Shailene's POV

I'm in mall to buy some designer's dress with Selena. I really need to buy some dresses right now because I've been so busy in our business and I really think I deserve this.

I was about to pick the yellow Gucci dress when someone's hand picked it. I was so irritated when I saw Nicole Arlene Valdez. She's also the heiress of the Valdez Glamours Company or the VGC. I really hate her since I met her in one of galas that attended back then. She really wants her company to be in top of mine.

"This is mine," she said.

I rolled my eyes. "It's not yours. I was about to pick it pero kinuha mo agad. Bitch!" I replied.

She laughed sarcastically. "Oh! Shailene Kendra Aquino, you are like that now? You want just some dresses like this. How about magpagawa ka na lang kaya ng sarili mong dress?! I think, it will not fit you. Tumataba ka!" she insulted.

Napatingin ako kay Selena at halata ang gulat sa kanyang mukha. "How dare you to say that in my friend? Hindi naman siya tumataba. Baka ikaw!" Selena said.

"Selena, a friend of Shailene. Both cheap girls who really think always in top." Nicole said.

I was about to slap her but Clark came at sinalo niya ang kamay ko. I was also irritated by his look.

"What happened?" he asked Nicole.

Oh! He's really not going to ask me huh?!

"Kukunin kasi niya sa'kin itong dress na napili ko, Lonzo." pagsusumbong niya.

Wow, Lonzo huh? Ang arte naman.

"Shai, what happened to you? You can get some dress naman. Kung sa kanya ito. Choose something else." Clark's said.

"Yeah, hindi 'yung kinukuha mo 'yung hindi iyo." Nicole seconded.

I threw all of the dresses in my hands in front of them before I left.

Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko. My husband is with someone else. I know na malaking eskandalo din 'yun and that line is Gucci, maraming mga nakakilala sa amin do'n and maybe may mga reporters din to get film what happened.

"Are you okay?" Selena asked.

"I'm okay but I'm just thinking about what will next happened? What if may mga reporters doon? My husband is with someone else." I responded.

Selena bring me home after what all happened. She cooked lunch for me and we ate together. Umuwi rin siya pagkatapos naming maghugas ng plato at naiwan naman akong mag-isa. I decided to watch a N*****x in our television sa sala. Not waiting for him but to wait for the night to come.

Natapos ko na ang isang series na walang nararamdamang gutom when I heard a car came. Narinig ko rin ang pagbukas ng guard sa gate. Wala kaming helper kaya ako na lang din ang nagbukas sa kanya bago tahimik na lang na pumasok sa kwarto ko.

I opened my laptop to finish some of my unfinished works when I heard a knock. Hindi ko siya pinagbuksan pero bumukas ang pinto kasi may susi siya ng lahat ng kwarto.

He sat in the edge of my bed while I'm just too silent.

"Sorry for what happened," he said.

Hindi ako nagsalita.

"I just don't want you to be like that. Mabait naman si Nicole. She's my childhood friend. Magiging magkaibigan din kayo." sabi niya na nagpa-init ng dugo ko.

"Magiging magkaibigan? It's not that she's your friend e magiging kaibigan ko na siya. I really hate her and I know that she hates me too and you know what is our problem now. Baka nakuha pa ng mga reporters 'yung mga nangyari kanina. You are with someone else." mahabang sabi ko.

Tumayo siya na para bang galit na galit. "Are you jealous?" he asked.

Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. I'm not jealous or am I look like one?

"Just thinking about our family's reputation." I reasoned out.

He laughed. "Tahimik na ang mga reporters na nakakita sa'tin kanina. I cleaned it already. Don't be too obvious." he said before he left.

Huh? Ako, obvious?

Clark's POV

I was so guilty by what I did. I also checked the kitchen kung nagluto ba siya or hindi. Napag-alaman ko na hindi siya nagluto because of the some kitchen tools. Hindi ito mukhang bagong hinugasan.

I cooked for our dinner. Nilagay ko ang lahat ng pagkain sa tray bago ko inakyat sa kwarto niya. She's already sleeping. Hinaplos ko ang buhok niya. She looks really pretty but I don't like her. I don't like someone who's just force to love me. For me, girls is just for fun but when I met my the one. I will love her faithfully. But I think, this girl is not the girl for me. Ayoko sa taong napipilitan sa akin. I want a girl who loves me with whole of her heart. Not by force of someone.

"Uhm," she woke up.

"Let's eat," I said.

Inalis ko ang kamay ko sa buhok niya at umupo naman siya agad.

"Really sorry for what happened. Ayoko lang talaga na umabot ito sa parents natin." I said.

We ate together. No one's talking. We're just silent.

Nang matapos kaming kumain ay tumayo siya para ligpitin ito. "Ako na," I volunteered.

"No, I can do this." she said.

I let her doing it. Bumalik na ako agad sa kwarto ko. I acted normal again. Kinabukasan, hindi ako sumabay sa kanyang mag-breakfast. I went to my company habang siya'y tulog pa.

I went home at eight in the evening. I saw her cooking in the kitchen.

Lumapit ako sa kanya. "I know that it's been hard for you to live in the same house and I know na hindi ka naman gaanong gumagawa ng household chores sa bahay niya. So, let's fix this." I started.

She turned to me. "Fix this?" she asked curiously.

I've been thinking this for days. I know that our parents will really disappointed to us but we both know that we didn't like this. She's just doing this for their company and I'm doing this to make our company popular like them.

"Let's file an annulment after six months." I said.

Her eyebrows furrowed. "And what will be our reason?" she really looks curious.

"Let's make an issue about our marriage..."

"I don't know if you were informed by what happened last night but for sure hindi 'yun lumabas sa media because you know Clark. Muntik nang may nangyari sa'min ni Charles pero dumating siya."
