Fiancee

"Isabel, what are you doing there!" madiin na sigaw sa akin ng kung sino. "Ninong, hindi ko po alam. Ano po ba ang nangyari?" pagtataka ko. "What? Stop acting like an innocent! Sabihin mo nga sa akin. Plano mo ba ang lahat ng 'to, Isabel!" mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko. Sa pangigigil niya kulang na lang ay mapilayan na ako. "Ninong, tama na po ang sakit po. Hindi ko po talaga alam kung bakit ito nangyari. Please, ninong tama na..." pagsusumamo ko sa kaniya. "Isabel! Wala ka na ngang kwentang anak! Ginanito mo pa ako! Alam mong fiancee ko ang ate mo! Kaya bakit ka narito sa kwarto ko!" Tila nadurog ang puso ko at ang mundo ko. Hindi ba niya naaalala ang angyari kagabi. Bakit ganito si Ninong. Ang ninong ni Isabel ay nagngangalang Ryan De Guzman, 30 years old. Isa siyang pinakamagaling at pinaka-sikat na doctor sa buong mundo. Galing siya sa mayamang pamilya. Kinakatakutan din siya ng karamihan dahil sa ugali niya ngunit hindi alam ng iba ang pagiging mapagmahal nito at masyadong obssessed. Si Isabel Cordova ay 20 years old. Galing sa pinakamayan na pamilya at isang tagapagmana. Naging single since birth dahil sa pagiging mahigpit ng ama niya. Nang mamatay ang kaniyang ina ay nagkaroon ng panibagong asawa ang kaniyang ama. Nagkaroon din siya ng ate. Matalik na magkaibigan ang ninong ni Isabel at ang ama nito. Ikakasal na rin si Ryan sa ate ni Isabel. Subalit, may isang pangyayaring naganap sa pagitan ni Isabel at Ryan na magiging dahilan ng pagbabago ng lahat. Paano nila haharapin ang pagbabago? Ito ba ay masama o magiging kabutihan?

WARNING: SSPG Ang mismong araw na nahuli kong may kinakamang iba ang fiancee ko, ay ang araw na nawala sa akin ang lahat. My grandfather and fiancé betrayed me for the same reason; my half-sister. Kaya naman nagpakalayo ako at nakontento sa isang normal na buhay. Not until I met him... the famous business tycoon, and my rival. Killian Stanislav. He's the CEO of the Thompson Enterprise's rival company. Killian offered me a deal. A contracted deal and that's to be a spy inside my grandfather's company and to be his acting lover. In exchange, ay makakamit ko ang paghihiganti na gusto kong gawin sa mga trumaydor sa akin. It's a win-to-win deal, but little did I know... na kasama pala roon ay ang pagsilbihan siya sa kama. Pero tinanggap ko pa rin, dahil alam kong wala nang mas maganda pang opportunity kesa dito. Pero mayroon kaming isang kasunduan sa kung saan, ako ang talo. During the process of our contract, kapag nabuntis ako ay ipapalaglag ko ang bata sa ayaw o sa gusto ko, dahil kung hindi—the contract will immediately get cancelled. I accepted it again, being certain na hindi ako mabubuntis. But I did. Nabuntis ako, pero ayaw kong malaman niya, natatakot akong pilitin niya akong ipalaglag ang bata—so in the end. I packed my things and left. Without telling him anything at sinakripisyo ang revenge na noong una ay gusto kong gawin kaya nakipagkasundo ako sa kaniya. Pero paano na lang kapag magkita ulit kami? Ano na lang ang mangyayari kapag nalaman niyang itinago ko ang anak niya? May tyansa pa kayang maayos ang relasyon naming dalawa? O tuluyan na itong mababaon sa limot, gaya ng nakaraan kong ayaw ko nang ungkatin pa.

