She started plotting plans in mind on her way there. She had high hopes of starting a brand new life.

Little did she know, her dream of living a peaceful and simple life in the valley will never be her reality after she was held captive by one of the greatest, hottest, but merciless ranchers, Zakynthos Ysla.

PROLOGUE

Prologue

Annekje Solana Rothschild

“Eat me… make me cum with your mouth, Zante.” I whispered to him while catching my breath.

Natigil siya sa paghalik sa aking leeg at napatitig sa mga mata ko.

“Do you know how to properly pleasure a woman?”

Imbes na magsalita ay inangat niya lang ang sarili palayo sa akin. Naitukod ko ang mga siko sa banig na hinihigaan. We were at the stables. Naabutan niya ako doon and now we’re about to fuck again.

“Marunong ka ba or you want me to teach you how?”

The side of his lips rose at that, mukhang hindi makapaniwala sa mga naririnig sa akin. Bago pa ako muling makapagsalita ay napahiyaw na ako nang marahas niyang higitin ang aking mga hita at walang sabi iyong marahas na ibinuka.

“Zante…” nabibigla kong naisara ang mga iyon.

“Ibuka mo. I’ll give you want you want so spread it widely, Anni. I will fuck you with my mouth. I’ll make you cum.”

I did what he said without hesitation. Nanuyo ang lalamunan ko sa muli niyang pagbaba at paglapit ng mukha niya sa aking tiyan. He placed his mouth back to my skin while locking eyes with me. My body heated more when his tongue began tracing my navel until he finally place his face right in front of my already dripping pussy.

I shiver when his nose sniffed my scent. Halos masabunutan ko siya doon pa lang. Para na akong magdedeliryo nang hawiin niya ang panty ko sa isang gilid. Ni wala na siyang panahong tanggalin pa ’yon. 

I’ve never been this wet but the thought of his mouth and tongue fucking and licking every part of my pussy until I cum make me gush in anticipation and so much lust. Para akong lalagnatin.

“You fucking smell so good…” he whispered with a flick of his flat tongue up my slit.

Pinigilan kong mapaungol pero natalo ako.

“You’ve been wanting this, do you?”

“Y-yes… ohhh!” I shamelessly groaned when he traced my slit down and then back up again with his slippery tongue. 

Tuluyan ko na siyang nasabunutan nang hindi na niya ako binigyan pa ng pagkakataong magsalita. His tongue worked its way in my slit, between my folds, licking the length of my labia up to my clit and then pausing to suck and attack it. I felt the build up of my orgasm within minutes of him proving himself to me.

Gosh, it was embarrassing to even ask him if he knew how to pleasure a woman because what he was doing right now is amazing. Nakuha niya kaagad ang kiliti ko. I feel like he’s sending me to hell because my body felt like literally on fire!

Oh gosh… that mouth… that tongue… the way it went inside me and move like it was looking for a treasure was incredible!

“Z-Zante…ahhh… ang sarap…” napasabunot na ako sa kanya.

“You’re cumming already?”

“You’re a pro, I get it. Ohhh… fuck…”

I watched him held my pussy lips apart so his tongue could fuck my hole easier. He began driving me wild. My hips were bucking up and down to help him fuck me. Now I’m craving for his cock inside me and Zante fucking me like a whore.

Tangina, he is making me wild!

“Z-Zante… malapit na… more—ohhh!” I screamed, my eyes rolled at the back of my head when his finger joined his mouth to pleasure me at the same time.

His tongue move to an achingly slow circle on my clit as his middle finger started to bury in and out of me. Hindi natapos ang paggalaw ng balakang ko upang salubungin ang kanyang daliri.

A minute later, he added another finger inside, exploring my femininity and discovering pleasures I didn’t know existed. It was wild.

His mouth kept licking and sucking my already swollen clit. He pumped his fingers in and out of my femininity like a bus diving down a hill. He did the same pace over and over again until my thighs squeeze against his head, fighting to keep control of my body but my orgasm already dominated me.

“Zante!”

Hindi niya tinigilan ang pagdila at pagpapaligaya sa akin. I kept cumming and cumming. My legs were shaking. My eyes were closed and my head was tilted back in ecstasy.

My teeth graze as he continued sucking and licking me clean. Hinang-hina ang katawan ko at baliw na baliw ako sa sarap!

Oh heaven and hell! Fuck!

“Look at me, Anni.” He demanded after the convulsion of my body stopped.

Pagod kong idinilat ang mga mata upang titigan siya. He wiped the side of his lips and smirked at me.

“You really came that fast, huh?”

“I came hard.”

“Good. Do I still need the lesson or not?” Nakangisi niyang tanong na hindi ko na nasagot dahil sa pag-alis niya sa harapan ko ay nalaglag na ang mata ko sa kanyang nakatayong pagkalalaki.

“Want to return the favor? Marunong ka?”

I rolled my eyes at him. We both laughed at that. Umahon ako sa pagkakahiga at gumapang palapit sa kanya.

“Teach me, sir,” I said, now holding his hard shaft and slowly licking its head like my favorite lollipop. “Cum fast so you can fuck me hard. I miss you inside me, Zante… I miss you and I need you so fucking bad.”

CHAPTER 1

Chapter One

Passion and Purpose

“Follow your passion and it will lead you to your purpose.”

I always read that quote everywhere I go and it once became my motto in life. It motivated me to do what makes me happy—what makes me feel alive so it’s safe to say that I did follow my passion. I started it five years ago but it lead me to something else except my purpose. It lead me to anxiety, depression, insomnia, shame, and fucking ninety-nine others.

I almost spit when the words in my head became bitter I tasted every single letter of it. Mapait akong pilit na napangiti habang nakadungaw sa bintana ng bus na mabilis na bumabaybay sa kalsadang may mga berdeng bulubundukin kaliwa’t kanan habang tirik ang araw. Kahit na naiirita ako sa mga dalang manok ng pasaherong nasa bandang likuran ng bus ilang pagitan sa pwesto ko at matinding amoy anghit ng babaeng katabi ko ay hindi ako nagreklamo.

