Married To Veronica Armendarez

I

Third Person's P.O.V

"No way that im gonna marry her!" Veronica's voice echoed to the dining area of their mansion as her parents announced that she and the girl infront of her are getting married in 2 weeks now.

"Veronica!" her father's authoritative voice silenced everyone in the table. Maski sya ay hindi maipagkakailang nakaramdam ng takot ng marinig ang galit na boses ng ama. But she stood her ground at umaktong hindi naapektuhan.

"I let you do everything that you wanted ever since you were a child. Hinayaan kong ikaw ang magdesisyon sa buhay mo. Hindi ako nangielam. I supported you every step of the way." nagsisimula pa lang ang kanyang ama ay pinutol na kaagad nya ang sasabihin nito.

"And now you're telling me to marry someone na I barely even know! Someone that I dont even love! And worst she's a girl for pete's sake! Dad!"

"Veron! Watch your mouth!" saway sa kanya ng kanyang ina pero hindi nya ito pinansin.

"You dont want to do business. So I want you to marry someone that's into it." his dad said in a firm tone. As if saying na wala na syang magagawa. Na kailangan na lang niyang sumunod.

"But thats unfair! Dad naman! I just turned 22! I can meet and fall inlove with some business man in the future!" she reasoned out but her father just shook his head.

"And I dont want "some" business man to take over Armendarez Group of Companies in the near future sweetie.." sagot ng kanyang ama na parang wala lang ang pagdedesisyong ginagawa.

"And you want this!" turo nya sa babaeng kaharap na ngayon ay tahimik lang na nakikinig at nanonood sa pag-aaway nilang mag-ama.

"She has a name!" his father said.

"And I dont care!" she said at tumayo na sa kanyang upuan. His father eyed her as if telling her to sit down because they're not done yet.

"I've made up my mind Veronica. You're going to marry Kiarra de Saavedra whether you two, like it or not." yun lang ang sinabi nito at marahas na ibinaba ang mga kubyertos na kanyang ginamit at nauna pang maglakad paalis ng hapagkainan.

"D-de Saavedra??"

Veronica heard her mother sigh.

"Im sorry that you have to witness this hija.." sambit ng kanyang ina. Bakas ang paghingi ng paumanhin sa boses nito.

"Mom! Why are you even saying sorry to her!" di makapaniwalang tanong nito.

"Because you and your dad acted like that Veronica. At sa harap pa ng hapag. Hindi ba kayo nahihiya? May bisita tayo at ganyan ang inaasal ninyo?" kahit na galit ay malambing pa rin ang tono ng pananalita nito.

"Bisita?! Mom! Cant you see? She's a bastard! Hindi na ako magugulat if she's a gold digger! She just want to marry me dahil kapalit nun ay ang AGOC!" di makapaniwalang sigaw nito sa kanyang ina.

"Omygod Veronica, stop!" nagulat sya ng marinig ang pag sigaw ng ina. Mabait at mapagpasensyang tao ito. At ngayon nga lang nya ata nakita ang galit na itsura nito.

"Umakyat ka na. Take some rest. Because I've heard from your dad that bukas na magsisimula ang preparation para sa kasal nyo." she was shocked. At agad na nakaramdam ng galit. Kaya naman padabog na itong naglakad palabas ng dining room pero bago pa man makalabas ay tinapunan nya muna ng masamang tingin ang babaeng ipapakasal sa kanya na ngayon ay hinihingiang paumanhin pa rin ng kanyang ina.

She just rolled her eyes at galit na naglakad patungo sa kanyang silid. Ng maisara na nya ang pinto ay di na nya napigilan ang pag-iyak.

She loves her dad. And she knows that he loves her too. So much. Kaya hindi nya matanggap ang desisyon nitong ipakasal sa kung sino sino lang. Higit sa lahat ay sa babae pa. Hindi nya magets ang kanyang ama.

She's hundred percent sure that she's straight af. And no way na papatol sya sa kapwa nya babae.

She's been dreaming of marrying someone that she really love. Someone that will love her so much and treat her like a princess that she truely is. She's been dreaming of a fairytale lovestory. At ang lahat ng ito ay nasira kani kanina lang. Ng sabihin ng daddy nyang nais nitong pakasalan nya ang babaeng iyon.

Pero hindi ito ang nagpapaiyak sa kanya ngayon. Kung di ang malaman na kaya ito ginagawa ng kanyang ama ay dahil sa negosyo. Dahil na naman sa negosyo.

Armendarez Group of Companies is on top of the game. Her family is the richest in the Philippines. Kaya naman ang lahat ng kakompetensya nila ay ang pagbagsak nila ang inaabangan. At hindi malabong mangyari nga iyon.

Her dad is not getting any younger, tumatanda na rin ito. Same with her Grandfather na ngayon ay mas madalas ng nagpapahinga sa mansion nito kesa pumasok sa opisina. Her dad is an only child and so does she. Kaya naman ang tagapagmana at ang magpapatuloy ng pamumuno sa kanilang Empire ang problemang kinakaharap ng pamilya nila ngayon.

She doesnt have an interest sa pagpapatakbo ng negosyo. She hates it. So she takes up fine arts for college. She wants to be a fashion designer and she's a year away from her dreams.

She's now in her 4th year of college. And she's studying in Tristain University, the most prestigious school in the Philippines. An exclusive school for the members of the Royale Society. She's living her best life right now.

Kaya naman nagpupuyos sya sa galit ng isiping ikakasal na sya. Parang tinanggalan na sya ng kalayaan. At itatali na sa iba. Ano na lamang ang sasabihin ng buong student body kapag nalamang kasal sya sa babae? And worst sa isang bastardo pa. Ano na lang ang mangyayari sa reputasyon nya?

At dahil para pa sa negosyo?

Ever since she was a child all the attention was on her, hanggang sa mag aral sya. She enjoyed the attention that she's getting from everyone. The admiration on their eyes when she walks on the University's hallway, she like how everyone loves her and at the same time fear her.

She's Veronica Armendarez, all the boys in their world wants to be with her, and all the girls, if not envious of her, surely wants to be her.

Kaya naman hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling makaramdam ng galit sa plano ng ama na ipakasal siya sa isang bastarda.

She would do everything in her power to stop his father's plan, and if not, she will surely use all of her power to make Kiarra de Saavedra's life, a living hell.

Hello ang pagp-publish ko po ng istoryang ito ay bunga lamang ng pagiging impulsive ko 🙃.

Decided to publish this story na din kasi ilang taon na siyang nabubulok sa drafts ko 😅.

A fun fact about this one too is that this is originally entitled "Married to Adrianna Blanc".

Enjoy!
