He smiled evilly at me. Then he stood up. Looks like he’s enjoying the view that I’m panicking. I’M SO NERVOUS! GET ME OUT OF HERE AHHHHHH!
“As I was saying,” he looked away trying to hide a smile, obviously, “we don’t have to do the wedding ceremony. We don’t have to perform the veil. We just have to sign the documents, the certificate of marriage, and we have to change your surname to mine. You’ll be Mrs. Villamorannas in an instant. Just like that. Also, send me your bank account so that I can transfer money to you. We also have to shop for your clothes. You’ll also move in with me. You’ll be with me in all events, you’re gonna introduce yourself as my woman, as my wife. We need to act as if we are inlove or what soever that couples do.”
My jaw dropped at his straight statement. He didn’t even stutter! I just stayed like that for a few seconds before I closed my mouth. I still need some time to process and let these things sink in my mind!
“Does that mean we can kiss?! Why the fuck did you just kisss me!” I asked out in the middle of his statement. Shesh this is shocking the hell out of me!
The side of his lips rose.I can’t tell if hes shocked or amazed or both! Now what? Don’t even think that I like the idea you punk!
He
kissed
me.
That was my first kiss!!!
I don't know how to feel!
Is it normal that i remembered how it feels like? Is it bad that it feels good? Is this feeling normal when you get you're first kiss? Is it bad that I'm in to it? Someone please tell me AHHHHHHH!
“Well, if there a need to. But even if there no need but you want to, sure. Why not?”
There goes his evil smile again!
“Of course not! But, but…… only when there are people right.When there are people looking! Then…. then we don’t need physical contact where there’s non with us! Right?”
“Well, yes. So don’t worry. I ain’t even attracted to you, you know?You’re not my type. It seems that you don’t know how to brush your hair, you don’t have a sense of fashion, well you do have. But it still doesn’t pass on my standards of a woman. I can say you’re pretty, but not quite. You’re a not so special woman.”
Wow. What is wrong with him? This man is getting into my nerves! He just humiliated me right in my face!
"Then why did you kiss me?! That's my first kiss do you know that? Huh? I hate you! That’s more than 3 insults you just threw right in my face you man! Do you even think I am attracted to you? No!”
"You seem to like your first kiss? How do can you say you hate me by that? And, those aren't insults, it's an opininion, and the truth too."
Will I really marry a man like him? Will I really marry him?! Shesh! I don’t stuck in a commitment like this! With this? This man? Seriously? I want to cry! Huhuhuhu
“I’ll give you some time to process this on your mind. But you don’t have to think about it. Whatever you think, this will happen.The decision is final. You’ll marry me. You’ll be my wife. I did you a favor, you do me a favor. That’s how simple it is.”
I
Can’t
Do
It.
Then the double doors opened. Collin entered there with a tray of foods. Maybe when I’m not hungry anymore I will function and think well, right?
“Good morning Sir.”
Then she placed the tray in the table, she didn’t say any words after that. She then went out instantly. I need somebody to talk to! Not this man!
But although I’m so hungry, I can’t eat. I lost my appetite. I can’t move. I hope this is just a nightmare damn!
“Eat it now, I’ll just attend a meeting. I’ll comeback for dinner. We should dinner together. I have a lawyer doing the papers that we need to sign now. I’ll also be exposing you to the public. Well not the press or any media. Just the company. I gotta go. Please behave in here, woman. I don’t want to go back into a messy office.”
Then he walked towards the door and and it opened.
Another insult wth? Why should he be like that?
Whatever he say I’m still so pretty!
I took a deep breath, and then sunk it all in my head. I just hope I don’t die doing this. I’m marrying him. But first, I need to know why he wants to have a wife that instant. A man like him, doesn’t need a wife to be happy. He can have all the woman he would want in just a tap. Even without a commitment.So why should he marry? Of all the girls in this whole entire world. Why me? Is he numb or what? Is he that disgusting? That he can even marry a girl he just met. Doesn’t he have a girl in his heart? Well that’s imposible. In that age, he might have felt love before. Because you can’t help but to fall inlove even in just a young age. It’s truly imposible if he haven’t experienced having a girlfriend before. Even just once.
"I want to go out," I said that made him turn his head to me.
"You will really go out later. I won't let you stay here for long."
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah I know! Because I don't want here either! But I mean I wanna go out now! What will do here?!"
He just raised an eyebrow at me and left.
