Fall In love With Dwayne Maverick

Chapter 1

"Here he comes again! DM impresses us every year! Again he is the winnerthe winner! No one can beat him, no one!" The announcer said loudly.

"DM! DM! DM!" People shouted.

DM got out of the car smiling and faced the people. He waved them off before reporters approached him for an interview. He answered all their questions. He also happily accepted the medal and trophy.

"Congratulations DM!" People greet him. He was thankful for them.

"Plan?" Leon asked him. His right hand and best friend.

After they entered the car, he removed the medal, he handed the trophy to his friend. "Like before, you hide there." He said here "Aren't you going to call your best friend to tell him the good news?"

"Jelai? "Do you have another best friend?"

"I'll call her later, let's eat first."

"Eating? Aren't we going straight to drinking? "Leon, Leon! Let's take care of our liver first. I still love myself, I don't want to die. Pass first." He says.

"You're not going to call your girlfriend?"

"I'll call later."

"You and Fevy have been together for a long time, until now you haven't introduced yourself to your family."

"Soon." He said weakly.

"Eh, your family? Won't they call you when they find out you've won again?"

"When have they followed my fight? When have they congratulated me? Even if the quago turns white, they will never call me to congratulate, say hello. Who am I among them?"

Leon shook his head. He did not understand why the La Torres treated their friend like that. Dwayne is famous in the field of Auto racing, everyone knows him. It can be said that he has everything except the love of his family.

Dwayne was just quietly looking outside. He is known as DM, no one knows him by his real name, his real personality and his being La Torre. He is a mysterious person to everyone, especially in the Philippines. Only a few know his true personality.

"Aren't you going home to the Philippines?" Leon asked him.

"I'll be home tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Have you booked your flight yet?"

"Yeah." He said and got out of the car first after parking it at an American restaurant. He looked at his phone, someone is calling from the Philippines. He signaled Leon to go in first because he was going to talk to whoever the caller was.

"Dwayne Maverick."

He frowned and he smirked. "Milagro y llamo a mi padre?" My father was miraculously summoned?

"Cuándo piensas ir a casa?" When do you plan to go home?"

"It's a surprise."

"Surprise? You know something surprising. Go home now!"

"Chill, I'm going home too. Bye." He said the call has been switched off. He was about to enter but someone called again. "What?!"

"DM."

He closed his eyes.

His boss "Where are you?"

"In my favorite place."

"Go home, I need to talk to you."

"About?"

"Your work."

"What work? "I'm in trouble Dwayne, so I need you."

He closed his eyes and gasped.

"I will risk my life again for you." He whispered.

"What? "Nothing, just wait for me." He said, he called Leon first, he's going to be with her, he needs a back-up in case of trouble.

"It's time for him to play." Leon said when they arrived at the casino where he was considered the boss when it came to gambling. The man smiled when he saw them, maybe he was a loser so he called him again. He's always the one who catches everything, he's the one who wins every time he loses, he's good, especially at cheating.

He is known not only for auto racing, he is also known for gambling. When he lived in Canada, he was only able to show who he was, what he was good at. Only there he feels the support that he doesn't feel from his family.

Via Kaye Pov

"Trust me Via, when you see my brother Brother Dwayne you might even fall in love." My friend Maxene said.

I took a deep breath and continued looking for clothes. We are here at the mall, my cousins ​​Savory and Maxene invited me. It's good that I was allowed, I'm at the right age, but my parents are still strict with me.

"How can Via see Brother Dwayne because he doesn't show it to people." Savory said.

I just listen to them. I know a lot of stories about the La Torre family, especially Dwayne Maverick La Torre, because he is the one these two often tell me about but he is also the one I have never met in all of La Torre.

"Do you know the racer DM?" I heard the woman ask her companion. It's just my age.

"Sure, who doesn't know that? He's great when it comes to racing and he's very handsome, he's even hot. I have a crush on him." Said one.

"Well we know him too." I heard Maxene whisper so I looked at them with surprise Maxene frowned. "Don't tell me you don't know what they're talking about?" She asked me.

"The DM?" I will ask.

My two friends nodded.

I shook my head. They looked at me in shock. "Seriously Via? You don't know who that is? Don't you watch tv?"

"Watching."

"You don't like sports?"

I shook my head.

"That's why. Come on Via, try watching auto racing, so you can meet the man everyone is talking about." Savory said.

"Everyone's fantasy." Maxene said, she smiled when she saw the dress. His clothing preferences. "You know what, while we're here, go shopping for what to wear for dinner." This is me.

