Shall We Date Kikyo

A contract is desperately needed for the company to close the deal on a project, so I head over to the administrative department to lodge a request for printing paper. However, the administrative employee, Lydia Reed, slaps on an arrogant expression. "In order to prevent bottom feeders like you from taking advantage of the company by stealing the company's resources, the company's rulebook has already stated that you must bring your own paper to work!" I just point at the pile of boxes containing A4 paper behind Lydia before asking coldly, "Then who are those resources meant for?" Lydia rolls her eyes at me. "Well, they are meant for people who truly are worthy of this company's resources, duh! "You're just a meager project manager who keeps asking for money without making any contributions at all, so you can forget about getting your hands on anything that belongs to the company!" I nod in return. After leaving the department, I dial a number. "I'm sorry, Mr. Cross. It seems that we shall not be participating in the 200-million-dollar bid after all."

I'd spent an entire year preparing for my son Tristan Pascall's spot at a top international school. By the final admissions review, I had every single document ready. All that was missing was the original copy of Richard Pascall and my marriage certificate. Once we handed that in, it would be official. But when we got to the admissions office, Richard turned on me, accusing me of arranging this without telling him. Before I could clap back, the admin frowned and said, "Ma'am, according to the system, Mr. Pascall's spouse isn't you." My whole body went cold. And then Iris Poole—who had been standing behind Richard this whole time—stepped up and slid her marriage certificate across the counter. The staff checked it, nodded, and said, "Mr. Pascall, Ms. Poole, your registration date is June, four years ago. Everything looks fine. You may proceed." June, four years ago. That was the exact month Richard held my hand in front of all our friends and family at our engagement party and promised I was his one true love. He had lied to me about that for the past seven years.

[WARNING: SPG] Gwapo, playboy at malakas ang appeal. Iilan lang iyan sa mga katangian ng bilyonaryong si Kian Fuentavilla kaya napakaraming babaeng nagkakadarapa sa kanya—maliban kay Jhymea Madrigal. Isang dalagang manang kung manamit at madalas pang napagkakamalang lola at mambabarang. Panget si Jhymea, at aminado naman siya roon, pero para sa kanya ay may karapatan pa rin naman siyang mamili kaya inayawan niya si Kian na kahit mala-Adonis na ang datingan ay ubod naman ng yabang. Unang pagkikita pa lang ng dalawa ay nagkairingan na sila. Labis na dinibdib ni Jhymea na tinawag siyang ‘janitress’ at ‘ipis’ ng binata at ganun din si Kian sa kanya nang mapunit ang pwètan ng slacks nito dahil sa dalaga. Halos isumpa nila ang isa't isa hanggang napagdesisyunan ng kapatid ni Kian na si Nexie Fuentavilla na mag one-night stand silang dalawa. Kapalit nun ay ang impormasyong hinihingi ni Kian tungkol sa ex niyang si Tanya, at pera naman para kay Jhymea para mapauwi na niya sa bansa ang ina niyang OFW na kay tagal niyang ‘di nakasama. Dahil sa pagiging maloko ni Kian ay pinalabas niyang nabutas ang còndom na ginamit niya sa pakikipagtalik sa dalaga. Ilang linggo iyong iniyakan ni Jhymea kasi ang buong akala niya ay hindi na siya makaka-graduate, ngunit nahuli niya ang binata nung minsan ay may kausap ito sa telepono at inamin nito ang lahat. Doon ay naisip na gumanti ni Jhymea at pinalabas na totoong nabuntis nga siya ng binata. Nakarating ang tsismis na yun sa ina ni Kian na si Mrs. Anita Fuentavilla. Nagkukumahog na nagpaliwanag ang dalawa na hindi totoo ang lahat pero huli na kasi nagawan na sila ng kontrata ng ginang sa nalalapit nilang kasal. Matakasan kaya nila ang kapalarang nagsimula sa isang laro lamang? O mauuwi na ang lahat sa totoong pag-iibigan?

Lumaki si Calista Althea Chiu sa isang makapangyarihan ngunit istriktong Chinese family—kung saan ang tradisyon ay batas at ang babae ay kailangang sumunod, kahit masaktan. Mayaman ang pamilyang kinalakihan niya, ngunit sa likod ng karangyaan, isa siyang bihag ng sariling kapalaran. Sa tatlong magkakapatid, siya ang nag-iisang babae at middle child—tahimik, masunurin, at laging isinasantabi ang sariling damdamin. Ngunit isang gabi, tuluyang nagbago ang lahat. Dahil sa desperadong pangangailangan ng pera ng kanyang kuya at sa malaking pagkakautang ng kanilang pamilya sa makapangyarihang Wang family, isang lihim na kasunduan ang isinagawa. Isang desisyong hindi niya kailanman pinili. Ibinenta si Calista bilang isang “regalo” sa kaarawan ng lalaking minsan na niyang nakita sa Shanghai—ang malamig at misteryosong billionaire heir ng Monaco, si Marcus Romanov. Para kay Marcus, ang lahat ay transaksyon. Ngunit kahit pilitin niyang limutin, hindi niya maalis sa isip ang gabing pinagsaluhan nila. Para kay Calista, iyon ang gabing ninakaw ang kanyang kinabukasan. Hindi nila namamalayan, unti-unti silang nahuhulog sa isa’t isa—isang damdaming isinilang sa gitna ng kapangyarihan, katahimikan, at mga lihim na pilit itinatago. Ngunit may isang lalaking hindi handang bumitaw. Si Lixin Wang, ang mayamang Chinese heir at lalaking itinakdang pakasalan si Calista, ay handang ipaglaban ang paniniwalang pag-aari niya ito—kahit sa pamamagitan ng takot at kapangyarihan. Sa pagitan ng tradisyon at pag-ibig, obligasyon at kalayaan, kailangang pumili ni Calista: manatiling babaeng isinuko ng pamilya, o labanan ang kapalarang ipinataw sa kanya—kahit pa kapalit nito ang kanyang puso.
