Chapter 11. Sundo

CHAPTER ELEVEN: SUNDO❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥MAHIGPIT akong kumapit sa railings ng hagdan, nanginginig ang mga kamay ko habang pababa ako, at ramdam ko ang mabilis na paghinga ko dahil sa pagtakbo.Halfway down, I saw Edward waiting at the bottom, his face scrunched with confusion and concern. His eyes widened as he noticed the panic in mine. “Ate Elisse, what happened?” may pag-aalala niyang tanong, but I could barely hear him over the pounding of my heart. Parang ngayon ko lamang siya nakitang ganito, na may emosyon.Maging ang mga maids namin na sina Agnes, Jelay at Moira ay naantala ang mga ginagawang paglilinis, and their expressions shifting from curiosity to alarm. Agnes was the first to rush toward me, her hands reaching out as if to steady me. “Ma’am Elisse, ayos lang po kayo?” Her voice was filled with urgency.Ngunit sa halip na sagutin sila, lalo akong kinabahan nang marinig ko ang mga yabag ni Daddy na tila pababa na rin. Ramdam ko ang panlalamig ng buo kong katawan. Parang bi

Chapter 12. Hope vs. Miles

CHAPTER TWELVE★HOPE RYKER LEE★[FLASHBACK]A month ago.I stepped into GDV Club, and immediately, the heavy bass of the music pulsed through my chest like a second heartbeat. The dim lighting was carefully curated to create an air of mystery, with gold accents glinting from the polished surfaces of the club and the plush velvet lounges. The walls were adorned with abstract art that seemed to dance in the low light, adding a touch of sophistication to the already opulent surroundings.I let my eyes roam over the room, searching for Thunder Villasis. He’s the son of Uncle Gino, one of my father’s oldest friends, and his family owns this club—one of the most prestigious in the city, with branches that have sprung up in the most exclusive locations around the world. This wasn’t just a place where anyone could stroll in; this was a playground for the elite. Celebrities, business moguls, and high-profile socialites flocked here, making it their personal sanctuary for indulgence.Kahit mas

Chapter 13. Teasing Elisse

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: TEASING ELISSE★HOPE RYKER LEE★I guided Elisse out of Miles’ condo, my grip firm around her wrist as we made our way to my car. Pero ‘yong mga hakbang niya, halatang pilit lang dahil nagpapatianod lang naman siya sa paghila ko sa kaniya. Oras na marating na namin ang sasakyan ko, binitawan ko na ang kamay niya at hinarap siya. My brows furrowed, demanding answers without saying a word. She knew exactly what I was asking — what the hell was she doing there? Pero sa halip na sagutin ang mapagtanong kong tingin, butonghininga lang ang ginanti niya sa ‘kin. Her shoulders sagging slightly, avoiding my gaze. Then, as if on cue, she rolled her eyes at me, dismissing my silent interrogation like it was the last thing she cared about. It irritated me how she could remain so nonchalant, so defiant, even when caught red-handed. “What did I tell you before if I ever found out you were meeting with your ex again?” I asked, my tone sharp, reminding her of my warning. “Sinabi m

Chapter 14. Marriage Contract

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: MARRIAGE CONTRACT★HOPE RYKER LEE★Nakahinto na ang sasakyan ko sa harap ng bahay nila, pero pareho kaming hindi pa rin bumababa. Tiningnan ko si Elisse; bahagya siyang nakayuko, parang malayo ang iniisip, habang magkahawak ang pareho niyang kamay sa ibabaw ng hita niya na bahagyang nanginginig. There was a tension around her that hadn’t been there before.“Elisse?” mahina kong tawag sa kaniya. It took a moment, but finally, she seemed to snap back to reality, blinking as if shaking herself awake. “Andito na tayo,” I reminded her. “Sa bahay n’yo.”Napatingin siya sa akin, tapos sa bahay nila, na para bang hindi pa siya handang harapin kung ano man ang naghihintay sa loob. Kitang-kita ko ang pag-aalinlangan sa mukha niya— the way her lips pressed together, the deep breath she took as if she was gearing up for something difficult.Isang malalim na buntonghininga ang pinakawalan niya bago niya buksan ang pinto sa side niya. Sinabayan ko rin siya agad sa pagbaba at sabay

Chapter 15. Fast and Hard

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: FAST AND HARD ❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥ Nakatayo ako sa harap ng full-length mirror sa kilalang boutique ni Phoenix O’Hara. Suot ko na ang wedding gown, and I smoothed down the delicate lace. The fabric was soft against my skin, its intricate patterns catching the light as I turned slightly to see the full effect. I looked like a bride — but I don’t feel like one. Ganunpaman, alam kong wala na ‘tong atrasan. Hindi na ako puwedeng umatras ngayon, lalo na at ako rin naman ang makikinabang sa kasal na ‘to. Ang totoo, matapos ang ginawa sa akin ni Daddy na kawalanghiyaan sa opisina niya, parang nawalan na ako ng gana sa kaniya, sa Garcinema at mas lalo na sa kasal na ‘to. Pero matapos kong matanggap ang text niya kanina, I couldn’t ignore him. He mentioned a business proposal in exchange for the marriage. The idea intrigued me, even though I had no intention of seeing him. Iyon ang dahilan kaya nagpasama ako kay Hope sa bahay. At dahil kasunduan ang tinalakay namin—bago ko si

