Chapter 28: Family Curse
Ilang beses na kumurap-kurap si Belle. Nag-iisip siya. Iniisip niya kung anong magandang isagot sa matanda nang hindi sila mabubuking o mapaghihinalaan na nagpapanggap lang ng apo nito.
Baga sila nagtungo roon ni Zyrone, they had a few rehearsed answers for questions they had anticipated Grandma Eve would ask. Gaya na lamang kung paano sila nagkakilala at kung paano sila na-in-love sa isa’t-isa. They both agreed to stick to one story that what they had was love at first sight that’s why they eloped for a few days to distract the people’s attention from the failed wedding Zyrone supposed to have with Audrey. Maging ang mga basic information questions tungkol sa kanya, praktisado na rin niya ang sagot. At sa totoo lang, nagpunta siya roon na medyo confident sa question and answer portion nila ng matanda.
But the old woman’s question about the pregnancy, ‘yon ang hindi niya napaghandaan. At ang magaling niyang asawa, hindi

Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 29: Family Curse 2
Napasinghap si Belle sa biglaang paglalapit nilang iyon ni Zyrone. Her heart hammered rapidly inside her chest as his presence engulfed her whole being—sending all of her logic flying out of the window. Taranta siyang nag-angat ng tingin rito. Her mind instantly went blank when she realized that their lips were just inches apart—she could almost taste his addicting minty breath. His sea-colored eyes were looking down at her with much intensity, her knees almost gave in. “Do you trust me?” seryosong tanong nito maya-maya. Lalo siyang naguluhan. “H-ha?” He didn’t respond. He just quickly picked her up in his arms and made her sit on top of the old oak wood table. She wanted to protest. But she was too confused to think, how much more to speak! Zyrone gently cupped her face with his hands and planted a soft kiss on her lips. The kiss was brief, almost a peck. Subalit lalo lang niyong pinatindi ang kalituhan sa isip n
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 30: True Lies
Tahimik si Belle habang nasa daan sila patungo sa lake house ng pamilyang Craig. Bukod kasi sa naghihimagsik pa rin ang damdamin niya sa fake make-out session nila ni Zyrone, kina-career na rin niya ang pagma-mantra para hindi na niya ulit makalimutan na hindi talaga niya totoong asawa si Zyrone!She’s serious in conditioning her mind. Ayaw na niyang maulit ang nangyari kanina sa library na para siyang gaga na dalang-dalang sa mga halik at haplos ni Zyrone.Mabuti nang handa ang huwisyo at mga hormones niya sa mga biglaang fake make-out sessions na kasama sa pagpapanggap nila.She released a slow breath—trying to rein in her emotions. There she was a no-boyfriend-since-birth virgin woman, engaging to a fake make-out session with her fake husband in order to make their sham marriage believable to his dying grandmother who’s the only one who has the power to reverse all the crazy things his shitty father had done.She used to

“This will be our room,” Zyrone announced before he pushed the big wooden door in front of Belle.Agad na tumambad sa kanya ang malawak na silid na naliliwanagan ng natural light mula sa veranda. And though she knows that everything in that room is as expensive as she could only imagine like the rest of the things she had seen from the rest of the house, their room felt airy and light—welcoming and relaxing.The room was overlooking the famous Lake Tahoe with its silvery serene water glistening against the warm morning sun. And she must admit, the beauty of nature on that side of the world was really a sight to behold!She’s sure, she’d enjoy vacationing there. Kaya lang, hindi naman bakasyon ang ipinunta niya roon. Nandoon siya para umarte. Nandoon siya para magpanggap bilang Mrs. Craig.She hesistantly stepped inside the room and followed Zyrone. Nang makapasok siya, mabilis na isinara ni Zyrone ang pinto ng k

Once inside the bathroom, Belle quickly stripped off her clothes and went straight to the shower. She needed that bath to calm herself. She willed herself not to think of anything and just enjoy the bath she was having so as to relax herself from all the trouble her life was currently having.She changed into a casual floral dress and paired it with her flat designer shoes. The shoes was a gift from Lee Ann last Christmas. Sa totoo lang, twinning sila nito. Mayroon din kasi itong ganoong sapatos na parehas ng design subalit iba lang ang kulay.She was never into designer things. Because aside from she knew that spending for those things is beyond her pay grade, she was never really into expensive things. Siguro dahil lumaki siya sa simpleng pamumuhay kasama ang Mama niya. At tinuruan siya nito na ang mga materyal na bagay ay hindi ang sukatan ng kayamanan kundi ang kabutihan ng puso. She looked at herself in the mirror and put on a lig

