I still couldn’t stop crying while he was driving fastly. I can’t stop it. I was very scared. Everytime I close my eyes, I always remember that I almost die. I almost lose my life! It was very traumatic!

When we finally went into our destination, I immediately went out of the car. I don’t know where did I got the energy for it. But then when I was already standing outside, I looked around, thinking that someome might shoot me again. Not sure if I was the target but it really scared me like hell!

I wasn’t in myself the whole party. I was only sitting on my seat, staring blankly on a glass of wine infront of me and thinking of what has happened.

Vren was out of nowhere but I bet he was wandering around to go and thank all of the guests. I was supposedly with him right now but in my state, I don’t think I can do

    On the way to the reception hall, I was silent again. Vren on the other hand was busy talking to someone over the phone while driving the car. Though I couldn’t clearly hear what they were talking about, I assumed it was about business because he mentioned the word ‘cancelled’. Maybe it was a meeting he cancelled. Few minutes before he put his phone down. He glanced at me reason why I panicked. He saw me looking at him! “We’re off to Bangkok after the reception. Did you already packed your things?” he asked. I nodded, still bothered of what I did. I looked at him and when I saw him staring at me, I looked away immediately. Speaking of Bangkok, it was his idea. Again. I did not protest to it since I also wanna go there. But of course, not because of our honeymoon. And thinkin

    "Always remember to smile, Chantylle. You are not allowed to be rude at him, do you understand?" Papa instructed to me as he started driving our car.I rolled my eyes and did not answered.My head is leaning on the window's car while I watch the rain from the clouds to drop on the ground. I noticed how people on the sidewalks were trying to avoid it in the use of umbrella. Some of them were running.Funny to think how a lot of people hate rains. While I love it so much..This is supposedly just a normal day for me in my room, doing my usual routine, if it was not just because of the unexpected meeting my dad said I am in need. Meeting my ass! I know what kind of meeting we are going to. I am not dumb. My parents, especially my father is so easy to read.Papa stopped the car infront of a restaurant near our subdivision. He looked at Mama who is silently looking at me in the rear mirror before he turn

    “What took you so long?” Mama asked strictly when I came back to my seat.Papa is busy talking with Mr. Marzon. They seems to not notice my presence yet.I bit my lips and felt a little bit shy especially when I saw Vren's eyes is on me. Again, it made me uncomfortable. He's like a predator watching his prey. Wait.. What?I cleared my throat. “The restroom was full, Mama. I had to wait for minutes because of that,” I answered.Mama raise her eyebrow but did not replied. Papa got her attention again and they laughed together with Mr. Marzon. Meanwhile, Vren is still staring at me intently. My brows furrowed.Why do he keep on staring at me? Do I have some dirt in my face?Because of that, I unconsciously duck my head to look at the screen of my phone. It is clean. Still beautiful. No dirt. What's wrong with him? I rolled my eyes as I inserted back my phone inside my sling bag. Is thi

    My jaw fell opened after hearing my friend’s reports to me. They showered me the informations that I did not know about 'the' Vren Marzon. How filthy rich he is. That even though his family is already rich, he still strive making his own name in the industry. He is a multi-billionare himself to be exact. Not to mention his inherits from his family. They told me even the tiniest things about him.For a few seconds, I was amazed by him. Definitely amazed that I had forgotten that I met him earlier and how I was irritated at him everytime. I had forgotten his also rude attitude towards me. How he said that line of him that he is my fiancé. And how arrogant he is in my eyes.And now these two are telling me that he is a successful man?Hell. I did not even thought of that. Even a bit! It is not obvious! Truth is, I thought he is just a simple son of a rich man. That idea didn’t really entered my mind. Really!“Seriously

    “Just take me to the nearest mall. My friends and I are going to meet there. After that you can go to wherever you are going,” I said while fixing my hair and checking my make up.I saw him glanced at me while driving the car. My brows shot up and turned my head to look at him. He throwed me consecutive glances that made me thought he wouldn’t answer.“No. Your father said I will accompany you—”I did not let him finish his sentence for I had not stopped myself and let out a soft chuckle. His brows furrowed and glanced at me again but it was kquick.“What are you? A bodyguard?” I chuckled again because him being a bodyguard would also pass for me. He really doesn’t look like a business man!His perfect jaw clenched but he did not talk. I shook my head still laughing to make him more annoyed.“You don’t want me mad.” His voice was so deep and rough enough to make me stop and almost h

But everything really change for a reason. The problem is I don’t know what that reason is.And now I am so much irritated to Vren who is now dragging me without any care. When I almost got trip, he just looked at me like telling me ‘Are you stupid?’ Can you believe that?“Can you please let my hand go?” I said, trying to remove his hand on mine.We stopped infront of his car.

    I was grounded. Papa did not allow me to go out again, for two weeks now. I beg that time without even caring if Vren was still watching and listening to us. Papa’s voice was very serious when he said that but I still hoped he would not take it seriously. I still hoped that he still have mercy on me. However, it really did happened. I stayed in our house and the guards that my father hired were so tight that I never got a step outside the door.It was so painful for me. All I could do was to cry silently in my room. My wrath for the person who did this was beyond the top. Especially when Papa even confiscated all of my gadgets. Reason why I couldn’t contact my boyfriend and friends. Alec must have been worried now that I wasn’t texting nor replying to him. Luckily, he would not dare to come here because I strictly told him when we were still new not to come without my permission. Because if he will, I knew everything will turn into a mess.

