Wheelchair Jokes

Wanted: Mayaman, matulungin, at mamamatay na... sana. Joke lang ‘yon ng kaibigan—pero ang ending? Natagpuan ni Jenica ang sarili sa harap ng pinakamayamang lalaki sa siyudad: si Alexander Fuego, nasa wheelchair, naghihingalo, at nag-alok ng kasal na parang promo lang sa mall: "Marry me now, and inherit everything when I die." Siyempre, sino ba naman ang tatanggi sa instant yaman? Pero may problema: Hindi ito namatay. Ilang taon na ang lumipas, buhay pa rin si Alexander Fuego—fresh na fresh, at parang si kamatayan pa ang natigok sa halip na ang lalaki. Kaya tumakas si Jenica, dala ang sikreto: buntis siya sa tagapagmana ng Fuego Empire! Fast forward, balik bansa si Jenica. Mayaman na rin. Confident. Glamorous. Pero—wait lang. Si Alex? Gumaling na, mas hot pa, at may fiancé? Excuuuse me? Buhay pa siya, pero may balak na itong magpakasal sa iba? Game na. Pupunta si Jenica sa engagement party. Hindi para bawiin si Alex. Hindi para manira. Okay fine... maybe a little.

Warning (R18) SPG Novel... Akala ni Ranzzel Layaoen, ang pinakamalaking dagok sa buhay niya ay ang pagkawasak ng kanyang pamilya at puso. Pero mas matindi pa pala ang kapalit—isang kasal na walang pagmamahal sa isang billionaire director doctor kilalang coldhearted at nakatali sa wheelchair, si Vincentius Vaughn. Para lang mailigtas ang negosyo ng pamilya, pumayag siyang maging asawa niya… kapalit ng isang kontrata. Ngunit nang matagpuan niya si Vincentius sa dalampasigan—walang malay, may amnesia, at higit sa lahat… nakakalakad—unti-unting nagbago ang lahat. Sa simpleng buhay na malayo sa lungsod, natuklasan niya ang isang bagong Vincentius—maalaga, mapagmahal, at tila matagal na siyang minahal noon pa man. Pero paano kung bumalik ang kanilang nakaraan? Paano kung ang totoong banta sa kanilang buhay ay hindi pa tapos? At paano kung ang akala niyang panandaliang kasunduan ay isa palang pag-ibig na itinadhana?

At first, I thought life was so easy but as the years had passed, I realized that life is obnoxious, specially for those poor who pray every day to win in a lottery. Since I was a kid, I already had carried a big responsibility in my arms, sometimes making me question myself whether I was born to live happily or the other way around. My mom and father had a divorce when I was a kid, and unluckily, she made me choose between her and papa. And now, too bad but I regretted nothing. On that day, I chose my dad, and never in million of years would I become jealous to my sister (who had chosen mom) just because she is rich and can buy anything she wants. I was used at buying my only basic needs, securing the rest of my money for future because I know I will still be the only one who can benefit at the end. I was just living peacefully, without having any regrets and doubts, but there is a man named Spencer whose arrogance could reach the planet Jupiter. And I can't deny he got the looks that made everyone to flicker after him. But never in million years would I become fluttered just because of silly and corny jokes from him. But I became tongue-tied for predicting everything. Because I was wrong for judging him like that.