"Huh? "I'm inviting you to come to our dinner tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Why? You're our friend that's why we invited you and another thing is that our family already knows that we invited you and it's okay with them because you're close to our family."

"But– it's embarrassing."

"What are you, Via, you're not different from us." Maxene said, it said a lot more that's why I agreed. To be honest, I have had dinner with them several times and every time I am in front of them I feel ashamed but I can't say anything to the La Torres and I have never been different from them.

"I'll wait for mommy here, so you go first." I told Maxene and Savory. They hugged me and said goodbye. There are still 30 minutes before mommy arrives so I will go around first.

While walking, I heard a familiar name being talked about again.

"Who is DM?" I asked in a whisper. I remember what Maxene said. "You can see mom–." I stopped and let out a low moan because someone bumped into me. Big bulk.

"I'm sorry."

I was stunned when I heard that voice. The depth of his voice, it's nice to listen to the ear. I looked at that man but I saw his back. Tall soya, big body, wearing a hat. It's obvious that this is a nice guy.

From the corner of my eyes I also saw that people were looking at him, I was surprised because it was confusing.

"DM!"

"DM! DM? Don't tell me he's the one they're talking about?

I'm curious, that's why I approached the crowd, I was about to squeeze in, but the DM left in a hurry. I frowned.

"Too bad I didn't see it." I whispered. I'll just watch it later, I'll just look at his face on my social media.

When I got home, the first thing I did was search social media. I sat up to see a picture of a very handsome man. I read his background but only a few things were written about him. There are no photos of him smiling and looking at the camera, all are stolen shots. His full name is also not written there, only DM is written there.

I looked at his picture, I feel that he is very mysterious. Many secrets are kept.

"Via Kaye!"

I closed my laptop and turned to the door. "That's tomorrow." I said.

Mommy came in with a smile on her face. "Busy?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"Get dressed and come downstairs, we have a visitor."

I frowned. "Who?"

"You'll meet him later, and remember don't wear shorts okay." Mommy said and stroked my hair before going out.

I got dressed, even though it's hot, I don't wear shorts, I'm used to wearing shorts when I'm at home, but when I have guests, I wear long pants. When I came down I could hear them laughing in the kitchen. They were still silent and looked at me when I entered there.

"So this is your daughter? She's beautiful." Said a lady, her husband was next to her, I even looked at the two boys who were their children. They looked at me seriously.

"Yes this is our daughter Via Kaye, Via please congratulate them. Your mommy and I were friends when we were in high school, your aunt Guada and your uncle Gerald." Dad's introduction.

I smiled at them and greeted them.

"Meet our son's, Inigo and Icer." Aunt Guada introduced the two children, one Icer was obviously the same age as me and Inigo looked older than me.

We started eating, I just quietly listened to their stories until the topic became about Inigo, who was two years ahead of me. They have many stories about the child.

"What do you think Via?" Mom asked, I was still surprised.

"A-about?"

"About Inigo."

I looked at Inigo with a frown.

"What do you mean?" I asked wonderingly.

Mommy and daddy laughed. "I'm sorry we haven't told you yet. What we want is for you and Inigo to get to know each other." Daddy said.

"Why?" Daddy and mommy looked at each other. I closed my eyes, as if I knew what they meant. "In addition to choosing a man, are you still the buyer?" I asked annoyed.

"Via Kaye!"

"Excuse me." I said to the guests. I stood up and ran to the room. I'm annoyed, here it is again because my parents have already chosen a man for me "Can I sleep with you guys?" I asked Maxene when I called her.

"Do you have a problem? Yes for sure there is! Go ahead, come here with us." He said.

I didn't say goodbye to mommy, I just text them where I am. In less than 15 minutes I reached Maxene, her parents were not there, Brother Kendrick and Brother Cyrus were not there either so it means she is alone.

"Go into the room, I'm just going to get something from the kitchen." Maxene said, I went up the stairs, I stopped in front of a room. It was closed but I wanted to go in. It was Maxene's older brother's room. I'm curious about Dwayne Maverick, I might see some pictures of him in his room.

I looked around, there was no one. I was about to open it but I heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Why haven't you come in yet?" Maxene asked.

I smiled. "I really waited for you." I said.

Maxene held my hand and pulled me into her room.

"Good morning." Maxene happily greeted her brother Brother Kendrick who was at the table eating breakfast.

"Good morning." I am shy to say hello.

"You're here Via, did you sleep here?" he asked.

I nodded and sat next to Maxene.

"She will join us tonight. She will be with us at dinner." Max said.

"That's good, but why did you wake up so late? Don't you have school?"

"No bro, our subject is online today, but it's still tomorrow afternoon." Max said and he put the food on my plate.

