BLAKE'S POV
A man walking down the stairway with the maroon tuxedo, black necktie, and maroon trousers. Everyone in the dining chamber is quiet and holding back everything they do. They all stare at the gentleman, who walks gently. A garish dining chamber became the scary ambiance as the frigid breeze passed by.
"Good evening"
Everyone puts together their hands to form a triangle as they bend their head down to the man who enters. He provides a terrible grin to everyone in the dining chamber. "Have a seat everyone" We could hear only his voice. No one was attempting to speak or make any commotion out of respect. You can tell in the visitor's eyes the wonderment and high respect for my father. After a while, they only keep talking and compliment how excellent and unique my dad was.

" Blake do you have any girlfriend?" Uncle Grip asked me
"meron po uncle" I counterfeit my smile to all of them. Everyone in the clan looks at me with interest. The individuals around me are clearly pleased at the moment from their expressions. With the slow melody being played, it puts pressure on me.
When I heard them ask, "Really, where is she?" I stopped slicing the steak and brought out the wine, enjoying a sip as I smiled at them.
"Lemme call her" I excuse myself and call Sofie.
Sofie agreed to be my proxy lover. Why isn't she here now?
0931******-
Sofie's number wasn't saved to me, due to misfortune I forgot the last digit, maybe it's 3 -
No, it's 6, m-maybe?
0931******6
*phone ringing*
"What" Sofie picks up in a cold tone, maybe she's still upset with me because of what happened in the hospital.
"Come here! I've been waiting for you for a while. They're asking about you. Wear one of your most elegant black dresses, it must be chic. I'll send you the location." I drop up and forward Sofie to the location. To these individuals, power, money, position, and honor are more important than anything else. They will also sacrifice their flesh and blood to achieve the success they desire. If you didn't realize their greed, you might think my family was the best. Are there any men who are truly free from evil? Can anyone honestly claim that they have not been greedy?

I slowly walked inside of the dining room, a happy conversation forming as their eyes stared at me. Iyon lamang ang makakapag tigil sa blind date na halos linggo linggo kong pinupuntahan.
"She's on her way" after i spill those words they all feel at ease. Kinuha kona din ang kutsilyo ko at unti unting hinihiwa ang karne. Nakakatawang isipin na mas iniisip pa nilang ipressure ako sa pagiging taga pagmana ko. Imbis na isipin nila kung paano sila makakahinga sa oras na makuha kona ang pwesto at manganib na ang iniingatan nilang posisyon.
"Oh, she's here-" Aunt Miriam smiled as she saw Sofie.
I slowly turned my head in the direction Aunt Miriam had pointed. She is lovely, the black dress truly fits her. Her elegant dress made her charm even more highlighted.
Her elegant dress made her charm even more highlighted
It's not Sofie! She's Hera. Anong ginagawa nya dito?
"H-hey babe, right here" I immediately called Hera to my side. You can see the collision in her eyes as I called. This must be a mistake. It must!
Elegante syang naglalakad papunta sa tabi at pekeng ngumi-ngiti sa mga tao.
"Bakit ka andito, where is Sofie?" I whisper in her ear. She looked at me confused as she doesn't know who Sofie was?
"Where is Clark?" She whispers back
Clark? who the hell is that Clark?
I smiled at the guess and let Hera sit.
"Let all toast on Blake's introduction to his girlfriend" Everyone took their wine and raised it

HERA'S POV
After evening meal with Blake's family, I brought him over to a room. I crossed my blazon and look vacantly at him, as he wince and stared at me. Looks like he does not know what the hell going on.
" Blake, what's this? where is Clark ?"I puzzled stares at him. You can also see on his face that confusion.
"Clark? sino yon? ang tanong ay bakit andito ka sa mansion! Where is Sofie?" he asked back
Sofie? sino yon!!
" Wait? Sofie? Sinong Sofie?"
Huminga siya ng malalim, kitang kita ko ang pag bagal ng oras habang kinakagat nya ang namumulang mga labi. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito nalamang akong umasta sa tuwing napapatingin ako sa lalaking ito. Malakas na sensasyon ang umuudyok saakin upang halikan ang lalaking ito.
" I- I go-gonna go" I swallowed as I turned to look down. As my cheeks burned bright red, I turned back to look up. The handle seemed to lose its sting, my tongue seemed to recede, and I didn't want to ask a question about the misunderstanding. When I turn the handle, I notice that my pale hand trembles.
" Wait " Lalong bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko nang magsalita ang lalaking kasama ko.
" Ihahatid na kita" My heart jumped even higher and lower at what Blake said. May mali ba sa katawan ko? Bakit ganito na lamang ako kabahan?
" Wag na" Humarap ako dito at nag bow. Pagkatapos ay binuksan ko na ng tuluyan ang pinto. Ilang sandali ang nagdaan ng namalayan kong hawak-hawak na ni Blake ang malambot kong kamay.
*hiccup*
I heaved as I gazed at the hand he was holding. My reality halted and astounded gazing at its dull face. Maybe butterflies were playing inside my stomach, alongside the quick and insane thumping of my heart.
" G-get your hands off *hiccup* me" I hesitate as I have spoken these tiffs. He just stares at me foolishly and gradually brought his face closer to mine.
In response to his words, my cheeks became even redder. He was still standing close to me, making breathing difficult.
Hinila niya ang kamay ko palabas sa kwartong ito nang hawak-hawak ang kamay ko. Ang kanang kamay naman niya ay naka lagay sa bulsa. Tuwid at diretso lang itong naglalakad. I couldn't help myself, my jaw droped to the floor as my eyebrows shot towards the ceiling. This is the first time that a man has the guts to hold my hand, and it feels so warm. Nagmistulang aso ako na sumusunod sa kanya palabas sa malaki at eleganteng pintuan. Patuloy lang siyang naglakad habang nilalampasan ang mga lalaking naka itim na yumuyuko sa kaniya. Walang dudang membro siya ng Dark Lotus Mafia tulad ng sinabi ni Alona.
