CLEO'S POV

I sit on the bed, keeping the sheet wrapped around my body. I feel sore all over, especially in between my legs. Matthew has been harsh and rough all through out. He's so wild and arduous, that I passed out of exhaustion after multiple rounds of mind-blowing sex.

I would want to think that what we have is more than a physical attraction, but he's straightforward that he doesn't love me. I don't want to fool myself. I know he's trying but nobody can dictate what a heart should feel. And I am starting to have second thoughts on our relationship, if it's even a relationship. We've been in this sh!tty setup for more than a year, and nothing changed. It's like I'm just being a warm body to supply his needs to appease his lusts.

I want to give up on him. No one in his right mind would stay on something that is not certain. But I can't. It feels like leaving him would shatter me. I became too dependent on him. I just can't lose him.

I convince myself that I am not doing this out of stupidity. I am not doing this because I love him. I am doing this because I get something out of it. My contract in their clothing line is secured. Many versatile actors has been dreaming to enter their company, but not everyone can. Naungusan ko pa ang mga nauna na at sikat na na mga artista sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mukha ng G&S Couture.

Yes. I am not being used. We are using each other. I am benefiting from this. Hindi lang puro sakit ang natatamo ko dito. Mahal ko siya, hindi ko ikakaila. Pero kailangan ko din na gumamit ng utak. Ayokong mapabilang sa mga babae na luluha na lamang sa huli dahil ibinigay ang lahat at walang natamo. Hindi ko man siya makuha, hindi niya man ako mahalin pabalik, at least may magandang career ako.

On the first months, hinayaan ko na puro puso na lamang ang masunod. Dumating pa sa punto na napapabayaan ko na maging ang trabaho. Kahit may importanteng taping o photoshoot, tatakbo ako sa tabi niya kapag tinawag niya ako.

And it's a good thing that I woke up from that trance before it became too late for my career. I know that I can't have him, and I don't want to lose my career too.

His brother flirted with me to annoy him, and he offered a good contract. I accepted it without any hesitations. Matthew got mad, but I reasoned that it's my job. It will be a big help in my career
