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?

Nawala lang ang tingin ko kay Benjamin nang sinalubong ako ni Brittany.
"Come on, Kelsey! Join us!" aya niya sa akin.
Ngumiti naman ako at nilingon ang mga magulang ko. Both of them are looking at us and they're smiling. Hihilahin na sana ako ni Brittany palayo nang may mapagtanto siya.
"Oops. I forgot to ask permission from you, Tito and Tita!" nahihiya siyang tumawa. "Can I borrow Kelsey for a while po? I'm just going to introduce her to my cousins!"
Tumango si Daddy habang si Mommy naman ay tahimik na humagikhik.
"Go ahead, Brittany." Sabi ni Mommy. Brittany squeals at tsaka na ako tuluyang nagpahila sakanya.
Her cousins are already smiling at me when I joined their table. I smiled back. Ang isa niya namang pinsan ay may kaakbay na isang babae. The lady smiled at me.
"Hey guys! This is Kelsey!" pakilala ni Brittany sa akin sa mga pinsan niya. I saw Benjamin scoffed. Binalik niya ang kaninang iniinom na wine sa kanyang bibig.
"We recently just met her at the business party and I was immediately mesmerized by her beauty. Isn't she pretty?" Brittany giggled. Nahihiya naman akong tumawa.
She doesn't need to do that. A simple introduction will do. But of course, we have our own ways of introducing someone to a new group of people, kaya wala na rin akong magagawa.
Tumango ang mga pinsan niya maliban kay Benjamin. He chuckled a little. Umiling ito. Napansin naman ni Brittany ang reaksyon ng kanyang kapatid. She rolled her eyes at him. Mamaya maya pa ay nagpakilala na ang mga pinsan niya sa akin.
"Hi! I'm Margaux." Bati ng isang babae na may katangkaran at maganda ang pangangatawan. She looks like a model but I heard she's a doctor.
"Hi! Nice to meet you."
Sumunod naman sakanya ang isang binatang lalaki. He smiled cheekily at me. Buong akala ko naman noong una ay kinuha niya ang kamay ko upang kamayan ito. Pero laking gulat ko nalang noong hinalikan niya ito. He smiled cheekily at me again.
"It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful lady like you. I'm Dominic Stefan Donovan." He said then he curtsied at me.
Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko nang dahil sa ginawa niya. His cousins started cheering for him. Tumawa sila nang dahil sa ginawa niya.
"O-Oh... H-Hi..." medyo nahihiya kong bati.
Ngumiti siyang muli sa akin sa huling pagkakataon bago magpakilala sa akin iyong pinsan nilang may kasamang babae.
"I'm Aiden and this is my wife," he turns to his wife like he's so in love with her. Ngumiti sa akin iyong babae.
"Anastasia," she offered her hand to me. I gladly accepted it. "Nice to meet you, Kelsey."
