You're a piece of shit and a womanizer, so just better get out of my company to find women who you can fool outside." 

"Pero sir---"

"Don't fucking test my patience, Basilio! Just get your dirty d-ck out of here if you don't want me to do worse than this!" his voice boomed inside the cold office.

Dahil sa matinding takot, mabilis na lumabas ang lalaki sa opisina niya. Sumandal siya sa kaniyang swivel chair at hinilot ang sentido gamit ang mga daliri. Naalala niya na naman ang nasaksihan niya kahapon, dahilan upang kumulo lalo ang dugo niya sa lalaking iyon.

He was really short-tempered when it comes to his employees, but only when they fucked up in their works. Hindi kasali roon ang psrsonal nilang buhay. 

Helios didn't have a problem with him at first ---kahit pa noong naririnig niyang mahilig itong lumandi sa mga employee niyang babae. Wala siyang pakealam sa ugali niyang pagiging playboy dahil aminado si Helios na ganoon din siya noon.

Not until when he saw him last night talking with the woman he was dreaming to own. At hindi lang siya ang natanggal sa trabaho dahil sa nakipag-usap sila sa dalagang iyon. It was probably a total of five men got fired this month just because they were being friendly with her. 

Kausapin at lokohin na nila lahat, h'wag lang ang dalagang iyon. Ganoon siya kabaliw pagdating sa kaniya.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the creaking sound of the door. Nakapikit pa rin ang mga mata niya. 

"Who told you to enter my room without my permission?" his voice was plain yet sounded dangerous.

"Sino rin ang nagsabi sa'yong pakealam mo ang personal na buhay ko?!" 

He immediately opened his eyes when he heard that angelic voice. Umayos siya nang pagkakaupo at nawala agad ang iritasyon sa buong katawan niya dahil sa magandang dilag na nasa harapan niya ngayon. He licked his lips as he placed his hands above his table. 

Tinuon niya ang buong atensyon ngayon sa dalagita at hindi mapigilang tipid na mapangiti dahil sa pagkahumaling nito sa mala-inosente niyang itsura. Kahit galit ay tila ba mukhang anghel pa rin siya sa kaniyang paningin. 

That was his secretary, Arianna Reign Madrigal. Noong unang beses niya itong makita ay hindi niya na mapaliwanang kung bakit labis ang pagkahumaling niya rito. He always find himself mesmerized on her beauty.

Tatlong buwan na siyang nagtatrabaho sa kumpanya ni Helios at isang buwan na ang nakaraan simula noong pinagtapat niya ang nararamdaman niya para sa dalaga. 

He was rejected because she has a boyfriend, but then he was persistent enough to keep pursuing her. Despite knowing how much she hates it everytime he makes a move to her.

Hindi sumagot si Helios kaya mas lalong bumuga ng apoy si Ria. Binato niya sa mukha ni Helios ang isang sobreng naglalaman ng sampong libo. 

Helios flinched. Hinawakan niya 'yon at naalalang ang binigay niyang pera iyon sa ama niyang taxi driver kahapon.

"Bakit ka nagpakita sa pamilya ko, huh?! Hindi namin kailangan ng pera mo! I'm working hard to earn money so I also have those, just not that big as what you have...but I can buy what my family needs!" Hingal na hingal siya pagkatapos nang pasigaw at diretsong pagsasalita.

Helios was amazed because of her sudden outrage, and at the same time he was allerted. The amusement on his face faded, napalitan iyon nang pag-aalala. 

"Calm down, okay? This is just a hundred thousand...not a big deal. Gusto ko lang talagang tumulong---"

"Tulong? You want to help me? My family? The only thing you can do to help is to stop bothering me." 

"You know I can't do that," mariin niyang agap.

"Ilang beses ko nang sinabi sa 'yo na may boyfriend ako, hindi ba? Hanggang ngayon ba mahirap pa rin intindihan 'yon! May mahal na ako! Kaya itigil mo na ang pangungulit sa akin!"

The coldness spread throughout his system. Malamig niyang tinignan ang dalaga. "No, Ria. I also told you a lot of times that I won't stop pursuing you. Just better break up with him and be with me," he muttered with full confidence.

"Hindi 'yan mangyayari," mariing sabi ng dalagita. She leaned forward to the table the reason why their distance became closer. Padabog na binitawan niya ang isang brown envelope sa ibabaw ng kaniyang lamesa. 

Hindi iyon agad napansin ni Helios dahil abala siya sa pagsusuri ng kabuuang mukha ni Ria. She has a perfect angelic face where almost everyone could think she is an innocent woman who still haven't committed sins in her whole existence. Ang balat niya ay maputi at kahit hindi hinahawakan ay makukumpirma mong malambot iyon dahil sa kinis. Her hair was long with big curls on its tip, and it has a natural dark blonde shade.

His gaze went to her forehead down to her lips. May tamang kapal at kurba ang kaniyang kilay, ganoon na rin ang pilik-mata. Her eyes were almond shape and color brown, malalim din ang mga iyon ng bahagya. Ang ilong niya naman ay tama lang ang tangos na nababagay sa maliit niyang mukha. The last thing was his most favorite one, which is her lips, hugis puso iyon at perpekto ang pagkakaukit.

Pagdating naman sa katawan ay malayo ito sa mga flings niya noon na may malalaking dibdib at buttocks. She has a petite type of body with an hourglass shape, while her height was about 5'5-5'6.

"Nakikinig ka ba?!" Malakas na pinalo ni Ria ang kaniyang lamesa gamit ang kaniyang palad. Dahilan upang mabalik siya sa katinuan.

His eyes went down to the brown envelope on his table. 

"What's this..." he whispered in a husky voice.

"A resignation letter! I am done with you. Pagod na akong magtiis sa isang boss na sobrang obsessed sa akin. It's making me sick!"
