LOGINShe used to be nothing but a bar girl. At a time where anyone could boss her around and take advantage of her, Bennett Spencer spent a fortune to make her his kept woman. Now, however, she's become the Jensen family's heiress and is engaged to the scion of the Gibson family. She's one step away from becoming the lady of an affluent family. The night before her wedding, Bennett shows up and has his way with her in every corner of her home, forcing her to remember the passion and lust they shared in the past.

Sunod-sunod na kulay itim ng sasakyan ang pumarada di kalayuan sa napaka-abalang simbahan sa araw na yun.
Sa unahang sasakyan. Abalang tinatawagan ng isang nakangising lalaki ang numerong alam niya na makakausap ng sasagot nito ang sasalubong na kamatayan mamaya lang.
Lalo siyang natawa dahil ano man ang siyang ginawa niyang pagbabanta dito. Hindi siya sineseryoso. Napasenyas sa leader ng tauhan niya.
“The hero needs a lot of villains. Di lang nagtatapos sa isang kalaban ang challenge na kailangan niyang kaharapin.” Saka mala-demonyong tumawa.
Nagsilabasan ang mga lalaking may kanya-kanyang dala na mga baril. Pumwesto na di namamalayan ng mga tao.
“Well, I am needing a lot of blood.”
Sinundan nito ang kilos nang isang photographer na siyang puntirya nga nilang lahat.
“How pity you are filthy rat.”
***
Napangiti ang isang photographer dahil sa nakuha niyang larawan. Di man siya kabilang sa official na kinuhang photographer, di parin ito napigilan na pumunta at kumuha ng mga larawan para sa pang sariling interest. Sa lahat na na-cover niya, ang paboritong pagdiriwang ay kagaya ng magarbong kasalan.
Kilala sa boung bansa kung sino nga ba ang ikakasal sa araw na ito.
Masaya niyang kinukunan ng palihim kahit sa labas nang bakod ang nagsisidatingang tao.
Hangang dumating ang sasakyan ng ikakasal na babae. Kumuha nang tamang pwesto ang photographer na siyang handang kunan nang maayos na angulo ang paglabas ng babaeng ikakasal. Tuluyan siyang napangiti, at alam niya balang araw darating din sa punto na ikakasal din ang panganay niyang anak na babae.
Naalala niya kung paano noon abala siyang kumuha ng larawan sa asawa nito noong ikakasal sila. Natawa nga sa kanya ang mga bisita nila noon. Di kinabahan, kundi taos pusong gustong kunan nang larawan ang pagdating ng asawa niya.
Namalayan na lamang nito umagos na ang kanyang luha. Naiiyak siya dahil naalala ang kahapon na buhay pa nga ang asawa niya. At mananatili ang masasayang alaala sa kanyang puso, simula ng dumating ito sa kanyang buhay.
“Ikakasal din ang panganay natin, balang araw.” Masaya niyang bulong sa sarili.
Nang makuntento sa nakuhang larawan, nagbabakasali siyang makapasok sa loob. Dumaan sa likuran kung saan kunti lamang ang naroroon. Nakunwaring kasama sa mga kumukuha nang larawan.
Huminga siya nang malalim na merong ngiti dahil pinagbibigyan talaga siya sa araw na ito. Ipinuwesto ang tripod. Kinunan ng larawan ang masasayang tao na nasa loob. Lalo na ang lalaking nakangiti at tuluyang napaluha sa harapan nang mga magulang nito dahil narinig na dumating na ang babaing para sa kanya. Simula ng araw bilang mag-asawa.
“Ganyan din ang nararamdaman ko noon. Masaya na nakakaiyak. Siguro sa ibang lalaki di ito big deal. Pero sa mga kagaya na mahal natin ang babaing hinihintay sa harapan ng altar. Talagang maiiyak ka.”
Nang tumunog ang di gaanong kamahalang cellphone ng photographer. Mabuti na nga lang walang masyadong nakarinig. Unregister number…
Sinagot niya.
“Sino ito.”