At this point, I already had so much joke happening on my life that made me numb and this is nothing. Uncomfortable, but too easy to deal with. Para bang na-prepare na ako sa moment na ’to.

Kung sabagay, it’s a small price to pay leaving what used to be the dream—the only dream I had that turned into a whole series of

awful

nightmare.

Napakurap-kurap ako. Pinipigilan ang pagtulo ng mga luha habang ang mga mata ay titig na titig pa rin sa labas ng bintanang maalikabok na dahil sa rough road na nadaraanan.

I don’t know where I am, but I know I’ll be happy where I’ll end up. Ang importante lang naman sa ngayon ay makalayo ako. Malayong-malayo sa mga taong nakakakilala sa akin.

Gano’n naman siguro lahat ng tao. Kapag mabigat na at masyado nang masakit, gusto na lang nilang maglaho. I actually want that. I honestly could pick the easiest way and that is to kill myself for all of this misery to end but what’s the fun in that?

I am Rothschild. I am part of one of the greatest, wealthiest, and most powerful family in the country and abroad. I don’t think I was born here just to kill myself. I am better than that. Kahit na parang iyon na lang ang option na ibinibigay sa akin ng mundo sa akin lalo na pagkatapos ng lahat ng mga maling nagawa ko ay hindi ako susuko. I will give death a fucking hell before he can get me.

Nakatulugan ko ang lahat ng mga pag-iisip. Sa aking muling paggising ay madilim na. Kung hindi pa nga ako ginising ng aleng katabi ko at sinabing kailangang na naming bumaba dahil sasakay na kami sa roro ay hindi pa ako magigising.

Hindi na muling napahinga ang utak ko. My phone kept vibrating in my pocket as the ship sail the calmest sea. Sa unang pagkakataon, ilang oras bago ko napagpasyahang iwan ang lahat ng kung anong mayroon ako ay ngayon ko lang ulit nahawakan ang phone ko.

I stopped myself from crying when I saw Kath, my best friend’s text. Then my fingers automatically scrolled through my social media accounts like it was a drug my body was craving.

Sa unang pagkakataon din ay muli kong naramdaman ang paggising ng excitement sa puso ko matapos makita ang mga photos na na-i-save ko sa pupuntahang lugar.

I’m an orophile. Bata pa lang ako ay mahilig na ako sa mga bundok. I just love seeing mountains. It was like a lover calling me every time especially when I needed it the most. It was therapy for me. Kaya nang magpasyang umalis ay hindi na ako nagdalawang-isip pa sa lugar na pupuntahan, as if I was meant to be there.

Napapitlag ako nang makita ang pagtawag ni Kath. I swallowed the bile on my throat as I stare at it for seconds. I wasn’t planning on saying goodbye to anyone but I just can’t put my best friend through endless of worry so I answered her call, even one last time.

“Kath.”

“Please don’t tell me you finally left, Anni. Please tell me you’re just taking a break and you’re going back.”

“I left,” sagot kong wala nang paligoy-ligoy.

“N-no.”

“This is for the best, Kath. I’m sorry kung hindi ko kaagad nasabi, but you knew it’s coming right?”

“But, Anni… paano ang trabaho mo? Ang properties mo? Ang mga taong nagmamahal sa ’yo? Your family?”

“You knew my family wants me dead a long time ago. Matagal na panahon na nila akong tinalikuran at kailan man hindi na gusto pang makita. I’m at the right time to leave and just be gone, Kath. I needed to… for myself. I have to save myself.”

“Can you at least tell me where you’re going?” Her voice finally breaks.

Naiiyak na rin ako dahil nai-imagine ko ang hitsura niyang nasasaktan ngayon. I hate picturing that to my mind.

“I can’t do that. I’m sorry, Katherine.”

“Annekje—”

“I’ll be fine whenever I’m going. I’ll make sure of that so don’t worry about me, alright? I gotta go now. You knew what to tell everyone. Ikaw na ang bahala sa lahat. I now leave everything to you. Everything that I build and acquired is all yours now. Take care of it.”

“I doubt that your family—”

Pinatay ko na ang tawag. Mariin akong napapikit at pagkatapos ay agad na tumayo patungo sa malamig at bakal na barandilya ng roro. I took one more deep breath before raising my hand with the latest iPhone I bragged on my social media accounts months ago and throw it to the sea.

Hiningal ako sa ginawa pero mayroong sumibol na tuwa sa aking puso. It was liberating—as if that was a mandatory thing to do even if my life once depend on it. My phone was my life. And it’s not anymore. Dahil iyon ang huling hiblang kayang kumonekta sa buhay na iiwan ko ay kailangan ko na ring pakawalan.

I watched the sea for minutes. The stars were bright tonight and it cheered me up a bit. I contemplated for minutes while staring blankly at the sea and then the bright sky. I heave as I tried searching for any regret in my heart but didn’t find one.

Sa aking pagbalik sa loob ng roro at maupo ay natahimik ako. Nagpasyang muling matulog at sa aking muling paggising ay maliwanag na.

May kung ano sa pagkatao kong gustong magtatatalon matapos makita ang pier sa lugar kung saan ako magsisimula ng panibagong buhay malayong-malayo sa nakagisnan ko at sariling sikap na binuo.

I couldn’t hide the wide smile on my face after seeing the big signage at the port that says, Welcome to Masbate. Shame that I don’t have a phone to take a photo of it.

I took a tricycle outside the port. Nagtanong-tanong lang ako hanggang sa makarating sa sakayan ng van patungo sa liblib na lugar na kinaroroonan ng mga pinakamalalaking rancho sa lugar na ang tawag ay Diamond Valley.

