PROLOGUE|Ciela Luna’s POV|I was walking gracefully at the venue of my friend's wedding today wearing my emerald green gown. I'm one of her bridesmaids together with our other friends who seems to be late again, Hays! Lagi nalang! It's a garden wedding and it's very beautiful! This has always been my dream wedding but I guess it will be all just a dream. I craned my neck once again to look for the other bridesmaids at agad akong napangiti nang makita silang nagmamadaling maglakad papunta sa direksyon ko. "Always been late," puna ko nang makatayo sila sa harap ko.Rose scoffs at me. "We're sorry okay! Jennie’s fault!" sagot niya. Napailing nalang din ako. Lima kaming magkakaibigan, Ako, Jisoo, Rose, Jennie at ang ikakasal naming kaibigan na si Lisa sa kanyang boyfriend na si Jae, half korean din. Jung Jae-in. Jae is a nice guy at aaminin ko ilang beses ko pa lamang siyang nakasama dahil sa sobrang busy akong tao, at hindi rin gusto ng boyfriend ko na nakikisalamuha ako sa ibang
| Ciela’s POV |Bata pa lamang ako I've always wanted to make my Mom proud. I always made sure that everything I do results in her happiness as well. That's why I did my best in academics and even now that I'm already an adult and working. I've been a very good daughter and always makes sure that I don't disappoint her. Because her happiness is my happiness too. Dahil ayokong bigyan siya ng sakit ng ulo, dahil naniniwala ako na sobra na yung sakit na naranasan niya sa buhay. She and my Dad are now separated and having their own lives. But my Dad and I are on good terms. Maayos kaming lumaki kahit na broken family kami. And I love my Dad so much. Oh, he's Korean and my mom is a pure Filipina, so I'm half blooded as well as my sister, Camille. My life is complicated but yes I'm happy with it. Everything is on plan and I'm actually living on how to execute those plans. I have a boyfriend and I'm in a long-term relationship with him, six long years of being with him is quite... fun. See
| Ciela’s POV |Everybody was clapping their hands and cheering loudly at this very lovely time of my life. I gulped down the nervousness I'm feeling inside of me, as I stared one by one at the smiling faces around me. They were cheering for me, for you, for us as you knelt down holding that ring as you asked for my hand.I look back at the people I love one by one, while holding these beautiful bouquet of roses, my Mom was crying while smiling at me dearly, my father is nodding his head, your parents are also in tears of joy as they hold their phones while taking a video of us as well as my sister, my breathing was heavy as I look at each one of them. My tears were in the brim of my eyes and I looked down at you. Aaminin ko, hindi pa ako handang magpakasal dahil para sa akin nag uumpisa pa lang ako sa career ko. But looking at how happy my mom is, looking how happy everybody is.. "How can I say no?" tanging nasambit ko at kusang pumatak ang luha sa aking mata habang nakangiti sa iy
| Ciela’s POV |Jackson and I are now in a dinner meeting with our wedding planner Rhaj, together with my friends, Rose, Jisoo and Jennie."I'm so thankful that you lined up us immediately to your schedules Rhaj, I owe you big time." Jackson sincerely thanked him and I smiled at him. "No worries, Jack. Makakasiguro kang isa ang kasal mo sa mga bonggang weddings na iha-handle ko." sabi nito, Rhaj is gay and I can say that he's meticulous when it comes to his craft. "Well I do trust you on this one, I trust you with my fiancè she'll be the one you're going to be planning with while I'll fly back to New York tomorrow so I can finish everything before our wedding." Jackson casually said and Rhaj turned to me and gave me a soft smile."So maybe I should get first your basic details so that I can file a request for your Cenomar at PSA." ani Rhaj na talaga namang ikinalaki ng mata ko at ng mga kaibigan ko, halos mabilaukan pa si Jennie nang marinig ang sinabi ng baklang planner. "No!" mal
| Ivan’s POV |"What do you mean he's nowhere to be found?!" I asked my brother Jonathan on the other line. "He's in New Zealand doing god knows what." my brother answered dryly."New Zealand?!" I repeat his words. I frustratedly rand my hands through my hair as I gape at you, your bambi brown eyes are fixed on mine and suddenly I felt conscious about my looks. Damn it, Ivan. This isn't the right time to think about your looks! "Why are you suddenly looking for Mark? Is there a problem Ivan?" my brother asked in an interrogative tone. "Nothing, I'll see you later." I said as I dropped the call. I sighed as I looked at you slowly. I remain a flat expression as I study your face, your whole existence in front of me. You're still that gorgeous woman I met years ago but obviously you've grown a little bit mature now.We were in a small coffee shop as we talk about this fucking marriage thing between us. My head is pounding with this information you just bombed in front of me. I was
Ciel's POVPagbaba ko sa sasakyan ay tiningala ko ang mataas na building na nasa harap ko. I lowered my sunglasses and gaped at the tall building. Does he really own this?! Gaano ba siya kayaman para magmay-ari ng building na may 50 floors? Hays. Napa facepalm na lamang ako nang maalala na isa ka nga palang Kim. And the Kim Line was known to be royals as hoteliers. Tsk. Wait. You're my husband and I'm your wife, you are a Kim so technically... I'm also a Kim? Agad akong napailing sa mga naiisip ko, goodness gracious! Dali dali akong pumasok sa building at napadpad ako dito sa lobby. Agad akong sinalubong ni Mr. Ho, your secretary. I lowered my sunglasses as soon as I reached him standing near the lobby's couch. "Where is he? Did he already find a lawyer?" I asked as I wandered my eyes around looking for you. But you're nowhere to be found.."Good morning Mrs. Kim. Nasa pad pa po niya si Mr.Kim." the secretary politely answered.Napalingon ako kay Mr. Ho because of the way he
| Ciel's POV |I was staring down nervously at my notes. I don't know how I'll break it to you, yung mga inilista kong possible grounds for our separation, my anxiety is driving me nuts but I need to do this! Do it, Ciela! Para sa kasal mo, para kay Jackson.. I was nervous dialling your personal number because I can't discuss this personal matter with your secretary. "Hello? Yes, my wife?” There you go again, calling me ‘my wife’. “Hello, Ivan–”“Wait, I can't hear you well because of the poor signal, I was out of town." putol mo sa sasabihin ko. Out of town? Hm."Hello, Ivan? Nakausap ko na si Att. Zaldua regarding sa grounds na pwede nating magamit sa case natin." I said nervously peeking down at my notes.You didn’t answer right away so I continued talking."Now I need to know the names of all the girls that you dated, I'll interview them to get some statement regarding your... your... uhmm.. regarding your.. performance.." I gulped as I whispered the last word. Nag-iingat at
