PROLOGUE and Chapter 1

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yza stepped out onto the balcony of the boarding house she was renting. She rested her arms on the wooden railings, feeling the wind play with her damp and very dark hair. She gazed at her surroundings because sleep eluded her, so she chose to stay outside and let the breeze calm her.

She glanced at her friend Tiffany, who was sound asleep, and envied her contentment. Yza, with only a year left in her studies, struggled through life. There were times when she thought that if she were just wealthy, her life wouldn't be this challenging.

She accepted all sorts of jobs just to support her education and help her grandmother, who was her only family in the world and getting older. Yza aspired to become an accountant, but she felt that her dream was slipping further away with just one year left, due to the hardships.

Her gaze wandered to a large apartment building across from where they lived. It was the opposite of their place, built from wood, while this one was made of concrete and impressively large. Rich people seemed to be the tenants, evident from the fancy cars parked there.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed someone in one of the units. She observed a man standing on a terrace. She stood upright, squinting to see him in the darkness, and all she could make out clearly was the glow of the cigarette he was smoking. At first, she hadn't noticed anyone because his room was so dim, as if he was conserving electricity.

Doesn't he have money? Yza wondered to herself, but she suddenly hugged herself as if she felt that he was looking at her.

Is he looking at me?

Fear and a shiver ran down her spine because he continued to puff on the cigarette, and the smoke she saw joined the wind.

The stranger's gaze was palpable, and they were directly facing each other until he moved closer to the terrace's railing, bathed in the moon's light.

She saw his eyes fixed on her, as if studying her intently.

Yza couldn't catch her breath.

Oh my! Is he Dracula?

She quickly turned and rushed inside. She glanced back at the man, and despite the fear and her pounding heart, the man's dark, intense gaze remained locked on her. She could barely make out the face of the stranger, and she had a foreboding feeling that he was a frightening person.

She shivered at the man.

Who is he?

Is he Dracula, like in the horror movies on TV?

She swallowed hard. What if he has fangs and bites me...

CHAPTER 1

Yza’s footsteps were heavy as she entered the De Lorenzo estate after getting out of the taxi. This was her second time entering the vast house and yard, where the only people around were the servants, bodyguards, and the one and only master of the place, Mister Adamson Rix de Lorenzo, whom she had never seen or even caught a glimpse of in the nearly three years her grandmother had been working there as the housekeeper. Her grandmother never allowed her to visit because her boss was said to be strict and didn’t like strangers around his house.

When Yza first came, her grandmother didn’t know, and her employer was away on a trip, so she never saw even a hint of him. She had been excited about his looks because the house helpers there said Señorito Adam was very handsome, though quiet and always serious—so his face was striking.

Now, her grandmother was sick, so she had to come.

She saw that the main door was closed, so she entered through the side near the dirty kitchen. As she turned a corner, she accidentally bumped into something.

“Ah!” she closed her eyes tightly when her body collided with the object, but when she opened her eyes, it wasn’t a wall.

It was a man!

Yza covered her mouth when she saw the man’s naked body, drenched in sweat but exuding a strong, alluring scent. Can someone really sweat perfume?

She involuntarily looked down and saw he was only wearing boxer shorts. His bulging manhood was fully exposed and seemed to be flaunting itself, as if daring anyone to look. What did the models of briefs and boxers in popular magazines say? Nothing.

Jesus! She bit her lip out of embarrassment. She had never seen a man nearly naked so close as this. And as to why she looked down—it caused her innocent eyes to look at something forbidden, making her blush deeply.

She looked up, almost fainting at the breathtaking sight of him, a perfect stranger before her eyes. His sharp green eyes were captivating. His nose was straight, and his lips looked like they were always ready to kiss or seduce. He had manly facial hair, giving him the appearance of a god from a typical TV series about mythology.

So handsome!

She wanted to think he was a driver, but no, he was too handsome to be one. Could this be Señorito Adam?

My God! He’s so incredibly handsome. No wonder the house helpers’ eyes sparkled with excitement when they first told her about him.

She blinked repeatedly, then took a small step back.

“S-Sorry.” Yza awkwardly bowed, knowing that what she was about to see in his eyes would surely be the bulge in his boxer shorts, so she focused directly on his eyes.

The corner of the man’s lips lifted ever so slightly, so lightly it wasn’t even noticeable, but with it came a mysterious and intense gaze that sent chills down her spine.

Yza’s eyes suddenly landed on a woman in a green dress he was with, who was standing by the wall, adjusting herself. She even saw that the woman was wearing panties, and her dress was pulled down to her waist. The woman’s chest was visible as she adjusted her bra, seemingly not caring about the world. There was money on top of a bag placed on a wooden stool—thousands of pesos.