“Your grim reaper, dear photographer. Saan ka ngayon?” Di niya sinagot dahil maya-maya lang…
Lahat napatitig sa pintong bumukas. Umuulan ng bulaklak, at bawat isa napangiti. Sinalubong ang pagpasok nang napakagandang ikakasal na babae.
Sa kulay puti niyang damit na sumisilaw ng paningin. Di matinag ang titig ng isang lalaking naghihintay sa paanan ng altar.
Ngumiti ang babaeng ikakasal.
Musika na ihahatid nga siya sa lalaking kailan lang pinatunayan na aalagaan siya habang buhay.
Halos maluha at kinakabahan ang lalaking ikakasal dahil di niya akalain na ganito ang mararamdaman. Masaya. Masaya silang lahat.
Ngunit kinakabahan din kahit paano sa takot na baka magkaroon siya ng kontrobersyal kagaya ng runaway bride.
Napangiti siya sa ideyang yun. Hindi yun gagawin sa kanya ng taong mahal niya diba? Impossible. Mahal na mahal nila ang isat-isa.
This day is the biggest event to his life. No one will ruin this. No one.
Willingly nga na ibigay ang boung buhay niya sa pamilyang itatayo nila. They are both happy.
All people who surround them happily for them. They witness their wedding that cost a billion dollars. Known people in society are present on the extravagant wedding of the century. A wedding between famous physician and daughter of known family in ruling the economy of the country.
It was beautiful day. The sun is smiling at them. A gift of fine day. All people wishing for them a prosperous marriage life.
They take a vow. A vow that will be remember forever. Paninindigan ng bawat isa ang responsibilidad nila.
The priest pronounces them as husband and wife.
"Now you may kiss your bride." as the priest uttered the word with a sweet smile on his lips.
The groom lifts the veil of the bride. But the church bell... suddenly rang.
A wedding bell ring... Turn into a death bell toll.
Una ngang tinamaan nang bala ang camera na siyang handang kunan nang larawan ang sandaling yun. Basag nang salamin na parang ilang segundong di nakagalaw ang mga tao.
Nagsisigawan ang mga tao dahil pagkatapos umulan ng bulaklak…
Inulan sila ng mga bala.
The bell continuous it's sound of death.
Would not stop until the white dress of the bride turns into a red one.
The photographer, who having a bloody hand, take the moment to capture the grief of groom. Until his shoulder was shot, maririnig ang nahulog nitong kamera na ikinabasag ng salamin.
Bago pa man makuha nang photographer ang camera niya. Nandilim ang kanyang mga mata. Para bumagsak siya. Bago pa man mawalan ng pagkatao. Sa kanyang isipan… ang sigawan na naririnig ay sigaw na siya ang may kasalanan sa pangyayari.
Isang nakangising lalaki ang lumapit sa kanya. Sa ngisi nito, di nga siya nagkakamali.
Napabulong na lamang ito ng paghingi nang kapatawaran sa mga nadamay.
Duguan ang damit nang lalaking ikinasal. Ngunit ngayon nasa harapan siya nang mesa at kahit tuliro ang isipan. Sinasagawa ang operasyon para maisalba ang kanyang mag-ina. Kinakabahan ang mga tumutulong dito. Kahit pinagsisigawan na nilang... wala na ito.
Gumuhit sa harapan ng monitor na ibig sabihin tuluyan nang tumalikod ang babae dito. Walang sino man ang gustong magtangka sabihin sa kawawang lalaki na patay na ang patuloy niyang ini-operahan.
Hangang sa tumigil na ang kanyang kamay. Sapat na ang tunog nang makina para magising ang lalaking ikinasal na patay na ang kanyang asawa.
Sa mga oras na yun, parang namatay din ang kanyang pagkatao.

