"Buy me, Mr. Gabriel Esguerra and I will do everything for you basta bayaran mo ako katumbas ng utang ng pamilya ko kay Oliver," buong tapang na sabi ni Gianna. Wala na siyang ibang choice kung 'di lunukin ang pride at kahihiyan, maisalba lamang ang kaniyang pamilya mula sa pagkakalugmok. Seryoso siyang tinitigan ni Gabriel na tila ba binabasa siya pero walang panghuhusga sa mga mata nito. "Sigurado ka ba sa sinabi mo, Gianna?" "I-I don't have a choice, Gabriel at kung may kaya akong gawin for my family, I'm willing to do it." Nangingilid na ang luha sa kaniyang mga mata dahil kahit siya'y naaawa sa sarili. "Five millions is really a huge amount of money and do you think, papayag akong ikaw lang ang kabayaran niyon?" "H-hindi pa ba ako sapat?"

I was out for a long time. My eyes could not adjust easily and I felt a lot of pain throughout my whole body. I didn't know what was happening but surely I was somewhere in the dark. "That's ok, now sleep. Tomorrow you will feel better," someone woman voice said. Then I heard another male voice saying, "what has gotten into you? Now we are in deep shit." I couldn't listen to the conversation any longer as I have lost conciousness again. I groaned in agony as I felt myself waking again. I opened my eyes slowly but I could only see blurred. I noticed I had better sense of smell and I could hear better too. What's going on?I could hear a conversation that was outside the room I was locked in. "Please, do not tell anyone. It must have been the haze. It felt stronger then usual this time and I couldn't hold myself any longer. He was way too hot and I felt an unusual feeling like I was out of control." That was definitely Mei, but whom was she talking to? Also, what the hell is she? I couldn't forget last night's images. Fangs, shadows, and, blue eyes glowing at me, no, but then the second time they looked Red. Yes. I remember that. I was not going crazy.

"You're mine, cara mia. All of you…" Stephan whispered huskily into my ear. I could feel the warmth of his breath against my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I could smell the faint scent of his cologne, mixed with the heady aroma of sweat and desire. His large, strong hands were wrapped around my body, one of them trailing slowly down my thigh. I felt completely consumed by him, unable to escape the heat of his touch. My heart was pounding… “But I have a fiance." Although I was loving every moment of this, I couldn't bring myself to accept what he laid before me. “And he loves me so much, Stephan. I can't do this to him. I—” His next response left me in bewilderment. “Shssh—” He hushed me, placing a finger across my lips. "I'll pay him off…" •••••••• Even though I knew it was wrong, I felt my heart racing at the thought of him. I was engaged to someone else, a kind and caring college student who had always been there for me. But this man, this powerful and mysterious billionaire, had awoken something in me that I couldn't ignore. I knew that I was playing with fire, and that it could all go up in wild flames. But I was willing to take the risk, because I knew that this was something I had to explore. Every inch of it. I had to find out what lay at the end of this dangerous path

“Mary me, Mr. CEO.” Lakas loob niyang saad na nakapagpasinghap sa mga nakarinig. Nanatiling blangko ang mukha ni Aiden at nakatitig lang sa empleyado niyang lasing.

Iyan ba ang asset ng hotel na ito kaya marami kayong guest?” lasing niya ng saad. “Bakit, ang gwapo gwapo mo.......Sir?” "Just answer me if you’re gonna marry me, hindi ako aalis hangga’t hindi ka sumasagot.” pamimilit pa rin niya. Bahagya lang namang nakangiti si Aiden. “Yeah, sure. I will marry you.” sagot niya, halos mawalan pa ng balanse ang isang babaeng nakikinig sa kanila dahil sa narinig nilang sagot ng Boss nila. What will happen after that? Paano kung paggising mo kinabukasan ay fiancee ka na ng isang pinakamayamang batang CEO sa bansa dahil sa kalasingan mo?
