Lahat ng Kabanata ng FORCED MARRIAGE: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

I'm going back abroad tonight because my class will start in two days. I wanted to return a day before my class started, but Aunty Mara disagreed. She worried that there was a flight delay. And so that I could rest before I go back to school. I sighed sadly. We ate lunch earlier with Alice, Ana, and their parents in a sad atmosphere. Even Grandpa Phil has tears in his eyes. I don't want to return, but I don't want to disappoint Uncle Jayson. We are in the living room now, waiting for when I need to leave. Grandpa Phil is beside me, holding my hand, and on my other side is Lyza. "Call me always, okay? " "Okay, Grandpa, I call you every time I'm free. ""I'm scared this is the last time I will see you. " He murmured. "Don't talk about that Grandpa. I want you to attend my graduation. I want you to be one to accompany me to my graduation. So you rest well, drink your medicine to get better.""I want that? " He grinned and placed my palm on his cheek. My eyes brimmed with tears when

LYZAToday is Gian graduation. Dad and Grandpa Carlos flew to the US two days ago to attend his graduation. Mom wanted to go, but she couldn't leave Sander for long. I want to go too, but I have a final exam today. I sigh sadly. But Dad promised to record Gian graduation to show it to us. I'm so proud of Gian. He got the highest recognition in his class. My parents were so happy. Dad even jumped in joy when Gian told us. Grandpa Carlos and Grandpa Phil, we're pleased too. It's a big achievement for Gian, and I'm so happy for him. "Now I study hard so that my parents will be proud of me too, as well as Gian. I am in my second year of secondary school, and now at the top of my class. My family was happy about my achievement, and I want it to stay like that. "Dustin is in college now taking up accountancy. He said he loves numbers and enjoy solving a math problem. He didn't tutor me anymore. But if I have something I don't understand in my lesson, I ask him to help me. I felt terribl

LYZA"Sander, come back here. " I watched as Mom chased Sander in the living room. It's been two years since Grandpa Phil died. And we all slowly get back on track. Dad returned to the office after three months. Grandpa Phil died, but he let Gian handle some of the branches. Gian became popular since the day he graduated from Stanford University. He became the news headlines for a few weeks, and many companies offered him a job in and out of the country. He also became popular with women. Every time he attended business parties, women surrounded him. He is always on the cover of the magazine. He is more popular than celebrities now. I sigh sadly. I felt so insecure about standing beside him. He's gorgeous and successful, while I am seventeen and a senior, but he always assured me that I'm the most beautiful woman in his eyes. My graduation is in two weeks, and I'm happy that I'm the valedictorian of our class. Dad hugged me tightly when I told him and peppered my face with kisses

LYZA"Open up for me, love. " He murmured on my lips. I closed my eyes and parted my lips for him. But gasped and pulled away from the kiss when his tongue touched mine. I opened my eyes, and he looked at me, maybe waiting for what I would do. I blushed, bit my lips, and pressed it back to him, and he chuckled but deepened the kiss. God, I love the feeling, especially the person I love so much was the one kissing me. The feeling is exhilarating. It feels like currents are running in my veins. And the butterflies they were saying are there rioting in my stomach. He pulled away when he felt we needed air to breathe, and I gasped, filling my lungs with much-needed air while Gian just chuckled, watching me. "Stop chuckling. You suck all the air inside me." He burst into laughter this time and pulled me into his lap. "You just need more practice to get used to it.."I folded my arms in my chest and glared at him. "What with that look? " He kissed my forehead and leaned his chin on my h

LYZAMy graduation just finished., and I have a graduation ball later. It's a masquerade. Our teacher said it's just for fun if we could recognize our classmates later. We can bring a date, and even though I'm embarrassed, I asked Gian if he could be my date. It's embarrassing because I asked him in front of my father. But I couldn't find him in the house nowadays. He is always busy. He went to work early and came back home late, and yesterday was the only time I saw him. He was talking with Dad and was ready to leave for work. I rushed to them, startling Dad and Gian. I awkwardly smile at them nervously. "Umm! Babe! ""Babe? " My father raised his eyebrow at me with his hands on his waist. "Dad, can you leave us for a while, please? I want to ask Gian something. It's important. ""No! ""Daddy! " He folded his arms in his chest, raising his eyebrow at me."What is it? I'm running late. You can tell in front of Uncle I don't mine.""You see, tomorrow is my graduation. ""He cannot