Amira's POV I reached out for the tray of mouth-watering foods that are on the table. This looks so yummy! I tried first the fries, and I don’t know if this is from mcdonalds or what. But this is fire! I also ate the whole burger, and all of the foods here. Wow that’s yummy! I wiped my mouth after I ate. Only 15 minutes have passed since I have been left alone in this office. I looked around again. What should I do? This is boring. Well, not until my eyes landed on the books. SO MANY BOOKS! I want to read! I stood up the sofa and half run to the books. Damn all my fav’s are here! This is heaven! I got a book entitled ‘The stars of us’. Just as I was about to read the first page of the book, my phone vibrated from my pocket. Ohhh, it’s Elocin. I know what she wants, probably can wait to hear what I was gonna say so she would like to talk about it on the phone. Gosh! “Hello” I answered. “Hi! I just got home! I don’t have anything important to do
Elexier’s POV: “I want you to fix this Elexier. I don’t want any trouble here. Make sure it’s all alright in a week. If not, I bet you already know what will happen to you.” his voice is serious although it's not loud, you can hear the power and emphasis. *Phone beeps* He ended the call as soon as he spit those words. I furiously put my phone back to my pocket and took a deep breath. I placed my hand on my forehead trying to calm down and think properly. I am driving to my company and just stopped to answer the call. Living in this world coming from this kind of family is exhausting. But I can't do anything. This is the life I have. I have to life the rest of my life with them. Or do I? I took a deep breath again and the engine of my car roared to life when I finally started it again. There is a problem in the plane where our drugs are kept. Not ours, actually. His, my Dad. I don’t want to do this. I didn’t want to. I have never want to. I didn’t imag
Amira’s POV I reached the Villamorannas company by this day's afternoon. I looked at the whole of the building from outside, This building is extremely huge. But that is not shocking. They zae one of the biggest in the country. Or maybe even in the whole Asia. I walked towards the door. As I was about to eneter, the jtwo tall guards stopped me. "Excuse me Ma'am, do you have a pass?" One of them said that made me stop. I didn't know that they need a pass here to get in? I scartched my neck nervously. As I couldn't show them anything, I just pretended that I am finding something in my bag. "Good morning Sir," the two guards said at the same time to someone who I think is behind me. I looked back because maybe I'm blocking his way. When I looked back, I saw the familiar face of that one guy who saved me from the taxi driver. My eyes widened in shock. They called him sir so that means he really works here! "What's happening here?" he then sp
Elexier’s POV I may not show it, but damn I’m so embarrassed that she have read those files! Frick! Next time I won’t leave such things on my desk! Frick! At the elevator, good thing she remained silent and did not tease me about what she saw. In her personality, if I’m a close friend of her, I know she’ll tease me. And I can say, she has a good attitude. I have a camera on my office. I can clearly see her and hear her. I heard what she and her friend talk about in the phone. I know that I’m violating her privacy, but I can’t help but to admit that she’s lively and funny. She also get’s shy easily. Earlier, I locked her in between my arms while I’m leaning on the bookshelves. Funny and I guess, cute? I don’t know. All I know is she blushed. I can see how hot her cheeks are that time. It’s a new thing to me. I never made Athena’s cheeks blush before. I didn’t even know if I’ve already made her hearth flutter. It’s just that they are so different. Athena is intimidatin
Elexier is a bad person. He is mafia. And I was very scared of him at first. Who wouldn’t be? He can kill me anytime he wants, beat me up or anything he wanted. But, he is also soft I guess, he fires employee whenever he wants, but he gives them last salary worth 3 months of their work. I know because I have read in his table. He isn’t all bad after all. I was just staring at the window when I suddenly felt hunger. Ugh! I just ate! But I’m hungry again huhu. No Amira, hold that! I continued watching the view avoiding to think about food, but, I thing a cold Ice crream will be so tasty as the sun shines so bright and it’s so hot. Then the taste of McDonalds buger and fries will also be good uhmmm. Huhu I’m so hungry. I looked at Elexier who is also facing the window. And ohhh! A little trivia. I made him smile earlier! I thought he’s the kind of guy who always intimidate people, a kind of person who isn’t built to smile. Just poker face all the time. But heck no
