Chapter 1: Meeting

"So.... anong oras ba ang dating niya? He's twenty minutes late," reklamo ni Clara sa kanyang mga magulang. Hindi niya pa nakikilala ang 'businessman' na 'yon pero mukhang hindi niya na gusto ito. "He's coming..." Ngumiwi siya sa sinagot ng kanyang ama. Hindi na siya nagtataka kung ito-tolerate ng kanyang mga magulang ang pagiging late nito dahil kailangan nila ng tulong. Damon Barreto is the youngest ace of Barreto's prodigy. He is the legacy. Kilala na siya bilang magaling sa industriya ng negosyo dahil sa kanyang talino at husay sa pagpapatakbo ng kompanya. Kahit nga ang sarili nitong kadugo, walang sinasanto pagdating sa negosyo. Marami na rin ari-arian at haciendero pa. May agricultural wealth kaya alam niyang kahit malugi ang isang kompanya, hindi pa rin siya maghihirap. "Hija, yung pinag-usapan natin tungkol kay Damon. He's a busy person kaya kung pinaunlakan niya ang imbitasyon natin, malaking pabor 'yun." Clara raised her brow. Tama nga naman. Base sa mga nabasa

Chapter 2: Changes

Clara groaned as she hugged her favorite Dior Saddle bag. Importante sa kanya ang bag na 'yun dahil bigay sa kanya iyon ng kanyang Tito Ariel. But she needs to sell it. "Hija," her mother whispered. Agad siyang umayos at isinantabi ang mga bag na nasa kama niya para lang harapin ang kanyang ina. Her mother walked towards her and caressed her hair gently. "Do I need to do this?" Her mother sighed. "We need to sell our other things, hija. Kahit naman na tutulungan tayo ni Damon, we need to find ways to have money." Clara frowned. Her mother laughed. "Magpabili ka nalang sa asawa mo." "Do you really believe he is... the right man to be my husband? I mean... look at him! He's arrogant and I don't like the way he talks to me!" Inabot ng kanyang ina ang kanyang kamay at hinaplos ito. Nagpakalma ito sa kanya at naisip na kailangan niya ngang gawin 'to para sa pamilya. She can't afford to look at her parents, ang kanyang mga magulang na ibinigay sa kanya ang lahat para lang palugu

Chapter 3: Party

Clara closed her eyes as she saw Nathan. Nathan is her ex-boyfriend. They were together for three years until she found out about Nathan's vices and secret relationship with her ex-best friend. "Go away!" "Is it true?" Nathan pulled her hand. "You are marrying Damon Barreto?" Clara's eyes widened. Masyado na bang kalat ang balita tungkol sa pagpapakasal nila? Wala pa nga ang proper engagement announcement nila kaya nagtataka siya kung bakit nalaman ni Nathan iyon. "How did you know about it?! Pwede ba bitiwan mo nga ako!" But Nathan was too strong. Naiinis na siya kaya wala siyang choice kundi ang itulak ito. Kaya naman nakatingin na tuloy sa kanila ang mga tao. "Clara... I am sorry. Alam mo naman na hindi ko sinasadya iyon. Iyong tungkol sa drugs... Clara... promise hihinto na ako," Nathan begged. Clara closed her eyes. She doesn't want to make a scene! "Nathan... please. Tumayo ka nga. Pinagtitinginan na tayo. Ano ka ba..." "Take me back please. I'll finish m

Chapter 4: Mine

It all started with business greetings. Some speeches before telling everyone about the engagement. Pero bago paman sabihin ni Damon ang anunsyong 'yon, ramdam na ni Clara ang tingin ng mga babae sa kanya. "And now... after spending some years being a slave of business, I would like to tell everyone that I am going to spend my remaining years with a beautiful woman, with a beautiful black dress named Clara Ardiente." Clara's heart pounded like crazy. Lahat ng mata ay nasa kanya. The flashes and claps—that's all she can hear. Damon offered his hand to hold her. She smiled as Damon kissed her cheeks, making her stunned a bit. 'Ang galing talaga magkunwari ng isang ito' iyon ang nasa isip ni Clara nang halikan siya ni Damon. His hand held her waist. Damon made some speech about her and how they met. Hindi na nag-abalang magsalita si Clara lalo na't alam niya naman na hindi lahat ng nakikinig ay naniniwala na nagmamahalan sila. They know it. Businessman sila kaya alam nila ku

Chapter 5: Coffee

"Hindi mo na sana pinatulan si Nathan." Clara was seriously worried. Ayaw niyang magkagulo dahil ayaw niyang masangkot sa kahit anong eskandalo ang pamilya nila. Lalo na ngayon at ikakasal na sila. "Are you... defending him?" "I am not! Ang sinasabi ko lang ay sana hindi mo na pinatulan!" Damon is angry now. He couldn't take it. Sa tuwing nakikita niya ang Nathan na iyon, naalala niyang dati itong nobyo ni Clara. Nag-iinit agad ang ulo niya. At kanina, kung hindi dahil kay Clara, baka kung ano na nagawa nito sa kanya. Damon knew about what happened to their relationship. Kaya mas lalo siyang nagagalit dahil sa kabila ng ginawa ni Nathan kay Clara, he can still sense that she's protecting him at all costs... and from him. He can fucking destroy Nathan's life. But he won't do that. Baka kamuhian siya ni Clara kapag ginawa niya iyon. "Damon! Are you even listening?" Clara asked. "Wala sa kontrata natin ang violence! Nathan is my friend!" Mas lalong kumunot ang no

