CHAPTER 6: WHAT IS MINE“They won’t let me go out there, daddy.” Natasha came back, her furrow brows shows frustration, but it wasn’t just her. Her entire family are stressed out, now that David’s men are guarding their house for the meantime to make sure that they wouldn’t run away.“Damn it!” Mathew cursed.“Oh, sweetheart, it’s not your fault.” His wife came to him. “If there’s somebody to blame, it’s not you, nobody between us…but it’s Anna.”“That witch still causes us trouble, even if she wasn’t here!” Natasha agreed.“Don’t worry, we’ll get through it…” But then, a wicked idea came to Ellen’s head. “Wait. Since we’ve already marry her off, why don’t we get something from it, honey?”“You’re talking about digging our own grave, Ellen.” Mathew rolled his eyes. “If David won’t kill us, then we’ll probably die living in that mansion. The Salvador’s are evil; they are savages— ““Not to any woman.” A wretched smile spread from her lips. “Don’t worry, I have a plan.”ANNA’S POINT OF

CHAPTER 5: THE DEVIL’S FAMILYAnna castigated herself, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, but staring back at him, all of the courage she musters were drove away. His presence made her shrunk, his intense gaze made her tongue tied, and all she could was stared at him. Powerless, and meek.And Anna hated it.The more she thinks about it, the more she felt stupider.A knock from the door draws her attention.“Come in—“Helen marched unannounced. Behind her were two maids, and her lips were upturned. She did not even make an effort to hide how much she dislikes her.“We were sent here to make sure that you’ll be prepared for tonight, Mrs. Salvador.” She scorned.The two young maids behind her cowered in fear.“Prepared for what?” Anna ignored her disdain.Her plate is full already. She doesn’t want to deal with her…for now.“What a pity that our Lord had not even informed his little wife about his family’s get together.” Helen’s voice is full of mockery.Anna would have made a remark a

CHAPTER 4: BE MY WIFE, ACT LIKE ONE“She did not eat?” Romanov removed his glasses.Aiden stood before him. His eyes are on the floor as he reported. Anna still refuses to touched her food. If it continues, she’ll go sick and for unknown reason, it worries him. But perhaps, it wasn’t because he cares, but by the fact that he was anticipating what would may his Lord does. It was least for the entire Salvador’s men to hear that he married a woman, who drugged him the other night. Much more to think that Anna became a missus—Mrs. Salvador and everybody was curious why he married her, when there’s a lot of candidate proposing underneath the powerful Romanov Salvador. A heir and a billionaire, who rise up to Power at young age.Romanov was recognized by the Forbes, and were featured to different magazines. Women swoon and drool as he walked, but nobody have gotten his attention, so why Anna now?“She haven’t been eating since she was locked up there, Sir, “ said Aiden. “I am afraid that if

CHAPTER 3: NATASHA IN EXCHANGE FOR ANNAANNA MASON’S POINT OF VIEWThe cell, where I was kept alive was cold and damp. The walls are thick, and it was dark. The only thing that was keeping me sane was the sound of water, a few drops coming from the cracks on the ceiling and a few guards, who would check on me, but never utter a single word. They would watch, but other than that, they would stay for a few moment outside of my cell and then they would left.My throat is parched. My lips are dry and the smell of rotten food I ignored for days made my stomach to churn. Disgust filled me, in spite of my hardened countenance.I don’t know how long had I been here. I lost count, when Romanov’s men dragged me down here after my family was freed. The only thing that was clear on hindsight is anger, resentment that fueled my hate asking why those Mason’s did not rot here together with me.They deserve to die here and not celebrate their released!A familiar sound knocked me back to reality. The

CHAPTER 2: TAKEN BY FORCE, CONTRACT MARRIAGEIt didn’t take long. Half an hour, multiple unfamiliar cars screeched to a halt right outside the Mason’s mansion. The guards who were on duty looked baffled, they were dumbstruck especially, when men who were clad on expensive black suit marched as if they own the place.“Who are you? Leave this instant or we’re calling the police!”“You can’t just barge in here…!”“What’s all with the commotion?” When Mathew Mason, Anna’s father heard that unknown men were marching into his mansion, he rushed out, but fear engulfs him when he took a peek.They looks intimidating, that mad him scared shitless—but who the hell sent them?“We wanted Anna Mason. Give her to us and nobody needs to be hurt.”Mathew realizes something.Who else would want that little wrench of a daughter he has anyway?Of course it had to be that old man, who had paid for her the previous night! The fact that he fancy Anna made him disgusted at the same time relieved because he

