As Cold As Ice

Prologue Celine Dela Cruz never imagined na mauuwi sa ganito ang buhay niya. Sa probinsya, simple lang ang mundo niya—gising ng maaga para tumulong sa tindahan ng pamilya, makipagbiruan sa mga kapatid, at mangarap na balang araw… magkakaroon din siya ng love story na parang sa pelikula. Pero isang gabi, habang sabay-sabay silang kumakain, bumagsak ang bombang hindi niya inasahan. “Anak…” mabigat ang boses ng tatay niya. “May kasunduan tayo. Ikakasal ka.” Nag-freeze si Celine. “What? Papa, seryoso ka ba?” At doon niya narinig ang pangalan. Liam Alcantara. CEO ng Alcantara Group. Isa sa pinakamakapangyarihang tao sa Maynila. Mayaman, guwapo raw sabi sa mga balita, pero kilala ring cold at walang puso. Arranged marriage. Hindi niya choice, hindi niya gusto. Pero dahil nalulunod na sa utang ang pamilya niya, wala siyang nagawa. Sa moment na iyon, narealize niya—hindi lahat ng love story nagsisimula sa kilig. Minsan, nagsisimula ito sa kontrata. At minsan, ang taong akala mong magpapabagsak sa’yo, siya pala ang matututunan mong mahalin.
