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?
And beca...

Tease
Hindi na kami nag-usap pa ni Benjamin pagkatapos noon. It's like there's a wall built between us after that argument.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nais niyang iparating. He's doing that for what? Para mas mapalaki pa ang ego niya? So people would think that he's manned up now?
Ilang beses kong pinilit isipin ang sagot pero alam kong hindi ko makukuha iyon. If Tita Barbara knew what he's doing then she'll probably raise hell! But then, maybe she's letting Benjamin do whatever he wants.
After all, he's the one managing their company now. At kung hindi pa hayaan ni Tita Barbara si Benjamin na gawin ang gusto niya, baka ano pa ang gawin non.
I look at him from the corner of my eye. Tamad siyang nakikinig sa programa. I bite the inside of my cheeks.
I feel like I was way too harsh with him a while ago. My mother always told me that it is not right to judge someone I barely know. Hindi ko rin naman alam kung totoo ba iyong mga paratang ko sakanya.
If it's true then, I still don't have the right to judge him. At the end of the day, he's still human. May nararamdaman rin kahit na alam ko na mas pinipili niyang hindi ipakita ito.
I should just be thankful that he tried to stop those people from thinking that I'm one of those girls that he forgets the next day after he bring them to an event. It was surprising that he thinks that I'm different from those girls, that he didn't want them to think of me that way because I am far from that.
Pumikit ako at tsaka yumuko. Stupid, Kelsey. You shouldn't have said something. You should've shut your mouth. Tsaka mo tuloy naisip ngayon na that was beyond the line. Benjamin probably got insulted. Sana nakisakay nalang ako sa trip niya para hindi ganito.
Ugh! Damn it! This conscience is killing me. I fucking hate it.
Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na hininga at tsaka sinubukang mag-focus sa programma kahit na maraming bumabagabag sa isip.
When the first course arrived, I grabbed the table napkin to put it on my lap. Pero dahil wala ako sa sarili ko ngayon ay natabig ko ang kutsilyo kaya ito nabagsak sa sahig.
I was quick enough to try and pick it up pero may kasabay akong gawin iyon. I stopped when I realized that Benjamin also tried to pick the knife up for me. Lumunok ako at tsaka nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na tingnan siya.
Ganoon rin ang ginawa niya. Ang kaibahan lang, kung anong lambot ng titig ko sakanya, ganong kalamig naman ang kanya. Mabilis akong nag-iwas ng tingin at tsaka hinayaan na siyang pulutin iyon.
Pinatong niya naman muli ang kutsilyo sa lamesa.
"Thank you," I mumbled without looking at him. Naramdaman ko ang pagtango niya pero wala siyang sinabi pagkatapos noon.
