Arrange Marriage in an Unexpected Event. I thought it only happened to the rich but I was wrong, Because it happened to me too. I'm the luckiest girl because what I dreamed of before is now mine. "Love is a Choice." He said it, there is no problem with him. he is matured enough in terms of relationship. But what if you can't give him one of his wishes and dreams? What if it was given by his former lover? What if you see him happy there because of his dream? can you be with him even if he says you are his love but they are the priority? What if you are tested by fate? You love each other but you are far away. He will choose you. Will you still fight even though the pain is already painful? "I don't want to hurt you, but they are my family now." He seriously said. So I bowed down and just cried in front of him. I can still do it but I feel that he doesn't want it anymore. "Do you want me to go away?" It was a brave question because I was hoping he would answer NO, but that's up to Asa. "That's when it's appropriate. Leave." He said the last thing to me and He turned me away. For the sake of your dream, I will do it.. I hope you will be happy when we meet again in time. I'm Christian Rana Reyes And He is Frank Lin Mondragon
I come from a poor family, my mother is a maid in the Mansion of the Mondragons, my father died early. my mother is the only one who supports me, fortunately the Mondragon family is kind so I can study because they give scholarships to the poor like us.
once I visited the Mansion because they needed someone there, it was said that the twins were going home so Don Simon and Dona Margaret got ready.
Their names alone seem scary, but before I got there, my mother told me what to do and what not to do, so I now know and I won't be afraid.
I first saw Lauter and I recognized him as brother Lauter because he was the first to come from Manila, I took care of him and brought him snacks and I felt good about him because maybe because he is kind and a friend, they will not be poor like others there.
while brother Lauter and I were talking because I was in awe of him, his brother Frank Lin Mondragon came.
I was surprised because of the angry face he showed me, amen.
"Relax bro, you're scaring me." Brother Lauter said so I looked at him.
"When are you going to learn to talk to the son of a Lauter helper?" He said seriously to brother Lauter so I bowed.
"Brother!" brother Lauter was with him but he just turned his back and nodded as if he didn't hear anything.
"Leave it alone, maybe it's just stress." Kuya Lauter warned me, so I just smiled at him.
Frank Lin is a Serious Guy doesn't smile like the world is a burden and it's scary like it's a mistake you just yell at it. I felt my heart with one hand because I felt it beat faster, I don't know I was just nervous about Frank's aura earlier which is the opposite of Lauter's brother who is happy and palangite, his face is clear.
"Come here Rana," Kuya Lauter pulled me and took me outside their house. He made me sit on the garden set table and he smiled.
"You stay there, I'll be back.". He spoke to me before turning away.
"Wait a minute brother Lauter?" I called him so he stopped.
"I'm going to work because Mom might scold me." I said to him and bowed.
"I'll take care of it Rana." He smiled at me and left me. I didn't do anything but go back to where brother Lauter made me sit.
I looked up because I felt someone watching me, our eyes met so I was surprised and stood up. There was his serious face again, I was forced to smile at him but didn't reciprocate.
"Alright Rana, sit there." Kuya Lauter spoke so I looked at him and sat down.
"What are you doing?" I asked him, so he looked at me.
"I'll draw you." He smiled and answered me so I applauded.
"Are you smart brother?" I asked him.
"It's an architect." he answered me.
"Sorry, I don't know." I also answered him because we just met.
"Don't be mischievous." He has a crush on me.
"That's my brother Lauter huh, so you have a present for me." I said more and was cute.
"Brother, how long?" I asked him a while ago because I'm also worried.
"It's almost over, just be patient Rana." he answered me and smiled.
I waited for a minute before he gave me what he did so I took it and my eyes widened because he was really good at taking me.
"Wow, brother is great." I said to him and I even jumped.
"That's just basic Rana." he answered me and ruffled my hair.
Before he said goodbye to me that he was going up to his room and he left me.
I looked up because I knew Frank Lin was still there. I smiled at him even though he didn't smile back at me.
