Chapter 1 AlexisPartying all night and drinking with my friends together with my ever-loving boyfriend; this is how life is. And hell! I'm enjoying it. But never did I think that my life would change in just one blink of an eye!"It's final," my dad said firmly. "You will marry Zac Rogen Walker."Like seriously?" I shot back. "Dad, are you insane? I'm not marrying him! I don't even know that old billionaire."I said with disdain in my voice.That's disgusting! I can only imagine what he looks like - probably some old, balding guy with wrinkles all over his face. No way! I'm not going to marry him. He must be kidding if he thinks I'd even consider it."Watch your tone! Zac is only 38 years old. He's younger than me," my dad snapped, his face reddening with anger.Well, that's his problem! "I said no! I already have Rond, who's younger and more handsome. Why would I marry him?'" I exclaimed, throwing a tantrum like the spoiled brat that I am.I make my parents worried. But that's
Chapter 2 Alexis Damn, old pervert! What's his purpose, and why is he interfering with my nightlife too? There are countless bodyguards scattered all over the mansion. I can't even swim in the pool. Damn him! "Alexis, dinner is ready. Your mom says to come down now," said Yaya Loring. How can you even eat there with bodyguards watching your every move? What can I do? It's been three days since I've had a nightlife. I miss the noise, the music, and of course, the drinks with my bebe, Rond. He's been texting me nonstop, and he's available tonight. I still haven't told him about my arranged marriage. Let me think of a way. Hmmm... Then, ting! An idea popped into my mind. I slowly made my way downstairs to the kitchen, pretending to get a drink of water. My target? Jasmine, Yaya Loring's daughter. I quickly pulled her into the restroom. She was startled, but I signaled her to be quiet. Fortunately, she understood. And inside the restroom
Chapter 3 Alexis And this is it! My Engagement Party. You better watch out ugly old man!Just a hollow threat.But I am wondering if I will see Zac.Of course, girl. It's your engagement party and he is your fiance!He will surely come.Shut up brain!Hmmm, He should be ready.How dare he insult my beautiful body?Now it's time for my revenge!Suddenly, someone shouted behind me. "You look beautiful, Alexis!" It was Debbie's voice. That loudmouthed girl. I almost fainted! Why does she have to shout so loudly?"You're crazy! I was startled. But I prepared for this, girl. Let's see if Zac Rogen Walker's eyes won't pop out because of my beauty. And I'm sure he will be drooling! Am I sexy?" I asked Debbie with a smile.And she gives me two thumbs up!"The best! More than perfect, girl. I'm sure it's not just Zac's eyes that will pop out, but also his mouth and down below, hehe," Debbie replied teasingly."Those are bad words, Girl! Wait, do you already have a boyfriend? And it seems
Chapter 4 AlexisI'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 HotelWow, 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 be
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 38AlexisI fell asleep in Zac's arms, and to make matters worse, I drooled all over him. How embarrassing. When I opened my eyes, the plane is empty! Where did everyone go? And Zac is still sleeping? I quickly wiped away my drool, relieved that he didn't see it. I touched his face, lightly slapping his handsome features. "Zac, wake up!" I said. But he just groaned and pulled me back into a hug.What's wrong with me? My face is burning, and my whole body too! Gosh, don't tempt me, Zac! I tried to pull away, but his grip on me was tight. Where are the staff? There's no single person around. It's just the two of us.Where are Debbie and Lara? My friends left me behind, of course – they're probably with their boyfriends. Hey, shut up, brain! Stop it!I patted Zac's face again. Should I tap him harder? Maybe that'll wake him up. But why is it so unfair? He looks so handsome even when he's sleeping! He doesn't even drool. I'm the ugly one, huhu. "Zac, hey! Wake up. T
Chapter 37AlexisIt feels like just yesterday when my family flew to Italy. It was just last week, but I'm already missing them so much. Grandpa often calls and video calls, and so do Mommy and Daddy. The only thing is, I'm not used to Mommy's new look – fierce but she still looks stunning! And Daddy, being the tough Tiger he is, has clearly been whipped by Mom, the Lion – haha!And this time, we're the ones flying to Spain. Yes, it's Debbie's wedding! They seem to be in a hurry. All of Hector's family will be there, and you know he's a Mafia King. Here we go again with the Mafia thing. My best friend Debbie will be a Mafia Queen now, and apparently, she's really into it. She loves Hector so much that she's willing to take the risk, mafia or not. I'm really impressed with my best friend, and I'm happy for her – I hope this happy ending lasts. Hector is accepted by Debbie's family because she's their only child, and a spoiled brat, just like me.We're both a bit dramatic and
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,
