I leave home early to go to Mom and Dad before going to work. I feel like I need their hug. I need comfort from my family because of all the pain I feel. I don't know what to think of what I found out. I feel like Roven and Zandy betrayed me.When I entered the house, I immediately hugged Mom who greeted me. I even saw her surprise when she saw me. I know she was wondering about my act but I don't care anymore. What I need is hugs and comfort from them, even though I know to myself that until now, I have a grudge against them."Oh! Miles? Why, what happened? Are you ok?" Mom asked in surprise.I hugged her even tighter and didn't say a word. I don't know where to start and how to tell them because for all they know, Roven traded me for a girl and they have no idea that Zandy was the reason why I was hurt."Is there a problem? You act strange," Mom repeated while hugging me. I can feel the concern in her voice. "Did something happen to you and Zandy? Did you fight?"I hope that's the o
While I was busy typing on my monitor, I was slightly surprised when Melissa and Andrea approached me. I frowned."Aren't you busy?" I asked because it was as if they were doing nothing and still had time to chat with me."Did you know Zandy made an effort to pick you up at the bar last night?" Melissa said immediately. "I was just wondering why he seemed so concerned about you at that time," she said weakly.I frowned. So, it was Zandy who brought me home last night. I don't know but something appeared inside me because of what I heard."I felt something strange about Zandy that night. He was very worried about you as if he were a real husband," Andrea seconded.I pretended not to be affected by what they were saying. I faced the monitor again and started typing. "What are you guys thinking, huh? He was just concerned because we live together under the same roof and if something happens to me, I'm his responsibility. It's like what he did to me in the studio," I explained."I disagre
I DON'T know but I suddenly felt guilty because of what I said to Zandy the other day. I still can't get out of my mind the conscience and the look of disappointment on his face that day. I also felt as if he was avoiding me. He doesn't even look at me or talk to me. I also feel that I am now the one to blame for him and that I should apologize even though I try to think that he is the one to blame for me.Beverly is also messing with my mind. I want to ask Zandy about this but I don't feel like I'm in the right place to ask.From the door of my room, I saw Zandy on the terrace facing his laptop while drinking coffee. He's been busy with whatever he's doing for days. I snorted. Someone whispers to me to approach him but I stop myself.I took a breath and decided to go down. Since it's still early and I don't have school because it's a holiday, I thought of going out of the house to visit the plants outside. The sun is so beautiful. I started watering the plants. Even so, I smile at th
Zandy's POV[When Zandy's Parent Told Him About the Arranged Marriage]AFTER I parked the car in the garage, I quickly got off and went inside the house. I'm busy planning for my restaurant when my Mother called me because they said they had something to tell me. They don't know about my plan to build a restaurant because I know they will stop me from pursuing my dreams.I graduated from a course related to business but it doesn't mean that I'm into business, especially in the company that my family has. We own a big and successful gaming company that my parents forced me to manage at a young age but I knew I didn't like that line. But since I am an only child and they have no one other than me to manage it, I have to learn how to run it. But I can't deny my love for food, I love the smell of each dish and I like to cook.I found Mom and Dad in the living room waiting for me. There was only one thing in my mind that they would tell me, they want me to run the company. Well, it's not n
THE MORNING, Zandy and I were surprised when both of our parents came to the house one after the other. Uncle Andrew and Aunt Mandy arrived first and a few minutes later, Mom and Dad arrived."How are you, hija?" Aunt Mandy asked me kindly as Zandy and I sat side by side on the long sofa. Mom and Dad are on one sofa and Aunt Mandy and Uncle Andrew are opposite us.I smiled. "I'm fine, Aun—Mom," I answered shyly because I almost called her Aunt again. I don't even know what else to say. I suddenly felt tense and nervous.Aunt Mandy and Mom just smiled, while the two boys next to them were serious."I'm glad to hear that, hija. I'm sorry, we can't visit you here always, we're just too busy with business and various business meetings," Auntie Mandy explained."You, Zandy, how are you? How's your back? Are you feeling well?" Mom said that there is still a trace of concern for Zandy.I saw Zandy smile. I don't know if he's pretending or if it's real. "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm fine. I feel
Zandy's POVAFTER I texted Ton to meet me at a bar, I faced the bartender and asked for a bottle of whiskey. I want to relax and calm down from what is happening and what my parents want me to do. The music inside the bar is so de-stressing that it seems to melt me away. There were only a few people there.They control me so much that even my own happiness, they want to take away. What were they thinking about marrying me to a woman I don't even know? What do I care about the curse that girl has?I can't get married. No matter what happens, I wait for her to come back. I will wait for Beverly to come back into my life. I still love her, even though she left me for her career. I don't believe there is another man in her life so she chose to leave me. She told me before she left me that she still loved me and I would hold on to that."Hey, dude, your face doesn't look good today, huh?" I turned to Ton who had just arrived. He sat next to me and patted my shoulder lightly. He was smiling
This morning, I woke up early so I immediately left my room and went downstairs. I was just on the stairs when I smelled the delicious smell of food coming from the kitchen. I smiled and felt my stomach growl because of the smell of cooking food.I suddenly remembered the last thing Zandy said to me last night. I've been thinking about it all night and I can't get away from myself. I hear it over and over even when I'm lying down with my eyes closed. I don't know why what he told me had such an effect that even my heart was beating fast.After Zandy and I talked the other day, I went down to the living room and Mom and Dad said their goodbyes, and Uncle Andrew and Aunt Mandy also apologized for what happened. After a few minutes, Zandy also left without saying goodbye. I waited for him to come back but I just fell asleep waiting for him. I felt worried for him because I knew he was upset.I don't know either but I feel excited about the three-day vacation or they prefer to call it a h
Zandy's POV"WHAT? I thought you didn't want to get married? Why did you suddenly agree with your parents to marry a girl you didn't know?" Ton asked me in shock when I said I was getting married. He was sitting on a swivel chair facing his table.His office is also airy with glass walls and a gray theme color.I sat on the sofa in his office. He is on a board of directors in a company owned by his Uncle. I went to him to talk about some matters about the restaurant I wanted to build.I was sitting on all fours while leaning on the sofa with my arms outstretched. "To do what they want," I said casually."Huh? Hey, don't you want to do what they want? Wait! It looks like you're planning something bad, huh?" Ton deduced.I shook my head. "I want them to feel disappointed when I get married and suddenly separated from my soon-to-be wife," I reasoned even though I had another reason.I don't know why but when I saw the girl I will marry, I felt a strange feeling that I had to marry her. I