"Morning."

My heart beat faster and my hair rose when I heard that voice. I remembered the embarrassing thing I did last night, entering his room without permission.

"Oh my gosh you're here!" Maxene screamed deafeningly, she stood up and met her brother. He hugged her tightly. "I thought you wouldn't show up again." This to my brother.

"Do you still need to be here in the Philippines?" Brother Kendrick asked DM "Yesterday." Short answer, he sat next to Brother Kendrick and he was facing me!

"Yesterday? You didn't even say anything brother, you didn't even show up for me yesterday." Maxene said with a sneer.

"I took a walk yesterday." DM said and he looked at me that's why I was nervous and couldn't move from where I was sitting.

"Finally I can introduce him to you Via." Max promised. "Brother this is Via Kaye he and Savory are best friends. And I am referring to Via, my brother Dwayne Maverick La Torre." Happy introduction by Maxene.

I didn't see any reaction from Dwayne. It just chills while I hold back the shivers. I looked away. I tasted it. "H-hello g-good morning." I stammered greeting. He didn't answer. He just put his food on his plate.

We ate in silence, Maxene was the only one who had many stories. I also couldn't eat properly because there was one Dwayne Maverick La Torre in front of me.

I just breathed a sigh of relief and was able to eat well after he finished eating and left. Maxene and I were the only ones left because Brother Kendrick followed Dwayne, or should I call him Brother Dwayne? Or brother DM?

I stayed at Maxene's house because I was with them for dinner. We were here in the living room watching TV, it was just the two of us here, Kuya Kendrick left and Brother DM was either in his room or maybe out.

Maxene and I stood up when her parents arrived. He greeted them with a hug "Good day." I congratulate them.

"Hi Via, how are you?" Aunt Emily asked.

"I'm fine." I greeted with a smile.

"You're here." Uncle Erick said, he was looking at the stairs. Brother DM coming down the stairs. "It's good that you thought about going home." The lady said seriously.

"Are you not going to ask me how I am? If anything, you don't care about me." Brother DM said sarcastically.

Wait....there seems to be something wrong here.

"Dwayne." Aunt Emily said.

"See your grandfather, now." Uncle Erick ordered his son.

"Why else?" Brother DM said nothing and sat on the sofa.

"Aren't you planning to show him?" His father asked.

"Let's go up to the room first." Maxene whispered to me. We climbed up holding hands.

"Aren't your parents and your older brother Dwayne on good terms?" I asked when we entered his room.

"I don't really know about them. They treat Brother Dwayne differently, they are too strict with him. But because Brother is stubborn, he doesn't follow dad especially grandpa. I can't blame Brother Dwayne why He is distant from my parents, my grandfather, because in truth they didn't make him feel that they love brother, well maybe they make him feel that brother doesn't even feel it. I don't know about them." Maxene's story.

"But why is your brother so mysterious? Why don't people know him, well he is known as DM but not as a La Torre."

"People used to see him but he was young then, but when he grew up he didn't appear to people anymore. He lived in the hacienda for a few years. Their story is that he doesn't want to be known as La Torre."

"Why doesn't he?"

Maxene shrugged. "I don't know. My brother is very secretive, so even I, his brother, don't know what's going on with him. What he goes through when he's not here. Maybe he's okay when we're in front of him, but I feel like he's hiding something, that he's going through something heavy."

It turns out that Dwayne is also going through things, because Maxene's stories to me about him are okay, but it turns out that he also has things to hide.

Chapter 2

It's already La Torre's family dinner, as usual Brother DM is not there.....wait I'm not used to calling him Brother. I prefer to call him by his name without "Brother".

"Where is he?" Don Ignacio asked, referring to DM.

"Leave." Uncle Erick answered.

"Doesn't he really intend to show me?"

"You're not used to him, grandpa." said brother Neiji. "That must have gone to the hacienda."

"At the hacienda or maybe he's racing again. What can he get there from auto racing?" The old man said shaking his head "Well he's famous, maybe auto racing is his fashion." I said. They were silent and looked at me. I bit my lip and wanted to tweak myself. Who am I to interfere in the conversation, I'm not their family. "I-I'm sorry." I said shyly. I breathed a sigh of relief because their topic was different.

I stayed there for a few hours but DM still wasn't there, I thought of going home because daddy had already sent me to pick him up. I avoided my parents because I didn't want to talk about what they were planning, about that man. I just locked myself in the room and didn't realize that what I was watching was Dwayne Maverick's competition. I don't like watching auto racing but now I feel like watching it live.

I've been watching DM's competition for a few days now. When I come home from school, I watch him. I even looked for videos or interviews of him but I couldn't find anything.

