Chapter 51: Empty

The Oasis, Penthouse---

A drunken handsome guy is sitting quietly on the carpeted floor.

Bottles of different liquors scattered around him along with many cigarette butts.

The man looked so sad and lonely, holding a bottle of whiskey he looked like he lost the will to live.

A faint song 'Malibu Nights - by LANY' was playing softly in the background..

"There's no reason, there's no rhyme

I found myself blindsided by

A feeling that I've never known

I'm dealing with it on my own

Phone is quiet, walls are bare

I drink myself to sleep, who cares?

No one even has to know

I'm dealing with it on my own..."

It was the first time that he fell in love. It merely started out as a casual hook up. He didn't know exactly when he fell for her.

He always feel excited whenever she asked for them to 'play' and would instantly dropped everything he's doing to be with her.

He never really noticed it before, but he have always missed her.

But now, he don't have the right to see her anymore. Since he broke the rule he lose the reason to be with her.

" I got way too much time to be this hurt

Somebody help, it's getting worse

What do you do with a broken heart?

Once the light fades, everything is dark

Way too much whiskey in my blood

I feel my body giving up

Can I hold on for another night?

What do I do with all this time?.... "

He was always surrounded by girls but it was never the same when he's with her. There's always an unexplained warmth in his heart whenever she sees her.

He got this whole penthouse as their 'love nest' and not one of his harem had ever stepped here.

He had always treated her extra special ever since they started their fling.

He called his secretary earlier and ordered him to disband his harem.

He knows not one of them can fill the void in his heart, its only her that can make him whole. .

He's drowning himself in alcohol to feel numb and not feel so empty anymore.

He's thinking that he might as well just provoke Ian, maybe he could just beat him up and kill him.

Its much better than living knowing that he can't see her anymore.

He wanted to chase her, to look for her, but he don't know anything about her.

What he only know is her alluring smile, her gorgeous face, her almond shaped eyes with unfathomable gaze and her sweet scent.

The number she used to text him is an unregistered number, and he can't trace it back.

He even asked BYTE's top hacker to track her but to no avail.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to hold back his tears. He never really wanted to admit it before, but now it's too late, he softly whispered.

"'Maria' i love you. "
