Red Night

Chapter 1

KAIZEN'S POV

"You sure you won't come back here?" I sniggered at Aries, my business partner here in Thailand and also my best friend. He grew up in Philippines but migrated here 5 years ago.

"It's too much to never come back haha, I'm always welcome in Thailand." I slid some of my business papers on the folder then piled it before putting it in my suitcase.

He also helped me in packing important things. I didn't bring a lot of clothes, I still had a lot of stuff at grandpa's house.

"What I mean is, you're really gonna settle down in the Philippines for good?" I nodded without hesitation.

My decision is complete. I'm also ready on ruling my grandfather's business. I'm the only grandchild so the company will actually go to me. I will no longer run away from the responsibility that has been waiting for me for a long time.

"Grandpa is sick." I stated referring my grandfather. I know that he's in good health, it's just one of his old alibis for me to come back. I know he just misses me.

"You know he's lying." Aries left a brow then shrugged.

"Yeah. But.." I smiled remembering my first love's handsome face when he confessed his feelings for me 3 years ago.

"Tsk. That Cloud Morrone again." Aries rolled his eyes and locked my luggage.

"You got me. I also miss gramps that's why." I snickered and stood up with my suitcase.

"I felt pity for you Kai." He shook his head and walked out of my penthouse first.

"Whatever. You're just bitter man. Since you've never been in love." I said and followed him. I locked the door and handed him the keys.

"People who are in love are pathetic. They are willing to become deaf, blind and numb. They are willing to sacrifice and do everything." he tsked.

"You only say that because you never know how good it feels. You've got a point though, but being in love felt good. You'll gonna feel it someday and you will understand." I smiled at him.

"Tsked. I'd rather not."

We took the elevator and landed on the first floor. We went straight to the parking area and immediately got into his sports car. He drove fast to the airport and helped me with the baggages even though I only brought two.

"Take care Aries."

"You too Kai." he smiled halfly then waved his goodbye.

I beamed.

20 minutes later, I found myself on the passenger seat of the airplane near the window. I took a peek at the clouds and smiled a little.

It will take hours for me to set foot on my homeland. But my mind already calculated what will happen next.

I will definitely do the right thing that I should 3 years ago. And days from now, I see myself with Cloud Morrone going on dates and happy together. I giggled at my imagination.

I got out of the taxi and paid the driver. Gramps doesn't know that I'll be coming back, it's my surprise for him.

When I entered the gate, I signaled Mang Alfred to be quiet. It smiled and nodded.

I walked towards the main door and reached the doorknob.. when suddenly someone opened it causing me to fall on his chest. Damn hard.

"Careful." he said in a masculine voice. I immediately looked up and stepped back.

That dirty man! Handsome face with perfect body built. He is always attractive but not to me. I don't like this man. He's a dirty bastard with tattoos on half of his neck and both his arms. Piercings on his ears and to the left side of his lower lip brows. I cringed. Not to mention him using a vape or sometimes cigarettes. He also slept with various women every night. What a disgusting creature.

I ignored him and bumped his shoulder for me to get in.

"How rude. You didn't even say 'thank you' and yet you bumped my shoulder on purpose." he pulled my arm causing our distance to decrease. "Still in love with me honey?" he teased.

"F*ck off!" I shouted on his face that made him smirk.

He's always been like this. He is the villain of my life. The villain in my love story back in high school and even college. He always slandered me to my former stagemates and even to my suitors. I don't know why he's doing that, it's a good thing he stopped confessing to me.

"I've been longing to see you again Zen.." he smiled widely and tightened his grip. I was shocked when he pulled me closer to him and he kissed my cheek before whispering..

" Welcome back dummy."

and he left me there fuming mad. That b*stard! Thunder Morrone dmn you to hell!. How dare he? Thanks to him and I'm tired from the flight but he can't really come out without blood in his mouth.

"Is that really you Kai?" I turned around and saw grandpa who was a little surprised at my arrival.

"The one and only." I smiled. I hugged grandpa and he hugged me back. "Hmm I miss my gramps." my affection

"You never said you'll come back." it opened after the hug.
