By day, Carlotta spins stories. By night, she serves drinks. Her life was simple. Until her good-for-nothing brother offered her as collateral to pay off a massive gambling debt to a ruthless underground casino. Now she's the reluctant fiancée of a powerful mafioso rumored to have a cruel streak... and a bedroom secret that's the talk of the criminal underworld: erectile dysfunction. Carlotta would've found it funny if it weren't her life on the line. To make things worse, fate throws in another complication: her dangerously attractive new driver-slash-bodyguard. With abs worthy of a thirst trap and a face that screams "Asgardian demigod". He's the kind of temptation a woman in her situation absolutely does not need.

BILLIONAIRE OWN'S ME "Walanghiya kang lalaki ka!" Pinagsusuntok ko pa siya para effective ang acting ko. "Akala ko... ako lang, akala ko ako lang ang mahal mo." Halatang naguguluhan sila. "Miss, Are you on drugs? What the hell are you talking about." Sabi ng lalaki. Hindi ako papaapekto sa kagwapuhan niya. Kailangan ko siyang gantihan sa pagtanggal niya sakin sa trabaho. "Bakit may kasama kang babae? sabi mo sakin ako ang mahal mo at hindi mo ako ipagpapalit kahit kanino. Binigay ko sayo ang lahat ng meron ako." Gusto ko tumawa dahil sa pinaggagawa ko. "Who is she Leonardo?" Tanong ng babae, naguguluhan naman ang lalaki. "I don't know her Mika. Dont listen to that girl, she's crazy." Sabi ng lalaki sa babaeng mukha namang clown dahil sa kapal ng make-up. "Ang kapal ng mukha mo, pagkatapos mong pagsawaan ang katawan ko ay itatapon mo nalang akong parang basura." Halatang galit na ang lalaki pati narin ang babae. "Lets just go Babe." Sabi ng lalaki at hinawakan ang kamay ng babae. I need to make my----, basta next move tayo. "Where are you going? Iiwan mo ako at ang Baby natin." Kunwaring umiiyak ako. Sobrang nakakahiya ang pinag-gagawa ko, hindi ko alam kung may mukha pa ba akong maihaharap pagkatapos ng iskandalong ito. "Im pregnant with your child, don't leave me please. Gulat akong napatingin sa babae ng sampalin niya ng pagkalakas-lakas ang lalaki. "I'm breaking up with you. Asshole." At nagmartsa paalis ng Bar ang babae. 'YES! I win! Buti nga sa kanya.' Sabi ng isip ko. Maya maya umalis na ako sa harapan niya nang tumalikod siya at patakbo kong kinuha ang gamit ko sa table namin, kailangan ko ng umalis sa lugar na ito nanganganib ang buhay ko dito. Pangiti-ngiti pa ako habang inaalala ang nangyari kanina, sigurado akong umuusok na ang ilong nang lalaki sa sobrang galit. Naglakad ako papuntang sakayan ng may humila sakin. "Where do you think your going Miss?" 'OH NO! I know that voice!' ⚠WARNING: PLAGISM IS A CRIME