This was the first time Bennett had treated her with such tenderness. He had never been like this, even when she was by his side at around 18 or 19 years old. Perhaps this was how Bennett expressed his feelings for someone. Cecilia responded to him gently, her slender legs slipping between his. Their bodies gradually drew closer. Bennett's desire grew more intense as her response made him feel as though she had agreed to his proposal. His movements became especially cautious and careful, as if he were handling a precious jewel. His rough yet tender fingers explored every inch of her skin, sending shivers through her body. The heat from his body and breath enveloped her, the sounds he whispered in her ear were filled with desire. Since this was the last time, she would enjoy it while it lasted. Cecilia rolled over and took the initiative to remove her clothes. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall. The light from outside bathed her skin, making her body glow softly like
Cecilia felt intense pain everywhere, as if every bone in her body was broken. She was greeted with an all-white environment when she finally opened her eyes. The sharp smell of disinfectant told her that she was in a hospital. Cecilia forced herself to sit up. The pain that shot through her abdomen caused her to clutch her stomach instinctively as she surveyed her surroundings. She couldn't help but sigh with relief when Bennett was nowhere to be seen. Cecilia had already guessed what was going on from the moment Bennett appeared at Samuel's place. Just like Skylar had said, Bennett had used her as bait to find Samuel's hideout and take him down in one fell swoop. She stared blankly out the window. She didn't even react when the door behind her opened, Cecilia only returned to her senses when Bennett walked past her and shut the window. "Your body hasn't healed yet, so don't let the cold wind in." Bennett's tone was surprisingly gentle, unlike his usual rough demeanor. Thi
"I want the piece of land the Sullivan family owns in the Northern District," Samuel blurted out. Cecilia could clearly see Bennett's sharp features in the dimly lit room. There was a disdainful smile playing on his lips as he spoke, "Everyone's dabbling in advanced technology these days. Yet Mr. Lance, you're still dealing with real estate? "Besides, didn't you already take enough land when you took over my company three years ago?""Bennett, cut out the act! That land from three years ago never ended up in my hands!" Samuel became furious when he brought up the subject and kicked Cecilia hard in the stomach. "She sold the bidding price to foreign merchants. Are you telling me she didn't give you any of that money?"Bennett lowered his eyes and cast a glance at Cecilia, who was writhing with agony on the ground. His brows were tightly knitted together, and he clenched his fists. "Mr. Lance, I have already given the land to Henry. If you want it, you'd be better off dealing wit
"Move aside!" Samuel shoved Skylar away in anger. He crouched down to check on Cecilia's condition. "Get the sedative, quick!" Cecilia gradually calmed down as the liquid from the injection was injected into her arm. She opened her eyes and lay on the ground motionlessly. "Layla, I'll give you one more chance. It's not a big deal even if you've taken Jason away. All you need to do is agree to help me with one last job. Once I get that piece of land, I promise I won't trouble you anymore."Cecilia sighed and turned to look at Skylar. "Henry needs that piece of land to secure his position in the Gibson family. Ms. Ford, didn't you know that?""Hmph, that's none of your concern. Right now, I can't wait for his position to be shaken so that he'll come crawling back to me!" Skylar had a look of indifference on her face. "Henry really has fallen for the wrong person," Cecilia sneered internally and turned to Samuel. "Mr. Lance, Skylar must have given you the idea to snatch the land.
"Bring Cecilia back to me now!" Samuel's voice shouted through the phone. The bodyguards moved instantly and injected a sedative into the back of Cecilia's neck. Her body went limp as she collapsed to the ground. After the black MPV disappeared from sight, someone emerged from the elevator of the op
In the large room, Bennett sat half-reclined on the bed as he stared at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms. Her exposed arm was covered in blue and purple bruises. Cecilia was only 18 when she first came under his wing. She followed behind Avery, her bright eyes and flawless skin resembling a li
The hospital room returned to silence.Bennett stared, frustrated, at Cecilia, who remained silent.No matter what, he'd gotten what he wanted. He'd gotten together with Skylar just to break up Henry and Layla, after all. Layla belonged to him and him alone.She had no escape."Will you come back to me
When Henry opened the door and walked in, Cecilia was already sitting up.Her face was pale. She looked fragile."You're awake!" Henry grabbed her hand joyfully. Cecilia looked down at their joined hands. "Did I do well?"Henry hadn't expected those to be her first words. He was stunned.The Sullivans h
