| CHAPTER 3- AECELLA'S P.O.V.

I balled my fist as I caught my parents having an argument again tonight. Wala namang bago eh, they always fight. They couldn't even spend a day together without clashing. So loud, roaring inside our house like there's no tomorrow. 

And as always, they are arguing over Calleb's and my engagement. 

Wala pa sa higit ang pag-ayaw ni Mommy sa usaping kasalan namin, but Dad being him... Business is business.

Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management was the course I took in college since that was the course Akhazel had, and I was only allowed to study at a university because of her. The fact that I didn't have the right to choose my own course, and that, I can't do anything about it. 

Tourism is fun, so it's okay with me. Isa pa, pinangarap ko rin naman ito noon. Subalit ng naglaon, at nagbago na siya, ay hindi na rin ako naging masaya. Pero ngayon, ang gusto ng mga ama namin ay maging isang ganap na magkaisang dibdib kami. 

I have to marry Calleb. 

For power, reputation and connection. Hindi naman sana ako ang ikakasal sa kaniya dahil ang kapatid ko ang may gusto sa kaniya at higit sa lahat ay may namamagitan sa kanila, ngunit dahil sa mga nangyari, sa huli ay kami rin ang magiging mag ka-isang dibdib.

Si Calleb na lang ang pag-asa ng Daddy ko para makilala kami nang hindi naasa kay Grandpapa. 

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit mas pinili ni Mommy na sundin si Dad at talikuran si Grandpapa, ngayon tuloy ay ako ang kapalit. Ako ang aako sa nangyari. Instead of swallowing his pride and ego. 

Calleb Vaunx Dinçer... the heir of Dinçer Airlines. He was thirty-three, while I'm twenty-two. Sadistic and brutal. Loud like a roaring thunderstorm. Dark, cruel, and violent.

His firm pressure on my hand often caused swollen areas. Bruises and cuts on my lips when he's furious with me and I'm trying to stand up and explain myself... despite being certain that I did nothing wrong, sasaktan pa rin niya ako. Insults, bumps, bruises and cuts. He torments me through languages, physically, and mentally. 

He was a nice person compared to his looks... before. But after what happened, he became like that. Name him. Any awful adjective, he's that. 

Once he's mad, he'll surely make you feel what hell is—like turning into ballistic. My twin sister, Akhazel, was his girlfriend and was supposed to be his bride, but because of me... the wedding didn't take its place. Kaya nga madalas ay sumasagi rin sa isip ko na parang tama lang din na ako ang umako sa nangyari, dahil kasalanan ko naman talaga. 

"Augustus! The proposal can still be withdrawn, stop the agreement! Hindi mo pa rin ba nakikita? Hindi nga gusto ni Calleb ang anak natin, at halos isuka na niya. Don't you feel sorry for your daughter?!" Hindi ko mapigilang maiyak sa naririnig ko. 

May pakialam si Mommy, she cares how I feel. But Dad?
