Chapter 3
"Lady Diane..." Diane rolled her eyes and put the last piece of her earing on her right ears before looking at herself to her vanity mirror fixing her messy hair. Malawak ang kanyang naging ngiti ng ma-satisfied siya sa kanyang ayos.
Her make up is not that thick. Sakto lang ito sa kanyang bilugan na mukha, her eyes are sprakling green and her dress is extravagantly sexy. Agad siyang tumayo at lumapit sa kanyang kama upang kunin ang kanyang shoulder bag, she wore it, walked to the door and opened it for Jude.
"I'm ready." Sarcastic niyang sabi bago nilagpasan ang binata.
"My lady your dress...." Nakangiwing wika ni Jude. "Is it supposed to be black?"
She smiled wickedly before leaving her condo and walking towards the elevator. Make up niya lang yata ang light dahil hindi talaga siya sanay sa nude and dark make up.
"What's wrong with my dress?" She said looking at her body on the elevator's mirror. "It's beautiful."
Jude just sighed and let her be.
"Ipag-luluksa ko na ang pagiging single ko I'm getting an unwanted marriage anyway."
Hindi na lang kumibo si Jude at hinayaan ang dalaga sa nais nito. Even him don't want to see Diane getting tied to someone she doesn't want, she doesn't like. Ever since Diane were just a little he's always by her side.
"Who is the lucky bastard anyway? The luck b***h who will marry a Lopez heiress." She said as Jude opened the passenger seat for her.
Jude smile before jogging towards the driver seats. "He's no lucky to marry a sas!" He said and chuckled.
"A Sas?" Diane smirked. "He's not marrying a sas. His marrying a b***h!"
Jude gulped and glance at Diane before speeding away. He knew Diane since they were a kid, pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya parin mabasa ang nasa isip ng dalaga.
"You are planning something?" He asked.
Diane just shrugged before looking at the window leaving the car in silence until Jude park the car in front of a restaurant.
"Don't messed up Diane." Wika ni Jude bago tumingin sa kanya.
"I'm already a mess Jude. What's the point?" She said and stepped out of the car.

Nang makapasok sa loob ng resto at karamihan sa mga tao ang sumulyap sa kanya, her outfit attracts them maski ang cute niyang summer black hat ay agaw pansin din dahil sa laki nito.
"Table for how many ma'am?" A waitress said.
"I'm with Mr. Montemayor," she said. "Nandito na ba siya?"
Agad naman na tumango ang waitress at tinuro sa kanya ang daan. Private room ang nakalaan para sa kanila, automatic ng umikot ang kanyang mata habang nag lalakad palapit sa pinto pero bago pa siya tuluyang makalapit ay may nakabangga na sa kanya.
"My god! Are you blind?" Eksaherada niyang wika bago inayos ang medyo nalukot na damit.
"Wala ka naman kasi sa beach nag summer hat kapa ng napaka laki." The man said.
"What?!" Gigil niyang wika bago binalingan ang lalaking nakabangga sa kanya pero mas lalo yata siyang nanggalaiti sa galit ng makita ang lalaki. "You?! Sinusundan mo ba ako?!"
The man infront of her chuckled mischievously before putting his hands inside his pocket.
"Look here Sas." He said and smile that made Diane froze. "Hindi lang ikaw ang may karapatang mag punta, at kumain dito."
"Mukha kang walang pera, so yes! Wala kang karapatan." Irap niya at mabilis na nag lakad palapit sa pinto para pumasok pero bago pa niya mahawakan ang door knob ay nauna na ang lalaki na nakabangga sa kanya.
"Please tell me that you are not after this room." Namumutlang wika nito.
Diane rolled her eyes before tappin the mans hand away from the door.
"Then I won't." She said and lead herself inside. Agad siyang naupo sa silya at inilapag ang hawak na shoulder bag before taking her hat off.
"S-sino ang hinihintay mo?"
Mas lalong sumama ang mukha ni Diane ng muling mag salita ang lalaki. Her eyes snapped to him, nakatayo ito sa may pinto habang nakatingin sa kanya.
"Don't tell me na hanggang dito susundan mo ako? Hindi ka marunong mag basa?" She said and look at the door. "Private. Room!"
"I can clearly read you Sas!" Wika naman nito bago bagsak ang balikat na nag lakad palapit sa lamesa at naupo sa katapat niyang silya.
"What the hell?! What are you doing? Lumabas kana bago pa ako tumawag ng guards at ipakaladkad ka!"
But the man did not budge, instead he relaxed himself on the chair and massage his temple.
"This is a pain in the ass." He whispered.
"What?" Gigil niyang wika but realization snapped through her before looking at the man whose now smiling from ear to ear. "N-no––, I–– it can't be!"
"Yes it can. Don't act as if I like it," pagak niyang wika. "Hindi ako puwedeng matali sa isang baliw na kagaya mo."
"Wait what? Baliw? Akala mo din ba gusto matali sa isang supot na kagaya mo? Asa ka naman!" Gigil niyang wika. Gusto na niyang damputin ang bread knife na nasa lamesa at itarak sa lalamunan ng lalaking kaharap.
"This marriage is gonna be a messed."
"It will be hell! Just say it, nag pa sikot-sikot kapa." She said at sinandal ang likod sa upuan. "We have to stop this marriage, Hindi ako papayag na maikasal sa isang kagaya mo."
"Hindi ka na lugi kung itsura ang basihan, at kung usaping s*x naman. Hell baby, I can make you scream in pure Bliss."
