At first, Adolphus sees her as nothing more than a submissive slave, but as the nights pass, an unexpected transformation takes place within him.

How deep has Shirley dug into Adolphus's heart and how far has Adolphus fallen for Shirley?

May asawa na si Ralia, pero pakiramdam niya, parang wala rin. Bakit? Uuwi lang kasi ang asawa niya para matulog sa bahay, kumain at pagkatapos, wala na puro work na lang ang importante rito. Simula nung malaglag ang first baby nila, parang nawalan ng gana ito sa kaniya. Sinisisi si Ralia ng asawa niya dahil pabaya raw ito at walang kuwentang ina at asawa. Dahil sa pagiging cold ng asawa ni Ralia, nakagawa tuloy siya ng maling desisyon. Pumatol at sinamahan niya sa kama si Aleron—bestfriend ng asawa niya. Matagal na niya kasing pansin na parang trip siya nito. Matagal na rin siya nitong nilalandi, iniiwasan lang niya dahil may asawa na siya. At dahil napuno na siya at nanlamig na rin sa totoong asawa niya, nademonyo na siyang pumatol dito, hindi lang isang beses kundi maraming beses pa. Natuklasan pa niya na allergy si Aleron sa mga spicy food. Na kapag kumain siya ng kahit anong maanghang na pagkain, ganado at talaga namang naglilibög ng husto si Aleron. Kapag ganoon, mas lalo itong wild sa kama, bagay na lalong kinakaligaya ni Ralia sa kaniya. Hanggang isang araw, nalaman ni Ralia na nabuntis siya, hindi ng asawa niya kundi ni Aleron na kabit niya. Sinong pipiliin niya—asawa niyang napaka-cold sa kaniya at sinisisi sa pagkawala ng first baby nila o si Aleron na sobrang sarap sa kama, mahal na mahal siya at binibigay ang lahat ng gusto niya?

At the company team-building event, I got called out by my colleague Samantha Rowler for not removing my price tag—she accused me of being a "freebie chaser." "Oh wow, Carla, you drive a BMW 5 Series. Are you seriously planning to return your clothes within seven days too?" she sneered. I tucked the tag back in and ignored her snide remark. But after the event, as soon as I got home, my phone started blowing up. My chat apps were going insane. A friend had sent me a link: [Luxury-Car Executive Turns Out to Be a Return Addict!] Someone had filmed me leaving the price tag on and posted it to a short-video platform. I opened the comment section and was met with a barrage of insults. [Can't afford to live, huh? Tag warrior.] [Is this car a sugar-daddy gift? Those who know, know.] [OMG, does this woman have some kind of illness? Which brand is this so I can avoid it!] I immediately knew Samantha was behind it. I messaged her to delete the video. Instead, the next second, she blocked me—and pinned a comment to the top of the thread: [You can know a person's face but never their heart!] I was about to post a statement to clarify, my finger hovering over the send button, when I noticed the video's likes had already shot past ten thousand. I laughed. If they wanted a scene, fine—let's make it bigger. I quickly posted a new update: [The outfit is really nice. I'll wear it again next time.] The netizens erupted. The insults doubled, the heat skyrocketed, and the post shot straight to number one trending. I just put my phone down and went to sleep.

“S-Sir, hin–” Hindi ko na naituloy pa ang aking sasabihin sa konting pagkakataon na nakuha ko. Nahirapan na akong makakawala sa kanya at higit sa lahat, mukhang may aphrodisiac ang alak na nainom ko dahil sa kakaibang init na ang bumabalot sa katawan ko. Ano ba itong nangyayari, bakit ba ako nagtiwala sa demonyong manager namin na yon! “Aah…” ungol ko ng maramdaman kong sapuhin na ng lalaki ang isa kong dibdib habang panay ang halik niya sa leeg ko papunta sa aking tenga. “Fuck, ang sarap lamasin ng suso mo. Tell me, may iba pa bang nakahawak nito bukod sa akin?” Bakit kailangan pa niyang magtanong? Hindi ba niya alam na dahil doon ay tila mas lalo pang nag-iinit ang katawan ko? “May iba na bang lumamas nito?” tanong niya sabay pisil at dahil dama ko na ang init ng palas niya sa balat ko ay narealize ko na nailusot na niya sa loob ng uniform ko ang kamay niya. Mas lalong nakakabaliw ang pakiramdam tuloy. “W-wala, i-ikaw ang una.” Nababaliw na yata ako dahil talagang sinagot ko pa. Baliw na nga yata talaga ako!
