Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

I'd been "married" to Zachary for two years—until I tried applying for a loan and the bank's system flagged someone else as his legal wife. Our wedding? Just a private show. The real marriage license had his name next to hers. So yeah. I wasn't the wife. I was the other woman. Crushed, I went home—only to hear Zachary talking to his friend, Ethan, by the door. "Man, watching you stress is exhausting," Ethan said. "You clearly love Sierra. So why marry Cathryn?" Zachary looked torn. "At first, she was just a stand-in. But when she left, I couldn't stop thinking about her. So I brought her back—as my assistant." He paused, then muttered, "I can't live without Sierra. But I can't let go of Cathryn either. So I gave Sierra my love in public and kept Cathryn hidden with the title. That's fair, right?" I stood frozen, heart splitting open. He loved us both. Me—his childhood sweetheart. Her—the hidden wife. I thought I was the one. Turns out, I was just the game. He didn't break my heart. He shattered my whole world. But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I walked away. And started planning two things.

"You're mine, Celestine. No one could ever have you other than me, remember that. You're already married to me. That means you're forever stuck to the man you called a devil. You're forever stuck in the devil's arms, Celestine. With no other way out, but death." *** Holy Celestine Marquez is the epitome of beauty, kindness, and brain. She was dubbed to be an angel in her university, not just because of her face, but because of her attitude. Kahit yata lamok ay hindi nito kayang patayin. Even her father thought that she's too innocent for this world, kaya naman nang sabihin ni Holy na gusto niyang maging madre pagkatapos niyang mag-kolehiyo ay hindi na siya pinigilan pa ng kaniyang Ama. Eros Hunter Salvatore is a devil himself. A successful billionaire na talagang hinahabol ng mga kababaihan. Not only that, he's also a know drag racer na siyang dahilan kung bakit mas lalong humahaba ang pila sa kaniya. Pero wala ni-isang babae ang nakalapit sa kaniya ng sobra lalo na at napaka-ikli lang pasensiya niya at madalas ay parang bulkang nag-aalburoto. Well, he wouldn't be called a devil for nothing. Paano kung mag-tagpo ang landas ng dalawang taong parehong magka-ibang magka-iba nang hindi nila inaakalang pareho? Paano kung mapilitan si Holy na pumirma ng isang kontrata na inilahad ni Eros upang mabayaran ang pagkaka-utang ng kaniyang kapatid rito? Mapipigilan pa kaya ni Eros si Holy sa pagpasok nito sa kumbento? Will it be possible for love to grow? Paano kung... isang malaking kasinungalingan lang pala ang lahat? Kakayanin kaya ni Holy ang mga sekretong malalaman niya? Love, betrayal, and a broken heart. Those are just one of the things that you'll experience once you fall in love. Are you still willing to be stuck in the devil's... arms?

In life, you don't know if you're always on top. Hindi mo alam kung kailan ka mananalo o matatalo-kung kailan ka paglalaruan ng tadhana. Destiny is our greatest enemy. Parang lahat kasi ng mangyayari sa buhay natin, nakatadha na-at wala kang magagawa kundi tanggapin ito. I have always been on top. All the people I know are proud of me-look up at me because I am good at everything. Pero tama nga silang hindi ka laging nasa taas. Sino bang mag-aakala na isang beses lang akong babagsak pero sobra iyon? Sobra-sobrang nahatak ako sa baba ng malaking trahedya sa buhay ko at hindi ko alam kung paano ako aahon. Mabuti na lang, bumalik siya. Siya ulit. Siya lang ang nag-iisang taong nagmamahal sa akin nang lubos kahit iniwan ko. It's always him. Walang iba.
