[THIS IS UNEDITED] Lucenzo's Obsession.

Arabelle Torres' mother was never in favor of her happiness-especially when it came to the man she loved, Claude Fontanilla. Despite Claude's sincere promises to love and protect her through whatever consequences they might face, her mother's disapproval left her with no choice. To keep peace at home, Arabelle was forced to make the hardest decision of her life: to let him go. But she couldn't just walk away. Against her will, she painted herself as the villain - pretending to be unfaithful, hoping he would hate her enough to leave. It was the only way to set him free. . . or so she thought. What she didn't expect was that her sacrifice would awaken something dark in the man she once knew. The gentle, kind, and loving Claude vanished. In his place rose someone unrecognizable-cold, ruthless, and vengeful. Now, he's determined to make her pay for the pain she caused him. . . even if it means destroying what's left of her. How long can Arabelle endure his torment? How long must she suffer the consequences of a choice she never truly wanted to make?

"A.. Ahhh! H.. Haro! Masakit please! " Sigaw ng babae habang pilit tinatanggal ang mahigpit at marahas na pagkulong ni Haro sa namumula na nitong pisnge. "Beauty, my beauty.. I have done nothing for you to hurt me like this, betray me, left me! " Ang kamay na siyang nasa pisnge'y pumaroon naman sa leeg, sinasakal siya ng isang halimaw. "H.. Haro, t..tama na.. " Nakapikit na pagmamakaawa niya, umiiyak. "No, I won't stop. I have showed you love before, I have treated you as my queen before, I have been gentle, loving caring, but what!? You still leave me! So I won't be as kind as I am before, if this kind of treatment will make you stay with me, then be it. You will be my beauty forever, you will never leave again, I won't let you escape, let you go, leave me again! You are mine! " Sa pagkasakal sa kanya ng lalaki, bigla naman siya nitong inihagis sa sahig. Sumalampak siya doon, napangiwi nang malakas na tumama ang likod sa sementong sahig, ngunit nang marinig ang isang tunog ng pagtanggal ng sinturon, agad siyang napabangon ngunit napasigaw nang biglang tinapakan ng halimaw ang tiyan niya, tuluyan ng nahuban ng lalaki ang sinturon na siyang nasa kamay na nito. "W.. Wag.. P.. Please wag Haro.. A.. Ayoko.. Ayoko.. " "But I want to beauty, I want to make sure that you won't be able to leave me again now.. I want you my beauty.. " *HARO'S SIDE STORY* BABALA!!
