Danley would never have agreed to marry Isidore Leventis if it hadn't been for the threat of Señor Irnes Leventis. Who would want to marry a half-demon, half-human? Certainly not her. But she didn't have a choice. Either she will marry the brute, Isidore Leventis, and tame him, or she will allow the old Señor Irnes Leventis to murder her family. Of course, she went with the first option. She chose to marry the young Leventis. She chose to marry the brute.

I open my eyes to my dimly lit room, it was already 6 am in the morning. A smile crept on my face knowing what the day was. It was my Wedding Day, it was my day. I was finally getting married to the man I love, to the man that makes my heart thump. I have had thought about this for so long and how perfect my Wedding day would be. For months I have been making arrangements to have the best wedding in Town, my parents had invited all the elites in the town and my wedding was already the talk of the town. Pulling the curtains and opening the windows, the morning air hit me like a wave, I took a full breath in to energize myself for the day I was going to have then began to admire the scenery in front of me. The trees, the beautiful garden, the sound of the birds chirping, everything looked so beautiful that I couldn’t hold it in. I wanted to scream, I had held it in for a while, the excitement was choking me know it was my wedding and I really wanted to tell everyone, to brag about. Okay I may be coming off a little too excited. “It’s my Wedding day” I screamed so loud I could feel my lungs collapsing. “Shut up” a neighbor yelled from the next house across the street but I didn’t mind. I had said what I wanted to say and I was not going to let anyone bring me down. The first rays of the sun reminded me of the gorgeous wedding dress right beside me, I wanted to touch it but I felt my hands were to filthy to touch such a magical dress Then I heard a knock on the door which woke me from my thoughts. “My dear, you haven't taken a shower yet” My mother said to me with a strict look on her face. Her hair was neatly done matching with her beautiful milky skin, she had a frown on her face but that did not dim her beauty. “I will get ready now” I replied with a smile. I had gotten so carried away by the feeling of getting married that I had actually forgotten to wash up. She grabbed my face in a rush and squeezed my plump cheeks, I can’t believe my daughter is getting married, you are so grown up now” tears streamed down her eyes. “Mom, are you crying? Don't cry please, if you cry then I will cry” I pleaded with her. I didn't want a drop of tears to be shed on my wedding day, not even tears of joy. I believed crying was only meant for bad things and I was supposed to be happy most especially today which was my day. “Oh okay, I won't cry. Just have a shower and I will tell Monica to come over” she said slowing retracting from me, the door closed and I dashed towards the bathroom in no time. Minutes later I was already out, I could feel the cold going up my spine, “Damn, I need some heat” I cursed to myself. Glancing once more at the dress I was about to wear, I felt proud. I was going to walk down the aisle in this beautiful dress to the man I loved. A knock came on the door and Monica walked in. “Do you need help in putting on your dress?” she politely asked. Monica had always been kind and supportive and her sweet little voice made it easy for people to agree to whatever she said. I may have wanted to be the only one to touch my dress but I did need a little help. “Yes please” I replied,I didn't want to ruin my perfect dress. The dress fitted perfectly and I was thrilled about it, months ago it was a dress that was too thin for me but after losing 15 pounds from starving myself for six months, it finally paid off and I was proud of myself. It was a dress that John had picked out himself. “Its… I'm speechless” I raised my head to stop tears from streaming down my ears, I had promised myself that I would not cry and I was going to stick to it but the dress was so perfect on me that I got too happy leading to tears. Monica sat me down on the bed and began with my hair. “I can't believe you are getting married to John, you have had the biggest crush on him since high school” she said trying to avert me from crying. I suddenly thought about what she said and realized that I was living the fantasy of a twelve year old me, I have had a huge crush on John and chased after him, right now I am getting married to him. I couldn't be more happy about it. “I know, this is a dream come true” I added with a cute smile. Grinning too much would turn my smile into a vicious grin and I didn't want to look like the grinch on my wedding day. “Honey, I can't find Rachel anywhere, I have searched