I heard so much about the place since I was a kid. It was not a secret town but not everyone dares to come visit it. Isa sa mga kasambahay namin noon ay nanirahan roon at kahit na kaliwa’t kanan ang mga hindi magagandang kwento niya sa lugar ay hindi ako no’n napigilan.

Five hours later, I arrived. Pababa na ang araw nang ibaba ako sa nag-iisang lumang waiting shed sa pinakadulo ng Diamond Valley. Walang tricycle. Walang mga kabahayan. Wala kahit ano bukod sa mga bakang nakapastol sa kapatagan ilang dipa ang layo sa waiting shed.

I never bother asking the driver where should I go next. I heard him say something before leaving me but I did not understand it. His face looked worried though so I guess he was just telling me to take care and try not be killed.

The thought put a sarcastic smile on my face. Good thing the mountains grab my attention and shift my focus. I was again completely mesmerize by the view so all I did was let myself get lost to it.

Sa paggalaw ng mga paa ko ay hindi na ako huminto. I walked towards the green pasture. Inangat ko ang mga alambreng bakod at lumusot papasok doon.

My heart began pounding and pounding as my feet began walking fast. Kusang bumitiw ang mga kamay ko sa hawak na duffel bag at walang sabi nang tumakbo patungo sa pinakamalapit na burol.

I throw my hands up in the air. Nagsimulang yakapin ng panghapon at sariwang hangin ang aking katawan. I closed my eyes as I continue to run. Bago ako makarating sa tuktok ng burol ay hinapo na ako.

I dropped myself on the grass. Sa paghiga ko ay wala sa sariling lumabas ang matamis na halakhak sa aking bibig. I was laughing with myself. Sa ilang taong lumipas ay ngayon ko lang ulit naramdaman ang ganitong klase ng kasiyahan at kalayaan. It was so good I got tears in my eyes.

Ilang minuto kong hinayaan ang sarili sa gano’ng posisyon. I gently closed my eyes and try not to bother myself with the bigger problem of where I’m going to live and start. Imbes na ’yon ay hinayaan ko na lang ang sariling namnamin ang pagkakataon.

My eyes felt heavy in an instant as my lungs breathe the fresh air and smell of grass. My body was instantly relaxed in just a couple of minutes and I knew I was about to fall asleep, but the peace I was letting myself sink into was interrupted by the sound of a loud horse galloping towards my direction!

Bago pa ako makadilat ay sunod ko nang narinig ang baritonong boses ng isang lalaki kasabay nang pagkasa nito sa dalang shotgun at pagtutok sa akin!

Wala akong nagawa kung hindi ay manatili sa aking pwesto at itaas na lang ang mga kamay habang inaaninag ang mukha ng lalaking nakasakay sa kayumangging kabayo.

Shit . I cursed. My heart went immediately on my throat!

“P-please don’t hurt me. I’m unarmed a-and…”

Hindi ko naituloy ang sasabihin nang tuluyan bumalandra sa akin ang kanyang mukha matapos lumihis ang shotgun na hawak niya.

He was literally the hottest cowboy you exactly see in movies. Rugged, handsome, muscular, tan, has a perfect and powerful chiseled jaw, and even while sitting on his horse I knew he was tall.

Nanuyo ang lalamunan ko sa kanyang presensiya pero hindi ko napigil ang sariling suriin pa ang kanyang kabuuan. He was wearing black boots, denim pants, white shirt, and a black cowboy hat. His thick eyebrows were in one line hovering his dark eyes, but other than that and the fact that he was about to shoot me with a shotgun, I didn’t feel scared. Kung mayroon man, iyon ang paghanga. I always wanted to meet a real cowboy and hell I am not disappointed. It was perfectly what I had in mind and in my deepest fantasies, he gave me more.

“I-I’m Anni. I am not here to cause any trouble, but I could use your help—”

“You’re trespassing.” He cut me off.

Damn, even his low resonant voice was so good it tickles my insides! His diction was fucking sexy too!

Sinubukan kong tumayo pero agad akong napapitlag nang paputukin niya ang hawak na shotgun sa ere upang pigilan ako!

Damn, this cowboy wasn’t playing!

“Shit!”

“I said you are fucking trespassing!”

“And I fucking heard you the first time! Shit! Shit!” Histerikal kong bulyaw sa kanya, ngayon ay natatakot na!

He must be gorgeous but I forgot that he could be a killer! Putang ina wala pa namang nakakakilala sa akin dito at mukhang ni isang tao ay wala rin akong mahihingan ng tulong kahit magsisisigaw ako! Ito na ba ang sinasabi ng driver ng van?!

Tangina mo naman manong bakit hindi mo nilinaw

na literal may mamamatay tao rito

?!

I jumped when the man throw something in front of me. Nalaglag ang panga ko nang mapatitig sa itinapon niya. Handcuffs.

“Put it on your hands and don’t you dare make another sound or I won’t hesitate to put a bullet in your head.” He said, looking at me with eyes getting darker each second.

Nanginginig ang mga kamay kong agad na ginawa ang kanyang mga sinabi ngunit muling nagulantang nang palapitin niya ako at talian naman ng lubid ang mga posas pagkatapos ay muli nang pinalakad ang kabayo.

I bit my lip as I curse harder in my head when I realize he will drag me to fucking nowhere and probably kill me at their killing spot! I knew this place is dangerous but I didn’t anticipated it to be this dangerous! Muling nagmura ang utak ko.

Wel-fucking-come to Diamond Valley

CHAPTER 2

Chapter Two

To Die In The Mountains

“Seryoso ka bang paglalakarin mo ako hanggang sa gusto mo?! For damn’s sake pawala na ang liwanag! Ni wala pa akong nakikitang bahay o kung ano! We’ve been walking for hours! Saan mo ba talaga ako dadalhin?!”

