Chapter 3: Passionate Seal

Chapter 3: Passionate Seal

"You need to get back home as early as you can tonight, Brielle. We'll have a visitor tonight, so you must fix yourself."

I let out a loud breath as soon as Dad ended the call before I could even react or speak. I rolled my eyes before putting my phone on my table. I am feeling irritated again. That old man is taking advantage of the deal too much that he won't even give me a chance to speak!

And tonight? We'll have a visitor? Who would that be, and why should I be present? I was planning to go to a bar after school before I go home! Damn it. Seems like I won't be able to do my supposed to be plan tonight, then?

"You seems really in a bad mood, Brielle. What happened, really? You were in a good mood yesterday when you left to surprise Calvin—"

Before I could even answer Adi, someone already did that for me, and guess what? It's the lying bitch.

"Wait, what? You planned a surprise for Calvin? Then, how was it? Was he happy—"

"He was extremely happy, Hailey." I cut her off, smiling fakely at her. "Why are you so curious, anyway? It doesn't have something to do with you." I added, and I almost clapped in glee when I saw how her face turned pale. She looked nervous as she bit her lower lip.

She blinked her eyes repeatedly before sighing. She immediately smiled. The bitch quickly gathered herself, but I was too quick on seeing how fuck up she look like in front of me like she was scared that her secret will soon be revealed.

Well, guess what? I knew already, bitch. Tch.

"I—I was just asking, Brielle, chill. You are so hotheaded today. What's your problem?" She asked before pulling a chair to sit in front of me.

We're now inside the classroom, and a lot of our classmates are already gathered inside. The lunch break is almost done too, so it's normal.

And can you even believe that me, Adi, and the bitch took the same course? I was so glad knowing that the three of us took Business Ad back then. Well, that was back then. When I haven't found out about her dirty little secret yet, because right now? All that I can feel is an extreme anger for this backstabber.

"I don't have any problem, Hailey. How about you? Do you have a dirty little secret that you wanted to tell us?" I taunted sarcastically before leaning on my seat, crossing my arms in the process.

My eyes darted towards her hands holding a two cup of frappes. I saw how it trembled slightly. I scoffed and turned away.

Bitch.

"What secrets are you talking about, Brielle? Why are you so not in the mood right now? Why, huh? Is it because Calvin didn't showed up on your date, and it completely ruined your surprise, huh? Is that it? Then, you shouldn't be mad at me. You should be mad at him for not showing up. It isn't my fault that he was such a busy person."

My jaw almost fell to the floor as soon as I heard everything that she said. See how stupid this girl is? She was fucking so guilty and nervous to be caught that she didn't even noticed that she already spilled one of the clues that will point her out as the freaking mistress of my cheating ex boyfriend. Well technically, Calvin's still my boyfriend because I didn't break up with him still, and he didn't break up with me too.

And I am not planning on breaking up with him anytime soon. I have to have my revenge first before I dump him into the mud.

"Calvin didn't showed up, Brielle? Is it the reason why you're in a bad mood?" It was Adi who asked but I choose to not answer her. Instead, I looked at Hailey innocently, tilting my head for emphasis.

"Hmm, how did you know that Calvin didn't showed up, Hailey? I didn't tell you."

Hailey's eyes blinked multiple times. Her mouth opened, and was about to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She just stared at me.

"What? Yes. How did you know, Hail? Brielle didn't even told me about that too." Adi asked too, confused of what's happening.

Hailey shook her head and laughed despite of the nervousness that she was feeling. I can feel it. I can see it just by looking at her gestures. She's scared, guilty, and nervous. Which she shouldn't be feeling right now. She should be feeling confident, right? A confident female dog who loves to bark at a wrong tree.

"It—It was Calvin who told me that! He told me he was too busy to even think about the surprise that you prepared for him. He probably forgot about your anniversary too. You should've told him about it before you planned a whole surprise for him."

"He didn't forgot about it, Hailey. He was the one who greeted me first. And you two were talking?" I asked and raised my right brow. "Since when did the two of you became so close to the point that you guys are talking behind my back, huh? Is there...something that's going on?" I added like I was completely clueless about what's happening to them behind my back, when in fact, I know better.

Hailey's eyes slightly widened. She chuckled like it was so weird to hear. I scoffed. The audacity of this girl to still act like nothing's really going on with her and my boyfriend, huh?

"What are you talking about, Brielle. We're just friends."

"Hmm. Just like how me and you are friends? Like that kind of a relationship, huh? No behind the scene thingy? No betrayal, huh?" I smirked. "Just make sure, Hail. Make sure that, that won't ever happen. Because you might not like the prize of messing with me."

Adi was completely silent the whole time and I know that she's quitely observing. She's always like that. She's smart, so I know she'll figure it out on her own. I don't even have to tell her.

"So, Dad, tell me honestly. Who's the visitor that's going to be here, huh? We've been waiting for too long already, and I'm famished. I want to eat, so that I can rest. I still have classes to attend to tomorrow. I can't stay up late." I sighed, rubbing my bare shoulders up and down to somewhat calm myself.

