I was discussing with myself all the way from the event hall until I arrived at home.
I went straight to my room and undressed myself. I took a shower and wore my pajamas after. While brushing my teeth, the bristles of the toothbrush were touching my lips and drove me to remember Mister Suarez. From earlier until now, I have always remembered the moment I was kissing him. “Just a fool of you, Val! I hope you didn't let the tension you felt when you were with him caused you to kiss him,” I said to myself after I washed my mouth. Finally, I was on my bed, but my mind was stuck in the moment when I tiptoed and his arms were supporting me while we were kissing each other as if we really had that sincere relationship. I'm so stupid to let him control me. But I hate myself for making me become submissive to that man I just met. I lay down and immediately took my pillow. I covered it to my face and there I released my annoyance. I shouted with my mouth covered with a pillow. I raised my legs and waved them in a random manner. I just want to get rid of the shameful thing I did that was flashing back in my head again and again. “It was his fault too! He made a fool of me! He was showing motives, but with different intentions! He was playing with me!” I hate it because I think I lost in the game! He is good at controlling people. His eyes are the great controller part of his body. With just one look, he can knock someone out of their senses and make them do what he wants. I remembered what he said. I can't be late for our meeting tomorrow because we are talking about our marriage. I'm sure we'll discuss the wedding. Thinking about my dream wedding when I was a teenager, I suddenly smiled in an awful way. Knowing it will not come to happen again because of this situation where I am in. Back then I wanted to get married in a big church where God's blessings begin. I also want my family, friends, and my acquaintances who have become close to me to be there. Most of all, I want to marry the man who makes my heart beat—who makes me feel what love truly is. I did not wish to end up in this situation. Imagine, I would be marrying the man I don't love. Yes, we met earlier but his face was covered by a mask and a few hours won't be enough to get to know a person. Especially people like Eldifonso Suarez. It's like he's full of secrets. I can't read his movements. The depth of meaning in every look he gave me made it hard to trust him. He's a deep man with a shallow perception about marriage. While I was his total opposite. Admittedly, sometimes I am too shallow but when it comes to serious matters, I am a deep person. My friends who are a bit ahead of me said that you should get to know the person you will marry. It is not guaranteed that he will treat you well for a year, two years, three years or more. It is said that recognizing a person takes a long time. Because it may only show you half of the personality of the person you are recognizing. But others said that there's no need to make it too long. If you love each other, you can enter married life with that person. In my case, I don't know the man who will be my husband, I don't love him either and I don't know how many years or decades it will take me to get to know him completely. A loud sound from my alarm clock woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes to welcome this new day. "Fuck! Really, head? This very morning? You would remind me of that kiss?” I asked myself disgustedly when that kiss was the first thing that came to my mind. I stretched my arms and legs before I sat up. I closed my eyes again. When my spirit really came to its senses, I stood up and decorated the window of my room. I almost closed my eyes when the rays of the morning sun brushed on my face. I smell it like a fresh garden flower. It's a beautiful morning. I clipped my black long hair behind my head and went downstairs. I found mommy in the living room busy reading the newspaper. “Val, good morning. It's good and you're awake, dear. Mister Suarez's men came by and gave a letter. They told me to hand it to you,” said mommy who couldn't hide the excitement in her voice. She looked up from the newspaper she was holding. Her hand reached out the color lavender envelope and handed it to me. “Here. Take time to read that,” he ordered. I took the envelope. Before I opened it, I bent down and kissed mommy's cheek. “Good morning, mom.” I opened the envelope and inhaled its smell. It's refreshing. I pulled the white paper out from it and read the few letters and numbers written on it. He just wrote "8:00 tonight at my mansion." “Holy crap,” I whispered. “Why, Val? What's wrong?” “Mom, we'll meet tonight. He wants us to talk at his mansion.” Mommy folded the newspaper in her hand and immediately stood up. She grabbed my shoulder and squeezed it a little. “There's nothing wrong with that, Val. He is a busy man. Surely night is the only time for him to take care of his personal problems,” said mommy. “If only