Barangay Guerrera Love Story

JASMINE'S POV

"You wanted me to marry him?!" Hindi ko na napigilang itaas ang boses ko.

"Apo, this is for the company. Jennifer's businesses will provide great supports to our company. You know that!"

"Lolo, hindi pa ba sapat itong ginagawa ko para sa inyo? You took almost everything from me! And now this?"

"If you are going to talk about that boy again, I will never listen! Ang tagal na nun Jasmine! You should move on!"

"No! Hindi lang ito tungkol sa kaniya, tungkol ito sa kung paano niyo kinokontrol ang buhay ko. I already gave myself to your businesses and accepted the heiress for you! Why the need to marry that man!?"

"You want me to never touch that man's life, am I right? You know how I work with a hindrance. I told you, once I found out that he is the reason why you are not doing any of this I will touch him."

"Lolo! Ni hindi ko na nga alam kung nasaan na iyon! He hates me for what I did. He is angry at me. How can I face him after what I did to him?!"

"Then marry Tyler Laurel! Bakit hindi mo gusto? If you are worrying about the thing called love, you will love him eventually. You and him will work out!"

"This is about my freedom. I am done being your puppet. If you want me to continue your bloodline and your glory, you will not force me into this fixed marriage. I will not accept it!"

Tinalikuran ko siya at tumakbo na sa taas. I can't believe he is doing this to me after that meeting? Sabi ko na mayroong hindi maganda sa meeting na iyon.

He planned my wedding without my approval! He is so greedy about his glory and reputation! He wanted to make more power while I am fucking struggling with my life under his wing.

I never wanted to manage a business? I never wanted to be his most prized possession! But I couldn't say no before because of his influences and power.

Four year ago, I was scared that lolo will hurt him and his family if I didn't follow his words. That is why I left and studied business for his empire. When he realized that I completely cut off my connection with him, he let me have this acting career.

He wants to have a heiress that will continue his legacy. Lola died out of heartbreak because of how ambitious lolo is. At the very young age, I have to learn how to fake smile, please everyone, and meet their expectations. All of it, I did all of it because I was scared of him.

But right now, I couldn't keep my silence. Marrying someone means binding myself for eternity. I don't want to marry someone who I do not want to spend my whole life? If I accepted that, it will be over for me. I will never have my voice again.

Pagpasok ko ng van, I calmed myself down. Too much anger is not good for me. I have to breathe. So while we are driving home, I tried to clear my mind.

But then again my tears fell. I can't help but to sob and cover my eyes with my arm. Ilang beses na akong nakikita ni Daniel ng ganito kaya hindi na ako nahihiya pa.

Everything is too much for me. Right now, I was planning to ruin my reputation in the business industry to trigger the board and force them to not want me as the next chairman of the company.
