"Are you really sure about this?" Sandro asked her from the side. He's her best friend and he's been worrying about the deal she had agreed on; as if may magagawa pa ito.

"I'm really sure of it, Sands. I told you, you don't have to worry about me anymore, okay?" paninigurado niya naman dito.

She was sitting in front of a lighted vanity mirror as a stylist style her hair beautifully. Inaayos nito ang pagkakabitan ng kanyang belo para mamaya.

"What the hell, Alessandro! Ako ang ika-kasal pero bakit ikaw pa ang tensionado?" tanong n'ya pa nang makita ang paghugot nito ng malalalim na hininga mula sa repleksyon nito sa salamin.

Umiling-iling naman ito sa kanya. "You can't blame me, Gian! I'm your best friend and it was a fucking news to me!" asik nito. "Besides, this isn't the wedding you had dreamed of having," he added. She could see sadness in his eyes, he was sad for her.

But she just shrugged. "I have never dreamed of any wedding, Sands. I knew from that start that this is my fate" she answered. "I don't have time fantasizing things that I know I could never have," she added.

"Alam mong papa-kasal ka sa taong hindi mo naman gusto?" her best friend asked, shaking his head.

She nodded. "I had been told this since childhood. This is why I was even kept despite me being an illegitimate child," she answered.

Sad but that's the truth.

She was her father's child from a woman he met at the bar and had a night of infidelity. And it wasn't kept from her for every day since childhood her step-mother reminds her of that; telling her that she was her father's biggest mistake.

That was honestly too much to take in for a 7 year-old child but she had no choice but to accept that together with all the maltreatment she's getting from her father's wife. Sino ba naman kasi s'ya para mag reklamo? Wala, syempre. She's just someone whose existence was never wanted; the child who's forcing herself to be loved by her father.

But fate still has some mercy for her. Her father never had a child with his wife, her evil stop-mother, the reason why her father kept custody of her. She was kept because she will be needed for their business in the future, her dad told her blatantly.

"And you accepted that just like that? Without even trying to tell them what you really want?" madamdamin pang tanong ng kaibigan n'ya.

Umirap naman siya. "I told you, I don't dream of something I knew is impossible for me to have. Hindi ko paasahin ang sarili ko sa bagay na alam kung ika-lulungkot ko lang sa huli," she answered.

Though it was painful, she embraced that fate. If that's the only way for her father to love her, why not? She'll be more than willing to do everything; she will obey and follow everything he'll ask her to do without inhibitions. She will be a good daughter saying yes to her father all the time. That's what she had sworn to herself.

And that future her dad was telling years back has come, the day where her existence was being prioritized for the first time in twenty-five years of her living. It was the day of her marriage to a stranger her Dad asked her to marry.

The guy was not even introduced to her personally, she was only shown a picture of a young man in a suit who looks snobbish. Her dad said he's one of his business partners.

"Paano kung matandang gurang na pala iyong mapapangasawa mo? Ni hindi mo man lang nga nakita iyon kahit minsan pero pumayag pa paring mag pakasal," sabi pa ni Sandro.

"If that's what you worry then, stop, Sandro. He's not what you think he is, ano ka ba! He's young, about two years older than us and he is fucking hot," sagot naman n'ya.

"Paano mo nasabi? Na-meet mo?" tanong naman nito, nakataas pa ang kilay.

She shook her head. "No," she answered. "But I saw him in pictures. Dude, he's yummy!" dagdag n'ya pa.

"Anong pangalan?" tanong naman agad nito.

"Oh, bakit? Tinitignan mo?" mataray na tanong naman niya.

"Oo, bilis na! Sabihin mo na," pilit pa nito.

Umirap naman siya rito at naiiling na lang na napangisi sa kaartehan ng kaibigan.

"Ano na, Gianna Emilia! Sabihin mo na!" ulit pa nito.

"Oo na, atat mo masyado," asar n'ya pa. "Maverick Jaxon De Chavez," she added, saying her future husband's full name.

