The Courage To Be Disliked

After being reborn, I'm taken back to the day I confessed my love for my childhood friend. In my past life, I had to plead and beg before he begrudgingly agreed to marry me. "You look pathetic when you beg me for anything, Annabelle." That was what Hayden Gulman always said to me. He was so cold to me that he even canceled the part where we read our vows to each other during the wedding. When I was eight months pregnant, he took a photo of my belly covered in stretch marks. Then, he complained to his true love about the unhappiness he faced after marrying me. When I went into a difficult labor due to my agitation, he and his true love were on vacation. At that moment, my heart finally died. It turned out my one-woman show couldn't be considered love at all. Now that I've been reborn, I smile when I see the disdainful look in his eyes. I say, "We have nothing to do with each other from this moment on. I only wish to be happy."

Your life has always been a horrible mess, like happiness didn’t want you to be happy. Being caged, used and controlled was all your life could offer, and you just couldn’t stop it or escape it. But then you met him. You thought he was a different person, so even after being warned, you chose to go with him, straight into a trap you would never escape from. He was cold, blunt, and unhappy himself, so when you expected him to say, “This is your home now, do whatever you want, for I will always protect you,” disappointment slapped because he said this instead: “I own you now. You’ll be in charge of all the cooking and cleaning in this house. You are not permitted to take one step out of this mansion; making any little mistake could cost you your life. Whenever I call you, respond immediately, don’t make me call you twice; that could also cost you your life. This house must remain clean as it is right now, and at night, be on guard in this house. I don’t want to catch you sleeping, it might also cost you your life… I hope you understand.” Just then you realised, you were been owned again, not being loved. The 25th of September is always a day of agony, torment, misery, pain and anguish. It all started on the 25th of September, and just like it started… would it end? Is Felix not who you pictured him to be? Would he turn out to be a bigger mess… or not. What would happen to you now, Benita?

“Tell me, Thalia, does it hurt to be cast aside, thrown to the wolves?” I laughed harshly, “Is this what it feels like? To be nothing? To be forgotten?” “Ronan… please…” Her voice was so soft, so broken that it almost made me feel sympathy for her, but in an instant, I crushed that emotion. I couldn’t allow her tears to sway me. “Don’t you dare cry,” I spat. “Save your pathetic, fake tears.

“You're a bastard CEO! Paano mo ako nagagawang lokohin?" bulyaw ni Natasia sa lalaki. Sarkastikong ngumiti si André. “I don't love you. I just needed you, Natasia. Besides, you're still mine." Mahigit tatlong taon nang nagtatrabaho si Natasia Villa Fuentes bilang Sekretarya ni André Salvatoré; isa sa tanyag na businessman sa industriya. Tiniis niya ang pagtratrabaho sa lalaki kahit pa punong-puno ito ng yabang sa kanyang mga mata. Pero sa kasamaang palad, hindi inaasahan ni Natasia na makaka-one night stand niya ang CEO na walang kaalam-alam sa nangyari.

Para kay Ayen Ramirez, simple lang dapat ang buhay—trabaho bilang secretary sa isang malaking kompanya at isang matinong relasyon na inakala niyang pangmatagalan.

Mayaman, makapangyarihan, at kilala sa pagiging istrikto, pero may isang bagay siyang wala: isang asawa. Kailangan niya ng kasal para makuha ang mamanahin niya, at kailangan ni Ayen ng pera para sa kapatid niya. Isang pirma lang sa kontrata, at magiging Mrs. Berkeley siya. Walang love, walang intimacy... isang kasunduan lang. Pero paano kung habang tumatagal, unti-unting nagbabago ang lahat? Paano kung ang dating malamig at prangkang boss niya ay may mga tingin at hawak na hindi kasama sa usapan? At paano kung sa isang kasal na peke, isang tunay na puso ang mahulog?