"You're addicted to it."

I turned off my cell phone because of the panic. I was still holding my chest. "You scared me Savory." I promise. We are now in the library. Instead of reading I watch.

"You huh, you're already a fan of Brother Dwayne." He says.

I couldn't speak. yes what? Why did I just now realize that I am one of his fans.

"He has a competition in Russia this coming week."

"Russia?"

"Aha! "Is he no longer here in the Philippines?"

"No, he immediately returned to Canada, he was only here for a week." Savory said. That's why when I went to see Maxene, she wasn't there. When I met him that was the first and last time I saw him.

"I want to watch live." I said.

"Oh my gosh!" Savory exclaimed so I looked at him.

"You want to watch? Don't tell me you're going to Russia?"

I nodded and snorted.

"Are you serious Via Kaye?!" He said in disbelief. He even raised his voice so the librarian came and reprimanded us.

"If it's really easy and close to here, I'll definitely go." I said and leaned back.

"But you really want to go?"

I nodded. "I really want to, because we're on vacation next week."

"You really want to go there?"

"Yes."

Savory took a deep breath and nodded.

"Why, what are you planning?" I ask because it looks like he's planning something.

"We will help you."

"Huh? "You want to go to Russia, don't you? To see him. I'll talk to Maxene and we can help you."

"Seriously?"

She nodded.

Come on! He is really serious. "What are you doing Savory, I'm just kidding. I'll just wait for his competition here in the Philippines."

"Via Kaye, I have one word. We will find a way for you to get there."

Good heavens!

So that's it, they took what I said seriously. I didn't think everything was fixed. They also said goodbye to my parents, all they said was that we would stay at the La Torre hacienda for a week. Mommy believed that's why they allowed me.

"Be careful there huh, call us if there's a problem, and if you need anything. Of course call us when you're there." Maxene's language. They took me here to the airport.

I really can't believe this my friends. They will really do everything for me. I also did not think that when I arrived in Russia, someone would meet me and take me to the hotel where I would stay for a week. Maxene even sent the places where I can see DM. Maybe he was asking his brother where he was and where he was going.

I ate at the hotel before I decided to go out. I worked up the courage to take a taxi, I feel a little scared because I might get lost, but of course I have an opening to ask.

I looked up and read the building where I am now. This is a car shop, I went here because DM is said to be here. I entered, someone from my staff greeted me so I pretended to look at the cars. Seeing DM talking to other staff made me smile. It looks like a sports car, as if it can't choose.

"This one suits you." I said and pointed to a car. I don't know why I taught that, I don't know about cars.

He frowned when he saw me. "You look familiar." He said.

My gosh! He doesn't remember me?

"Via Kaye." I said smiling.

It thought more. Looks at me.

"Your sister and cousin's best friend."

"Okay, the one who entered my room without permission." He says.

I bit my lip.

"What are you doing here?"

"To watch your competition." I said, I bit my lip again. Why did I say my goal here in Russia?! It's via!

"What?" because I went on vacation for a while, this is the country I chose to go to "I'm not asking why you're here in Russia, I'm asking why you're here at the car shop?"

"Ahhh!" I laughed. "Well uhmm, I was looking at the cars. Actually I passed by here and I saw the beautiful cars you–."

"You love cars?"

"Of course."

"Do you know how to drive?"

"Eh?" I scratched. "N-no."

"So you don't love cars."

"Huh?"

"If you love cars you should know how to drive." He said and spoke to the staff again. It's a good thing people here don't understand Tagalog, otherwise I would have been embarrassed by what Dwayne said.

"I'll get this one." Dwayne said, I can't believe that the car he is going to buy is the one I pointed out. "Don't think about anything, this is really my first choice." He turned to me. "But your taste is okay." He said and walked over to a man who had just arrived. He's a friend. I just stood there and watched him.

"Wait Dwayne!" I stopped him when I saw him getting into the car. He just looked at me, waiting for what I had to say. nothing, be careful." I said.

He just nodded and got into the car. I followed the departing car. The competition is open, I hope he wins.

I woke up early the next day. I was excited to watch, so I was already at the venue an hour before the game started, I thought I would be the first but there were others ahead of me. The fighters have arrived, my eyes searched for Dwayne, I smiled when I saw him. I'm nervous when the racing starts, I can't breathe properly because of the nervousness. My eyes were only fixed on DM. I hear everyone shouting his name.

I stood up near the end. The three of them were in the lead, which is why my heart beat faster. I prayed in my mind that DM would win. I closed my eyes, I just woke up when everyone was shouting. I even screamed for joy, he won!

