CLARISSE’S POV Being a victim of violence and rape has been a difficult experience for me. Life isn’t all about happiness and contentment; there are some problems, chaos, and struggle that we must face because that is the reality. Who would have guessed that the man I’d trusted my entire life would be the one to wreck and shatter me? I am no longer the pure, decent, and strong woman I once was… but am I really that strong? Because in the past, people have always manipulated, harassed, and dictated to me when I just wanted to move on my own. My virginity is the only one I have right now, but it was easily taken away in the middle of the night while I was unconscious and under the influence of drugs. I’m disgusted with myself, and I want to annihilate my face and body because I felt miserable, weak, cowardly, and pathetic. My beauty is also a curse that I wish I didn’t have so that bad people and predators wouldn’t be interested and lusting after me. If you are a rape victim in this

CLARISSE’S POV “Good morning to my beautiful wife!” Pagkamulat ng aking mga mata ay ang gwapo at maamong mukha ng asawa kong si Duke ang bumungad sa akin. Ngumuso ako at mas lalong nagsumiksik sa half naked niyang dibdib na puno ng mga tattoo. Ito lang yata ang araw na nagising ako na sobrang gaan ng pakiramdam ko at babangon na walang iintindihing problema. “Good morning din,” bati ko. Rinig na rinig ko ang malakas na tibok ng puso ni Duke habang marahang hinahaplos ang buhok ko. “Gutom ka na ba? I will cook our breakfast or pwede namang sila Camille na ang paglutuin ko.” Malambing niyang sabi. Umiling ako. “Mamaya na lang.” “Hmm… I know you just want to cuddle me all day, and that’s fine with me; this is our first day as husband and wife, and we need to spend more time together.” Sabi niya at hinalikan ang noo ko. Ganito pala ang pakiramdam kapag gigising ka na katabi ang taong mahal mo, sobrang ang gaan sa loob at panandaliang makakalimutan ang mga kinakaharap na problema.

DUKE’S POV In the past, I’ve had a lot of sex with various women, including my ex-girlfriends. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like having sex with them. Who doesn’t enjoy sex? But I can’t seem to find the person I’ll love for the rest of my life. Previously, the majority of my feelings were only lust and the desire to have a girlfriend. Something is always missing. My love and affection for the women I was before were insufficient to make me feel good about my heart and mind. I was in love and became obsessed, and it hurts that my feelings for the woman I loved were not reciprocated. I’m grateful Clarisse’s entered my life. She completely transformed me, and I still can’t believe she agreed to spend an intimate night with me. Habang hinahalikan ko siya ay hinawakan ko ang baywang niya at dahan-dahang hiniga sa kama. Her naked body and wet appearance begs me to cum. She’s so fucking seductive! However, there will be more time for that later. Nang maghiwalay ang aming labi ay ngum

RAVI’S POV “Do you still love her?” Hindi ako makasagot sa tanong ni Margarette. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love Clarisse; she’s the only one I’ll ever love. Mas lalo siyang umiyak sa hindi ko pagsagot. For the past four years, Margarette help me to heal and move-on but when we returned here in the Philippines and I saw Clarisse, all of what I did was wasted because until now, I still love her. “Ginawa mo lang ba akong rebound, Ravi?” nasasaktang tanong ni Margarette. “I’m sorry,” That’s all I can say. Humagulgol siya at tinignan ako ng masama. I can’t blame her if she’s upset with me; I hurt her. “I did everything to love you and make you forget that girl, but four years have passed and you still love her? How about my feelings, Ravi? I love you so much and I want to live with you for the rest of my life…” she cried harder and clutched my bruised hand. Mahigit isang linggo na akong nandito sa ospital at nagpapagaling dahil sa mga natamo kong sugat at pasa kay Kuya Duke.

CLARISSE’S POV “Welcome family and friends. We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the marriage of Duke Melendrez and Clarisse Ann Victorino. This is not the beginning of a new relationship but an acknowledgment of the next chapter in their lives together, and we now bear witness to what their relationship has become. Today, they will affirm this bond formally and publicly.” Ngayon ay nagaganap ang second wedding namin ni Duke. Pinipigilan ko lang na huwag umiyak nang todo dahil baka masira pa itong make-up ko na pinaghirapan nina Ate Camille at Ate Haya. Muli akong ikinasal sa lalakeng mahal ko at mas napabilis dahil mahigit isang buwan na din akong buntis. Nasa harapan ko ang pinakagwapong lalake na nakilala ko at ang magiging ama ng batang ipinagbubuntis ko. Para siyang isang karakter sa isang kwento na lumabas sa libro kung titignan. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na ang isang lalakeng katulad niya ay siyang makakatuluyan ko at ang lalakeng pag-aalayan ng buong buha
