The Significance of Marriage

PROLOGUE

"I don't think your plan will work on my sister" Anzhelika said in distaste, she's my wife's sister and  my best friend. I told her my plan and she instantly disagreed with it. Well, I am sure that my plan will work.

I side eye her and she sighed. "That's not gonna happen because my plan will work and all you have to do is to trust me okay?" Her face contorted she's really showing it that she's not fond of my plan but I don't care. I don't want to marry her in the first place. My enemy and her sister Anzhelina Ksenia Petrov. You may like her because of her pretty name but trust me you will not like her once you meet her.

I dore her beauty but I despise her personality. I hate it she is the most mayabang girl I have ever met. "Trust me Cosette your plan will not work on my sister. I will bet my penthouse and my jaguar for it." I rolled my eyes at her. What does she think of me huh? I know my plan will work because this will hurt her ego big time.

I stepped out of the van and went inside the house. I immediately went to her office and there I saw her sitting on her swivel chair. Pictures scattered on her desk, it's my picture kissing another man. Her eyes were bloodshot and that made my knees wobbly.

This is not the time to be weak I need to annul our marriage. "Let's annul our marriage. I'm tired with it I'm not happy with our marriage." Tiningnan niya lang ako bago bumalik sa pag-aasikaso ng trabaho niya sa kaniyang laptop.

"Ksenia are you listening to me?" I am now frustrated dahil sa hindi niya pinansin ang sinabi ko kanina. "Yes honey I'm listening." She said it like she was bored already. I inhaled deeply then look at her again.

"I said I want an annulment I am not happy with this marriage because I'm in love with someone else!" There I said it it's my last resort and I'm hoping she will take it. She looked at me for a second. She closes her laptop and stand up. My chest became heavy. This is why I hate her everytime she's near my chest will get heavy, I will get nervous, my heartbeat will raise and I will be weak. I hate it so much.

Lumapit siya sakin at umupo sa harapan ko. "Seems like you're eager to end this marriage princess but I will not do that. No matter what you do I will never let you go. I will never ever end this marriage for the sake of your love. I will never hand you over to that bastard even if I die." Then she put her right leg on her left leg and lift my chin. "I don't care if you love someone else, honey. Even if you had an affair with another man and you got pregnant. I will not annul this marriage and I will accept your child like my own child. So give me another reason, honey. You should try harder." Then she kissed my forehead.

Padabog akong lumabas ng opisina niya sa sobrang inis. Wala na akong ibang maisip na paraan para maipaannul itong kasal namin. "Ano? Did it work ba?" Anzhelika who came from nowhere. I walk pass at her and went downstairs. "Hey Cosette pumayag ba siya? Bakit hindi ka sumasagot siguro hindi pumayag ate ko." Nairita ako kaya tumigil ako sa paglalakad at mataray siyang tiningnan. "Alam mo pala e bakit ka pa nagtanong?" The side of her lips rose. "Told 'ya ate will not buy it. I know her well kahit anong gawin mo hindi niya i-aannul ang marriage niyo."

Inis akong umupo sa sofa, now I'm stuck in this house and in our marriage. "Hay naku wala kanang ibang magagawa kundi ang tanggapin na siya talaga ang asawa at makakasama mo habang buhay. You should've known na umpisa pa lang na pumayag ka there is no way out. Iyan tuloy nagsisisi ka pa." I let out a sigh at what she said. She's right dapat nung una pa lang hindi na ako pumayag edi sana hindi ako naghihirap na mai-annul ang marriage namin.

"I gotta go may surgery pa ako mamaya. Good luck with my sister. Alam kong galit na yon sayo." She winked at me and left.

Huminga ako ng malalim and rest my head sa back reast ng sofa. I guess I have to endure it na lang. It's impossible to end this marriage.
