KAMDEN was sleeping peacefully when he suddenly heard a loud knock coming from his door, slowly, he opened his eyes and glanced at the door-- someone other there keeps knocking on the door and it's irritating him.

Gusto pa niyang matulog lalo't pagod na pagod siya kagabi kakatrabaho at kakaayos ng problema sa kumpanya, he is the new owner and CEO of the Salvorte group. He will have to managed everything in his own. Maya-maya tumigil ang kumakatok sa pintoan niya naikina tingin niya roon.

"Thank god--" he was thinking of going back to sleep but when someone kicked on his door, tuluyan siyang nagising at napakurap-kurap nang makitang sira ang pintoan ng kuwarto niya.

It was Mr. Kang who kicked his door.

Kamden just stared at his broken door, and Mr. Kang is smiling from ear to ear--- he was holding a platter-- with a food on it.

Kamden glared at the old man. "Sinira mo yung pintoan ko." May diin niyang sabi sabay tumayo at sinout ang roba saka naglakad patungo sa pang-isang sofa.

"Does it matter? Ilang beses ko nang nasira ang pinto mo dahil ayaw mo akong pagbuksan." Ani ni Mr. Kang na ikina iling-iling ni Kamden.

Naupo siya sa sofa at tinitigan ang bukas na teresa konektado sa kuwarto niya, maganda ang sikat ng araw at mukhang susuwertihin siya dahil do'n.

"You need to eat your breakfast. You still have to meet the Majesty this afternoon." Sansala ni Mr.Kang, he rolled his eyes as Mr.Kang placed the platter on the center table. "I cooked." Mr.Kang added.

He gave him a side glanced. "Anong oras ka naman dumating dito?" Tanong niya saka inabot  ang kape.

"A hour ago." Mr.Kang answered.

Sumimsim ng kape si Kamden saka itong muling tinitigan si Mr.Kang. "Gano'n ba ka importante yang tinutukoy mo na Emperor na gustong tumulong sa kumpanya ko?" Sa halip ay tanong niya.

Mr. Kang nodded and sat beside. him. "He is your father business partner-- well was. Since your father died the majesty decided to end the contract that they had before. But when he found out that your father had a son the majesty changed his mind, tinulungan niya mapalago ang kumpanya ng daddy mo, you should be thankful because without the majesty's help siguro orphange na yung building ng Salvorte ngayon." Paliwanag ni Mr.Kang.

"I haven't seen his face before. Wala rin namang letrato yang majesty." Kamden muttured.

Mr.Kang chuckled and patted his back. "He is a private person."

"Means?"

Mr. Kang sighed. "Means, only your father saw his face."

That made Kamden stopped from eating his breakfast. "What?! so he hide his face or something?"

Mr.Kang nodded. "Yeah, something like that."

Now, he's interested to meet the Majesty, the emperor.

Matapos niyang maligo at magbihis balak na niyang pumasok sa opisina. He still have works to do, he is a workacholic man. He rather finish his work than to have a nonsenses converstion with his friends.

"Good morning, boss."

He just nodded his head whenever he heard a greetings from his employees.

His manager, mr.Kang is with him. The moment they entered the elevator that was also the moment Mr.Kang fixed his necktie, hindi na bago kay Kamden ang ganitong eksena he get used to it, mr.Kang is like a father to him.

Matapos nitong ayusin ang necktie niya saka naman inayus nito ang suit niya.

"Ayos naman ah." Reklamo niya dahil para siyang bata na binibihisan.

"Yeah, I know. You'll be meeting the majesty, remember? kailangan mong magmukhang tao sa harap niya."

"Mukha ba akong hayop?" Naiinis niyang sabi, tawa lang ang tinugod ni Mr.Kang sa kanya.

"When you meet him, please be nice alam mo naman kung gaano ka importante si Thanatos Goivonni sa'tin."

Thanatos Goivonni? weird name. He commented.

