Don't Let Go Trilogy #1
• • • •
When I was just 5 years old, I used to love grandma's stories. Like, having an arranged marriage and being in love.
It was magical but now that I really think about it, it's a bit silly.
Why? It's simple. Less freedom.
Girlfriends. Boyfriends. Sleep-overs. Parties. Journeys. You can't possibly do all of those things when your hands are tied.
Besides, what if you don't love that person? And that you'll never, ever, learn to love that person? Can't you choose the person that your heart wants instead?
Seriously, love is complicated.

Kira Castelle is an amiable, easy-to-talk-to, and a laid-back 17 year old lady that has sworn to put love aside and continue reaching for her dreams.
Not until a perfect storm happened.
When females turn 18 and males turn 21, they are assigned a marriage partner by the government.
With this, they just have to wait for the country to find their compatible partner and become happy.
When Kira Castelle finally turned 18, she has to meet her partner.
Neal Valastro.
A drop-dead gorgeous man of stone.
He's the epitome of perfection and Kira's polar opposite.
The problem is, will this work out just fine for Kira?
Will she ever be Ready? or Not?

I am going to be the death of him? Why? Did I choke him? Of course not." I whispered while walking down the hall and into the elevator.Does he really hate choco floats for him to act that way? Maybe he was referring to it when he said something about his death or something or maybe he doesn't really want to share.Shouldn't be surprised when it's Neal.I decided to buy water for the both of us so I exited the room. He asked me where I was going but I just told him that I'll buy something so I forgot to ask if there was a cafeteria in this place or perhaps some store.Well, there has to be. It isn't impossible after all if there really is. Not in this company of his.I am now in t

Chapter: Chapter 30: Indirect KissIndirect Kiss• • • • •"As you were saying about a while ago?" Neal asked. He tapped the invisible dust on his dark-colored plain suit and fixed his necktie.He has a pretty good memory."Err, I forgot about it." I looked up at the floor indicator and luckily there was a 'bing' sound, signifying that we are on the sixth floor.We stepped outside and wow, I was amazed. There were a lot of models—men and women all around the place. They were in different clothes, the others going in and out of a room. I have also seen a lot of photographers--which I knew right away since they were carrying their cameras with them.They were all busy until someone saw Neal and greeted him and in just a split second, all eyes were on him."Good afternoon, sir!""Welcome back sirrrr!""Holly molly, it's

Chapter: Chapter 29: SoykelSoykel• • • • •"We're here."He said. I looked in front of us and saw a very huge company. There was a sign in front that's made of gold saying,"Davs? What does that mean? How do you read it?"It's actually The V's. Means The Valastro's. The Valastro's modeling company. It was technically my mother's company passed on to me. She made the name so I decided to keep it in memory of her.""Ohh." I didn't ask about it any further. We parked right in front of it, where a sign says 'for the family only.'Neal hastily went out of the car and went to my side. He opened the door for me again. I stepped outside and inhaled the scent of flowers that were nearby. I could tell that he really loves nature."I'll carry it." He said as he took the paper bags that I was carrying.What a gentleman.I followed

Chapter: Chapter 28: DaV'sDaV's• • • • •I became speechless. Well, obviously Kira, the song is for you since you have requested it. But maybe what he really meant is the other meaning that I'm still trying to understand?"Thank you. That's...wonderful." That was all I could say. Sighing out of disappointment, he stood up from his seat and looked at me deep in the eyes as if trying to tell me something through staring that he can't possibly say out loud but failed in the process.He sighed once again. I tilted my head to the side, confused by what he was trying to convey to me."You are still confused. But not for long. I'll show you so that you'll understand.""Understand what? Why don't you just tell me? I'll listen.""You'll listen but you won't understand. You'll have doubts if I would tell you so it's best if I'd show it to

Chapter: Chapter 27: Sing Me a SongSing Me a Song• • • • •"Which should I press first..." I placed my hands on the thingy, imitating the move that I have seen from movies, and pressed it smoothly.It made a loud sound, making me spun around to check the door and sighed in relief when I don't see him there.I pressed another again and stopped when I've realized that something is missing. "Emotions!" I blurted. Oh right, I almost forgot about it.I laughed at my forgetfulness and suddenly remembered Kousei from Your Lie in April.He was beyond amazing even though the music he played were all classical songs which I'm not totally familiar with but still, the way he played the piano, it was full of emotions. He looked like a rockstar. He was banging his head from different angles and pressing his hands on the piano like he was drumming. It felt like something inside me has connected with Kousei while watching hi

Chapter: Chapter 26: Curiosity Curiosity• • • • •After all, it surely is still rare seeing him like this so without a second thought, I grabbed the opportunity and did as what he had told me to. It was not long after time has passed and he was fast asleep."Cutie." I smiled at him. His action was so precious that I want to just protect him from anything bad that could taint his innocence - which is already impossible since he has already chosen a path, but even so, I want to bring back the genuineness that he once had. If he doesn't want to, then I'll find and do it my way.I placed both of my hands on my chest and squeezed myself more into him. He moved closer to me too and tightened his arm that was wrapped around me as I close my eyes and fell asleep.• • • •"Old man? Where are you?" My voice echoed through the big and empty space while I