We've been staying here in the pool side area for like half an hour already, and yet, no visitor has come. I'm already hungry, and I swear to God, I am not liking this set up if that means I couldn't have my fair share of food tonight.

"Sir, the visitors are here." Martha came and I made a mental 'hurray' inside my head.

My father looked at me sternly. "Be nice, Brielle. Please."

Scoffing, I looked away and crossed my arms in the most bratty way.

My eyes darted towards the glass door, and there I saw a tall muscular man, wearing a suit. Behind him are two people which I think are couples and are at the same age with my father.

Before I could even react, Dad immediately stood and waited for the three people to arrive in front of the table that we prepared.

"Mr and Mrs. Sullivan. Such a pleasure to have you in our humble abode. Please have a sit."

"Thank you, Kier. It's nice to be here too." The woman said. The man beside the woman pulled a vacant seat for her, which is in front of me. The woman immediately slid in and looked at me.

She was wearing a kind and gentle smile on her face that I can't help but to return the same smile too. It was genuine. I just know it.

"Kier, is this your daughter? How beautiful. She looks just like you. Like a small version of you." She gushed and my smile widened even more. Thank God she didn't told me that I look like the woman who gave birth to me.

"Good evening, Ma'am." I smiled.

Daddy laughed before sitting on his own chair. I slightly frowned. The seat beside me was still empty. I thought he's sitting beside me?

"Of course, Amelia. Where else would my daughter look like? It's going to be me, of course." I almost rolled my eyes with how smug he sounds like right now.

"Son, you sit beside your fiance." The man said that completely made my mouth dropped. And before I could even react or looked at Dad, someone already pulled the chair next to me. The next thing I know was the manly scent of the man beside me completely invaded my nose.

The whole dinner was...fun. It was of course for the three oldies, while for me? It's boring and awkward! I couldn't even eat properly because I can feel the piercing gaze of the man beside me. I can feel how heavy and intense the way his stare is even without looking at him!

Goodness! I wasn't able to look at him that clearly! But I am already a hundred percent sure that the man beside me is no other than Logan Achilles Sullivan.

And his voice. Oh God! It's something that I would want to hear always! Deep and husky. It wasn't my type back then, but now? Maybe I'll start considering it, huh?

"I think you two should talk to lessen the awkward atmosphere, you know." It was Amelia Sullivan who spoke. She was grinning from ear to ear while staring at me and to the perosn beside me.

"Yeah. That's a good idea, Mom. Thanks." The brute beside me chuckled, but I didn't even spared him a single glance. I know that he's still looking at me, and it would be awkward to meet his gaze!

"Let's go, fiance."

Fiance?!

I wasn't able to react anymore. Well, it would be embarassing to react, so I just choose to stand and walk away from the table first. I even heard the man's deep chuckle again.

My feet dragged me towards the garden, not too far from the pool area. It was somewhat dark in here, so I know that the oldies can't properly see us here. Not unless they decide to stalk us.

"Hmm, you like it dark, huh?" The man retorted, but I didn't bother to answer him. I don't really want to stutter right now since it was a bit cold here.

"So, you accepted the deal."

I almost rolled my eyes. Yeah? Isn't obvious?

"And you like playing mute too. Don't worry, after our wedding, I'll make sure to make you scream in our bed."

"Asshole." I muttered bitterly. I really thought that it was a rumor that this man's a big casanova. Turns out, it wasn't a rumor at all. It was true.

I heard him chuckled, and I hate to admit it, but I am actually starting to get really swayed with the sound of his laugh.

It was just...like a music to my ears.

"I accepted the deal because I need you, not because I want you." I mumbled hardly, and we both fell silent after that. I gulped. Did I...offend him or something?

"Feeling's mutual." He answered coldly that I have to hug myself when shivers started to ran down to my spine.

"I want a divorce—"

"We're not fucking even married yet." He spat out.

"After a year, then. After a year of marriage, I want a divorce." I still have a lot of dreams, and my marriage to him will be a hindrance to all that dreams that I want to reach. Soon.

"Fine. I'll let you divorce me. Right after you give me an heir, a child. I want a child with you, only that I will let you divorce me."

What the fuck?

Angry, I faced him but I didn't expect the next thing that he did.

My eyes only widened when he held both of my cheeks with his calloused and big hands. I was shock to even move, and I admit, I was drowned with his eyes. His freaking electric blue eyes were sending me to different kinds of heaven!

"Now, why don't we seal the deal, huh?"

"W—what seal? A stamp? Should we sign a paper—"

"I meant this, babe. This kind of seal." And with that, he immediately slammed his lips to mine, kissing me like there's no tomorrow. It was heated at first, so territorial, but then it turned into a passionate one, that made my legs wobble. I would've fell if not for his sinful arms that surrounded my waist...tightly.
