"Should I take off my clothes now?" she added while staring at me from head to toe. Shit. Why would she ask that in front of me? Wasn't taking off her clothes my job like I always do to the rest of my customers? "No. Just put them on, please." I respectfully retorted before I slid to the bed. Put my backpack on the floor and applied a bit of my wolf's aggression rushing at her. Before I jumped on the bed, I shortly took off my clothes until nothing was left but my undies. "Wait." She quickly muttered partly mixed with regrets. To my surprise, she moved her face and pushed my chest a few inches away from her. "Why?" could not help but ask. "Wasn't this what I am here for? To please you?" I said in an embarrassing tone. It was at this moment I sensed her uncomfortable and regretful expression. I did not come here to get embarrassed. My job was to please her. Unless there was something Joseph forgot to inform me. Never expected this to happen. "No... no! It's just…" she suddenly dropped her gaze from me. "It's just. I'm still a virgin. Please, don't get mad at me." I don't know if it was a perfect opportunity for me to burst out laughing when she almost got me on that note. A virgin wanted to have sex with me. Who on earth would sell her virginity to a person wearing a black facemask?

I used to be the most promising composer of my generation. But while I was working on my latest piece, my husband Charles Lambert's childhood friend destroyed everything I had. She slashed my face, stole my compositions, and set fire to my house—leaving me to burn alive alongside the kitten I'd just adopted. Then, as if my death were just a spark for her success, she posted my compositions online, claiming I'd plagiarized her. And people believed her. Everyone did. Strangers on the internet sneered and spat my name, and my own husband, Charles, chose to believe her over me. Even the International Musical Society rescinded my award and handed it to her without a second thought. My students, who once followed me loyally, were now fawning over her. I became the laughingstock of the entire internet—mocked, discredited, erased. It wasn't until a week later, when someone stumbled upon the charred remains of my lakeside studio, that they found what was left of me.

Ang misyon lang ni Solenn nung una ay ang akitin ang batang bilyonaryo kaya ito nagtrabaho bilang isang sekretarya sa Walton Corporation. "Anong ibig sabihin nito?" Galit na galit at kunot noo na pagtatanong ng chairman sa harap nila Solenn at Marcus habang dumausdos sa lamesa ang mga stolen shot na mga litrato nilang dalawa na magkasama. "May relasyon kayo? Halos mapatid ang litid ng matanda sa loob ng meeting room na yon. "Mauubusan tayo ng investors sa ginagawa mong kahihiyan?" Hasik pa ng chairman matapos nitong pukpukin ang lamesa na nasa harapan. Nakaramdam ng awa si Solenn sa bilyonaryong boss nya na katabi. Alam nyang wala siyang karapatang maramdaman yon sa lalaki dahil kabahagi siya ng plano at bayad siya para dito. Nakita nyang halos hindi maipinta ang mukha ng binata sa harap ng kanyang lolo. Tumikhim lang si Marcus ng walang kakurap kurap, inayos ang sarili sa pagkakaupo. Itinaas ang ulo mula sa pagkakayuko at hinarap ang chairman. "Solenn!" Buong loob na pagtawag nya sa sekretarya. "Sir?" Tila maamong tupang pagtugon ni Solenn.Walang halos makalabas na boses mula sa kanya. "Ikansel mo lahat ng commitment ko this week," at mataman itong tinitigan ang dalaga sa harap ng matandang lalaki. "Pakakasalan kita, bukas na bukas din." "Ha?" Gulat na gulat na pagtatanong ni Solenn. Nanatili siyang nakatulala sa narinig. Tumayo ng dahan dahan ang binata , naglakad ng mabilis at hinawakan ang door knob ng conference room. "Iuuwi na rin kita sa condo!" Ani ni Marcus bago lumabas ng pinto. Ano daw? Hindi makapaniwala si Soleen sa narinig. Napahawak ang dalaga sa sariling dibdib at nag unahang umagos ang mga luha sa kanyang pisngi na kanina pa nya pilit na pinipigilan. Ano na ang gagawin nya? Gulong gulo siya napahawak sa ulo. Pano na? Pagtatanong pa nya sa sarili.

Being a mute used to be simple before all the craziness started. I just can't talk and that's who I am. Mum has learned to accept that and I guess so have I. Everything was just fine in my high school in Shanghai. I had finally made it to year twelve and even though I was in China, I was actually being treated as a human being despite my disability. Things were definitely not perfect but I would give anything to go back to that, like it was before. I heard my first voice that year, right at the beginning of year 12. I didn’t really have any real friends, but I was used to it and before the voices started, I was fine with that. But it all changed when I first heard them. The voices inside their heads started then and my life was never the same. They weren't just thinking about school or they girls or guys they were into, no they were thinking about doing things, doing horrible things to each other and I was the only one that knew how messed up they really were.