I had known, mom, that we would meet tonight, I would have slept longer. I'm dizzy right now because I haven't slept enough because of that man," I said, full of resentments that I felt for Eldifonso Suarez. “Don't be like that. Just take your breakfast and sleep again. So that later you will be looking presentable, Val.” I shook my head and threw the envelope at the table. After I ate, I took a shower. I wanted to go back to sleep but I was no longer sleepy. That's why I just went to the garden and hung out there. I waited until darkness started to kiss the Earth. Before the evening totally reigned, I prepared myself. I dress presentable. I was wearing my favorite white dress, layered with my cardigan on top, and matched with a pair of close shoes lifted with an inch of heels. My hair was in a bun on top of my head with a few strands curled ang hung on both sides of my face. I pressed the top of the bottle and then I watched the mists absorbed by my clothes. I also sprayed an amount of perfume behind my ears, on my wrists, and on both sides of my neck. After a while I heard a car honking from outside our home. It was the same car that brought me home from the masquerade party last night. I nervously approached the mirror and looked at my reflection. I stopped moving, realizing that I took many hours to prepare myself for this meeting. But then I was still conscious, asking myself if I am presentable. I went out of my room. Just like what happened last night, my parents were waiting at the bottom of the stairs I walked down. “Thank you, Val,” dad said as if he was very proud of me. Mommy was also in tears while staring at me. “I will go now. Mister Suarez's men are waiting outside,” I said. Until I got out, my parents’ eyes followed me. I got into the car wondering what would happen again during the duration of my meeting with Mister Suarez. A feeling of embarrassment lured me when I realized the bullshit thing I did. “Holy crap,” I whispered, thinking about what way I can face him and look directly in his eyes without feeling awkward. That man was surely laughing at my stupidity. And I hate that.I walked down from the car and I almost vomited because of what was flashed before my eyes. It wasn't a house. I prefer to call it a palace. The design of this magnificent mansion was incredibly pushing me to feel ashamed to make a move closer to it. It wasn't just tall, wide, and big. But it was extravagant, well built and maintained. The design was more similar to the palace of heaven that I usually saw on television and posters. There were touches of gold that made the light run through every part of the place. My mouth was still open until I heard Martin clear his throat. I look at him. He noticed that I was amused with everything I just saw. “Miss Valerie Wills, why are you so surprised by what you saw? Aren't you just as rich as our master?” “Ah, he's richer than any rich person I knew.” For some reason, I quite understand why among the rich men, my parents dictated my marriage to this mysterious man. He is not just rich but he is very rich. The field around his mans
I was in a white dress, sitting outside the wedding hall where the judge was waiting. I looked up and realized that it was too far from the wedding I dreamed of back when I was a kid. A beautiful and unforgettable wedding—that was the wedding I wanted. But here I am, waiting for my mysterious groom to come to the place where he wants the both of us to be proclaimed as a legal married couple. He doesn't want my parents to come. I asked about his parents the eve I visited his place, yet he seemed to be offended when I opened the topic. I thought that he didn't want to talk about his parents. He might be holding a grudge against them, and so do I! I hate his parents for bringing their son into this world, who eventually will become my husband. I can't! What will happen to me? To us? And to what stage of life will we enter? Marriage has to be serious and sacred. But this! This is an awful thing! Awful than ever! I looked at the little round thing on my wrist, checking what time
Finally, after almost two hours of uncomfortable travel back to his mansion, which is supposed to be my mansion too since we are legally a couple now, I can finally breathe freely. Martin opened the door for us. I gave Martin a smile before I walked out of the car. I exhaled to overcome the uneasy feeling that I suddenly had. I couldn't imagine that I am married now. If it was a nightmare, I hope that I would fall from my bed so that I could be awakened. “Let's go now, Valerie. You will get colds if you keep on standing here all night.” “Y-Yeah.” I didn't mind following him until we got inside this big and wide mansion, where I will live for the rest of my life since I married this man. Our steps echoed in the living room. I noticed that the mansion was quite at peace, as if it were in the desert. “Where are the maids and butlers?” I cocked my head in some directions. “There are a few maids left, and the same with butlers. I don't want many people near me from no
