Nagpakasal si Cordelia Jenner sa isang sanggano kapalit ng kapatid niya at namuhay siya ng mahirap habangbihay… O 'di nga ba? Sa isang iglap, ang asawa niya ay naging isang lihim na bilyonaryo na may taglay na kapangyarihan at impluwensya… Imposible 'yun! Tumakbo si Cordelia pabalik sa kanilang munting bahay at papunta sa mga bisig ng kanyang asawa. "Sinasabi nila na ikaw daw si Mr. Hamerton. Totoo ba 'yun?" Hinaplos ng lalaki ang kanyang buhok. "Kamukha ko lang yung lalaking 'yun." Sumimangot si Cordelia. "Nakakainis yung lalaking 'yun. Pinipilit niya na ako ang asawa niya. Bugbugin mo siya!" Kinabukasan, ang Mr. Hamerton na 'yun ay ngumiti at nagpakita sa publiko—bugbog at sugatan. "Mr. Hamerton, anong nangyari?" Ngumisi ang lalaki. "Nagkatotoo ang hiling ng asawa ko. Kailangan kong pangatawanan 'to."

"Doesn't it bother you?" I blurted out right there and then, having been asking myself that question since the night we slept together. I was curious, but I'd been obviously avoiding him. "What? That you're the heir to the Siren-" "That I'm trans," I said. I could care less about what he think of me being a Sirenio by blood. "T-That I'm a trans...man," "Does it bother you that I'm bisexual?" he asked me. I hadn't expected that response. Not when I'm having mixed feelings about all of this. "Does it?" he probed, closing what's left of the space between. His scent and warmth envelopes me as I'm caged between him and the sink. I shook my head. "Use your words, Miles," he said running his finger over my bottom lip. I shuddered at the sensation it brought to my body. "You were so good with those, that night," I sucked in a sharp breath. I looked away, and his touch disappeared immediately. "It was a mistake," I whispered, my heart racing. "What...happened was a-" "I don't do mistakes, Miles," Mr Stark said guiding my eyes back to his. "You should know that by now," I let out a shaky breath when his thumb found my bottom lip again. "Does it bother you that I want to fuck you right now?"

He smirked, knowing he was on the winning side. "So it's a done deal for three months?" He raised his eyebrows, putting his hand forth for a handshake. I looked at the long fingers and perfectly aligned nails and then at his patient face. Sighing to myself I my own hand into his and ignored the tingles that flowed through every nerve as his fingers curled around my hand and shook it lightly. "Yeah three months." "Goodnight then." He winked, removing his hand from mine and turned to walk away. "Hey wait!" I called out, suddenly remembering something. "You don't have my number." "What makes you think that? I have my ways Smith." And with one last wink I saw him take a turn and disappear from my sight. I let out a long breath, leaning on the nearby wall. Looks like I just made a deal with the Devil. * A sarcastic girl, a cocky guy.
