“Why are you doing this to me, Dad?” puno ng hinanakit na tanong ni Tala sa kanyang ama na noon ay kausap niya sa kanyang cellphone.

Kasasabi lang nito sa kanya na kailangan niyang maghanda para sa meeting niya with her potential husband next week.

Nasabihan na siya nito noon pang isang linggo tungkol sa plano nitong ipakasal siya sa anak ng mga kakilala nito. But still, hearing her father tell that to her again was only fueling the anger she had been trying to unfeel for the past days.

“And why do you keep doing what you are doing, Tala? ‘Di ba nag-usap na tayo bago kita iniwan d’yan sa Paris? You promised that I will never hear another news of you going way overboard again. But here we are all over again, after you got drunk, you almost got arrested for DUI.” His father scoffed. “Not only that, you assaulted a police officer and called him fckin names! What were you thinking? Are you even thinking or have tried thinking straight?”

Hindi siya umimik kahit na gusto niya sanang ipagtanggol ang sarili. Wala rin naman kasing silbi na sabihin niyang she accidentally cut her hand while she’s at home in her apartment and drinking that’s why she wanted to rush herself to the hospital. And sadly, she was arrested by a perverted police officer who groped her behind several times!

Her mother raised her to be combative should the need to protect herself arises. And so, she punched and kicked the bastard and called him all the dirty names one could think of. Luckily, she didn’t get arrested when she called Gabrielle Dubois or Elle, her friend and the favorite niece of the city's mayor. She filed a counter-charge against the police officer who harassed her and she’s more than ready to face the bastard in wherever court he can damn chooses.

Tapos ngayon, siya pa rin ang iipitin ng Daddy niya gayong agrabiyado rin siya? Well, what does she expect? In the eyes of Joshua Sandejas, her father and the CEO of Star Airlines, ang lahat ng bagay, kahit hindi niiya kasalanan, kasalanan pa rin niya. Ever since she turned 15, ganoon na ang buhay niya—laging sinisita at pinapagalitan for being ‘different’. Hindi naman na siya dapat magtaka. Alam na alam niya ang dahilan kung bakit siya lang sa mga kapatid niya iba ang pakikitungo ng Daddy niya. And though she had long accepted the truth about herself, masakit pa rin na parang sa mga magulang niya, lalo na sa Daddy niya, wala na siyang ginawang tama. Na kapag napapasubo siya sa mga hindi sinasadyang eskandalo, siya palagi ang mga kasalanan.

Well what do you expect, you’re just…

“Tala, are you still listening, young lady?” pukaw ng Daddy niya sa kanya, iritable pa rin ang tinig.

She huffed and rolled her eyes. Her inner bitch, starting to kick in. “I am, Dad,” mapakla niyang sagot.

“Then what did I just tell you?”

She cursed herself silently. How could she know what her father just told her when her mind was wandering someplace else!

Her father huffed. “You will meet Quinton Reyes next week. Me and your mom have already arranged everything. You will have a formal dinner at—“

“What?!” mabilis niyang putol sa Daddy niya. “Why him?!” she yelled in frustration.

“Why not him? Nasa Italy lang siya managing Diamant Empire. He can fly to you even now should he likes.”

She scoffed, her chest was pounding erratically from too much pent-up anger. “That guy is two years younger than I am, Dad. Do you want me to babysit that snobbish prick all my life?” gigil niyang sabi.

She knew Quinton Ryker Reyes all her life. His father was a former colleague of her mom at Samaniego Security Agency, a company which provides elite bodyguards all over the world. Not only that, her Grandma Liza would always bring her and her cousins Charlie and Amara at Treasures, a high-end jewelry shop owned by Quentin’s family. Her Grandma would let them select pieces of jewelry every year as their gifts for Christmas. And every time they’d go there, Quint, as people calls him, would never fail to show his air of arrogance towards his employees. God! The man even has an employee who shines his shoes every now and then! Who does that? Only a freak! And now her father would want him to marry a goddamn freak!

Hell no!

