I Will

      “Are we there?” I asked the driver   “No Ma’am, I’m sorry your husband must be waiting for you.” He apologized. I shook my head and put the bill on the car seat and went out. Fuck this, I’m running to our location. I heard the driver shouted for my change, but I didn’t mind him.   I ran through the highway and I can already hear their cheers and some even congratulated me! They fucking thought I’m a bride that is late for her wedding. What the hell...   “I’m here! I’m sorry, I’m late!” I opened the big double doors. Wait...   Why are there many extras? Where is Caleb? Why is there a priest in front?   My eyes widened upon realizing something. Oh shit Nola this is fucking embarrassing. Wrong location! Retreat!   This is a real wedding!   I waved my hands awkwardly and was about to go out when th

We’re already here at the reception and I’m currently talking with five guys. They’ve explained what is really happening and I found out that the guy beside me was forced to marry because if he doesn’t, his grandfather will take all of his riches and send him to their farm.   I scoffed at his reasons. What’s wrong with being a farmer? For his information, it is the farmers that provide us food to eat but unfortunately, they were unappreciated and often abused by the country’s government itself. I stared at my ‘husband’. I studied his face. Hmm… He’s quite familiar. But what boggles my mind is why does he have to hire a woman to be his wife? With his face, he can get any woman he wants in just a simple wink. Is he perhaps… I shook my head to get rid of that thought. C’mon now Nola don&rsquo

Malcolm and Keegan dragged the old man out of the restaurant and Aries went immediately to my direction. He cupped my face and his jaw tightened when he saw something wrong on my face. That old hag! Does he have powers or special ability? That slap was fucking hard! My face almost turn in 360 degrees. I remained standing and was unable to say something. “That fucking bastard!” he whispered. Why is he mad anyway? I’m the one who got slapped not him. “I’m okay Aristotle, I managed to break his bone! I heard it crack!” I said and clapped like a seal. “Keegan call my secretary. Tell her to withdraw all my investments with that company.” He said with authority. “Hey! You don’t have to do that! Just burn that man alive! Kidding.” I tried to let out a joke but no one laughed. Aries was just staring at me and suddenly hugged me tight. Seriousl

   “Remind me again on why did I agree on coming with you here in the supermarket?” he asked while pushing a big cart filled with our groceries. We decided to buy groceries in the supermarket of his one of the many branches of malls he owned.  The moment we entered the mall, the staffs panicked. They were surprised seeing their big boss here wearing casual clothes. They were too surprised that they almost call a marching band to perform.   How unbelievable!  The staffs were planning on following us until we reached the supermarket but, Aries got annoyed by the attention he was getting so, he shooed them away.  I grinned at my husband who was frowning. “It’s because you are in a good mood,” I answered while also pushing an empty cart. I looked at the list and there were still m

  “Wow this is pretty! Thank you, Aries!” My sister giggled happily as she stares at the different colors of acrylic paints and canvas scattered on her bed that Aries bought for her weeks ago when he had a business trip to Japan.  It’s been three days since my sister was finally out of the Intensive Care Unit. Aries also decided to have a private room since our spot was taken last week in our old room. I felt bad, I’m going to miss those ladies from the room who kept my little sister company when Caleb and I are both busy because of our jobs. He also assigned some maids back at home to take care of my sister while I’m away and working. I can’t just let Caleb take care of my sister every time because he has his own life and a job. Good thing the maids are very trustworthy, they were one of the maids who I keep talking with whenever I’m bored in the h
