CHAPTER 17Halos hindi na ako makahinga ng maayos dahil ang lapit na namin sa isat-isa, bukod pa roon ay ang lalim ng titig niya sa akin. He licked his lower lip before speaking."You have to fulfill your duties as a wife to me, whether you like it or not.”It felt like the world stop right after those words came out from his mouth. Is he being serious right now? Why is he saying this? Ano kaya ang nakain niya at nagde-demand siya ng ganito?He's telling me to be faithful to him, and that is it!Mag tatanong pa sana ako sa kanya kung bakit pero nagsalita siyang muli.“And expect me to do my part. I will also fulfill my duties as a husband to you.” His eyes remained staring at mine and his words felt true.That was reassuring, but still... I have my doubts.“Is this for real? Bakit naman iyan ang naisip mo?” As I said the last word, I withdraw a step to keep a space between us and he only watched me do that.“Why not?” he replied shortly.Mukhang ang lakas talaga ng trip niya ngayon.

That's all and again, thank you! Yours truly, sweetmarie ❤️
CHAPTER 18 I was on my way to the bar to unwind when my phone rang. When I took my phone out and stared upon the screen that’s when I knew, who was calling. “Hello, Mom…” my voice trailed out. Bakit napatawag si Mommy Valeen sa akin? “Mauveine, I’m sorry for calling you. Mikael is not answering my calls.” Her apologetic tone was evident. Talagang hindi masasagot ni Mikael ang mga tawag niya dahil nakita kong iniwan lang niya ang phone niya sa hotel, bago kami umalis roon. Ipinaliwanag ko iyon kay mom at naintindihan naman niya. At kung dinala man ni Mikael ang phone niya ay hindi pa rin niya iyon masasagot dahil abala siya panglalandi ng ibang babae. Remembering that scene just made me more irritated! Nang marinig kong muli ang aking pangalan sa kabilang linya ay muntik ko nang mabitawan ang phone ko. I was spacing out! “Mom?” It was a good thing that mom has a long patience that she repeated what she has said a moment ago. Importante siguro ang sasabihin ni mom dahil nagawa na
PROLOGUEPabalik-balik na akong naglalakad sa loob ng kwarto ko. Hindi ako mapakali. Napasabunot nalamang ako sa buhok ko at inihilamos ang palad ko sa mukha ko.“Hindi pwede… Ayaw ko…”“Hindi ko siya gusto…”Lumipas pa ang ilang sandali iyon pa rin ang nasa isip ko. Nang makaramdam na ako ng pagod ay agad akong napahiga sa kama ko.“I don’t want to marry him!”Sana naman ay nanaginip lang ako. Ilang beses ko na ring kinurot ang tagiliran ko, nasampal ko na nga ang sariling mukha pero… Totoo na talaga ‘to, hindi talaga ako nananaginip o ano. Sasabunutan ko pa sana ang sarili ko nang may marinig akong kumakatok sa pintuan ng aking kwarto. Si Yaya Melody pala. Sinabi niya sa akin na pinapupunta raw ako ni Dad sa opisina na. Agad akong nanlumo doon. I don’t really think that I could see him right now. Sa pabor ba naman na hinihingi ni Dad ay ayaw ko muna siyang makita. Masyado niya akong ginulat! Pero hindi ko siya pwedeng suwayin lalo na’t ipinapatawag niya ako ngayon, kailangan ko siy
CHAPTER 1 Nakailang buntong-hininga na ako mula pa kanina. Seeing this annoying jerk in front of me did not help either. Bakit nga ba siya nandito? Mukhang mas lalong masisira pa ang araw ko dahil sa presensiya niya. Nang tuluyan na siyang humarap sa akin ay parang gusto ko ng maglaho. Itinuon nito ang tingin sa akin ay hindi agad ako nakapagsalita. His annoying smirk showed off and I rolled my eyes at him. “Why are you here, Mister Mikael Valiente?” mataray kong tanong sa kanya. He handed me a syllabus. Nagdalawang-isip pa nga ako kung tatanggapin ko iyon, pero sa huli ay kinuha ko pa rin. I heard him murmuring about something, but I shrugged it off. Nang suriin ko itong mabuti ay doon ko napansin na kapareho ito ng ibinigay sa akin ni Head Mistress. I squinted my eyes to the bottom part of the paper. Iyong bahagi lang naman ang hindi pamilyar sa akin. Mikael Jarren Valiente Mauveine Zelliana Arellano Napaawang ang bibig ko nang mabasa ko iyon ng tuluyan. Isa lang naman ang ibi
CHAPTER 2“Head Mistress Marthana called me earlier, Mauveine.”Nanlumo ako sa sinabing iyon ni dad. Yumuko at ipinikit ko na lamang nang mariin ang aking mga mata. Mas lalong bumigat ang paghinga ko dahil roon.Agad kong naalala ang sinabi sa akin ni Head Mistress na hindi raw ito makararating kay dad. And here we are, Head Mistress was a liar after all. Isinantabi ko muna iyon dahil mayroon pa akong dapat problemahin. Dad is now disappointed at me.“You had a fight with… someone named Anastasia?” he slammed his hands against the table.I almost jumped out of what dad did. I did not expect that. I curled my fingers immediately because it was already trembling.“I just defended my best friend Shaia, dad…” halos hindi ko na maibuka nang maayos ang aking bibig.“I don’t care! You shouldn’t have yourself involved in that situation!” hindi ako makapaniwala sa sinabi niyang iyon. He knows that I’ve been good friends with Shaia since we were seven. Hearing that from him feels like he doesn’
CHAPTER 3I was dead silent as the woman helped me to wear this dress.I can’t believe I’m wearing this.Nang tignan ko ang sarili kong repleksyon sa salamin ay doon ko napansin ang desenyo nito. I’m currently wearing a long-sleeve lace dress with pearl accents. I traced the intricate design of the gown with my fingers, and I could tell this must have cost much.At kahit anong iginanda ng wedding dress na ito ay hindi-hindi maikukubli nito ang pagtutol ko sa kasal.“It looks so good on you! You’ll have my best wishes to your wedding, Madame.” The woman said cheerfully to me.“Thank you.” Mahinang sagot ko sa kanya. Only if this woman knew, I’m marrying a jerk. But I can’t. I can’t tell everybody that this was just an arranged marriage for convenience. Iyon kasi ang sabi ni dad sa akin. It would cause another scandal if the mass would know that we’re marrying for the sake of our company.Pero alam to ng malapit kong kaibigan na sina Shaia at Deanne. They were so shocked too. The two ev
CHAPTER 4Mas malawak ngunit simple pa sa inaasahan ko ang reception ng kasal. Mula sa kinauupuan ko rito sa harapan ay kitang-kita ko ang kabuuan nito.We’re in the middle of a meadow filled with flowers. White carpet was laid all over the venue. Silver Chiavari chairs with mint green sashes were placed with round tables covered with white cloth. There were also bouquets of flowers place in the middle of the tables.This is an open venue. I think that it’s already 2pm in the afternoon. The sun was not quite harsh, it was bright enough to make this field alive yet not enough to burn our skin. The breeze was calm as if it anticipates our celebration for this afternoon. The weather was perfect because it doesn’t show any chances of raining.Nakita ko ang sunod-sunod na pagdating ng mga bisita. It was evident when fancy cars started to occupy the lot, nearby. Karamihan sa kanila ay ang mga kaibigan ni mom at dad pati na rin ang mga kaibigan ng mga magulang ni Mikael.Sinalubong sila nila
