Contract With The Devil
"I never plan of having children, let alone a pathetic mother of my child!"
***
Gagawin ni Magenta ang lahat para sa inang may sakit, kahit pa ibenta maging ang kanyang kaluluwa sa demonyo.
***
Because of her sick mother, Magenta has no other choice but to accept the job that she never heard of before and is offered to her. She has to work with a business magnate known in the business world as the king of investments as he owned the largest holding company in the country. A billionaire who prefers paying a woman to fill his bed in a one-month contract. And later, she had to pretend as his wife.
Magenta didn't know him until she accepted the job of being his woman for a month. When she met him in person, all of a sudden, she felt reluctant to sign their contract. Brooding and mysterious, he's every inch of a dangerous man.
But the thought of her mother gives her the strength to sign the contract with the devil. He is the first man she gives her innocence to. But she did not just give up her pride and dignity. She surrenders her heart, but it seems like he has no intention of taking it.

Chapter: EPILOGONAGISING SI Magenta nang maramdaman ang brasong yumakap sa kanyang katawan."Hmm..." she moaned softly when he gave her shoulder light kisses. "Merry Christmas," he whispered to her ear tenderly. Tumihaya ng higa si Magenta at ikurap-kurap ang namimigat pa niyang mga mata. Kapagkuwan ay banayad siyang ngumiti nang luminaw ang kanyang paningin at makita si Malcolm na nakatingin sa kanya. Tumaas ang kanyang kamay patungo sa ulo nito at masuyong hinaplos ang buhok ni Malcolm patungo sa pisngi nito habang nanatiling magkahugpong ang kanilang mga mata. Her heart was beating too fast, Malcolm was staring at her with too much affection in his eyes. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya masanay-sanay, there were still butterflies fluttering inside her tummy, her veins were racing, her senses were in haywire every time Malcolm was with her."Merry Christmas, Mal," she said while caressing his lips. Napatingin siya sa mga labi nito, she wanted to feel its softness. At hindi siya nabigo dahil

Chapter: KABANATA 52"I never had an ideal family. My mother was a typical mother, she loves her children among anything else, but I had a sorry excuse for a father... Marcus."I grew up witnessing him hurting my mother, but I couldn't do anything to stop him. Marcus was insecure, he was proud, arrogant, and he was always paranoid. He was raised by a single mother, a worker at my grandfather's company on my mother's side. Marcus' mother was ambitious, she wanted to marry her son to a wealthy family.

Chapter: KABANATA 51"Sit down, Malcolm," utos ni Gail nang akmang tatayo ang binata. She sighed deeply and looked at her nephew sympathetically. "I was with Marcus with his last minutes, Mal. He wanted me to deliver a message to you."Malcolm groaned in disapproval, he didn't want to hear it. "He had Alzheimer's! What message could he possibly want you to tell me when he couldn't remember me! When he couldn't remember what he did to my mother! To my whole family! I loathe him, Gail! He should have suffered in his last moment because of the crime he had committed to my family, but he couldn't remember a thing! He couldn't remember!" Malcolm burst. His voice raised in anger.Umiling si Gail nang marinig ang outburst ng pamangkin. Naiintindihan niya kung bakit ito nagagalit sa pagka-alala sa ama, ngunit kailangan niyang sabihin ang mga salitang gustong iparating ni Marcus dito. "No, Mal. He remembered. Marcus hadn't completely forgotten everything he did, there

