I was 12 years old back then. I don't know how much he charged but I'm sure it was a lot because Papa lost a lot. After he sold me to an old man who no longer had a family, I never heard from him or even saw him again. That's better because I really don't want to see his face anymore. I was sold to an old man named Vulcan Alexandres and he was an old friend of my father. From the age of twelve until I became twenty two, I grew up in his powder. He is rich and he almost spent everything, especially my education. Since he doesn't have a family, he considers me his son. At first, I didn't want to agree. My heart is far away from him. I was angry and I hardly talked to him or even paid attention to him. But when I saw that something had changed a bit in him and he seemed to be getting weaker, that's when he admitted to me that he was sick. Cancer stage four and leukemia. That's the reason why he didn't look for a woman to marry because he knew that his life was certain. So when I reached the right age, he completely adopted me and changed my birth certificate to make me an Alxandres. "Son, I only have a little time left in this world. For almost 6 years that I have been with you, I know that you are kind and have a good heart. I do not regret that I bought you from your father. Iha...I have decided for a long time this. I'm about to turn you into a... Alxandres."
Chapter 1 my possessions
Chapter 1
could hardly believe what he said. At first, I didn't agree because my name is important to me. Sepphie Zamante. That was the only wealth left by my parents, but when Sir Alxandres insisted, I couldn't do anything.
"I know that this is hard for you but please accept it, iha. I will bequeath all my possessions and wealth to you because I have no family. I don't want to give it also to my relatives because I don't trust them and they didn't even treat me once as their family. We are far from each other and I am sure that even if I die, they will just grab my wealth and I don't want that to happen. So please be an Alexandre. I want you to become Sepphie Alexandre."
I was shocked that he would name his treasures after me. So out of pity, I agreed. I agreed to let him change my last name.
I don't know if it's just timing but after a few days of taking care of the papers that contain all the names of the owners of a Vulcan Alxandres, he was also gone.
I was very sad and sad because somehow, he became my father. I didn't even express my gratitude to him too much while he was alive, and at least I fulfilled his last wish to become an Alxandres.
I did not neglect his possessions. I spent almost four years to make his hard work grow even more. I have also built many establishments and some I own. When many blessings come, I help charities and poor people I pass by.
But now that I'm twenty two years old, I feel alone again.
I have done everything to find my father but not one, there is no sign if he is dead or alive. Until I remembered what he did to me and my mom. The cheating and his womanizing.
"Babe, are you okay?"
I was quickly brought back to reality when I heard Aldridge's voice.
I just smiled and nodded quickly.
"Yup. Just remembered something."
He sighed. He also quickly reached my hand that was on the table and gently caressed it.
"I thought you're sick. I've been talking here for a while but you don't seem to be listening." he said in a gentle voice.
"I'm not sick. You're just really boring to talk to." I said in my mind.
"No, I'm fine. Anyways, what are you saying?" I said in an irritated voice.
"Tomorrow will be our honeymoon and I am planning if maybe we could travel to Paris? Since this will be our first honeymoon, I want it to be romantic and memorable as possible." he said excitedly.
I raised my eyebrows because of what he said. I also quickly withdrew my hand when I realized that he had been holding it.
"I'm sorry, Aldridge but I think you'll be the only one going there."
His face immediately changed when he heard what I said. That was also a sign for me to show him photos with other women.
I took out the printed pictures from my bag and threw them in his face.
"Monthsarry? Go to Paris? Are you crazy, Aldridge?!" I said in a cold tone while he was busy looking at the photos with a shocked face.
"H-how..."
"You guys are just the same. You don't know how to be satisfied with one. But FYI, I never had any feelings for you, Aldridge. I only answered you because I felt sorry for you. And now, I'm breaking up with you." I casually said let's go together and took the bag.
I walked straight out of the restaurant as I heard Aldridge call my name. I didn't even bother to look back at him. When I got close to my car, I felt my phone vibrate.
