Chap 01

"KEVIN, bro, sorry to wake you up, but can you do me a favor? Can you pick Frey at the pier? She can't come here because she's out of ticket and she's there since last night." It' not that early in the morning, in fact the sun was brightly shining already but he went home last night. It's the peak season of the resort and also at the bar.

Dustin said those things when he answered his call half asleep. Dustin owns the island Cinque Fratelli where the Yuwaku Shima Resort, where his bar and club Brandon's are located. He's like the eldest brother among the Redwood illegitimate children. Even though he's just a few months older than him.

Brandon Redwood, their father, have 10 illegitimate children from different woman when he was on his younger self. He made ten women pregnant and didn't marry them. The funny things is, all of those women have a blood of a Filipina and was from a well off family. Even thought they were from different part of world.

Their father settled down when he met his half-Japanese and half-Filipina wife, and they have five beautiful daughters. So that makes them 15 siblings all in all. And that five legitimate daughters, they call them The Marias. Because their names have Maria on it, literally speaking.

All the Redwood Brothers, the five of them, were now living in the isolated island in La Union, Philippines, that they call Cinque Fratelli Island, which is owned by the Dustin himself. Javier was next and he's a doctor by profession so he manages the clinic in the island. Next is him, who owned the bar and club at the resort. And there is Oscar who manages the hotel and other accommodations in the resort. And their youngest brother is Rafael, who manages his own spa and massage center in the island.

They all decided to stay there five years ago, after their father's burial. And now, Dustin and Javier are getting married days from now.

"Why me?" He asked groggy.

"Javier is also busy preparing for the wedding, Oscar and Rafael went and picked the girls at the airport and they were stock in the traffic."

"Send anyone from the dock." He was already up so he decided to go down and made himself a coffee.

"They don't know who Friday is. And a lot of visitors are coming in now, it's also our peak seaon because it's summer. Wait... bro, are you really avoiding Frey? You know, we all noticed that but you're just ignoring our question. What's your problem with her?"

"I'm not avoiding her. Why would I? Fine, I'll be there in a minute. I just need to take a shower." He gave up.

"Cool. Thanks, bro. Just make it fast because she was there since last night and I'm sure she didn't sleep all night too. She's too shy to call and asked for out help, said it's a bother." That's it and he ended.

He took a deep breath and went back to his room to take a shower. He was so tired last night that he didn't bother taking a bath before sleeping.

Frey was a friend of Dustin from college but also the one of the Executives of Ferdinand Constructions now. It's a company owned by the family of Dustin's mom. All of them met her when Lola Dina, Dustin's grandma, invited them to attend the annual party of the company before. And that was time, Kevin, honestly, was attracted to her.

He was attracted to Frey and even thought of getting to know her, but stop immediately when he found out that she had a long time boyfriend. He doesn't want to be with someone who's already committed, so he distanced himself from her. Every time he saw her, he just can't help but be attracted to her. So, every time they went to have a party with them, he chose to stay away from her. He didn't know that her brother will notice it.

And now, he can't do that anymore. Because they can't just ignore someone in need now, are they? He decided to bring his yacht boat, for her to be there in an instant because as Dustin said, she's there since last night. She even passed by some boats sending in and out of the visitors in the island and they just saluted him.