Chapter: KABANATA 50TUMIHAYA NG HIGA si Malcolm nang maalimpungatan. Hindi niya agad napansin na nasa dulo na siya ng kama kaya nahulog siya sa sahig. "Shit!" he muttered an oath crispily as he felt the pain in his back, but it was nothing compare to the throbbing of his head. Sumandig siya sa kama at mariing napapikit habang pinapahupa ang pananakit ng kanyang ulo dahil sa hangover. Nang ituwid niya ang mga binti at may matamaang kung anong bagay ay nagmulat siya ng mga mata subalit matindi pa rin ang pagkakunot ng noo at pagtatagis ng mga bagang. The hangover was hellish. Sinipa niya ang bote ng alak na wala nang laman at agad na gumulong patungo sa mga iba pa. He groaned, seeing how many empty bottles were on the floor, they were evidence that he had drunk last night to oblivion. Pinilit niyang tumayo para lang muling mapasalampak ng higa ng pahalang sa kanyang kama. His body was too heavy to move, at ang ulo niya ay para bang minamartilyo. That was the wo

Chapter: KABANATA 49Inabot ni Suzette ang kamay ni Magenta at pinisil ang palad nito. Alam niya ang gusto nitong sabihin kahit na hindi nito naituloy iyon. Some feelings were just too strong to let go anNatatd forget."I know I am in no position to give you advice, after all, I am the reason why this is happening... No, Jen," mabilis na pigil ni Suzette kay Magenta na akmang kukuntrahin naman ang kanyang sinabi kasabay ng kanyang pag-iling. "We can't deny the fact that I played a big role in everything that had happened and happening right now. The moment I met you, I felt that you were all that Malcolm needed. And I wasn't wrong, you changed him, Jen, you changed everything in his life. You might not believe this, but I saw Malcolm smile genuinely for the first time since the day I met him again. He was inside his office then, holding a photograph while smiling, and later I found out that it was your fake wedding picture. He had kept one in his wallet. And when you left, the

Chapter: KABANATA 48SHE CAN REMEMBER. She can remember everything now after hearing Rebecca's story, who does not know that she had temporary amnesia.From curling on top of Malcolm's bed while pulling her hair to lessen the throbbing of her head because of her memories that came back in a flash of lightning, she stopped from squirming and smiled weakly at Rose when she noticed her near the door frame. Rose was looking at her with confusion."C-come here..." she said weakly and urged her daughter to come closer.When Rose climbed on top of the bed, she embraced her tightly as her tears started to flow like waters that escaped a dam. Rose tried to struggle free, but Magenta did not let her. She doesn't want her daughter to see how messed up she is.God, how could she forget her? They've been separated for almost a week, Rose must have been devastated during those times that she was not there with her side. How dare Malcolm do that to her? To them!

Chapter: CHAPTER 16: DO ITTHE KISS STARTED SLOW as if they were weighing each other’s feelings.Ipinalibot niya ang mga braso sa leeg ni Russel at hinila papalapit ang katawan nito sa katawan niya. She opened her mouth and met his tongue halfway.Tila may mumunting apoy na sumisindi sa kanyang katawan habang magkalapat ang mga balat nila.She could feel Russel’s weight against her and the hardness of his body. Nakipaglaro ang dila niya sa dila ni Russel at parang unti-unti na itong nadadala sa ginagawa nila.Russel’s mouth was so hot and wet. Everytime their tongue touched she felt electricity running down her spine.She touched Russel’s broad back until her hands found the hem of his shirt. Unti-unti niya iyong itinaas upang alisin ang damit sa katawan ni Russel. She wanted to touch his bare body and feet its warmth.Hindi naman siya binigo ni Russel nang tulungan siya nitong alisin ang damit nito.Itinukod ni Russel ang dalawang kamay sa magkabilang gilid niya at tinitigan ang kanyang mukha.