Pagkabukas nang elevator halos magkasabay silang lumabas do'n at magkasamang nagtungo sa CEO office room. Sa glass wall palang ng opisina niya makikita na ni Kamden ang limang lalaki na naka black suits at black shades sa loob at may lalaking naka upo sa swivel chair niya at nakatingin ito sa ibang direksiyon. He was told that he will meet the emperor this afternoon he glanced at his watch and it's still Eight A.M. Napaaga ata ang dating nila o sadjang atat lang ito? Which ever the two he will meet and talk to him. Just like what Mr.Kang told him.

Nang makapasok sila sa loob biglang humarang ang lalaking nakatayo malapit sa pinto. "May I ask your name, sir?" the man asked him politely.

Mr.Kang answered. "He is the CEO." Pagkasabi ni Mr.Kang kaagad namang umalis sa pagkakaharang ang lalaki at inuwesto ang kamay sa lalaking naka upo sa upoan ng binata. He must be the Majesty.

Kamden sat on the visitor seat as he faced the majesty. He was wearing a prince attire and black leather gloves, with a half black mask on his face. Covering half of his face tanging ang kalahati lang ng mukha nito ang makikita.

"Sire..." Mr.Kang bowed his head.

Takang tinitigan ni Kamden ang manager niya. "What are you doing?" he said almost a whisper.

Bigla nalang hinawakan ni Mr.Kang ang ulo niya sabay iniyuko iyon. "Ouch!" he hissed.

"Your majesty." Mr.Kang said.

The man who is sitting on Kamden swivel chair chuckled, as if Kamden's manager say something funny.

Kamden stared at the man, the majesty. He was beyond curious what's behind in that mask? a sca r? beasty face? his stared at him until their eyes meet. "I'm Kamden Salvorte, the owner and CEO of the Salvorte group." He introduced himsel.

"So I was told. That's make you the son of Kelleon Salvorte." The majesty stated.

"Indeed, I am. And you are--"

Mapagak na tumawa ang lalaki. "Thanatos, Emperor of the Imperial city in Greece."

A royalty in his office room. This is going to be a long talk.

After a freaking three hours of meeting, he can finally have a lunch break with mr.Kang gustong-gusto nang makaalis ni kamden sa conference meeting room tatlong oras siyang nakaupo sa swivel chair habang kausap ang Emperor, he doesn't seem to trust him Kamden can tell. Nang masiguro na niyang lumabas na ang iba sa conference meeting room do'n lang siya tumayo at inayus ang sout niyang suit He almost forgot the Emperor was still there-- waiting for someone? he don't know pero mukhang may hinihintay ito. Kamden can't just leave him here alone he need to show some respect and act friendly just like what his Manager said to him.

He cleared his throat. "
A-are y-you waiting for someone, your majesty?" he asked.

Thanatos closed his eyes then he lean his back to the swivel chair, he didn't respond. Kamden forehead knotted siguro ayaw siya nitong kausap but what mr.Kang told him it's what making him talk. "Should I ask your guards to come in, your majesty?" he asked again, still no respond.

"Your grace--" Nagulat si Kamden nang biglang tumayo ang binata at naglakad palapit sa kinatatayoan niya, siya naman ay napa antras dahil sa sobrang lapit nito sa kanya, patago siyang napalunok nang maramdaman na tumatama ang hininga nito sa tungki ng ilong niya, yeah he is not that tall kind of man hindi rin ganon ka matcho ang katawan niya, siya lang ata ang lalaking hindi mahilig mag gym he rather spend his vacant time on working than to go to the gym saka kahit nga isang marbel lang ay mababali na ang buto niya. He is not that strong but he can fight.

"Napakadaldal mo naman." Reklamo ni Thanatos.
Slowly, Kamden looked at up to scan his majesty face, he look gorgeous ngayon niya lang napansin ang magandang kulay nang mata ng binata. He has this electric-red eyes with a black tint in it, it giving him a weird feelings. "S-sorry b--but c--can you step back... Y-you're so.. close to me." Nauutal niyang sabi.

