chapter 3

Jacob Monteclaro Pov.

It's past eleven when I wake up,

Holding my head I sat on the bed with my eyes closed, I wasn't drunk last night but why is my headache. F*ck,

You weren't drunk but your head hurt at the thought of that woman, the thought of not bringing her home didn't put me to sleep! His mysterious face is what awakens my mind so I can hardly sleep well.

I walked on my sidetable while cressing my head, Its killing me hardly! D*mn, I took the painkiller there and drank it. I shuddered as I walked to the bathroom to bathe it in my headache.

Just now this happened to me, A novice confused my mind. Tch,

When I finished taking a shower I sat on the bed while drying my hair, I thought what good to do now to distract from the mind of the masked woman.

His soft lips,

Her voice, Even struggling I like that.

D*mn it Jacob!

Irritated I got up and went to the kitchen to brew a drink, I own the condo, And my day is very boring today. If I could have included that woman here I would definitely have lost my headache.

Tsk.

I'm out of breath sipping coffee, I'll also have fun tomorrow because I'm sure there will be a lot of busy things to do at university. First day of school tomorrow, And even though I'm lazy I try to get in to forget that woman.

He shouldn't even think about it, Women are just a headache. And they should just be rolled around in your hands.

I walked into the living room and sat there, Sadness visited me again because of the picture that opened up to me, The two important people smiling as they hugged me. If only they were here my life would be happier. But since they died it was as if I was dead alive.

The people who adopted me and cared for me, Were only once taken back, The one I considered my father who died because of the hunt.

I can’t forgive the one who did it, even though many years later it’s still fresh in my mind how mommy cried in grief and was deprived of life in bereavement.

I hate that man.

I leaned on the sofa at the same time as my cellphone rang, I picked it up and when I saw giovanni calling I answered.

"What?" My opening is rude,

He sneezed "Where are you running man?"

"I'm here in the unit."

"Tsk, What are you doing there! You forgot, the entrance is open .."

"So?

"What so! We're here in fatima, I'm with philip and miguel, Were waiting for you. Hurry up!" I took the cellphone away because of his loud voice, Tsk. What am I going to do there if the entrance is still open. I was about to answer when he suddenly lowered the line.

I stood holding my head, D*mn. Why is the medicine not effective. I want to sleep but when I think that that woman in the dream will visit me again, it's not like that.

Much better to go out.

When I got dressed, I went straight downstairs to get in the car. I turned on the engine and drove it to Fatima University.

_

FATIMA PARKINGLOT.

I got out of the car and looked away, I saw them waiting in front. Giovanni who is irritable, Philip who is talking to two women in uniform. While miguel was leaning near the guard post. There is no one around.

I walked closer so miguel straightened up, Salubong raised an eyebrow. "Your late .." he said, turned around and let me in first.

"That man's problem ..." I asked Philip,

"Your grandfather always has a problem, you keep asking ..." he said, I turned to giovanni.

"What's up?"

"Get a schedule for tomorrow, you forgot. Tsk, I told you that women are left out and don't put it in your mind ..." I looked at him.

"What are you saying!"

"Uh, it's just Maang-maangan. Where did you go with the masked woman?"

I averted my eyes "Nothing .."

"Weh, why don't you say?" philip groaned, I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Mind your own philip! Stop me two ..." I passed them and followed miguel who had come a long way, Tsk. This one has its own world at all times.

"Looks like nothing happened to them ..." Philip whispered to the side, I didn't look back. I walk straight until I can match miguel.

"What a face, Nothing really happened. Tsk poor Jacob Natigang one night." I turned to giovanni with an evil look,

"Stop bringing back what happened last night, You helpless ones!"

"Why are you so affected?" miguel groaned, I looked at it.

"What's affected, Im not. Duh!"

"Duhh!" chorus shout of the two so I almost beat them.

"Shut up!" I growled and started to walk, tsk, can I help you.

I get even more annoyed,

The next time we actually meet that woman she won't be able to say no to me. If I have to use all my money I will do it to show them that I am not defeated.