Yza covered her chest in shock. What were these two doing in the dirty kitchen, and why did the woman look like that? Were they playing a game of peek-a-boo?

“Excuse m-me,” Yza stammered, unable to focus on the woman who seemed completely unconcerned even though her body was exposed. The woman was also sweating and wiped her legs with a tissue, as if something was dripping from her.

She shook her head to try and clear her mind but immediately became scared. The man was dangerous, and she was very sure of that.

She didn’t even look at the man’s face because of her nervousness and quickly turned around, walking quickly out of the dirty kitchen. The problem was, where could she go? Why were these two doing this outside? Who was that man with the green eyes? Suddenly, her heart pounded loudly, and without thinking, she glanced back at the man, who was still following her with his gaze. When he started walking toward her, she ran quickly toward the front of the house.

“Grandma!” she shouted, forgetting for a moment that her grandmother was sick and resting.

“Ate Isay! Sis Perla! Sis Cora!” she called out to the servants near the main door.

She feared the man might catch up to her and harm her. It felt terrifying. Was that what they called sex? What the two of them did? The woman was naked, and though she didn’t really know how it worked, based on the way the woman’s dress had ridden up and gathered at her waist, it seemed like they weren’t just playing around in the dirty kitchen.

She gasped when the man suddenly appeared at the small exit. He was smiling devilishly, and though his smile was faint, she could tell he was enjoying the fact that he had caught her in such a compromising situation.

He was incredibly handsome, but he looked like someone who was always ready to kill. His eyes seemed to hide many dark secrets and wickedness.

“You want to come inside, Yza?” he asked, his tone flirtatious.

His voice was commanding, full of authority.

How did this man know her name? She didn’t know him. They had never met, and she was sure of that, but somehow, he seemed to know her name.

She nodded slowly, and to her surprise, the door opened by itself as she reached it.

She hesitated to approach, but before she could step inside, the woman in the dress from earlier appeared in front of her.

“When will be the next, Adam honey?” the woman asked with a grin, walking sexily in high-heeled shoes.

Yza looked at the man, whose gaze was directly focused on the woman.

Oh my God! This was Señorito Adam. He was a playboy!

Without realizing it, she stopped in her tracks, suddenly curious to hear what the man would say. Maybe they were a couple.

“No next time. This will be the first and last. You’re paid, now get the hell out of my sight, woman,” he replied firmly to the woman, who was actually very beautiful when seen up close.

It was unbelievable—he had just dismissed her right in front of Yza.

Yza quickly walked away from the man’s presence, afraid that he might dismiss her the same way he did the woman earlier. It was embarrassing. He had such a bossy, authoritative aura—truly a master in his own right.

She realized she needed to figure out her place in all of this. She would surely feel small if she tried to match up to someone like him.

She glanced back at him and saw that he was still watching her, so she took larger steps towards the kitchen, where the maid’s quarters were.

She had seen that woman before. She couldn’t quite remember where, but she had definitely seen her.

Oh, I knew it!

The woman was a former beauty queen. She had competed in Bb. Pilipinas two years ago and was crowned Bb. Pilipinas International. No wonder she was so beautiful and sexy—she was a beauty queen.

“Yza.”

The man’s voice startled her as she froze in place, clutching her bag tighter.

Yza stopped walking and tilted her head, still holding onto her bag.

“P-Po?” she nervously asked.

He stood in the doorway of the dining room, watching her intently.

“How old are you?” he asked.

For some reason, her hands felt cold. Maybe it was because he was so intimidating and so handsome that, even in a crowd, he would still stand out. He was tall, sexy, and manly, with a fierce yet alluring face that seemed to carry no hint of fear.

“I’ll be twenty,” she said, lowering her head slightly.

She couldn’t bring herself to look him directly in the eye because it felt like his gaze was so intense that she might melt under it, like metal heated over a flame.

“Are you afraid of me?” he asked, his dark brown eyebrows arched.

She shook her head while keeping her eyes lowered, but her heart began pounding again when she realized he was stepping closer to her. However, just as he got nearer, Perla, one of the housemaids, appeared behind her.

Yza couldn’t help but notice the sharp, almost hostile glare Adam shot at Perla.

“Oh, you’re here, Yza. Grandma Eli is in her room,” Perla said, so Yza turned to look at her.

“H-Ha? Y-yes.” Yza didn’t know why her speech was suddenly faltering—maybe it was because of the woman she had seen earlier or the sensation of bumping into the sweaty, handsome man.

