ACE'S POV

"Rogelio, where is everyone?" I asked after I look aroound. Nakita ko si Rogelio preparing lunch kays siya na ang tinanong ko. Rogelio is the head butler and he's a family already.

In fact, in our family photo, Yaya, and him is at our side.

We arrived at the mansion after the eventful day then I proceeded to look for Mom and Dad since they don't have any appointments every weekends.

"Good morning Señorito, they are at the entertainment area." Rogelio is rather very formal and strict in rules. Kahit na anong pilit ay ayaw niya talaga kaming tawagin sa first name.

I left after thanking him and proceeded to the elevator. And yes, this mansion has an elevator.

"Mom and Dad, where are you guys!?"

"Here!!" I heard mom from the video game area, kaya sindundan ko na lang ang sigawan nila just to witness mom and dad playing video games. Yeah right, mga isip bata.

"What do you want, princess?"

"I came here to tell you that my friends invited me to this car race." I said nonchalantly as I keep my eyes at the monitor.

This morning, I received a message from Kuya Silver inviting me to one of his car racing event. After that, Miles came barging reminding that I still have an event to attend to. I found out that this is the same event with friend's whereabouts. Pagod ako, but I need to attend this event.

"Oh? Can we go?" Dad asked.

"No. Makakakuha lang kayo ng atensiyon and that's the last thing I need right now." Paparazzi are my code for cameras and reporters who are always at our tail.

Tumigil sila sa paglalaro at naupo sa harapan ko. Mom served dad his tea. Nagtinginan sila na parang may nalalaman at itinatago. Oh, God. Sila na 'ata ang may sikrito pero they are also so halata. These two are unbelievable!

"When is this racing by the way?" Mom asked serving herself a cup of tea. They're clearly hiding something.

"Later, seven in the evening," I remember Miles saying that and hastily calling Dinah for the outfits.

After a long debate with Mom and Dad I am now finally in my room with Miles and my team choosing my outfits.

"This one, this is more him." Dinah showed Miles and her team my outfit.

It's not bad actually, it's my kind of 'me', white shoes, racing outfit that was customized to look like a high-waist jean, a black tee-shirt with a 'bitch you should win me instead'. Wala naman akong pakialam sa mga susuotin ko. People knew every part of me, naked.

Miles informed me that I will be the one holding the race flag to commemorate the start of the race.

At my age of 17 I can classify myself as hot, I can rock things out.

"Ace, are you even paying attention to me." Kuya Silver said and while I was spacing out, "As I was talking, may mga kaibigan akong makakasama, some of them are racer so they will race with me." I quirk a brow at him since when did he become so informative?

"Why do I even need to know that? Kuya, wala naman akong pakialam sa kung sino pa 'yang mga kaibigan mo!" I can't help to question him and he sighed resting his head on the car.

"Baka kasi sa akin mo ituon ang galit mo mamaya." He said nonchantly, hindi ko iyon masiyadong narinig kaya hindi ko na lang pinansin. My feet are sore and tired.

"Okay, now get out, kuya!" I pushed him out of my car.

"I will go with you." What?

"No."

"Why?"

"You should learn to mind your business, kuya. Ayaw kong malaman ng mga babae mo na magkapatid tayo. And more thing, fuck anyone but not those models I have worked with, it's damn awkward!" I rolled my eyes at him, of course he knew already. He just loves the spotlight and the attention.

"Then, what's wrong with that?" Seriously, papatirin ko na ito palabas ng sasakyan ko.

"That is so wrong, kuya! People will mistake us as some sort of couple, knowing you, a man-whore and a philandering bastard will ruin my image! Now get out of my damn fucking car, asshole!"

"Ouch. That hurts, princess."

"Dapat lang! Chupeh na nga kuya eh! Ang kulit mo!"

"Okay, okay. I won't go with you. Actually, I already planned on going with one of my friend's since they'll be using Pegasus."

Pegasus, well it's Jacob's. Pegasus is a private helicopter.

"Manuel, to Villamayor Hospital, please." Miles and my team are already at the track with the reason of finalizing the events and my schedule. I don't know why but they said they were mandated by dad since an important person will be there. Now I'm sure na may something na tinatago sila sa akin.

We arrived at Villamayor Hospital at exactly 6:20 in the evening so time to buckle up. When I entered the hospital, people starred at me, ang ibang staff ay alam na kung sino ako since may records na ako dito. I proceeded to the private elevator used only for emergency and for my family and press Rooftop.

You may be wondering on what the hell am I doing here in the hospital where in fact I should be going already to the Race Track, well its simple, my transportation is parked here. The elevator opened and Guards are everywhere, some of them are assisting me since the pilot is starting its engine.