When I got to the middle hallway I turned to the three, They were walking at the same time while those they encountered could not help but look at it.

We almost hold all the attention here within the university, no one is unfamiliar with 'min, Of course especially me.

I smiled so the two almost laughed at me.

"Hes crazy .." naiiling na ani philip.

"Yeah, inherited love ..." giovanni added.

I just ignored them when they heard, You worthless companions.

"Your way is on the other side ..." said miguel, pointing to the criminology building.

"Yes, let's just meet in the cafeteria later to go home .."

"Okay, I'm going in my department .." he said once turning away, He is the only cullinary among us. He graduated in HRM but still continues his studies.

While philip is the bussiness taken because of his parents, Giovanni is an Engr. not only is it obvious in his temperament that he is smart, He is the literal playboy of us all.

"Your treat today jacob, you left us last night so you'll be the one to feed us today ..." giovanni whispered to me.

"You're really dead hungry, tsk." I was sick, they laughed. "I'll be ahead of you ..." I couldn't wait for them to speak, I walked towards the department I was going to enter.

When I entered the room, I sat in the far seat. I was in my second year. So the ones with me here inside only have almost familiar faces. Unchanged, I am still the most handsome.

I was shaken until the terror teacher who is also our adviser came in now, He only said a little discussion in front of me before giving our schedule for tomorrow, He also left so I was almost annoyed with giovanni. Even tomorrow I'll get it, if he could still shout on the phone earlier it's like I can't get in without it.

Tsk, If it's more boring in the condo, it's twice as much here in the university. I had a sudden trip.

Meet my eyebrows down the building, past the women looking at me. I'm not in the mood to flirt right now, Women are just consistent.

Fraudsters.

"Jacob!" I turned to giovanni when I got down, he took a big step to get closer to me.

"I thought I'd last an hour there, tsk. The prof didn't even say anything." it insists,

"You're so eager to study. It doesn't matter what happened today." I sighed and went straight to the cafeteria, Like us, Philip and Miguel were already there. Nothing seems to have happened to them either.

Maybe tomorrow everyone will really start discussing.

"Oh mygod! Jacob!" suddenly the woman in the cafeteria screamed, She grabbed everyone's attention.

"So handsome!"

"Very much! He's single now because they don't have samantha anymore, Yiee."

"Omo! For real!"

"Yeah!"

We passed their table, Until now the rumor on our issue with samantha has not been removed. My Ex girlfriend, Every time I hear her name I feel like throwing up.

I was sick of her flirtation. He just wasted my time.

I raised my eyebrows and sat in our regular place, vanz almost laughed when he saw that there was food on the table, philip also laughed. The two bal*w really get along.

"He said you're free, Um I ordered ..." said miguel, I just nodded to him and took the cooked food.

I was in the middle of eating when suddenly there was more than a chair by my side, I looked at it. And when I saw it, I almost lost my appetite.

"Can I Join here, Adonis boys .." he said kindly, philip nodded smiling at me so I looked at him.

"Ops, Thankyou .." He turned to 'kin. "Ow babe, Hello. How's your schedule?" I looked at it with a blank expression so the smile he had was erased.

"We breakup lastnight samantha, What are you doing here?" I was cold, it saddened me.

"I didn't agree on that, Babe."

"Shut up and leave, I dont need your approval!" he felt worse.

"Will you trade me for a masked woman?" My forehead furrowed, How did he know. "A prostitute and a woman to pay, Is your standard for a woman so low now ..." she grinned, so I fought it with my gaze.

After what happened, here he is, After he used my friend then. Here he is and he will talk to me as if nothing had happened, Tsk.

"What would you do if he was the one I hit?" he stumbled. "I'm of no use to you, I've tasted what you have and I won't repeat it to you ..." I stood up and marched out of the cafeteria, I still heard the whisper but no one looked at me.

My day was ruined because of that woman.

