Chapter 4
Alexis I'm not happy with this wedding. It's such a hassle. The engagement party just ended, and now there's a bridal shower? Crazy! I'm supposed to be as excited and happy as the bride, but I'm bitter! And now, we're on our way to the Paradise Hotel which is owned by Zac. Where our Bridal shower and Stag party take place. And trailing behind our car are numerous bodyguards. No escape for me! Plus, Daddy even drove me here himself. At the Hotel Wow, the Paradise Hotel is amazingly huge and beautiful! This ugly old man is wealthy. My bridal shower will be held in one of the grand ballrooms here. As I entered, my friends surprised me, and our group was complete now because Joanna and Lara were already here. Our two crazy loudmouthed friends! "Girl, you're getting married and you didn't even tell us. We had to see it on the news!" Joanna said, hugging me. "Yeah, you looked beautiful at the engagement party!" Lara added. This one's as loud as Debbie! "I've always been beautiful, girls. But it's a disaster that my beauty will be wasted on Mr. Ugly old man!" I replied, annoyed. The girls burst out laughing! "Don't judge the mask by its cover, Alexis. Who knows, maybe Mr. Ugly is handsome underneath, and he'll make your panties drop, hehe." Debbie is always joking around. She's something else! "Where's the handsome part? Have you read the blind items online? Mr. Ugly is always the subject, and he's really ugly," I replied, getting annoyed. "Let's not be negative, girl. Let's go and start your bridal shower, I'm excited to see some abs. Ayii!" Ew! Lara is disgusting. The three of them are excited, they're also kinda pervy. Ugh, how can I escape this wedding? You're trapped, girl. Goodbye freedom, Goodbye Bebe Rond. Here we go again, stupid brain! The girls squealed loudly when the three cowboy dancers came out. They had huge bodies, like sumo wrestlers, but thankfully, they had nice abs. But for me? I couldn't care less about those abs. No spark, no thrill. I was bored! And I will escape... I managed to slip out of the ballroom hall without them noticing. They are so busy ogling the abs. Where am I headed, girl? Hmmm, Let's continue walking. Along the way, I saw a furious-looking gay. "You idiot! What now? Who's going to dance at the Stag Party? Why did your dancer have to be absent now?" The veins on his neck were almost popping out from shouting. Stag Party? That rings a bell. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Let's go to the party! "Hello, mamang! What's your problem?" I asked him. "Why do you care?" he replied. This ugly gay is rude. But let's be patient to succeed. "Maybe I can help," I said in a suspenseful tone. Then he looked at me from up and down... "Perfect! You're the one, girl. Let's go," he said, dragging me away to who-knows-where. And I was right! I'm now at Zac's Stag Party, dressed as a cowgirl. Good thing I requested a mask. It's more exciting this way. Let's surprise him, hehe. Get ready, Zac, haha. Don't you want to reveal your face? Well, I'll unmask you, bwahaha. Just laughing like a demon lol. It's revenge time, Mr. Ugly old man! But, how can I dance in front of so many people? I'm a bit nervous. This outfit is sexy. It fits my beautiful and sexy body. But that ugly guy said that I'm fat! Let's see now, Mr. Ugly old man if your briefs don't fall off. We've entered the ballroom hall where the party is happening. And where am I supposed to dance? Don't tell me it's just here. Oh no! It's embarrassing, girl. Good thing I'm wearing a mask. We were immediately pulled by a man in formal attire. He said that the party is about to start and we need to get ready. But I couldn't see Zac. Where is he? I asked the man about him. He's still in the secret room, resting. Good thing the man is stupid. And he told me where the secret room is! The two cowgirls started dancing while I ran towards the secret room. I had to hurry, girls, or they might call me to dance and it would ruin my plan. Found you! The secret room had a painting of the Mona Lisa. I press Mona Lisa's nose, and the door on the side automatically opens. Yay, I'm so clever, girl! In fairness, the secret room