Chapter 24: Not Normal

SHE drunk straight her beer and wiped the side of her lips. Muli niyang tinitigan si Pierce at sa kabila ng paninikip ng kaniyang dibdib nararamdaman niyang may kaonting saya pa rin ang bumabalot doon.

She's scared for the thought that she already missed her chances. Sa huli, babagsak pa rin siya kay Pierce. Sa huli, ang tanging paraan para mabawi ang kanilang kompanya at mabayaran ang pagkakautang ng kanilang pamilya ay ang pakasalan niya ito.

Pierce might be a good person. But her heart doesn'twant to take a risk. She doesn't want to learn to trust again.

She doesn't want to dream for something she's not able to reach.

"I'll never be a perfect wife, Pierce." Malamig at mahina niyang turan.

"I'll never be perfect. I'm not even sure if I could be a good person to you. I'm not the best.. so, I'm afraid that, you'll regret your decisions someday." She smiled bitterly.
