Rude

The cold breeze blew past me and I shivered as goosebumps began to grow on my skin. I didn't know what time it was, but I knew it was too late. Too late to turn back, too late to go back to the hospital... Too late to go back to him...... ***************** Come here!" I jerked up abruptly at the sound of my fathers voice. With a shaking body, I made my way slowly to him, praying to God to save me. "D-daddy, please, I'm weak, see my body is shaking. I'm very tired, please daddy..." A loud slap landed on my face making me fall to the ground. "Did I ask you to talk? Worthless child, just like your mother. I should have thrown you out or killed you a long time ago." He shouted at my almost unconscious body on the floor. .............. Elizabeth has been molested times without number by her own father at a young age. And when it's time to get married, she finds it hard to trust men.

"Sarili kong ina, karibal ko." Nang makilala ni Anika si Daryl, hindi napigilan ng dalaga ang humanga sa guwapo pero arogante at dominanteng binata—the sexiest and youngest son of the Altagrasia family. Hindi rin maikakaila na attracted ito sa kaniya. Subalit may problema. Si Daryl Altagrasia ay ang anak ng lalaking pinakasalan ng mommy niya. In short, he's her stepbrother. Buong akala niya, iyon lang ang magiging hadlang sa pagtingin niya para dito, pero isang sikreto ang natuklasan niya na gumimbal sa kaniyang sistema. Daryl is the secret lover of her mother.

Before anything else could happen, I stood up from squatting in front of him and walked toward my work table. My hands were shaking, but I tried not to show it. "Now you have time to listen to my proposal," I said firmly, trying to sound confident even though my heart was racing. I picked up the document I had placed there earlier—a simple sheet of paper, but one that could change everything. I held it up for him to see. Yes, kidnapping him had been desperate. But what I was about to offer? Even more so. "You just have to sign this marriage contract," I told him. "If we get married, I can claim my inheritance, solve my problem, and then we’ll let you go." He raised an eyebrow, amused. “And what’s in it for me? I don’t gain anything here. Why should I let you manipulate my life like that?” I clenched my fists. "You’re my hostage! Your freedom depends on me. You have no choice but to do what I say!" I snapped, voice rising with frustration. As soon as I said it, regret washed over me. I sounded like a child throwing a tantrum, and I saw it in his eyes—disappointment. Disgust. “I already have a fiancée, Kourtney. We’re getting married soon. I can’t marry you,” he said with finality. Of course I knew. I knew everything about him. I kept tabs on his life not because I wanted to, but because I had to. “I love her,” he continued. “And if I ever get married, it’s going to be with the woman I love. That’s Kim.” I bit my lower lip to stop the trembling. I was humiliated… but worse, I was heartbroken.

"Zack, tatlong taon na tayong kasal, at ni minsan ay hindi mo pa ako sinipingan. A-ayoko na, Zack, hindi ko na kaya pa, kaya naman sumusuko na ako sa pagsasama nating ito para maging masaya ka na kasama ang tunay mong minamahal. H-hindi ba't ito naman ang gusto mo? Ang makalaya sa kasal na ito?" Garalgal at may halong pait na tanong ni Rhian. "Pagkatapos ng gabing ito, hanapin mo na siya at puntahan. Ngunit sa ngayon, isipin mo na lang na kabayaran ito sa pagmamahal na inilaan ko sa iyo sa loob ng nakaraang mga taon..."