is huge. Where are you, ugly old man? I walk quietly to surprise him. But I'm the one who was surprised! He's sitting there without a shirt, and still wearing a mask! I didn't mind those abs of his. My mission is to reveal his ugly face. But girl, his 8-pack abs are distracting! Good thing his beautiful body makes up for his ugly face. I took out my cell phone and chose a song to play. And I slowly danced towards him. Zac turned around, and the crazy guy didn't even look surprised! What's wrong with him? My sexy body is already amazing, but he's completely ignoring me, damn him! But it's okay. I'm not giving up, girl. I approached him. This is it, Alexis, find your timing. Pull his mask! Oh brain, calm down. You're even more excited than I am. Zac is just staring at me. Whatever, I'll just keep on dancing. And here I go, I'm close to him now. I'm going to pull his mask! But his hands are quick. He grabbed me and gently pushed me away. Good thing the ugly old man is gentle. "Stop that! Ms. Buenavista. I know it's you," he said seriously. "You're annoying! You should have told me earlier, so I wouldn't have looked like a fool dancing here!" I replied angrily. But the ugly guy just laughed. "You're always funny. But let's talk about something serious." He was really serious. I sat down in the chair across from him. "Okay, what is it, Mr. Walker? You're being serious," I asked in a serious tone. Oh, yeah! I'm also making a serious face. "Let's talk about our marriage. I know you already have a boyfriend," he started the serious conversation. "Good thing you know. Let's be real, I don't want to marry you." There, I said it, girl. He just chuckled, and it was somehow cute. But I'm still bothered by his abs. Why doesn't he want to put on a shirt? "Wait... Can we be formal with our clothes too? Can you please put on a shirt?" I interrupted him. And then he burst out laughing. Ugly old man! He left for a moment and when he came back, he was wearing a casual t-shirt. At least that's better. Not that macho dancer image. "Is it okay?" He asks. "Yeah, It's okay. Now, sit down and let's talk again." I answer. And he sits down in front of me. "Here, kindly read this and if you agree, please sign," he said. Hmmm, I smell something fishy! What is this ugly old man planning right now? I read it carefully and slowly. Of course, I need to understand what's in it. I might get taken advantage of by this ugly guy. It's a marriage contract between us. And everything is in favor of me, except for one thing. I'm a bit bothered by this. "Sex is not allowed with ANY other men except with me!" This ugly guy is a pervert! "Sex is all you want? Why me? There are plenty of women out there!" I'm getting irritated. What? Is he going to make me his sex toy? At least if he is incredibly handsome, but no, he's ugly! "I'm a careful and disciplined man. I don't just pick up anyone to sleep with. And we're talking about my heir, my successor," he explained. This ugly guy is choosy? Nobody would even consider him! I'm annoyed. "So you want me to bear your child, right? To give you an heir?" He's amusing! "Yes, exactly. That's why you can only have sex with me. I don't want dirty women who sleep around with just anyone," he said with a disgusted expression on his face. Even though I couldn't see his face clearly because of the mask, I could sense his disgust! What does he think of me? A loose woman? He's always making me angry! "Hey ugly, I'm still a virgin! I'm pure, you idiot!" And he just laughed. I want to choke him! "Then, that's great! I didn't make a mistake in choosing you. So, is it a deal?" he asked. Is it a deal? I can do whatever I want. Even my relationship with Bebe Rond is okay with this ugly old man. Except for this sex thing! Just close your eyes, Alexis, so you won't see his ugly face when you have sex, haha. Shut up, brain! And you're even laughing in this situation. "Wait... Let me think about it for five minutes," I'll think about it again, girl, in case we make a mistake. "Okay, sure, would you like some juice?" The crazy guy even offered. "Yes, if you have it, I'd like apple juice, thanks." Look at how nice I am. After