I miss this. I miss Pixie. I miss my helicopter. I used it sometimes for private purposes. Yup! Pixie is a helicopter, Mom and Dad personally bought this as their birthday gift when I was 5. I used to watch Tinker bell the movie that time so I have this dream of flying just like the movie I was watching. Dad refuses and proceeds in explaining that it was just a movie animation.

I cried so much that time and when Mom arrived from a business trip, she asked me why I was crying then I told her I want to fly. I told her what Dad has said to me. It ends with Dad getting smacked by Mom.

It lasted for an hour till Kuya Silver comes home from school with a Helicopter toy in his hand. I was still crying in that moment and Silver asked me what was wrong then I also told him that I want to fly, pointing Tinker bell on the screen flying around. That night Dad called his someone saying he will buy a new helicopter with the same design with the toy, Silver was holding. In the morning I was so excited and together with the Villamayor household, we proceed to the Villamayor Hospital and then... Woala! There's my helicopter with my name in it.

"This is Captain Diego requesting for a landing." That broke my trance and I did notice that we are at the top of the race track, requesting for landing. From this height I noticed pixie on the billboard screen looking as elegant as ever in her gold skin.

The helicopter landed eventually, a minute was waited for me to go out since I don't need my attire to be ruined by the strong wind.

Screams are heard throughout the race track and I noticed that we landed on the center field of the Track so that is why people are gaping at me or on the screen rather. On the screen, I see myself smiling and waving my hands to the people.

"That's enough, Mr. Celebrity." Dinah interrupted my moment kaya natawa naman ako.

"I wish I was with you, I would love the attention." I laugh at that, she had always been at my side ever since mom hired me so it's no surprise on how much attention she got.

"Yeah right, any instruction?" I walked to the bleachers area noticing that Pegasus is fast approaching for landing. Miles instantly came close to me with a headphone on her head, a clipboard on his hand. What's with the outfit?

Gwen explained, "ibibigay sa'yo ang race flag mga ilang minute bago pormal na magsimula ang racing, you are to walk in the middle of the starting line looked up for the time at the billboard screen, tas ikaw na ang bahala sa mga poses mo. You can do it." Oh? That's easy.

"By the way where are the others?" I look around the race track to find my friends but I see none of them.

"Your friends, wala pa ni-isa sa kanila ang dumating, Ace. Baka sumabay sa kapatid mo." With the mention of my brother, I noticed him coming out from the helicopter with my friends at his tail.

"AHHHHH!"

"IT'S ARCHIEEEEEE!!!"

"NOTICE ME PLEASE!!!"

"FUCK! HE LOOKED AT ME! DID YOU SEE THAT SARA?"

"NO! HE LOOKED AT ME!"

"JUNJIEEEEEEEE! YOU'RE SO HOT!"

"AHHHHH! PAUL! TAKE ME TO BED!"

"NO! RYLLLLLLLLLLLEEEE!"

"RICCHHHAARRDDD WASAKIN MO ANG BAHAY-BATA KOOOOO!!"

"DAMN! SILVEEERRRRRRR! BE MINE!"

*shouts* *scream* *shriek* *gasp*

All those are heard from the stadium. In terms of fan-girls, these men are really at the top, I on the other hand am more into men.

"Baby, princess!" Kuya Silver shouted from the field and I on the other hand, give him the eye. I approach them and I instantly glared at him.

"Why didn't you tell us that you're taking Pixie as a ride?" Ryle instantly complains while hugging me. The others follow suit. Some of them are busy waving their hands to those hindot fan-girls.

Archie was about to say something but a voice interrupted him. It boomed throughout the whole area

"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, READY YOUR SCREAMS FOR THE GREATEST RACING GAME OF THE YEAR!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"OMGGG!"

"IT'S STARTINGGGG!"

"JACCCCCOBBBBB!"

"SILVVEEERRRRR!"

"BABYYYY FARAAHHHHHHH!!"

"MINNEEEE!"

"AHHHHHHHH!"

"NOOAAHHHHH!"

"VIIINNCCCEEEEEE!"

"SOOOOO HOOOTTTT!"

The Bleachers is shaking and I can't help but to laugh at the people shouting. Naawa ako sa mga bunganga nila kasi parang pagod na pero todo pa rin kakasigaw. They sure are fan of car racing.

All those names that they shouted are all bachelors. Some are older brothers of my friends.

But all shouts halted when an unfamiliar helicopter landed at the ground.

There standing the man whom I give the title of Devil, "Lance Cliton Zapanta".

The living hell!

Naiintindihan ko na kung bakit ganun na lang kong umakto ang mga tao sa paligid ko kanina. Dumating na pala ang mapapangasawa ko.
