My Sister's Substitute Wife

Tatlong araw na ang lumipas matapos ipaalam ng kanyang ama sa kanyang lola ang pagkawala ng kanyang kapatid. Tatlong araw na rin pinapahanap ng kanyang lolo kung nasaan ito. The last news they received from the person her grandfather had ordered to trace her sister's last transaction was that she had flown to Dubai. And their abuelo does not stop to find her and return her to her husband.Nagpaalam si Leila sa kanyang abuela na pupunta ng sentro para bumili ng ibang gagamitin niya sa pinaplanong bagong ipipinta. The other color of her acrylic paint was run out and even the other brush that she always used was worn out so she had to buy a new one. Hindi na siya nakapagpaalam sa kanyang abuelo dahil maagang umalis ito papuntang planta kung nasaan ang paggawaan at imbakan ng mga na aning ubas upang gawing alak.Sakay ang kotse na iniregalo sa kanya ng kanyang abuelo noong nakapagtapos siya ng kolehiyo ay minaneho niya ito't tinahak ang sementadong daan pababa ng sentro. Her grandparents'

Kanina pa walang humpay sa pagtulo ang luha ni Leila simula ng kaladkarin siya ni Stefano pasakay ng sasakyan hanggang sa makarating sila ng airport at binuhat paakyat sa eroplano na siyang sinakyan din nila noong umalis sila ng Mallorca. Hindi niya matanggap na siya ngayon ang nasa sitwasyon na kailanman ay hindi niya inaasahan. Nagagalit siya. Nagagalit sa lahat ng naglagay sa kanya sa sitwasyong 'to.She was alone where she sat now, which made her thankful that Stefano wasn't by her side. She didn't know where he was after he put her down on the chair and he just turned his back on her. Kung puwede lang sana tumalon sa eroplanong sinasakyan nila ngayon nang hindi siya mamamatay ay ginawa na niya para lang makatakas rito. She was not used to his presence, especially when he was angry. She is not used to dealing with this kind of behavior.Leila clenched her fists as she remembered what she and her father had talked about..."Ikaw nga ba iyan, Leila?" pangungumpirma nito."Sì, papá,"

Leila doesn't know if she made the right decision to accept Stefano's invitation for them to attend a party. Nababahala siya sa mga taong makakaharap, baka mangyari uli ang panunugod sa kanya kagaya ng nangyari noong nakaraang araw. Hindi imposible iyon, lalo pa't nasa iisang estado sa buhay ang lahat ng imbitado roon. Even though Stefano assured her that he would never leave her and would protect her, she still couldn't get rid of the fear. What happened to her the other day was scary and still remains in her until now. She is afraid if her sister has done something bad to other people and she will be the one to be mistaken again. Kung noong nakaraang araw ay gustong-gusto niyang lumabas, ngayon ay natatakot na siya.Leila just sighed at her thoughts. Magtitiwala na lang muna siya kay Stefano.Nakikita naman niya dito na ayaw din siya nito masaktan. Na nagagalit din ito kapag nasasaktan siya ng iba.Gagamitin muna niyang dahilan ang maling akala nito. Hindi naman siguro iyon masama,