It was a message from Johans. My second boyfriend that I'm going to break up with. He's telling me to have lunch with him at a five-star restaurant. I agreed and immediately got into my car.
Aldridge was the first man I broke up with. I found out that he had another woman because I made him follow me then. I didn't want his girl and me to go together so I went ahead of him.
And now, the next target will be Johans. He's also a cheater that's why I'm going to surprise him today.
Upon entering the restaurant, I immediately saw him because of his eye-catching good looks. Honestly, he's a nice catch unlike Aldridge. Johans was more handsome than Aldridge but they're just both cheaters to me.
I wear a fake smile while approaching his table. I immediately sat in the seat opposite him. I put my bag on the table and smiled sweetly at him.
"Sep, why do you have to be like that?" he said while his eyes focused on me.
My eyebrows immediately crossed. What is he talking about?
"What do you mean, Joe?" I asked, even though the truth is that I already know what he will say next.
Johans is a type of a guy whose love to throw pick up lines or flowery words for you to be flattered. You're just a fool if you send her sweet words.
"Why do you have to be so beautiful, Sep? You know, when you entered the restaurant earlier, I can't take my eyes off you. You look like an angel with a goddess beauty. I guess I'm a lucky man , right?" he said with a full smile.
Deep inside, I felt like I was about to throw up but I just smiled back at him.
"And oh, by the way, I have a gift for you!" he said cheerfully as he showed me a paper bag with a brand name on it.
I pretended to be shocked and covered my mouth. I stared at him with a disbelieving expression before focusing my eyes on the contents of the paper bag.
I took the box inside and slowly opened it.
"Oh my gosh! A complete set of accessories, really?!" I said in a surprised tone.
Johans really likes to squander money. In fact, being in a relationship with him for almost a month now, I already received a lot of gifts from him. Be it luxury or branded things, he willingly gave it to me even though I didn't ask for it because I can afford it! It's just that, he didn't know that I am rich that's why.
"Yes, babe! I bought that when I was in New York yesterday. It caught my attention and I knew that it would suit you very well." he said proudly while smiling at me.
My expression immediately changed when I heard what he said. From happy and excited woman to a serious one. I saw the surprise on his face when he saw my change in expression.
"Really? You bought this? Hmm...then was this from your own pocket?"
His expression turned bitter for a moment but it was also replaced by surprise.
"Of c-course! I have a lot of money! Have you forgotten that your boyfriend is rich?"
I sighed deeply. Tsk, tsk What a pathetic man. I quickly took the folded paper from my bag and quickly passed it to him.
He took the paper in surprise until his eyes widened. He immediately tore it and looked at me angrily.
Who wouldn't be angry if the money you stole is shown to you, especially your girlfriend? Of course, you will be really angry! That's why Johans is here now, his face is red because he's probably very angry.
"What did you just do, Sep?! Are you investigating me?! Like really? Stabbing me at the back?? The fuck!! I'm your boyfriend after all!"
"Boyfriend? Who? Someone like you who steals from his father's company? Did your father know about this? That the money you spend on your girls is money from your family company? I thought you're independent? But now I know that you are just dependent on your parent's money! You are just arrogant, Johans." I said with emphasis on the last word.
He got up angrily and was about to come to my place when I quickly moved away.
"Let's end this." I said seriously while he was still furious.
"Why are you doing this?" he asked emphatically.
I laughed out loud because of what I heard. I looked around first, maybe something would catch our attention, but everyone seemed to be busy with their food and their conversations.
"I don't need to explain it to you. And by the way, expect a package later. I will return the things you bought for me. I don't need those things because I already have it and I can afford it."
I stepped closer towards him so that he can hear clearly what I'm going to say.
