Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's December Despair: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Marunong ka bang magluto?" tanong niya sa dalaga at hindi na nagpaligoy-ligoy pa."Oo!" dagling sagot ng dalaga. "Teka, baliw ka ba?"Inasahan na ni Osiris ang magiging reaksyon ng dalaga dahil nga naman napaka-random naman ng tanong niya. "No, but I need your help. Can you come with me? Saan ka ba pupunta?""Wala ka nang pakialam do'n!" sagot ng dalaga na hindi pa rin mawala ang nakaguhit na inis sa mukha."Babayaran ko ang buong araw mo, please help me." Desperado na si Osiris kaya niya nasambit iyon at talaga namang hindi niya hahayaan na mawala kaagad ang trabahong lumapit na sa kaniya mismo."Hindi ka naman masamang tao, 'no?" tanong ng binibini nang maramdaman ang pakiusap ng binata.Buong-loob na kinumbinsi ni Osiris ang dalaga sa pagtugon ng salitang, "Hindi.""Mukha namang nagsasabi ka ng totoo, sige," saad ng dalaga sa umiiling pang binata.Ikinuwento ni Osiris ang sitwasyon niyang kinakaharap na tinawanan lang naman ng dalaga dahil aniya'y napakasimple lamang ng pinoproblem

Walang lakas, at ang natitira ay halos maubos na rin, ilang hakbang na lang ang layo ni Osiris sa kanyang sasakyan ngunit parang napakalayo pa rin niya at hindi kayang marating ang napakalapit.Samantala, bago pa bumuhos ang malakas na ulan ay nakapunta na sa kwarto sina Legacy at Summer. Walang makakapigil sa kanilang nag-aalab na damdamin at pagkikiskisan ng mga sabik na labi habang paakyat sa hagdan, hindi pinapansin ang mga nagpaparty sa bahay ni Legacy.Hindi alintana ng mga ito ang lakas ng ulan dahil natatalo o nalalamangan ito ng malakas na party music na siyang nagpapasigla lalo slalo sa kanila kahit na lulong na sa party pills at lunod sa iba't ibang klase ng alak na kanilang iniinom.Si Osiris na nasa labas ay ngayon ay sinasabayan ng mata ang pagbuhos ng ulan sa kaniyang katawan. Ngayon lamang siya nasaktan ng ganito. Mayroong pagsisisi at pagkamuhi hindi sa babae ngunit sa kaniyang sarili.Kung sinilang lang sana siyang mayaman at bilyonaryo baka sakaling magustuhan siya

Under the moonlit sky, the atmosphere was charged with a mixture of emotions as Osiris and Summer stood facing each other in the park. The soft rustling of leaves and distant hum of the city formed a serene backdrop to their raw conversation. Summer's eyes were red-rimmed from tears, and Osiris's face was etched with the traces of anguish he had been through.Summer took a hesitant step closer, her voice laden with remorse and regret. "Osiris, I need you to understand how truly sorry I am. What happened between Legacy and me was a mistake, and I know it hurt you deeply."Osiris's heart clenched as he listened to her words, the pain of her betrayal still fresh in his memory. He inched closer, his voice a mixture of vulnerability and desperation. "Summer, I can't bear the thought of losing you. Despite everything, I still love you. I'm begging you, please give me another chance."With a mix of determination and raw emotion, Osiris knelt before Summer, his eyes never leaving hers. "I kno

As Osiris rose from his bed, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity settling in his mansion, now inhabited solely by his presence. The solitude echoed in the halls, a stark contrast to the days when laughter and shared moments filled the air. Descending the stairs, he found himself in the kitchen, an activity he had not engaged in for a while.As he started to cook, memories flooded back to him – memories of cooking with Summer, sharing the joy of preparing meals together. It was as if her presence lingered in the kitchen, guiding his hands as he chopped vegetables and stirred pots. A bittersweet smile formed on his lips, a mixture of nostalgia and pain. He realized that he was making the same dish they had often enjoyed, a dish that had become a symbol of their togetherness.At first, the act of cooking brought a sense of contentment. The familiarity of the ingredients and the rhythmic motions eased his mind, providing a momentary respite from the turmoil he had been grappling with. As he

Ang kanina pa tahimik na opisina ni Osiris ay nagkaroon din sa wakas ng ingay nang si Martha ay maging handa na sa pagsasalita ng kanyang sasabihin na kanina pa gustong malaman ni Osiris. Mabuti na lamang at hindi basta-basta nauubos ang pasensya ng binata."Ang totoo niyan ay gusto kong malaman ang nangyari kay Mr. Cesar," ani Martha, ang kanyang mga mata ay tila ba napupuno ng kalungkutan na kanina lang ay nagtatago sa maaliwalas niyang mukha.Osiris nodded, his expression a mix of curiosity and empathy. “Bakit? Hindi mo ba alam ang nangyari kay Mr. Cesar? Hindi ba’t kasasabi mo lang kanina ang tungkol sa pagkamatay niya?”“Oo, alam ko pero hindi ako nakasipot noong libing niya,” Martha explained..“Kaya pala, make sense. I announced it sa charity about his death saka pinapunta ko rin do’n ang mga scholars niya. Doon siya nakaburol at pinaglamayan ng ilang araw, if you ask me why, because it felt like the place he would have chosen,” pagbabahagi ni Osiris, may bakas ng kalungkutan s