I rotated inside the room while jumping like a child. It was the end of the week since our wedding, and I haven't seen his face. He said his bow and even promised to be the best husband...ever! But damn it! I mean, his definition of “the best husband is giving me incomparable anger!" He assigned a maid to bring my necessities up here. But that maid was prohibited from talking to me. All I knew was her name, and it was Amia. Amia is a good person; I can sense that. She's really a pro in terms of cleaning and giving services to me. It just saddened me that she's not allowed to talk to me. I grabbed the pillow and covered it on my face, and then I shouted at the top of my lungs, releasing the feeling of devastation that this fucking marriage gave to me. “Happy fucking life of a married woman to the fucking infinity! Oh, fucking shit, son of a holy crap, why were you born as the man I am married with?! You're such a fucking jerk!” I screamed again until I could feel the rough text
He was panting while his hips moved back and forth between my thighs. I tried to push him, but he was strong enough to dominate my body. I can't find any strength within me, so the rest I can do is to let him treat me like an animal and wait for him to finish. “My 50 million dollars is not at waste! Ah! Damn it! You're fucking tight, woman! You really are a virgin,” he said it like a chant, repetitively. “P-Please…stop, El. It hurts,” I said, clenching my fists out of the pain that my vagina felt.His body was hard, and his long and thick manhood is plowing at my garden deeper and deeper. I know that I am bleeding because I am a virgin, but what bleeds more is my heart. There is no wound inside my heart or at its surface, but it feels like a lot of blood is coming out of the unidentified part of it. It hurts like hell.“Oh, holy pussy! I'd never fuck a hole as tight as your, Valerie. You are giving me the best experience,” he said, neglecting the oppression that was visible in my
—Valerie Wills—“I will not marry that old man, dad!” I said, yelling, trying to convince my father. We are currently having our dinner. My father is twitching his pasta with the golden fork in his hand. “We are not discussing this anymore, Valerie. You are going to marry him because that is necessary,” dad said in a calm tone. I throw my stare at my mother who is currently eating her vegetables salad. He just gave me a blank face, meaning she will not be going to help me out of this situation. "I am not marrying him!" "You will! You must," he said. “Dad, he's old enough for me. I am still young. I just graduated from my baccalaureate degree. Now, I am going to marry? It's quite funny! No! It's hilarious!” Dad continually being the coldest man on Earth. He didn't even think that this matter was concerning me and the rest of my life. “It doesn't matter now, Val. Age is just a number. Maybe he's old enough compared to you. But at the end of the day it's his money th
He stopped in front of me and took my hand. He kissed it. My soul could feel his lips caressing the back of my hand. I can't say anything. I just kept staring at him. “Miss Wills, how are you? Are you ready for tonight?”When he asked that, I immediately got nervous. It was as if my heart wanted to escape from my chest. “M-Mister Suarez.” Even mentioning his name was like a curse, and I couldn't do it properly. “Don't be too nervous, Miss Wills. Tonight will be fun,” he told me. And then he only let go of my hand after he kissed it again. He sat down and immediately the two men entered. One was carrying a food tray and the other was carrying two goblets and a bottle of expensive wine. There is steak on the plate and pasta as well. My steak was well-done and his was medium rare. “Leave us,” he said to the two men. When the boys were gone, he looked at me. “Don't stare at me that way, Miss Wills. I might think that I committed a crime against humanity and against you,” he said
His lips crept up to the back of my ear and his arms gradually tightened around me. Even though the music was loud, my heart and breath were beating faster as if someone was chasing me. I moaned because of his soft lips that relentlessly kissed the sensitive part of my body. “M-Mister Suarez,” I muttered softly. He distanced himself from me. His arms that were wrapped around my body let go. He held my hand and immediately raised our hands to hold each other. He spins me around. I just closed my eyes while my heart calmed down due to the strength and speed of the heartbeat. My feet are getting lost in passing, they can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the instrumental music. My dancing skills suddenly disappeared. It's like my feet are both left. I regret letting out a low growl earlier. I think he is just playing with me or should I say, this man was teasing me. He was unreadable. Just like he wears a mask, his true personality is also hidden. Who are you, Miste
