This is the sequel to "His Beautiful Prey", in which a dominating and feared mafia boss, Eros Mathew Vernadsky, fell in love with his maid, Gelai Pales, who left the mansion because of the pain she couldn't bear. Eros flew to Italy, but after a year, he came back to pursue and claim his kotehok back.
Would Gelai give in and give him a chance?
"I'll make it up to you, kotehok. Please, give me another chance, please." His voice was filled with desperation while his eyes were pleading at me.
He tried to touch me, but I swatted his hands away and shook my head. I stepped back while tears didn't stop slipping out of my eyes.
"The pain you inflicted on me is still here." I choked out as I pointed my chest and continued, "And you have the guts to ask my forgiveness and a chance? Ang kapal din ng mukha mo, no?" I chuckled bitterly and wiped my tears.