She glanced back at Adam, who was now standing near the table, only about two feet away from her. He was watching her intently, like a predator in a TV show, hiding many secrets behind his handsome, seductive face.

“N-You're here, Señorito. I was just about to clean your room,” Perla said, but Adam raised a hand to stop her. “Since Manang Eli is sick, I want Yza to clean my room a little later,” he said, then turned his back and walked away.

She stared at the man’s butt as he walked, his movements swaying with his hips, like a model strutting down a fashion show for men.

Why does she have to clean his room?

She bit her finger as her chest pounded again.

What if the man assaults her later? But that’s impossible because the woman who was with him earlier was so beautiful, and he had just dismissed her.

Why would he assault her, an ordinary woman, who is poor and only average-looking?

“He seems kind of grumpy, Sis Perla,” she said as she held the arm of the older woman, who just smiled at her.

“No, he’s not. He’s just quiet. If he doesn’t talk to you, don’t talk to him either because when he’s angry, he’ll definitely shout at you. But if you’re quiet, even if he’s mad, he won’t bother you. That’s just how he is. Just do your part because you’ll be staying here for a long time. Your grandmother’s sick, and it’s a blessing if she can work again in two weeks.” She explained.

She just nodded. That was really the reason her grandmother had sent her there. For the meantime, her grandmother wanted her to do the work while she was sick, especially when she got home from school. It didn’t matter to her as long as her grandmother got better, because if the elderly woman passed away, she might not be able to handle it. She wasn’t old yet, only fifty-seven, but the illness she was suffering seemed severe. She planned to take her to the doctor, but first, she needed to ask their señorito if he’d allow it.

Yza hugged the bed sheets, curtains, pillowcases, and comforters while standing at the door of Adam’s room, but she couldn’t bring herself to knock.Good grief. Her hands were trembling even though she wasn’t cold.She was nervous, and she didn’t even know why. Why did her employer have such unusual eye color, and why was he so mysterious? Now, her heart was racing. She hadn’t even entered yet, and she was already struggling to breathe, gasping when the door suddenly opened.She tightly gripped the extension rod of the hoover as she made eye contact with her employer, her chest tightening once again when she saw that he was only wrapped in a towel at the waist.She quickly lowered her head. How shameless of him.At first, she wanted to turn around and run away, but she felt like she was frozen to the spot.“Get in,” Adam said formally, easing the door open.Even though she was scared, Yza still followed. He probably wouldn’t do anything bad to her.As soon as she entered, she immediat

Chapter 3Yza caught a glimpse of a woman outside while she was wiping tables in the living room. She heard the voice of a woman shouting, “Adam, you son of a bitch! Get out! You animal!” The woman’s voice was so loud that Yza could hear it despite the mansion’s glass surroundings. It was clear that the woman was angry, given the bulging veins in her neck. Yza swallowed nervously and touched her own neck, feeling as if her vocal cords might snap, not the scandalous woman outside who seemed to have given birth to Satan himself with her string of profanities.“Damn you! You animal! Get out of there! You demon, Adam! Fuck you! You’re a son of a bitch! Son of a slut! Get out!!!” the woman continued to scream, almost hysterical with anger.Yza was perplexed about the woman’s identity and furrowed her brow. She appeared sophisticated but had an extremely sharp tongue, spewing foul language like a sewer.The woman was approaching the open door, and Yza tried to rush to close it to prevent he

CHAPTER 4Yza was walking down the hallway towards Adam's room after coming home from the hospital around six in the evening. The result of her CT scan was okay, and her grandmother needed her attention, so she was going to collect the cash her boss had mentioned. It was likely that the young man had already left since he had mentioned going to another country. That's probably why he left the hospital without saying goodbye, in such a hurry.After that, another nurse came to take her for some tests, and DJ accompanied her for a few hours. They chatted during that time. Then, one of Adam's men came to fetch her. DJ insisted on being the one to take her home, but Adam's employee was adamant about following his boss' orders that no one else should pick her up except for Adam's staff.She wasn't seriously hurt, but, of course, she followed her employer's instructions. Her face was reddened from the slaps she received, and she had bruises on her arms and neck. She acknowledged that it wasn

CHAPTER 5As soon as Yza entered he hallway, she felt like her heart was about to explode when she saw the door to Adamson's room. In the end, she chose to obey orders and follow rather than lie. She nervously bit her finger as she took small steps closer to the young man's room.She took a deep breath when she stood in front of the door before attempting to knock on it. Was it her fault earlier for thinking he had left the country? Apparently, he didn't leave and was doing something foolish inside his room with a woman. And then, they forgot to close the door, so she assumed there was no one inside.Was there still someone inside?"Damn you! This isn't enough! I want more of you, Adam!" She heard the woman's voice screaming, causing Yza to flinch. There was the woman.She didn't immediately hear a response from the person she was talking to. After a while, her employer spoke."But I don't want more of you. Get out. I don't want to see your face anymore. I paid you more than enough f

