Prologue

'When life is getting harder, lahat nalang ay gagawin magka pera lang. Lorelay Sugala married to Oliver Shein na hindi pa niya nakikita kahit kailan. Marriage for convinience may say but her journey is not what she thinks it is.

Marrying to unknown is the hardest thing to do. Living with the unknown is the craziest thing she can do, but falling for someone she didn’t see, drives her to find her lost sanity.

She felt desire, pleasure, and love in the midst of darkness. She lives with the man who can’t bring himself to her front. Mr. Shein is a man who can make a life hell easily, and his wife is not an exception to what he has done in the past.

The curse has been lifted, and it is up to them to break it.

Tying in bed and moaning in your name won’t guarantee happiness.

Loving endlessly won’t guarantee infinity.

Acceptance will end the misery.

Forgiveness is the key to a life of prosperity.

“Run Oliver, run!” Agad akong nagmulat ng mata nang mapagtantong panaginip lang lahat. I’ve been haunting with this guilt. Kahit anong gagawin ko ay hindi ko na yata matatakasan.

Puno ng pawis ang buong mukha ko. Binuksan ko ang bintana ng kwarto habang sinisindihan ang sigarilyo sa bibig. Hapon na kaya alam kong dadaan siya dito mamaya.

I saw her. She’s smiling talking with her friend. I can’t wait to be with her in any time I want. Masaya siyang nakikipag-usap sa kaibigan niya. Kahit iyong mga mata niya ay nakangiti. Ang ganda.

I saw the gals in their back, following them. Nagdilim ang paningin ko. Agad kong tinawagan ang mga tauhan ko. I won’t allow any of them touch my girl.

“boss,”

“I want you to teach them a lesson.”

“Alright,” ibinaba ko na ang tawag. Bago siya mawala sa paningin ko, sinulyapan ko muna siya saka bumaba para puntahan ang mga lalaking nakasunod sa kaniya.

Lorelay is mine. Touch her and you’ll face death.