Belle played with her food as she carefully listened to Grace and Zyrone talking. Sila na lang tatlo ang naiwan sa hapag at itinuloy ang pagkain ng pananghalian. Nagpunta kasi sa study sina Grandma Eve at ang mga magulang ni Zyrone upang mag-usap. Sa totoo lang, kinakabahan siya. Hindi niya kasi alam kung anong pinag-uusapan ng mga nakatatanda. Lalo pa at si Zyrone, parang walang pakialam sa pinaguusapan ng mga magulang at lola nito. He seemed to be so happy talking to Grace who was openly flirting with him na mukha namang gustong-gusto nito. “I miss kayaking. Hope we could do it again while we’re here, Zyrone” ani Grace maya-maya. “Yeah, me too. It’s been a while,” segunda naman ni Zyrone. “The last time we did it, the kayak turned because you said there was a hawk following me,” sabi ni Grave, tunog sumbong. “You scared me, Zyrone,” anito, sa lalo pang pinaliit na tinig. Zyrone chuckled. “I was just kiddi
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 34: A Party 2
Humugot ng malalim na hininga si Belle habang pinagmamasdan ang sarili niya sa full-length mirror na nasa kanyang harapan. She was wearing a silver sparkly formal dress that perfectly hugs her slim figure with a neckline that falls just between the valley of her breast. Her long brown hair was pinned up in a messy low bun. Her make-up was subtle yet highlighted the best feature of her face-- her eyes.She looks, perfect. But perfect was far from how she feels right now.She’s nervous as hell!Kung kaya lang niyang umeskapo o magtago sa kung saan mang sulok ng bahay na iyon nang hindi agad nahahanap ninoman, baka kanina pa niya ginawa. Dahil kahit na anong pagkokondisyon ang gawin niya sa sarili niya, ayaw kumalma ng huwisyo niya. Pakiramdam niya sasabak siya sa giyera at ni wala siyang sandata!Hindi naman kasi siya irap-proof at insulto-proof. At sigurado siya, paglabas niya mamaya sa kuwartong iyon, papaulanan na naman siya ng irap a

“I will not allow your decision, Mother. That’s our family’s heirloom. You cannot just give it to anyone!” Zyrone’s father yelled at Grandma Eve. They were inside the library and had been in discussion for a long time now. “Who are you to tell me what to do, Richard? This was given to me by your father. I can give it to whomever I want to give it to,” his grandmother reasoned out while she’s seating on her wheelchair. Grandma Eve was already dressed for the occasion just like the rest of them on that room. His grandmother was wearing a red dress, as if asserting her power over all of them. But his father just won’t back down.“That girl your grandson had married is a stranger! Who knows if Zyrone just used her so that he won’t marry Grace— the rightful woman for him.” His father turned to him. “Go ahead Zyrone, tell your grandmother the truth!” “Richard!” awat ng Mommy niya, nangungusap pa na tumingin sa kanya. He k

Nang magmulat ng mga mata si Belle kinabukasan, agad na bumati sa kanya ang masiglang sinag ng pang-umagang araw na lumalagos mula sa malaking bintana ng silid. Muli siyang pumikit at dinama ang malambot na kutson kung saan siya nakahiga. From what she remembered, her bed wasn’t that soft. Pero wala na iyong bale sa kanya. Ang importante nakapagpahinga siya. This is the best sleep she had in days. Kung hindi nga lang sa huni ng mga ibon sa labas ng veranda kanina, baka hindi pa siya nagigising. Veranda. Agad siyang napamulat. Walang veranda ang kuwarto niya! Agad siyang napabalikwas ng bangon sa kama. Mabilis niyang ipinagala ang tingin nang matanto niyang wala siya sa kanyang silid. And then, all the events of the past few days flashed in her mind—the wedding, the scandal, her marrying Zyrone and last night’s horrible party. Alanganin niyang nilingon ang tabi niya, gusot pa rin ang beddings subalit wala na s