CHAPTER 6Yza gasped and screamed when something outside Adamson’s room walk-in closet broke. Her heart raced with fear as her hands trembled, especially when another loud noise, as if something was being slammed into the wall, followed. She went outside, clutching Adam’s polo shirts as she hurried out.Oh my goodness!She bit her lip as she saw the center table overturned and shattered. She could clearly see the darkness in his master’s face as he held a chair, seemingly ready to slam it into the wall. Just earlier, she had overheard him speaking on the phone, giving orders, but why was he now losing control like this?Did he have an enemy?She exclaimed, crying as she stood there, afraid that his anger might be directed at her.“Oh!” she screamed, flinching as he aggressively slammed the chair into the wall, shattering it into pieces.His dim, piercing eyes gazed at her, making her knees tremble with fear. His jaw tightened as he stared at her, and she was afraid that his anger migh

CHAPTER 7Yza still couldn’t get what happened to her last night out of her mind as she walked along the school pathway, hugging her bag. She couldn’t understand why she felt so sad because of how Adam had treated her. She didn’t feel regret, but why did she feel so heavy-hearted due to the insult she received? Did she look like a prostitute who needed payment?When she woke up, her master was gone. It seemed like he had left for another country, leaving her with a kiss she would always remember as an insult.“Hey!” Tiffany suddenly appeared by her side.She quickly turned to her friend, who had a big smile on her face.“Good morning, Ms. Brina. Why do you look like you’re mourning on a Monday?” Tiffany teased.Yza examined her friend closely and frowned, “Have you ever been paid after a kiss?”Tiffany was momentarily speechless, and then shook Yza’s shoulders. She was almost dizzy from the vigorous shaking of her friend.What the freak?“Oh my! Did DJ kiss you? Yahoo!” Tiffany scream

CHAPTER 8Yza gave DJ a simple smile as they stood facing each other at the gate of the De Lorenzo mansion. He had picked her up from school and was now escorting her home. Time was getting a bit tight because the group had to practice for their upcoming defense the next day. Due to DJ’s concern for her safety, he had called her to pick her up and make sure she would not take a taxi alone.“I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning,” DJ said to her, gently caressing her cheek as she clutched her Accounting books.She was about to nod when two of his employer’s men, who had a hostile look in their eyes, emerged from the gate. “He’s my friend,” she told them, but they just stared at her.“You can’t pick her up. We’ll take her to her school,” one of them, whose name she knew to be Shelton, said firmly, while the other, named Blake, agreed.Her mouth dropped open at what she heard. She glanced at DJ, who seemed to be getting irritated by the two.“What right do you have to say that? You didn’t ev

CHAPTER 9Yza fell asleep while waiting for the doctor to come out of the emergency room and for DJ to arrive. She immediately reached for her phone as soon as she opened her eyes, but it was no longer in her bag or in her hand."What's going on?" She looked around repeatedly, searching under the chair, but her phone was nowhere to be found.Who would take it? It's an old, phased-out Nokia E51. Why would anyone be interested in her broken phone? What kind of high-class hospital was this, and who would bother with her outdated device?Not far away, she noticed Blake standing and poking at something. Maybe he took my phone.She subtly stretched her neck to see what the man was poking at, and to her surprise, it was an expensive smartphone.Darn it! She slumped into a chair in frustration. She almost accused someone wrongly. It's impossible that he's the thief, given how nice the phone he's using is.But it wouldn't hurt to ask. She got up and walked over to the man leaning against the w

CHAPTER 10Yza’s car glided smoothly through the dark road, her gaze repeatedly checking her wristwatch. It took them a while to get going because Shelton had some tinkering to do with the car’s engine, and she had no idea what he was up to. It must have been about thirty minutes before they finished, and now they were probably close to DJ’s condo.Before they even reached their destination, Shelton drove the car through a fast food drive-thru, and with the multitude of items ordered, he piled them all on her and took one for himself.“What’s this? Why so much?” She asked, puzzled, looking at the pile of food.She was clueless because it seemed like food for ten people, and there were only three of them.“It’s an order from the boss. We’ll be in trouble if you get hungry,” Blake replied, glancing at her in the rearview mirror.Now her jaw dropped. She was genuinely amazed by everyone’s actions around her. It would take a lot of courage for her to say that her boss’ intentions were dif
