All Chapters of My Husband Is Yours: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

THIS LIFE IS SO SHITTY!" Bumagsak ako sa upuan at gigil na sinuntok ang mesa. Nasa bar ako after the stressful confrontation with my foolish ex. How come kasing-kapal ng mukha niya ang semento?"What a thick-faced, unsatisfied fool!” Sa sobrang galit ko, my growling voice clashed against the disco sound below. “Paano niya nagawang ipagpalit ako sa… sa ano… God, I hate to say this, pero bakit sa pangit pa?! Fuck, I am anyone's dream! And he only chose a freaking baduy, disgusting, and lowly slut like her… over me! Unbelievable!""Come on, Siz. Don't think about na. Hindi ka niya deserve. He’s not worth it.""Siz, exactly!" Eliza, my gay best friend, is never wrong. That's why I super love her frankness. "I just can't believe that he'd make out with that girl. Eh, mukha ngang bad breath 'yong impaktitang 'yon!""Ano ka ba. Baka naloko lang din 'yong babae. We should blame the cheater who hurt you and the illegal kabit,” she sounded so demure. “Si Jacob, sa kanya ka magalit. Okay? Siya

MINULAT KO ANG MGA MATA KO. Isang kulay peach na kisame ang tumambad sa akin. Unti-unti, umupo ako sa kama habang hawak ang noo ko. I feel an aching pressure on my skull. Mas lalo lang sumakit iyon nang masuri ko ang kabuoan ng kwarto.Shit. Anong ginawa ko kagabi?Where the heck is my pink bed? Where are my heart-shaped couches? Who the hell replaced my cherry blossom curtains?Bigla akong napatakip ng bibig nang may ma-realize. Ang yaman ng kumidnap sa akin at dinala pa ako sa isang condo. How considerate can this kidnapper be?The interiors were minimalistic. Akala ko'y peach ang kulay ng kwarto, but as I observed, they were painted white. Nakasara pa ang kulay gray na kurtina kaya medyo madilim sa loob. The lamp on the bedside table was the one emitting yellow-peach light.Natauhan ako bigla kaya bilis-bilis kong sinilip ang ilalim ng comforter. Every small thing in this room reminds me of a man. Kung disente man o hindi, it doesn't matter. What matters now is my dignity. A decen

"MY GOSH, SIR! Is that how you flirt with girls?!" Tumayo ako, takip-takip pa rin ang malambot at masarap na labi ko. Undeniably, this man looks so angelic, parang mapapadasal ako. But his build, his moves… are aggressive. He's giving me the soft yet wild boy type. At naniniwala ako na ang mga taong ganoon, they are the dangerous ones."Oh, you don't have to smooch my lips to prove all of it!""Jesus, Miss. I shouldn't have told you that-""No!" I shook my head. "I think I should have been more open-minded!""It came out the bad way. I'm sorry-""No, Sir! Ako dapat ang humihingi ng tawad…" With that, I touched my chest. Tinitigan ko siya nang nagbabaga para madama niyang nagsisisi ako. That a softy beast like him should spare me."I'm sorry I made quite a lot of wrong accusations against you. Akala ko kidnapper ka because I awoke in a different unit. Akala ko rin isa kang sexual predator kasi iba na ang damit ko pag gising ko! Mas lumala pa nung lumabas kang topless sa bathroom! An

MABUTI NAMAN at gising ka na. Halika na rito at kumain nang may sama ng loob."That was Eliza standing behind the dining table. Nagsasalin siya ng iced tea para sa dalawang baso habang nagpupunas naman ako ng aking buhok. "Wala kang work today?" tanong ko. "I thought you were going on a business trip.""Duh… It was cancelled.""Really?" I pulled a chair and sat on it. "Did something happen? Baka makatulong ako.""Oh, no. You don't. Wala namang emergency.""Wala?"Who would cancel a meeting without a reason? That's messed up.I saw Eliza sigh and walked towards the kitchen counter. Bumalik siya nang may dalang isang malaking bowl of rice."I cancelled it," bigla ay niya."My God, Eli… Why?""Because I'm worried about you." Dali-dali siyang umupo sa tabi ko pagkatapos ilapag ang kanin. "I lost sight of you last night. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Hindi naman pwedeng hindi kita hanapin." "Umuwi naman ako. You should've gone for the trip. Tell them you're not cancelling it.""Ana…" Hin

OH, MY GOD! Napaaga ka!"I bolted inside the condo and threw my bag away, disarranging the glass souvenirs. Hindi ako makapag-isip nang tama sanhi para magpapadyak-padyak ako sa inis at galit."I hate them!" hiyaw ko. "I hate them! I hate them! How can they make me suffer more!?""Ana, wait! What is going on?!"Naglakad sa harap ko si Eliza at hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat ko. Her eyes look so confused and worried, and I even promised to behave in front of her. Pero hindi ko kaya sa oras na ito. Parang nabasag lahat ng plinano ko sa buhay. I can't contain my anger knowing that any time soon, my parents would push through it and I would be locked up in a boring, lifeless, lonely marriage! Forever!"Tell me what the hell is going on, Ana!" Mas tinaasan ako ng boses ni Eliza. "Sabihin mo sa akin, Anastasia! May nangyari ba? May humahabol ba sa'yo? And the dinner, how was it? Did something come up again?"I frowned, then shook my head slowly and repeatedly like a child. Eliza tucked
