Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Magnum

"You're so boring, Magnum," Sandro whines, pouting like an ugly duck. "Why don't you hang out with girls out there?"

"You know I can't." Magnum scowls at him, sitting comfortably on a leather couch across from his bestfriend.

"Awe," Sandro feigns a hurt, clenching his chest. "You're the lamest person I've ever met."

"I've heard worse," he says in sarcasm.

Magnum rolls his ocean blue eyes and leaned on his executive chair. He crosses his legs comfortably.

He sighs under his breath. It's been two months since he took over his mother's position as the CEO of Vindictive Majesty Company.  It has been the plan since he was still in college. He is the heir of the Madrigals and he should be reigning the empire.

"Ugh," Sandro groans frustratedly. "I don't know what to do with you now, Magnum. You still don't have secretary."

"I heard that," a familiar blunt voice pipes in as she walks towards the men. Her blue eyes are swimming in triumph.

Kimber is wearing a white turtle neck cotton shirt, pastel pink blazer paired in pastel pink slacks. Her hair is tied in an up do style which makes her look good.

"Hey, Kimber!" Sandro greets Magnum's twin sister. He stands up and welcomes her with embrace.

"Oh, fuck off, Sandro." Kimber growls and rolls her blue eyes. Magnum, on the other hand, smirks at the sight of the two while Sandro protrudes his lower lip.

"You're on PMS again, Kimber?"  Sandro jokes.

"Why do you care?" She rolls her eyes again then turns to Magnum. He suddenly felt uneasy with Kimber's scowl. "We're not yet done, Magnum."

"Hmm," Magnum hums, tapping his chin. "I suddenly wonder what you're going to do with me, twinny."

"Ugh!" Kimber stomps her feet like a child but Magnum just laughs at her. He enjoys frustrating his twin sister. "Make it up, Magnum. Make it up!"

"What?" Magnum laughs and sits up straight.

"You gotta be kidding me!"

"Woah!" Sandro blurts out. "What's going on here?"

"Shut up, will you?" Kimber spits, pushing Sandro off to the couch then turned to Magnum with fire in her blue eyes. "I will make you pay for the damage you've caused to my baby, Magnum. I'll make sure of that!"

Magnum hit Kimber's sports car. He promised he'll take care of the car but he just failed.

"Whatever you say, Kimber." Magnum rolls his eyes tiredly.

"I'll tell mother and father I'll find you a secretary. Watch and learn, Magnum. This is for payback."

Kimber turns around and storms out. Magnum, on the other hand, lets a sigh out as he runs his fingers through his hair.

"What the hell was that, Magnum? You're a donk for frustrating Kimber!" Sandro yells.

"Says the angel," he mocks. "If I know, you like my sister."

"N-No way!" He stammers. His cheeks turn red.

Alexander Montgomery grew up with the twins but he is more connected to Magnum. They know each other's secret. Or maybe Sandro is just too transparent that Magnum easily notices the way Sandro looks at Kimber.

"Hmm... sounds defensive," Magnum teases, making Sandro avert his eyes from him. Sandro looks guilty while Magnum almost laughs at his reaction.

"Gotta go, man. You're so boring," he says and whirls around. Without any word, he goes out and closes the door.

Magnum sighs again. The silent corners of the office remind him of a cold breeze during nighttime. The light coming from outside world symbolizes hope to his dull and boring life.

Magnum is known as a ruthless man. Yet, he doesn't give a fuck about it. He knows his ground and no one can break it. Unless his family.

12:00 in the afternoon when Alexander shows up inside Magnum's office with a woman around his age. Magnum is a year ahead from Sandro but they entered school in the same year.

"Hey, man!" Sandro greets proudly, holding the girl's waist as they walked towards Magnum.

Magnum just rolls his eyes then turns to his laptop. He has no time for fucking, not even interested with this girl in front of him.

"This is Ella, Magnum. Magnum, this is Ella." Sandro introduces.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Magnum-"

"Mr. dela Costa." Magnum quickly corrects and scowls at them. "You're in my company so don't try to be friendly enough with me."

Ella's eyes redden, tears are welling up in her eyes while Magnum groans under his breath. He hates dramas. This is the reason why he hates girls. They are so pathetic and dramatic. They think they could turn the table with their teary eyes.

God. Why the hell was she crying?

"You're so mean, Magnum!" Sandro yells, trying to console the girl named Ella.

Magnum scans the whole body of Ella. The girl is petite. She is wearing a tight dirty yellow dress that makes her look like a poop. Plus, her make up is so thick for her pale white skin.

"What do you expect, Alexander? What do you want me to do?" Magnum spits.

Why won't he fuck himself instead? Why does he have to tangle me with this situation?

He hates girls. Once they'll get attached to him, they'll become needy and attention-seeker. They always act like a woman with menopause. They are territorial and possessive.

"Ugh!" Sandro groans again and turns to the crying girl. But Magnum is Magnum. He doesn't see Ella as interesting woman.

She's plain and boring. Nothing caught my attention to her. Her ironed hair was cascaded down to her waist.

Nothing is interesting. Magnum only sees this girl as sex addict.

"You better go now, Alexander." Magnum hisses. There is a warning shot in his voice. "You're just wasting your time with this shit. And please, for fuck's sake, find a better woman. She's boring."

The girl cries even more. Magnum stands up frustratedly. This girl is getting under his skin. He hates cries and everything about girls. They were just distraction.

"I'm sure this is not the last one, Magnum." Alexander challenges. "I'll find a woman who would fit in your standard."

"Faster," he mocks. "I can't wait anymore."

Sandro throws a smirk before leaving Magnum's room. As soon as the two left, Magnum heaves a long sigh. That was a hell joke!
