Allianah's POV

　　Hi, my name is Allianah Patricia Hovers. I'm 16 years old, I am an only child. In short, unica hija. But I'm not spoiled brat. I'm good to those who are good to me. I don't know why my parents didn't give me a little sister or brother after me. It's boring to be the only child. It is sure lively and fun to have siblings. Irene and Harold are my parents. And I love them very much. Because they never neglect and abandon me even if they are always busy in their business. They always have time for me. Not to brag, but I'm actually smart. I am conscious about my grades. Reason why my parents always spoil me whatever I want. Because that way, I want to make them proud of me.

　　I realize, it's hard to handle the business problem of my parents while I'm studying. Our company is slowly failing. My parents have a lot of debts from other companies who are their partners.

　　Haaay! What a life. Even if they keep this problem away from me, I will know about it, anyway. Because I always hear them talking about this.

　　"Hi, Mom. Dad." I greeted to my parents upon sitting on the sofa. It was surprising that they're home this early.

　　"Hello, sweetie/princess," they greeted back in chorus and kissed my cheeks.

　　"It's surprising, mom, dad, you came home this early," I said.

　　"We have nothing to do in our office, anyway." mom said. I nodded at her. If only I could help them, I would.

　　"Ah, mom, dad. I will go upstairs." I informed my parents. They were busy watching television. They just nodded at me.

　　I went upstairs to my room. Upon entering my room, I immediately lie down on my soft bed. Still wearing my uniform, I feel asleep.

　　----

　　I woke up because of the loud knock from the door of my room.

　　"Ma'am Yanah, your mom and dad told to eat your dinner now." I immediately arose from my bed and check the time from the clock of my side table. It's already seven in the evening.

　　"Ma'am Yanah," Manang Ghie called again.

　　"Alright, Manang Ghie. I'll go downstairs," I answered. I changed my clothes. I went to the kitchen and I saw my mom and dad were already eating.

　　"Come here and sit so you can eat your dinner now," mom said. I did what I was told to. I sat in front of my mother and started eating. After the dinner, I went back to my room to do my assignments and other projects. When I finished everything, I went to the bathroom to half bath. I dressed my pajamas and sleep.

　　Harold POV

　　I'm the father of Allianah. I'm so proud of my unica hija because she's smart. Her mom and I, love her so much. I am now here on my office. Our company is suffering from problems. We're losing too much. We're actually having lot of debts from our business partners because of that.

　　"Sir, Mr. Saavedra is here. He wants to talk to you." My secretary informed me.

　　"Let him in," I responded. Mr. Saavedra is a businessman like me. I have debts with him. He entered my office afterwards.

　　"Mr. Saavedra, please take a seat." I pointed the swivel chair in front of my table.

　　"Thank you, Harold. By the way, I won't beat around the bush. If you can't pay off your debts, I have other idea so you can pay me." my brows creased with what he said. I was nervous with what he's going to suggest.

　　"W-What?" I stuttered.

　　"If you agree, it is your daughter in exchange to pay off your debts." I feel like my whole world fall apart when I heard it. My debts in exchange of my daughter? I think it's not fair and justifiable.

　　"Ahm... Mr. Saavedra. Maybe there's other way to pay you off?" I asked him. I will never allow to give away my daughter just to pay my debts off.

　　"I'm sorry, Harold. But my son told me he wants to marry your daughter as soon as possible."

　　Damn it! Of all people, why does it have to be my daughter? Who's that son of him? Why does he want to marry my daughter?

　　"Ahm, I will try to talk to my daughter about this matter," It seems I can't do anything about it. Even if I beg him not to do this, he will never change his mind.

　　"Okay, Harold. We will visit to your house after three days." He left after he said that.

　　I hope my daughter understands me. I know I can't pay off my debts to Mr. Saavedra but I never thought that my daughter will be exchange to be able to pay him. I don't know how could I explain this to Allianah.