Umakyat ang lahat ng dugo ni Diane sa kanyang pisngi sa sinabing iyon ng binata. Gigil na dinampot niya ang wine na nasa lamesa bago ito binuhos sa ulo ng binata.
"Bastos kang supot ka!"
The man chuckled and took a table napkin to wipe the wine, pero ang stain nito ay nanatili na sa kanyang damit.
"Call me supot again. I will kiss you right here, right now." He said and smirked.

"I cannot marry that douche!" Inis na wika ni Diane. "You choose someone else, but not him."
"What's wrong with Cloud Montemayor."
"Seriously? Cloud? Pati pangalan pangit!" Irap niya. "I won't marry that son of a gun."
"Then we will held the wedding as soon as possible."
"What?! Nakikinig kaba sakin? I said that i don't want to marry that man!"
"You are not in-charge here."
Gusto niyang mag wala habang nakatingin sa ama na malamig din ang tingin sa kanya.
"Really?" Mapang hamon niyang wika. "You will really pursue that man? Why?"
Her father shrugged his ahoulder before leaning to his swivel chair.
"He's a Montemayor, marami silang businesses na hawak inside and outside the country. If my only daughter would marry their eldest son then we can reign the business industry inside the country."
Malamig ang tingin ni Diane habang nakatingin sa kanyang ama. Her heart broke at what her father said.
"Ganoon lang ba talaga tingin mo samin? Na we are some kind of business to you?"
Hindi ito sumagot at nanatili ang malamig na tingin sa kanya.
"Sure." She said and smile wickedly. "But don't blame me for all the troubles it will bring you and this Family, Nakakasuka."
Padabog na tumayo si Diane mula sa pag kakaupo at nag martya paalis. Her day were mow ruined, inis siyang nag lakad upang tunguhin ang sasakyan dahil kating kati na ang mga paa niya na umalis sa mansion na iyon, if it was her she won't call it a home. A prison cell maybe.
Nang makasakay ay mabilis niyang pinaandar paalis ang kanyang sasakyan. She took her phone out when it rings and answered vthe phone call.
"What?!"
"Relax Diane." Keana said and chuckled.
"Hey! I'm sorry about that, do you need anything?"
"Wala naman, I just called to ask how is your day went so far?" She said. It's just Keana being sweet again.
Malamin siyang bumuntong hininga. How her day went? She's glad Keana asked but it's too much to be a burden for her, ayaw na niyang dagdagan ang alalahanin ng kaibigan.
"Just—tired."
"May problema ba Diane?" She whispered."You know you can talk to me right?"
Diane smiled.
"I know you got my back." She said. "I'm just tired, you know party!"
Rinig niya ang mahinang pag tawa ni Keana.
"Alright then. I gotta go, my kids are in crazy mode again."
"Okay, see you when i see you!" She said and wait for Keana to hang up.
Nang maiparada ang sasakyan ay mabilis siyang lumabas, gusto niya sa ng mag club but she's too tired. Kaya't kahit ayaw pa umuwi ay napilitan siyang umuwi.
"Hi wifey!"
Agad na sumama ang mukha niya ng makita ang hudyo niyang 'fiance' na nakasandal sa may tani ng pinto niya.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito? And how did you even know my place?" She said.
Cloud Montemayor chuckled and shook his head. Wala na yatang tatalo sa kamalditahan ng babaeng kaharap niya.
"Wifey, ang init naman ng ulo–—"
Pero hindi na niya natapos ang sasabihin malakas na ibagsak ni Diane ang pinto leaving his mouth hanged opened.
"Diane Lopez!" Malakas niyang wika habang paulit ulit na kumakatok. "Diane Elizabeth Lop—"
"What?!" Gigil na wika ng dalaga ng muli nito buksan ang pinto. "Don't call me by that name! Hindi tayo close! Saka ano bang kailangan mo?"
"I have a proposal to ma—"
"No! Now get lost!" Wika nito at isasara na sana muli ang pinto ngunit mabilis na hinarang ni Cloud ang kanyang katawan.
"Ouch! T-teka masakit!"
"Masasaktan ka talaga kapag hindi ka lumayas dito!"
"M-mag usap lang tayo, hindi ako aray! Diane masakit!"
Diane sighed in annoyance before letting go of the door.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Hindi mo man lang ba ako papapasukin." Nakasimangot na wika ni Cloud habang hinihilot ang braso nito na naipit sa pinto.
"No! So you better start talking, may 10 seconds ka para mag salita dahil kung hindi ka lalayas dito ipakaladkad kita paalis."
"Kaladkad agad? First of all you can't do that, second— we need to stop this wedding!" Malakas na sigaw ni Cloud dahil pag sasarhan nanaman siya ng pinto ng dalaga.
"We can't get married! We might kill each other on our honeymoon if we ended up together."
Nanatali any poker face na mukha ni Diane habang nakatingin kay Cloud.
"Sa tingin mo ba hindi ko naisip yon?" Sarcastic na wika nito.
"Ahm. You did?" He said.
"Saka kana bumalik dito kung may plano kana kung paano mahihinto ang kasal na'to. Habang wala pa, manatili kang malayo sa paningin ko dahil Nakakasuka yang mukha mo."
"Let me remind you that you kissed me on our first meeting. Buti dika nasuka?" He said sarcastically.
"I did vomit that night!" She hissed. "Get lost!"
