I know na gusto mong mapag-isa dahil tinapalan mo ng pera ang lahat ng nanggugulo sa'yo dito. Hahaha..." Napangisi siya sa humor ng lalaki. "Bakit, gusto mo rin ng pera?" biro niya. Pinagmasdan nya ito. Kahit na lasing na siya nababnaag pa din ang kagwapuhan ng lalaking nagpakilalang si Theo. Actually, napansin na din niya ito kanina pagpasok niya.

Ang malala pa ay nabaliktad ang sitwasyon at siya ang lumalabas na manloloko. Naisumpa niya sa sarili na hindi na muling magmahal at pagbayarin ang dalawang nagwasak sa kaniyang puso. Ngunit nagbago ang kaniyang isip nang mabuo ang isang gabing pagkakamali. At hindi lang isa ang kaniyang iniluwal kundi dalawang cute na mga bata. Bigla siyang natakot sa isiping hindi lang guwapo ang hindi nakilalang ama ng kambal, kundi genius dahil tiyak dito nagmana ang mga anak. "Mommy, don't worry, we can help you to find our father." A five-year-old named, Adrian, said. Pakiramdam ni Shaina ay atakehin siya sa puso sa naging sagot ng bibong anak na lalaki.

I stared down at the contract, a wave of defiance bubbling up in me. I turned back to him, meeting his gaze head-on. "I never asked for your help," I said, "I would've found a way to save my mother on my own. You may think you own me, but I'd rather die than marry you." A slow smile crept across his face, a smug, knowing look that sent a chill down my spine. He knew exactly what I was thinking, as if my resistance only entertained him. "Look at me," he commanded. I reluctantly turned back, locking eyes with him. His face had shifted, his expression darkened, and for the first time, true fury was etched in his eyes. "I’ll count to ten," he said, "If that contract isn’t signed by the time I reach ten, I’ll make the same call I made to pay those bills. Only this time, the instructions will be different. Your mother... your sister…they’ll both be gone." He took a breath, settling back as if the threat were a mere matter of routine. "So… ONE!!" I swallowed hard, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. Could he be bluffing? No, I'd seen him kill before, seen how casually he turned life and death into sports. "FOUR," he counted. My hands started to shake. What could I do? If I signed, I'd be bound to him forever, trapped as his wife. But if I didn’t... my mother and sister’s lives hung in the balance. "SEVEN." I closed my eyes, fighting the panic rising in my chest. He wouldn’t do it, I told myself. He couldn’t be that monstrous. But even as I thought it, the doubt crept in. I wasn’t sure. Then, he hit "TEN" himself
