Chained Heart

"I want your body, name your price."

Walang emosyon ang mukha niya, blangko at malamig ang mga mata. Tuluyan na ngang nawala yung maamo at malambing niyang mga titig. This is not the Kurt I knew, he's a different person.

Wealth didn't change him, hate did. Hate for me and my family, my friends and everyone around me - everything about me. And I am not surprised at all, with all the things I did to him and his family.

"Are you still as expensive as before? Don't worry, I can afford you now, no matter the price. Let me know."

Tila libo-libong patalim and bawat salita niya na bumabaon sa dibdib ko. I didn't expect to feel this pain after everything I've been through-hitting rock bottom, losing fame, money, family-everything.

I know this is the karma he's been waiting for. Now he's playing with me, just like how I played him before. And I can feel this is only the beginning-I'm expecting the worst.

I blinked to erase the tears forming in my eyes, wala akong karapatang masaktan, ako ang unang nanakit sa kanya, I destroyed him. I cleared my throat before speaking. "I-I have to g-go--"

"Your Dad is dying, shouldn't your pride be your last concern?" he coldly asked, I know he's trying to humiliate me, crashing me into pieces. "Oh, just to make it clear, I'm not doing this to help you, just in case you'll get the wrong idea. Your Dad has so much to pay, and death's too easy."

I swallowed hard. Yeah, he's the only option I have. If I have to sell my body to him to keep my only family alive then be it. "I-I need the m-money n-now."

Lihim akong napamaang nang mas lalong tumalim ang titig niya sa akin then he smirked.

"Well, then. Someone will call you to wire the money."

Then he walked away. Nasundan ko nalang ng tingin ang matangkad niyang pigura, ang malapad niyang likod at balikat. Ibang-iba na talaga siya, his aura is screaming authority and dominance.

He's no longer the Kurt Solomon who was madly in love with me.