I didn’t hear a response. Bumilis ang kabayo kaya napatakbo ako. Halos mapaluhod na ako makasabay lang sa bilis niya pero hindi siya tumigil. Pagod na pagod na ako!

“Ano ba! Wala ka ba talagang awa?!”

He kick the horse so it would go faster. Napaluhod na ako at nakaladkad hanggang sa mapahiga na ako.

“Kill me! Just fucking kill me now you son of a bitch!” I shouted so loud, but my lips were forced to shut when my back hits a large stone.

Napangiwi ako’t hindi na napigilang maluha pero bago ko pa ulit mamura ang walang awang lalaki ay hininto na niya ang kabayo. I heard him get off the horse and walk towards me. Nagmamadali kong inayos ang sarili kahit na ang dumi-dumi ko na at hindi ko na maawat ang mga luha ko.

“Get your gun and just end this! Huwag ka nang magpaligoy-ligoy pa! Kung may balak kang gahasain ako, pwes patayin mo muna ako bago mo gawin ’yon dahil hindi ko masisikmurang magalaw ng demonyong katulad mo!” Nanginginig ang boses kong patuloy na singhal sa kanya ngunit kalmado lang nitong ibinaba ang sarili para pantayan ako.

He took off his hat, revealing a brown curtain hair that made me want to grip it because of anger. Gusto ko siyang sabunutan hanggang sa makita ko ang bungo niya!

“What an interesting mouth you have.” He said in a sarcastic but still dangerous tone.

Naitikom ko ang bibig.

“Kung hindi ka mabagal kanina pa sana tayo nakarating. You keep cursing me and now you’re going to accuse me of raping you?”

Marahas akong napalunok. Parang gusto kong pukpukin ang sarili kong ulo dahil kahit na maraming nagkakandarapa sa aking lalaki ay ngayon ko lang napansin na mukhang walang talab ang appeal ko sa kanya.

“Aren’t you?”

He scoffs and shake his head. “You’re not as pleasing as you think you are.”

That forced me to bit the insides of my cheek. His  words formed like daggers to stab me and all dignity. I was so hurt. First time may magsabi sa akin ng gano’n. I was always used to praises and never in a million years that I imagined someone not bothered by my sex appeal and can even tell me about it face to face!

“Cat got your tongue now?”

“Saan mo ba ako dadalhin?”

“Walk fast and you’ll see lady.”

“No please!” Pigil ko sa amba niyang pagtayo. “Are you going to kill me?! Please sabihin mo  kung papatayin mo rin lang ako para makapaghanda ako. Damn it, I never thought I’d die like this you know! This is supposed to be my new life. A new chance for me to be free but fuck it! Sige kung papatayin mo talaga ako sabihin mo na dahil pagod na rin naman ako! You might as well kill and bury me right here. That way I will still tick one on my bucket list!”

“That is?” He asked, muling nag-iisang linya ang makakapal niyang kilay.

“T-to die in the mountains.”

“You really want to die, huh?”

“Aren’t you going to kill me?”

He just shook his head and walk towards his horse.

“Please, mister… kung ano man ang pinaplano mo can you at least give me a heads up?”

He did not answer me.

“Do you have water? Can I at least drink first?”

“Wala akong tubig. Kung ako sa ’yo tatayo na ako at magsisimulang maglakad ulit. You made me late for dinner and it will cost you if I get hungry now.”

Wala akong nagawa kung hindi ang sundin siya. We both walk after that pero ilang minuto lang ay bumigay na ang mga tuhod ko.

“Stop playing with me and get up!” His voice roared up to the nearby tall grass.

Sinubukan kong tumayo ulit pero pagod na pagod na talaga ako. I never walk hours my entire life. Those marathons I posted on my instagram were all fake and I only did it for the views and promotions! Walking is not my cup of tea and I’m waving my white flag now.

“I-I can’t. I’m too tired. You can drag me from here. Do whatever you want but I can’t do this anymore. Please, I’m exhausted.”

Mariin kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko nang marinig ang muli niyang pagbaba sa kabayo. I was so ready for him to kill me but all I feel was his hand on my waist. Bago pa ako makadilat ay nayakap na niya ako.

“N-no! Let me go asshole!”

“Shut the fuck up and let me carry you to my horse! Napakaingay mo! You’ll definitely be dead right now if you’ve just been caught by another wrangler. That mouth would be the death of you.”

Natulala ako’t kagat labing pinigilan na lang ang pagsigaw nang walang hirap niya akong buhatin hindi para saktan kung hindi isakay sa kanyang kabayo! He wasn’t just tall and musculine, he was strong too! Six foot plus tall and so damn muscular, like a body builder.

Tuluyan ko nang naitikom ang aking bibig. Tama siya, ang bibig ko’t mga lumalabas nga dito ang papatay sa akin ngayon kaya kailangan kong manahimik dahil mukhang hindi ko pa naman talaga oras!

We walked for another ten minutes before I saw lights coming from five bunkhouses down the hill. Imbes na magtanong ay mas lalo ko lang naidiin ang mga labi nang walang sabi na rin siyang sumampa sa kabayo patungo sa aking likuran upang mas mapabilis kami.

I held the reins with both of my hands and pray that I wouldn’t fall and be stomped on by his horse. Hindi man ako natakot sa pagbilis nang takbo ng sinasakyan naming kabayo, muli naman akong binalot ng kaba matapos maramdaman ang mainit niyang hininga sa aking batok palihis sa aking tainga sabay bulong matapos naming huminto.

“Ginutom mo ako and you’re going to pay for it.” He said before getting off the horse and leaving me still handcuff on top of it.

The next thing I knew, I was being dragged by two other men to the horse stable where all their horses are. Tinanggal nila ang posas sa kamay ko pero itinali naman ang mga paa ko sa isang bakanteng kuwadra na gaya ng mga kabayong naroon. They gave me water and that was it.

