Brandon switched off the TV after watching Erwin's demised on the local news.
He smilingly looked at his hands as he remember how Erwin cower in fear infront of him.
'Who told him to brought up Tia's name?'
He thought as he eats his breakfast thinking about the events last night.
He got annoyed by how Erwin had mention Tia in their gathering.
He could tell all his former classmates were thinking of lewd thoughts about Tia.
He reckoned, no one should say Tia's name in vain.
And no one has the right to have indecent thoughts for her except for him.
He had helped her through her difficult times when they were in high school.
None of his classmates had the courage to help her when she was having a hard time doing school work and looking after her mom.
Its only fair that he was the one that deserve Tia.
And it was just a matter of time before he could confess to her.
He had plan on professing his feelings for her after graduation.
If only he hadn't succumb to his urge that day. He wouldn't be caught and all his plans were foiled.
After he moved to the US he tried his best to become the man he thought that was suitable for Tia.
He started building up his career and making his name well known. He persevere with having Tia as his aspiration.
He was just gonna beat up Erwin that night but he got really pissed off when Erwin called him as "Tia's fan"
'How dare he lump me together with them. Lowlife bastard he brought it upon himself.'
He sneered then walked out of his hotel room.
At the hotel lobby he saw Tia together with Ian patiently waiting for their car at the entrance.
He saw how Tia lovingly smiled at Ian as he gently stared at her while he tuck her stray hair at the back of her ears.
They gave such an adoring couple vibe that everyone who looked at them can't help but be in awe.
Everyone except for Brandon that is.
It was such a coincidence for them to both checked in at the same hotel out of the many hotels around D City.
He stood far away from them making sure that Tia wouldn't notice him.
He intently watched each of Tia's movement.
Her sweet smile, her gentle kind looking eyes and her every gesture until Tia went inside the black Maserati.
