Forced Marriage

Ako si Daniel Montenegro isang kilalang Nerd na cute sa school na pinapasukan ko ngayon. Palagi ako ang target ng mga bully na sikat sa school na pinapangunahan ni Kathryn Monte Falco. Isa siyang Queen bee daw kuno at walang pwede na sumalungat sa mga gusto nito dahil para sa kanya siya ang Reyna ng mga bubuyog este ng Campus kaya kung gusto mo na maging matiwasay ang iyong buhay habang nag aaral ka pa lang ay huwag na huwag mong naisin pa na kalabanin ito. Samantala, ang aking mga papansin na magulang ay bigla na lang nalagyan ng tubig sa utak kaya naisipan nilang ipagkasundo ako na ipakasal sa she devil na ito na wala ng ginawang mabuti sa buhay ko. Makakaya ko bang makisama sa katulad nito o hihilingin ko na lang sa aking mga magulang na tanggalan na lang nila ako ng mana at ipamigay na lang sa charity ang mamanahin ko na multi billion worth of companies mula sa kanila. Kaysa ang makasama ang isang katulad nito.

Pagkalipas ng tatlong taon ay nagbalik siya, at narinig ko siyang pinag-uusapan ang tungkol sa dovorce. Wala siyang sinabi kahit na matapos niyang makuha ang aking pagkabirhen bago siya umalis. Sobrang sakit ng naramdaman ko. Hindi niya ako binigyan ng pagkakataong maging mabuting asawa para sa kanya, pero gusto niya pa rin akong hiwalayan. Hindi dahil mahal ko siya, kundi dahil inakala kong naging tapat ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay nagpakasaya kasama ang kanyang kalaguyo. Ngunit nagawa pa niyang magreklamo na parang ako ang sumakal sa kanya. Galit na galit ako. Sisiguraduhin kong mahihirapan sila ng kanyang kalaguyo na makumbinsi ako sa diborsyo. Pero bakit parang iba ang ikinikilos niya? Bakit nakakaramdam ako ng pagkasabik sa tuwing magkakadikit kami?

Brandon’s lips brushed against mine, his voice a low murmur. “Didn’t think you’d be on your knees for me so soon, sunflower.” I shoved him back, breath unsteady. “This isn’t a game.” But it was.

Brandon was insufferable. Arrogant. And worst of all… he was enjoying every second of this. Cameron was straight. He hated him. Or was he?

No one thought that just one night could change anyone’s life. But for Alyssa, all it took was an encounter and a fight with a stranger. She found herself marrying the richest man, the Ceo of the biggest company, Andrew Michael Ford. The contract was about her marrying Andrew and he will give her 2 billion. Now after a month of marriage, he wanted a baby too. Many secrets were revealed and one after another many problems were faced by them. ............ A loud scraping of chair stopped him as the next second someone sat beside me. I looked to see Andrew in a suit with his hair gelled back. Now, from where did he come? Dropped from the sky or what. How come he always ends up meeting me everywhere. "Hi, babe." My eyes widened as Liam looked at me questioningly. "Who is he?" Andrew asked and I don't know what to say, I was too shocked. "Umm...Andrew this is my best friend, Liam, and Liam he is...uh, a friend." I said awkwardly.

'Yong feeling na ipinagkasundo ka na palang ipakasal sa taong kinamumuhian mo. Sa isang taong makita mo pa lang ang mukha umiinit na ang ulo mo. 'Yong taong hindi mo makasundo. Ni sa hinagap 'di mo man lang pinangarap na makasama habambuhay. Lust or love at first sight? 'Yong feeling na makakita ka ng isang Adonis na nakatapis lamang ng tuwalya sa ibabang parte ng katawan nito. Sa 'di mo inaasahan na lugar at pagkakataon. 'Yong tipong tumakas ka sa kanilang lahat pero napadpad ka naman sa isang lugar na mas ikakapahamak mo. Magpapadilim ng kapalaran mo. Lugar kung saan naisuko mo ang pinakaiingatan mo. Sa lalaking 'di mo lubos kilala ang pagkatao at ayaw mo. Sa isang lalaking hinusgahan kaagad ang pagkatao mo. Ano ang gagawin mo kung sa paglipas ng mga araw na nakakasama mo s'ya sa iisang bubong ay unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob mo sa kanya? At pa'no kung kailan hulog na hulog ka na. Ibinigay mo na ang lahat na meron ka sa kanya. Wala ka nang tinira pa para sa sarili mo. Saka naman isa-isang nagsipagsulputan ang mga babae n'ya. Tatanggapin mo ba ang pagsusumamo n'ya sa'yo? Mga pangakong magbabago s'ya para sayo? Maniniwala ka bang magbabago ang isang certified playboy dahil sayo? Ano ang gagawin mo kung isang araw malalaman mong nakabuntis ng ibang babae ang lalaking mahal na mahal mo na? Ang lalaking inakala mong s'ya na ang "THE ONE" mo. Mapapatawad mo pa ba s'ya or tatakas kang muli?

I knew the exact moment when everything changed. It was the day in March, the same one I got assaulted by my boss, lost my job, saved my pregnant sister from committing suicide, and as if it wasn’t enough… it was the day Kieran King walked into my life. I hated Kieran from the moment I laid my eyes on him for the first time. He was an arrogant bastard that turned my life upside down, and no matter how much I despised him, I also could not live without him. He blackmailed me, used me, he was cruel and rough, and I wanted nothing more than to get away… but he also saved my life and protected me when I needed it the most. Now I don’t know if I can leave anymore. My name is Sophia Howard and this is my story.
