CV Trilogy 2: KRISTHEL JOY BESIN ✓

PROLOGUE

SHE'S MARRIED.

Married with the drop dead gorgeous and mighty Curse Livid Malcolm, CEO and owner of Malcolm Shipping Lines reigning over the seas of Asia and Europe.

Tahimik na binuksan ni Joy at binasa ang latest issue ng Power Bachelor's Magazine. The magazine features the most successful bachelors all over the world.

Rich, hot, and devilishly handsome bachelors.

She keeps on turning from pages to pages until something caught her eyes. And her eyebrow automatically tugged upward.

"Malcolm, Curse Livid, one of the most sought bachelor was caught holding hands with the famous it girl, Hally Matias."

Her jaw clenched but she was quick to get back her confident composure. Joy crossed her legs and leaned her back on the seat inside a first class flight.

With her slender fingers, she took the glass of wine and drank from it. Tahimik siyang sumimsim mula rito. Inilayo niya ito ng bahagya at pinakatitigan. Tila ata nagbago ang lasa.

The taste became so bitter.

On the smooth surface of the glass, she saw a woman whose eyes flashed a distinct kind of gloominess in the reflection.

Humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa baso at mabilis itong binaba.

Joy sneered lowly, "Bachelor my pretty ass."

Ang kapal ng mukha ng bruhong 'to. Gagawa na nga lang ng kalokohan, magpapahuli pa! Kung alam lang ng Hally-parot na 'yan--

Joy gritted her teeth suppressing her emotions.

It's been years pero hinding-hindi niya makakalimutan ang kagaguhang ginawa sa kaniya ng lalakeng 'yon. And she will make him pay big fucking time!

She was pulled from her reverie when her friend, Jasmine snapped her fingers in her face.

"Hello earth to moon and sun then back to earth and Joy," her friend snooted in irritation. "Nasa Pilipinas na tayo, gaga."

Joy blinked enumerable times and straightened her back.

"What's with the spacing out?" Napabaling naman siya sa kaibigang si Angel na walang sigla ang boses.

"Wala, may iniisip lang," sagot niya sa mababang tono.

Halatang namang hindi naniniwala ang mga kaibigan niya kaya naman nag-iwas na lamang siya ng tingin.

Her friends knew her very well. They can easily read through her eyes, especially Angel.

"Wala daw pero you've been murdering that page of the magazine," Jasmine scoffed.

Walang buhay siyang napabaling sa kaibigang may nakalolokong ngisi habang nakatingin sa hawak niyang magazine.

Joy unconsciously dropped her sight on the page featuring her dearest husband. And indeed, she's definitely murdering that piece of sheet! No. Not the paper. But the dumbass on that page!

Her friends has only one goal in mind why they came back here in the Philippines. And that is to find their Mr. Right in this world full of Mr. Wrong, and have a wonderful family. Gusto niyang masuka. She definitely thinks that way during her teenage years— a loving husband, children and a home full of love. Lahat ng 'yon nakalimutan niya nang dahil kay Curse Livid Malcolm.

Bagay sa kaniya ang pangalan niya, KASUMPA-SUMPA! She made a long face at the thought.

And now, Joy has a single specific thing in mind. It's the annulment with her husband.

Handa na siya. Alam niya sa sariling pagkamuhi na lamang ang nararamdaman niya para rito. Matagal niya nang sinupil ang damdamin para sa manlolokong asawa. At sisiguraduhin niyang hindi na iyon manunumbalik pa!
