His Beautiful Nightmare - COMPLETED - SELF-PUBLISHED

Prologue

EnjoyReading:)

I

 do believe being in love is a choice, and being in a relationship is a commitment that needs to be maintained by two people who love each other.

I'm a man, and I don't see myself giving too much to the woman I love, and this is who I am now, contrary to what I was doing for Abilene. I never thought that a relationship with the woman who built my life would last this long.

"I want to be a well-known, international fashion designer," she said softly.

We are at my condominium and do not have any plans to go anywhere else, but I don't mind because being with her is enough for me.

"Surely, you will become a famous fashion designer, but before that we can get married first, can't we?" I said softly too. I want to laugh at myself. I don't have tenderness in my body, but it naturally comes out when Abilene is with me.

"But I don't want to get married yet. Masyado pa akong bata para sa usapang kasalan, marami pa akong pangarap sa buhay," mahinang sabi niya sa akin, hindi alintana kung masasaktan ako sa kan'yang sinabi.

I was stunned by what she said, but I still smiled even though deep inside I was being swallowed by pain.

I can't leave the Philippines because I want to be a worthy CEO of our family's business. I want to show my father that I deserve to be a CEO.

Hindi pwedeng sa anak sa labas ni Dad mapupunta ang dapat ay sa akin.

"I've done so much for you, para lang mag-work ang relasyon na 'to," bulong ko.

"Sinusumbatan mo ba ako?" Galit na tanong niya sa akin dahilan kung bakit natigilan ako. I immediately shook my head when I heard the annoyance and anger in Abilene's angelic voice.

"That's not what I mean to say, baby. I'm just too afraid of losing you. Your father promised me that we will get married as long as I obey him and that's what I'm doing. I can give you the world, Rye. Let's get married."

Hindi siya makatingin ng maayos sa akin na para bang may masama akong sinabi. I don't want us to fight because of this matter, since we don't have a lot of time to spend together. I'm already focused for working in the company, while Abilene often comes to Isabela despite the fact that she is homeschooled.

I even betrayed my father just to get a lot of money for Abilene. Maybe this is how I love. I will do everything to make it work.

Ang ama ni Abilene ay kilalang kakompetensiya ng ama ko pagdating sa business world, ngunit nang maging kami ni Abilene ay tila natapos ang matagal na hidwaan sa kanilang dalawa.

'Yon din ang akala ko, ngunit hindi ko inaasahan na hihiling ang ama ni Abilene ng malakihang pagnanakaw sa kumpanya ni Dad kapalit ng pagsuporta niya sa relasyon naming dalawa ni Abilene.

I'm too stupid, I know that. But if continuing to obey Abilene's Father means that I could be with Abilene for the rest of my life, so be it.

Ang perang ninanakaw ko ay hindi naman magiging dahilan ng pagbagsak ng kumpanyang mamanahin ko rin naman.

Kailangan ko lang magtiis pansamantala.

"Inaantok na ako, Gioval. Ihatid mo na ako sa bahay," malamig na sabi niya sa akin kaya naman alam ko talagang hindi niya nagustuhan ang mga sinabi ko.
