Until There Was You

MOVING ON was never an easy task. It is easy to say but hard to do. In that moment that the person you love leave you, parang sumama ang puso mo sa kanya. Time heals on all wounds, Ika nga nila, pero sapat na ba ang panahon para maghilom ang lahat? Aakalain mong okay ka na, na masaya ka na, na you're completely over that person. But what if that person comes back, not because he wants you back pero dahil sapilitan kayong ipinakakasal? Are you willing to marry your ex-boyfriend? Written by: @KayeEinstein

"How much do you want?" Pagkakuwa'y saad ko. Kay bilis niyang napalingon sa akin muli ay masama niya akong tinignan. "Hindi ako mukhang pera!" I scoffed again. "Hindi nga ba? E, anong pinunta mo rito? 'Di ba sabi mo hindi ka papayag na 'di ko panagutan ang virginity mo? Kung ayaw mo ng pera what the hell are you here for? Nag-iskandalo ka pa talaga." Napangisi ako ng magkaroon ng idea. Puno ng panghuhusga ko siyang tinitigan. "Oh, don't tell me you want me to marry you instead because I was your first?" Nakita ko ang guilt sa mga mata niya. Hindi siya muling nakapagsalita. "And you thought just because nakuha ko virginity mo I am oblige to marry you? Oo nga naman! Kung pakakasalan kita mas malaki nga makukuha mo dala dala mo pa ang apelyido kong Montefalco." Bahagya akong natawa sa isipin. "You're just hallucinating Ms. Suarez! You're not even an inch to the woman I love."

But why does her cheap antics get inside his nerves? At tila ba hinahamon nito ang katatagan niya bilang lalaki... "I guarantee, you'll fall for me, My dear husband." Aiah leaned over his table, deliberately showing the generous view of her cleavage. There's a playful smirk etched on her lips. "Wala pang lalaking tumanggi sa akin." "Then I'll be the first," tugon ni Rodrigo, unbothered, drift his focus back on the piles of papers. "Try harder, My Aiah, then maybe there's a slim chance that I'll fall for you."

“W-Why are you here? I already did what you wanted, didn’t I? I thought we had a deal?” Nina’s voice trembled as she blinked in disbelief. “I don’t negotiate, darling. You don’t get to decide what I do to you.” Hades smirked, his tone laced with amusement at her confusion and fear. “I’m not playing games with you, Hades! Please, just leave my house!” “Too bad. I can’t.” His smile darkened. “Now, are you going to be a good girl, or keep pretending to be feisty?” “Get out! Now!” Nina tried to slam the door, but Hades shoved it open, forcing his way inside. “No! Let me go! You’re hurting me!” He dragged her into the living room as she struggled to free herself from his tight grip. Her wrists burned under his hold. Then, with brutal force, he threw her onto the couch—hard enough that she stumbled and lost her balance. Hades stepped closer, his shadow swallowing the light between them. “Now… strip,” he said darkly. “I'm going to fuck you till you can't walk” Author’s Note: My first attempt at bringing a story to life.
