LOGINBook 2 of "The Ceo's Secretary The priest who have been smiling since morning joined our hands together and asked Jason "Do you take Lexi Tyler as your lawful wife, to have to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" I and Jason's eyes met and he sighed heavily "Yes I do" he answered and everybody clapped The priest faced me and asked me the same question "Do you take Jason Stokes as your lawful husband, to have to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" I looked at Jason, he was a little bit scared "Yes, I do" I replied ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those were our words to each other on our wedding day but Jason didn't keep to them. Jason is a liar and a cheater!
View MoreMaagang dumating si Mira sa Primera Hotel event’s place, suot ang puting corporate dress at nakatali ang kanyang buhok. Tulad ng dati, organized siya at kalmado, siya ang ever reliable assistant ni Kyle Alvarado, ang CEO ng Megawide Corporation sa loob ng limang taon. Pati kasal ng boss ay siya ang nag-asikaso sa sobrang busy nito.
“Okay, flowers arranged, catering checked, music is ready,” bulong niya sa sarili habang nakatingin sa checklist.
Isa-isa nang nagsidatingan ang mga bisitang pawang kilalang personalidad, investors, at mga business partner. Elegante ang ayos ang lugar, mga puting bulaklak, gintong dekorasyon, at magarbong mesa. Lahat ay excited makita ang pag-iisang dibdib ni Kyle at Sofie, isang modelo.
Pero may isang problema. Wala pa si Sofie.
“Where is the bride?” tanong sa kanya ng wedding coordinator, palihim na nagpa-panic.
“Nasaan na ba siya? Hindi ba dapat nandito na siya kanina pa?” usisa ng makeup artist.
Mabilis na kinuha ni Mira ang kanyang phone at tinawagan si Sofie. Tatlong beses. Wala pa ring sagot.
Nakakunot ang noo ni Kyle habang papalapit. Suot ang classic black tuxedo, gwapo at makisig. Tila ito Greek god na nakalabas sa libro. Ipinilig niya ang ulo. Ikakasal na ang boss niya, dapat na niyang tigilan ang lihim na pagtingin dito.
“Mira,” malamig ang tono ni Kyle. "Anong nangyayari?”
“S-Sir, hindi pa po dumarating si Miss Sofie. I’ve tried calling her, multiple times, pero hindi po siya sumasagot.”
Suminghap si Kyle. Tumalikod saglit, tumingin sa altar, saka bumaling kay Mira.
“She’s coming, baka na-traffic lang.”
Tumango siya. He’s very particular with time. Wala ni isang empleyado ng Megawide ang nale-late. Pero pagdating kay Sofie, talagang nagiging soft ang cold-hearted na CEO.
Lumipas pa ang isang oras. Nasa altar na din ang pari. Nakahanda na ang lahat. Nagsisimula na ang bulungan ng mga tao sa paligid. Sino ba naman kasing matinong babae ang hindi sisipot sa kasal kung si Kyle Alvarado ang groom? Ito ang pinakamayamang business tycoon sa bansa bukod sa napakagwapo at kisig nito.
Tumunog ang cellphone nitong hawak niya. Nakita niya ang notification. Mensahe mula kay Sofie. Tila napugto ang hininga niya ng makita ang message.
“I’m sorry, Kyle. I can’t give up my career. Please forgive me,” nanginig ang kamay niya sa nabasa.
Nakita niyang palapit ang binata.
“Sir, m-may message po galing kay Ms. Sofie. Sir, huwag po kayong --”
Hindi na siya pinatapos ni Kyle. Bigla nitong hinablot ang cellphone at binasa ang message. Nakita niya ang paggalaw ng panga nito.
Humakbang ito palapit at marahas siyang hinila sa pulso. Halos mabitawan niya ang cellphone sa gulat.
“S-Sir?!” sigaw ni Mira habang binabagtas nila ang red carpet.
“Well, ngayon, kailangan ko ng bride. Inuutusan kitang pakasalan ako,” malamig pero nag-uutos ang tinig ni Kyle
“H-Ha? Sir, ano pong sinasabi ninyo?”
“Ikaw na ang ikakasal sa akin.”
Tila gusto niyang kurutin ang sarili dahil baka ang lahat ng ito ay panaginip lamang. Kagabi lang ay nasa delulu land siya at ini-imagine na siya ang bride ni Kyle. Mukhang nakinig ang universe sa kahilingan niya!
“Ano?! Sir, hindi po, hindi puwede tayong ikasal,” aniyang malapit ng himatayin.
“Wala akong bride, I need one,” matigas nitong sabi na tila nauubusan na ang pasensya. Ayaw pa naman nito ng makulit.
“Pero, Sir, ako po ay isang hamak na assistant lang,” aniyang napayuko. Nawala ang puso niya sa kinalalagyan.
“Exactly. Kasal lang ‘to sa papel. Babayaran kita ng malaking halaga. Sofie will come back sa sandaling malaman niyang ikinasal ako sa iba.”
Hindi na siya nakapagsalita pa at tumango na lamang. Payag siya kahit kasal-kasalan lamang ito. Hindi na niya namalayan kung paano siya nakarating sa room upang isuot ang wedding gown.
Nilamon siya ng kaba, takot, at excitement. Tulala siyang sumunod sa glam team.
Nagsimula na ang seremonyas sa hudyat ni Kyle. Tumutugtog ang klasikong instrumental wedding song habang unti-unting nagbukas ang malalaking pinto ng grand ballroom. Napalingon ang lahat sa dulo ng aisle, at halos sabay-sabay ang bulungan ng mga bisita sa gulat at pagtataka.
At sa harap ng daan-daang bisita, siya ang biglang naging bride. Umepekto na ang pagtutulos niya ng kandila sa simbahan. Pati ang prayer request niya sa log book ng chapel at Simbang gabi tuwing Disyembre. Wishes do come true.
Dahan-dahang lumakad si Mira, suot ang wedding gown na orihinal na para kay Sofie. Ang damit ay bumagay sa kanya sa paraang ni hindi niya naisip na posible, elegante ang damit na sakto ang sukat sa kanya. May kakaibang alindog siya na hindi niya sinasadyang maipamalas sa mamahaling gown. Nanginginig ang kamay niya habang hawak ang bouquet, at halos hindi siya makahinga. Ni hindi alam ng pamilya niya na ikinakasal siya.
Hindi ito dapat mangyari. Pero sinungaling siya kung sasabihin niyang ayaw niya ang makasal sa CEO na matagal na niyang iniibig na nasa sa dulo ng altar, nakatayo nang matikas at gwapo sa kanyang tuxedo. Ang mga mata nito ay nakatuon sa kanya at doon siya nakahanap ng lakas upang ipagpatuloy ang bawat hakbang. Kailangan siya ng boss.
Pagdating niya sa altar, inabot ni Kyle ang kamay niya. Init ng palad nito ang pumawi sa nanlalamig at naginginig niyang katawan.
Tahimik ang buong bulwagan. Pati ang pari ay sandaling natigilan, bago sinimulan ang seremonya. Walang nakakaalam kung ano ang nangyari kay Sofie. Walang paliwanag ngunit walang tumutol.
Lahat ay tulalang nakamasid sa bagong bride. Nagsimula ang pari na magsalita.
“Sa hirap at ginhawa…Sa sakit at kalusugan…Hanggang kamatayan...”
Isa-isang binigkas ni Kyle ang mga salita. Diretso ang tinig at walang alinlangan.
Ngunit nang siya na ang kailangang magsalita, sandali siyang namutla. Nanginginig ang boses niya habang inuulit ang mga salita ng pari.
“...tatanggapin kita… sa hirap at ginhawa…”
Napatingin siya kay Kyle. Nalunod na naman siya sa kulay tsokolateng mata ng kanyang boss.
“...at mamahalin habambuhay.”
“By the power vested in me,” sabi ng pari, “I now pronounce you husband and wife.”
Mabilis ang tibok ng kanyang puso. Legal na asawa na siya ng CEO ng Megawide Corporation. Parang panaginip. Parang eksena sa pelikula at nobela.
“You may now kiss the bride,” anang pari.

