Chapter 1

The sunlight was warm as Elizabeth or Eliza looked out the window next to her. She was currently inside the car, alone as she watched the gigantic ships in the distance. There are many people she doesn't know if they're tourist or people who working here, well regardless of whether anyone is looking at them or not.

These people are a type of people who would work hard to earn more money. For food, for shelter, for security, for medicines, for their family. And Eliza? Her money is to get everything she wants. Things? Check. People? Check. House? Check. Land? Check. She can buy almost everything with the money she has, even this port she can buy but kidding aside, she was slowly getting annoyed because the man who said to call Mr. Gallagher still not here.

"Why he's so fucking slow? Maybe he didn't forget me here in the car waiting for that lazy Mr. Gallagher?" She whispered in the air without a brake while frowning.

She was getting bored inside that fucking car so she decided to go outside. When she stepped out, she held her formal navy dress so the wind wouldn't blow it away or at worst making everyone see her thighs. But she didn't give a fuck, she was bored and she needed to finish everything here and then. But they're so fucking late! It's 11am in the morning? Why are they so late?

The heat of the sun finally touched her skin, she put on the black glasses from the pouch she was holding and looked at the people around. Yeah, she knew that there's a lot of people but not on afternoon, but she doesn't see the man she was with earlier. Elizabeth took a deep breath and tried to fix her hair which was messed up by the strong breeze.

Well, she was at the port, near the fucking sea.

When she spots a restaurant, she finally walked towards there, she had no plans to stay in the heat of the sun. When she stepped inside of the restaurant, she immediately removed the shades she was wearing and looked around, maybe because someone recognized her or she saw a familiar face but nothing. Then a waitress saw her, it immediately accommodated her to find her seat.

When she finally settled on the side of the window, she ordered pasta and their best seller juice, when the waitress left she waited to serve the food, then she pick up her phone from her pouch and answer Mr. Peter's call. He is the one who was with her at the port right now, her driver and the one who said that she needed to wait inside the car, but she got bored and stepped outside.

"What?"

"Miss? Where are you?"

"I'm at the restaurant." She looked to the side to see the man she was talking to the phone and now he noticed her so he quickly walked out of the parked car and entered the restaurant where she was.

When Mr. Peter finally in front of her, he told her that Mr. Gallagher is currently in a business meeting with a very important client and he doesn't want to refuse the opportunity.

When Elizabeth heard that, she felt something suddenly click in her head. Her eyes are twitching, while her hands that are holding her phone are now trembling because of so much anger she was feeling right now. That man, he didn't know that Buenaventura is one of his important clients too and he wants to make her wait for him to finish that fucking business meeting?

She nodded. "Okay. How long I need to wait?"

The man in front of her was stunned for a moment but then he answered her , "For about fifteen minutes, Miss."

‘Right! I need to wait for fucking fifteen minutes just for him? What a bastard.’ She said on her mind. Elizabeth nodded her head again and let Mr. Peter to sit in front of her. She was feeling bored and she wants to entertain her. Because that bastard Mr. Gallagher wants her to wait for him.

But the man in front of her refused, it's not he's rude in front of the lady, but he didn't think so if he's going to be alive or not on how Elizabeth's hands trembled because of anger.

The lady got embarrassed and dismissed him immediately, but Mr. Peter laughed softly and said that he was going to sit on the empty table on her back, and if she needed anything, don't hesitate to call him. When the man left she looked out the window again, her eyes looked into the distance.

When the food that she ordered was brought to her table, Elizabeth secretly looked behind where Mr. Peter talking toa waiter. He didn't wait for their conversation to end and started eating. Elizabeth doesn't want to time the food when she's eating because she wants to enjoy it until she finishes it.

But because of Mr. Gallagher, she needs to do it before the time is finally over. She didn't achieve it but she felt full, and then on her side she saw a new car that suddenly parked beside her car. Her curiosity kicked in, she didn't leave her eyes while looking at that car, and them she saw two tall man wearing a suit step out of it. She knew the other man, he was Mr. Herrick Gallagher, the bastard she was waiting for, but the other one, she doesn't know him.

Her eyes followed the new guys every single movement, and felt like her eyes were glued into that man. He has a fine jawline, tall, well built, dark eyebrows, pointed nose, thin yet yummy lips and tantalizing blue eyes.

How is this man so fucking attractive and hot at the same time?

God. His hair is in a man bun too? So he has long or medium hair?

Even the man lips are moving while talking to Mr. Gallagher, it didn't missed in Elizabeth's eyes. Because she was imagined thatthose lips are kissing her right now! Oh shoot!

‘Fuck? Did I say those lips are kissing me right now?!’ He whispered to herself and then shook her head.