"Baby." I said goodbye to him and waved my hand before I looked for mom and I was still holding brother Lauter's drawin
"Rana?" call me
"Rana?" The person sitting next to me called me again so I looked at him.
"I've been talking to you for a while, you're just staring." My friend Alexa and Jon Peter spoke rudely to me, who was also listening.
"What is that?" I asked him again.
"They say we have a new Professor from Harvard University for Ph.D." He said goodbye to me.
"That's just what you're saying." I answered him and lowered my seat.
"They said he was handsome and young, about 29 years old." he said to me.
"Even Lex, it's not going to change, they're still bullying me." I frowned at him.
"Because you're also being bullied." Jon answered me. maybe later my clothes will be wet again because of what they are doing to me that is not nice.
I'm really confused by this. that's why I carry an extra uniform, extra for everything in my locker because there isn't a day that poor students don't bully me, but luckily I can make ends meet because I'm in 3 years of college and they don't know that because I didn't tell them.
"Have you seen our new Professor?" Jon asked Alexa.
"They say it won't even start until tomorrow." he answered.
"I hope Prof is kind." Jon said.
"Maybe that's kind." I also told her to finish it.
"You are an Angel, Rana." they spoke to me at the same time.
The three of us have nothing to say because our class will start later, they know that I am a scholar here at the Mondragon School, so they always bully me and because they say I don't belong here. since I stepped here, my life has not been peaceful. But that's how life really is. I thought I didn't have any friends who would accept me in my condition as a poor person, but there are some. So I'm grateful to them because they're always there to protect me.
The class ended without anyone entering my room because I thought the prof called me a few times because I didn't listen to him.
"Hey life." I spat so they all looked at me.
The three of us stayed behind because that's what we do. We let them go out first because they might push me again, I still have a little more to go.
"Hey! What are you thinking girl?" Alex asked me. So I looked at him.
"Nothing, I just feel bad." I answered him. I took my cellphone because I felt it bivariate and my message tune sounded.
I read the message, so I stood up suddenly. Both of them were surprised by my reaction. He's going to pick me up, how is that? My mind asked and I scratched the back of my neck. Those two just looked at me, what else should I do?
"Aren't you going home yet?" I asked them and let them go out.
"let's go together." Jon answered as we walked out the gate.
"You go first because I have more to pass." I pretended to say to her. so they nodded to me. It's a good thing they didn't ask me. They said goodbye just in time because their pick-ups had also arrived.
Frank's car stopped in front of me for a few minutes, I was surprised because there were many more people coming out. so before I got on board, I made sure that no one could see me, maybe this will be an issue again tomorrow.
I kissed her lips before I sat down.
"How's your studies baby?" He asked me and fixed my seatbelt.
"It's okay baby.It's still normal school." I answered him and kissed his cheek. I love kissing his part of face, he likes it. That's why I just smiled, because he was just my dream before and now he's mine.
"Where do you want to eat?" he asked me.
"Anywhere as long as you're with me." I answered him but he just smiled.
A strong wind lifted the white curtain covering the large window in the room where Louisiana, or Siana, was situated. Following that, the sunlight streamed in, fully awakening her. Silence greeted Siana as she opened her eyes, only to be met by the white ceiling. She tried to survey the room, but all she saw was a small table next to her bed and a couch. There were no displays or decorations to make the room visually pleasing. She furrowed her brow slightly, and tears began to trickle down her cheeks. "Siana!" a voice suddenly emerged from the emptiness, and she shifted her gaze to the woman who had just entered. "Am I alive?" she asked herself more than anyone else. She had wished for death, and she had come very close to it, so how had she ended up living? "Lia..." she called out to the woman. She wanted to speak and say so many things, but her tears silenced her, and they caught in her throat. She attempted to move, but the pain became excruciating. Her entire body felt as if it were being crushed. Looking at herself, she noticed various machines and devices attached to her. She couldn't move her legs or hands; they seemed paralyzed. "I'll call the Doctor for you," Lia said before leaving to summon the doctor. Minutes later, a doctor and a nurse arrived, examining her condition. The doctor let out a sigh. "You need to rest for now. We'll conduct more tests tomorrow." "I've been resting for..." "A year," the doctor added, leaving Siana stunned. "You still need to rest. We'll run some tests again tomorrow." The doctor and nurse exited the room, leaving Siana with Lia, who was speechless. "Siana..." "A year? A whole year has passed, and I'm still alive?" she angrily asked herself. "Siana, about..." Siana abruptly stopped crying and realized several things. "Where is he?" she asked, her gaze fixed on Lia. Lia shifted her gaze and walked to the open window, unable to answer the question. "Rest and gain some strength. We'll wait for you in Sierra," Lia said seriously before leaving the room. Siana wanted to stop her friend from leaving but lacked the strength. She was now an invalid, unable to do much, including thinking clearly. "Ryou..." she whispered into the wind. She closed her eyes and reminisced about a time when everything had been normal.