Thanatos just realized how close they were to each other, mabilis itong lumayo at hinulot ang noo nito. "Where's your rest room?" Thanatos asked.

"I-i can just--"

"Where?" he sounded so sleepy right now.

Kamden cleared his throat. "I'll lead the way, your majesty."
Walang ginawa si Thanatos kundi ang sundan ang binata he doesn't want to get closer to him, dahil parang may kakaibang sensasyong dumadaloy sa kanya he need to get the hell out of here, pronto. But first he need to go to the rest room to calm his friend down there. "Damn it..." He hissed when he felt his friend down there getting hard.

"This way, sir." Wika ni Kamden at inuwesto ang kamay sa Boys rest room.

"Thanks." Nagmamadaling pumasok si Thanatos sa loob sabay nilock ang pinto wala na siyang pake sa mga gustong pumasok he need to do it, right here-- right now.

After a while, Kamden decided to take the majesty to nearest café for a little cheer-me-up, where he ordered a latte and black coffee. Magkaharap ang upoan nilang dalawa at kitang-kita sila sa labas, sumimsim ng kape ang binata sabay tumingin sa labas, maraming mga photographer sa labas ang nagtatago para lang makunan ng letrato ang binata habang si Kamden ay di pilit na itinatago ang mukha niya nang saganun ay makaiwas siya sa gulo. He just wanted to talk to the majesty-- privately pero mukhang hindi private ito dahil sa mga photographer sa labas may mga gunggung na photographer na naka On pa ang flash ng camera pero nagtatago naman. He blew an annoying breath and stared at Thanatos for a while.

The man infront of him is mysterious. He is curious. What's behind in that mask? his eyes settled on Thanatos lips that parted a little. He has this natural pinkish lips. Kamden is kinda jealous siguro ganon ito kaguwapo kaya tinatago nito ang mukha sa public.

He cleared his throat " Uhm, mr.Kang had mentioned to me that you knew my father?" he asked

Thanatos licked his lips and picked up his coffee then he glanced at him " He is my business partner." Thanatos said in a cold tone.

" How did you meet my dad?" He want to know, he will take the chance to know everything. Sa mga naririnig niyang haka-haka talagang misteryoso ang lalaking ito, ni ang storya nito sa buhay ay walang nakakaalam. " It's a long story. " Maiksing sagot nito

He doesn't like talking. Kamden commented

Bumuga siya ng hangin saka sumimsim ng latte " Normal naba to sayo?" Nag-bigay tingin sakanya ang binata at may pagtataka na nakaguhit sa mukha nito " I mean, this. " Tinutukoy niya ang mga photographer sa labas na panay parin ang kuha ng larawan ng binata. They all look professional and desperate.

" This is normal." Sagot ni Thanatos " Normal pa sayo toh?!" sigaw ni Kamden sa di alam na kadahilanan, why did i shout? napatingin sakanila ang mga tao sa café dahil sa lakas nang pagkakasabi ni Kamden. " I-i mean-- "

" I don't like people who ask me too much question. " Deretsohang sabi ni Thanatos.

"..."

Marahas siyang bumuga nang hangin " I thought we're here to talk about the business. You know i'm a busy man mr.Salvorte i run the biggest estate companies in asia i also run the three resorts in three different countries and after this i will be heading back to Imperial city of greece. " He paused and lean in forward " So stop asking, and just talk about the business proposal."

Patagong lumunok si Kamden dahil sa lapit ng mukha ni Thanatos sakanya, parang na blanko ang isip niya dahil sa pagtama nang mabangong hininga ng binata nakakaadik rin ang pabangong gamit nito parang gusto niya din ng pabangong ganon. " Uhm.. S-sure " Nuutal niyang sabi at mabilis na yumuko

" Hurry up, i only have 30 minutes left." Ani ng binata na ikina angat ng tingin ni Kamden rito " Eh? t-thirty--"

" 29 minutes."