the whole house and she isn't picking up her calls either” I could hear my mother’s voice from the door. “Is she supposed to be the maid of honour?” Monica voiced out the obvious. “Yes dear but she is nowhere to be found”My mother grunted. ‘How could she be missing on my wedding day’ I thought to myself. She was just as excited about my wedding as I was and yet she wasn’t present to be a part of it. “Did she leave any note or message?” I asked in a slight panic realizing that I didn't have a maid of honor. “No” She shook her head. “Oh my God” I stood up now being consumed with fear. “I had no maid of honour” I freaked out openly, “Relax honey, I will do something about it” Mother tried to calm me down but my breathing was already uneven. “If you want, I can be your maid of honor” Monica spoke and I immediately felt this huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I took her hands in mine and gave her the cutest eyes I could bring forth. “Really, you would do that for me” I asked almost crying but held it back. “Yes” she nodded and I couldn't be more happier. “Thank you so much” I hugged her in happiness. “Okay, now that is solved. Let's get back to getting ready for the wedding. Thank you Monica for saving us” Mother said as left the room to take care of other things. Two hours later and I was ready for my wedding, I sat in the waiting room watching the video of all the guests swarming into my wedding Hall, old friends, teachers, family, business partners, the whole town was there for my wedding. They were all present to see me get married to the man of my dreams. To the one I would refer to as the perfect man. I could see my parents greeting every guest that walked in and I was filled with joy. My father may not have been fine with me marrying John but he would do anything to make me happy. An hour has passed and John had not arrived yet, I could feel tension in my body, my hands and feet were getting sweaty that I had to take of the shoes. “Where is he?” I asked myself. He was supposed to at the Hall thirty minutes ago but there was no sign of him. I carefully took off the veil on my head and moved closer to the screen hoping I would see him walk in and all my fear would disappear. “Where is HE?” I asked myself the second time. Thirty minutes had passed again and there was no sign of the groom, there was no sign of my Man. Where exactly could he be, How dare he be late to our wedding. “Late” I picked up the word from my thoughts, maybe he might be running a little late, it could be traffic or the car had a little accident. “Please” I didn't know when I began pleading but I knew I was so close to crashing on the floor, I was now facing one of my biggest fear. Anybody that walked into that Hall got my hopes high making me think it was my John. “What is going on?” I asked myself. My lungs was actually collapsing but not because of lack of air but began I was trying to breathe in as most air as possibly. My breathing was more than uneven, my face was dripping in sweat and the room was getting smaller. “Where is he” I yelled. “Where is he?” Pacing back and forth in my wedding dress wasn’t a bright idea but who cared anyways, it was my wedding day but my groom was nowhere to be found. I searched my purse for my phone and trying calling him but his phone was switched off. ‘How could his phone be switched off when I am here frantic” The door to the room opened and I rushed to whoever it was only to be met with my father’s gloomy face. “What is it?” I asked dreading for my life. “Honey, he uhmmm” “He what?” I yelled at my father for the first time in my life. “He is…”Sa isang pribadong restaurant ang pinagdalhan sa kanya ni Dianna Leventis. Sa pagkakaalam niya ay isa ito sa pinakamahal na restaurant sa buong bansa. Maliban kasi sa masasarap raw ang mga pagkain rito ay labis din na pinahahalagahan ng restaurant ang seguridad ng kanilang mga customers. And because it is incredibly private and secure, most celebrities and wealthy individuals choose to come to the restaurant to avoid being seen and followed by the media.“You can order anything you want, hija.” Ani Dianna Leventis nang hindi man lamang tumitingin sa kanya dahil abala ang mga ito sa pagtingin-tingin sa menu.“Busog pa po ako. Sabihin nyo nalang po kung ano ang kailangan ninyo sa akin. Pareho naman ho nating alam na hindi tungkol sa birthday party ninyo ang pag-uusapan natin.” Direktang sabi ni Danley without even batting an eye na siyang dahilan upang umangat ang tingin ni Dianna Leventis mula sa menu at tumungo sa kanya. Sandali muna itong tumahimik at tinitigan lamang siya bago nito
