Chapter 8

 (He married me

                     

                   But love me not )

EVA 

"Mr John, please let me take the test" I plead with Mr John.

Because of that beast I arrived late and I missed the test by just two minutes. I wonder why Mr John would choose today of all days to hold a test. 

"No, Eva. I don't hold my test twice, you had a chance and you missed it" Mr John's tone held finality.

But me, Eva Samuel is not a quitter. I'm gonna pest him until he agrees to give me a make up test.

"Mr John...."

"Eva!" He called me in a scolding tone. "There's no way I can help you even if I wanted to. The school has rules and I can't bend the rules just because you arrived late, I'm sorry Eva but you've failed this test. Try to make it next time!!" 

He packs up his things and leaves the class room. I sigh pitifully and kicked the desk in front of me very hard.

"Ouch!!" I cry out in pain and hold my leg.

"All this is happening because of that beast!" I clenched my fist getting ready to punch the wall, but someone holds my hands.

"Tigress, no matter what happens, don't hurt yourself" 

I turned around and see Sean and Aubrey. I slumps onto a chair and being to pout.

"What's up, miss pouty" Aubrey asked.

She sits next to me, while Sean sits in front of us, on top the desk.

"Let me take a guess, you miss Mr John's test" Sean said without thinking.

I nod absentmindedly.

"Well, that's nature punishing you for leaving without any word" Aubrey said as she casts me an accusing glare.

Mr John is so cruel, couldn't he just let me take the test again?.

Beast Fredrick, he better pray I don't meet him in the house or I swear I'll cut his balls into tiny pieces and fed them to dogs.

"Eva!!" Aubrey's voice wakes me up from my evil plotting.

"Why are you narrowing your eyes like that?" Sean asked and shuddered "You look like snow white's evil mother" he added.

I scorned at him. 

"Thanks very much, Sean" I told him and in an overly sweet voice, I lean towards him and pulled his cheeks.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts" he winced.

"That's what I intended" I told him.

"Ok, that's enough ladies" Aubrey said and remove my hand from his cheeks. 

She turned to me.

"So, Eva. Where were you all night?" 

I sighed and lean on the chair, playing with a strand of my hair.

"I-I..I...moved in with Fred yesterday..."

"What?!!" Sean and Aubrey exclaimed.

"You moved in with Fred?!!" Aubrey shriek in a very high tone.

I slap my hand on her mouth and look around. Some people are looking at our direction, trying to listen to us.

I give them a nervous smile and wave them off...

"Carry on with your stuffs y'all. There's nothing juicy to hear here" I said.

Luckily, they all moved their attention away from our table. I faced Aubrey with a harsh glare, she simply blinked innocently and wear a cute smile.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I was that loud" she said.

I just shake my head.

"Whatever, anyway, our parents decided that before we get married, it'll be good if we get to know each other for while. So they suggested I move in with him" I explained.

They nod in understanding.

As for me I think this getting to know each other is bullshit, spending one night with him, I've already know him.

He is a BEAST! He is a MANWHORE!! 

But you love him, Eva. A small voice said in my head.

Love is foolish!!

Or maybe I'm the foolish one, for falling in love with his handsome face.

"Evaaaaa!" Aubrey and Sean called my name in sing song.

"Why are you always spacing out on us today?" Aubrey asked.

Sean taps Aubrey and winks at her, then turned to me wiggling his eyes.

"I bet last night was too magical and she couldn't get it out of her head" Sean said.

"Yeah, look she's got dark circles" Aubrey added.

I scoffed.

"I wish it was magical. This dark circles are caused from my lack of sleep"

"Ohoo! Don't tell me you guys did it all night" Sean said with dreamy eyes.

If only they knew. They continue teasing me, while I try my possible best to ignore them.

Fred

I smiled victoriously at my perfect work, I place the list of to-do chores on top of ugly's bed.

She thinks she can just waltz into my penthouse and do as she pleases, Ah! She must be mistaken.

She'll so regret giving me that spicy noodles this morning.

I walked out of her room and closed the door behind me.

I changed and head to school. Thankfully this is my last year in this school, honestly, I hate waking up knowing that I'm gonna go to school.

Eva

Time flies by quickly, today wasn't exciting at all. I guess it's because Beast spoiled my mood earlier in the morning.

Finally it's time to go home, I flung my backpack on my shoulder. I head out to go look for Aubrey, we don't have this last class together. And though we don't live in the same house no more, I still have to let her know when I'm leaving the school premises.

I was so lost in my thoughts and wasn't aware of my surroundings. Then I bumped into a hard wall, I close my eyes mentally getting myself ready for the pain, but just when I'm about to fall arms wrapped around me.