CHAPTER 1: SOLD INNOCENCE, ONE NIGHT STAND WITH A TYRANT WARNING FOR 18+ This may involve scenes that is not appropriate for a young reader. Everything was a mess, even Iwas in the state of shock for what happened. The large bed in the presidential suite I was lured in was crumpled, evidently suggesting about what occurred last night. Clothes lay on the floor, tattered dress, undergarments, socks and shoes thrown carelessly. Anna felt fear while staring at the man’s godly features, although his eyes was glaring at her viciously. His gaze are intense as if he wanted to kill her and the coldness coming from them sent chills to the bone. He was mad, he was beyond furious as he clutch her wrist—hard. “You fucking wrench! How dare you tricked me?!” He didn’t, she was the one who had been tricked by her own parents. “Get the hell out of here or I will fucking tear you into shreds!” His voice thunders across the room. “Ouch!” Anna flinched, when he harshly let go of her hand. A t

CHAPTER 4: HIS CHASEIt was Dimitri, the man I was hoping not to run onto. The dream I longs each night for months as I was reminded of what we shared on the that Island.Dimitri. It was fucking Dimitri Del Valle.“Mary Jane.” Glued, she slowly turned to face the man, she never knew she would ever run again. Dimitri. It was Dimitri Del Valle, who was approaching her with a broad smile after settling what happened on the store. He owns it. The steward and the manager along with the others are forced to make amends and apologize to Mary Jane afterwards. They looks scared, afraid the moment he appeared. Mary Jane is still lost, while he seems delighted to see her. “Hey, are you okay? I hope that they did not scare you too much.” He looks worried, and a frown made its way to his handsome face. On her mind, she knew that it wasn’t right. “H—how did you find me?” That was the first thing she said. If her husband find out, Ignacio would strangle her to death. “Why? Is it bad or did I

CHAPTER 3: THE ACCUSED THIEF“Damn, you really made my night hot, honey.” Ignacio lean closer and planted a soft lingering kiss on Loren’s lips as if I wasn’t there. My sister giggles in return, while my skin revolt at their show of intimacy. I hid my disgust. In front of us were our parents and his, but the sophisticated mother to Ignacio did not pay any attention to us. She was more concern whether he was pleas or not. I am no fool. Mrs. Rosewood prefer Loren than I. She thinks that I married Ignacio, because I was after his money.“Have you read the news, dear?” She did not bath an eye on my direction. “I’ve heard that Mr. Del Valle is coming here in the Philippines, and I might suggest that you should invite him to our company. His investment would pursue a few more investors, son.”I silently eat besides my husband. “We’ll see about that, Ma.” Ignacio agreed. “I think Loren would be able to convince him. Right, darling?”“You mean....?”My stomach churned.I know how horrible

CHAPTER 2: ONE REBELLIOUS NIGHTBORACAY, PHILIPPINES “I almost thought you’ll ditched my invitation, Mary!” Cassandra slurred. She was drunk as she giggles. A few of are friends already have their fill. I have mine, but I don’t want to drink so much. Staying here would be brief, and I wanted to enjoy it as much as I can before I came back to that hellhole I call home. For the first time in my life, I am rebellious. Thinking about Ignacio’s furious face as he search for me doesn’t made me afraid. The fear was left behind and their fret. “But what I couldn’t understand was—” Cassandra frowns. She inched closer to my face and I could smell the strong scent of alcohol on her breathe. “—your husband is beating you up. Why don’t you just leave that bastard? They are not worth of your life anyway. You could runaway, Mary.” “And I hope that would be easy.” I laughs sadly. The Rosewood’s won’t let me, and of course my parents, who thinks that they are pockets of money. They are attracted

CHAPTER 1: INFERTILE, THE BATTERED WIFE Mary Jane Fonte—Rosewood was trembling as she sits there. She was quite, her lips are firmly shut, while her husband, Ignacio Rosewood was listening to what the doctor says. “I’m afraid that Mrs. Rosewood has...unfortunately leukaemia.” Doctor Geneva dropped the bomb. “Excuse me?” I could hear the disbelief on his voice. “Are you saying that my wife here is sick, and not pregnant? What about her morning sickness?” He insisted. Ignacio doesn’t sounds happy. He was much concern, whether I am pregnant or not, but I could tell why. He married me, because he think I was pregnant after we were caught on the act, naked together and lying on bed as we hug. That’s the rumours and photographs that the media spread. It’s been five months, but life doesn’t feel like it is. Many are envious, because I was married to a man, who came from old money and wealth.