I shriveled in fear, cold, and exhaustion. My dress was so dirty and was ripped earlier. Naubos ko kaagad ang tubig na ibinigay nila. I was so hungry but that shouldn’t be my priority now. Mas dapat kong unahing isipin kung paano ako makakaalis sa lugar na ’to.

Hindi ko na namalayang nakatulog ako dahil sa pagod at pag-iisip. Nagising lang ako sa muling pagliwanag ng buong kuwadra at agad napatayo nang marinig ang mga yapak patungo sa kinaroroonan ko.

I may have not been raped by that cowboy but it doesn’t matter that I wouldn’t. Tingin ko ay napakaraming lalaki sa lugar na ito at hindi malabong mangyari pa rin ’yon. If it wasn’t him then someone else will do it.

My lips parted when I saw the same man who put me here. Napasiksik ako sa gilid ng kuwadra. There was something mysterious in his presence that was making my knees wobble. At hindi iyon dahil natatakot ako. It was something I couldn’t explain.

“What are you going to do with me now? Papatayin mo na ba ako?”

“Are people in your generation really that obsessed with death?”

I swallowed the bile on my throat at that. Lalo na’t sa paraan nang pagsabi niya no’n ay parang hindi siya galing sa parehong henerasyon. Yes he looked older than me and definitely more mature but he’s still young. Maybe in his mid-thirties or younger kaya weird na marinig ang mga salitang ’yon sa kanya.

“Aren’t you?”

Tumalim ang titig niya sa akin.

“Anong balak mo kung hindi ang patayin ako? Bakit ka nandito?”

“This is my ranch and I am supposed to be the one asking you that question.”

“I told you. I’m here to live and start a new life.”

“Why here?”

“Why not? For sure hindi naman lahat ng lupa sa lugar na ’to ay pagmamay-ari mo. For sure mayroong pwedeng bilhin na lupa rito para tirhan.”

He cut me off by laughing. I was so offended by it.

Nakakailang strike na ’to sa akin sa pang-iinsulto!

“You’re clearly not from here.”

“I am not kaya pakawalan mo na ako at hayaan mo na akong gawin ang mga plano ko.”

“And what is that?”

I hate him being so nosy but I had no choice but explain myself so somehow he would find my reasons fair enough to let me go.

“To be free.”

“Aren’t you free? Are you from prison?”

“I’m not! Mukha ba akong kriminal?! Ikaw hindi ka ba galing sa kulungan?! You’re the one who dragged me here! You violated my rights and you looked like you already killed someone!”

Muling tumalim ang titig niya sa akin pero huli na para bawiin pa ang pagiging matalas ng bibig ko.

“I could’ve killed you earlier. I have all the right to do that because you are trespassing my property.”

“Wala akong ginagawang masama! Isa pa, hindi ko naman planong magtagal! I told you, kabababa ko lang ng van at kararating lang sa lugar na ’to. I’ve been dreaming about living in this place since I was a kid and you robbed me that dream!”

“Have you ever heard the word, finders keepers?”

My brows furrowed at the sudden course of the topic. Ni walang koneksiyon ’yon sa init ng usapan namin. Parang wala siyang narinig ni isa sa mga sinabi ko.

“Oo, bakit?”

He leaned towards the wooden stall and stare directly into my eyes.

“Well it applies here, lady. I found you and that makes you mine now.”

“W-what?” My voice shakes with fear because I could feel that what he was saying is the truth.

“You should’ve researched about this place before fantasizing of it as your dream destination where you can restart your fucked up life because this is not where you fulfill stupid dreams. We have our own rules here in Diamond Valley. Once you trespass a ranch, you’re technically letting yourself be a slave by anyone who will caught you. And now you are.”

Wala na akong naisagot. His words were sinking so much in my head that it’s starting to get hurt.

“From now on, you’re my slave and you will do everything I say.”

“A-at paano kung hindi kita sundin?”

“Then you will starve and finally tick that dying part off your bucket list.”

Asshole!

“You have other choice though.”

“What is that?” Agad na nabuhayan ng dugong tanong ko.

“Stay up and plan how to escape this place and be caught again by someone who have a better idea how to make use of you before sending you to the terminal.”

“T-terminal?”

Natatawa siyang lumayo sa barandila, ubos na ang pasensiya sa pakikipag-usap sa akin pagkatapos ay umatras na rin palayo.

“Bus terminal? They will force me to leave this place? Gano’n ba?”

“You clearly have no fucking idea how Diamond Valley works, lady. Well you’re lucky I have no time to deal with unnecessary things right now so you have the option to think about what I said. Kung ako sa ’yo, pag-iisipan kong mabuti dahil kapag nakapili ka na, hindi ka na makakapili pa ng iba so choose fucking wisely.”

CHAPTER 3

Chapter Three

Diamond Valley

There are four ranches in Diamond Valley. Heartland Meadows, Golden Acres, Legacy Lands, and La Ysla Ranch. The latter has the biggest stretch of the valley, the alpha of it all and that’s currently where I am.

I was caught trespassing by a man named Zakynthos Ysla or Zante as his people called him. Siya ang nag-iisang anak at tagapagmana ni Fiodorado at Astornina Ysla, the eight generation of the Ysla family who were fighting for the land I’m currently in. His grandfather was once the Governor of the city but was now replaced by his second cousin after he was mercilessly murdered. Even after what happened, their family was still the most powerful and respected family in the valley.

Bukod doon, ang ina ni Zante ay galing din sa prominenteng pamilya ng mga abogado. His mother was a lawyer while his father worked his whole life as the head household of their cattle ranch. Hindi pa ito retired pero ipinauubaya na ang pamamahala sa anak na si Zante. The latter studied law in abroad too, that explains his great diction speaking in English. I guess he decided not to practice his degree so he can stay here and become a rancher just like his father. And yes, nalaman ko ang lahat ng iyon sa isang linggo lang na pamamalagi ko sa rancho—sa isang linggo matapos kong pumayag na maging alipin ng lalaking ’yon.

