Lahat ng Kabanata ng Refusing to be Owned: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

In the bustling city of Noirville, the capital city of Estria, people from the higher society have gathered in one place to fill their obscene desires and to covet the innocence of the ladies that will be put in front of them to acquire.In the desolate alley of the city's so called red light street, a building stood ten stories high. Sa unang palapag ay matatagpuan ang mga agency ng illegal brokers na smugglers ng kahit ano—even people.Walang nakakaalam kung ano ang mayroon sa natitira pang siyam na palapag ng gusali. No one dares and no one's interested, for anyone who comes in this street are people with certain agendas and are busy taking care if theirselves to even notice what's on their surroundings."15 million from VIP 7" Narinig kong sabi ng emcee kasabay ng mga hindi makapaniwalang usal ng mga taong naroon din sa pagtitipon na 'yon.I can't even recall how the hell I came here. But now I find myself standing in front of a masked crowd while under the limelight.Nakuha na an

Akala ko'y magiging madali lang at matatapos na ang lahat pagkatapos ng mga dalawa o tatlo kong pagtaas ng paddle. Pero sa hindi ko inaasahan, may tarantado pang makikikumpetensya sa 'kin.I looked at the direction of the one who have been raising the bid higher and higher after me. Kinilatis kong mabuti ang pagmumukha nito and I rolled my eyes after realizing who he is. Walang iba kundi si Flavio who's seated on a row lower than mine in this stadium seating.I raised my paddle. "Seventy million", I shouted.Paglingon ko ay nakatingin din sa 'kin ang gago. He smiled, isang ngiting pang-aasar na para bang nagsasabi na hindi siya titigil sa pakikipag-agawan.Flavio Devereaux–Aubert, in short, Flavio. He's the first son of my mom's older brother, and that being said, he is my first cousin. Dahil magka-edad lang kami, my mom and uncle brought us together since we were kids para maging malapit kami sa isa't isa. But contrary to what they initially intended, we ended up being each other's ne

Napadaing ako ng marahas niya akong isinandal sa pader. He pinned me on the wall and pressed his lips on mine. Nang maghiwalay ang aming mga labi, tumingin ang mapupungay niyang mga mata sa akin."Did I hurt you?" He roughly asked. Habol niya ang hininga habang nakapukol ang tingin sa'kin.I gently shook my head. He then smiled, and pressed his lips on mine again.Naglalaban ang dila namin sa loob ng aming bibig. His mouth is so warm and sweet. Para akong tinututunaw ng init niya. Hindi nagtagal ay maramdaman ko na rin ang pag-iinit ng aking katawan. My body is against him, I can feel his hardness in soft skin. Hindi ko mapigilan ang pag-ungol habang naglalakbay ang kanyang dila sa mga sulok ng aking bibig.Hindi ko na matandaan kung paano ako napunta sa sitwasyong ito. Pumunta lang naman ako dito sa Paradis para makipagkita kay Owen. But this unknown guy suddenly came to me.He looked wasted ng mabunggo niya ako sa may hagdan. His eyelids were dropping, he looked high on drugs. And th

Dahan dahan kong ibinuka ang aking mga mata at nagising sa isang 'di pamilyar na kisame. Bumangon ako at napagtantong sa isang couch pala ako nakatulog. Inilibot ko ang tingin sa loob ng maliit na kwarto at bigla akong napayuko ng maramdaman ang pumipintig na sakit sa noo ko.When I lowered my hand from my forehead, I saw several scratches on wrist and just like a movie, everything that happened last night played in my brain.Nagmadali akong bumangon at sinuot ang pantalon at white long sleeve ko na nakalapag sa sahig. I searched for my phone and found it quickly after I heard it rang. It was Jomer."Sir asan po kayo?" Bungad agad nito"Pick me up here at Paradis." Nanghihina kong sagot."Ayos lang po ba kayo sir?" Nag-aalalang tanong ng nasa kabilang linya ng mapansin nito na may kakaiba sa boses ko."I'm fine, don't worry. Just hurry up." Saad ko at pinutol na ang linya.While waiting for Jomer, I tried my best to recall what she looked like. But to no avail, all I can remember wa

Besides being called as a cold-eyed man, it is also widely known that he is a womanizer. Rumors have it that he never slept twice with the same woman. On that note, why was he looking for me, a woman whom he already slept with?Umalis na ang sundalo ngunit nang makalayo na ito'y nakita kong lumingon ito upang tingnan uli sina Asteria at Zeke. He can feel that something is off about the pair pero napagpasyahan niyang 'wag ng makialam pa lalo na't isang Zeke Devereaux ang kasama ng babae.Nang makalayo ng ilang hakbang sa lalaki, Asteria siezed this chance to run away from him."Wait!" Habol ni Zeke."Bwesit, bwesit, bwesit talaga!" Usal ni Asteria habang matuling tumatakbo.She had waisted ten minutes of her time there and there's a high chance now that she might miss her target.Sumuot si Asteria sa grupo ng mga tao at tuluyang naglaho sa paningin ni Zeke. Nang marating ni Zeke ang gitna ng dance floor ay hindi na niya nakita maging anino man lang ng babae."Damn it!" Nagbuga siya ng h
