Diego Go Diego

Matagal nang pinapangarap ni Aerial si Diego. Nang magkaroon siya ng pagkakataong makalapit dito, naganap ang isang gabing puno ng kalasingan na nagbunga ng isang batang babae, na nagbigay-daan kay Aerial upang matupad ang kanyang pangarap na maging asawa ni Diego Natividad. Sa kabila ng katuwang na pangarap, nagdulot din ito ng galit at pagkamuhi ni Diego sa kanya, dahil pinakasalan lamang siya nito dahil sa kanyang dinadala. Napagkasunduan nilang ipawalang-bisa ang kanilang kasal matapos niyang ipanganak ang kanilang anak. Sa loob ng siyam na buwan ng kanilang pagsasama bilang mag-asawa, unti-unti niyang naramdaman na walang patutunguhan ang kanyang pagmamahal, lalo pa’t patuloy na malamig si Diego sa kanya. Nang muling banggitin ni Diego ang paghihiwalay, agad siyang pumayag. Wala na siyang maaasahan at nais na niyang muling buuin ang sarili na matagal na niyang tinalikuran para sa pagmamahal kay Diego. Kailangan na niyang lumayo upang tuluyang makalimot sa sakit na dulot nito. Ngunit sa oras na handa na siyang magbago at kalimutan ang lahat, si Diego ayaw na siyang pakawalan.

Three years after our breakup, I ran into my ex-girlfriend, and she had her new boyfriend by her side. "Hey, isn't that Henry the expert?" Diego Stanley taunted with a smirk. "Three years post-breakup, and you're slumming it here playing with clay?" I furrowed my brow, ignored them, and carefully moved the Victorian-era porcelain musician figurine onto its preset base in the display case. When I wasn't biting, he reached out to grab the figurine from my arms. "What's this junk you're treating like gold? Let me take a look." Cynthia Wyatt frowned, her voice laced with that familiar arrogance. "Henry, I've given you three years to shape up, and you're still the same loser? Come on, hand over that clay doll to Diego. Don't kill the vibe. If you play nice, I might even reconsider our old engagement." As Diego's hand neared the figurine, I dodged quickly and barked, "Hands off! It's a historical artifact!" Diego got pissed off and shoved me hard. "Some flea market find, and you're acting all high and mighty?" In the ensuing scuffle, I lost my balance, and the figurine slipped from my grasp, crashing to the floor. That sealed their fate. This entitled pair was about to go bankrupt trying to fix it.

Selama lima tahun pernikahan, Diego selalu mempertahankan citra sebagai suami penyayang yang tak tergoyahkan. Sebagai pewaris Keluarga Luis, dia dengan disiplin mematuhi jam malam dan selalu pulang tepat waktu. Setiap hari dia sendiri yang menyetir mengantarku ke kantor, dan setiap hari raya dia bersusah payah menyiapkan hadiah. Instagram dan Twitter, semuanya dipenuhi keseharian dia memanjakan istrinya. Para netizen bercanda menyebutnya sudah stadium akhir "maniak cinta", sementara para penggemar pasangan menggilai pasangan kami mati-matian. Akan tetapi, akun WhatsApp-nya masih login di tablet, dan seorang perempuan mengiriminya sebuah video. Dalam video itu, si perempuan bercosplay sebagai polisi kelinci, tatapannya sayu dan menggoda. Sambil berlutut dengan kedua kaki terbuka, kedua tangannya sedang membuka kancing di dada, seolah tidak sabar memperlihatkan kulitnya yang putih mulus. [Kelinci kecil sangat merindukan Kak Diego, mau ciuman dari Kak Diego!] Suara perempuan itu manis dan menggoda, dengan nada sedikit manja. Awalnya aku tidak menganggapnya serius. Wajar saja kalau ada yang menyukai Diego, siapa sih yang tidak punya beberapa pengejar? Selama ini dia memberiku rasa aman yang cukup. Tepat saat kupikir ini hanya godaan sepihak lagi, Diego membalasnya: [Besok, seharian penuh kamu jangan harap bisa turun dari tempat tidur.] ...

