Synopsis
Who knew that bumping on to a stranger's car would give someone a one way ticket to a world they so despise and desperately avoid? Sienna Melendez doesn't want to be married, nor fall in love. She had that tattooed across her brain. She doesn't need these things, she can live and be happy just by herself. Plus, she doesn't want the pain that comes with love. It hurts, anesthetics could never help, and time doesn't seem to heal it at all. But when she bumped into a guy's car, she thought that after a few negotiations and her paying for the damages, they would just forget and move on. No, her parents thought she was being too friendly with him and thought it was best for the both of their companies if they were married. Things did not end well, and now, she's facing a life being trapped in a marriage with the heir of the Valencia empire, the "demon" as she had nicknamed him, Neo Valencia. ** "Damn it!" marahas niyang itinapon ang tuwalyang hawak sa sofa. "You know what? I hate you! I hate your dumb voice, your stupid muscles and your annoyingly attractive face!" "And you know what they say," his lips twitched into a smirk. "- that love and hate are two sides of a very... very thin line," tinalikuran siya nito at pumasok na sa banyo. And she just stood there, trying to process what he just said when she realized something. "Hoy! Ako na dapat 'yong mauuna sa banyo eh!"

Prologue
Marriage is sacred, making a vow in front of God, in front of law, and in front of people, a vow that should be upheld and must be kept sanctified.
As a child, Sienna Melendez had always dreamed of a perfect wedding for herself, being one of the most sought-after flower girls for her parents' friends' and relatives' weddings. She had seen so many people say their vows to each other, and her young mind thought it was so magical, something off of a fantasy film even.
But as she grew up, she had seen those couples break up, she had seen how the vows that they had made in front of God were broken, she saw how the sanctity of their marriages were broken beyond repair, and she can only think that maybe...love isn't real after all. Or maybe, promises are really only meant to be broken.
And so she made a mental note to never love, to never get married, to only focus on herself, because at the end of the day, the only person who will always be there to love her is herself.
She focused on doing what she does best, carrying the pride and glory of her parents as she did so, and though she felt like she was controlled, she didn't say a thing. But when they told her that she had to marry someone for the betterment of the company, she felt something inside her snap. Her childhood fears resurfaced, but what can she do when she can't ever say "no"?
She just have to endure a life of being married to the cold bachelor and the heir of the Valencias, the "demon" as she had nicknamed him, Neo Valencia.

"You look good," matamis ang ngiting nakapaskil sa mga labi ni Neo nang sabihin niya iyon. I fought the urge to roll my eyes at how fake he was, and instead, just returned his fake smile to further amuse our parents. "I know," I said and looked at him from head to toe, "you look good too, by the way." Inilahad niya ang kamay niya sa akin, tumaas ang kilay ko roon ngunit tinanggap ko rin naman, pagkatapos no'n ay nagpaalam ito sa mga magulang namin at iginiya ako papalayo sa table na iyon. "So, where's the sudden kindness coming from?" sarkastikong tanong ko habang naglalakad kami palabas. "They changed their mind," sagot niya. "Ha?" tanong ko ulit. What did he mean? Hindi na ba kami ikakasal? Eh para saan 'tong party? "They changed their minds, there's no engagement tonight, just the announcement I guess," he shrugged. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag, I didn't even notice that I had been holding my breath since the party started. Delaying t

Muntik na akong mapamura nang paglabas ko ay napagtanto kong wala nga pala akong sasakyang dala.Umuwi rin naman ang driver na naghatid sa amin dito kanina at tatawagan lang siya ni dad kapag magpapasundo na kami.Napalingon ako sa mansion, it would be embarrassing to go back in now that I have walked out, kaya naman ininda ko na lamang ang pananakit ng paa ko dahil sa heels na suot ko at naglakad papunta sa labasan ng subdivision kung nasaan ang mansion ng mga Valencia.Dahil nga gabi na ay wala na ring nagbi-biyaheng taxi. I had no choice so I chose to call Zach, alam ko kasi na wala na siyang trabaho during this time dahil Sunday naman, at hindi rin siya maagang natutulog dahil naglalaro pa siya ng kung anong online game.[Yow

My head hurts.That's the first thought that went in my head the moment I felt my consciousness coming back.It felt like it was being hacked open with a mallet, subukan ko mang diinan ang pagkakahiga ko sa unan na nasa ilalim ng ulo ko ay hindi man lang nito nababawasan ang sakit. These are the moments that just makes me say that I won't ever drink again.When I woke up the day after and my head just hurts so much, when my face is still caked with make up from the night before, and when I can't endure staying in bed longer in hopes of soothing the pain I feel kasi may balak akong patayin ng sarili kong hininga.Pero kapag may nag-aya na ay hindi rin naman makatanggi.&

Inilapag ni Sage ang bote ng vodka sa mesa, pang pregame lang naman iyon habang nag-aayos kami, we're going bar-hopping tonight. Something like a tradition that we developed after we graduated from college, once a week, it could be friday nights or saturday nights, we get wasted. Iyon lang naman kasi ang mga araw na makakatakas kami mula sa respinsibilidad na dala ng pagiging adult.Goodness, I freaking hate adulting."O ba't isa lang 'yan?" napatingin kaming dalawa kay Zach na kakarating lamang, kasunod nitong pumasok si Hya na agad tumakbo papunta sa amin ni Sage at yumakap."Ah damn it, I had such a long week," she groaned amd laid down on the couch, getting her head comfortable on Sage's lap. Nakaupo si Sage sa isang gilid ng couch, nakaupo naman ako sa harap niya dahil nagpapatali ako ng buhok."Pregame lang 'yan tangek," wika ni Sage at tinaniman ng halik ang noo ni Hya, ngumiti naman ito sa gi

"Sienna Melendez, where the hell are you? It's almost nine," napapikit ako nang mariin nang marinig ang kalmado ngunit mahihimigan ang pagkagalit na tinig ng aking ina."I'm sorry mom, there was an accident near my condo so they had to close a part of the road, and I'm caught in traffic," agad na pagrarason ko, even though I know na wala rin namang magagawa iyon dahil panigurado ay galit na sila. "Don't worry, I'll try my best to be there on time," dagdag ko na lamang at paulit-ulit na bumusina, pretending that it would make the traffic move forward faster."That's why I kept on telling you to just live at the mansion, malapit sa kompanya, you don't even have to drive!" mababakas ang inis sa boses niya."And I told you mom, I just want to be independent," sagot ko, iyon naman ang lagi kong sagot sa kaniya. As if I would go back to that house, nakaalis na nga ako eh, babalik pa ba ako sa kulungang iyon?&
