Ever After Contract

A merger between two families.

Unknown to them, Carlos and Cornelia are the subject of an agreement made by their grandfathers a long time ago when they were still babies.

The agreement includes a merger clause which requires them to get married or else either party will lose something that is of great importance to their families.

Hindi makapaniwala si Carlos na tuloy na tuloy na talaga ang pagpapakasal niya. Ngayon niyang nararamdaman na parang may kung anong tali na unti-unting humihigpit sa leeg niya. He tried loosening up his cravat a bit while waiting near the altar for his bride.

Nang tumunog ang bridal march, mas lalong na tense ang katawan niya.

Bumukas ang antigong pintuan ng chapel at nagsimulang humakbang si Cornelia patungong altar. Napako ang paningin ni Carlos sa kanyang mapapangasawa.