    Another week had passed before Papa finally allowed me to go out. He would not do that if I did not agreed to him that I would date Vren, that I will really not. Hell, why would I date him? I have a boyfriend and that is cheating! Besides, I am not forgetting that he is the reason why Papa grounded me for three weeks!“Finally, after weeks of being uncontact, you answered your phone!” Alec whined over the call.It was a sunny Saturday and I was sitting on the bed of my room when I called him. He was the first one whom I called after Papa handed me my phone because he has been calling my dead phone for over 100 times!“I’m sorry.. Something happened—”“Something that is more important than me?” he spatted.“I-It’s not like that—”“Chantylle! You have no

    Today is our wedding day. And I couldn’t help but to feel nervous. I wanna back out. I am not yet ready for this. I mean, I am still 18 yet going to be married already! Now that it’s the most awaited day of everyone, I am kinda having second thoughts. I just realized that if I tie the knot with Vren, everything will change. Just thinking of Vren as my husband, I don’t think I will still have the right to do anything without his permission. I am freaking sure that I won’t be doing anymore what I was doing few months ago. I wouldn’t be free. I wouldn’t get the things I want. And the past weeks with him was the strongest evidence. I don’t want that. I hate that someone is controlling me. I hate that someone is against my decisions. I hate the feeling of I couldn’t do anything I want. &n

    VREN I do not know where the hell she got that idea of hers but it made me really pissed. That is why before I could utter some wrong words to her, I immediately send her off to their house and left afterwards. I went back to my office, still bothered and mad for it. My friends still did not leave when I came inside. “Dude, what the fuck? You did not say that Chantylle Lanzetta is that stunning!” my friend, Race, told me as I walked towards my table. “Yeah. She’s hot!” said Clark. “Just lovely.” Spencer shrugged his shoulders. I glared at all of them. “Shut up. She’s mine,” I said before I sat down. “Woah!” Race reacte

    After the woman came inside the office, I went inside too. My eyes darted into Vren quickly. He is now sitting on his swivel chair, playing the fountain pen in his hands while talking. Meanwhile, his friends were still sitting on the couch. They were talking and laughing so loud.My eyes went to the woman who is now standing beside Vren. I raised my eyebrow when I saw her pulling down her off-shoulder clothes making her cleavage more visible.I gritted my teeth and walked towards them. Vren looked at me and stopped playing his pen. His brows furrowed.“Papa said that you need to take me home now,” I said, narrowing my eyes on him. I sent him dagger looks that made him looked at me with confuse eyes. His forehead creased even more.“Your father did not call me yet.”

    These people! Why do they think so low of me? I crossed my arms and my forehead creased when Vren went in. I saw him glanced at me before he started the engine. I rolled my eyes and looked outside the window. Good thing Vren did not talk to me on the way to their hotel or else I will be ending up really in a very bad mood. Our wedding reception is going to be held in Marzon Group of Hotels. And I did not dare to protest in that decision of them because I myself, love their hotel. I was mesmerized to the highs-class beauty of it. It was really fascinating. No wonder why it is a five star hotel. No wonder why they are so wealthy. So rich. I was in deep thoughts on the ride and if Vren did not opened the door for me, I would not notice that we are already in our destination. Our eyes accidentally met again and this time, I sucessfully avoided the eyes first. I cleared my throat as I went o

    “Eli.. Uh.. I will explain later—” “Why not now?!” she shouted over the line angrily. “Chantylle, why are you hiding things to us now?” I closed my lips. Guilt spread all over my system. I glanced at Vren who doesn’t have a single idea what was happening. I cleared my throat and and seated properly but I immediately regretted that because it made him looked at me. Vren furrowed his brows at me with a questioning eyes. I gulped and ignored him. I turned to Eliana who was still on the line. I sighed. “I am planning to tell you girls about that—” When?” Eliana cut me off. “When we know everything now? Chantylle I thought we are friends? Yet you hide things to us! And you are always late telling us the truth!” I gulped. I turned my head to Vren again and saw that he is now glancing at me with brows deeply furrowed. “

    “Do you like it?” Auntie Amanda asked as she looked at me with hopeful eyes. I looked at the long white elegent gown infront of me. It was lovely. So classic and decent. I can almost picture myself wearing it. “I do not just like it, I love it! So much, Auntie. Thank you!” I said happily. Funny though. I do not like the wedding but I love the wedding gown. The design were just too exquisite to ignore. Auntie Amanda clapped her hands in delight. “I am glad you liked it! We have rushed that because your mother said that your wedding will be on next week! You guys aren’t that excited, huh?” I just smiled at her. When I fitted the gown, it suits perfectly to me. My smile just won’t fade. And for a fleeting moment, I feel so excited. The wedding is going to be in a church because Mama don’t like us to be wed in the west. They do not like it

    “Don’t you have something to do with your life? Why do I have to be with you?” I spatted to Vren’s face as I sat inside his luxury car. It was one of a hella week. Five days to go before our wedding and here I am, still has nothing to do. Eveything is not in my will. My parents wants me to prepare every damn details about the wedding with Vren. You must be with Vren here, Vren there. Vren everywhere! It was frustrating! Everytime I woke up, Vren was already downstairs so much ready for our schedule! “Maybe because I’m the groom,” he said sarcastically. I glared at him. My life was really in hell when I am with him. He always piss me off big time! Even though when he is not doing anything wrong, his face still piss me off. He started maneuvering the car while I turned my head into the window. Somehow, this wedding preparation is making me forgot about Alec