The ceremony started as soon as she stepped out of her bridal car. Simple lang ang kasal n'ya at iilang importanteng tao lamang ang imbitado. It wasn't a big deal to her, hindi naman niya ginustong magpakasal at the first place.

"Here comes the bride!" one of the organizer announced. Agad namang nagsiayos ang lahat ayon sa kanilang tamang pwesto at ilang sandal pa ay nag lalakad na siya papunta sa altar.

"Is that him?" she asked her dad who's walking her down the aisle, as they look at that guy standing at the altar, waiting for her.

Her dad nodded. "Yes, Emilia. He will be your husband," sagot naman nito.

"He looks snobbish," kwento naman n'ya.

Her dad laughed because of that. "He's a good man, Emilia. You'll be in good hands with him," sabi naman nito.

Hindi naman na siya umiik pa at tumingin na lamang sa harap, diretso sa mapapangasawa n'ya. Nakatingin din naman ito sa kanya at tulad n'ya, wala rin itong emosyon. Hindi naman kunot ang noo nit ngunit masungit itong tignan dahil sa facial feature nito.

Maverick Jaxon De Chavez is a very handsome man. He has that prominent jaw, pointed nose, attractive thick brows and captivating eyes. And his lips, pakiramdam n'ya ay bigla siyang nauhaw ng madako roon ang kanyang mga mata.

Kumalma ka Emilia, mapapangasawa mo na iyan! She chastised herself.

Fuck! She never craved for any guy like how she's craving for this gorgeous guy in front of her. It will surely hurt not tasting him, gladly, he'll be hers after this ceremony.

    "It would be a shame not tasting him."Parang biglang gustong masuka ni Gian ng maalalang pinagnasaan n'ya si Maverick sa mismong seremonya ng kanilang kasal. Kung alam nya lang sana ay hindi n'ya man lang siya tumingin dito.Ang walang hiya! Hindi naman niya alam na napakahambog naman pala ng mapapangasawa niya! Hanggang ngayon ay nasa isip pa rin niya ang mga sinabi nito sa kanya ng inanunsyo na ng pari na maaari na siyang halikan nito."This will only be on papers," sabi nito saka siya hinalikan sa gilit ng kanyang labi.Ang kapal ng mukha! Para namang gusto niyang makasal siya rito. Huh! Pasalamat ito at kaharap nila pari at kanilang mga bisita ng mga oras na iyon dahil kung hindi ay susupalpalin n'ya ito iyong oras din na iyon."Oh, bakit nakasimangot?" Sandro asked, nasa upuan siya na nakalaan sa kanilang dalawa ni Maverick habang ang magaling niyang asawa ay naroon sa lamesa ng mga kaibigan nito, naglalasing."Nagsisisi na ako, Sands," ani n'ya."At bakit na naman.

    "How are the two of you so far?" her father asked. They were in his office to talk about their company's merger with Maverick's mom's company."We're fine, Dad," she answered, shrugging. Gusto pa sana niyang idugtong na tulog lamang s'ya buong magdamag ng kanilang unang gabi, but of course, she won't tell that!"I'm glad to hear that, hija. I was afraid that you'll change your mind once you live under one roof with my son," Maverick's mom said."Oh, no po, Ma'am. That is never going to happen," she answered. "We're doing just fine po. Medyo nag a-adjust palang po, but that will never be a problem, right, honey?" she answered, turning to Maverick who's sitting beside her.Nagtaas naman ito ng kilay sa kanya na agad niyang pinandilatan para makuha ang gusto niyang sabihin."Of course, Mom. You don't have to worry, okay? We're fine," he answered, smiling at his mother."That's good. And hija, please stop calling me ma'am, you should get used of calling me mommy or mom.