“Will you give me your life in exchange for your father's?” He whispered in my ears, as he traced down my face, to the skin on my neck, with the cold edge of his gun. “No… Irene, don't…,” my father begged faintly from where he lay, straining against the grip of Diego’s men. "Yes,” I blurted out, a tremor in my voice. “If that's what it takes, then… Take me!” I surrendered, closing my eyes. *** How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Would you trade your soul to the devil to save theirs? Well, I did. I, Irene Herrera, offered myself to the Mafia Devil, Diego Vargas, in exchange for my father's life. I became his captive bride. He put me through hell, yet… I refused to break. I played his game, but I made my own rules, breaking his. I challenged him at every chance, defying the Almighty Diego. He was captivated by my rebellious spirit. As we drew closer, I started to see the man behind the mask, he was hurt, lonely, and haunted by the ghost of his lost love. I was drawn to his broken heart. Soon, the lines between captor and captive blurred for us, as we lost ourselves in a flaming love affair. But what happens when I learn that my long lost sister was Diego’s ex-lover, involved in a plot to destroy him? This conspiracy arises again and Diego’s life is threatened. I face a choice to either seize this chance to escape, and leave him to die, or stay and protect the man I now love, even if it could cost me my life. Whatever choice I make, Love or survival, am I justified? What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Sienna Lewis had been with Sea City’s cold and distant CEO, Zayden Scott, for four years, but he still refused to let his guard down. So, she called her mother. “Mom, you can go ahead and arrange that pilot interview for me now.” On the other end, Helen Bennett sounded shocked. “Really? Didn’t you want to stay in Sea City and get married? You even gave up your dream of becoming a pilot.” Sienna looked at Zayden under the dim lights. He was madly obsessed with that girl and terrified of losing her. She smiled self-deprecatingly. Once she returned to Helmswick, her career would pick up again. From then on, nothing would hold her back. She would be Sienna Lewis, the pilot, again, not some pathetic woman—trapped in a forbidden love affair.

Diego strolled into his apartment, his heels clinking softly against the marble floor. He tossed his blonde wig on the couch, and his soft fingers propelled forward to count the dollar bills in his hands. “You're out crossdressing again?” His uncle, Roberto, a tall imposing figure with gray streaks on his hair walked into the room. “I might just have the perfect job for you,” Roberto chuckled softly and tossed a gun at Diego. “What?!” Diego's breath hitched in his throat as he swallowed the weight of the mission his uncle proposed. Cross dressing was one thing that Diego did with ease. There was no way he could do what his uncle requested; assassinating the infamous mafia lord of the Rocco empire. He stood in front of a mirror, holding the gun that Roberto had handed to him. There was no way that this soft and delicate hand could pull a trigger. Diego didn't expect that the mafia lord he was set up against was going to be a man who'll make his heart flutter. He tried to resist, bracing himself to complete his mission. But things only got heated when he found himself “entangled in the rival's hold.”

Diego llegó tarde a nuestra boda. Cuando finalmente apareció, entró al salón tomando del brazo de Liliana con delicadeza. Traía puesto el traje de padrino, mientras que el de novio había sido abandonado en el sofá como si fuera un trapo viejo. —Diego, ¿por qué te pusiste...? —comencé a preguntar. —¡Inés! —me interrumpió bruscamente, con la mirada alerta—. Piensa bien lo que vas a decir. Sé generosa, y no me hagas odiarte. Sonreí, decepcionada. Como Liliana Martínez, su primer amor, había perdido la memoria, habíamos quedado atrapados en el juego de ayudarla a recuperarse. Teníamos que esconderle todo lo malo y tratarla con cuidado, evitando cualquier cosa que pudiera alterarla. Diego se acercó a mí y me abrazó con ternura. —Inés, ¿puedes entenderme? —me susurró al oído, antes de darme un beso ligero. Obedecí, le agarré la mano al padrino y caminé hacia el altar del matrimonio junto a él. El otro día, me encontré a Diego en un centro comercial mientras yo compraba cosas para nuestro bebé que iba a nacer. Me detuvo, y sus ojos, enrojecidos, se clavaron en mi vientre: —Inés... Todo esto era una farsa, ¿no? ¿Por qué estás embarazada?