Chapter 16. Insult

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: INSULT❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥MATAPOS ang dinner namin ni Hope sa malapit na restaurant sa Lee Entertainment, nagpumilit na akong puntahan ang sasakyan ko para habang maaga ay makahanap ako ng hotel kung saan ako puwedeng mag-check in. Hindi ko kasi masabi sa kaniya na wala akong balak umuwi sa amin dahil sa insidente sa opisina ni Dad.“Hatid na kita. Convoy tayo,” suhestyon niya oras na makababa kami sa sasakyan niya pagbalik sa Lee Entertainment.Nilingon ko siya at bahagyang tinaasan ng kilay. “No thanks. I can make it home on my own without getting lost.”He chuckled softly, clearly not buying my excuse. “It’s not about getting lost, Elisse,” aniya. His voice gentle yet persistent. “I just want to make sure you’re safe.”Safe, my ass!Napakagat ako sa labi ko, trying not to show the frustration bubbling inside me. He had no idea about the mess going on with my family, and I wasn’t ready to explain it now. I just wanted to be alone, to clear my head and escape, even if

Chapter 17. Wine

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: WINE★HOPE RYKER LEE★IMBES na umusog sa gilid tulad ng inutos ni Elisse, nagdesisyon akong bumangon sa kama. Dinampot ko ang isang unan at naramdaman ko ang pagsunod ng mga mata niya sa ‘kin habang papunta ako sa masahabang couch sa sulok.“Diyan ka na sa kama. Dito na lang ako,” sabi ko, sabay nilapag ko ang unan sa couch at nahiga. I turned my head to see her watching me, a mixture of confusion and relief crossing her features.Pero halatang pabor na pabor sa kaniya ang ginawa kong paglipat. But I could tell she didn’t understand why I chose this. I didn’t want to make things harder for either of us.“Kapag diyan ako natulog sa tabi mo, ako lang din ang mahihirapan. To-torture-in mo lang ako.” I smirked a little, hoping to lighten the mood, even if just a bit. Kailangan kong dumistansya muna sa kaniya dahil gusto kong igalang ang usapan naming hindi ko siya hahawakan hangga’t hindi kami kasal. The last thing I wanted was to be tempted by her presence so close to

Chapter 18. The Wedding

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE WEDDING★HOPE RYKER LEE★SA WAKAS, ngayong araw na natatapos ang pagbibilang ko. From fifteen days to zero, just like that. The wait, the anticipation, the self-restraint—it was all about to come to an end.Kagabi nga ay halos hindi ako nakatulog dahil sa paghihintay sa araw na ‘to. I was tossing and turning in bed, imagining how everything would play out today—the day Elisse and I would become one, kahit na alam kong arranged marriage lang ang set up namin.Nakatayo ako sa harap ng malaking salamin sa dressing room na kinaroroonan ko, ina-adjust ang necktie ko. Kabado ako kaya naman bahagyang nanginginig ang kamay ko. Ngayon, alam ko na kung ano’ng naramdaman ni Faithfully no’ng siya ang kinasal. Ang nerbyos, ‘di biro guys.Sinubukan kong kalmahin ang sarili ko sa pamamagitan ng ilang pagbuga ng hangin. Hindi naman ako sa ceremony kinakabahan, eh. It was about everything that came after. The long wait, the boundaries we’d set—it was all behind us now. My mind wa

Chapter 19. First Time

CHAPTER NINETEEN: FIRST TIME❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥ORAS na maubos na ang mga bisita namin at nagkaroon na si Hope ng pagkakataong ipagpaalam ako sa pamilya ko at pamilya niya ay hindi na siya nag-aksaya pa ng oras. Kaagad niya akong inakay papunta sa elevator. His grip on my arm was firm, almost too tight, at alam kong dahil ‘yon sa galit niya.I could feel the anger radiating from him, every step heavy with tension. The atmosphere between us had shifted dramatically after what happened at the garden. Sinubukan kong mag-explain sa kaniya kanina, pero bago ko pa man maibuka ang bibig ko ay hinigit na niya ako pabalik sa venue at sinabing humanda raw ako sa kaniya mamaya. At alam kong ngayon na ang oras na ‘yon.I knew exactly where we were headed—to the suite booked for us here in the hotel. At ngayon pa lang ay kinakabahan na ako. The knot in my stomach tightened with each step, the elevator looming closer.I glanced at Hope, hoping to see even the slightest hint of softness in his expres

Chapter 20. Stain

CHAPTER TWENTY: STAIN★HOPE RYKER LEE★NAPAKISLOT ako sa kama at inabot ang side ni Elisse. Kumunot ang noo ko, at kahit gusto ko pang manatiling nakapikit, napilitang bumukas ang mga mata ko. Doon ko lalong nakumpirma na wala na siya sa tabi ko.'Where is she?'Slowly, I sat up, my body aching from last night. But that didn’t matter right now. I glanced around the room para hanapin siya. Wala. Ang bakas lang na naiwan niya ay ‘yong wedding gown niya, veil, and her heels.Inalis ko ang pagkakatakip ng duvet sa katawan ko at bumaba sa kama para tunguhin ang banyo. Pagbukas ko sa pinto, bakante rin.‘Saan ba siya nagpunta?’Muli akong humakbang papunta sa kama para lumapit sa nightstand dahil doon ko natanaw ang cell phone ko. I was reaching for my phone, but before I could even grab it, something in the middle of the bed made my heart drop. Blood. A small stain against the white sheets, but it felt like the whole world had stopped spinning.Para ‘kong nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa k
