The more he hated her, the more she pursued him. After learning that she was arranged to marry his brother and she might ruin his life if she disagreed, Cassidy knew she had to stop her unrequited feelings for him and sacrificed her own freedom in exchange for his safety. But as she tried to distance herself, he then finally looked her way. Or was it her being delusional again? Will she still let her feelings win even she knew she will cause his downfall? Or is it time for her to finally let go?

Even the waves were a bit loud, it was still peaceful for me. Habang patuloy na naglalakad ay tinitignan ko si Zeke na panay hagis ng mga maliit na bato suot ang manipis na putting button down shirt at khaki shorts niyang brown. Hayag ang kaniyang matipunong dibdib dahil nakabukas ang apat na butones ng pantaas niya’t magulo ang buhok na lalong bumagay sa kanyang suot. So handsome. My soon to be husband. Agad itong napalingon sa akin at agad na napangiti bago tumigil sa pambabato’t naglakad palapit sa akin. Tumama ang sikat ng araw sa kanyang likuran kaya’t kita mo ang malaki niyang pangangatawan sa loob ng suot niyang damit. “Hey, lovely.” He immediately bent down a little to kiss me before he wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me even closer. We took a moment before we stopped so I already spoke. “I’m done cooking.” Actually, he wa
CASS “Saan sila unang susugod?” Walang pakialam si Zeke kahit pa lumipad ang kotse sa sobrang bilis ng pagpapatakbo niya. Ilang beses na niyang tinawagan ang ina ngunit hindi ito sumasagot. Matinding kaba ang lumunok sa akin nang buo hindi lang dahil sa natatakot akong saktan ng nanay ni Zeke sina tita Devina. Ang inaalala ko nang matindi ay sina Mommy-bear at Daddy-bear dahil ang huling text sa akin ni Mommy ay dumiretso ako sa bahay nila Chad dahil nandoon sila. Hindi puwedeng madamay ang mga magulang ko. “Kaiden asked Al to get Chad and bring him back to the house. That was my mom’s instruction to them.” Paliwanag nya habang hawak ang manibela ng kotse sabay apak ulit sa gas para bumilis ang takbo. “Ano ba ang plano ng mommy mo?” nanginginig ako nang matindi at di na naiwasang mapagtaasan ng boses si Zeke. Naghahalo-halo na ang lahat ng emosyon ko sa sobrang takot. Hindi na ako makapag-isip nang tama. “I don’t exactly know, babe. She just told me that she’s planning to avenge
CASS Chadler was confined in a hospital because of what happened. Halos mabasag na nga talaga ni Zeke ang bungo ni Chad. His nose was broken and his lips were severely wounded. Both of his eyes were black and he could mot even open his eyes for too long. Gusto ko sanang um-absent ngayon pero kinausap ako ni tita Devina na siya na ang bahala. I really felt guilty about Chad and at the same time, galit ako kay Zeke. Masyado akong na-disappoint at parang di ko siya kayang harapin ulit. “Gusto mong samahan kitang bisitahin sya mamaya?” pagpe-presenta naman ni Trixy kaya’t tumango ako bilang tugon. Gusto ko talagang pagalitan si Zeke ngayon dahil naawa talaga ako sa sitwasyon ni Chad. Masyadong malala naman ang sinapit niya kahit di naman siya binawian. “So, nagkita talaga kayo ni Zeke? Sinabi nya ba sayo kung saang lupalop sya nagpunta at nawala sya ng ilang araw? Bumalik ba raw siya para mapatay kapatid niya? Napabuntong hininga na lang ako’t hindi naka-imik habang nakaupo sa harap
CASS I was the one to pick my dress to wear for the auction dahil kahit sina Mommy-bear ay busy rin sa pag-aayos sa sarili nya at kay Daddy-bear. "Is my baby ready?" Mommy-bear suddenly came in my room wearing her tube dress, a pair of white gloves paired with her pearl necklace. Looks like someone is excited. "Yep. Let me just have my final touch." Tumango naman si mommybear nang marahan bilang tugon bago ngumiti. "My daughter is so beautiful. More beautiful than all the young ladies out there." Napangiti naman ako at kumindat kay Mommy-bear habang tinitingnan ang reflection nya sa salamin ko. I am wearing an orange u-shaped fitted gown with a high slit at the right part of my leg, paired with a golden snake skin laced stilettos. "Chad's already downstairs. Your escort slash fiance is waiting." she reminded me before walking out of the room. I just hope Zeke would see me wearing this dress 'cause I feel like he'll love me more. I feel so beautiful tonight. But I still wish he w
