"I can't wait. Naiinip na ako." Bulong sa'kin ni Ericjan habang pareho na kaming nakatayo sa harap ng altar. Napabungisngis na lamang ako dahil sa itinuran nito sa'kin. "Hindi pa nga nag sisimula si Father, pero naiinip ka na dyan." Sagot ko dito. "Of course.." Aniya at kumindat pa ito sa'kin, pag kuwa'y ginagap ng marahan ang palad ko na hawak hawak nito kanina pa. Pakiramdam ko nga din ay tumatagaktak na ang pawis ko roon dahil sa tensyong nararamdaman ko mula pa kanina. Agad naman kaming umayos sa pag kakatayo ng tumayo na si Father sa harapan namin upang simulan na ang kasal. Kagaya kanina, ganon parin ang bilis at pag tibok ng puso ko. Pakiwari ko nga'y unti na lang ay lalabas na sa dibdib ko ang puso ko. Mayamaya ay muli kong naramdaman ang masuyong pag pisil nito sa palad ko. Naramdaman nya siguro ang sunod sunod na pag papakawala ko ng malalim na buntong hininga. "Bago ko simulan ang seremonyas na ito.. Nais ko lang malaman kung may tumututol ba sa pag mamahalan at pag iisang dibdib nina Devee Oliveros at Ericjan Esparagoza? Kung meron man, mag salita na." Anang Father. Awtamatikong mas bumilis ang pag tibok ng puso ko dahil sa naging tanong ni Father.. Meron pa palang ganito pag ikinakasal? Katahimikan naman ang bumalot sa loob ng malaking simbahan kung saan dinadaos ang kasal namin. Mayamaya lamang ay biglang nag tayuan ang mga balahibo ko sa katawan, pakiramdam ko ay bigla akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig at biglang nagising sa katotohanan, ng may biglang sumigaw. "Itigil ang kasal..." Tinig ng babae.

Before anything else could happen, I stood up from squatting in front of him and walked toward my work table. My hands were shaking, but I tried not to show it. "Now you have time to listen to my proposal," I said firmly, trying to sound confident even though my heart was racing. I picked up the document I had placed there earlier—a simple sheet of paper, but one that could change everything. I held it up for him to see. Yes, kidnapping him had been desperate. But what I was about to offer? Even more so. "You just have to sign this marriage contract," I told him. "If we get married, I can claim my inheritance, solve my problem, and then we’ll let you go." He raised an eyebrow, amused. “And what’s in it for me? I don’t gain anything here. Why should I let you manipulate my life like that?” I clenched my fists. "You’re my hostage! Your freedom depends on me. You have no choice but to do what I say!" I snapped, voice rising with frustration. As soon as I said it, regret washed over me. I sounded like a child throwing a tantrum, and I saw it in his eyes—disappointment. Disgust. “I already have a fiancée, Kourtney. We’re getting married soon. I can’t marry you,” he said with finality. Of course I knew. I knew everything about him. I kept tabs on his life not because I wanted to, but because I had to. “I love her,” he continued. “And if I ever get married, it’s going to be with the woman I love. That’s Kim.” I bit my lower lip to stop the trembling. I was humiliated… but worse, I was heartbroken.