Bumungad sa kanya ang dalawang pamilyar na mukha.They were part of the group they saw during the day when they were island hopping.“We are having a campfire by the beach, why don’t you and your husband join us?” the black woman said to her. She had a beautiful smile on her face.Ruby Rose could stare at her face for a long time. She was really beautiful. She had a curly untamed her, it was framing her small face. What was her name again? Hindi niya maalala ang pangalan nito kahit na nagpakilala ang grupo na kinabibilangan nito kaninang nag island hopping sila.If she remembered it clearly, the woman beside her was her wife, who looked life European. The couple were travelling from one country to another.“Thank you, ahm…” she trailed off while trying to remember their names. But her efforts were futile.“Jessie, that’s my n

Chapter: CHAPTER 14: THE VACATION“WHAT DO YOU want for dinner, Rosa?”Nginitian ni Rose ang kanilang guide na si Jose na sumungaw sa loob ng floating cottage, he was a Dominican in his early thirties, with a charming personality. He asked her earlier if he could call her Rosa, and she said yes.“I could eat anything edible, Jose.”“Excelente!” Jose exclaimed in Spanish.Napatingin siya sa kanyang asawa na kausap na ngayon ni Jose. She was amazed hearing Russel conversing in Spanish. She was reminded that she had a genius husband.Russel was a multilingual. Noon pa man ay inaral na nito ang iba’t ibang lengguwahe. When she was a teenager, she asked him why he was learning different languages and Russel said that it could be an advantage in dealing with clients or investors with different nationalities. Noon pa man ay gusto na ni Russel na magtrabaho sa kompanya ng daddy niya. Gusto nitong makatulong sa kanyang daddy sa pagpapatakbo ng kompanya. Siguro ay ito ang paraan nito upang makapagbayad, kahit na wala naman iton

Chapter: CHAPTER 13: SOMETHING’S WRONGMABILIS NA TUMAKBO ang batang si Ruby Rose habang nagbibilang ang kanyang yaya. She was giggling while running away to find some place to hide. Napangisi si Ruby Rose nang makitang nakabukas ang pinto ng storage room. Mabilis siyang pumasok sa loob at isinarado ang pinto. Ang tanging ilaw na tumatanglaw sa loob ay ang sinag ng papalubog na araw mula sa maliit na bintana.Umupo siya sa sahig at sumandig sa may pinto, napahagikhik siya habang iniisip ang paghahanap ng kanyang yaya sa kanya. She waited for how many minutes, but her nanny couldn’t find her. Ruby Rose did not notice that she was starting to fall asleep. Hanggang sa tuluyan siyang makatulog. Pagmulat niya ng mga mata ay sinaniban siya ng takot nang walang makita kung ‘di kadiliman. Wala nang araw na pumapasok sa bintana ng storage room. Agad siyang tumayo at pinihit ang seradura ng pinto ngunit hindi iyon bumubukas. Kinalampag niya ang pinto at sumigaw, baka sakaling marinig siya ng kung sinumang nasa labas. “I’m here,

Kanina ka pa nakatulala. Hindi mo ba nagustuhan ang pagkain? Gusto mong maghanda ako ng iba ng iba, ma’am?”“Busong na po ako, ate Judith,” aniya, pagkatapos ay iniligpit ang kanyang pinagkainan.She spaced out again. Napapansin niyang napapadalas ang kanyang pagkatulala. Hindi niya maalala kung ano ang iniisip niya kanina bago siya pukawin ni Judith. She was just… lost.“Umuulan na naman sa labas,” ani ni Judith habang nakatingin sa may veranda.“Puwede na po kayong umuwi baka abutan pa kayo ng baha.” Madilim na sa labas ngunit naroon pa rin ang house helper. Recently, she had been staying later than her usual schedule. Siguro’y sinabihan ito ni Russel para may makasama siya sa bahay. “Russel will be here any minute from now.”Judith was hesitant but Ruby Rose smiled at her and urge her to go home.Napabuntung-hininga si Ruby Rose at nap