I still don’t know if what I did was the best option for me but I already chose what’s best for now. Sabi niya nga, kapag nakapili na ako ay hindi ko na ’yon mababawi. And now I don’t think I’ll ever will. But does it matter now? No, kahit mahirap ay iniisip ko na lang na at least malayo na ako sa Manila. The Soleah that the people know doesn’t exist anymore.

I absentmindedly check my reflection at one of the truck in front of me. I almost not recognized myself not only because I am wearing an outdated faded jeans and an old oversized men’s plaids, but also because I am so dirty from cleaning horse shit since the moment I agreed being Zante’s slave.

Pagaling na ang sugat sa likod ko at hindi naman na masakit. Sa ibang pagkakataon, magwawala na ako sa peklat na maiiwan dahil literal na puhunan ko ang katawan ko, pero wala akong naging reklamo ngayon. I am even grateful that I only got a wound even though I have never allowed a mosquito to bite me before. Kapag may stretch mark akong nakita o dark spot ay pinapa-laser ko na kaagad sa aesthetic clinic na sponsored ako.

I am well pampered my whole life even when I moved out of my parents’ house. Nasuportahan ko ang sarili ko sa parehong luho sa pagtatrabaho ko bilang isang influencer at nitong huling taon ay naging artista na. Now, everything has changed.

Wala sa hinagap kong isang araw ay magtatrabaho ako at kakayod na parang kalabaw para lang sa pagkain but here I am, shoveling shit and doing the nastiest part of the job just because I had to live.

Tama si Zante. Wala akong alam sa Diamond Valley. As much as I hate to become anyone’s slave, I couldn’t risk being another one’s slave. Alam kong totoo rin ang mga sinasabi niya tungkol sa bagay na ’yon. Besides, he didn’t touch me or anyone. Kahit paano ay safe pa naman ako.

I think I still chose the best decision of staying here because I know he will not kill me. Sa ngayon ay iyon na lang ang naging mahalaga sa akin. Nagpapasalamat na lang akong lumilinaw na rin ang lahat ng mga ilang detalye sa lugar na ito ngayong nakakausap ko na ang ilang mga gaya kong nagtatrabaho rin sa rancho.

After all, maybe this is the start that I needed. I badly wanted to forget my old life so I need to live a new one regardless of how hard it is. Kahit pa malayong-malayo sa buhay ko noon at sa pangarap ko sa pagpunta rito. If working and learning new things in life here in La Ysla will be the way to forget everything, then I am willing to pay the price.

“Nandito na ang mga gamit mo, Anni.”

Halos mapaluhod ako sa tuwa nang makita ang duffel bag kong hawak ni Tom kinahapunan ng araw ding iyon.

There were more than twenty people working for La Ysla ranch. I already met most of them but it was Tom whom I had an instant connection with. Palibhasa siguro bago rin sa lugar kaya nakaka-relate siya sa akin o baka sabik lang din sa babae kaya mabait. Sa lahat kasi ng empleyado sa rancho ay isa lang ang babae doon. Her name was Geneva and I haven’t had a chance to talk to her yet.

“Saan mo nakita? Oh thank you, Tom!” Nayakap ko siya sa tuwa.

Ilang araw na kasi nilang hinahanap ang gamit ko pero ngayon lang nila nakita. Tom said that they found it near the other ranch. Hindi alam kung paanong napunta doon pero hindi na rin mahalaga dahil nakita naman at walang nawala. Even the money that I had and my useless debit and credit cards were there, too. I was so thankful of him.

Nang matapos nga ang trabaho ay excited akong pumunta sa kuwadra kung saan ako namamalagi. Kaamoy ko na ang mga kabayo pero ayos lang. Sabi ko nga, as long as I’m eating and still breathing, magtitiis ako.

This is what I need. This is now my new life. Kakayanin ko ’to.

I convinced myself that phrase over and over again, but then loneliness hits my heart hard nang makita ko ang mga gamit kong halatang hindi na tugma sa buhay ko ngayon.

Staring at my colorful and cute dresses kind of made me miss the city and the old Annekje.

This life is not what I expected. Inaasahan kong pagdating ko sa Diamond Valley ay makakabili ako kahit maliit na lupa sa lugar na may magandang tanawin ng mga budok at lambak. Plano kong magpatayo kahit maliit na kubo at magtanim ng mga gulay na kakainin ko. I have enough money to support myself until I get old but none of it became true. Everything was the total opposite now.

Mapait akong napangiti sa mga make up na natitigan ko. This is now useless. I had the thought to throw it in the bin but I had no courage. Para mahimasmasan sa lungkot ay napagpasyahan kong maligo na lang pero sa ginawa ay hindi ko na mapigilang maiyak.

I feel like an animal. Of course I was an outcast here pero hindi talaga makatao ang ginagawa sa akin.

I sleep at the stables. I eat at the stables. I bathe at the stables at kapag magbabanyo naman ay kailangan ko pang magpaalam o hintaying walang tao sa bunker house one bago ako gumamit ng banyo.

Ipinilig ko ang ulo at binilisan na lang ang ginagawa. Habang tinutuyo ang buhok matapos ang madaliang pagbibihis dahil kahit mga kabayo lang ang kasama ko ay open area pa rin ang lugar ay natigil ako nang makarinig ng mga yapak.

My feet was put to halt walking back to my sleeping station when I saw a new face staring right back at me. Agad lumakas ang tibok ng puso ko habang siya naman ay gulat na natulala sa akin na parang multo ako.

Even when he was wearing a black cowboy hat, I knew his hair was now all white. He was the oldest men I saw in the ranch so far. The man was maybe in his early sixties but he was still regal as hell. Sa presensiya pa lang niya ay may idea na ako kung sino siya at alam kong hindi ako nagkakamali. Those eyes and stance was like the man who took me here a week ago. Older, but the same.

