Defining Music

"Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I've been saying!" Mikan said, annoyed. "Why do you still refuse to break up with that Jiro? What does he have?" "M, it's normal for lovers to have disagreements," I replied calmly. "K, he's always the one causing issues. Aren't you tired of it?" Selena asked me. I shook my head. "I understand him, girls. Sometimes I'm moody too. Maybe his temper just flared up at the wrong time." I've been defending Jiro to them since we started dating in my second year of high school, and now we're in our fourth year of college. We had another argument recently, and I've been apologizing to him since the other day, even though I didn't know what I did wrong. But he hasn't been answering any of my texts or calls. So tonight, even though I didn't want to go with them to the Spade Club, I had no choice because they dragged me along. I just hope Jiro doesn't find out about this because he doesn't like it when I go clubbing without him. It might make him even angrier. "I think there's nothing we can do about Kylie. She's head over heels for Jiro," Ariana said. Ariana isn't this quiet usually when she's drunk. They all laughed while I forced a smile. Go ahead, laugh at me, but when you fall in love, I'll be rolling on the floor laughing. "Alright, cheers to Kylie's love madness," Mikan raised her shot glass, and A and S followed suit, while I watched them. I just sighed. "Hey! K, don't be a killjoy. Come on, raise your shot glass!" Selena shouted at me because the music was loud in the Spade Club. It was already ten in the evening.

Alessandra “Aly” Reyes lives for freedom. Party nights, loud music, endless drinks, and reckless adventures with her friends iyon ang mundo niya. Hindi siya naniniwala sa seryosong commitment. Para sa kanya, ang buhay ay para i-enjoy habang bata pa. Until one reckless night changes everything. Isang exclusive pool party ang inattendan nila ng barkada niya isang party na puno ng mayayaman, celebrities, at mga taong hindi basta-basta naaabot ng ordinaryong tao. Ayaw niyang maging killjoy kaya tinanggap niya lahat ng challenges. Shots after shots. Dares. Wild dancing. Until everything went black. At paggising niya… She finds herself inside a luxurious penthouse suite, wearing a diamond wedding ring. Kasama ang lalaking kinatatakutan ng buong siyudad. Damon Mondragon. A billionaire. A mafia king. A man powerful enough to make politicians kneel and criminals disappear overnight. At higit sa lahat… Her husband. Hindi maalala ni Aly kung paano nangyari ang kasal. Kung bakit may pirma siya sa marriage contract. O bakit nanginginig sa takot ang pamilya niya nang makita ang apelyidong “Mondragon” sa marriage certificate. Dahil kilala ng lahat si Damon Mondragon. At alam ng buong mundo na walang sinumang basta nakakatakas sa kanya. Pero isang bagay ang malinaw Hindi aksidente ang lahat. At si Damon Mondragon ay hindi isang lalaking nagkakamali. Cold. Possessive. Dangerous. Simula nang makita siya nito sa party, may nabuo nang obsession sa isip ng mafia king. At ngayong kasal na sila, wala na siyang balak pakawalan pa si Aly. Gusto man niyang tumakas… Paano ka tatakas sa lalaking kayang kontrolin ang buong mundo? Lalo na kung habang tumatagal… Unti-unti ka ring nahuhulog sa lalaking dapat niyang katakutan.
