Chapter 7: Threatening

Chapter Seven: Threatening

"Storm, are you sure Diane Romero was really with me that night?" Treyton asked his bodyguard, Storm.

The bodyguard thought for a moment. He did not expect his boss's sudden interest in what he had been with the night they went to the Enchanted Bar. Most of the time, he only delivers the woman he shared the bed with and at the same time gives a large amount of money in exchange for not showing it anymore.

He didn't care why his boss always have women in bed, because for him that was normal for a rich man. Storm shook his head secretly and looked at the papers on her boss's desk. There is the information he gathered about the Romero brothers.

"Y—Yes, I asked her that night. And also based on the information I gathered, Ms. Daphne does not like to go to that kind of places, she is too conservative and workaholic." Storm responded.

Treyton looked at the papers on the table again. He couldn't understand why nothing seemed to be new every time he saw Diane, but her sister Daphne was strange. He also cannot admit about his illness if he confronts them.

"Hey, what do you want, Buddy?"

They looked at Claude who had just arrived. This is his best friend since they were in elementary school. He is known as a good lawyer but is also undeniably a womanizer.

Treyton signals to Storm's bodyguard that he can come out. Storm immediately got what he meant so he bowed and then left the office. When he turned away from the door, he shook his head. He wasn't really sure which of the two brothers he had given the VIP ID to, because they looked alike. But all the information matches to Diane Romero.

Treyton arranged the papers and laid them neatly in front of his friend. Claude frowned when he looked at it. He seems to be inspecting every piece of information and photo.

"Who's that beautiful girls? New toys?" Claude ffgvb aasked.

"Not a toys, but I need your help," Treyton pointed to one of the photos. "This is Daphne Romero, my fiancé—"

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Your fiancé? Really? Nah. Are you kidding me?"

Treyton's poker face. "Do I look like joking or what? Look, Buddy, this is real. I'm getting married, and I need your help to make another contract."

"Another contract? What do you mean?"

"My marriage is just arrange marriage, and I want to do a contract about me and my Father's deal once I get married to this woman." pointing to Daphne's photo again.

"Oh, okay? Just tell me what you want. And what about this other girl?" Claude took another photo with a smile. "Don't tell me, they are both going to marry you?"

"No. That girl... You'll take care of her. I would like to have someone else work for me, but I remembered that I have a friend who is a stickler for girls, and itʼs you."

"That's great! What do you want to know?"

"If she's... the one who slept with me last last night, and please no sex as much as possible."

Because he didn't know which of the two sisters he was with that night.

“Okay, but I canʼt promise!”

"Doctor Romero, there is a man waiting for you in the lobby." said one of the nurses.

Daphne frowned. She doesn't remember any friends to visit today. She also could not remember which other man could visit her.

"Who is it?"

"He didn't introduce himself, but he is handsome and had a great body build!" nurse said excitedly in front of her the she left.

Handsome and had a great body build? She gasped as a perfect male face registered in her mind. It can't be that man waiting for her. She doesn't want a scandal and she doesn't want her work to affect her personal life.

She hurriedly went to the lobby and there she saw the man she had in mind. Her back was leaning against the wall while staring and not taking his eyes off her. At that time, she felt like she was going to explode with annoyance.

"What are you doing here?" she asked softly but mixed with annoyance as she looked around, checking to see if anyone else could see.

"I'm here to see my wife's work place. Is that bad? Is it not possible?" Treyton said angrily.

"Don't call me wife because we're not married yet. Besides, I'm not giving my permission for you to visit me."

"That's where we're going, I'll still be your husband," Treyton looked around the facilities. "Nice work place, huh? Do they know you're getting married? You want me to make the announcement?"

Daphne felt an intense anger because of his behavior.

"Please, don't make a mess here. They're not even invited. And don't be so sure that I will marry you!"

"Oh, is that what you want?" Treyton brushed away a strand of Daphne's hair that was covering her cheek. But you also shook it off quickly. "You know what Doctor Romero? Mr. Casteñola, the Head Director of this hospital is my Godfather."

Daphne suddenly felt scared. Is this what her Mama is saying that he can destroy the job she is keeping? Now she could clearly see the desperation in Treyton's eyes.

"I can sue you, Doctora Romero. And maybe you're forgetting? Once you don't agree to the marriage, the entire Dream Builders will go to us, and your Papa's name? Phew. It will disappear like a bubble."

"N—No. . ."

"Yes, once you don't agree."

Daphne wanted to yell at Treyton. Her anger grew stronger at this. She didn't think he was this kind of person. It's a far from the man she spent one night with. Far from the man who carefully claimed and hugged her.

"Excuse me? Doctor Romero?"

Suddenly the two looked at the man who had just arrived. When Daphne saw who it was she immediately straightened herself up. It's Doctor Cabrera, her suitor. Of all the days they'd been seeing each other, today was the most thankful because she could finally be free of Treyton.

Treyton's vision quickly darkened. He could clearly see how the Doctor looked at Daphne who had just arrived. He didn't like the way he looked with lust.

"Your new patient?" he asked.

"Huh?" Daphne stuttered in reply then looked at Treyton who now looked angry. "Oh--"

"No, I'm her fiancé, and you are?" Treyton responded gruffly.

Daphne looked at Treyton and Doctor Cabrera in shock. Daphne did not expect a direct response. It really won't miss humiliating her.

The male Doctor grinned at what he heard.

"Are you her fiancé? No, it can't be, because she hasn't mentioned anything to us. And do you know that I've been courting her for almost two years and she still doesn't answer me. What about you?" The Doctor looked Treyton over from head to toe. He can't deny that he is handsome and strong, but he will not defeat him. "Suddenly appear and will say her fiance?"

Treyton's smirked. He wanted to punch the Doctor. "Then, ask her," Treyton looked darkly at Daphne.

Daphne didn't want to make the trouble worse. She felt that her tears would fall in just a few minutes. She did not expect that in an instant her status in the hospital could be destroyed. She was no match for Treyton.

She bowed slightly. "True. He is my fiancé. I'm going back inside." Daphne walked away, and she didn't wait for the two to speak any more. She didn't go to the Doctor's quarters, she go straight to the restroom. Her hands were shaking as she looked in the mirror.

A few seconds later she received a message.

"Good girl. You just don't want to get into trouble. Since now, you need to do what I want, if you want to protect your Papa's name, as well as the profession you are guarding."

The tears that had been looming for a while fell completely. She needs to be strong. Not just one man will destroy her. After that bullsh*t marriage, she will make sure that her life will return to normal.