I was surprised because he left in a hurry, with a man, this is the one he was with yesterday. It seems like something bad happened so it left suddenly.

I thought of following them. I immediately stopped a taxi and followed the car in which they were riding. I stopped because of the gunshot I heard, the taxi I was riding stopped suddenly. Someone blocked DM's car, there were men holding guns and pointing it at the car.

"Let's go back, it's not safe here." Said the driver. I said I would get off there but the driver did not agree, he backed off and we went back to where we came from. I want to go back, I want to see DM. Maybe what they did to him! Who are they?

Via Kaye Pov

I can't rest here in the hotel. I'm worried about DM, maybe later there will be news about him, bad news.

"Via why were you summoned? Is there a problem?" Maxene asked.

"Could you call your brother? Ask him if he's okay and where he is now."

"Wait where are you? Didn't you follow?"

"I watched, I'm here now at the hotel, because a while ago after the competition ended, he left immediately, he left in a hurry." I said. I didn't know what happened, I know my friend panicked. Maxene said goodbye because she was going to call her brother.

I just walked around the room, waiting for Maxene's update. I stopped, realized everything. Why am I super worried about DM? We are not close. Oh maybe because I'm already his number 1 fan?

I looked at the cellphone when it rang, I immediately answered the call. "Maxene, what did you ask?"

"Good news, he is in the hotel where you are now. Room 218."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, do you think I'm kidding? I didn't tell you that he also stayed there, he and his friend brother Leon."

"O-oh...okay. Can I go see him?"

"Why not, he already knows you. Come and say hello, ganern!"

"Maybe I don't remember." I promise. "Like yesterday he doesn't remember me." I said in a whisper.

"Huh? "No, okay, thank you. I'll just go see him for dinner tonight. Uhmm, what's his favorite food?"

"Why? Are you going to buy him?"

"I-I wish...."

"Beer."

"Hey? "Give him beer, that's what he wants. From breakfast to dinner, that's what's in his tummy."

"Like that?"

"Just kidding. He'll eat any food. He's not picky. Or I'll call him and ask him what he wants to eat so you can bring him later." It said. He said goodbye again, he just sent a message asking his brother what he wanted to eat.

I didn't know where to buy the food he wanted so I just delivered. I fixed myself before leaving the room. I was still nervous while heading to DM's room I let out a breath, taking a bite before knocking on the door. I didn't ring the doorbell anymore. It wasn't long before he opened the door but it wasn't DM, it was a man. This is the one with him. Maybe this is Leon?

The man frowned. It looked down at what I was holding. "Deliver? DM did you deliver?" He asked.

"Uhmm no, c-because Maxene sent it for her brother. She begged me to bring food to DM." I said. Lies!

"Oh you're a Filipino?" He said. "Then come in." He said, leaning over to let me in. I saw DM playing cards. It's fine! Nothing happened to him. He is very well He looked up. No emotion is shown.

"Hi." I am shy to say hello. I raised my hand. "I-I brought here what Maxene said you wanted to eat." I said and put it on the table.

"This looks delicious, maybe it's not just another person?" Leon asked.

"Of course." I said smiling.

"Have you eaten yet?" Leon asked as he brought out the food.

I nodded.

"Thanks." Dwayne said sparingly. He doesn't think I'm on the cards.

"Do you know how to play?" Leon asked.

"Of? "Like tong its, just a game–."

"Sure, I know." I interrupted what he was saying. It's true that I know when it comes to cards, I learned that from daddy. When I was young, I used to watch them play together as friends.

"That's right, it's boring if it's just the two of us. Join us." Leon said. I looked at Dwayne, he was silent.

I don't have anything to do either, so I'll play with them. I sat next to Dwayne, I shouldn't have sat there but I couldn't help but the vacancy was next to him.

I don't know how many hours I stayed in DM's room, because I was enjoying playing with them so I didn't realize the time.

"Oh! You're good, you beat us several times," said Leon.

I just smiled shyly.

"It's already late, aren't you going home yet?" Dwayne asked. Miracle and it spoke. Until recently, he was speechless, Leon was the only one who talked.

"Just a little later, my room is just downstairs." I said.

"I thought you had relatives here and you stayed there?" He asked.

Ooppps! Yes it is! "Uhmm k-because I'm just moving here. It's embarrassing to live with them because there are so many of them there. I don't want to be crowded." where i

Reasons!

"How good of a friend are you to Maxene?" Leon asked.

"It's been a few years."

"So you've known him for a long time?" It asked Dwayne.

"No." Dwayne gave a short answer and it flared up. I'm getting sleepy.

