"You can't force me to marry Klein Dometry!" Nanggagalaiting sigaw ko kay Daddy.

"Yes! You will. If I say it, you will do it. I am not Yeoji Martini for nothing. You, being my daughter should know me already."

Natameme ako sa isinagot niya dahil tama siya. He can be a ruthless devil in a suit if he wants to.

It's just that, I can't marry a man who doesn't even care about me. I am sure that I like him, but is it enough?

Kilala ko kong sino ang gusto ni Klein. Si Trinity, ang bestfriend nito. I can feel it by the way he looks at her. There is something in his eyes, an emotion that you can only see in a person who is inlove.

And I am not dumb to enter in a relationship I know, I will be the one to lose in the end.

"Daddy, please! He is not even my boyfriend." Protesta ko ng mahanap ko ang boses ko.

"And so what? He is a good man. He came from a well known and respected family. And a man like him is what you needed."

Muntik na akong mapaikot ng mga mata pero pinigilan ko. Agree akong nanggaling siya sa mayaman at karespe respetong angkan pero ang sabihan niyang mabait si Klein? He must be kidding me. Ni hindi nga niya kayang maging mabait saakin. Kulang na lang sakalin niya ako sa sobrang inis kapag nakikita ako.

Ano na lang ang mangyayari kapag ikinasal pa kami? Sigurado akong palagi kaming magbabangayan or worst, baka mapatay pa niya ako sa sobrang gigil niya saakin. Kaya para hindi mangyari iyon, kailangang pigilan ko na ang kasal habamg maaga pa.

"I won't marry Klein and you have nothing to do about it." Desididong sagot ko.

"You wouldn't like me mad Chanel, and you witnessed it already." Pagbabanta nito.

I gulp and stared at his frustrated face. What he said was true. Naalala ko noong mag aanim na taong gulang ako, may mga usap usapan sa baryo namin na may binayaran siyang tao para patayin ang busimess partner nito sa tubuhan namin pero walang nakapagpatunay.

Labing anim na taong gulang ako noong masaksihan ko kong paano niya pabagsakin ang kabuhayan ng mga Carbonel sa kadahilanang ayaw nilang ipagbili ang kalahati ng kanilang lupain.

"Wear a descent dress tonight. Klein and his father will come over to join us for dinner."

Matapos sabihin iyon, tumalikod na siya at naglakad papaalis sa kwarto ko. Pero nakakatlong hakbang pa lang ito ng magsalita ulit.

"Alam kong may galit ka saakin pero sana naman huwag mo ng dagdagan pa. I am just doing this for your own good. Para sa kinabukasan mo. I am not getting any younger. I want you to have someone beside you when something  unexpectedly happen. Life is too short Chanel. We will never know what tomorrow brings." Makahulugang sabi niya bago niya binuksan ang aking pintuan at lumabas.

Naiwan akong nag iisip. Ano ang ibig niyang sabihin? Hindi ko alam pero bigla na lang akong nakaramdam ng takot.

Daddy is very strict on me and sometimes it makes me annoyed and pissed but despite of that I can't deny the fact that I love him.

He is the only one I have right now. I haven't heard from my mother for a long time since she left us nine years ago.

Simula noong maglayas si mommy, mas lalong pina igting ni daddy ang pagbabantay sa seguridad ko. He hired me, not just one but three annoying bodyguards.

Hindi ako makalabas ng bahay nang hindi nila ako sinusundan. They never let me leave their sight, not even a second.

My schoolmates were fascinated about them. Some even commented that it was cool having a bodyguards. But I can't feel the coolness in it because I feel irritated having them around me.