Chapter 6: Jealous

"Clara Ardiente!" Damon shouted. Namilog ang mga mata ni Clara nang mapagtanto niya kung gaano kalakas ang sigaw na iyon dahilan para magsitinginan ang mga empleyado. Umalingawngaw iyon sa buang palapag. Clara gulped and glared at him. She faked her smile at may halong galit ang bawat hakbang niya papalapit kay Damon. "What are you doing?!" she faced Damon. She shrieked a bit when Damon pulled her and went inside his office. Mas malaki iyon kumpara sa ibang opisina na nakikita niya sa labas. May mga mamahaling mwebles at chandelier. "I didn't know you were here," he said. Clara crossed her arms. "Well, ang sabi ng secretary mo, bawal kang istorbohin kaya naghintay ako!" Dumiretso si Clara at inilapag ang mini bag niya sa swivel chair. Damon raised his brow as he looked at her. "Pwede ka naman pumasok." "Sabi nga ng secretary mo na bawal!" He smirked. "Pagsasabihan ko siya. Next time, dumiretso ka kaagad." Ngumuso si Clara at naalala na nainsulto nga pala siya. "W

Chapter 7: The Wedding

The moment Clara Ardiente stepped in and agreed to marry the ruthless Damon Barreto, she won't worry about her future anymore. Kung pera lang din naman ang pag-uusapan, walang magiging problema. Kung pangalan lang din ang tatanungin, mas lalong walang kailangan problemahin. Marrying Damon is a secure plan for her. That's what her parents believed. She's wearing her high-end designer gown. Dinisenyo lang 'yun para sa kanya. Her black hair was pinned with diamond and crystal. It was styled with soft waves. She's also wearing a silver pendant kung saan minana niya pa sa kanyang great grandmother. Today is her wedding day. The music played. Nakatayo na ang lahat nang buksan ang antigong pintuan para lang masilayan kung gaano siya kaganda habang papalapit kay Damon. It was romantic for a business. May plano na ang dalawa pagkatapos nito. Clara's father is a well-known engineer at para maisalba ang pangalan, Damon's influential wealth will help him. Pero alam ni Clara kung ano ang kapalit

Chapter 8: First Night

After the party, agad na tumungo sina Damon at Clara sa isang rest house na ibinigay ng mga magulang ni Damon. Regalo sa kanya iyon bilang reward dahil nakapagtapos siya ng Summa Cum Laude sa college niya. The resthouse was nestled in a forested style because of more trees. Para silang nasa kalagitnaan ng bundok. Glass walls, open terrace and the white curtain were dancing romantically. Clara got amazed when she saw the oversized sofa tapos ang malaking chandelier, hindi nawawala. It was too much to call a resthouse. She's wearing a white backless dress. She can slightly feel the coldness of the house. Natigilan siya nang maramdaman si Damon sa likod niya. She bit her lips because she already expected that something will happen in their first night. Damon's breath traces her neck. Tinagilid niya iyon at mas lalong naramdaman ang pagbigat ng hininga. "Do you like it?" Damon whispered. Nanatiling nakapikit ang mga mata niya nang tumango. Damon chuckled and hugged her from

Chapter 9: Work

Clara couldn't even smile back as she gave the black card to the girl. She experienced a twinge of guilt for doing this but... her mother told her to use it. Kakauwi lang nila galing honeymoon at agad siyang inambush ng kanyang ina. "Mom—" Her mother picked another designer bag. She took a step towards her. "Hija... I told you. Barya lang 'to kay Damon. You are married! You can use it!" She sighed. Iyon naman ang plano niya pero alam niyang hindi niya dapat iyon abusuhin. "What happened?" "Nothing. Sinabi ko lang sa kanya na gusto kong mag-trabaho." "Then?" Siyempre wala siyang nakuhang matinong sagot mula sa asawa. Damon wanted her to enjoy her life as his wife. Ito man ang gusto niya pero naisip niyang kailangan niyang mag-trabaho. Nagbago ang pananaw na iyon nang makilala niya ang pamilya ni Damon. Alam niyang hindi lang basta-basta mayaman ang mga Barreto. "Twenty-eight thousand and seven hundred pesos, Madame." Narinig niya ang sinabi ng babae. She sighed. I

Chapter 10: Favor

"What?" Damon asked her wife while reading some papers. Clara got hired. Ginawa niya na ang gusto ng asawa kaya hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit sumugod ito sa opisina niya at masama ang tingin. "Talaga Damon? I know the reason why you choose that department! May purpose iyon!" He sighed. "Hmmm? Binigyan kita ng trabaho. What's the matter now?" Nasa gilid niya lang si Freya at tinatanggap ang mga dokyumento, tila walang pakialam kung nagtatalo ang dalawa. Clara almost glared at her. "Is it true? Pinalipat mo sa ibang department lahat ng boys?!" Clara laughed. "Why would you do that?" "Mas kailangan sila ng ibang department." "Oh, come on! And they didn't want me to work! Naii-intimidate silang utusan ako!" reklamo ni Clara sa kanya. "Parang naupo lang ako buong maghapon at walang ginagawa!" "It's their choice." "Dahil natatakot sila sa iyo!" Damon smirked. "I am not harming anyone, Clara. This is how I work. This is what I am when I am in my company. My employees