On the day before the competition, someone knocked me out when I was on the street before locking me up in a cage. For three days and three nights, I was chased around by a ferocious dog that kept biting and attacking me. Because of that, my wounds began leaking pus due to infection. Later on, five rich ladies had me locked up in a room. After chaining me up like a dog, they began tormenting me out of fun. When I finally got rescued, I had suffered from countless fractures. Even my internal organs went out of place from the beatings. My older sister, Claire Bowman, whom I'd been relying on since young, had me sent to the hospital immediately. There, I received a rabies vaccine. Meanwhile, my fiancee, Heather Vega, killed the mutt right in front of me in order to help me exact vengeance. She also stripped those ladies down and put them through a humiliating parade in public. After that, she kicked them off to the slums, where they became playthings for the beggars. But as I was lying on the hospital bed, I accidentally overheard Claire and Heather's conversation. "Do you think Christopher will resent us if he ever finds out that we're the ones who've set the dog and the ladies on him just so we can make Samuel the winner of the competition in order to repay him for his benevolence?" Heather's tone was unusually icy. "Christopher's just a replacement for Samuel. This is his fault for not knowing his place and insisting on fighting over the top spot with Samuel! I'm just teaching him a lesson! "Soon, I'll marry him in order to make it up to him. Then, I'll take care of him for the rest of his life. This is already enough." I did my best to hold my tears back while feeling my heart throb in pain. It turned out that the most important women in my life were also the ones who had ruined my lifelong dream. Since they didn't care about me at all, I chose to abandon them as well.

As a dive engineer, I need to go down into the shaft to retrieve a drill bit in order to speed up construction on the 800-million-dollar construction project before Independence Day. Little do I know that I've barely made my way down the shaft when I realize I don't have enough oxygen to last the journey. Amid my panic, I completely lose my sense of direction. So, I dig out my wireless radio in an attempt to communicate with my fiancee, Viola Jenkins. But all I hear is her laughter over the radio. "Aren't you all high and mighty, Elden? I'd like to see how long you can last underwater without oxygen!" Her first love, Ron Carey, adds, "Just sit back and watch the show, Viola! He'll definitely beg you to open the manhole cover for him when the time comes!" That's when I realize Viola and Ron have allied together to kill me. Not only have they closed the manhole cover, but they've also cut off my life-saving oxygen supply. After ensuring that the manhole cover cannot be moved at all, I begin crying for help weakly into the radio. "Hurry… Open the cover for me… I'm running out of oxygen…" Viola's contemptuous voice drifts from the radio. "It's only been five minutes. Why are you playing the pity card already? This is Ron's first time in a construction site, so he's inhaling some oxygen from the canister because he's already lacking in oxygen. You can wait for a while. "If you have the time to moan about the lack of oxygen, you might as well use it to retrieve the drill bit. Stop dilly-dallying around, Elden! You seriously think I'll keep you around if you don't pull your weight around here?" With gnashed teeth, I cover 65 feet downward in the shaft. With the last bit of oxygen in my lungs, I place my hands on the drill bit that's stuck in the deepest part of the shaft that can determine whether or not the 800-million-dollar construction project will be a hit or miss. I'd like to see if Viola and Ron will be able to reap the benefits from this project just by killing me off in the shaft!

Leon Vincent, the shark of Warren Street, is the one who raised me. Twelve years ago, a fire tore through the orphanage and took everything from me. He was the one who pulled me out of the flames and gave me a second chance at life. To repay him, we make a weird deal—a 99-debt contract. I have to either obey him or be abandoned 99 times. After that, the debt will be cleared. Every time he goes on a date with some high-society socialite, he'll toss another insanely expensive piece of jewelry into my safe. In just two short years after turning 18, I've accumulated 96 diamonds in my safe, each one marking the 96 times he's cast me aside. One day, his fiancee, Elena Harrington, sends me a provocative email. "Dearest Isabelle, Leon and I are finalizing the wedding invitations. Do you think velvet with gold foil or matte leather would be more elegant? The ceremony's early next month. Can't wait to see you there! Love, Elena." Right after that, Leon calls, asking me to pack his bags for the summit in Parienne tomorrow. I simply send the wedding gift I've prepared in advance—a seven-figure emerald necklace—straight to his darling Elena without any words. That night, Leon returns to the apartment and finds out what I've done. He praises me for being considerate. Late into the night, he pulls me into his arms with rare tenderness. Nothing is left between us; no clothes, no holding back. He whispers that he wants to give me a special kind of reward, one that only I can carry. Somehow, Elena discovers my pregnancy. She stands on the balcony of Vincent Estate, screaming like her life depends on it. "Leon, I'm begging you! Don't let her have that baby! If you do, I'll jump!" The cold and proud Leon begs me, for the first time, to get rid of the baby. Everyone at the party awaits my breakdown, but I just smile softly and nod. "Alright. I will." He whispers in my ear, "Our marriage is just a business arrangement. I don't even like her. Once we're divorced, I'll give you another baby." What he fails to realize is that it was never in my plans to keep this one. There are only three more times left before I pay off this life debt from when he pulled me out of that fire all those years ago. After the 99th time, I board a ship bound for Azara to join a medical research mission. From that moment on, my life will be mine alone to live for.
