When A Guy Kisses Your Hand While Holding It

Akala ni Seraphina Alvarado natagpuan na niya ang perpektong buhay nang pakasalan niya si Adriano Villareal, ang makapangyarihang CEO ng Villareal Group. Kahit paulit-ulit siyang nasasaktan sa IVF treatments, tiniis niya ang lahat para lang mabigyan ang asawa niya ng anak. Pero sa araw na nalaman niyang buntis na siya, aksidente niyang narinig ang isang pag-uusap na tuluyang sumira sa mundo niya. Hindi pala kailanman gustong magkaroon ng anak ni Adriano sa kanya, hindi sa kanya. Gusto lang nitong gamitin ang sinapupunan niya. Para dalhin ang anak nito at ng babaeng tunay nitong mahal—si Vittoria Salcedo. Sa kanila, si Seraphina ay walang iba kundi isang breeding machine. Basag ang puso at puno ng galit, bumalik siya sa ospital para alamin ang buong katotohanan, pero mas malala pa ang nadiskubre niya. Ang batang dinadala niya sa sinapupunan… Ay hindi anak ni Adriano Villareal. Dahil sa isang medical mistake, ang ama ng batang iyon ay si Cassian Monteverde—cold-hearted at makapangyarihang billionaire heir ng Monteverde empire. Niloko ng asawa. Pinahiya ng pamilya. Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, hindi na iiyak si Seraphina, lalaban siya. At siya mismo ang mang-iiwan. Divorce ang susi niya, at palalakihin niya ang anak niya. At balang araw… Pagsisisihan ng lahat ang ginawa nila sa babaeng akala nila ay kaya nilang sirain.

Enemies. Iyan ang uri ng relasyon na mayroon sina Georgianna Ramirez at Eliam Sevilla. Ang kanilang mga magulang ay matalik na magkakaibigan kaya isang malaking palaisipan sa mga ito kung bakit lumaking hindi magkasundo ang dalawa. Bata palang sila ay hindi na sila magkaintindihan sa mga bagay-bagay. At ang kanilang diskusyon ay palaging nauuwi sa mga away. Pareho kasing matalino ang dalawa. At walang ayaw magpatalo sa kanila. Bukod kasi sa palaging magkalaban sa mga patimpalak sa kanilang eskuwelahan ay palagi ring nag-aagawan ang dalawa sa pagiging top 1 sa kanilang klase. Ang kanilang hindi pagkakaunawaan ay nagpatuloy hanggang sa kanilang pagtanda. Kahit graduate na ang mga ito at may kaniya-kaniya nang trabaho, hindi pa rin nagbabago ang tingin nila sa isa’t isa. Parehong rin silang galing sa angkan ng mga negosyante. Hindi pa man sila naipapanganak ay may kasunduan na ang kanilang mga lolo na silang dalawa ang siyang magbibigkis at mag-iisa sa dalawang pamilyang pinagtibay na ng panahon ang pagsasama. At kasal din lang ang natatanging paraan para mailigtas nila sa pagkakabenta ang plantasyon ng manggahan na matagal nang pag-aari ng kanilang pamilya. Pero paano nila gagawin iyon kung hindi naman nila gusto ang isa’t-isa? Handa ba nilang iwan ang kanilang mga karelasyon para lang sa kasal na hindi nila inakalang magaganap nang biglaan? At sa kanilang pagsasama bilang mag-asawa, posible nga kayang may mabuong pagmamahalan sa pagitan nilang dalawa?

Pagkagising niya ay sumalubong agad sa kanya ang galit na galit na si Xavien. Pagkagulat, pagkalito at takot ang una niyang naramdaman. Para sa kanya ay hindi siya ang babaeng kinagagalitan nito. Hindi siya ang Andrina na tinatawag nito at lalong hindi siya ang asawa nito. Paano niya matatakasan ang galit at poot ni Xavien kung pati siya ay hindi maalala ang mga nangyari sa kanya? Sino ang tutulong sa kanya upang makaalis sa poder ng lalaking nagsasabi na siya ang asawa nito?

-Who are you?" Finally, he stopped the silence. His words were strong, angry, and loud. "-What?" I felt so confused still couldn’t let my eyes from his new look. And his actions of killing without any emotions made my voice trembling. "-I...TOLD...YOU...WHO... THE FUCK... ARE... YOU...?" With stiff teeth he seemed to lose his patience, slowly and frighteningly, he asked, no, ordered to me, without lifting his eyes from me, with every word he took a step closer to me until I could smell the sweat, dirt smell of his ammunition from him. His hard chest-like rock was so close that it barely touched my body. I was shivering he was so scary and I still wanted him badly. "-Are you joking with me? How to understand, who am I?" I whispered... I stopped our deep gaze, even though it wasn't easy. -"What's happening here? Where are we? Why are you...." I couldn't finish one of my hundreds of questions when my husband turned his eyes away from me to his men. -"Take that strange ‘pause from his lips, his eyes traveled from the top of my head to my legs" bitch, to the cell, that little mouth soon will be open for me. And she will talk as well too."

Just when I thought I had successfully moved on from a loveless relationship, I realized I made the same mistake again. I fell in love with a kind and handsome billionaire, and I thought he was already the perfect man. However, I learned about his deep secret--the secret evolving around my identity, and the secret that shattered my respect for him.I broke off with him and claimed everything that belonged to me. I hated him like he was the fiercest criminal in the world. I accused him as a thief, stripping him off from his once, dazzling glory.But then, a particular event led me to the truth. Only to know that I was already too late!

I always think that all of his actions meant nothing but a friendly gesture. I always warn myself not to think too much about the way he treated me. I always think that I'm not that much of a significant girl to him. I used to think that it's okay to not think much because I don't want my expectation to be high because I'm sure the fall will hurt like a wench. I just don't really want to overthink about those things. But wasn't I already overthinking for the fact that I think to not overthink?
