I Am Looking Respectfully

I became Mrs. Damon Sterling by accident. My sister ran. I stayed. Now I'm trapped in a contract marriage with a man who hates that I'm not her. He says I'm beneath him. A poor substitute. An obligation he's stuck with. Fine. But I'm done being invisible. If he wants me gone in twelve months, he'll have to survive me first. I'm not my sister. And I'm about to make damn sure he never forgets it.

“Huwag ka ng umasa na tatanggapin pa kita ulit. Dahil hindi ko masisikmurang magmahal ng isang tulad mong may dugong kriminal.” Si Rocky Bouchard ay isang ulila sa Canada na inampon ng mag-asawang Mary at Roen Bouchard noong sampung taong gulang pa lamang. Hindi nila alam kung sino ang tunay na magulang ni Rocky dahil wala rin naman itong maikwento sa kanila sa tuwing tinatanong nila. Kalaunan, naging legal na Bouchard si Rocky na siyang lumaki sa isang mayaman at respetadong pamilya sa Canada. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon ay isa na siyang successful na corporate lawyer. Sa hindi inaasahan, nahulog ang loob niya sa pamangkin ng kanyang foster mom na siyang nakatadhana na rin sa iba. Napagdesisyunan niyang ibaon na lamang sa limot ang nararamdaman at mag-focus sa career. Sa kabilang banda, si Cristianna Erica Rowanda ay lumaking breadwinner simula noong hindi na bumalik mula sa Canada ang OFW niyang ama. Wala na silang naging balita rito na para bang naglaho gaya ng isang bula. Dahil dito, kinailangan niyang magtrabaho para mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang pamilya niya. Sa kasamaang palad, siya ay napagbintangang magnanakaw ng pera ng kumpanya na siyang naghatid sa kanya sa rurok ng kahirapan. Wala siyang kapera-pera dahil ang araw na inaasahan niyang unang sahod niya ay nauwi sa pagkakakulong. Nang kunin ni Rocky ang kanyang kaso, nagawa niya itong ipanalo at patunayan ang kainosentehan ni Cristianna. Gayunpaman, pagkatapos ng dalawang buwan ay muli silang nagkita bitbit ang kani-kanilang problema—si Cristianna na hindi makahanap ng trabaho at si Rocky na pressured ng parents na magkaroon ng asawa. Isang kontrata. Dalawang taon. Nag-iisang krimen na akala nila ay nabaon na sa limot. Magagawa kaya nilang ipanalo ang kanilang pagmamahal kung gayong ang dugo na nananalaytay sa kanilang katawan ay siyang hahatol sa isang ipinagbabawal na pag-ibig?

Espesyal daw ang araw ng kasal dahil dito nagsisimula ang isang kwento ng walang hanggang pagmamahalan. Pero sa akin, dito natapos ang lahat. Ang araw na pinangarap kong maging pinakamasaya, naging araw ng pinakamalalim kong sugat. Isang lihim ang sumira sa lahat—ang taong dapat kong makasama habangbuhay, may ibang pinili. Hindi ko na nakita ang altar. Hindi ko na narinig ang 'oo.' Ang tanging narinig ko lang ay ang pagkabasag ng pangarap ko. At sa araw na iyon, natutunan kong ang pagmamahal ay hindi laging sapat para tapusin ang isang kwento.
