The Volunteer Bride

*Allessandro*"Mauro, do I have to be with her for a week?" Naiirita kong tanong habang pinagmamasdan siyang ini impake ang mga damit ko.I hate being with any girl.Wala sa agenda ng buhay ko ang pumunta ng ibang bansa para lang mag spend ng time sa isang babae. It's a waste of time. Mas gugustuhin ko pa ang magkulong sa loob ng kuwarto ko at magtrabaho maghapon.Hindi ko maintindihan kong bakit kailangan ko pang gawin ito. I have already married her. Sa totoo lang wala lang talaga akong choice. Ni'y hindi sinabi sa akin ni Mauro na ako pala ang ikakasal 'nung araw na pumunta kami ng simbahan. It's a surprise na sobrang ikinagulat ko as in. Paano pa ako aatras kung naroroon lahat ng pamilya ko pati na rin ang napakaraming mga usyoserong reporters."She's your wife, Allessandro." Maikling tugon niya.Napa ismid ako."Wife. I didn't know anything about her. How come she became my wife?" I said, still iritated.Napatingin siya sa akin."I made sure that she's capable of being your wife.

*Allessandro*"Benvenuto Signore." Magalang na pagbati ng isang lalaki pagkalabas ko ng sasakyan. Nasa Italy ako ngayon kasama si Alana at nasa harap ako ngayon ng Ceilo hotel. Pag aari ito ng isa sa mga kakilala ko sa negosyo. Actually pauwi na sana kami ng Pilipinas kaya lang may biglang tumawag sa akin last night and he insisted me to attend to a ball. My father was born here in Italy, napadpad lang siya sa Philippines dahil nabihag ng isang dalagang Pilipina ang puso niya. He met my mom in Italy when she was on vacation here. At simula noong araw na nakita niya si mom ay hindi na niya ito hinayaang makawala pa. Sinundan niya ito sa Pilipinas at nanatili roon ng halos isang buwan. Araw-araw niyang binibisita si mom sa bahay nito. He's persistent because he knows what he really wanted at iyon ay ang mabihag din ang puso ni mom katulad ng ginawa nito sa kaniya. Napukaw ang ginawa kong pagbabalik tanaw sa nakaraan nang makita ang paglabas ni Alana sa sasakyan. She's wearing her black

*Allessandro*"Diego, pick up my wife right now. I want her to be in my house right now." Bossy kong utos sa bagong driver ko.I have to hire a new one because Mr. Garcia needs to recover from the mess that he got into while working on me.I bow to him. He's very dedicated to his job. I want to keep him, but I have to let him go.Malakas ang kutob ko na ang mga tauhan ni Russo ang nagtangkang kumitil sa buhay ni Steeve. They have to pay for what they did. I've already settled everything for them. I don't want to be more cruel. I can't kill him yet, but I can make his life crumble into pieces. I will make him suffer slowly until he has no choice but to choke himself because of frustration and guilt. Well, I loved torturing anyone who deserved to be tortured."Did you hear me? I want my wife here in my house right now." Kinailangan ko pang ulitin ang sinabi ko ilang segundo palang ang nakalilipas. Parang hindi yata kasi ako naintindihan ni Diego."Yes, Mr. Castellucio, I understand." Ma

*Allessandro*"Mauro! Where the hell is my phone?" Umuusok ang ilong ko sa galit. Nagmamadali namang lumapit sa desk ko si Mauro. Humahangos pa siya."Where did you put it?" Medyu hapo pa siya nang magsalita.Nahampas ko ang desk ko.It's been five minutes at hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong nagagawang trabaho.I don't know what's going on with me. Siguro hindi ko lang matanggap na Alana rejected me. I allow her to sleep next to me, but I think it's not a good idea. Maybe she is just married to me because she had no choice, just like she always said.I kissed her last night, but only a kiss. When I told her I wanted more from her, she got out of my room and ran away. I guess she was scared of everything. Maybe it's too early to claim what is mine. I can't help myself. I want her. She's my wife. She's mine.I'm still confused about what's happening to me. I thought I could ignore her. It's only a thought because as the days passed, I became more interested in Alana. She is slowly

*Alana*Ilang gabi na akong hindi makatulog dahil sa katangahang ginawa ko. Muntik ko na talagang maisuko ang perlas ng silanganan. Kapag nagkataon hindi ko na matutupad 'yong pangako kong kay Sean ko lang iaalay ang lahat. I'm still obsessed with him. Kahit na may guwapo at hot na akong asawa.Binuksan ko ang Instagram ko, isa lang ang tanging reason kung bakit ako gumagamit ng Instagram.Kaagad kong tiningnan kung may bagong upload bang mga pictures si Sean. Ang hot ng reels niya. Nakatopless lang naman siya habang nagbubuhat ng barbell niya na kasing bigat ko na yata.Kinikilig ako habang pinagmamasdan siya.Hindi lang siya isang magaling at sikat na artista, isa din siyang model. May isa pa akong nagustuhan sa kaniya. Sobrang galing niya sa painting. Actually, I bought one of his paintings. Kahit na mahal 'yon, binili ko pa rin. Katumbas na yata 'non ang tatlong buwan kung sahod kaya tatlong buwan din akong nagtipid.Napa-igtad ako nang tumunog ang phone ko na nasa bulsa ko."Jack