When you're the only one who loves? -- I'm never gonna let you close to me. Even though you mean the most to me. 'Cause every time I open up, it hurts. So I'm never gonna get too close to you. -- "How painful is it to be ignored? How foolish is love? How painful is it to beg for their love? -- Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry.

PROLOGUE "That boy is a monster!" "I saw how he broke the metal!" "I also saw how he ran so fast!" The people who surrounded a large mansion shouted. Inside the house is the crying girl with her parents. "Mommy, I didn't mean it!" Child denial. His mother caressed his white and pale skin. "Shh... I know that." "Vaira, we have to leave before the situation gets worse." His wife said seriously. The woman thought deeply. "I know where we're going to send him. He'll be safer there." The young Zephyrie looked at them silently. His physical appearance is different than normal children. apart from its pale skin, it also has white shoulder-length hair, red lips and mixed blue and red eyes. Strange. "We will send him to his grandmother and he will be admitted to a school run by his mother." The woman suggested to her husband who agreed. "At the school of his fellow vampires."
Prologue There are things in this world that we cannot see clearly. Sometimes they are just people's imaginations and you may only read about them in books. Hiding because they know people will not understand them when they see them. evil but sometimes does inexplicable good. Things that.... Things? They are not suitable, what am I saying? They are not compatible. But not human either. Not a vampire like Edward Cullen, and not a werewolf like Van Helsing. they're not like Harry Potter, they don't have a magic wand. They are not aliens with superpowers either, because they are not superheroes in the first place. Angel? Looks like an angel, yes. But in person, my grandmother's eyes are still vague. Well! What are they? They are called aLICHINO, and don't even know who and what they are. Just sleep or play play station. Or just go to Facebook and add your crush. when you come home at night from school or work, avoid dark places especially if you see suspicious people, especially if they are handsome. There is a right time for kalandian. Don't even stop by the Ministop to buy a Cornetto, just let it open. and above all, don't ask for anything from someone you don't know. What if he can bring back your dead Poodle. Everything has a price. Don't imitate my stupidity. This is a warning! love your precious life before somebody takes it from you, the way it almost did to me. Be curious on a right way or else there'll be a hell to pay.