"At least I'm not proud that I'm rich. I only accept your gifts because I don't want to hurt your pride. I'm just being considerate, you know. So I'm going to return all your gifts because I don't want to anymore of clutter in my house. But don't worry, I didn't use all that. I didn't even dare to touch it, you know. Just take your trash or if you want, find a girl who's willing to accept those garbage of yours, cheater!" I said emphatically on the last word while secretly handing over the photos of him with a woman in his hand that was almost clenched.
He couldn't answer because of the shock of what he heard. I form a smirk on my lips as I leave that place.
So this is what if feels like. The cheater and bigot.
"Good evening, Ma'am Sep." Manang Tonet greeted me when I entered the mansion.
I just smiled at him tiredly before going straight to the fridge and getting bottled water. I quickly gulped down the water as if I hadn't drunk it in days.
"Have you eaten yet, huh? You look very tired?" Manang Tonet asked worriedly that I didn't realize she had followed me here in the kitchen.
I slowly nodded in acknowledgment. I quickly sat down in a nearby chair next to me and took a deep breath.
Manang Tonet acted quickly and immediately served me food.
"Here I cooked your favorite pickle. It's just right and you haven't eaten yet. I thought you wouldn't pay attention to what I cooked." he said in a cheerful tone.
Manang Tonet has been serving here at the mansion for a long time. As far as I remember, even before Sir Alxandres bought me from Papa, he was already here. Even now that Sir Alxandres is gone and I'm the only one left here in the mansion, he's still here.
I did force him not to work and I said that I would just support his needs but he was stubborn so I didn't force him anymore. It is said that he owes a lot to Sir Alxandres because he helped with the education of his four children, so he promised to serve his master until he becomes a family and that's it, even though the old age is obvious on his face of Manang Tonet he still serves me, the only family that a Vulcan Alxandres trusts.
Manang Tonet is without a wife and her children have families. Two of his children have stayed and started families in other countries while the other two live in distant places.
In the few years I've been with Manang, I've almost felt relieved because she's become my mother and I've become her son. He also knows that Sir Alexandres bought me from my Papa and why I hate my father. The only thing he doesn't know about me is that I play with men's hearts.
I'm just returning the favor after all. My father betrayed us and he chose to be a playboy so here I am, acting as a playgirl to get a revenge to those men who cheat and disloyal to their lovers just like how my father did.
But of course, I will do it with a twist. I make sure that the men I meet deserve to be shamed because I will reveal their stinks and they should only get a taste of what it feels like to be the first woman to break up with them.
Now I'm lying in bed and can't sleep. I heard my cell phone ring so I immediately took it from my side. I looked at the screen and I saw my best friend's name, Anya.
"What?" I said I was bored before I could answer the call.
I heard him chuckle from the other line so my eyebrows crossed.
"I heard that you already broke up with Aldridge. Oh, that's right, Sep! That Aldridge is really a womanizer!" he said in a trembling voice.
"And also, I already broke up with Johans." I said to him afterwards. I heard his surprise because of what he heard.
"What?! Really? Why?? It's still a jackpot because it's rich!"
I just shook my head because of what he said.
"You knew me, Anya. I'm not after money. Besides, he's a womanizer like Aldridge. My father and I are just the same." I told him bitterly.
"Sep...not all men are cheaters. It's just bad luck because almost all the men who come into your life don't know how to be satisfied. And the men who stick to one are only counted on the hand."
I was secretly tormented because of what he said. She's only saying that because she doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Let's see when she gets a boyfriend and experiences cheating.
the next morning, I entered the Diamante Hotel early. This hotel was mine and I didn't just spend money for it.
The hotel was already built since I was young. Zamante Hotel was a famous hotel back then because of its fancy designs and structures plus it was the only hotel with more rooms and comfortable rooms.
This was Mama's favorite place when she was a young woman because she loved designs and structures plus she also met Papa here. Until every day Mama went to the hotel because she was fascinated by Papa who is the son of the owner of the hotel.
My mom's family wasn't that rich enough while my dad's family was the one who's rich. So when the two became lovers and informed their parents about it, the two of them immediately got married until I was born.
