DOMINATED

CHAPTER 11

MARRY

The next morning came like everything was just a dream. Ang bilis din ng oras kahapon, ni hindi ko na halos napansin. Hindi parin ako makapaniwala na nakapag usap na kami ni Jeremiah. I invited him to my wedding and I prepared myself for going to school today and tomorrow will be the start of my wedding preparations.

Masyadong mabilis. Ikakasal na ako kaagad. I just know that I'm doing this for my parents and my sake against Alejandro.

I cannot imagine myself marrying a demon.

"You ready, hija?" Mommy came in as I was about to get my purse. Ngumiti ako sa kanya at kinuha na nga ang purse ko.

I'm wearing a white silver v-neck tight top above the knee dress. Nakababa lamang ang buhok ko kaya na curl na siya kanina, I'm also the one who I take care of my make up since I know what shade I like and the make up that I wanted to balance since my face is more natural.

"You're so stunning." ani Mommy, malawak ang ngiti. Ngumiti din ako pabalik, "Thank you, Mommy."

She held my elbow as her smile grew more. "I'm sure your brother is happy for you. Ikakasal na ang baby girl niya e."

We both laughed but I suddenly felt the pang of pain inside my chest as she mentioned my brother.

"Be happy with Icarus, okay? the Donomies are really pleased with us, especially Icarus. He was the one who wanted the wedding to be really wonderful." she uttered that made me smile. Dumating si Daddy kaya umalis na rin kami.

Nakasakay na kami sa kotse papunta sa Hotel ng Donomie. I didn't know that the dinner was held there. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na may Hotel pala ang Donomie. I didn't even research about that nor knowing who Icarus is because I wanna be really surprised. It gives me a thrill but I don't know why I felt a little bit bothered right now. My hands are shaking, my guts are telling me to run but I couldn't lay a mind to listen to it because maybe I am just scared.

I hope Alejandro accepts this and if he does... I'm gonna be happy. I hope Icarus is a man who will take away all my fears for this marriage. Sana rin pumayag siyang makipag annul sa akin sa susunod. This is just temporary, after I graduate... I'm gonna run away and live my life in Switzerland.

I'll just visit my parents here in the Philippines three times a month. That's my entire plan. I just hope that this marriage works.

And Alejandro wouldn't meddle with my life anymore. So, we'll just move on.

Nakarating na kami roon at ganon parin ang pakiramdam ko, mahina at maingat ang mga lakad ko habang papasok ng Hotel. Nakalinya na rin kaagad ang mga Employees na nandoon at lahat sila ay yumuko habang kami'y nag lakad lang. I bow my head to them too to show a reciprocity of respect. Some greeted us, some smiled. The Hotel is big. Silver ang theme nito, nag kalat rin ang mga mamahaling muwebles at mga paintings, ang mga furnitures ay gawa sa metal o bakal, hindi ito gawa sa kahoy or any other things that resembles in wood. Everything around this Hotel is luxurious.

Halata ring hindi basta-basta ang Employees na nandito dahil halos lahat ay desente ang mga mukha, postura at high class ang dating ng kanilang uniporme.

The butler guided our way to the Dining Hall wherein I saw the bunch of people around a big Dining Table. Natigilan ako nang matanaw si Ysmael na nakatayo sa gilid ng isang upuan habang may isang lalaking nag lalagay ng wine sa unahan nito na naka almost suit and tie pero naka gloves na itim. He's probably a waiter.

Lalong lumalim ang kunot ng aking noo nang makita ang pamilyar na mukha ng mga lalaking tumayo sa Dining Table upang salubungin kami at tuluyan akong napatigil sa likuran ni Mommy nang makilala sila.
