My Perfect Abrupt Marriage

Chapter 6

Cardyn’s

Having that one-night stand with him shouldn’t have that much effect on him. Since it should have been me who was fantasizing future but I wasn’t. Upon discovering I rolled the sheets with Daniel Manzo, I dared not dream of having a family with him. Besides, let’s just say we just got into the mood and went along with the atmosphere. I wasn’t that drunk but it may be because of the alcohol I drank that night.

I don’t know why Daniel badly wanted to have a marriage binding us together.

I was forced, but he… I think for him this was just a mere play.

I clicked my tongue and averted my eyes from him. I shouldn’t say things like this to him knowing that my brother is working under him, he could take revenge on me using Luke. I sighed and was unwilling to forfeit. Why do I have to act all kind and sweet like other women just to please him?

I gritted my teeth, “It’s my fault,” I lowered my head, “I… went overboard. I will be cautious from now on.”

He smirked at me, “I thought you’d keep your arrogant face. Why is the sudden change?”

I swallowed my saliva.

“Sir Manzo,” I wetted my lower lip, “I am just wondering one thing.”

He put his hands into his pocket, looking cool and handsome all of a sudden in my eyes. Maybe it was because of the handsomeness that got me that night and kept me underneath him without many complaints. Unconsciously, I touched my flushed right cheek and averted my face from him to see me.

“What is it?”

“Why… why do I need to be your wife? There are a lot of women who would be much willing and happier to be in that position.”

He narrowed his eyes at me then gleefully lifted his brow.

“Let’s just say,” he arched his lips, “I like you the most of them.” He then flicked my forehead so strongly that I had to cover it and wince from pain.

I glared at him, looking at the door. “Are we not going home?”

He faintly smiled at me. “All right. If that’s what you wish.”

He even had the nerve to actually, and gentlemanly open the door for me. And as the woman he likes, I got in with a roll of my eyes.

I really couldn’t understand what was happening to me.

I had a one-night stand, I registered a marriage contract I didn’t want to continue but ended up officializing it. And now I have to live with Daniel Manzo? I hate that I’ve been entangled with him. I am not the narrow-minded that gets charmed just because of one-night passion.

It was just confusing.

Well, three months of marriage wouldn’t be a bad idea before divorcing.

I thought he’d utter words but he was just silent throughout the ride. The first plan I had to use was to act fiery and intimidating – perhaps that would make him decide to just part ways with me. As long as I don’t have a connection with the higher-ups, I won’t be doomed to have the same ending as my mother.

I headed inside the house after him, astonished and fascinated by the interior designs I never had the chance to witness previously. Wealthy people are just another level.

“Madame, welcome home.”

“Madame, we’re happy to see you finally.”

I flinched at the word ‘Madame’ they said to me. Do maids of wealthy people really act curtsy all the time? It felt awkward, moreover since I had never experienced it before. My lips twitched even more when I saw them bow at me.

“N-no need to bow…”

“She will be your Madame starting today. Respect and give everything she asks for. Understood?”

I gazed at Daniel who commanded that with a cold voice, and I scoffed. Wow, so he has two different sides? I shook my head.

“There is really no need to bow… and all those things. I am not used to it.”

I gestured awkwardly then Daniel turned to face me. I stepped back, noticing his gaze on me, making me clear my throat.

“You’re the Madame in this house,” he cracked a faint smile, “It’s natural that maids respect you.”

I lowered my gaze then frowned, “I really don’t need to be respected this way. I feel like if they bow at me, I’m belittling their existence.”

Daniel chuckled, “Do you want to bow at them, then?”

Is he seriously mocking me just because I don’t want the bow of his maids? Surely, I can’t live with such an arrogant and unkind person for so long. Maybe I wouldn’t be able to live for three months as I planned.

I shifted my eyes from the maids and Daniel, explaining. “If you insist, I can’t defy.”

“Good. Take her to her bedroom, Head Maid.”

I lifted my eyes at him, “My bedroom?”

“Why? