“It’s fine,” the stranger said to Anna. “You can go home and cry over your ex, or you can come with me.” Anna swallowed. Her heart thudded hard in her chest. “I’m not asking for anything you don’t want,” he added. “But if you want to stop thinking about him, I’ll help you do that.” “Okay,” she replied. The stranger moved closer to Anna, slow but sure, closing the space between them. His hand came up, firm and unhurried, gripping her jaw. His fingers were warm, slightly calloused. He tilted her face up, making her look at him. “Are you sure about this?” he asked, voice low and commanding. Anna swallowed, her pulse racing as she replied. “Yes. I want you to fuck me so hard that I forget about him.” *************************************** Anna Hawkins was never meant to fall into the arms of a stranger.

Isang mapagmahal at masunuring anak si Maria Joana Mei or MJ, sa kabila ng karangyaan ng pamilya na kinamulatan niya. Pinalaki siyang magalang at may respeto sa kapwa ngunit nagbago ang lahat ng aksidente niyang naka one night stand ang isang dominanteng lalaki sa bar. Ang pagkikita nila ay nasundan pa ng itinakda itong ipakasal ng kanyang pamilya sa kanya. Paano nila haharapin ang isa't-isa bilang mag-asawa kung araw-araw wala itong ginawa kundi pahirapan at saktan siya? Paano niya hihiwalayan ito, kung labis namang tumututol ang kanyang puso? Handa ba siyang magtiis sa mga kamay nito kahit na walang kasiguraduhang mamahalin din siya nito? Kailan magiging tama ang maling gabi na kanilang ginawa?

Akala ko dati ay masaya maging Private Investigator, na magiging bongga ang buhay mo at makakapag suot ka ng magagarang damit. Pero nagkamali ako dahil gaya ngayon, daig ko pa ang babaeng nagbebenta ng laman sa suot ko para lang makahuli ng mga lalaking may asawa na pero nambababae pa din. Pero dahil isa akong single mom, wala akong magagawa kundi -pagtiyagaan ang trabahong ito para mabuhay kaming mag ina. Nang umupo ako sa mataas na upuan sa bar, I saw him. This hot stranger. Kakaiba ito sa lahat, charming, at parang akala mo lumabas ito sa isang movie at lalapit sayo para mag-pakilala. I can’t resist his charms, wala sa ugali ko ang hindi makapag pigil pero hindi ko kayang labanan ang atraksyon ko sa kanya and it led to a passionate night. Wala akong balak na makita pa siyang muli, pero, mukhang ang tadhana ay may ibang plano para sa amin. He turned out to be my child’s pedia. At nalaman ko ring anak ito ng isa sa mga makapangyarihang tao na isa sa mga iniimbestigahan ko. Everything seemed so fast that it became hot and complicated all at the same time.
