Chapter: 5: UNEXPECTED SAVIOUR
SIERRA'S POV!I didn’t want to marry him. That thought refused to leave my mind as I crept toward my uncle’s study, hands trembling, stomach twisting, heart hammering so fast I thought it might burst. I had to try. I had to speak. I couldn’t just accept this.“Uncle…” I whispered, barely able to get the words out. “Hindi ko po gusto....Ayaw ko po siyang pakasalan.”Pero tila hangin lamang ako sa kanyang harapan at he didn't even bother to look up. patuloy lamang siya sa pag shuffle at pag pirma sa mga dokumentong nasa kanyang mesa....Halos ilang minuto na katamikan lamang at tanging tunog lang ng ballpen at papel sa loob ng opisina niya... Then he finally glanced at me, eyes sharp, cold, unyielding.“Too late,” he said flatly. “Ginastos na namin ang pera....At nakapirma na ako tapos na ang usapan namin.”I felt my chest tighten. “Please, uncle…” I tried to force the words out, voice cracking. “Hindi ko po kilala siya! Natatakot po ako! I… I can’t!”His eyes narrowed. “ SIERRA! TUMAHIM

Chapter: 4: LOCKED BRIDE
SIERRA'S POV!Ito ang pinakaunang beses na naramdaman ng balat ko ang ganitong klaseng lambot. Cotton. Branded. Magara. The kind of fabric Claire would have worn effortlessly, the kind no one had ever imagined me wearing. And yet, today, it clung to my skin, smooth and soft, and made my stomach twist.Parang mali.Tila hihiram ko ang buhay na kinagisnan ng ubang tao... knowing it would be taken back violently once the show was over.Ngayong araw, dadating si Alessandro. Ipapakilala nila ako. Hindi bilang pamangkin. Hindi bilang tao. Kundi bilang kapalit. The unlucky niece. The one who would carry the weight of someone else’s power and wealth.My chest tightened. I wanted to cry. I wanted to curl into myself and disappear. But earlier, my aunt had leaned close, her voice low and threatening.“Umayos ka,” she had warned. “Huwag kang mag-eskandalo. Kung hindi, ibebenta kita sa bahay aliwan "Napalunok ako habang nakatitig sa kisame hanggang ngayon nasanisip ko pa din ang sinabi ni Auntie

Chapter: 3: UNWILLING SACRIFICE
SIERRA'S POV!Napabalikwas ako ng bangon ng marinig ko ang malakas na pagbagsak ng kung anong bote mula sa sala ng bahay. That sound made my chest tighten instantly. It wasn't just the clatter—it was a warning.At alam na alam ng katawan ko ang tunog na iyon. Mukhang umuwi na namang lasing si uncle.He stumbled into the sala, jacket slipping from his shoulders, the sharp tang of alcohol filling the air. My aunt followed, arms crossed, jaw tight with anger."Nangako ka na aayusin mo ito!" she snapped. "You said today you'd fix it.""Fix what?" he laughed, a low, ugly sound that made my stomach churn. "Money doesn't grow dahil lang binubunga ngaan mo ako.""Bwesit naman! alam mong tumatawag na naman ang supplier!" my aunt said, voice sharp. "They're pulling out. If that happens, the business is done."He poured himself another drink. "Let them.""Naririnig mo ba ang sinasabi mo?!" she said, voice rising. "They'll take everything!"Nanatili akong nakadikit sa pader halos ibaon ko na ang s