CASSIDY We were now on the way back to our island since agad akong inalok ni Zeke na umuwi dahil biglang sumama raw ang pakiramdam nya. Pero meron akong pakiramdam na may hindi sya sinasabi sa akin. Nakatingin ako sa kawalan habang nakatayo sa tabi ni Zeke nang biglang may pumulupot sa beywang ko. “I saw something that you were holding earlier. What was that?” Agad na nagsitayuan ang mga balahibo ko nang bumulong nya sa aking tenga. I remembered the bracelet and my purpose why I brought it but still, I’m hesitating to give it to him. Hindi ko alam pero nakakahiya iyon ibigay. “Wala yun.” Nahihiya kong sabi at nagpasyang ilagay na lang sa cabinet nya o kaya sa bulsa. “Really? But I saw it. Is it for me?” Although it was indeed for him, nabigla pa rin ako sa agad niyang konklusyon. “Hindi no!” mariin kong itinanggi na lalo niyang ikinainis. “If it is for Chad, then I’ll throw it at the bottom of this f*cking sea.” Ani niya bago kinapa ang bulsa ng skirt ng summer dress ko at kin
CASS I cooked our breakfast for this morning and Zeke prepared our table. He also made our coffee and he toasted some bread. Masyadong nag-enjoy si Zeke sa lahat ng efforts nya at ako naman itong si pabebe na panay ang hindi pero kinikilig naman talaga. It felt so good to see him trying. It satisfied me so much. "You should eat a lot, baby. May pupuntahan tayo mamaya." Its been five days and I'm still here in this empty island with him. Letting him do his efforts and enjoying his company secretly. "Saan naman tayo pupunta? Hindi ba isolated itong isla na to?" tanong ko bago sumubo ng fried rice at itlog. Unti-unti na akong nasasanay sa ganitong setting. Yung magkatabi kaming matulog tapos bigla na lang akong aayain ni Zeke na manood o kaya eh magtampisaw sa tubig. "We'll be checking out another island." Biglang nanlaki ang dalawang mga mata ko at biglang napabitaw sa hawak na kutsara't tinidor. "Baka isolated na naman ah? Siguraduhin mong makakakita na ako ng ibang tao." Then a
CASS All my life, I always dreamed about Zeke and I being alone together. That one day, he would finally have a soft spot for me. That he would embrace me and finally agree that I am the one meant for him. I would have the freedom to hold his hand and hug him tight. Kiss him in front of a thousand people and brag about how much I love him and how he loves me. But now, I am not the one who was doing the move. Nakahiga ako ngayon sa kama suot mismo ang pantaas ni Zeke habang mahimbing itong natutulog sa tabi ko. Hindi ako makagalaw masyado dahil nakapulupot ang mabigat niyang braso sa beywang ko at nakabaon ang ulo niya sa aking leeg. Nakatalikod ako sa kaniya dahil ayaw kong ipakitang ayos sa akin ang ginagawa niya. Iisipin niyang kinunsinti ko ang ginagawa niya. Chad will be worried sick at lalo na si Mommy-bear. Siguradong ipapahanap nila ako nang matindi at hindi sila titigil hangga’t hindi ako nakikita. I slowly tried to remove Zeke’s arm but then he tightened his embrace even m
CASS I slowly moved my head as I felt my face leaning on something hard. Even my face is covered with a black silk, I could still smell and hear something. Iba ang amoy ng simoy ng hangin. Pakiramdam ko’y maalat at masyadong malakas kaya’t lumilipad ang buhok ko na parang watawat. Kasabay ng malakas na ingay ng umaandar na motor, dinig ko rin ang malakas na alon at ang bahagyang pagtaas-baba ng kinauupuan ko. Everything was giving me clues already. I’m on a small boat in the middle of the sea. “Tulong! Tulungan nyo po ako!” agad kong sigaw kahit hindi ako sigurado sa sitwasyon ko ngayon. Ang alam ko lang ay kailangan kong makabalik dahil naghihintay sa airport si Chad. Siguradong nag-aalala na iyon. “The damsel in distress is finally awake.” Muli kong narinig ang pamilyar na boses ng dumikot sa akin. Kasabay man niyon ang tunog ng motor ay malinaw na malinaw ko pa rin ang mga salitang binigkas niya. “Who are you? What do you want from me? Let me go!” Pagkasigaw ko ay agad na may n
CASSIDY "May tiwala naman ako kay Chad, anak. He's a nice gentleman and I know you're going to enjoy your sem break with him!" Mommy-bear defended Chad after I confronted her about her allowing me to be with him for the whole semestral break. I never expected her to agree immediately because even though she wanted me to marry him, I still expected her to set boundaries. Masyado siyang maluwang ngayon. It was like, she doesn't mind at all! She kept telling me that I should not worry a lot about me and Chad being alone together in an island. Seriously, that is now how a mother usually reacts! "Mommy-bear naman eh! Masyado pa kaming bata! Ano na lang ang iisipin ng iba? Daig pa na namin ang kasal na!" "Eh sa magiging mag-asawa na rin naman kayo! Sayo na mismo nanggaling na may kasalang magaganap diba? I don't have anything to worry about, even if he gets you pregnant!" Nahulog bigla ang panga ko sa sobrang pagkabigla at hindi ako nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. Is she serious? Does sh
