Semua Bab Mrs. Guevarra: The Rejected Wife: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Anna sat in Nora Guevarra’s art studio. Nora, multiple pens in front of her, was showing her a couple of sketches of wedding dresses. “What do you think, Anna?" Nora asked her excitedly. "Those are all great sketches, Nora. They're really lovely,” Anna answered, flipping through the pages. She stopped at a sketch of a princess-style wedding gown. The dress started with a fitted bodice, and flared from the waist down into a full, dramatic skirt. The ball gown silhouette of the dress was simply captivating. Nora's eyes lit up when she saw Anna's expression on seeing the dress. “I really do admire your taste, Anna.” "Do you think this would look great on me?” Anna asked, longingly. "Everything would look great on you, honestly. But this one would look enchanting on you!” Anna smiled sweetly at Nora. She had always been close with Dalton's younger sister. Nora adored her ever since they were kids, and Anna loved her like a true sister. “Let’s start with the modifications right

Anna Delgado stood nervously in a lavishly-decorated room. She was all alone in her long, flowy white dress; her hair in an elegant bun, with two strands framing the sides of her face. She tried to calm herself by breathing slowly. All her life, Anna has imagined her wedding day to be a joyous occasion. She'd be nervous, she had said, but her happiness would be greater. Her childhood friend, Dalton had agreed with her, joking that he would grace her wedding as her flower boy, throwing petals on unsuspecting guests, and dumping the rest of the basket on her head. They had laughed back then. But as she steadied herself alone in that room, she can't help but note that no one is laughing now. Today is her wedding day, and not a single joyful sound is heard. She fought back tears at this thought. She had pushed through with the wedding, after all. She made her decision, and she was going to stand by that. Outside, she can hear people's quick footsteps, and tense voices. But now,

Anna and Dalton sat on the head table, facing the guests. Anna tried to match Dalton's energy to avoid much drama regarding the difference of their expressions. She allows a soft smile on her lips every once in a while, but reverts back to a more serious and sombre facial expression. Her efforts proved to be effective, as the guests all thought that they were simply overwhelmed with their emotions. “They look quite cute trying to pretend to be serious," a girl commented. "Oh yes," another girl agreed. "They're trying to show us that they are taking this whole marriage seriously. Across from the two girls, Heinz Landon from the Landon Group was talking to his wife. “I told Spencer to ask Anna out ages ago," he angrily told his wife. "Now, it's all too late." "Hush, my dear," his wife tried to calm him down. "People can hear you." "Like I care," he continued. "Anna's shares would have been a great addition to our assets." Mrs. Landon awkwardly smiled at people while lea

Anna spent the next three days doing as she pleased. She roamed the entire cruise ship to her heart's content. She relaxed at the entertainment section, playing games for hours. She even sunbathed alone, a mimosa on her hand. The crew watched her curiously, but she ignored their questioning eyes. She went about on her own, with no contact from the rest of the world. Finally, on the third day, she asked the captain to stop at the nearest dock. She thanked the crew for their help and discretion. Then after packing a bag, she set out to the nearest airport. Hoping to catch the next flight back home. When she appeared at her father’s doorsteps, the whole family was so shocked, that even Dalton’s family rushed over to check on her. Three hours later, Anna sat in the family room, away from listening ears. The two families surrounding her. “Anna, what happened?” her father started. “Why are you back on your own?” Dalton’s mother quickly seconded. “Well,” Anna started. “It

Anna's eyes widened into circles when she heard that. So, she thought, she must have unknowingly agreed to move with the Guevarra family while Dalton was away. She's kind of surprised to know that their families agreed to let Dalton away for a long time. It sure doesn't seem like them at all. Or is Dalton's persuasive power really just that strong? With how they reacted, she half-expected their families to drag Dalton all the way from The Isles back home. She wondered what cards Dalton played off for them to agree with him. "It really wouldn't be a good idea for you to stay all alone in your matrimonial home without Dalton around." Dianne reasoned out. "And I really don't think Dalton would appreciate it if we don't look after his beloved wife." Chairman Guevarra added. "After all, he only answers to his wife's call," he teased Anna. "It seems like Dalton already knows how to treat his wife." Dianne playfully winked at Anna. "I raised a good son." "We indeed made the best mat