"If that's the case, how can you meet him when you only come home once. You don't stay long in the Philippines." Leon promised.

"I'm leaving, maybe you guys can go to sleep." I say goodbye to them.

"My room is also downstairs, so let's go together, ah yes, by the way, can't we have coffee?" He asked Dwayne who was leaning back with his eyes closed. closed eyes

"M-looks like he's sleepy." I said weakly but he woke up and stood up. He walked to the cabinet, took a jacket.

"Let's go." It said nothing.

"You want to come?" Leon asked me.

"It's already late, let's go." DM said.

"Y-yeah even if it's just you, hin–."

"Come on, of course you're our friend now so it's fine to come along." It looked at DM. "Let's take him with us."

Dwayne just shrugged, he went out first, we followed. I just quietly followed them. There is a cafe near here so we just walked. I was about to pay for the coffee and cake I ordered but Dwayne paid for everything we ate.

"When is your next fight?" I asked Dwayne.

"Next month." He answered without even looking at me.

"Where?"

"In Korea." Leon answered.

"Really?" I just said and nodded. Oh my gosh I want to go to Korea next month to watch him.

I looked at Dwayne's cellphone that was on the table. It lit up, someone was calling him.

Jelai? Who is Jelai?

Dwayne stood up. "Excuse me." He put us aside. He walked away to answer the call.

"Who's Jelai?" I asked Leon.

"You don't know her?"

I shook my head

"Jellavin Javier."

I was like oh. The famous designer.

"His girlfriend?" I will ask.

"Bestfriend. Dwayne's girlfriend is different."

I just smiled. Yes, I know that DM has a girlfriend, Maxene mentioned that to me "Are you a fan?"

"Huh?"

"Are you a fan of Dwayne?"

I looked at Dwayne, just as he turned around so our eyes met, he was still talking to his best friend. He also looked away.

"Honestly, I'm a new fan of his. I don't like auto racing, but because I'm curious about him, I watched him on the internet, because of him I've become interested in watching." my story

Dwayne is really the reason why I always liked his sports.

Chapter 3

"Good morning Russia." I whispered with a smile. I just woke up and went out on the terrace, breathing in the fresh air. I'm awake now that's why I play music and dance inside.

I stopped dancing because of a series of knocks on the door. It was as if the door was about to break because of the loud knocking.

"What's the pr–." I couldn't continue what I was saying because Dwayne was the person I opened up to.

"Is the doorbell broken so you don't hear anything, just knock one after the other and you just go out there." He said seriously.

"Uh-uhmm Sorry because I was playing music so I didn't hear you." I said weakly.

"Get dressed, I'll wait for you downstairs." He ordered.

"Huh?"

"Maxene wants me to treat you, so get dressed and let's have breakfast outside. I will give you 10 minutes, I don't want to keep you waiting." He said and turned his back on me.

I wanted to scream but I stopped myself. I want to call Maxene and say thank you. I will be with my idol! Well I was with him last night but I didn't get to solo him so now I get to get him solo!

I quickly took a shower and got dressed. I hastened to enter the elevator. I went out with a smile and approached Dwayne who was standing and couldn't wait any longer.

"You're late." He said to me.

I looked at my watch. "Just a minute."

"You're still late, didn't I say 10 minutes not 11 minutes or whatever." He said.

"S-I'm sorry. Where are we going to eat?" I will ask.

"Just follow me." This is it. We didn't get in his car, we walked and I regret because I was wearing heels, why didn't I wear rubber shoes, if only I knew we were going to walk!

I frowned that I just followed him. I want to ask him if it's still far because my foot hurts.

I held on tight because I tripped. Good thing I didn't sprain my foot. Good thing I didn't feel any pain.

"Who told you to wear heels?" It asked me. He frowned as he looked at me seriously.

"I-I didn't know we were going to walk."

"Even so, we're not going to a party or office so we shouldn't be wearing sandals."

"Why are we walking when we can use your car or take a taxi?" I suggest.

"You know, I was supposed to go jogging in case my brother called. So I'll just walk because I know you don't jog. You don't exercise."

"No! I danced earlier, that's my work out." I said.

"Really huh."

"How far are we going to go?" I asked while stroking my foot.

"30 more minutes."

"What the f*ck! Seriously 30 more minutes?" I couldn't help raising my voice.

"Your mouth! It's a shame that you curse in a private place." He said that's why I was covered with a mouthful. The taxi pulled up, I led him in because I really wanted to sit down. After a few minutes, we arrived at a small restaurant. Small but beautiful inside and the food looks delicious. I let Dwayne do the food shopping. I said whatever I eat is fine with me. Soya often eats here every time he comes here so the staff knows him.