Elexier’s POV It makes me think, should I still let my family do this stuff? I know I’m not a good person all in all, but I am also not that bad to let all this continue to run and grow. I don’t want to let my family down. I don’t want them to be imprisoned. But I also don’t want what they are doing. I don’t know what to do damn. I’m educated. I know the harmful effects of drugs to a person. And it also ruins their life. Many people are being sent to jail, or worse, being killed just because of that. Dad loves to see people dying. He kills people. I still remember how he killed a family in the park. In front of me. A Husband and his wife, and their 5 year-old daughter. “Uhm Elexier, well, uhh sorry. I shouldn’t have made us go in there. I didn’tknow it was gonna happen.” Amira suddenly spoke in the middle the debate on my head. I was shocked for a bit beacuse why is she saying sorry, and I am also not used to a girl apologizing to me. “
Elexier’s POV Amira refused when I told her that she should move in with me this night. She said that she would still want to go home to her best friend’s boarding house so we drove her there. She said she will still about it. That I must still wait for a week or so before she would. I felt a little guilty because we just bought 3 dresses for her, nothing else. All the dresses that she wants to try, we’re stolen by Athena. She said that she left that on the fitting room, and she asked Athena if she could get them out but the girl just eyed her and told her to leave. Athena even mocked her in front of the store manager and 2 sales lady. That’s a big insult to the ego of anyone. I know she’s upset. Tomorrow, she also said that she wants to go to school. So I let her. *Phone rings* “Hello” I answered the phone, “Boss, we already returned the drugs to your father. The cops don’t even noticed. I think they don’t know yet. But later on, I know they’
Amira’s Pov A few normal day has passed. I jumped on my bed because of exhaustion.I’m so tired. My energy is completely drained. Today, my professor and the dean thanked me because the Villamorannas signed the proposal. Its a normal day for me.There are so many works as usual. So many projects and group works, research and presentation and many many more. Damn college. I didn’t agree on Elexier’s plan that I’ll be out with him and not go to school for a week. I also said I still want tostay andlive with my best friend in her dorm.I’m still not ready to live somewhere where I don’t know people. I’ll admit that I can’t face him today because of what happened yesterday. The girl, on the store, turns out to be his ex.Well, I have no problem with that. I don’t care about his past relationships or what so ever but his ex doesn’t have a really nice attitude towards me. He mocked me in front of the two sales lady and the manager. I know Elexier didn’t want that t
Elexier’s POV The musical band started to play their instruments an create sound that is so refreshing to the human ear. The flower girls and boys started to throw their flowers every where, and is gently being carried away by the wind. Bubbles are floating everywhere. All the guest started to walk on the red carpet on the floor of this church we are all in. This day has come. The day when I marry the girl of my life, who I am ready to spent my whole life with. The girl who I have suffered so many things with, and we conquered it. The strongest girl I know. The most beautiful girl in my eyes. My best man stood beside and tapped my shoulders. I am nervous. Yes I am a little bit. But the happiness I am feeling still shines the most. I met you in that dark rode when somebody tried to do something bad to you, and I saved you. It may look like I have saved you many times, but no. You are the one who saved me. You
2 years laterI am here outside my school, feeling the breeze of the air that is touching my skin. And as this engineering school of mine is near the Manila bay, where you can watch the beautiful sunset, I stood here and watched that masterpiece of the nature. The sky is in the color of orange, yellow, and a hint of blue. Which calms my mind. I hugged myslef as I can feel the cold breeze. I took a deep breath, and smiled. I can’t help ut to smile. Everything is over. Everything have fall in their places. There is no more of everything. I’m at peace. We are at peace. Of my best friend slash brides maid Elocin, and my fiance Elexier. Yes, that’s right, fiance.Looking back now, I just realized how strong we have been in that year. I’m so proud of us.I am eating fruits when the door slowly opened. It swallowed Elexier, who is wearing a suit, a formal suit, and I guess he just g
Amira’s POVI woke up because of a dazzling light in my face again. Seeing that, I felt a little nervous as I may have a trauma for lights because of everything that has happened. I looked around and found relief when I saw that this place isn’t like those place where I am finding myself to be in for the last, days? I don’t know. What happened? All I remember is somebody injecting me with something and I fell asleep? Where am I.UI slowly let my eyes look around more on this place. There’s couch, there are chairs, there is a table and in it are foods. Am I…… Am I and a hospital?I looked at my hands and saw that I have a dextrose connected to me. So I am in the hospital? I am in the hospital! I’m alive! They have saved me! I felt happy and my hearth was suddenly full of warmth. I feel my lips forming a curve for this feeling I have right now. This can’t be exp
