AMBER doesn’t know what to do, the debt collector will come any time to collect her father’s debt. She already sold their properties and yet it is still not enough.
Her father who used to be a responsible man changed when her mother died due to a car accident. The car she’s driving fell on a cliff and that serves as a start for her and her father’s miserable life.
Her father started drinking and gambling making them lose more money and then their resort started to lose costumers and fell into bankruptcy. And her father committed suicide because of his debts. She sold all of their properties, even those where she had a fond memory of when they were still happy, but it is still not enough to cover her father’s 12 million debt.
“Miss Amber Santiago, we’re here to collect the remaining 5 million.” Mister Lim, the half-Chinese, half-Filipino said.
“I-I don’t have anything to give you.” She said with tears starting to fall. “I already sold all our properties just to pay you. I don’t have anything left on me.”
“Well, that is not my problem, Miss Santiago. All I care is for you to pay the five million remaining balance.” He coldly said.
“Please, give me time to pay you. I’ve got nothing left with me. I already sold this house and I’m packing my things to leave.” She pleaded.
“Five months, Miss Santiago.” Mister Lim said firmly. “All I can give you is five months.”
“What?” She exclaimed. “Where can I find a job that can pay me one million for a month?” She asked in disbelief. She’s grateful that he still gives her time to pay but five months? There’s no way she can earn five million in a span of five months.
“As I said, that is not my problem, Miss Santiago.” He said as he scanned her body. “You have a beautiful face and a nice body.” He said while looking at her maliciously. “Sell yourself and your problem will be solved.”
“There is no way that I will sell my dignity!” She sternly said.
“Well, that’s only a suggestion, Miss Santiago.” Mister Lim shrugged. “You said that you’ve sold all your properties, but I still think that you haven’t sold everything.” He said with a meaningful look.
“I already told you that nothing is left with me. I sold all the properties and jewelries that we have.” She sternly said. Mister Lim looked and there is something with the way he looked at her that she can’t pin point.
“Then see you in five months, Miss Santiago.” He said and leave together with his body guards.
