He touched it gently, but his eyes glittered fire. The men below who saw everything stop what they are doing. Some even make a sign of the cross. Deafening silence descended on the pirates as they saw him being punched by a woman. They waited for his move.

THE WEDDING GOWN UNHOLY INTENTION
CHAPTER 9 Gabi woke up feeling seasick due to the movement of the boat. She can hear the creaking of the woods and the laughter and banter of the pirates outside the captain's room. She groaned and lay down on her tummy to press the nauseating feeling she felt. It seems everything was moving, including her mood. She closed her eyes to shut off the moving space as the boat rocked from massive waves. "Oh God, I'm going to be sick." She groaned. She felt like vomiting, but the idea of doing the unthinkable with Theo's cabin could blow his fuse. After hijacking his bed and making him sleep on a hammock, Gabi was stretching his graciousness. She remembered very clearly what happened last night. She was laughing so hard while crying at the same time. Theo watched her calmly until she subsided from momentary madness."Are you okay now?" Theo asked gently. "I feel I'm in a beater. The stress of being in this situation was too much for m
THE WEDDING GOWN ABDUCTED
Chapter 8 Gabi stayed still inside the jute sack. She was already awake when the two kidnappers hauled her on the horse. Gabi tried to wiggle her way out, but her hands and feet were tied too tight. This incident must be a horror movie, she thought hysterically. Losing her life before she could go home paralyzed her with fear. Goodness, she would die not being kissed! "Hauled her up, gently!" she heard an elderly voice command the younger man, but its warning was too late; he dropped her like a sack of potato to the floor. Gabi bit the cloth tied to her mouth to stop herself from gagging on her saliva."Dios Mio! Can't you be more careful?""I'm sorry, Senor." He heard the apologetic voice of the young man. "Is she still alive?" A hand tried to feel her heartbeat. Gabi squirmed to avoid the hand he put on her breast. The man laughed, "Well, it looks like she is still breathing."Footsteps were coming. The two men fell silent a
THE WEDDING GOWN FIESTA FEVER
CHAPTER 7 Oscar was dumbfounded at Gabi's story. They were seated under a mango tree away from the noisy merriment of the fiesta. When she told her about her story, he almost walk-out on her. "Do you think I would believe such lies, Senorita?" He gulped the wine. She looked at him calmly. She understands his first reaction when she tells him about his misfortune—especially coming from someone in his future. "I wished it is a lie, Senor. But it is the truth. You're going to give up all your wealth by gambling. After your foolish decision, your family will suffer, not until with my father. He managed to rise above from the total despair of our family." "For your information, senorita, your s

" Gabi smiled at Maya. "I feel like a young princess. " "You are beautiful, Senorita. The young hacienderos would love you. Soon you would also be engaged like Senora Juliana." &n
THE WEDDING GOWN MISTRESS OF THE GOWN
CHAPTER 6 Juliana Mariano stared at her closely, studying her face with much interest. She smiled at her. “Raphael was right, your beautiful.” She blushed. She can’t understand why would a handsome stranger like Raphael Marquez called her beautiful. “I’m sure your betrothed was just being polite.” Both Maya and Juliana laughed. She was surprised by their reaction. “Have I said something funny?” Raphael’s fiancée blushed, “I’m sorry to offend you. We just found it funny that Raphael was being polite. He always believes in saying it straight, whether you like it or not. He can offend people at times and come out as arrogant, but he is a wonderful man.” &
THE WEDDING GOWN MEETING FATE
CHAPTER 4 Horses!? She watched the approaching animals and their rider coming towards her. It was so close that the dust on its heels envelope her and suffocated her. She could only stare in disbelief. Then someone dragged and rolled with her on the side path and they rolled together into the six feet side ditch. He put his hand on his mouth and his whole body pinning her to the wet grassy ground. She can hear the long procession of horses passing by. She cannot look since the man with her pinned her like a vise. She could only stare at his cold black eyes, and his lower face covered with a black bandana to hide his identity. The longer she stayed pinned by his body, the feel of uncomfortable feeling heating her. She can feel the strength and the leanness of him but she was too terrified to move less he would hurt her. The last contingent of the riders passes them by without a hitched. W