    "These are my friends," Maverick said, introducing her to all of his friends whom she didn't bother to remember their names.Para saan pa? She's sure, at the first place, that Maverick doesn't have any intention of introducing her to his friends. It just happened that he was caught up with this situation, leaving him no choice but to do it."And this is, Vanelope, Easton's wife. Gavin's wife, Morgan and Jorge, Caius'." He added, introducing the three girls sitting at the separate couch from the boys.He then turned to her, "this is my wife, Gianna Emilia." He introduced her to them."Hello," she greeted his friends, trying hard to look genuine with her smile. "I preferred to be called Gian," she said.And she was surprised when one of the girls suddenly jumped to hug her, iyong Jorge."Careful, baby..." a guy spoke, iyong Caius ata na asawa nitong si Jorge.Jorge giggles as she rubs her big tummy. "I'm sorry. I'm just happy to finally meet her." Sagot nito."You already met her in the

    The next day was like usual since they got married. Maaga siyang nagising para mag bilin ng ilang trabaho sa opisina bago sila umalis papuntang Palawan sa hapon ng araw ding iyon.Maverick wasn't on her side when she woke up like usual. Laging ganun naman ang eksena nila tuwing umaga simula nang magsama sila, at pabor iyon para sa kanya. She have all the time to lurk on their bathroom and walk in closet without worrying that he might barge in to use the facility.It took her almost half an hour taking a bath at paglabas ng kanilang silid ay naabutan n'ya ang asawa na nasa kusina, kasama si Connor habang nag-aalmusal.Huh! Hindi man lang ako inaya. She mentally said to herself.Luh? At sino ka naman para ayain? Special ka, girl? She spat back to herself. Napapailing na lamang siya sa sarili dahil para na naman siyang baliw na nakikipag-away sa isip n'ya."Good morning, Emilia!" Connor greeted her, napangiwi pa ito ng ngitian siya. Must be his hangover.She smiled back and nodded. "Good

    Emilia roamed around the beach. Siya lang mag-isa at hindi na nag aksaya pa nang lakas na ayain ang asawa dahil una, busy ito sa telepono at alam niyang tungkol sa trabaho ang ginagawa nito. At pangalawa, hindi rin naman niya gusto ang makasama ito. She rather be alone as she enjoy the magnificent views in front of her.Alam na alam naman niyang labag din sa loob nito ang tumuloy sa trip na iyon pero wala silang magagawa pareho kundi ang sumunod sa gusto ng mga magulang nila.Alas tres na ng hapon at hindi na ganun katirik ng araw at dahil wala pa naman siyang gagawin ay naisipan na lamang n'ya ang mahiga sa sun lounger na nakapwesto malapit sa beach. She took off her cover up shirt, revealing her white bikini before lying down the lounger.The place was nice and peaceful, dahil na rin sa iilan lang ang mga bisitang naroon. Kaya naman, hindi na niya maiwasan ang mapaidlip. At kung hindi pa lumamig ang pakiramdam n'ya sa paligid ay hindi pa siya magigising.Madilim na nang magising siy

    "I'm not assuming things, Engineer De Chavez. You're creeping me out, that's what's on my mind." She fired back.But Maverick didn't react and instead, held her on her shoulders and turned to face the show. He stayed behind her, arms around her shoulders."Are you trying to kill me?" She asked, feeling more awkward about their position."Stop with your imagination, Emilia. We're here to see the show," Maverick answered."Yeah. We're here to watch the fire dance, not you being so clingy on me," she butted in.Maverick released her and when she looked at him, his brow was already arched and his arms were crossed to his chest.

    "Is this okay?" She asked Maverick, showing the bread knife."That will do," he said and took it from her hand and with a blink, Maverick tore his shirt open.And she don't know why, but seeing him topless in front of her, up close, makes her mouth dry. Hindi naman ito ang unang beses na nakita niyang hubad si Maverick, pero bakit parang iba ang dating nito ngayon sa kan'ya.Must be the alcohol. She convinced herself."Are you done?" She asked and tried to help him remove his shirt. Nanginginig pa ang mga kamay n'ya ng hilaan iyon paalis sa braso nito. "May kailangan ka pa?" Tanong n'ya ulit.And Maverick being Maverick, inirapan siya nito tapos ay itinuro ang pinto. "I'm good here. Labas ka na," ani nito."Uh...sige..." She said, trying really hard to fix her eyes in his face but she couldn't, her eyes kept on gliding down his body.Damn that abs! He fucking have eight packs!"Labas na, Gianna Emilia." Maverick