" So as i was gou--"
" 28."

Kamden took a deep breath and decided not to talk about it. Instead of topicing the business proposal he did what can make his day good. He ignored Thanatos presence. " If you're that busy. Then you can go." Nakangisi niyang sabi pero lagpas hanggang impeyerno ang pagkairita niya rito. " What?" Thanatos seem to be shocked

Kamden eyes bored into him " Sorry for wating your time. " He then, stood up and every photographer out there was expecting him to bow his head sign of respect for the Emperor of the Imperial city of Greece. The expections of every photographer outside leaded them to disappointment. Kamden just left without saying anything and respecting the majesty. He had enought it been a rough day for him, when his car parked in front of him, he waited for his Driver to come out to open the door car for him. Kamden is little biatch savage.

Thanatos was just looking at the man who just brought him into this café and also left him alone. He is now watching Kamden entering his car and was about to left but the Window car opened at saktong pag-andar ng sasakyan balik sa dereksyon dinaanan nila kanina. Sa bukas na bintana ng sasakyan ni Kamden kitang-kita ni Thanatos kung papaano soutin ng binata ang sunglasses nito at tumingin sa dereksyon niya. Parang mala slow-mo ang pangyayari. Hanggang sa tuluyan nang nakaalis ang sasakyan na iyon. Thanatos chuckled and looked down as he rubbed his lower lips using thumb " Ah, don't be so ridiculous " Aniya sa sarili habang napapailing-iling. Iyon lang ang lalaking di yumuko sakanya kanina-- siguro ay nasanay siya sa parating may yumuyuko sakanya bago ito umalis. But that guy is different.

" Your majesty " Thanatos blinked and got back to his senses when he heard his butler annoying voice " What?" he said in a low tone. His butler pointed at the car that already parked outside. " You still have a flight to catch, sire." Indeed his butler voice sounded so annoying to Thanatos.

" I hate your voice,tsk." Thanatos said then he walked away.

His butler has this angelic voice, honestly speaking. His butler voice is not that annoying he just don't want to hear a single word from him.

As Thanatos stepped out from the café the photographer gone crazy maraming body guards ang nakabantay at harang sa mga photographer na gusto siyang kunan ng larawan. Some of them are desperate to remove his mask but they can't do it because He has what he needs. His butler and bodyguards are the one who's protecting him from this shits. Even though he had enough of them shit he still managed to calm and ignored them. He get used to it but sometimes he just wanted to be in the place where no one knows his name and won't judge his imperfect painful life.

Nasapo niya ang sintunado nang makapasok na siya sa kutse at sumunod naman ang butler niyang si Jared " You still have a meeting with mr. Salvort--"

He covered Jared mouth to shut him up pero marahas namang inalis iyon ni Jared " What is wrong with you? i'm checking your schedule!" napapikit mata si Thanatos sabay kinamot ang tainga dahil sa lakas tumili ng binata " I'm still your King." Aniya

Jared rolled his eyes " Do you want me to cancel your meeting tomorrow with Mr. Kamden Salvorte?"

He suddenly remember that guy irritating voice. " Yeah. His voice it's irritating me."

Jared chuckled slyly " Irritating? ha. "

Thanatos nodded his head as he raises his middle finger at Jared "Oh, majesty what if so--"

" Fuck off, i need a rest. " he closed his eyes " A long time rest, that's what i need. Red " He added, his been stressing out lately his works is taking his free time and being the emperor of the Imperial city of Greece is not that easy but he got it undercontrolled. Thanatos is thankful because Jared was with him when he was a kid, bata pa lang sila ay kilala niya na ito, Jared is not just a butler to him he is also a friend of him.

" YOU WHAT?" mr.Kang shouted at Kamden at siya naman ay nahiga lang sa sofa at hinayang tumalak ang manager niya.

He doesn't want to hear a single word from Mr.Kang, he need a rest!