Chapter: CHAPTER 11: NOT OKAYSHE WOKE UP WITH an unfamiliar white ceiling. She was disoriented at first while staring at the ceiling until a familiar voice finally registered in her mind. Someone’s calling her name.“Ruby Rose, are you okay?”Napatingin si Ruby Rose sa kanyang mommy na nasa tabi ng kanyang kinahihigaan. Naroon din si Marigold, ang nakababata niyang kapatid na babae. Nakatunghay ang dalawa sa kanya habang puno ng pag-aalala ang mga mukha.She glanced at her mother’s hand that was holding her own hand. Hindi agad maproseso sa kanyang isipan ang dahilan kung bakit ganoon ang reaksiyon ng mga ito.Sinubukan niyang igalaw ang katawan upang hawakan ang kanyang mommy ngunit agad na sumigid ang sakit. Doon niya naalala ang nangyari sa kanya sa kanilang bahay.“H-How long… was I asleep?” she asked in a raspy voice. Her throat felt dry and rough.“You slept for nearly twelve hours,” her mother answered.“M-My baby…. W-what hap… pened?”Kinabahan siya nang makitang nagtinginan ang kanyang mommy at kapatid.

Chapter: SPECIAL CHAPTER (GIVING BIRTH)SPECIAL CHAPTERNAGISING siya sa madaling araw na humihilab ang tiyan. Noong una ay hindi niya iyon gaanong pinagtuunan ng pasin. Akala niya'y simpleng paghilab lang iyon.Subalit hindi katagalan, the pain was becoming unbearable."Nick…" tawag niya sa asawa na natutulog sa kanyang tabi. Umungol ito bago iminulat ang mga mata."What happened? Are you okay?" she asked raspily."M-Manganganak na yata ako."Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Nick na biglang napabangon sa pagkakahiga at tiningnan ang kanyang tiyan. Napansin din niya ang bahagyang panginginig ng kamay at mga labi nito. Kung wala lang masakit sa kanyang katawan ay natawa na siya sa reaksiyon ng kanyang asawa.

Chapter: EPILOGOSHE looked at herself in the mirror and her eyes got misty. Matagal na niyang hinihiling na dumating ang araw na iyon, now it was happening.She sighed shakily and smiled at herself. Hindi niya hinayaang bumagsak ang luha mula sa kanyang mga mata dahil sa labis na kaligayahan. It would ruin her makeup na ilang oras ginawa ng makeup artist niya. Her hair was tied in a bun, strands of it were draping on the side of her face. She felt so beautiful, it must be the effect of happiness. Pati ang mga nakikita niya sa kanyang paligid ay gumaganda sa kanyang paningin.Napatingin siya sa pinto nang bumukas iyon at nginitian ang ama. Humahangang nakatingin ito sa kanya habang namamasa ang mga mata. Tumatanda na nga si Alessandro Sanford, nagiging emosiyonal na."You're so beautiful, darling. The most beautiful bride I have eve

Nagpasa siya ng indefinite leave kanina, nakipaghuntahan muna siya sa mga kasamahan kaya napatagal ang kanyang pag-uwi. "This is the worst day ever," bulong niya.Wala man lang nakaalala sa pamilya niya kung ano ang meron sa araw na iyon.It was her twenty-ninth birthday. Mula nang magising siya kanina ay wala man lang bumati sa kanya kahit isang kapamilya. Even Nick. Buti pa nga ang ibang kakilalang empleyado sa ASCF ay binati siya.Kanina pa masama ang araw niya at ngayon namang pag-uwi niya ay wala siyang nadatnan kahit isang tao man lang sa bahay nila.Baka nasa mansiyon ang mga bata, she thought. Marahil ay hindi pa nakakauwi si Adeline mula sa paaralan.Mabigat ang loob na nagtungo siya sa kuwarto at naglinis ng katawan. Nang makapagbihis ay lumabas siya ng bahay at naglakad patungo sa mansiyon. Naraan niya

Pumupunta ang binata roon para makasama ang mga bata, minsan naman ay roon ito natutulog. Mas gusto niyang makasama ito sa iisang bahay, pero masaya narin siya sa ganito. Masaya siya na narito ang binata, sobrang saya.Paunti-unti ay nakukuha na ni Nick ang tiwala ng kanyang ama maging ng kanyang mga kapatid.
