Isang gabi ay umuwi na nakainom ng alak si Josh. Nagkamali ito ng kuwarto na pinasukan. Imbis na sa kuwarto nilang dalawa ng girlfriend niya ay sa kuwarto kung nasaan si Arianne ito nakapasok. Akala niya ay ang girlfriend niya ang nakahiga doon ngunit hindi pala. Nakainom rin si Arianne dahil dumalo ito sa birthday party ng isa niyang kaibigan kaya humiga kaagad ito pagkapasok sa kuwarto kung saan siya natutulog habang nandoon sa bahay ni Josh. Bigla na lang niya naimulat ang kanyang mga mata dahil naramdaman niya na may malaki at matipunong katawan na pumatong sa ibabaw niya. Hubo't hubad ito. Her eyes got bigger when she saw who it was—Josh. Itutulak sana niya ito ngunit malakas ito kaya wala siyang nagawa. Nagustuhan naman nga niya ang ginagawa nito sa kanya hanggang sa may nangyari sa kanilang dalawa. Parehas silang dalawa nabigla kinabukasan sa nangyari. They found themselves naked lying on the bed. Ano ang gagawin nila? Paalisin kaya siya ni Josh sa bahay nito dahil sa nangyaring 'yon o hindi? Paano na ang girlfriend niya? Will it be the end of their relationship and the beginning of his fantasies with Arianne the woman he desires for so long?

"No! H'wag Alex! Parang-awa mo na! Nakikiusap ako! Pakawalan mo na 'ko! Palayain mo na ako! Hayaan no na akong makahinga!" "Ahhh! Fuck!" Tumilapon na lamang ako sa kama habang hawak ko ang mukha ko. Isang malakas na sampal ang natanggap ko mula sa asawa ko. Halos dumilim ang paningin ko. Para akong madismaya. My heart thuds painfully in my chest as my tears fall endlessly. Humahagulhol lamang ako sa pag-iyak. Bumubuhos ang mga luha ko. I shook my head terribly. Suddenly my eyes widened. My fears crawled on my throat. "H-Huwag Alex!" As I glowled in fear. As Alex ever did. He's a ruthless husband, a devil husband. Lagi niya akong pinapahirapan at sinasakal. I know he wants to suffer me after all. "No!" It will be worsen. It's fucking hell. Napagapang ako sa kama paatras. Nangangatog ang mga tuhod ko sa takot. I bite my nails. I'm screaming in pain. I shook my head. Everything went dark when Alex closed the door. Gusto kong sumigaw. Gusto kong humingi ng saklolo. Gusto kong tumakbo but I have nothing. Papatayin ako ni Alex kapag ginawa ko 'yon. Paparusahan niya ako. Agad akong naalarma nang makita kong papalapit sa akin si Alex. Nakahawak ito sa kaniyang sinturon. Hinuhubad niya ito mula sa kaniyang pantalon. Nanlilisik ang bawat titig niya sa akin. Kita ko ang paglagok niya. Niyakap ko na lamang ang mga tuhod ko habang nanginginig ang mga ito. Napahikbi ako sa pag-iyak. Walang boses ang lumabas sa aking bibig dahil sa sobrang takot. My lips trembled down. "You will never escaped with me Juliana. If you tried to escape with me? You will die! Hindi ka makakalabas ng buhay sa mansyong ito kapag tinangka mo 'yon! You will only serve your beauty with your master."