I drink my apple juice, I decided to agree and signed the contract. I mean, I won't lose anything anyway. Whether I like it or not, we're getting married. So, why make things harder for myself? It's like I'm dealing with the ugly devil. I might as well enjoy this instead of going crazy and still not being able to escape. What will my future be like, huh? I can already see it. Maybe the ugly old man will have ten kids with me! Oh no, my sexy body will be ruined!Chapter 5 AlexisThe contract between the two of us has already been signed. So, I want to celebrate. But not now, don't get too excited. I'm stunning in my sexy, beautiful gown! And everyone's waiting for my husband-to-be. I wonder where that ugly man is now. He's always late and so full of himself. And speaking of the devil, here comes the ugly man...He is coming towards us. And take note, he's still wearing that mask! I don't care, as long as I get my freedom, even if he never takes off that mask forever, I couldn't care less. Our photoshoot has started, and my jaw is already aching from smiling so much.That's because you're so plastic, girl! Stop it, brain! This ugly man, can't stop staring at my beautiful and sexy body, ah. Even with his mask on, we look like a couple deeply in love in the pictures. Just as the photoshoot was about to finish, Bebe Rond suddenly arrived!"Talk to him in private, not here. Go somewhere else," Zac whispered softly to me. But at least he
Chapter 6 AlexisI nearly fainted! I never thought Zac would pull off his mask and reveal his face. And, friends, it wasn't just my drool that flowed - my panty also fell off without me realizing it, haha! But that was just a joke! I was just being overly dramatic because of the shock. My knight in shining armor and the man with gray eyes is my Old Billionaire Husband! Shocking, right?"It's you!" Of course, I had to play it cool.That's all I could pretend to say. I just felt like being cute. "Yes, it's me." He said and put his wine glasses down. Then he walked towards me.Don't tell me!Oh no, even though you're handsome, I still don't have any feelings for you. "Hello baby, I'm Zac Rogen Walker, nice to meet you."And then he extended his hand to me, batting his eyelashes to look cute.I thought something was up, but he was just introducing himself. I stood up and shook his hand. "Hi, I'm Alexis Jenn Buenavista," I said."And I'm NOT your baby." I smiled at him, hoping h
Chapter 7AlexisI woke up with a drool still dripping from my mouth. Gosh, how embarrassing! And Zac and I were hugging? What is happening here? I quickly pushed him away. But his muscles were so hard.This ugly guy is also heavy. I think we overdid it with the Tong-its and wine.But he never lost, by the way. This ugly guy is acting drunk."Hey, move aside!" I woke him up. And he didn't want to wake up - I thought our flight was early? This Shameless guy!"What's wrong? Wake up, Ugly!" And since he didn't want to wake up, I pinched his nose.Let's see his reaction!"What the hell!" he shouted.Haha, success! "You're still in the hotel, not yet in hell! And please move aside, your creepy hands are clinging to my body." I shouted in annoyance.And at last, he let me go. Then he burst out laughing loudly! "Why do you look like you're drunker than I am?" I asked, getting irritated."Your face!" Then he laughed again.OMG! Oh yeah, right! My face is full of drawings. You're a r
Chapter 8AlexisI failed, and my revenge didn't work, but as they say, "Better luck next time." So, ugly Zac, watch out! What a demon, girl! Stop it, Brain, it's now or never! I woke up early and headed into the kitchen. Guess what's on my mind? Let's do this!The kitchen staff were busy. Zac requested sushi for breakfast, his favorite Japanese dish. Now, let's focus on our target - the sushi!"Hey, Chef! Can you get me some toasted bread or any available bread?" I gave him my sweetest smile, hoping he'd leave, even if only for a moment. "Sure, Madam, I'll get it for you." Then he walked away.It's time for my revenge!I quickly grabbed the bottles of salt and sugar. Then sprinkle them into the sushi mixture. Perfect timing, too - the Chef hadn't rolled the sushi yet. Now, enjoy your meal, Zac! Haha. I smirk evilly. I didn't leave the kitchen until the Chef had wrapped and rolled the sushi. It's a done deal, bestie! I'm so excited. Ugly Zac, this is your real revenge, hehe
