The Center Cannot Hold

"When you turn twenty-four, you will carry my first born. Mark my word, Ms. Gwyneth Clair Elizabeth Louise Garcia-Abernathy." Ito ang linya ni Ace Caleb Sansmith—ang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng Sansmith Innovation which caused Gwy na maging conservative sa kaniyang fashion choices just to avoid his obsession with her. Ang buong akala niya, madi-distract ito sa nerdy attire niya ngunit mas lalo pa nitong pinakita sa kaniya na disidido pa itong tuparin ang minarkahang linya. Okay lang sana kung sinabi nito na gagawin siyang asawa, papakasalan, baka kiligin pa siya ngunit pinaparamdam lang nito sa kaniya na isa lamang siyang babaeng target nito upang aánákan. At talagang pinaramdam sa kaniya ni Ace na gagawin nito ang lahat, maging ina lamang siya ng maging anak nito, at dahil sobrang ayaw niya, gagawin rin niya ang lahat upang maiwasan ito. Sino kaya sa kanila ang magwawagi? Gaano ba katigas ang isang Gwyneth Clair Elizabeth Louise Garcia-Abernathy, upang hindi lalambot sa karisma ng isang Ace Caleb Sansmith?
