"You look tired and lazy. I think you're suffering from lack of vitamin me?" ~X~ Three words are enough to describe the playboy billionaire Alexis 'X' Montemayor who owns the very successful Club inside and outside the country. Hot. Dangerous. And oozing with sex appeal. He believed that he would never find the right woman for him despite having a random geisha in his very own Club-V. Not until a woman named Minzireth Paje entered his room and asked him if she is hired or not in the middle of what he called 'play time'.

Not until her playboy boss, Alexis Montemayor demands her to do her assigned job. And that was to spice his night as his sex-retary. What if she found out what was her playboy boss's dark secret? Would she be able to fulfill her duty? Or resigned, and accept the fact that she is not qualified enough to be one of his sex-retary?

After being reborn, I'm taken back to the day I confessed my love for my childhood friend. In my past life, I had to plead and beg before he begrudgingly agreed to marry me. "You look pathetic when you beg me for anything, Annabelle." That was what Hayden Gulman always said to me. He was so cold to me that he even canceled the part where we read our vows to each other during the wedding. When I was eight months pregnant, he took a photo of my belly covered in stretch marks. Then, he complained to his true love about the unhappiness he faced after marrying me. When I went into a difficult labor due to my agitation, he and his true love were on vacation. At that moment, my heart finally died. It turned out my one-woman show couldn't be considered love at all. Now that I've been reborn, I smile when I see the disdainful look in his eyes. I say, "We have nothing to do with each other from this moment on. I only wish to be happy."

(SPG WARNING. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!) Nasubukan mo na bang pumasok sa isang situationship or so-called fùck buddies? “Masarap ba?” tanong ni Eros kay Mayella, habang dahan-dahan na ibinabaon ang mahaba nitong sandata sa kaloob looban ni Mayella na hindi na alam kung papaaano pepwesto. “Mm, b-bilisan mo pa Eros.” Dahil sa winika ni Mayella ay mas binilisan ni Eros ang galaw sa ibabaw ni Mayella.

Kayang kaya,” usal ni Eros at mabilis na ibinaon ang sandata niya sa ikawalong pagkakataon.
