Marrying The Salguero's Heir (Salguero Siblings Series #1)

Prologue

I have always been a fan of romantic novels, and from a young age, I've dreamed of finding a man who will love me not just for my good qualities but also for my imperfections. It's easy to appreciate the best in people, but it takes understanding to accept and embrace their flaws.

Love that transcends imperfections is a rare and beautiful thing, and it is what I aspire to find.

A true love.

That's why when my parents asked me to accept the arranged marriage they planned for me, I was hesitant.

I still have a lot of plans for my life, and marriage does not belong to them. I still want to find the man I dream of. But when they pleased me for the sake of our company, I accepted the proposal despite my hesitation.

My parents have been there for me. In my twenty-six years of existence, they didn't ask for anything and supported me in everything I did.

Alam ko kung gaano kahalaga para sa kanila ang company, nakita ko ang paghihirap nila para maitayo ito at mapalago.

Our company is also the reason why I dream to become an architect, and now that I'm one, I think it's the right time to pay back all the sacrifices.

I fixed my dress as the van entered our garden. I've been nervous because I will be meeting the man I'm going to marry today.

Mom tapped my back before we came near the van when it stopped in front of the house.

Huminga ako ng malalim at ipininta ang ngiti sa mga labi ko.

I was surprised when they told me that I'd be marrying the heir of Salguero's empire, Royse.

Pagdating sa usapin ng real estate, ang pamilya Salguero ang namamayagpag sa buong Asya at malaking parte ng Europa.

Ang lolo ni Royse na si Mr. Alfredo ang nagtaguyod ng estate, it should be inherited by Royse's father, but he and his wife died in a car crash eleven years ago. Magtatapos pa lang yata si Royse noon ng kolehiyo.

Limitado lang ang nalaman kong impormasyon dahil masiyadong pribado ang pamilya nila.

When Royse's parents died, all the responsibilities for his siblings were left to him. Maging ang pagtulong sa lolo niya sa pagpapatakbo ng company ay kinailangan niyang saluhin.

Ang sabi ni papa napakagaling niya pagdating sa larangan ng pagnenegosyo, marahil ay dahil na rin sa maagang namulat ang mga mata niya. Although there are rumors saying that he's heartless and merciless.

Bukod sa pagiging tanyag sa larangan ng negosyo, kilala rin ang pamilya Salguero pagdating sa kagandahan ng kanilang pamilya.

Madalas silang kuhanin bilang cover ng mga elite at exclusive magazines, maski ng mga sikat na brand, pero pili at bilang ang mga pinapaunlakan nila. Karamihan pa rito ay mga elite organization lang abroad.

Hindi ko alam kung paano nakilala nila papa ang pamilya nila at kung paano ako na-engaged sa tagapag-mana nila. Compared to other companies, hindi ganoon katanyag ang architectural firm namin. Hindi ganoon kalaki ang maitutulong ng company namin sa matayog nilang estate. In a nutshell, we're just an apartment to their lofty building.

Pigil ko ang hininga ko nang bumukas ang van. The first one to go out is Mr. Alfredo.

The foundation that made their estate a gem.

He's around 60s. Nakangiti siya pero mababakas ang awtoridad sa kaniyang itsura.

Sumunod sa kaniyang bumaba ay ang kaniyang mga apo.

I hold my breath as they go out. Tama nga ang mga nabasa kong articles.

Napaka-ganda ng lahi nila.
