Dedication

This story is dedicated to those who have lost faith in love, to those who feel that love is nothing more than a fleeting desire for satisfaction. To Atenna Baguinaon, whose belief that no one has ever truly loved her stems from a lifetime of being surrounded by people who only seemed to want something from her, even her own family. Her walls are high, and her heart is guarded, convinced that real love does not exist.

But life has a way of challenging even the most steadfast beliefs. To the billionaire Justin Jay Olarte, whose mischievous nature and daring spirit set him apart. He saw Atenna not as a prize to be won, but as someone worth knowing beyond the surface. Through a series of playful challenges, he forced Atenna to question everything she thought she knew about love and relationships.

This is for those who wonder if love can ever be more than just a game. As Atenna finds herself at the center of Justin Jay's bold dares, the line between playfulness and reality begins to blur. Is she just another player in his game, or has something deeper taken hold?

To anyone who has ever felt disillusioned by love, this story reminds us that sometimes, the most unexpected people can break down the barriers we've built. And in doing so, they might just show us a version of love we never thought possible.

"Panalo ako" sabi ni Justin "Yung bayad niyo?"

"Justin, dahil nanalo ka, hihiwalayan mo na ba yung bata?" tanong nung si Aljur at Yohan

Sinong bata? Ako ba ang pinag uusapan nila? at hihiwalayan?

"Sakin na lang yun, sabi ko naman sa inyo mabilis lang makuha ang batang yun" sabi niya

"So may nangyari na ba sa inyo?" tanong naman yung Yohan

Para akong kinilabutan sa sinabi nito. Anong nangyayari?

"Masarap ba? magaling bang sumubo?" natatawa namang tanong ni Aljur

Sabi na nga ba! mga bastos na to. Mabilis namang tumulo ang mga luha ko. Bakit ba ganito nararamdaman ko? I am feeling betrayed.

"Well" sabi niya at nag iisip. Bigla namang sumilay nag ngiti nito sa labi "Tina is amazing"

Wala ako sa sariling pumasok sa loob. Dahil puno ng galit ang buong nararamdaman ko, parang gusto ko nang pumatay ng tao

Mga baboy!

Gulat siyang nakatingin sakin. Sinampal ko siya ng malakas. At halos yung sampal na yun ang narinig sa buong mart. Napatingin naman samin yung mga nasa loob.

Siguro ang mga nasaisip nila ay 'Ang babata pa pero madrama na'

"Fuck you!" sigaw ko. Pinunasan ko ang mga luhang tumulo sa mga mata ko at pekeng ngumiti " Hi "

Tiningnan ko yung dalawa "Wanna taste me para di na kayo magtanong sa kaniya?" sabi ko at tinuro si Justin.

"Fuck Tina" sabi naman ni Justin at tumayo sa kinauupuan niya tsaka lumapit sakin "Stop, let's talk"

"Hindi na kailangan, na gets ko na." sabi ko. Huminga ako ng malalim "You use me"

"Pero parang hindi ata use yun? Pinaglaruan? Pinagpustahan? tapos ngayong tapos napagpapasahan?" tanong ko. Bigla naman tumulo ang luha ko

And this time hindi ko na siya pinunasan. I want him to see me how hurt I am, how pain I am feeling right now.

"Putang inang dare na yan!" sigaw ko na ikinagulat nila. Pumikit naman siya at dumilat ulit

"Pinaniwala mo ako sa lahat ng kasinungalingan mo!" nahihirapan kong sabi habang tinuro turo siya "Sana man lang sa una palang sinabi mo na sakin na dare lang yun!"

Huminga ako ng malalim "Para napigilan ko ang pesteng feelings na to!"

I just can't admit, bakit nga ba ako nagpaloko sa billionaryong gaya niya? Tama si Itay, gagamitin at paglalaruan ka lang ng mga mayayaman, akala ko talaga ay mahal niya na ako kaya niya ako nilapitan, pero hindi pala, gusto niya lang pala akong paglaruan.