"Oh, thank you" I said thankfully. 

I still haven't open my eyes. Then I inhale deeply, this cologne is kinda familiar. It smells like the cologne beast Fredrick wears.

I open my eyes and see.... Fred?? He's staring at me with an evil glint in his eyes. I titted my head in confusion, why is he looking at me like that? What is he planning?

Oh, wait.... He's gonna... Oh please! Don't let go of me or I'll fall face flat.

But that beast did the opposite of what I wished for. He removed his arms and I fell like a heavy log of wood.

"Oops sorry, my hands slipped" he said with no hint of remorse in his voice.

I quickly stand and dust off my clothes.

"Beast!!" I yelled in his face.

He stopped smirking at once, and his expression changes to anger.

"What did you just call me?" He roared.

I involuntarily take a step back.

"I.. I... Peace?" I said, more like asked.

He takes in a deep breath as if to calm himself down.

"Better. Now listen, when you get home, pick out an outfit for me"

"Why would I do that?" I asked.

"Because my sweet ugly, I'm going out with one of my girlfriends tonight or do you prefer I bring her home, and you can hear the soundtrack of live porn?" He asked.

I feel my cheeks warming up as he mentioned porn. How can he just say it as if he's talking about the weather.

"But I'm not your maid or nanny. So I won't" I told him.

His smirk grows wide.

"Yeah, you're not my maid. You're my fiancée, so it's your duty right?" He said tapping my shoulder.

I shrugged his hand off my shoulder and scoffed.

"Alright, I need to go somewhere now"

"Huh?"

"I know you're dumb, stop making it obvious" without another word he walks away.

I take in deep and heavy breaths. He's really a BEAST.

I decided not to meet with Aubrey no more, I just head straight home.

******

I enter the penthouse and flipped the lights on. I head straight to my room.

It's only 2:34pm, I might as well get some sleep before I start with Fred's stupid chores list.

I enter my room, put my backpack in a corner and walk towards my bed. I see a small piece of paper on my bed, I picked it up and check it.

It's a to-do list.

1: pick out an outfit for Mr Fredrick Russell.

2: prepare steaks and cornbread.

3: iron Mr Russell's suit against tomorrow.

4: wash Mr Russell's bathroom (sparkling white).

Humph! What does he takes me for, his PA? 

I squeeze the paper and tossed it across the room. I remove my shoe and fall on my bed.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" I screamed in pain.

I quickly bounce up from the bed and raised my sheets. Then I see three..... NEEDLES!!!

It's official. Frederick Russell is a BEAST! A big ugly beast! A monster!

All I did was give him a spicy noodle, must you go extreme with his revenge?.

He must be inhumane.

Well, since he wants to play dirty, then we'll play dirty together. He wants me to pick out his outfit right, then that is what I must do. As a good and obedient fiancée. 

I dash into his bedroom, I throw his closet open. Every cloth in the closet is black, I guess black is his favorite color. I picked out a black boyfriend jeans and lay it on his bed, then I take out one of his boxers.

Just then an idea crosses my mind. I take the boxer to the kitchen and sprinkles chilli powder on it. Fortunately for me, the boxer is black too, and he won't notice the chilli powder on it.

I take it back to his room and put it on his bed. I dust my hands and laugh wickedly. He'll regret messing with me.

How dare he put needles on my bed to prick my skin.

*******

It's 7:10pm already and Fred still isn't home yet. I sit in the living room waiting for him to come back, I wanna see his expression when he wears the boxer and the chilli powder takes action.

Just then the door open and Fred briskly walks in. I stand up and rush to him.

"Darling, you're back. Welcome home" I said with a very wide smile.

He looks at me strangely, as if trying to figure out why I'm being happy.

Well, my dear beast you can never tell.

"Ugly, tell me you don't have any scheme" he said.

"Scheme? I don't know what you are talking about" I said making an innocent face.

He shakes his head and walk towards the stairs.

"I'll be out all night, don't wait up for me" he said and disappears from my sight.

I sit back on the sofa and starts to flip through channels, I'm not looking for a movie. I just looking for anything that will keep me here and see his reaction.

After minutes of waiting, I finally hear his footsteps approaching. I pretend to be focused on the TV. He head towards the door, open it and step out.

I bet he'll come running back with red eyes. Just count down with me,

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.....

The door flung open and Fred rushed inside.

"Ugly what the fuck did you do!!" He asked in an agonizing tone.

I stand up and feign innocence.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

He doesn't answer me. He simply remove his belt and I didn't expect what he did next.

He pulled down his trousers and boxer.

"Noooooo!!" I screamed.
