Lahat ng Kabanata ng Take Me: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

We took pictures with our family and left for our reception. I had to change into another dress. It was one hell of a reception. The place was packed with people. People congratulated us.I pretty much stood in the same place that night. Adagio was busy with the guests and so was my family. My college friends came in and gave me company until they had to leave. I did tell them about the contract, though I shouldn't. I trust them. They consoled me and told me it would be fine. Of course, it will be... When we get a divorce. I can't get my head around the fact that this has something to do with more than just money. Or maybe just money but it seems to have a bigger story behind it. How do I know it? My guts tell me so.Just the look in my parents' eyes tells me there is something deeper than just this contract marriage. "Hello, Aster!" A voice chirped joyfully, breaking me out of my thoughts. It was an unfamiliar face that awfully looked just like mine. A silent gasp left my mouth in

The following day, Micha was curled up next to me in my room as I read a romance novel. Adagio and I have not seen each other since this morning.I was content and at ease even though I had to do something I did not want to. I never had depression or obsessive worry about things. I let it go and accept it, whether I like it or not. What else can we do? Waste our happy lives? That's a no.A knock on the door startled me. Micha was also startled by the sudden noise and let out a bark. "Come in," I said, closing my book. One of the maids entered the room, holding a box.My curiosity piqued, and I asked her, "What's that, Mary?" Mary let out a soft laugh. I approached her, and she handed me the box, saying, "Master asked me to give it to you."Unknowingly, a smile appeared on my face. "Thank you, Mary," I said with a smile. "Master said he'll be home at 1 p.m. to pick you up," she said, as my head snapped back into place. I had completely forgotten about it.My gaze was drawn to t

Aster~I'm currently on a private jet and have no idea what to do. I've already finished watching two or three movies. We are apparently going on a honeymoon to Bora Bora, which is miles away and takes about 28 hours to get there from Paris.This is tiring, man. Adagio is sitting beside me, but this wall separates us for privacy reasons. This is already exhausting; who wants to deal with that man?He has been focused on his work for hours and does not appear to be taking a break. So how do I know? I could hear the clicking of his laptop, and it went on for hours. I'm done worrying about the contract, the heir, the lies, and everything. As I said before, I cannot worry about things excessively or for an extended period of time. Maybe I will later when I have to face it again, but for now, I am as bubbly as ever before.I'm bored and feeling talkative, so I might as well gather my courage and talk to this guy. To be honest, I get nervous every time I stand in front of a man, with the ex

Adagio~I have not been in my right mind since the marriage. I've been out of control, unstable, and insane. However, I can't let my weaknesses spread all over the place.I get ahold of it and deal with shit like I have for years, and now there's Aster. Her problematic a** never shuts down, and dealing with her is becoming increasingly annoying.Although I do not like her, there is something about her that strangely rules me, which I despise.Getting the work done isn't easy. Mother and father have been urging me to do it with Aster, but overcoming her stubborn nature is too difficult. Not that I can't control or handle her, but given her lack of experience, I'm taking it slowly.There is no way out for either her or me; we are stuck. All of this is totally ridiculous to me; Father and his desires are out of reach. It's unfortunate that I have no choice but to give in.These days, all I think about is my father, Aster, and the contract; I live to work, and having barriers over which I

Aster~I can't stand him! How difficult can it be, to be honest? I walked to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I am preparing dinner, and he is eating it whether or not he enjoys it.As thoughts raced through my mind, I realized that my anger washed away before I knew it, but only when it came to Adagio. I made up my mind to ask him about his troubles because I know I can't rest without being a part of the solutions to his problems. I realize that I can't make things okay; perhaps I could at least try to make it feel like it is. Dinner was ready, and I was on my way to call Adagio from his study. Contract or not, since the day I was married to him, I have always wanted to give all the love and care that a wife has to offer, even when it meant I would receive nothing but coldness and pain. Though I break out in anger, I find it difficult to give up on him. Ever since I started trying to find him, I have been on the edge of losing myself to him. I do not know when it will be until I fall
