"You're going to give me a headache if you keep walking around like that, we already have a plan so stop it,” Rodrigo said with an eye roll and I glared at him.“ What if it doesn't work in a week's time, what if we can't stop this before then?" I asked as I fell on my bed with a sigh.Rodrigo lifted my head and kept it on his lap as he started running his fingers through my hair. “ I know you're scared but you have to be positive, let's see what Rosabella would do and then like I said if that doesn't work then we'd bring our fake marriage idea, I know I'm going to get in serious trouble for this but I'll do it for you," He said as I turned to look at him with a cheeky smile.“ Awwnn, my bestie is such a softie," I said and he just rolled his eyes. " As much as I just want to sleep, I gotta go, I have to finish up some work my Mom has been on my neck about,” he said." Alright then, I'll just walk you to the door," I said. " Okay,” he said as we both got up from bed as we walked ou
" Well, what can I say except congratulations,” I quickly raised my head from my computer screen when I heard Scott's voice, “ Scott," I said as I looked at him and sighed, everything was alright, every single thing, until that man decided to ruin it. “ I'm sorry Scott, it's not like…” " Sorry for what? That you got engaged?” he asked, How did he know I got engaged last night? He wasn't there. " Why do you look so surprised, it's all over the news, two most powerful families joining together as a family, isn't that amazing?” he asked, “ Scott you're making this all sound like it's my fault when you definitely know how my parents can be, when they want something they'll stop at nothing until they get it," I said as I felt my eyes begin to tear up. “ Then make sure they don't get what they want this time, let's go back to America," he said and I blinked looking at him, “ What?! You know I can't do that now," I said, “ Or you just don't want to because you can't wait to be the
I looked at what I was wearing and it was indeed a blue suit. It must be him, the person following me around. “ What do you want from me? Who are you?" I asked but his deep voice came through the phone in a throaty laugh, “ One question at a time darling," ew, darling? That's gross. “ What do you want?" I asked, “ To help you," came his response, “ Help me? How?" I asked, “ Yes, I know you're desperate to avoid getting married to him," he said and I felt my heart skip a beat. Who was this person that knows everything happening in my life, yet I didn't know who he was? “ Who are you really?" I asked him, “ Your Angel," came his cut reply, yeah, more like my stalker, I thought to myself but didn't say it out loud. “ How do you plan on helping me avoid the marriage?" I asked as I started biting my finger in anxiety, “ You'd have to come and find out," he said, “ Huh, where?" I asked, “ I'll send you an address, meet me there and I'll tell you everything you need to know," he
FlashbackI groaned when something hit the side of my head and I turned to my left to see that it was from her. There was no avoiding her no matter how hard I tried, she was always everywhere, ready to torment me.“ Oh, look, I found the ball and it's with crippled boy," she said as she ran towards me and took the ball that fell just beside my wheelchair.“ Do you wanna play football with the guys? I was taking this ball to them,” she asked when she knew that I couldn't even stand not to talk of playing football,I ignored her and was about to wheel myself out of there but she blocked me," It's just a simple question and I expect an answer,” she said as her minions surrounded her all laughing at the situation," I don't want to play Lilly,” I said," Oh or you can't play,” she said as her eyes went to my legs and my hands clenched, “ My bad, I thought you were like other boys but I guess you're incapable, sorry," she said as she harshly dropped the ball she was holding on my lap.“
" I thought you said this was a bad idea, then why the hell are we here now?" I whispered to Rodrigo as I looked into the darkness, there was nothing to see.“ Why are you whispering? We're inside the car,” He said as he looked at me before opening the car door and stepping out and I did the same." We're so going to get in trouble, what if that man wants to kill me and bury my body?”" Can you just shut up you troll, call him, tell him you're here,” he said,“ I'm calling him now,” I said as I placed the phone to my ear. It rang for several minutes and I looked around the bridge he asked me to meet him.“ He's not picking," I said as I looked at Rodrigo with a shake of my head,“ Try again," he said,“ This is annoying seriously," I said as I tried again,“ He's still not picking," I said,“ Why do I have a feeling that he's watching us right now and he knows I'm here with you that's why he's hiding and we're not seeing anyone," he said,“ That makes sense but he didn't give any inst
I watched in anger as he talked and laughed with my parents like he was welcome here, he knew I didn't want him here that was why he was taking out his time to tell me my parents did.“ Oh, before I forget, I'd like to invite you all to dinner on Wednesday, if that's okay, my Mom would like the family to have dinner together before the wedding," he said politely like he was actually polite.I couldn't help but roll my eyes and my Mom saw. Shit, Lilly keep the act together.Was this what he was going to say? He should have just said it and be on his way, he didn't have to sit for breakfast with us.Damn, another thing was I didn't like seeing his mother, she always made it look like it was a good idea marrying him, she was too loving. Only if they had another son, I would have married him.“ Mom, I really needed to go, thank you for the food," I said as I stood up,“ Oh, that's good, let's go together, I'll drop you off," Antonio said as he stood up too and my Mom was looking at us wit
I can't believe he left me here, he's a fucking bastard, I swear I'll kill him.“ I'll kill that fucking bastard!" I spat in anger,I took out my phone and checked for any available taxi but there was none around the area. I had a feeling he knew it was hard to get a taxi around this area that was why he dropped me here.I decided to call my best friend to see if he could pick me but the phone rang for several minutes but there was no response.I started walking as I kept trying his number but still I wasn't getting any response. He might be in a meeting and his phone wasn't with him.I'm screwed. I've been walking for over fifteen minutes and still I haven't seen any available taxis nor have my best friend picked my calls.My office was still far away, this fucking man dropped me off where cars don't pass that often, no wonder he took this fucking route. It was just me walking on the road with the woods on each side of me. What if a wild animal suddenly comes out and attacks me? Wh
“ That would be five hundred bucks ma'am," the man said and I smiled, not having an issue as I brought out five hundred bucks from my bag and handed it to him.“ Thank you so much for your help, I don't know what I would have done without you," I said genuinely and the man just chuckled,“ I actually feel like you're the one who just helped me, just call me anytime you need someone to tell a lie," he said and I couldn't help but laugh,“ Of course I will…” that's a lie,..."Thank you for helping me, you're kind, I'm already late for work, I'll be getting down now, do have a nice day,” I said as I opened the door and stepped out of his old truck that just saved my life. The truck looked like it went through world war and yet the owner refused to get it repainted.Maybe he liked seeing it like that. But it was a good thing he dropped me at a walkable distance to the hotel. “ Thank you so much," I said as I waved before he started his car and drove off.I took a breath as I adjusted my
