Fading facades: love beyond the deal

Dahil sa kalokohan ng kaibigan, ay napiliting mag-aral si Allysa sa isang unibersidad na ni minsan ay wala sa kanyang pagpipilian. Isa itong high-class university sa buong bansa ngunit mas gugustuhin pa niyang mag-aral sa ibang university huwag lamang dito. Gustuhin man niyang magback-out ngunit wala na siyang ibang pagpipilian sapagkat pasukan narin sa susunod na linggo at ang unibersidad lamang na ito ang tumaggap sa kanya. Labis pa niyang ipinagtaka na sa dami ng unibersidad na pinag-applyan niya ay wala ni isa sa mga ito ang nag-email sa kanya upang magbigay ng feedback. Labag man sa kanyang kalooban na mag-aral dito maging ang kanyang mga magulang, ay wala na silang magagawa sapagkat isa sa mga batas dito ay hindi na pwedeng mag-back out ang mga natanggap sa enrollment.

Ang lalakeng mas lalong magpapagulo sa kanyang buhay. "I won't let anyone to see your precious body, babe. No one or I'll not hesitate to kill them."