Chapter 9AlexisThat annoying Zac left me here at the mansion again. I'm getting bored being stuck here with no one to talk to except the strict headmaid. I couldn't even enjoy the view. It's so boring!I want to escape! But the bodyguards are scattered all around. What a sad life.But you know me, I love adventures. Let's escape, friends!I snuck into the empty kitchen, searching for the Chef's uniform. But, it was not in favor of me, only a maid's uniform was available. This will do. I'll add some glasses so I won't be recognized. To be fair, the maid's uniform looks good on me. The only problem is that my body is too sexy, making it seem like I'm just cosplaying as a maid. Hehe, the sexy maid in the making!Here I go! I'm exiting through the gate. The guards and bodyguards aren't paying attention to me.Just as I am about to escape... Ouch! My face collided with something, and it hurt so much. My nose is fuming with anger. "You, pick up all the fruits that you damaged!" t
Chapter 10AlexisOh my goodness, meeting his parents was a total disaster! After that humiliating dinner, I went straight to my room and didn't come out again. I looked so beautiful, and then I got choked! It's hard for me to imagine and picture how I looked at that time. All I know is that I screamed at the top of my lungs when I saw my face in the mirror!Who wouldn't be shocked? My eyes looked worse than a panda's - they were black and blue. My lipstick was smeared everywhere.They said my mascara was waterproof, but that was a scam! My beautiful eyes ended up with black eyes. Waterproof, my ass! No wonder Zac and his dad couldn't stop laughing. They were staring at my face. So annoying!But Mom was still floating on air, dreaming of having grandchildren. My beauty is stressing me out, huhu now, Zac will say that we'll visit his parents' mansion again.What does he think I am? I don't want to die twice!"NO WAY! You go there alone. Your mom is even more stubborn than I am,
Chapter 11AlexisWe're already at the airport, and Mom and I are getting emotional. Mom is pouring her heart out while saying goodbye to us. But I'm the best actress, after all! I'm crying too."Please stop crying, Mom. We'll be back, or you and Dad can visit us, okay?" I comforted her while patting her back. I'm the best daughter-in-law in the world!"I'll miss you, my daughter-in-law," Mom said, tearfully, and then hugged me again."Don't worry, Mom. We might visit again soon," I reassured her, but she just cried.And with that, the drama between the mother and daughter-in-law came to an end. We finally boarded, and I'm ready to meet my Bebe Rond! I miss him so much. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach, thinking about his handsome face."Fasten your seatbelt," Zac called me. I'm very excited, haha!"Done, thanks Zac," I answered with a smile."No need to thank me," he said, returning his attention to his laptop. "We had a deal. Just enjoy your date."This guy is a workaholi
Chapter 12AlexisI'm so bored! I'm not allowed to go out. They're guarding me 24/7, and Dad increased the number of bodyguards inside and outside. He's unbelievable! To make things worse, Rond texted me that we would have a date today. I'm so frustrated! Zac can't do anything, he can't go against my tiger dad.It's Valentine's Day, and I was excited to go on a date with my love, Rond. I'm also super excited to see what surprise gift he has for me. I texted him that I might not be able to make it, but he hasn't replied. Where could Rond be? I'm feeling sad now. What kind of life is this?Someone knocked on the door. I'm too lazy to get up and open it. I don't feel like standing up."Girl, are you deaf?" Debbie shouted while knocking. "Open up, Alexis, and let's catch up! Tell us about your honeymoon," Lara arrived, followed by another knock. "Girl, we're dying out here!" Joanna exclaimed dramatically.Wow, the trio is complete! What's going on, and why did they suddenly show up?