"Is she your girlfriend DM?" A woman asked, one of the staff.

I almost threw up the water I was drinking. I shook my head while coughing.

"She's not my girlfriend." Dwayne answered.

"Y-yeah we're not a couple." I said and drank water. Did they really mistake me for DM's girlfriend?

"Take a taxi, I have to go somewhere else." Dwayne said after we sister Someone called here earlier and it was obvious that he was in a hurry because he rushed to eat so I hurried up. We haven't been able to talk properly yet. Actually we don't really talk while eating.

"Where are you going?" I will ask.

It looked at me curiously. "Do you need to know where I'm going?" This is a question.

I was so embarrassed that I just shook my head. He waited for me to take a taxi before he took a taxi and left but of course since I had nothing to do I followed him again.

"Thank you." I said to the driver and got off. I didn't reveal it to Dwayne. I just quietly followed him, he didn't seem to notice me because there were people meeting him. This is a building I'm standing in now, I didn't read what was written outside and it's a good thing the security guard didn't come after me because he was talking to someone. Outsiders cannot enter yet.

I looked around. It's wide, I don't know what's in it. They are looking at me, their faces are wondering maybe because they are seeing new faces now and it is obvious that the people there are Filipinos and why do I see only men?

I moaned softly, rubbing my forehead. Why did my head hit something hard, because of annoyance I hit it but I was stunned. I looked up, my eyes widened. I took a step back when I realized who it was, I thought it was a wall or something but it turned out that I hit Dwayne's chest!

Shit!

"What are you doing here?" He asked coldly.

I didn't answer right away. I was thinking of my excuse.

"Uhmm because....uhmmm." Oh my gosh! Brain work!

"Did you follow me?"

"Huh?"

"Did you follow me?"

"I-I can't because–."

"Don't lie Via, it's obvious that you followed me. And you can't just enter here, didn't you even get reprimanded by the gu–."

"It's because he's busy talking to others so I took the chance to get in here." I snorted.

"You can't be here, get out and go back to the hotel, go ahead." It signaled that I was out.

"What's in it?" I asked curiously. "Why is it all men, I don't even see any women."

"Girls are not allowed, so you better leave and go back to the hotel, don't be stubborn." It said authoritatively.

I stopped and covered my ears because I heard a series of gunshots. I don't know where that came from but the people here didn't even flinch, especially Dwayne who was still looking at me seriously. I looked around and everything was just relaxing.

Where did that shot come from?

Dwayne called someone, I couldn't understand what he was saying because it was spanish. "Let's go." He said after he talked.

"W-where are we going?"

"I'll take you to the hotel." He said and stepped forward, I followed him.

"D-are we s-boarding?" I asked while looking at a fancy motorcycle.

"Do you see any other cars?" He asked.

"Is this motorcycle yours?" I asked but he didn't answer me. He just put the helmet on me. He got on first, even though I was nervous, I got on too. Honestly, it's my first time riding a motorcycle so I'm scared. I was clinging to his waist when he started the motor, at first my heart was beating fast because of the nervousness but after a while I was okay especially since he didn't drive fast.

"Next time don't follow me." This is when we arrived at the hotel. "Do you think I didn't know what you did in the first place?" He asked.

Huh?

"You followed me didn't you? It's a good thing you left because you might have died at that time." He said and ran away.

So he saw me when I followed him. How come he didn't look behind at that time.

I went home to the Philippines sad. How come I didn't even see Dwayne before I went home. I went to his condo several times but he was not there. The last time I saw him was when he brought me here when I followed him.

"How is Russia?" Maxene asked me.

"Still Russia." My answer. I opened the book I was holding.

"How's brother Dwayne?" Savory asked.

"He's fine." I answered sadly.

"You don't seem happy?"

"Because I didn't see him before I came back here." I said with a frown.

"Actually, he is already here in the Philippines, he came home earlier than you." Maxene said.

"Then you didn't even say?" I said disgustedly. "You're sulking." I snorted.

"Of course, what we want is for you to enjoy yourself there first. Go for a walk, you're not just following Brother Dwayne."

"How did you know I was following him?"

"Kuya told me about it ano, they say you keep following him, and he's annoyed."

I was exhausted.

"There's a party at home, you're invited, you know you'll see brother Dwayne there."

"I've come several times when there's a party with you guys but he never shows up."

"You know he's about to show up, and wait, I seem to notice something in you." Savory said.

I frowned, he and Maxene looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Are they going crazy?

"Do you like brother Dwayne?" They asked together.

"Huh?"