“Why do think so highly of yourself, Tala? With the endless mistakes and scandals you have practically put yourself into since your’re in senior high up to now, do you think you still have the right to choose a man who will marry you?”

She bit her lower lip, the insult squeezing her chest once more. Bigla siyang nanliit sa sarili niya sa sinabi ng ama. Her father really loves to humiliate and demean her with every opportunity he gets.

Again, wala nang bago roon. She’s the lamest child among the bunch of his overachiever kids. She’s the wrong in everything he does right. The mistake he must get rid of. Now she understands why he’s doing that to her. He was done. Her family was done with her.

Her lower lips quivered and her eyes stung as the familiar pain rose again from her chest.

“Tala, are you still there?”

“Y-yes, D-Dad,” she answered in a shaky voice.

She heard her father took in a sharp breath. “Tala I…” He huffed. “Just be ready meeting Quiton next week. Trust me, this is for the best.”

Hindi na siya sumagot at tuluyan nang pinutol ang tawag. Marahas siyang nagpunas ng luha pagkatapos at gigil na isinuksok ang cellphone sa bag niya.

She looked at the club in front of her. Magkikita sila ni Elle ngayon doon upang i-celebrate ang pagkakapasok nilang dalawa bilang apprentice sa isang sikat na fashion brand. Today had been so great and then her father just had to rain on her parade with his plan of marrying her to some rich freak!

Muling bumangon ang inis sa dibdib niya. Kaya nga siya nag-solong manirahan sa Paris matapos niyang grumaduate sa fashion school sa Manila para hindi na siya nito mapagkikita at mapakialaman sa mga gusto niya sa buhay. But there seems no place on earth where the billions of Joshua Sandejas can’t reach. Her father is still making her life miserable even now that he’s thousands of miles away from her!

No. She will not let him dictate her life as he pleases. Nagawa niya na noong baliin ang gusto nito sa buhay niya matapos niyang mag-shift nang palihim sa fashion design program sa university na pinasukan niya after he insisted the first two business course she took and didn’t finish. Kung nagawa niya noon na magdesisyon para sa sarili niya, gagawin niya ulit ‘yon ngayon. Mas lalo na ngayon na kalayaan na niya ang nakataya.

She will show him how she runs her life in her own way. And no, she won’t have the friggin’ date with that freak Quinton!

  • A Husband For The Wild Heiress   Epilogue

    Tala slowly gave her reflection on the mirror a once over. On her was a black silk dress; an exquisite diamond necklace Knoxx had given her on their anniversary; and of course her favorite pumps produced by her very own brand, Stella. She tried, but she cannot help herself but smile. Why wouldn’t she, life has been so good to her for the past two years. After that heartfelt reunion she and Knoxx had at her parent’s house in Manila, she officially became Mrs. Stavropolous, again, that very same day. After her parents and the rest of her family came back from their quick tour at Asteri Island, that is. Hindi niya alam na sa buong panahon na asar na asar siya kay Knoxx dahil hindi ito nagpapakita sa kanya, pasimple na pala nitong hinahanda ang kasal nila with the help of her Auntie Sam and her parents. Yes, her parents did a great part on the display of ‘sea-of-roses’ inside their house. Her father proudly admitted that himself right after the wedding. Knoxx then had decided to move h

    Tala's heart instantly hitched, turning around as quick as she could. And there she saw him, under the bright morning sun, just a few steps away from her, the prince who’ve swept her off her feet since their crazy wedding night, Prince Knoxx Iossif Stefanos Stavropolous. She quickly gave him a once over and he never disappoints! Her prince is as handsome as ever. He grinned, making her eyes roll in fake annoyance. Agad siyang namaywang. “Why are you here? And where are the people of this house? What did you to my parents, Knoxx? And Atlas, where is my son?!” sunod-sunod niyang tanong sa mataas na tinig. Knoxx gave her a heart-stopping smile, making her want to rush to him for a hug. But she stilled herself. She must not let logic falter now. They must talk. They must. “You don’t have to worry, mi bella. Everyone’s safe. And regarding your question, I came here to explain—“ “I already know everything. Everything,” she said, cutting his words. He paused and stared at her for a whil