Chapter 36AlexisThis is it – we were all at the airport, and it was time to say goodbye to my family. I felt an overwhelming sadness wash over me. I'd been crying in the car earlier, clinging to Mommy as we hugged tightly. I will miss her, and Daddy too, despite his constant scolding. And Grandpa... who would cook chicken soup and call me "little princess?"The thought of living without them, even though I can still see them, is unbearable. I don't think I can handle it."Shh, show them you can do it. Don't show them you're weak. They'll just worry more," Zac whispered, holding me close. Thankfully, his amnesia had brought out this side of him, and I had him to lean on now. He'd been my rock these days, always there for me and being sweet. But what would happen when the real Zac returned? Would he still be sweet to me? Probably, but as a friend and little sister, not as...more. Why was I even thinking about that now? Don't get too attached, Alexis! Shut up, brain, you're a
Chapter 35AlexisFinally, Zac was discharged from the hospital. Mom had calmed down a bit after her tantrums towards him. Now, we're at our mansion, where Mommy and Daddy are hosting a despidida party. I didn't want to attend, but Mom and Debbie encouraged me. Lara's also here, so our group is complete, except for the traitor Joanna. She got her revenge on me, but I still hope karma catches up to her. They're all having a great time, and it's lovely to see them so happy. We're having a barbecue party in our heart-shaped pool. Grandpa's happily jumping around in the water, while Mommy and Daddy are sweetly eating together at the table. I wish I could have a love life like my parents.Mom wouldn't let Lara go, and they were chatting away - I'm not sure what they're talking about, but good luck to Lara with Mom's antics! Dad was shaking his head, watching them. The real highlight is Hector and Debbie, they're so sweet, it's like they're glued together. I'm happy for my friend,
Chapter 34AlexisI felt embarrassed about that! Debbie is silly! Zac's facial expression is unreadable. I quickly stood up and pulled Debbie outside. "Zac, we're just going to get some fresh air outside, okay?" I said, taking my leave. "Go ahead," he replied curtly. But Debbie slipped out of my grasp."Wait a minute, girl," she quickly walked over to Hector. And kissed his lips! Debbie, you're so shameless. Zac seemed unfazed, so I looked away, trying to avoid the awkwardness. "We're stepping out for a bit, babe," Debbie said sweetly, after devouring, I mean, kissing Hector's lips. "Take care," he replied and gently held her face."Ahem! We're just going outside, not to Canada, haha. Let's go!" I pulled Debbie away. Meanwhile, the two of them were still gazing lovingly at each other. Good grief, some people just have all the luck. But I am happy that my friend has finally found her soulmate. What about me? Not Rond. He was already with his demonic fiancée. I felt an ove
Chapter 33AlexisDaddy entered my room first. He is quite calm now, and his face wasn't as fierce as it usually was, like a tiger. What happened to Daddy? "Sit down, Daddy," I invited him. He sat down on the couch and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry for what happened in your life, especially about your marriage," he said softly.Daddy looks sad! "It's okay, Daddy. As long as I don't have to be a Mafia, I'm fine with it," I replied."I looked for trouble when I fell in love with your Mom," he said, shaking his head. "But I love her, and I'm willing to do anything for her. Yet, you've been the one to suffer." He continued, "I arranged for you to marry Zac for our family's protection. Since he's indebted to your grandfather, he agreed." Daddy said."Protection? But Zac isn't a Mafia, is he?" I asked, confused. "Yes, he's not," he explained. "But their family is one of the most powerful in the country and internationally. They have many connections with powerful mafias, like his frien
