Caring For Myself Is Not Self Indulgence

Nang i-announce ng kanilang Lola Flordelisa, na ang unang maikakasal sa magpinsang Tahlia at Xamara ay magmamana ng sampung bilyong piso, nagbago ang takbo ng kanilang buhay. For Tahlia, this was supposed to be the perfect timing to marry her long-time boyfriend, Axton. Kaya lang ay isang trahedya ang dumurog sa kanilang mga pangarap. Nabaldado na si Axton sa nangyaring aksidente at hindi na nila matutuloy ang kasal. Dahil sa inis ng Mama at Papa ni Tahlia na naging alanganin ang pagkuha sa reward na sampung bilyong piso, pinilit siyang humanap ng ibang lalaking mapapangasawa bago pa maunahan ni Xamara. It was at that moment that she met Zain—a drunk man, heartbroken and whose world was falling apart because of his mother, who urgently needed heart surgery. Sa isang iglap, nagkaroon ng solusyon ang problema nila pareho. Tahlia needed to secure the ten billion pesos, while Zain needed millions to save his mother’s life. At dahil guwapo si Zain, inalok siya ni Tahlia na babayaran ng milyon-milyong piso para maging groom sa kasal niya. Pumayag kaya si Zain? Kung oo, is it possible that Tahlia and Zain’s act as a married couple could turn into something real, or will Tahlia remain loyal to her paralyzed boyfriend, Axton?

I watched her, noticing how much she resembled my older brother, and I was shaking with rage. They pulled out my fingernails, broke my ribs, and slashed my face, dragging me around the neighborhood as I begged for mercy. Yet, they remained indifferent to my pleas. Just as I was on the verge of losing hope, my brother, Edward Grange rushed over.  Through a mouthful of blood, I managed to choke out, "Ed, I’d rather die than let her inherit my inheritance…”