"You don't like any kind of sports, but when you saw him you suddenly became a fan of him and followed him. Tell me, are you just a fan or have you fallen in love with my brother?"

I coughed at what he said. I don't know why, I don't drink anything. I suddenly realized. My cheeks are even hotter. Oh my gosh....don't tell me...No No No.

"N-no." I still stammered.

"You can't lie to us Via, we know you well. "I bowed down.

Oh no! Is it true? Do I like him? Why is my heart beating so fast?

"N-no, and what's more, he already has a girlfriend. He can't be loved." I said weakly.

"If that's the case, but I never saw her girlfriend. I only see brother Kendrick's girlfriend, but at the party huh, you go. Your parents invited you."

"Yeah, yeah."

I'll just go, maybe I'll see him.

"They say your mommy and daddy can't go home, because they are still in Batangas." Our family driver told me to pick me up.

"Is that so." I just said, I'm used to it, I understand because they are busy. "Brother, stop it first." I ordered, because I saw a familiar face. The person I want to see.

Dwayne got out of his car, turned around and opened the passenger seat door. A woman came out there. She must be his girlfriend. But he seems familiar to me? I took my eyes off them because I saw how Dwayne was kissing his girlfriend. A pain went through my heart.

"Brother let's go." I said to our driver.

Why do I feel this way? Are Maxene right? Am I really in love? Am I in love with one Dwayne Maverick La Torre, I seem to fall for him so fast.

DM Pov

"Are you not going to eat?" My girlfriend Fevy asked me.

"Because I'm still full."

It shines. I wish I hadn't ordered, it's your favorite." He said and paid attention to what he was eating. I just watched him. In the few years we've been dating, I've only just noticed that there's something different about him. There's something different. I feel different, I don't understand. He is so different now.

"How's work?" I asked him."

"It's okay babe, I'm tired every night."

"I heard you're not coming home." I said. It stopped.

"W-what's not coming home?"

"That's what your brother said."

"Babe in the condo, I sometimes go home."

"Did you buy your condo?" I will ask. I don't know about the condo.

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

"I have an apartment why don't you live there. Especially since no one lives there because I'm always away."

"I don't want to be alone. I'd rather live there with you." It said. "Answer it babe." She said, someone is calling me because I'm not answering.

I took a deep breath. I took my phone, stood up and walked away from Fevy.

"Hello?" I didn't want to answer.

"Go home, let's talk." My father said authoritatively.

"What are we going to talk about?"

"Just go home, now."

"Fine."

I waited for Fevy to finish eating before leaving. I was going to deliver him first but he didn't deliver. I want to follow him but I need to go home.

"What the hell–." I couldn't continue what I was going to say because what I saw when I entered the house was the serious face of my grandfather.

"It's good and go home." It said. "Do you really have no intention of showing me?" This is a question.

I smirked. "Mucho tiempo sin verte lolo Long time no see grandfather"

"What do you intend to do with your life Dwayne Maverick!"

I frowned. I grinned and sat down. "Why? What does he mean? I'm already an auto racer and I'm happy there, I'm making money. I'm making a lot of money. What else do you want me to do with my life? This is my passion."

"Passion?! Is that what it's like to be a useless racer?!"

I blew out air. What I hear from him again. He says a lot. Harsh words but I'm used to it. I'm used to the way he treats me, my family please treat me.

"Just work for the company, that's what you should do."

I laughed. "You know the reason why I don't want to work for the company, no matter what you say I will not work or even set foot in your company. You must have forgotten what you told me before." I said.

His eyes were questioning so I laughed even more but immediately became serious. "Didn't you tell me not to show myself to people, not to introduce myself as La Torre. That's what you ordered me when I was a child, that's why you sent me to the hacienda, right? Only the two of us know about that , daddy doesn't even know. I just followed you, so don't force me to join that stupid company!" I raised my voice.

Abuelo couldn't speak, I got up and went to my room. Out of annoyance, I closed the door backwards. I threw myself on the hand, took a series of breaths and remembered the conversation between me and abuelo.

'People shouldn't know who you really are. Remember not to introduce yourself as a La Torre.' he said to me. I was still young and at that time my grandmother Ingrid who always took care of me was dead. 'I'll take you to the hacienda.'

I cried that day. I begged abuelo that if possible, don't take me away from mommy but he made a way to send me to the hacienda, they made a story at school that I was a bully, quarrelsome even though I wasn't. My parents were angry with me, especially daddy, so I couldn't do anything but follow their orders, which is why I distanced myself from them, especially since they didn't even say hello to me and only visited me once. I got used to not having my family with me. Grandma Irene, grandpa's sister, lived with me until I grew up.