Chapter 32AlexisI was taken aback by what I heard from Grandpa and Mommy. Daddy was quiet, and I was shocked! My tiger-like dad suddenly vanished.But what? I'm the next Mafia Queen? The Crazy Queen seems more fitting. Oh my gosh, what's happening? Is this the punishment for my past sins? Being lazy, always partying, and all the other crazy things I did before.It does sound cool, but I still don't want it! I can't handle all the killing and shooting. But, to be fair, I have Italian blood, haha. Oh, I'm so beautiful! "We are the most powerful and famous Mafia Group, not just in Italy, but in the entire Mafia World!" Grandfather began. My popcorn is taking too long! I had it cooked especially for Grandpa's storytelling. "Wait, Grandpa! Let me get my popcorn first, hehe." I said, scratching my head.He just laughed at my craziness. I quickly ran to the kitchen. The popcorn is already cooked. I took it out and sprinkled a generous amount of cheese powder on it. Grab one wate
Chapter 31Third Person POVHector didn't know how to tell Debbie. He just wanted to test her, to see how far her love for him would go. He had been betrayed before and didn't want it to happen again. So, he just said whatever came to mind to Debbie. But he didn't expect to fall for Debbie's beauty and sense of humor."So, what's going on, Hector? Or maybe that's not even your real name?" Debbie asked, her voice laced with frustration.The bubbly, lively, and loud Debbie had been replaced by a serious and unenthusiastic one. Who could blame her? She was deeply hurt when she found out Hector was married, but she continued the relationship because it was the first time she had fallen in love."Babe," Hector said softly. "Don't call me that. What about your so-called wife? What's your term of endearment for each other?" Debbie asked angrily. "Fine, I'm sorry. I have no wife, and I've been hiding my identity," Hector said seriously. He dropped the bombshell to avoid further questio
Chapter 30AlexisI cried and cried until no more tears would come out. My sorrow is overwhelming! Why is this happening? It seemed even sadder than Rond's engagement! I clung to Zac, and suddenly, he moved! His hand stirred. I sit down and look at him. Slowly, he open his eyes. Hallelujah!Thank God Zac is finally awake."Zac?" I asked joyfully. And due to my overwhelming happiness, I hugged him tightly. But he immediately pushed me away!Damn you, Ugly. "Who are you?" he asked, furrowing his brow. Oh no, don't tell me? The door opens, and the doctor and Grandpa entered!"Zac, you're awake now!" Grandpa exclaimed with extreme joy. "Mr. Night? What are you doing in here?" Zac asked, puzzled. It's unfair! He recognizes Grandpa, but I'm a stranger to him. "Hey, Doc, what happened to him?" Grandpa asked seriously. The doctor examined Zac before answering the questions on our minds."He's experiencing temporary amnesia. And all he can remember is his past. But don't worry,
Chapter 29AlexisUgh, it's ridiculous! Every time I hear those annoying thugs mistaking me for Grandpa's lover, I'm like, "What the heck? You're shameless!And the one holding me is ugly! He's even got a big belly. Am I going to faint again? Never! I'll keep fighting!But honestly, I'm getting scared. I feel sorry for Debbie, who won't stop crying and is shaking with fear. Hang in there, Besh! I looked her straight in the eye, hoping she'd understand. "Don't hurt her!" Grandpa shouted, but we're getting close to them."You're so sweet, Night. It seems like just yesterday, you were crying uncontrollably over Amanda's passing. I just can't believe you replaced her so easily." The ugly man was still smiling, but then a glimmer of sadness flashed in Granpa's eyes. He looked like he was about to cry. Is Amanda my grandmother? Poor Grandpa, if she's gone. And that ugly, stupid man is just smiling."Shut up! It's because of your evil son!" Grandpa shouted. And to make matters worse,
Chapter 28AlexisI'm about to cry. I can feel that it's not Manong! It's like a demon version of him, huhu. "Manong, stop the car!" I shouted again, and Manong just grinned at me. Good thing Zac Woke up! "What happened?" he asked, still sounding sleepy. Don't fall asleep again, Zac!"Manong is acting like a demon! And look at the road! This isn't the way home anymore, huhu," I replied tearfully. Zac immediately looked at Manong, and in an instant, he pulled out a gun! This is turning into an action movie again! What's happening to my life, huhu? I'm going to faint, and I'll drool.Not again!No, I must be strong. It's embarrassing! Zac's hands moved swiftly, and he grabbed the gun from Manong. Without hesitation, Zac pulled the trigger, and Manong's head jerked back!I felt like vomiting, but I held it in. I must be strong! Our car screeched to a halt, but Zac quickly grasped the steering wheel and stopped the car at the side of the road. He threw Manong out of the window.
