“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!” The moment I closed my eyes for that first kiss, I suddenly remembered how I fantasized about marrying Lucas Sandoval. I recalled when I aimed to have a complete and a happy family and how willing I am to spend a lifetime with him. I felt a tear fell from my eyes as I felt his lips against mine, as I have realized that I just rather want to die right now in front of everyone than to live with him. Before, I was dying just to be with him. Now, I am literally dying for being with him. I dreamt about walking down the aisle to be with my love. Now, I just want to run away from him and never come back. I once prayed to be part of his life. Now I am— his battered wife.

She said and she looked at him. He's lips curved with cocky smile. "You already know him? Great! How did you know him?" His father, Thomas Andrada asked. "I met him with some sluts stories on how he fuck different women." She said while looking at him. Well she can not blame the girls for having a crush or infatuation over him. He's hot, handsome, billionare with his own money, and based on stories he's good in bed. The thing is he's ruthless and possesive when it comes to women. "I see that's how you met me." He said in a flirty way. It's like he's proud of himself. Aurelia just rolled her eyes and stared at her father again her eyes asking to go home. "No, we need to finish the food. Besides what's the rush? We're not on rush." Her father said with a firm tone. "And we will talk about your wedding for next week." Her mother said proudly. Her eyes widened. "Next week!?!" She said with a high tone. Hell this can't be real. She's getting married next week!

Isang gabi, nahuli ni Shuvee ang asawang si Azrael sa banyo habang binabanggit ang pangalan ng ibang babae. Sa loob ng five years of marriage, ngayon lang luminaw ang lahat na hindi siya ang mahal nito. "Shuvee, Scarlett is pitiful coming back alone. I'm just helping her as a friend," paliwanag ni Azrael habang nag-eempake para sa kabilang kwarto. "I understand," tipid na sagot ni Shuvee. Maging ang birthday ni Scarlett sa isang private island ay pinuntahan nito. "I promised her, Shuvee. I'm just fulfilling a promise," giit ni Azrael. "Okay," sagot niya muli. Kahit nang sabihin nitong mas "suitable" si Scarlett bilang assistant sa isang banquet kaysa sa kanya, tumango lang siya. "Okay, go ahead." Nang tuluyan nang tumigil si Shuvee sa pag-iyak at paggawa ng eksena, naguluhan si Azrael. "Shuvee, why aren't you angry anymore?" tanong nito. Hindi na siya galit dahil tapos na siya. Secretly, she studied English, passed the IELTS, and secured her student visa. Noong araw na lumabas ang approval, nilapag niya ang divorce papers. "Don't be ridiculous. How will you survive without me?" Azrael sneered. She didn't answer. She flew to Europe and vanished. Months later, a video went viral where Shuvee, in a stunning red dress, dancing freely under a foreign sky. Nanggigil si Azrael habang pinapanood ang ex-wife. "Shuvee, I will bring you back even if I have to go to the ends of the earth!"