    "Put me down, Maverick!" she shouted from his back, wiggling and punching his back. But this guy didn't even flinch. He walks straight to their room and puts her down the bed."Now, tell me what your problem is." Maverick said. He was leaning to her, making her lean backwards."Move, Maverick. You're invading my personal space," she said instead of answering.Maverick brow arched. "Invading your personal space, huh? Do you want me to tell you how you cling to me every night in your sleep?" it said.Her eyes widened. She pushed Maverick off her but it was so hard as stone that it didn't even move a little. "Stop making up stories! I don't do that!" she fired back.Maverick smirked at her. "Really? How do you know when you're sleeping comfortably in my arms?"She shook her head. She can't believe what he is saying. Hell! When did she become clingy? No, that's surely a lie. He just made those to tease her, she told herself.

    Maverick was stunned by what she said. He wasn't saying anything and was just staring at her. So, she smiled and caressed his both cheeks using her thumbs."You don't have to answer. I just really want to tell you how I feel," she said.Maverick held both of her hands that are still in his face, he removed it from there and squeezed."You're making me happy, Emilia. I can't believe a small woman like you can make me feel so much happiness," he said and she couldn't help but roll her eyes from his remark."Ang yabang mo alam mo?" She fired back.Maverick laughed then pulled her to embrace, she can feel the vibration of his laughter from his chest."I like you so much, Emilia. I might not be where you are already, but I assure you that I'm almost there," he said, cupping her face. "Can you wait for me?" He then asked.Without thinking any further, she nodded with a wide smile. "I will," she answered.She knows she's betting on a gamble again but it's Maverick, her husband and the father

    "Will you please listen to me first?" Maverick asked, stopping her from totally leaving by holding her on her elbow."What do I have to hear, Maverick? I'm not stupid, I know where I should stand in every situation," she said.Ano pa ba kasi ang dapat niyang marinig? Hindi pa ba sapat na sobra na siyang nasasaktan dahil sa nalaman n'ya? Kailangan niya pa bang makarinig ng iba para ano? Para masaktan lang siya lalo? Huwag na lang."Honey...""Maverick naman!" She asked, turning to face him."Just hear me out, please? I don't want you to sleep upset because of me again," he said."Ano pa ba kasing kailangan

    Everything happened too fast. One moment, she was watching how her gift fell on the ground and on how Maverick stepped on the sonogram because he's in a hurry to attend to Jordyn. And another moment, she's watching her husband as it worries about his ex-girlfriend who's giving birth at the moment.Her heart aches at the scene she's seeing. She can't help but wonder if he would be like this when it's her time to give birth.Surely, he will. It's his child after all but how about her?

    Dim lights, scented candles, and a table set romantically. It was the scene she came to the moment she stepped in their unit.And behind those is Maverick who's nervously smiling at him with a bouquet of flowers in his hands."What are these?" She asked.Maverick took a step closer to her and handed her the flowers. "I don't know what exactly I've done wrong for you to get mad but still, I want to apologize. I'm so sorry, honey, if I get you upset. I promise I won't do it again," it said.And she was stunned in her spot.How?How could she stay mad if he's like this?No, Gian. You can't. Remember, he's still in love with his ex!She told herself.But when did we win against ourselves? Never, she thinks."I'm not mad," she said, accepting the bouquet."But you're upset. I'm sorry, hon.

    Maverick being too clingy and sweet becomes normal for Emilia. It no longer makes her feel awkward nor surprised butkilig, always.Maverick turns out to be different from who he was trying to appear at their wedding; he was not arrogant nor snobbish. He is actually a very sweet and thoughtful man. And she's thankful for having him as her husband."Hon..." Maverick called her. He was on his working table inside their room while she's on the bed, laying."Hmm?" She responded with eyes closed. Lately, she's been feeling sick a lot. She knew what might be the reason but she didn't want to excite herself yet not until she confirmed it."Connor's coming. Is it okay?" Maverick asked.