“You can go back to your work everyone.” Nakangiting sabi ni Dianna Leventis matapos ang halos isang minuto na pakikipagtitigan sa kanya. Mabilis naman na umayos ng tayo ang lahat ng empleyado ng Levenbank at isa-isa ng tumungo sa kanilang mga pwesto samantalang kanina lamang ay nag kumpul-kumpulan pa silang lahat. Maging ang mga kaibigan niya na sila Lesley, Mara, Brae, Angel, at Rhenz ay nginitian lamang siya saka ito pumunta na sa kanilang mga pwesto.Nang magsitungo na ang lahat ng empleyado sa kani-kanilang mga pwesto ay muling nagkatinginan si Danley at Dianna Leventis. Isang maliit na ngiti ang sumilay sa mga labi ni Dianna Leventis habang sinasambit ang kanyang pangalan, “Danley.”At sa pagsambit ni Dianna Leventis sa kanyang pangalan ay saka lamang napagtanto ni Danley ang dapat niyang gawin. Nasa harapan sila ng publiko at dapat ay maayos ang relasyon niya sa pamilya ni Isidore, and that includes Dianna Leventis, sa harap ng maraming tao. Kung kaya’t kahit naroroon pa rin
Hindi mapigilan ni Danley na magmura sa tuwing kumikirot ang ulo niya. Nakasakay na siya sa sasakyan ni Isidore at binabaybay na nila ang daan patungo sa Levenbank.“That’s what you get for getting yourself intoxicated again.” Komento ni Isidore nang hindi man lamang tumitingin sa kanya.Danley hissed. “If you’ve got nothing nice to say and alleviate my pain, then shut up. Mas pinasasakit mo lang ang ulo ko.” “Was the welcome party so much fun that you couldn’t stop yourself from overindulging? You were so wasted last night that you couldn’t even stand on your own.”It was. It was so fun. Iyon ang gustong isagot ni Danley ngunit hindi na niya isinatinig pa. Talaga namang labis siyang nag-enjoy sa welcome party na ginawa nila Lesley para sa kanya. Yes, she held back at first but as the time goes by ay nakalimutan na niya ang pagpipigil niya. She ate everything she wanted, drank every liquor that Lesley ordered, and sang her heart out. She went all out, forgetting that she still had t
Dahil malapit lamang ang direksyon ng KTV kung saan ginanap ang welcoming party ni Danley ay hindi na inabot ng trenta y minutos ang tagal ng byahe ni Isidore patungo sa lugar. Nang makarating ay kaagad niyang namataan si Lesley at ang mga kasamahan nito na nasa labas na ng building ng KTV. Lumabas siya sa kanyang sasakyan at nilapitan ang mga ito na hindi pa napapansin ang pagdating niya dahil abala ang mga ito sa pag-alalay kay Danley. At dahil malapit na siya sa mga ito ay naging malinaw na sa paningin niya si Danley na lasing na nga at inaalalayan na lamang ito ni Rhenz upang kahit papaano ay makatayo ito at hindi sumalampak sa sementadong daan. Ngunit ang mas nakakuha ng atensyon ni Isidore, higit pa sa kung gaano ka lasing si Danley, ay ang mga kamay ni Rhenz. Ang isang kamay ni Rhenz ay nakayakap sa bewang ni Danley habang ang isang kamay naman nito ay nakahawak sa isang kamay ni Danley na nasa balikat ni Rhenz. Magkadikit na rin ang katawan ng dalawa dahil halos hindi na nga
Sa isang KTV dinala ni Lesley, Mara, Brae, Ange, and Rhenz si Danley upang doon gawin ang welcoming party niya. At kagaya nga ng sinabi ni Isidore, talagang hindi nagpigil ang apat. Talagang inorder nito ang lahat ng nakita nitong nakakatakam na mga pagkain, chichirya at iba’t-ibang klase ng mga inumin.Bahagya namang napangiwi si Danley nang mapatingin siya sa mga alak na inorder ni Lesley. Kaka-wala nga lang ng hangover niya pero heto at may alak na naman sa kanyang harapan.Ayaw pa nga sana niyang uminom pero ayaw niya rin naman na sirain ang mood ng party na para sa kanya. Kaya naman pinili na lamang niyang kunin ang pinakamahinang alak na inorder ni Lesley at kumain na rin habang sila Mara at Brae ay nagsimula ng kumanta na hindi nagtagal ay sinamahan na rin nila Lesley at Angel. Lesley sat in the center of the sofa, holding a San Miguel Pale Pilsen in her hand and smiling at her four newfound friends who were having a great time singing their hearts out. “Hindi ka ba kakanta?”
“Good Morning.” Ang pagbating iyon ng nakasuit and tie ng si Isidore ang nabungaran ni Danley nang pumasok siya sa kusina. “Let’s eat,” says Isidore matapos ilagay sa lamesa ang niluto nitong bacon.“Pareho lang naman ng nainom kagabi, hindi ba?” Tanong ni Danley habang ipinaghihila ng upuan ang kanyang sarili. Bahagya rin siyang napapangiwi sa tuwing kumikirot ang ulo niya.“Yes.” Sagot naman ni Isidore.“So how did you manage to get up early, cook breakfast, and not even appear like you had a hangover?”“Because I don’t have a hangover.” Nakataas ang isang kilay na tiningnan ni Danley si Isidore. Makikita sa mukha niya na hindi siya naniniwala sa sinabi ni Isidore na siya namang ikina-ngisi ng lalaki bago nito nilagyan ng pagkain ang plato ni Danley na ito mismo ang naglagay. Lalo namang tumaas ang isang kilay ni Danley. Namamalikmata ba siya? O talaga bang nilagyan ni Isidore ng pagkain ang plato niya? “Sa tingin ko may hangover ka talaga. I mean, look at what you’re doing!” Hindi