    “Arise, shine, Star Princess!” anang pamilyar na tinig ng Mommy ni Tala na siyang nagpagising sa kanya. She gently opened her eyes and the warmth of the morning sun coming through the big windows of her bedroom greeted her. Pasimple siyang nag-inat at umayos ng pagkakahiga sa kama. She saw her mother arranging another bouquet of pink Ecuadorian roses on the vase on top of the bureau inside her room. “Another one?” she asked, gently pushing herself to sit on her bed. Her mother smiled. “Yes, princess. Your husband doesn’t miss a day,” anang kanyang ina bago muling ipinagpatuloy ang pag-aayos sa mga bulaklak. Husband. She still can't believe that the arrogant prince made her go through all the tears and heartaches for nothing. Knoxx is still her husband or so her father had told her. These days, her parents are openly discussing about Knoxx, especially her Dad. And she is more than relieved to know that despite his absence, Knoxx is slowly making his way through her parents' hearts.

    Knoxx heaved a sigh as he stared at his phone, recalling the brief conversation he just had with Tala. Talagang ayaw pa rin talaga siya nitong kausapin. Well, with his wife’s temper he knew that the whole ‘getting-back-together’ plan he had in mind would surely be a feat. But that doesn’t mean he is giving up. He’s just… being considerate given Tala’s condition.Olivia had given her last night an earful of dos and don’t’s when it comes to dealing with pregnant women. At totoong nakinig siya. He clearly remembered how his bratty princess of a cousin reminded him over and over again that pregnant women must always have things their way. And that’s what he just did. Hopefully, that by giving in with Tala’s wishes for now, lumamig na rin ang ulo nito sa kanya at tuluyan na siyang kausapin pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas.Pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas.He sighed and put his phone back to his pocket. Pagkatapos niyon ay pinagmasdan niya ang royal ring sa kanyang palasingsingan. His Majesty gave it

    “Yes, Genevieve seduced me and I gave in. I allowed her to fool me and get the better of me. I-I’m sorry,” said King George, still lying down on his hospital bed. Makahulugang nagkatinginan sina Ares at Knoxx, sharing the same gleam of anger in their eyes towards their enemies who had made them suffer for years. Kararating lang nila mula sa Pilipinas at doon sila sa ospital dumiretsong magkapatid. At first Knoxx was conflicted to leave Manila. Bakit hindi, inaayos pa niya ang gusot sa kanila ni Tala tapos aalis siya? If it wasn’t for his mother’s persuasion to go home, baka nagpa-iwan na siya. But he’s glad he did go home. Because if he didn’t, he would’ve missed the clan’s meeting and his Uncle George’s confession. Yesterday, they were informed that his Uncle George had already opened his eyes. But the doctors didn’t allow any member of their family to talk to him just yet. They had to make sure that the King’s condition is stable and that he is ready to receive visitors. It took a

    “Ano pang tinatanga mo d’yan? I told you to leave, haven’t I?” gigil na singhal ni Tala kay Knoxx. She really cannot believe he’s inside her room right now, and lying on the bed with her, her very own bed! Nasa baba lang ito kanina a, kasama sina President Tuazon at Ares. Paanong naroon na ito agad sa kwarto niya? Pinaakyat na lang ba ito ng mga kaanak niya nang gano’n-gano’n lang? Imposible. Her Dad hated Knoxx’s guts noon pa. And she’s sure her father, hated Knoxx all the more after everything that has happened between her and her ex-husband. So how in the world was he there inside her room—comfortably sitting on her bed looking more handsome than she remembered? She tried to get her wits straight as she questioned herself. But all she could ever think were all the awful—morbid even- thoughts on how Knoxx ended up inside her room. She groaned inwardly as panic and anger instantly rose in her chest.Pagdating talaga kay Knoxx, ni minsan, hindi umayos ang huwisyo niya. Tumikhim si
