In exchange of my heart, my body and maybe even my soul. Binili na niya.

Nahagip ng mga mata ko ang dati naming mansion. It has guards awaiting. Nang makapasok kami sa malaking gate ay sinalubong agad kami ng mga kasambahay. Limang kasambahay. All provided by him. Sumunod din na pumarada ang sasakyan ni Santi bago siya tuluyang lumabas dito.

" Nakahanda na po ang mga kuwarto niyo ma'am" Untag nung isang kasambahay na nakangiti. Ngumiti naman pabalik si mama. They both went inside. Hinayaan ko na lamang silang pumasok. They must have missed it. Napagdesisyonan kong maiwan muna at hintayin si Santi.

" Let's go inside, lunch is ready. Ayokong nagugutom ka" He muttered as he approached me. As usual, his voice sounded demanding. I've been used to it anyways.

Lots of foods were served. Parang may salu-salo. Nauna na kami ni Santi sa mesa habang hinihintay sila papa. Under the table, he entwined our fingers. He even kissed it.

Ramdam ko ang init ng kaniyang palad.

Ilang minuto ay dumating narin sila papa. They immediately sat down and we started eating.

" How much is the house?" Tanong ni papa habang naghihiwa ng steak.

" Hindi ko po hinihingi ang bayad ng bahay. Binibigay ko po sa inyo ng libre" Sagot ni Santi.

Liar! Libre? Kailan pa ako naging libre?

" And you married my daughter bacause?" Tanong ulit ni papa

" Bacause I love her sir. So much" Simpleng sagot niya.

" So much that according to my daughter, you are willing to help me win the candidacy? Just for the name of love?" My dad inquired.

" I don't want to lie sir. But yes. Because of Martee." Tanging sagot niya. Tumango si papa.

" And you married my daughter against my will" Malamig na untag ulit ni papa.

" I'd definitely repeat it all over again just to have her even if it's against your will. I need your daughter in my life sir because she is my life. Please understand that being governor to this province is a commitment but being a husband to your daughter is my destiny. Hayaan niyo pong patunayan ko sa inyo na bukod tangi ko ang anak niyo. I don't want a cold war against you. Nagkamali man ako noon, sana po ay mapatawad ninyo ako. I didn't know you were innocent that time because if only I'd have the slightest idea of the truth, I'll make the tables turn and I would have gone against my mother. I'm making amends sir. Please accept me. Forgive me. Not just for our family but for the people we will lead" He stated calmly.

Right. Because he knows I come as a package and he's doing sweet talking to my father. Persuasive.

" Very well then, when will the campaign start?" My father asked. Santi smiled.

" In two days, we will start with the campaign" Ngiting tagumpay ang nakikita ko sa mukha ni Santi. I think my father just fell on his persuasive speech.

GABI NA NG UMUWI kami ni Santi sa bahay niya. He's in the mood right now. Wala na siyang ginawa kundi ang makipaglaro kay papa ng chess at makipag inuman dito. He's spending money and time just to win my father's heart at pati narin si mama. Pinagbigyan niya agad ang luho nitong magpasalon.

" You don't need to make my parents love you Santi" I told him while fixing myself to take a shower.

" You cannot blame a son in law wanting to be accepted by his wife's parents. When I married you, they became part of my responsibility too." He just made me swallow my bad thoughts.

" But you told them lies and deception. Sinabi mo kay papa na walang kapalit ang pagbabalik mo sa amin ng bahay kahit alam nating pareho na merong kapalit" I told him as I entered the shower room. Sumunod naman agad siya. I rolled my eyes as I saw him remove his clothes.

" You're taking things too seriously, Martee. He damn knows I am doing these things because of you. Your heart is the payment. If only money could buy me your love, I'd spend it all for you." He said before he started kissing my back.

" And you will end up being a poor man" I moaned.

" No I won't. Magtatrabaho ako. Sisiguraduhin kong hindi ako maghihirap dahil baka iwan mo ako. I made damn sure I have a lot of savings before offering you my name." His hands started making wonders to my body.

" And now that I am your Mrs. Villamor, aren't you scared I might spend all your money and leave you a poor man?" I countered. He continually kissed me.

" You can try. You have all the privilege of spending my money. It's yours after all. Para sa 'yo naman lahat ng ipon ko. You are my family. You are my wife" He whispered before entering me slowly.

" Ahh shit" I moaned.

" Ang sikip mo parin, ahh fuck" Ungol niya habang patuloy na gumagalaw sa likod ko.

How can I ruin someone I cannot even remove from my system?

With every thrust he makes, he made me feel heaven on earth. He filled me with every drop of his semen as he whispered words that made me stay awake during the night.

" You will never leave me, Martee. Akin ka lang"
