"Listen, sweetheart, I'm marrying you for business. I'm not gonna pretend to be your knight in shining armor."
"I'm not asking you to be! How dare you even suggest that that's what I want!" Ang kapal ng mukha ni Javier del Toro, sa isip-isip ni Victoria, gigil na gigil. Mukha ba siyang nakikiusap na maging knight in shining armor ito?! "This marriage is going to be nothing more than an agreement. Therefore, I expect you to treat me as an equal. If you're expecting an obedient wife who exists to serve your every will, you're going to be terribly disappointed. And if you're expecting that we'd sleep together, then you better put that off the table this instant. Hinding-hindi mangyayari!"
"And the world heaves a collective sigh of relief," sabi nitong sarkastiko.
Hindi siya nagpatalo. "You might find it surprising but not all women find you attractive. Don't think that you're God's gift to women, please!"
"Oh, no, not God, sweetheart. That would be blasphemous now, wouldn't it?" He grinned. "I'm fun and I'd probably seduce you out of your clothes so I'm quite sure I'm the devil's gift to women."