Well, she's like this when she sees people with beautiful faces. Who can stop herself from staring at them? She's pretty too and beautiful but she can't stop herself not to stare at them and now... she knew that she want this man.

Elizabeth started to plan on how she can talk to this man, but her first question stopped her. She doesn't know his name though.

‘Right? How can I do that right? How can I ask that handsome man if I didn't know hia fucking name?’

"Miss?" Elizabeth squirmed as she sat in the chair when someone touched her shoulder.

Her lazer look eyes suddenly turned to Mr. Peter that is now standing on her right side, the man was shocked but he didn't back away even though the lady's eyes were now penetrating his soul.

"What?" the lady asked him fatly.

"Mr. Gallagher is already here. Can we—"

"You can back to your table, Mr. Peter."

"W-what, Miss?"

"Sit on your table and let him walk towards me. He asks for this though, I'm not going to give what he wants when he literally makes me wait." Mr. Peter feels like the lady's words are like daggers, a dangerous daggers for Mr. Gallagher.

Mr. Peter bowed at her, returning to his seat. Elizabeth already knew that this is what her assistant will do, but she doesn't want that. If they want to make her wait, then they need to beg for forgiveness.

Elizabeth sip on her glass when Mr. Gallagher saw her inside the restaurant. And when he saw the woman's eyes look at him, Mr. Gallagher felt like she saw his very soul. He freaked out, felt fear and started to sweat. He immediately understood what her eyes were saying, so he went to Ms. Buenaventura where the woman was sitting.

He ignored the man with him because he remembered that he literally... waited a Buenaventura.

Mr. Gallagher feels like his share to the Buenaventura's are on the edge because of what he did.

People like them should not be kept waiting.

Mr. Gallagher walked nervously and approached Elizabeth, she saw that the man was hesitating to go to her, and she already knew what's the reason. When he got close to her, she gently looked up and looked at him, and then she smiled at him as if he had done nothing bad to her.

"Uh, good afternoon Ms. Buenaventura—"

"Hello, Mr. Gallagher, why would you sit?" Elizabeth invited the man to the empty seat in front of her.

He stopped and looked at her and returned to the empty seat in front.

"Y-yes. Thank you." The man smiled at her, a scared smile.

She smirk.

When the man sat on the empty chair in front of her, she already focused her eyes on Mr. Gallagher. "So. Where should we begin? About the business or what you did today, Mr. Gallagher?" she asked him straightforwardly and the man already trembled from her question.

"U-uh... Y-you see—"

"Do you already know that your business is on the edge now, right? Do you prefer your client more than a Buenaventura, Mr. Gallagher? Is he proposing to you a good business so you made me wait here for fifteen minutes?"

Yes. Her words are like daggers and all of her words make the man in front of her shut his own mouth.

Elizabeth leaned on the chair she was sitting, and crossed her arms while staring badly at Mr. Gallagher. This man cut his own tongue because he didn't even say anything after that.

"What kind of proposal did he give to you?"

The man suddenly looked at her. They stared at each other, his eyes are scared snd fearing her for a few seconds until she raised an eyebrow while waiting for him to answer.

"Hmm? Do you really enjoy pissing me off today, Mr. Herrick Gallagher?"

That's the cue for the man in front of her to answer her question. "I-it's not what you think—"

"Then are you telling me that my assistant is lying to me after you told him that the client you are meeting with is an opportunity for you? Then... you did that to me?" The words coming out of Elizabeth's mouth seemed to be on fire.

The man couldn't help closing his eyes because of what he heard from the woman in front of him. He want to made excuses because of what happened today but Ms. Buenaventura speak again.

"You know my father, Mr. Gallagher. When what you did to me reaches him, he won't hesitate to pull out your shares in the company or maybe all your businesses will go bankrupt for what you did." she said and lick her lips. And then she leaned forward like a fox and whispered to him, "Choose, you're going to beg for forgiveness or you choose to let me tell this to Mr. Buenaventura, and in just one snap, all your effort and money will be disappear." A cynical smile formed into her lips after she said all of that.

The man in front of her is stunned and can't think straight after that. Mr. Gallagher is one of their shareholders to their company in Sky Air International. She didn't want this man to lose all of his money and name because he did her wait, so she made him two choices.

Beg or not.

And her smile grew wider when the man slowly stood up from his seat, stepped towards in front of her left side and then, he didn't even think twice before kneeling in front of her. She looked at him and she saw that his lips were trembling, his sweat was visible on his forehead and his eyes were already begging for forgiveness.

The side of her lips curled up, "Hmm... do you really want to beg for forgiveness in front of many people? Are you that... desperate?"

