Hindi na nakauwi si Naya nang gabing iyon.

Sa halip, nanatili siya sa mansion ni Xerxes dahil mariin itong tumangging pauwiin siya. Kahit ilang beses niyang sabihin na kaya niyang umuwi kasama ang kaniyang mga magulang, hindi man lamang natinag ang lalaki.

According to him, she was safer inside his mansion.

And apparently, that was the only explanation he was willing to give.

Nasa malawak na living room silang apat ngayon. Nakaupo si Naya sa tabi ng kaniyang mommy habang ang kaniyang ama ay nas

    Kahit ang ilang bisitang pinayagang pumasok ay maingat munang tinitingnan bago papasukin. Walang makakapasok nang hindi nabe-verify ang pangalan.Walang mga random visitors, walang unnecessary photographers, at walang-wala talagang media coverage. Everything was discreet. Exactly how Xerxes wanted it.“Your husband-to-be is waiting,” anunsyo ng daddy niya. Naya looked at him.“Where?”“At the altar, of course.”Huminga siya nang malalim.“Okay.”Her mother stood and kissed her forehead.“You look beautiful, anak.”“Thank you, Mom.”“Don’t be nervous,” bilin nito. “Too late,” sagot niya at napailing.Natawa ang mommy niya bago hinawakan ang kamay niya.“Come on.”Sa may entrance ng simbahan, napahinto si Naya.Nakatabi ang malalaking pintong kahoy, na nagpapakita ng napakagandang interior ng simbahan.White flowers adorned the altar, habang ang malambot na ilaw ng mga kandila ay nagbibigay-liwanag sa aisle. Konti lang ang bisitang nakaupo sa loob, karamihan ay immediate family members

    “Xerxes!” singhal niya rito.“What?”“You can’t just kiss me whenever you want!” rekalamo niya habang nakabusangot.“Why not?”“Because…because you have to ask!”He gave her an amused look.“Do I?” tanong nito na tila amused pa sa narinig mula sa kaniya. This is not the first time too.“Yes!”“All right. May I kiss you?”Napakurap siya.Hindi niya inasahang susunod ito.But before she could even formulate an answer, muling lumapit ang lalaki at ninakaw ang isa pang halik.“Xerxes Nero Mackenzie!”He chuckled.“You’re adorable when you’re angry.”“You’re infuriating!”“I’ve noticed.”Mabilis siyang umatras at inayos ang buhok niya.Hindi niya alam kung paano nito nagagawang maging sobrang chill at kalmado habang siya naman ay halos mawalan na ng bait.“One more thing,” sabi nito.Napatingin siya.“What now?”“Don’t ever disappear on me.”Nawala ang bahagyang ngiti sa mga labi niya.“What? Anong klaseng tanong naman ‘yan?”“I don’t care if we’re arguing. I don’t care if you’re angry wit

    Nang makaalis ang mga magulang ni Naya upang magpahinga sa guest wing ng mansyon, saka lamang niya naramdaman ang tunay na bigat ng nangyari. Ikakasal na siya.Sa loob ng ilang araw, opisyal na siyang magiging Mrs. Xerxes Nero Mackenzie.Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala.“Come here,” tawag ng isang boses.Napalingon siya nang marinig ang malalim na tinig ng lalaki.Nasa kabilang bahagi ng living room si Xerxes, nakatayo malapit sa bar counter habang may kausap sa telepono. Naka-unbutton ang dalawang butones ng kaniyang itim na polo, nakatiklop ang manggas hanggang siko, at nakapatong ang isang kamay sa bulsa ng pantalon.Mukha itong nakakatakot dahil sa awra nitong hindi niya kayang tagalan. “Ako ba ang kinakausap mo?” tanong niya sabay turo sa sarili.Iniwan ni Xerxes ang linya, pinatay ang tawag, at isinuksok ang selpon sa bulsa.“May nakikita ka pa bang ibang tao rito?” balik-tanong nito.Napairap siya bago dahan-dahang lumapit.“Ano ba iyon?”“Sit.”Tumingin siya sa sofa at napaang

    Saglit na natahimik ang lahat.Bahagyang sumandal si Xerxes at mahinahong nagsalita.“But I suggest you don’t mistake my willingness to discuss this with you for an inability to make decisions on my own.”Tuluyang natahimik ang Governor. Napansin ni Naya kung paano humigpit ang panga ng kaniyang ama.May gusto itong sabihin. Nakikita niya iyon sa ekspresyon nito. Ngunit hindi lumabas ang mga salita.At alam niya kung bakit. Xerxes wasn’t just another wealthy businessman.The Mackenzie name carried influence that extended far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. His connections, resources, and the men who answered to him were enough to make even powerful individuals think twice before crossing him.Her father might be a governor, but Xerxes operated in a different world.A world where political titles meant very little.“Let’s not make this more difficult than it already is,” pagpapatuloy ni Xerxes, habang unti-unting bumabalik sa dati niyang kalmadong tono. “I’ll arrange everyt

    “There’s something else we need to discuss.”Napatingin si Xerxes sa mga magulang ni Naya nang muling maupo ang mga ito sa living room. Si Naya naman ay nasa tabi ng kaniyang mommy, tahimik na nakikinig habang hinihintay kung ano na naman ang sasabihin ng binata.Xerxes crossed one leg over the other.“The wedding.”Napatingin sa kaniya ang ama ni Naya.“What about it?”“I want it done as soon as possible.”“How soon?”“Within the next few days.”Halos mapasandal si Naya sa sofa.“Next few days?”Xerxes glanced at her.“Do you have a problem with that?”“Of course, I do! You can’t just decide that we’re getting married next week!”“Why not?”“Because weddings require preparation!”“Then we’ll prepare.”“That’s not what I mean!”He raised an eyebrow. Naya was frustrated. Ano ba ‘tong pinasok niya? “Then explain what you mean.”Napailing si Naya. Good Lord. How was she supposed to have a normal conversation with this man?Her father cleared his throat.“I agree that we need to settle t

    For a moment, nobody spoke.Then her father leaned back and rubbed his forehead.“God, I never imagined I’d be discussing my daughter’s marriage under these circumstances.”Naramdaman ni Naya ang paninikip ng dibdib.Neither did she.She had imagined getting married someday. Perhaps in a beautiful garden, with her family surrounding her, wearing a gorgeous wedding gown and walking down the aisle without a single worry in the world.But this? This was far from what she had imagined.“Anak,” tawag ng kaniyang ama.Napatingin siya rito.“I don’t want you to think we’re giving you away just because we’re afraid. You’re our daughter. If I could take all this trouble away from you, I would.”“Dad…”“But I also have to be realistic. Vistani isn’t someone we can simply ignore. If he decides to hunt us down, our lives will never be peaceful again. Hindi g-hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko kung sakaling may mangyari sa inyo ng mommy mo,” malungkot nitong wika.Her mother nodded.“Your father i
