After I'm abducted, I call my mother, a policewoman, for help. However, she hangs up on me and stays by my adoptive sister's side. "Go to hell if you're so keen on it!" she snaps. I calmly watch as the abductors pluck my nails and torment me until none of my skin is left unharmed. In my past life, my mother actually came to my rescue.

"Buy me, Mr. Gabriel Esguerra and I will do everything for you basta bayaran mo ako katumbas ng utang ng pamilya ko kay Oliver," buong tapang na sabi ni Gianna. Wala na siyang ibang choice kung 'di lunukin ang pride at kahihiyan, maisalba lamang ang kaniyang pamilya mula sa pagkakalugmok. Seryoso siyang tinitigan ni Gabriel na tila ba binabasa siya pero walang panghuhusga sa mga mata nito. "Sigurado ka ba sa sinabi mo, Gianna?" "I-I don't have a choice, Gabriel at kung may kaya akong gawin for my family, I'm willing to do it." Nangingilid na ang luha sa kaniyang mga mata dahil kahit siya'y naaawa sa sarili.