I crashed into the car and almost slammed the steering wheel because of the irritated feeling in my chest. The thickness of his face, After I give it a second chance he will just fool me again.

Tsk, Of all the women, why do I still love the cheater. The two years I spent with him were just wasted, He was worthless.

All women are worthless.

Shaira pov

(Dealing)

I've been here for over a month and I've almost saved up somehow. I haven't seen the man kissing suddenly for over two weeks. I don't know why I can't get his handsome face and his soft lips out of my mind. Even if his lips touched mine quickly, I will never forget that.

I'm disgusted with myself because I'm affecting that man, And what's even more annoying is that nothing seems to have happened to him.

Bwist, That needs to be erased from my mind!

Erase! Erase, I should just focus on the plan.

Exhale, Exhale. I took a deep breath, I look bal*w ignorant because of what I'm going to do. I was shaken to sit on the bed, Erase the man from the city in your mind. There should be no obstacle to the plan 'you can save.

Thinking of my savings I looked under the bed, pulled out the bag containing my belongings. I smiled to see how much money I had saved, natasha is right, the income is strong here. That's all you have to dance in front of a lot of men. Even though I am self-deprecating, I still try to save so that I can save enough money. I still need a large amount to go home to the province.

Suddenly the door opened so I put the money back in the bag again, I slipped it under to see natasha holding her cellphone. He presented that and I saw mama calling.

I have already talked to mama about my situation, just in case I told a lie. I didn't let him know that I work in a night club and give comfort to men, He just knew what I said so he wouldn't worry, I don't want that to happen.

"Hello ma, did you get a call?" I opened, natasha remained listening to the side. But when I heard mama's sobbing on the other line I was alarmed.

"What's the matter?" I asked incredulously, I stood up and waited for his answer.

"M-mayumi kasi." Her speech was interrupted because she could not pronounce what she wanted to say because of her crying. But I knew something bad had happened.

"What happened to Mayumi? Did her illness attack her again?" I asked, trying to stabilize myself even though I was nervous about finding out.

My youngest brother has a heart disease. He can't be operated on because we don't have enough money. He used to go back to the hospital once, so the day came when we were full of debt. I am very grateful to our neighbors there because they help us whenever we are in dire financial straits.

"K-we're currently in the hospital, Son. S-we rushed mayumi because she's having trouble breathing, M-there's l-blood coming out of her. A-the doctor says k-she needs to be operated on if h-not maybe his body will suddenly give up if he hasn't been caught yet .. "

I sat up in bed because it said, An operation takes over half a million. Where can I get such a large amount, I cried forever because I thought my brother was in danger. Natasha suddenly came up to me to touch me.

"When does it need surgery?" I tried not to stutter in my speech, Mama is weak when it comes to my youngest brother. If I make me feel weak nothing will happen. I have to be strong so that he can be complacent somehow.

"It's inside, he's still under observation. But his doctor said don't prolong the operation. I'm sure he'll be opened tomorrow."

"S-sige ma ..." I swallowed before continuing to say. "I don't have any money here, don't worry. I'll do everything just to operate on Mayumi ..." I wiped the tears from my cheeks.

"S-thank you son, I'm sorry and you have to do this .."

"I have an obligation to my brothers and sisters, and even if it's hard, I'll do it so that they don't suffer. As long as you agree with what the doctor wants, I'll call again when I've found the money ..."

"All right, son. M-be careful there ..." I lowered the line while wiping my tears again, I handed it to natasha who obviously heard what we were talking about.

"You need money for operation .." I nodded, crying at the fact that there was nothing to do. But I have to act, I'm only chasing time.

"My youngest brother, he has a heart disease. His body can't take it anymore so he needs to be operated on ..." I said first, I bit my lower lip to stop choking. "I need money.."

It nodded. "I know." he sighed. "Do you want to deal tonight, the money you earn will help you. But you know the price .."

I close my eyes to what he said, This is what I hate the most but it seems like I will do it to save my brother's life.

"How much will I get?"

"It depends on the customers .."

