CHAPTER 5

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

JANEAH has been peacefully watching the birds flying inside the huge bird net cage with a garden. It calms her hearing the humming and tweeting of the birds. She’s been watching them for hours because she doesn’t have anything to do. She tried helping the maids with their work but they always refuse to tell her that if her husband finds out he will fire them off. 

They always tell her to just rest and relax so that she won’t be tired and because it’s their job. She wanted to help because she’s bored as hell but they always brush her off.

It’s been a month since she came into this house and still, she never met her husband. Ma Lina said he is out of town busy managing his businesses and fixing some stuff they don't want her to know. She always hears the maids and bodyguards reporting every action she makes, everything she does to her husband. It’s been a month since the last time she heard from Green and she’s starting to get irritated because she’s also detached from her social world. It’s been a month since she last heard about her modeling. It’s getting dark now and she can see the sunset from where she was sitting yet she doesn’t want to go inside. 

JANEAH was taking a shower when she heard a loud knock on the bathroom door. She turned off the water before covering her body with a towel. She opened the bathroom door and she saw Pinky with a wide smile waiting for her outside holding a bathrobe. She smiled back at her before getting the robe and wearing it before heading to the walk in closet. She chose to wear a black short shorts and a plain black double extra large black shirt with a ‘F*ck off’ statement written on the front of the shirt. The shirt looks like a dress to her reaching below her knees. Janeah didn’t wear a bra inside besides it’s not noticeable and she’s not comfortable wearing one. And it’s already night so she decided not to wear one.

Pinky silently guided her to sit and blow her hair with a hair blower to dry before combing it gently. While Pinky is combing her hair someone knocks on the door. She looked at the door with a wrinkled forehead. The door opened and one of the men in black who kept following her wherever she went bowed his head before entering the room.

Young mistress, the master is home and he wishes to have dinner with you.” The men in black said, still bowing her head. Janeah’s eyes widened because of what she had heard from the men in black. Janeah raised her hand showing her palm sideways to stop Pinky from combing her hair.

He is back? Tell him I am not eating. Both of you may leave, I want to be alone and tell him to not disturb me. Now go.” She retorted while waving her hands to shoo them off before rolling her eyes. 

Pinky and the men in black didn’t protest, instead, they bowed their heads before leaving her room. Janeah locked the door of her room before throwing herself into her bed. She was lying down on her bed face down and she kept sighing thinking that she was about to face her ‘husband’ or rather she so called ‘buyer husband’ and she didn't know what to do. 

JANEAH has been sound and peacefully sleeping so she didn’t notice the man who entered her room carrying a tray of food.  The man walked beside the table near the couch inside her room. The man placed the tray carefully making sure not to create a noise. The man walked slowly near her bed. 

He sighed when he saw Janeah didn’t react because she was in deep sleep. He slowly sat beside her and he caressed her face. He moved to the side of her hair that had been covering her whole face. 

Abchanchu stared at her, watching her sleep peacefully. He sighed before standing up and walking to the bathroom to take a quick shower. 

Abchanchu came home after a month of being busy from out of the country because one of his hotels faced a problem because one of their customers found a dead gunshot body in one of their hotel rooms. It cost him a month to solve the problem because the family of the victim sued the hotel. The case is already closed because they found the culprit which is the girlfriend of the said victim. 

He's been wanting to come home because he wanted to see his wife but he can’t and now that he is home his wife doesn’t want to face him. 

He knows that she is mad at him or rather them to be exact but he doesn’t care at all because she loves her the first time she saw her at their company’s ball. He was furious when he found out that she is in a relationship with his secretary Green but he doesn’t have a choice but to accept it. Then something came up, his grandfather wanted him to have a wife before giving him the Co Empire so as soon as possible he ordered Green to search for a possible wife material for him. And like a greedy man, Green asked him to marry his fiance which is Janeah in exchange for him forgetting their debt and paying him fifty million pesos. When Abchanchu heard about the deal he agreed without hesitation because he can have the women he fancies the most. 

ABCHANCHU covered his body with a bathrobe before leaving the bathroom. He went inside the door of the connecting room from Janeah’s room. Janeah’s room is connected to Abchanchu’s room. He wants easy access to her room so he decided to get their rooms renovated months before he decided to get her. 

Abchanchu changed into a boxer and a plain white shirt before drying his hair using a hair dry blower. After drying his hair he went back to Janeah’s room. He sat beside Janeah without making a noise, he watched her sleep for minutes before deciding to lay beside her. He removed his shirt before slowly lifting Janeah to face the ceiling. 

Abchanchu removed the hair covering her face and a small smile crept into his lips when he saw the beautiful and peaceful face of Janeah while sleeping. 

Good night, agápi mou,” He said before kissing her forehead. 

Abchanchu hugged her waist before burying his face into Janeah’s neck. He smells the sweet strawberry fragrant of her shampoo which made him smile. Hugging her made him feel all of his tiredness and the only thing he wanted was to rest while hugging her tight. Abchanchu closed his eyes and everything went black causing him to drift into the sweetest dream he ever had.

    JANEAH woke up with the smell of the hospital welcoming her. She adjusted her eyes because everything she sees is blurry. When her vision adjusted she saw where she was, full white and a bit of green colored room. She saw Green sleeping while sitting on his left side and he was holding her hands. She touched his cheeks and caressed them. Seeing Green made her eyes teared up again. She tilted her head away facing to her right to remove her gaze from Green. She saw a digital wall clock and it was already three in the afternoon. She toured her eyes inside the room. The room is spacious; it can pass as a hotel room. She saw a sixty five inches television in front of her. There’s a two long sofa bed and four single seat sofas. There’s a kitchen on her side and a door. A door towards the bathroom. Janeah has been thinking about what will happen to her after s
