PINIPILIT AKO NG MAYAMANG LALAKING I-BABYSIT ANG ANAK NIYA “1 million.” Masama akong tumingin. “Hindi ako mahirap! Tingin mo sakin, mukhang pera?!” “3 million.” “Kahit lakihan mo pa ang sahod, ayoko.” “10 million. Just take care of my child.” Sampung milyon?! “Yung anak lang? ’Yung tatay hindi kasama? Sabihin mo lang, kaya naman kitang alagaan kahit habang buhay pa.”

Makakaya mo bang bigyan ng pagkakataon ang taong naging dahilan kung bakit ka nasaktan at kung bakit nawala ang iyong tiwala?

"I want to make you pregnant, Delaney. I need a child. An heir. If you bear my child, you won't have to worry about financial issues ever again. Isang kapalit lang ang hinihingi ko, Delaney." Lark Fletcher has a rule: never fuck the same woman twice. But when he met Delaney Deo at a nightclub and shared a one-night stand, Lark found himself breaking his own rule. He couldn't stop thinking about how she made him want more. And the same night, Delaney was in a desperate situation and that led him to steal money from Lark. He is the type of person who doesn't let go of those who did him wrong unpunished. He demands repayment for the theft in ways Delaney never imagined yet she couldn't ever refuse: and that is to bear a child for Lark.

Tahimik ang mansyon. Tahimik… maliban sa mahinang iyak ni Princess sa bisig ko—isang buwang gulang, walang alam, walang kasalanan. Pero siya ang unang nasaktan sa lahat ng ‘to. Siya ang naiipit sa pagitan ng dalawang taong hindi na alam kung paano magmahal nang sabay. Nakaluhod ako sa harap ni Elise. Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa laylayan ng bestida niya, parang batang takot na maiwan sa dilim. Nanginginig ang labi ko, pinipigilan ang mga luhang ayaw na sanang lumabas—pero hindi ko na kayang kontrolin. “Please, Elise…” garalgal kong pakiusap. “’Wag mo kaming iwan. Hindi ko alam kung paano palalakihin si Princess nang wala ka. Hindi ko alam kung paano mamuhay kung wala kayo…” Pero wala. Wala siyang emosyon. Wala siyang luha. Matigas ang titig niya, parang ako pa ang mali. Bitbit niya ang maleta niya—hindi lang punô ng damit, kundi punô ng lahat ng alaala namin. Lahat ng pangarap. Lahat ng ‘akala ko tayo.’ “Hindi ko ‘to pinlano, Levi,” mahina niyang sagot. “Pero kailangan kong piliin ang sarili ko. Pagod na akong umasa. Pagod na akong maging pangalawa sa trabaho mo, sa mundo mo. Hindi ko kayang maging ina habang ako mismo’y hindi buo.” Gumuho ako. Literal. Napayuko ako habang yakap ko si Princess, habang nararamdaman ko ang init ng iyak niya sa dibdib ko. Halik ako nang halik sa noo niya, para bang kaya kong takpan ng pagmamahal ang kawalan ng ina niya. “Anak mo ‘to, Elise. Anak natin…” pabulong kong daing. “Kung hindi mo na ako kayang mahalin… kahit siya na lang. Kahit siya. ‘Wag mong iwan ang anak mo…” Pero wala. Ni hindi siya lumapit. Ni hindi siya tumingin. Tumalikod siya, dala ang katahimikang mas malakas pa sa kahit anong sigaw ng pagtanggi. "Ayoko na" mahina niyang sabi at hinila ang maleta palabas ng mansion.

BLURB "Anthony! You promised my dad you'd stay with me forever! You owe your life to him because you have his kidney, and now you're hooking up with my best friend?" I yelled, feeling like my heart was being ripped apart. "Ashley! You're my best friend! How could you do this?" I shouted, seething with anger.