"Half a million is enough for me ..." I said and was again disturbed at the thought of who would buy me that amount.

I don't know what can happen but I will try.

"I can't say that it will amount to a million. The first deal that will take place is only at Fifty 'Mil ..." I closed my eyes.

Tsk.

"But don't worry, I'll help you. I'll take care of you ..." I smiled sadly after he said that. Somehow I sympathized with my problem.

The night I've been waiting for has come, natasha mentioned that to ma'ma so she almost celebrated it. That old man will get a big commission because the viewers will put out a lot of money.

I just wish I could end up with a non -violent man, It’s depressing to think that I experienced this at such a young age. I have no one else to turn to, And I'm the only one mama expects right now. I had no choice but to do against my will.

Everything will also pass away.

The door of my room opened, natasha entered there with the money looking like my boss. He was smiling, and with the sheer size of his smile you could mistake him for winning the lotto. After all, it was as if he had won the lottery because of my decision.

I want to hit him, but when I think he's old I just calm myself down. Then maybe when I lose my mind.

"Natasha probably told you the policy on dealing. It starts at fifty. And if you're lucky it will reach a million, depending on the people watching of course ..." he tapped my shoulder so my hair would almost stand on end , Josko lord. Forgive me if I have done anything wrong to this old man.

"Good night for a beautiful person like you. Don't be too close to what you can buy because I don't want to ruin my people, remember that ..." he grinned before he faced natasha without even an expression on his face.

"Fix that and beautify it, I'll be downstairs to announce that he'll be out in an hour ..." He turned around without erasing the smirk on his lips, I took a deep breath to reduce my rage. head here.

Lecheng that old man. Delicious white hair extraction!

"Are you alright?" natasha suddenly asked, I smiled.

"No, I'm disgusted. And it's like I want to kill the old ukluban!" it laughed, so I smirked at him.

"Old people are just like that. It looks like money .."

"Tsk, that's too much for your boss. He looks like he's five hundred greedy for money!"

it nodded "Literally five hundred !." he approached, shouldering me. "I have to fix you. All I can advise you is to pray."

"You scare me especially!" I was sick, he laughed.

"At first it hurts, but you'll enjoy it after a while ..."

"P*ny*ta!" it almost made me laugh at my behavior, as if I would throw up if I thought an old man could buy me.

I'm sure I'm old, Who is my age with millions of dollars! I am tempted to think that. Bwist!

___

Exactly one hour when I can get ready, I look like I'm going to fight the thickness of the lipstick on my appearance, And shyly the cristmast light approached me with the sheen of my clothes, I'm really ready to pay and enslave the man who can buy me.

I'm nervous.

I took a deep breath before touring the sight around, we had just come out and people were almost waiting outside. I'm still wearing my mask because it's part of the plan. When it reaches more than a hundred thousand, I'll have to take it off to make the male viewers like it more.

It's as if I'm about to pee on twitter, My palm is getting cold and even my whole body. I just want to finish tonight.

"I hope one of the adonis can buy you, you know. Those who were with you last night ..." I was even more nervous because of what natasha said.

"Are they there?" it nodded, laughing at my reaction.

"HAHA Yes, with your dad Jacob .." I bit my lower lip, here he is and will witness the embarrassment I will do.

If only he could buy me.

I was shocked at the thought, Why is he suddenly the one I want!

When I looked to the side he was in his place, in uniform. Obviously going to school, it was just seriously drinking as if deep in thought.

I just hope he gets me.

"Hey, Shai. Jacob's handsome HAHA." I averted my eyes from it, pest. That man seems to have forgotten me.

"Not much, just right to look human .."

"Wow ha, Seye pe telege nanggaling yen .." I stared at him with his shrinking voice, It's also the strength to annoy someone.

"Come on!" he later said, I lost my condition because that man didn't even look at me.

That's right natasha, she's handsome.

And being as handsome as he is would not waste time someone like me.

Provincial pay, That's now what I can compare myself to.
