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?

Kinaumagahan pagkagising ko ay nagulat nalang ako nang malaman ko na nabalitaan nila Mommy ang nangyari sa club kagabi. I don't know who the hell told them that!
Hindi pwedeng si Troy at Jeya dahil hindi na naman sila nanatili pa rito pagkatapos nila akong ihatid. And they don't have my parents number for goodness sake!
"Kelsey! Hindi ko akalain na magagawa mo 'yon!" ani Mommy. Disappointment is very evident on her face. Umiling siya at hinilot ang kanyang sentido.
Binaling ko ang tingin kay Daddy. Mataman siyang nakatingin sa akin tila ba hinihintay akong magpaliwanag.
"I didn't do anything!" sabi ko.
"Kung hindi pa tumawag si Benjamin, baka hindi ko pa nalaman na may nangyari palang ganoon kagabi. He said he's sorry for what happened last night."
Sorry? As if that's sincere! For all I know, he's only saying sorry para lang inisin ako lalo! And how dare him to call my parents? Close ba sila?
Because of what he did, mas lalo lang lumala ang pagkainis ko sakanya!
"He said you shouted at him at the club. Buti nalang rin at mabait iyong si Benjamin at hindi ka pinatulan."
I wanted to laugh at that moment. At bakit parang kasalanan ko pa? Kung sana maganda lang ang pakikitungo namin sa isa't isa, edi sana hindi ako magagalit sakanya ng husto! At tsaka, siya kaya itong nauna! Kung wala lang siyang paakbay-akbay diyan, edi sana hindi ako sasabog sa galit nang gabing iyon!
It's all his fault and not mine!
"Mom, I wouldn't shout at him if he didn't do anything!" I reasoned out.
"Ano ba kasi iyong ginawa niya?" tanong nito.
Hindi agad ako nakasagot. Should I tell him that he hooked his arms around my shoulders? 'Yun naman kasi talaga ang rason kung bakit ako nagalit sakanya. If he didn't do that at kung hindi lang talaga mainit ang dugo ko sakanya, baka hindi ko siya sisigawan ng ganoon kagabi.
"That's not important right now, Mom. Hindi po ako ang may kasalanan."
Bumuka ang bibig ni Mommy, mukhang handa nang ipagtanggol si Benjamin pero buti nalang at biglang nagsalita si Daddy.
"Hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung bakit kayo magkaaway nitong si Benjamin. I get that you two didn't get a nice introduction, but I still don't get why you can't even try and be on good terms."
Ngumuso ako. I tried, okay? I tried to look at him without making my blood boil. Pero hindi ko talaga maiwasan! Every time I look at him, I always remember his attitude towards me during the business party! Hindi ko talaga makalimutan iyon!
