MasukThe words echoed, a promise she wore like a blindfold. “Give me a chance to prove to you that love is beautiful.” Kensington Darley had believed him. At twenty-six, she was the beautiful, trusting daughter of a gilded cage, and she had willingly traded her own life’s map for the one drawn by her boyfriend. His choices became her destiny; his whispered needs, her sacred law. Until the moment his love demanded her degradation. He didn't ask her to empty a savings account. He didn't ask her to sell the family jewels. He asked for her body, for her dignity, to be sold piece by devastating piece. The debt. It was a cold, unforgiving beast, and the only currency powerful enough to silence it was Kensington's unwilling performance in front of a camera. Every forced smile, every feigned moan, was a knife-edge decision she made in the name of love. She despised the spotlights, the sterile sets, the shame that clung to her like cheap perfume—but she did it. Because she loved him. But as she watches the man she is saving—the man who allowed her to be lost—a single, poisonous question begins to bloom in the darkness of her despair: Does he love her back? If the answer is no, what becomes of a woman who has sacrificed everything for a lie? And how will Kensington Darley ever learn to trust a single word, let alone love, again?

He held her chin and pressed tightly till her teeth clattered against each other. “The hide and seek is over. Time for business girlie," He chuckled dubiously. His eyes glowed mischievously. “Now get up," He squeezed tightly. Kensington winced and rose to her feet. There were four other men with him. He gestured to open the door. He pushed her roughly into the car and walked around the car. He opened the other side of the car and got in. The driver started the engine and rode out of the beach. Kensington sat in the car wearing just the bikini. Her heart raced. Her hands began to tremble. She mumbled silent prayers, praying for Alejandro to come find her. “Where are you taking me to?" She asked with a shaky voice. She looked up to him. He offered her a smirk that made shivers run down her spine. “It's a big surprise, my love," He caressed her chin. She hit his
“Yes, I can." She found it. It glowed radiantly like the moon. It was reassuring and strong, something she could hold on to. “Thank you, Alejandro." He claimed her lips and kissed her right there. Kensington lost her senses. All she could feel around her was his presence, his touch and scent. He held her like a delicate material. He was careful as he held the back of her neck while reveling the taste of her lips. It tasted like strawberry. He couldn't get enough of her lips. He wanted more but he had to stop himself. " I can't get enough of you, Kenzie.” She smiled at him. He mirrored her smile. He carried her in his arms and led her to his car. He placed her in his car. Scouted around the car and drove her back to her home. As soon as she got home, her phone began to ring. She bade Alejandro goodbye and entered the house. It was a call from Sander. "Kenzie, Where are you?” She sounded distressed. "Sander, Is everything okay?” "Where are you?” She persisted worriedl
Alejandro wasn't expecting the question. His lips hung apart. He can't tell how having a mother felt. He lost touch with that feeling when his mother began to live recklessly. When it was just him, his mother and grandfather, he loved it. It felt like family. After his grandfather's death, his mother became reckless. She took over the family's business and began to live carelessly. Alejandro was influenced by her lifestyle. He followed her step but soon began to realize that life wasn't rewarding and soon he quitted."It's wonderful. Mothers are a safe haven," He explained without noticing the tiny tears dripping down her eyes.“I didn't feel that. I never had a safe haven." Alejandro was touched. His heart melted with pity and love.“I am your safe haven," Alejandro stretched his hands to her.“You are safe with me, Kenzie," He kissed the back of her hands. She felt flutters and chuckled, more tears poured down her eyes, “Thank you. For choosing me even in my worst." Aleja
“I love him, Laura. So stop speaking ill of him,”Kensington warned. "Excuse me,” She turned to her room. She slammed the door shut and sat on the bed fuming with anger. **** Alejandro was surprised to meet his uncle in his house. "Why are you here?” Alejandro stripped off his jacket, he flung it on the couch and entered the kitchen. "Why weren't you at work?” Javier returned, tapping his fingers gently on the couch. Alejandro chuckled, " Did you think it was an empty threat?” "Threat? Oh, you thought I took that as a threat." “Then why are you here?" Alejandro returned the question. Javier broke into a chuckle. “Kids grow quickly. Alejandro, I took you in when you fled from your mother. You don't have the right to question my actions?" “If your actions seem to affect the ones dear to my heart, then I think I have the right to question you." Javier stared intensely at the back of Javier's head. He was returning witty answers. Alejandro has been a reliable hand
She retracted her hands quickly when she felt electric sparks vibrate through her hands. His words made her insides churn. She held her hands close to her chest and slowly moved away from him. “Hey, don't do that. Don't go away." Alejandro went after her. He held her arms and embraced her gent
The entire house has been quiet as though a bucket of ice water had been poured over it. Kensington sat on the couch directly opposite the dining room where Laura sat eating absentmindedly. It felt as though she could read her thoughts. Laura has been in a state of shock since she came across the
Tears welled up her eyes. Kensington flinched. "The first man I trusted broke my trust and left for another woman…. My father," Her voice fell low, she turned her gaze to the floor. Kensington could feel the hurt emanating from her even by sitting right next to her. “My father broke me. He pr
