Never in Kelsey Alena Sanchez's dream did she ever imagine herself being forced into an arranged marriage. Who would've thought that Benjamin Antonio Donovan―a man she has a cat and dog relationship with―will now be her soon-to-be husband?

Benjamin and His Collections
I checked the time on my watch as I sip through my last glass of whiskey. Halos mabulunan pa ako nang mapagtanto ko na oras ko na para umuwi.
"Oh! I need to go." I said to Gio and Dominic.
Sabay silang napabaling ng tingin sa akin, naguguluhan. Kinuha ko ang coat ko na nakasabit sa likod ng upuan ko at saka iyon inayos. Pagkatapos ng trabaho ay rito na ako dumiretso sa kanila Dominic dahil bigla rin naman siyang nag-aya ng inuman.
Aiden couldn't come since he's so busy with his company. Iyon na ata ang pangalawang tahanan no'n. Out of all of us, he's the most workaholic. I wonder how he is able to manage his time with his family despite all the work that piled up on him.
"Ang aga naman!" reklamo ni Dominic habang nakatingin din sa relo niya.
I sigh. I know it's so unusual of me to go home early but my wife is pregnant and I promise to be there for her in case she needs me. Well, hindi pa naman niya ako kailangan ngayon dahil kakaalam palang naman namin na buntis siya ulit. But you know...as a paranoid husband, I want to be there.
"May buntis akong kailangang alagaan—"
Agad namang naputol ang sinasabi ko nang magsalita ang dalawa.
"Kelsey's pregnant again?!" sabay nilang sinabi.
Nagugulohan ko silang tiningnan. Didn't we tell them already?
Sandali akong napaisip. Oh, shit! Kelsey told me not to tell anyone yet. We just found out she's pregnant again last week! I slipped accidentally. Siguro dala na rin 'to ng nainom ko. Kahit kailan talaga ang bunganga mo, Benjamin!
"Hindi ba't kakaroon n'yo lang ng kambal?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Dominic.
"Bakit? Bawal ba gumawa ulit?"
He rolled his eyes. Gio chuckled.
"Iba ka rin talaga 'no? Wala ka atang pinalalampas na oras. Give your wife a break, man!" si Gio.
I scoffed. "Well, when the sex is so good—"
I was interrupted when Dominic groaned. Tingnan mo ang isang 'to. Inggit na naman. Tumawa ako habang pinapanood siyang uminom mula sa baso ng kanyang whiskey.
I know why he's being like this. Why he's so bitter about our love lives all of a sudden. Ikaw ba naman kasi ang paulit-ulit iwasan at pagtulakan palayo? Kung ako rin siguro ang nasa pwesto niya, mabi-bitter din ako lalo na't pamilyado na ang halos lahat sa amin habang siya...tumatanda na pero ito at iniiwasan pa rin.
"Hey! Shut up about your sex life and just go! If I only knew you'll go home earlier than planned then I shouldn't have invited you over." Dominic shakes his head disappointingly.
