Di tahun kedua pernikahan kami, Chris Dirja membawa seorang gadis dari luar ke rumah. Ketika pandangannya bertemu denganku, Chris tersenyum santai sambil berujar, "Velia, mungkin kamu juga sebaiknya mencobanya. Orang muda yang penuh energi memang berbeda." Aku tahu dia hanya mengujiku, karena dia memang suka menyiksa serta mempermainkanku. Namun, yang tidak dia ketahui adalah kali ini hatiku benar-benar tergerak. Kemudian, Chris menatap bekas cakaran yang baru di pinggang si "orang muda" itu. Dia pun bertanya dengan mata memerah, "Velia, siapa yang memberimu keberanian untuk benar-benar melakukannya?"

"Lima belas ribu, Mas? Yang benar saja. Besok kamu tahu kan, kalau ibuku mau datang?" Kedua alis Aira naik ke atas dengan mata melebar.  "Kenapa? Apa ada yang salah? Terus ... kalau orang tuamu datang, kita mau menyambut seperti ratu, menyediakan ikan, daging, udang, cumi, begitu? Kita hidup harus hemat. Nggak peduli siapa yang datang. Bukankah orang kampung juga menyambut tamu dengan hidangan seadanya?"

"Are you ready to sin?" Her voice, delicate yet mischievous, hangs in the air, a playful grin adorning her beautiful, pouty lips. Impatiently, he responds, "I feel like an animal now. And animals don't know they can sin, do they?" Her laughter fills the room as she teases him further, "Can I pet you? Tie a leash around your neck and claim you're mine?" In response, he growls, "You are enough to bring a decent man to his knees and make him commit unspeakable sins." The tension between them crackles with desire and a hint of danger, and their words are laden with unspoken implications.

"Ibibigay ko sa inyo ang hustisya na nararapat para sa inyo, ipinapangako ko iyan, ang kamatayan ninyo ang paghuhugutan ko ng lakas, para hanapin ang mga salarin na naging sanhi ng inyong kamatayan," lumuluhang sambit ni Scarlet sa harapan ng puntod ng kanyang pamilya, sa bawat salita na binitawan niya ay tila isang pangako para sa kanyang pamilya na pinaslang ng walang kalaban-laban. Galit at pagkasuklam ang nasa puso ng dalaga, para sa mga taong gumawa noon sa kanila. Kaya sa pagpunta niya sa Maynila ay nakilala niya si Lance Dela Piña na isang negosyante.

 « Mlle Leroy, êtes-vous certaine de vouloir supprimer toutes vos informations personnelles ? Une fois la procédure terminée, vous cesserez d’exister administrativement, et plus personne ne pourra vous retrouver. » Luna est restée silencieuse un instant, puis a hoché fermement la tête. « Oui, je veux que personne ne puisse jamais me retrouver. » À l’autre bout du fil, une certaine surprise s’est fait sentir, mais la réponse ne s’est pas tardée à arriver : « D’accord, Mlle Leroy. Les démarches devraient être finalisées dans un délai de deux semaines. Merci de patienter. »
