Viviene's peaceful morning walk was ruined when a speeding black car splashes muddy water all over her. I glared at the back of the car while cursing it on my mind. Hindi man lang huminto ang sasakyan! Nagpatuloy lang ito. I quickly memorized it's plate number. Naiinis kong pinunasan ang t-shirt na nadumihan dahil sa nangyari. My peaceful morning was ruined because of that car! Just wait! I'll ruin you! Inis akong umuwi ng bahay. I walked slowly when I saw the car from earlier. It was parked in front of our house! I smirked. Makakabawi na rin ako sa wakas. Nilibot ko ang tingin ko sa paligid hanggang sa may nahagip akong putik sa may gilid. "Kung sinuswerte ka nga naman" saad ko sa aking sarili habang naglalakad patungo sa putik. I winced in disgust while scooping the mud. Agad kong pinunas sa sasakyan ang mga kinuha kong putik. I made sure na malalagyan ko ang harap. Pansin ko ang pagtingin ng mga taong napapadaan pero pinabayaan ko lang sila. I walked inside our house, only to find my brother's friend—Devin Raleigh Carter, the owner of the car that splashed mud all over my shirt.

"I will be your mistress, Adrian. Just let my family live." Adrian lifted his glass of wine. A faint smile curved his lips. "I thought they would send me the adopted daughter," he said, "I didn't expect you." "Everyone said your brother spoiled you like a princess. Turns out that was just a joke." The tip of the pen paused, stabbing a small blot of ink onto the paper. I signed my name, calm to the point of silence. The contract would take effect in three days. Then, I would cut all ties with the Willis name. I traded myself for the survival of the Willis family and my own permanent release.