“Sino ka at anong ginagawa mo rito?”

Hearing his familiar baritone voice confirmed a thought. He was Fiordorado Ysla, Zante’s father.

“I’m sorry, sir. I know we haven’t met yet but I’m working here. Isang linggo na akong narito—”

“And who told you to work here?”

Napayuko ako nang igala niya ang mapanuring mga mata simula ulo ko hanggang paa.

“Do you even know what work means, young lady?” He continued.

“I know, sir.”

“I doubt that. In case you didn’t know, I am the owner of this ranch. Ako lang ang may karapatang tumanggap ng empleyado sa lugar na ’to at wala akong natatandaang dumaan ka sa tamang proseso so tell me, sino sa mga empleyado ko ang kasintahan mo?”

“W-wala po! I am telling the truth, sir. Isang linggo na akong nagtatrabaho rito. Tama kayong hindi legal na paraan ang nangyari dahil wala akong alam sa trabahong ibinigay sa akin at pinag-aaralan ko pa rin hangang ngayon pero hindi na ako makakaalis. I already said yes to your son and I’m now his slave.”

“My son?” Kunot-noo nitong tanong.

“Zakynthos Ysla. Your only son, sir.”

His adam’s apple dance on his throat at that. Sandali kaming parehas na natigilan pero wala nang salita pang namagitan sa amin.

Tulala ako matapos akong iwan ng ama ni Zante. Babalik na sana ako sa kuwadra upang ayusin ang higaan ko pero hindi ko nagawa nang sumulpot naman ang bagong panauhin ilang minuto lang ang nakalipas.

“Tom?”

“Pinapatawag ka ni Zante. Nasa foreman’s cabin siya. Hihintayin ka raw niya doon.” 

“Bakit daw? Anong dahilan? Is it because of his father?”

Nagkibit ng balikat si Tom.

“Is he… mad?”

He shake his head. “Pumunta ka na lang, Anni. Magdala ka ng flashlight at bilisan mo ang paglalakad. Mag-ingat ka rin sa daraanan mo. Madalas kasi may mga ahas na ligaw lalo na sa gabi.”

“Sure kang hindi siya galit?” tanong ko, hindi inintindi ang paalala niya.

“Mukha namang hindi. Sige na.”

My mind still cursed at that. Mas lalo lang akong kinabahan.

If he’s not mad, then why? Bakit niya ako pinapatawag? Is he finally claiming the end of our bargain? Will he finally force me to have sex with him?

Chapter Four

Slave

“What else do you want aside from me working at the barn and being your slave?”

“Do you cook?”

“If you want boiled eggs and fried foods, then yes. Gagawin mo rin ba akong cook? What else, huh? Do you want me to satisfy you in bed too?”

Napawi ang sarkastikong ngisi ko sa pagdiin ng titig ni Zante sa akin.

Shit. I’m talking too much again.

“When I say everything, I mean everything.”

“So… s-sex?”

“If that’s the only thing you’re good at then yes. Pagtatiyagaan ko.”

Nagtangis ang bagang ko. This fucker really know how to constantly get into my nerves!

“Fucking pervert.”

“I’m figuring things out here. If you have skills that will be useful in La Ysla then tell me so I can assign a more suited job for you. Make you feel a little bit… useful.”

Pinilit kong huwag magpaapekto sa mga salita niya pero bigo rin ako sa pag-iisip. I have maids working for me my entire life. I never lift broom and even try learning anything besides being fabulous. Now that I’m force to think about any skill, nanliliit ako dahil wala akong maisip na makakatulong lalo na sa lugar na ’to.

“You’re really useless are you?” He mocked and then slouched at his seat. He stare at me with those mysterious dark eyes as if trying to solve a puzzle with my presence.

“Who are you exactly, Anni? Enlighten me about yourself.”

“I will do anything you will ask me to do just stop asking me about my personal life, especially the one I’m trying to forget.”

Naningkit ang kanyang mga mata, sinusuring muli ang kabuuan ko. Hindi ako nagpatinag. Pinantayan ko ng tapang ang kanyang titig.

“I don’t cook and I don’t know how to clean but I am a fast learner. Kahit ang mga trabaho sa rancho ay kaya kong pag-aralan. Gagawin ko lahat kapalit ng pagtira rito, pagkain, at proteksiyon mo. I am even willing to satisfy you in bed if you really long for it. I will do it, Zante. You look like you need it anyway.”

He straightened his back and put his hand on his chin. Still being amazed by the way I talk and insult him back. Alam kong nag-e-enjoy din siya. Pwes, hindi ako magpapatalo.

“Call me boss then. You don’t have the right to call me by my name.”

“Everyone calls you Zante.”

“Not you. You have to earn that, lady.”

“My name is Anni so call me that too.”

That made the side of his lips rose a bit. Nanayo ang mga balahibo ko sa paraan ng pagngisi niya. It was not showing me any mercy.

“You are my slave so I get to decide whether I call you by your name, lady, or my bitch. It’s my call, you understand?”

That put me to my place. Tumango na lang ako para matapos na ang usapan.

It took me ten minutes walk from the barn to the foreman’s cabin. Hindi naman masukal ang daan pero nakakatakot pa rin dahil sa mahaba at madilim na parteng nilakad ko. Halos tumakbo na nga ako magawa lang ang sinabi ni Tom. Kung bakit kailangan ko raw magmadali, hindi ko na inalam.

Isang katok ang ginawa ko bago buksan ang pintuan. It was my first time going inside the foreman’s cabin. Kahit na kasi dito naman talaga dapat nakatira si Zante ay nananatili siya sa main house madalas para samahan ang mga magulang. His mother was sick so he had no choice but to stay at the main house and take care of her most of the time. Ang narinig kong usapan ng mga trabahador ay ayaw daw nitong magpaalaga sa kahit na sino. Ang ama naman ni Zante ay matanda na rin at busy din lalo na ngayon sa pagtulong sa rancho kaya salitan sila sa pag-aalaga sa kanyang ina.

