Serena’s POV Matagal kong inakalang hawak lang ako ng kontrata—isang papel na pumirmi sa buhay ko, sa katawan ko, at sa kalayaan ko. Pero ngayong nakahiga ako sa tabi ni Damien, natatakpan ng init ng balat niya ang lahat ng sugat sa puso ko, alam kong mali ako. Hindi na kontrata ang nagbubuklod sa amin. Hindi na utang. Hindi na desperasyon. Ako mismo ang pumili sa kanya. Dahan-dahan niyang hinila ang kumot pababa, inilantad ang bawat bahagi ng katawan kong kanina pa nanginginig, hindi dahil sa takot kundi dahil sa pananabik. Mainit ang hininga niya sa leeg ko, at ang bawat halik na inilapat niya ay parang panata na hindi na niya ako bibitawan. “Wala nang papel na nagdidikta sa’yo, Serena,” bulong niya habang pinapadaanan ng labi ang balikat ko. “Ako na ang pipiliin mo. Ako na ang kailangan mo.” Napapikit ako, hinayaan ang katawan kong lunurin ng bawat haplos niya. Hindi na ito transaksyon. Hindi na ito kasunduan. Ito ay kagustuhan naming pareho. Nagtagpo ang mga labi namin, mas mariin, mas buo—parang wala nang bukas. Ang bawat paghinga niya ay naging akin, ang bawat ungol ko ay naging kanya. Hanggang sa wala nang natira kundi ang mga katawan naming nag-uusap, nagsasanib, nagtatakda ng bagong simula. At sa gitna ng dilim ng kwarto, habang pareho kaming nilalamon ng init at ng pagmamahal, alam kong wala nang atrasan. Ako si Serena Villareal. Hindi na bilang alipin ng kontrata, kundi bilang babaeng kusang nagpa-angkin, kusang nagmahal, at kusang nagpasakop—sa lalaking siya ring nagpalaya sa akin.

Anibersaryo ng kasal namin nang mag-post ang high school sweetheart ng asawa ko ng sonogram picture sa kanyang social media, na may caption na public thank-you sa asawa ko: [Salamat sa lalaking nandiyan para sa akin sa loob ng sampung taon, at sa pagbibigay sa akin ng anak.] Umikot ang kwarto, at namuo ang galit sa akin habang mabilis akong nagkomento: [So, proud ka sa pagiging homewrecker?] Halos kaagad, tumawag ang asawa ko, puno ng galit ang boses. "Paano mo nagawa na mag isip ng nakakasuklam na bagay? Ang ginawa ko lang ay tulungan siya sa IVF, natupad ang pangarap niyang maging single mom.” "At oo nga pala, kailangan lang ni Ruby ng isang subok para mabuntis, habang ikaw ay may tatlong round ng walang resulta. Walang kwenta ang katawan mo!" Tatlong araw lang ang nakalipas, sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta siya sa ibang bansa para sa negosyo—hindi pinapansin ang aking mga tawag at mensahe sa buong panahon. Akala ko busy lang siya. Gayunpaman, sa huli ay kasama niya pala si Ruby, dumadalo sa prenatal checkup nito. Makalipas ang kalahating oras, muling nag-post si Ruby, na ipinakita ang isang mesa na puno ng masasarap na pagkain. [Nagsawa ako sa French food, kaya ginawa ni Ash ang lahat ng paborito kong pagkain. The best talaga siya!] Napatitig ako sa pregnancy test sa kamay ko, ang saya na naramdaman ko kanina, ngayon ay tuluyan ng nawala. Matapos ang walong taong pag-ibig at anim na taon ng paglunok ng aking pride para lang manatiling buhay ang kasal, sa wakas ay handa na akong bumitaw.

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.
