Chapter 1

Despite of the loud music, I could still hear their insulting laughters. Ang palakasin ang loob ang kaya kong gawin bukod sa pag-iyak.

"The junk shop is outside, not here. I don't buy craps, Benedict." The smirked on his lips grew wider.

Nagtawanan sila. Parang kinukurot ang dibdib ko sa narinig at napayuko na lamang. His words broke not just my ego, but also my self-esteem.

I knew it. They're up to no good. I could already imagine how miserable my life will get with this black-suit people! Pare-parehas lang sila ng mga magulang ko.

Sa kabilang banda, alam kong nasundot n'ya ang inis ni Papa. No matter how he put up a smile, it was still fake. "Babae pa'rin 'yan, Montecedez. Hindi lang nag-ayos—"

"That's the point, Benedict. You know I value quality too, not only substance. Hmm.."

Nag-init ang pisngi ko. I fight the courage to sneak a peek on his way but I wasn't able to see him clearly because of the shadow that hiding his form. I could only hear his laughing echoing.

Hindi ako makagalaw ng husto dahil ayaw akong bitiwan ni Mama. I tried so hard to stop crying, but the thought of being controlled again by other people inflect a great pain in my heart.

"Seven hundred thousand." Pakikipag-deal pa ni Mama.

The excruciating pain in my chest tightened. Funny how could they put price in my life like I was some sort of meat in the market. How much do I really worth of?

Kahit kailan ay hindi ko naisip na kaya pala ako tumbasan ng pera. Shit lang!

Kumurba ang ngisi sa kaniyang labi. Sinubukan kong linawan ang mata pero tanging parte lang ng kaniyang labi ang kaya kong makita.

It was soft and pink to looked at. Hindi matanggal ang mga mata ko doon lalo na ng kumibot iyon para sa isang salita.

"Six hundred..." He said back. 

I gulped harshly. No matter how I think of anything, my mind is tangled. Lahat ng pumapasok sa utak ko ay hindi ko maintindihan. I'm in desperate state right now on how to escape and save my life out from this messed.

He leaned forward and put his elbow on his knees. Doon ko lamang s'ya nakita. Tila hinigit pabalik ang dila ko at hindi ako makapagsalita.

Right after our eyes met, I felt something tugged inside my chest. His thicked brows, the same color with his eyes, sculpted pointed nose, stubborn jaw and lustrous pink lips.

He's all that...nice.

I immediately shoved off the thought. Looks can be deceiving. Hindi dapat ko magpapadala sa mga nakikita ko dahil kahit saan'g anggulo tingnan, masama pa'rin s'ya.

Right after our eyes met, he looked back to my father. Kahit nakaupo lang siya sa upuan ay malakas na ang dating n'ya para sa'kin. He's scarry-looking and intense.

His black formal suit, his body built, his dark aura, his deep eyes, and his stubborn jaw. Even the way his lip pressed together shows that he's not a type of guy who likes to smile. Everything about him terrifies the heck out of me.
