Chapter 1: Filled guests

Two years ago, Jayson made sure his best friend feels safe and right at home, and as the days flew by the girl enrolled in public high school and works part-time, she works for Jayson as his P.A. (Photographer's Assistant).

Everything was going well until two cars and a motorcycle came to Jayson's house, his parents hear a knock on the door and when they opened it, seven men stood in front and across the door, one man asked "Excuse me, do you have our sister here? her name is sodelle".

Meanwhile, Jayson and the girl so-called Sodelle are on their way home after the shoot, not knowing about the guest that came to the house. on the way, Jayson talked about how great their shoot was earlier and sodelle said "good thing we finished early, I almost forgot I have to finish my homework and research for tomorrow" she said, then Jayson added "okay, but before that, we should buy some sna-" before he could finish what he's saying his phone rang, he sees his sister calling and he answered " Bakit bunso?" he asked in Filipino why she called, "Kuya Kuya! May bisita sa bahay, bilisan niyo po" his sister said and told him to hurry back home. Jayson speeds up the car on the way while sodelle got startled and worriedly asks "dude why'd you speed up? is there something wrong? What is going on?" Jayson couldn't look at sodelle as his eyes are focused on the roadway home and say "my sister called that we have a guest at home, I don't wanna worry but... I think they're here, I think they found you" he said, sodelle wondered about what he said, then she suddenly realizes and sighed. little did she know that her peace is starting to fade, "they finally found me" she murmured.

They arrived Jayson stopped the car and went out immediately and rushes towards the house, as soon as he opened the door he sees four men talking to his father, while the other three stood and drank some coffee, the seven guests looked at Jayson and his father looked back and said "andito ka na pala anak, may bisita tayo, pumasok ka na halika dito" he calls him inside the living room, and a man from one of the guests stand and walks up to Jayson, he raises his arm and offers a handshake "you must be Jayson Films? my little sister's photographer on her sixteenth birthday. Oh where are my manners, I'm Doc, well sodelle calls me that" he said, Jayson, refused to give him a handshake and asked as if he's about to blow up "do you mind telling me why are you here? after what she's been through?" he asked furiously. Doc didn't say anything, all he did was a smirk, they both turned the atmosphere so quiet and dull, but then sodelle came inside and separated Jayson from Doc and said "enough! Please, not like this, I am in no mood have this godforsaken controversy... Please brother! enough is enough."

Everything calmed down and Jayson's parents got worried hearing the commotion from outside. It seemed that Sodelle's peaceful days are over.
