“You need a wife.” She said. “What makes you think that you are cut out to be my wife?” Oliver asked. The smug smile on his lips was the only indication that he didn’t find her suggestion offensive. “I am not like any of the other women you’ve been with before, Mr. Morton.” Seductively, she let her fingers draw patterns across his chest. “Ms. Sophia, are you aware that you’re playing a dangerous game?” He asked, capturing her fingers that were busily tickling the five o’clock shadow along his jawline. “I am.” But really, was she? But this was not the time to back out now. To second-guess herself. “But are you brave enough to play my game?” She dared, looking him directly in the eyes. Without giving him time to react, she kissed him. Damn! She knew she should stop. This man was her enemy, but her body wouldn’t let her. She missed this. Being wanted. Being desired. Being... No! Not love. This was not love. Oliver saw her as an object. A beautiful woman to conquer, nothing more. And she should feel the same way. No! She could not fall back into his charms. Armed with this realization, she busily let her other hand wander off until she felt it. The hard, metallic weapon that he put aside. Grabbing it, she immediately placed it on his temple, mimicking his action earlier. Then, she gradually pulled her lips away. “Are you gonna kill me now?” The great Mafia Don asked, but she could not see any trace of fear in his eyes as he stared at her. Only curiosity. “No, as I said, I’m not like the woman you’re used to. I know what I want, and I get it.” She said confidently, while slightly pushing her body harder against his. Damn! Her body still responded the same way to him, just as she remembered it. “And what do you want, Ms. Sophia?” He asked, lifting his hand to cradle her chin gently against his fingers. But he never attempted to remove the gun she had placed threateningly against his temple. The most feared man in the city just sat quietly, watching her. “As I said, marry me?” *** Amelia Clarke might have been the curvy, nerdy girl who was constantly bullied and mocked by everyone, but she still won the heart of the Quarterback King.

Ang sabi nila, ang pagpuputa raw ang pinakamatagal na propesiyon sa mundo. Lumaki at namulat ang dalagang si Carmina sa lugar kung saan namumugad ang mga beteranang pokpok--ang Caloocan. Sa lugar nila, walang mga bata o kapitbahay ang huhusga sa 'yo kung pagbibenta ng katawan ang ikinabubuhay mo. Talamak ang pagbibenta ng puri dito at halos lahat ay kapit-patalim, may maipanlaman lamang sa kumakalam na sikmura. Kaya naman, nagawang ipangako ni Carmina sa sarili na hinding-hindi siya tutulad sa kaniyang ina na isang bayarang babae. Hinding-hindi niya ibibenta ang sarili kapalit lamang ng pera. Hindi siya papayag na mabuntis ng kung sinong lalaki at hayaang lumaki ang kaniyang anak nang walang ama. Ngunit sadyang mapaglaro ang tadhana, at ang trabahong isinusuka niya noon, ay ang mismong trabaho na kakapitan niya ngayon.
