I cried inside my room. Claudia’s words continued replaying in my head and although I knew that this marriage with Joaquin would only last for 3 years, I couldn’t help but be scared of what she might do to destroy my already messed up life. I have a lot of secrets and I’m scared that she would find out everything about me. Based on what she said a while ago, she would do everything to make sure I’ll go crawling back to my old life. But I don’t want to go back there anymore. I want to start anew because Joaquin was kind enough to offer me a new life. I don’t want to waste it. I heard someone knocking on the door of my room and I knew that it was Joaquin. He’s finally home but I couldn’t bring myself to see him so I went to my bed and pretended to be asleep. I heard the door opened. Joaquin was walking towards the bed where I was. I felt the bed moved when he sat near the edge. His breathing was heavy but calm. I felt like crying again. Slowly, I felt his cold hand caressed my face l

“Mr. Joaquin Agravante, I’m so delighted to see you again…” Joaquin’s designer entered the room where Joaquin and I were waiting. She shook hands with Joaquin but her eyes were on me, not hiding the disgust that filled them. “Lauren…” Joaquin greeted her back. He moved and blocked her view of me. I watched Joaquin’s back as he talked to the woman who designed our attires for the party tomorrow. “I made the gown for your… uh…” The woman named Lauren couldn’t finish her sentence as she tried to take a peek at me but… “Wife…” Joaquin casually finished the sentence. Lauren chuckled awkwardly. “Yes, uhm… the gown is fully ready. I made sure that the size and measurements were accurate. Your suit is done as well. You can try them on now…” She ushered us to where the fitting room is and I could feel her glaring at me from behind. When we reached the fitting room, Lauren tried to push me inside of one of the cubicles but Joaquin pulled me to him. “I’ll help your… wife… get dressed,

I woke up at the sound of classical music playing from a distance. My head felt like it’s spinning and it hurt so badly. My chest felt heavy and my breathing was unsteady. I opened my eyes and saw that I’m in a hospital room. The walls and ceilings were painted with white and I could smell antiseptic. “You’re awake…” I heard Joaquin beside me so I turned to face him. There was an unfamiliar look in his eyes and I thought that maybe I was just imagining things because they immediately turned back to being distant and cold. “How are you feeling?” he asked, slowly. “Dreadful… kind off,” I smiled faintly. Joaquin sighed and sat beside me on the bed. “You didn’t tell me you have asthma…”I pursed my lips and looked away. “I’m sorry. I haven’t had any episodes until well… today, I guess. So, I assumed that I wouldn’t be needing medication and besides, it’s too expensive,” I said quietly. “I took care of everything already. I paid for everything, too. You don’t have to keep your health

“Who is it?” Joaquin asked, his curiosity was evident. I licked my lips and I saw how his eyes followed the movement of my tongue against my lips. I shifted on my seat because of the weird but familiar feeling his gaze gave me. “My former… employer.” I looked away as I remembered how my employer treated me and the other women working for him. “I know that it was my choice to have that kind of job, but I don’t think it’s my fault for being mistreated just because he and his customers were paying me…” I could feel my lips trembling. Joaquin sighed and immediately moved off his seat. He stood up and went to the seat beside me. He sat down and faced me. I was watching him but I couldn’t calm myself because of the bad memories I had from the past. “Tell me… what did they do?” His voice was hoarse but thick, like he’s stopping himself from snapping. His eyes held too many emotions and I couldn’t understand what all of it meant. I let out a small sigh, trying to calm myself down. R

Slap! My face turned to the side as I received the slap my future mother-in-law gave me as a welcoming gift. I pursed my lips and closed my eyes, bracing myself for another slap when she lifted her hand again, but nothing came. When I blinked to open my eyes, I saw Joaquin—my last client—stopping his mother from slapping me once more as he looked at me with anger filling his eyes. I looked away, but I could still see him—them—from my peripheral vision. “Tita Claudia, stop…” Joaquin’s voice was soft but firm and authoritative. And I only realized it now that Joaquin didn’t call the woman mom. Instead, he called her tita. It meant that the woman named Claudia wasn’t his biological mother. Perhaps a relative… or his father’s second wife… or mistress. I looked at them again. Claudia took her hand back from Joaquin’s hold and stepped back. “I can’t believe you allowed this kind of woman in your penthouse, Joaquin! And what… she pleasured you?” Her voice trembled with disgust whi

I looked at the vastness of the sea beyond the glass-walled room I was in. It was only for a few moments. Taking a deep breath in, I turned my back on the glass wall and made my way out of the room and through the collection of antique vases along the hallway of the penthouse, following the butler in charge. The butler was quiet, so I shut my lips and just looked around me as we ventured through the hallway. The walls were designed like they were built from the Roman era where classical architecture was a common word, at least that’s what the butler said when he noticed that I was looking at the designs of the walls. I couldn’t understand any of that, of course. As I was a mere prostitute with a job to escort one of the prominent bachelors in the business industry where tycoons, businessmen, and entrepreneurs make their way to the top… while I remained at the lowest of low. “You will be meeting Mr. Agravante soon. Just wait for him inside this room,” the butler said in an almost h