The man nodded his head. "Y-yes... I-i'm so sorry for what I did, Ms. Buenaventura but... I-i want to beg for your forgiveness."

Elizabeth is now... happy to see someone like this man kneeling in front of her. She was thinking on how to forgive this man... but when an idea came to her mind, she couldn't contain the smile on her lips, it's stretching up to her ear.

"Okay... If you're that desperate, I'll forgive you..." she said to Mr. Gallagher, but then she taps her heels on the man's thighs. "Lick my toe."

"Is it that too much, Ms. Buenaventura?" Her eyes look at the newcomer. Her eyes lit up to see the man she saw a while ago.

His eyes are like a calm blue ocean. Her eyes flutter in amusement when the new man in front of her calls her surname, but she thinks that when the time comes this man's surname will be her surname too.

What a lovely wedding indeed.

"Oh my, hi handsome." She then licked her lips while staring at him. "What's your name?"

"Let Mr. Gallagher go."

"Oh? Do you want to take his place? I'm more than happy if you want to—what the hell are you doing?" Her voice changed to a serious tone when the newcomer pulled Mr. Gallagher up from kneeling in front of her.

This man... did he really not know me huh?

"B-but..."

"I'll settle this, Mr. Gallagher. You can leave, I'll follow you afterwards." said by this man.

Her eyebrows are furrowed while looking at Mr. Gallagher, but the man avoided her gaze and he left her with this man. The man who has these deep blue ocean eyes. The man did not ask if he could sit in the empty seat in front of her. Elizabeth thinks that this man is crazy for taking over for that bastards place.

"I think your place is not there, hmm?" She asked the man and smiled at him while pointing to her front, where is Mr. Gallagher earlier. "In front of me."

"I'm in front of you now, Ms. Buenaventura."

"Do you understand me or not? He was kneeling in front of me so, kneel in front of me too."

"You think so highly of yourself, Ms. Buenaventura. Now, I'll settle everything for Mr. Gallagher, name your price so I can get out of this place."

After she heard what this man said, she laughed. Think highly of herself? Yes. Because she's a Buenaventura and no one can let her down even this man.

"Do you think I'll settle everything just because you ask the price?"

"Then, what do you want me to do?"

"Kneel in front of me bastard." She hissed.

The man looked at where Mr. Gallagher's position earlier. She was scraping her nail on her skin while staring at him. He was the one who is thinking highly of himself not her. Even though the man was handsome, she did not expect the behavior he would show her. She did think earlier on how to get this man but... nevermind.

"I'm not going to do that to someone like you."

What?!

"Sure. You have that kind of mouth of yours. But I don't think you know me—"

"Elizabeth Buenaventura, a little princess and heiress of Mr. William Buenaventura's businesses from air, land and sea."

Elizabeth's mouth seemed to close because of what she heard from the man in front of her.

Is this man mocking her?

"Do you want me to continue?" He stared at her. Her nails are currently digging into her own flesh, and she doesn't mind if it's going to get hurt. "Mr. Buenaventura's daughter is a brat. A big bitch brat who wants to torture people because of your father's money—"

"Who the fuck are you? And did you call me bitch?" Elizabeth's eyes widened as he smiled at him.

She wants to erase that smile on his lips. This bastard.

"And now... you're asking who I am? I don't know if it's good that you don't know me or not. You heard me. Do you want me to repeat myself?"

Where is this man came from? This man is what she didn't expect it to be. This man's thinking...

"Just tell me who the fuck are you? Why are you taking Mr. Gallagher's position? Do you think I can't let my father know what that bastard did to me right now? He makes me embarrassed."

"You're wrong, Ms. Buenaventura. You make yourself embarrassed. Look all the people inside of this restaurant? Didn't it occur to you that they saw what kind of a brat you are? You're a desperate brat, Elizabeth. You just don't know that."

Because of what he said, she eventually felt many eyes on her that she didn't feel it earlier. Her eyes followed those eyes that were looking at her right now, when she catches them looking at her, they suddenly turn away or bow down in shame.

"Hmm? Sure you have many audiences because of what you did—"

"Shut up!" Her loud voice echoed in the four corners of the restaurant. Suddenly the air get thick.

This man literally slapped her with facts but she doesn't want to be the one who lose. That smile on his lips? She want to brush it off using her lips.

No! She stood up, getting her pouch and step towards him, but stop on his side then she forcefully dropped her left hand in front of the man and whispered to his ear.

"Tell this to him. Today, his money and name will be vanish. Don't expect anything to a Buenaventura. And for us... we're not yet done ."

She then walked away and leave everyone in shock. Even the man's hair is so soft and had a good smell. Fuck this man.