Carmella HartI heard the sound of approaching high heels and I adjusted my sitting position. My mind was beating a million times per microseconds but I still tried to put on an hard face even though I was shaking insideFinally, the door opened and the person in the high heels stepped inside the room. The next second, the light bulb was turned on and when I saw the person that was standing in the middle of the room, my heart beat stopped racing and I said "How did you guys find me?""Carmmy Carmmy Carmella" Lexi Ryan sang "Urrrhggg, you look really pale""Come and help me out of this handcuff""I don't think that is a good idea" she said and smiled while rolling her eyes "I think you're cuter with the handcuff on""Lexi what are you doing?"She sat at the foot of the bed and looked at me hatefully"You still don't understand what is going on?

Casper HartFive hours laterLike a joke, Carmmy's shopping had turned out into something else because her phone was found few blocks away from the mallI sighed heavily and looked at dad and Jason that were discussing the mystery some meters away from me"Casper, be calm she will soon be back" Lexi Ryan reassured me for the hundredth time"She won't. Don't tell me 'she will'. It's obvious she has been abducted""Casper""She is my everything" I said as tears rolled down my cheeks "and I don't have any idea what is going on with her right now""I'm sure she is okay""JUST STOP LEXI!

Casper HartFor the past two hours, Jason had been talking to me about some important things that I had to take note of as a Manager of one of the Stokes enterprise branches."As a manager..." He trailed off when my phone rang"Sorry""It's okay. Pick it"I checked the caller, it was Lexi. Lexi Ryan"I will soon be back" I said to Jason before heading to Lexi's room. I knocked twice but when there came no reply, I opened the door."Lexi what is wrong with you?" I said concernly and rushed toward her. She was shivering on her bed"Close...the...door" she said slowly"What is wrong with you!?""Cold...close...the...door""You need to see a doctor" I said as I was walking back to the door in order to close it"I know" she shivered "but for now...I don't want to"I walked back to the bed and sat down on it"You aren't looking good. You need to see a doctor" I said worriedly"Stay...next to me...and I will be...go