Prologue "Mom, Dad, are you sending me away? Why are they packing my things? I thought that the reason why you want me to come back here? Because you want me to spend some time with you guys? then now what? Are you kicking me out?" They didn't pay attention to me, they just looked at our helpers who were putting my things in the car. Seriously? I hope I don't just go home here, I enjoyed New York as a model. I just went home yesterday because they sent me home and now this is going to happen? I looked at my brother as he was busy on his phone so I picked it up. "Brother, do you know what Mom and Dad are doing?" It looked at me bored." I don't know maybe they rejected you." he didn't want to answer. It's really ugly, as if it was conceived out of spite. "You never change! You are still so rude and mean!" I walked out. It's annoying that my sister and I don't really get along, which I think was conceived out of spite. I leave what happened to him why did he change? He wasn't like that to me before. "Where do you think you're goin'?" It calls to me. "In hell brother, in your kingdom. Want to come with me?" I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes at him. "Tsk!" I heard He said and continued with what he was doing on his cell phone. "Brute!" I said annoyed and walked away from him. "Cassandra, Diego get inside the car now!" Our good father shouted before I could get away. I went in and my brother son of satan also followed. I would like to ask where we are going or should I say where they will take me? But I just didn't do it because they wouldn't answer me either. We were silent the whole trip, I could feel the tension that something bad was going to happen that day. After a few hours of driving, our car stopped at a big house. It's beautiful, it's obviously brand new, are they going to let me live here? But why are there cars parked here? We went downstairs and I immediately looked around the house. After a while some helpers came out, they took my things and put them inside, I really don't know what was going through my parents' mind? Dad and Mom went in first, then me and my brother. I was amazed at how beautiful it was when we finally got inside the house. This is my dream house, this is the house I want when I have my own family. we were greeted by a couple about the same age as our parents, they said hello and Mom introduced us here. "This is Diego and Cassandra our children." Mom while smiling. We did the same. I was surprised when Mrs. Braganza suddenly touched my face. "You are really perfect for him." This surprised me. Perfect for him? Wait, I don't get it? I was about to ask when someone suddenly spoke behind us. "Sorry I'm late." Said the baritone voice. I turned around, I saw a very handsome man wearing an expensive tux. his like a Greek God with a very expressive silver eyes. When our gazes meet, it's like hypnotism, it's like his eyes have a spell that you can't look away from? and when he smiled, my heart suddenly beat faster. Shit what's wrong with you heart? just freaking calm down! "Oh my son is here, let's start this ceremony?" Mr. Braganza said. That brought me back to my senses and I just averted my eyes from him even though my cells in my body didn't want it. we all went to the dining area I was surprised that there were many different dishes of food served. While I was busy looking at the food served on the long table. My brother's son of satan smirked so I turned to him and gave him a questioning look. he raised an eyebrow and slapped his forehead when I didn't understand what he meant to convey to me. "Take your seat, hija." Mrs. kindly said. Braganza and that's when I noticed that I was still standing. I didn't even realize that they were all sitting down. I was about to sit down when I saw that there was no other seat except next to him. I smiled and sat next to the man with the beautiful eyes. I inhaled his fragrant masculine scent. His manly expensive cologne gives shivers down my spine. it doesn't hurt the nose, it's just good to smell it.... it's addictive. We ate in silence when Daddy spoke. I leave why I was nervous? "So as from now Cassandra? your staying here with Lyde Kenjun Braganza, its time to fulfill your responsibility as his wife..."blah...blah..blah... I can't understand anything other than what Dad is saying, the only thing registered in my brain is Its time to fulfill your responsibility as his wife Its time to fulfill your responsibility as his wife its time to fulfill your responsibility as his wife Its time to fulfill your responsibility as his wife Its time to fulfill your responsibility as his wife Its time to fulfill your responsibility as his wife "Its time to fulfill my responsibility his what-wife?
Prologue My hand was shaking as I left the bathroom. I hid the Pregnancy Test in the pocket of my pants before leaving the room. as usual, I'm the only one here in our huge house. I sat on the sofa and stopped the sobs that I had been holding in for a while. I took the pt out of my pocket and two red lines were revealed to me. *thud!* I immediately turned to face the door as it opened violently. My husband entered as if a woman was there. Nothing but its attachment. But in this household, I look like a fixture. "A-ahh Ki-Kione. A-you're here" I said and stood up. he just stared at me blankly and he moved his eyes to the girl with him. "Let's go babe. We're just wasting time to her" he said coldly and led the girl into his room. I immediately smiled brightly and wiped my runaway tears. I went to the garage and got into my car. I immediately turned it on and I just drove by drive. I want to go away especially now that we have children. I know he doesn't care about it. He despises me a lot. and I cannot bare to see my soon to be child being miserable because his/her dad hates his/her mom a lot. I don't want to hurt it. I'm a bitch, just don't let him.