The cabin was cozy. Everything was made out of big logs. There was a fireplace at the center of the living room. Sa kabila naman ilang hakbang lang ay ang kusina at dining room. Sa pangalawang palapag ang tingin ko’y kwarto ng lalaki.

I was interrupted by Zante when he cleared his throat. Tahimik kong isinara ang pinto at naupo sa couch na kanyang sinulyapan. He got a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He looked tired and a bit drunk. Basa pa ang kanyang buhok at mukhang kalalabas lang din ng banyo.

“Anong kailangan mo at bakit mo ako pinatawag?”

Naupo siya sa harapan ko. He emptied his glass before staring back at me. Tumagal ang titig niya, masuyong sinusuri ang kabuuan ko at sa bawat mabagal na galaw ng mga mata niya sa aking katawan ay tila napapaso ’yon.

I’m now wearing one of my best dress. Sa loob ng isang linggo ay kung hindi mga lumang damit niya ay mga bigay na damit naman ng mga trabahador ang suot ko. Ngayon lang ulit ako nakasuot ng sarili kong gamit kaya siguro naninibago siya. Or maybe because of the low neckline of the white dress that I’m wearing because it was showing my cleavage.

Tumikhim ako. Marahas na napabalik ang mga mata niya sa akin dahil nabibingi ako sa katahimikan at sa hindi maipaliwanag na pakiramdam ay naaapektuhan ako sa ginagawa niya.

“What do you want from me?”

He poured and emptied his glass. “Do you drink alcohol?”

“Yes I do.”

“Do you want some?”

Agad akong tumango. He glance at his bar. Tumalima ako para kumuha ng baso. Sinalinan niya iyon. Dahil sa kaba ay agad kong tinungga.

“Want more?”

“Yes, if that’s okay with you.”

He poured half of my glass. Sa kaba ay walang sabing natungga ko ulit ang lamang whiskey.

“You love drinking alcohol, do you? Let me guess, laman ka rin ng club tuwing weekends or even weekdays?”

Hindi ako sumagot.

“If you’re going to spend the rest of your life here, then at least have the decency to give me an overview of you. Kung dapat ka bang pagkatiwalaan and if you’re worthy being here in La Ysla.”

“I’m not a criminal. Kahit isang record ay wala rin ako. I’m a good citizen.”

“How will I know that if you don’t give me anything about you?”

“That part of me doesn’t matter anymore. You have my word. Hindi ako masamang tao at mas lalong hindi ako gagawa ng kahit na anong masama rito. I get it now. This is my life. I am your slave and I will be a faithful one. That’s the only thing you can get from me.”

“I still want to know more about you.” giit niya.

“Does it really matter?”

“It matters because the only thing I’m sure about you is that you have filthy mouth. You’re liberated and wild, correct?”

“I go to parties. Mataas ang alcohol tolerance ko. I’m open-minded and I guess kind of liberated too, but define wild.”

He switched his legs in a figure four lock position. He rested his hand on the couch and then stare at me like he was slowly rummaging my life with his dark eyes.

“How many boys have you had sex with? If you’re wilder than that, ilang babae rin?”

“I am not that wild as you think. I only had one boyfriend.”

“One, huh…”

“Surprise?”

He nodded. “How many times did you have sex with him then? What’s your favorite position?”

“For pete’s sake. These questions are insane!”

“Why is that?”

“You really aren’t a gentleman, are you? Hindi ba itinuturo ’yon sa lugar na ’to? Kahit kaunting decency man lang? These questions are inappropriate to ask especially to a woman.” I spat.

“You are my slave. I own you now, remember? Besides, I didn’t study here. Bakit ba hindi mo na lang sagutin? Don’t tell me you’re a virgin and useless too?”

“I am not a virgin!” Sigaw ko na.

All these years, I hated giving my virginity to my first boyfriend but not until today! Parang ngayon na-justify ’yon! It had to happen to prepare me for this moment.

“So how many times, huh? Ever had an orgasm?”

“Yes I did! Anong akala mo sa ’kin?!”

“Tell me more then. What position you usually cum?”

“Fuck you.” Hindi ko na napigilang ibulalas. I hate him so much.

Zante wasn’t offended by my cursing. Napangisi pa nga ito. “You really have an interesting mouth. Hindi ko lang maisip bakit paligoy-ligoy kang sumagot ngayon? Does the topic makes you uncomfortable?”

“It’s only because I don’t like you as a person and I don’t think I ever will.”

Nagtangis ang bagang ko sa pagkawala ng tawa niya. Imbes na mapikon ay kinuha ko sa harapan niya ang bote ng whiskey at tinungga! That shut him up for seconds.

“You’re really unpredictable.” He commented, muli na namang sinusuri ang kabuuan ko.

“Kaya mo ba ako pinapunta rito para lang itanong at sabihin ang mga bagay na ’yan?”

“I heard you met my father.”

“Kanina. Bakit hindi mo sinabing nagtatrabaho na ako rito? You almost got me in trouble.”

“You are still in trouble.”

“We had an agreement. I am your slave so technically, kargo mo ako. You are my boss so you will defend me to him. Ikaw naman ang may kasalanan kung bakit ako nandito.”

“From now on you’ll stay at the bunkhouse. Find Geneva and tell her to help you settle at the place.”

Sa unang pagkakataon ay hindi ako nakasagot. My heart was happy knowing that I will now have a proper place to sleep! The thought tickles my heart. Ito pala ang dahilan kung bakit niya ako pinatawag.

“Okay. Thank you.”

He nodded and then put his empty glass back on the table.

“Now strip, Anni. Take everything off and show me how good you are in bed. Show me what that filthy mouth can do.”