Elexier’s POVI was so furious aster that call with him. And what make me even more furious that I don’t exactly know where they are! I cursed so loud and placed my hands on my forehead, thinking of the next thing I should do. And then I thought of something suddenly. The call. I picked up my phone from my pocket and touched that ended call. I just hope Amira’s location is on, so could track where she is. I won’t let anything happen to her.Few more minutes of doing it, I finally got her location. Gotcha!Barangay 163, Pasay City.I quickly started the engine of my car and get out there as soon as I found out where she is. I just hope I arrived there in time. Because if I don’t, I don’t know what will I do to that Lozano. This can be the first time I’ll be killing somebody.While driving, I called General Santos to tell that i
Elexier’s POVI was driving my car fast trying to chase and follow the route of that white van. The police’s gave me some options on where the van went as they don’t know where exactly it go. I cursed so loud inside my car thinking what they might do to Amira. I swear, they will pay if they tried to give even just a small bruise at Amira! My breathing is hitching when my phone suddenly rang. I looked at it and saw Amira’s number calling. I stepped on the break very quickly and answered the call.“Hello Amira?! Where are you?! Are you okay?! Where are you?!” I immediately asked continuously when I answered the call. I didn’t heard Amira’s voice, instead I heard a man’s evil laugh on the other line.‘Elexier, Elexier, Elexier. Oh Elexier my dear, why are you so worried about this girl huh?” The man spoke and then laughed again. Upon hearing that famili
Elexier’s POVAfter that talk with Amira, she decided that she should get their things first in their boarding house so that they could stay here. I didn’t agree with her, because I’m afraid that something might happen when she leave here. We can’t still tell how our enimies are thinking. They might be planning for their next move now. I told her that I can just buy them new clothes because I really can,I really would. But she insisted. She said that that is not needed.“Amira, it will be better that way. You are much safer that way. I’ll just buy things for you. For the both of you. We don’t know if you’re safe out there.Mr. Lozano’s men could be everywhere.” I said to her as they walks to the door, already leaving. I followed them.“That’s a no need Elexier. I understand your concern but if we are able to get here safe, we will get back here safe.
Amira’s POVThe whole night that day, my eyes are closed but my mind and my senses are awake. I can’t sleep thinking bout things that might happen. And I can’t take it if Elocin will be hurt and involved because she shouldn’t be. It’s midnight now. I didn’t dare to open any window to check if those men are still here.My phone’s alarm beep and it woke me up. I didn’t know if that was what you call sleep. It felt like just a second. I think I just took a nap. I picked up my phone from the table near my bed and saw that it’s 6; A.M in the morning. And I fell asleep at 4:00 A.M. I guess. I got up the bed and walked up to my door and slowly opened it. When I got out my room, I saw the lights on the kitchen are open. I walked to there and saw Elocin making breakfast.“Oh, you’re already awake,” She greeted at me when I entered the
Elexier’s POV I drove Amira home to her house and my mom and I drove directly to my condo. My mom immediately got in her room and I guess, she already dozed of. I went to my room and took a shower. This day is so tiring. But it’s so fun. I can’t help but to smile while on the shower. Oh man, I guess this is bad. I’m doomed. Amira already found her way on how to get in my system and drive me crazy. And I am literally in here in the shower, taking a bath, thinking of her. But I just can’t help it. I got out the shower and blow dried my hair. I then let my self fall in my bed. I’m just staring at the ceiling, waiting my eyes to close and sleep. But even if I already close my eyes, Amira’s image is there. I chuckled at my self. I’m crazy. But my smile faded away when I realized what will happen tomorrow. We’ll be visiting my father, in the jail. Mom have requested this to me. And she have already waited for so long to
Amira’s POVThe last one day remaining on that vacation is awesome. I was so happy that straight 3 days. I felt like I’m at ease. Away from the problems. In that day three of our mini vacation, Mr. Suarez and Elexier held a business meeting for 3 hours. And then, the whole day, we spent that in fun. We did all the things that everyone enjoys. We did scuba diving, and we swam on the seashore. (as I don’t want to go further.) and other things that make me so happy. My heart, is filled with cupcakes and rainbows. No other than that. Then at exactly 5 P.M., we left the resort and then took our flight back to manila. We arrived in Manila at midnight after that tiring but fun day. Elexier drove me to my best friends boarding house. We got out the car as soon as we arrive there.I guess Elocin is still awake, as usual.“Uhm, Thanks Elexier. Thanks for driving me here and, also thanks for that vacation. I enjoyed it.&r
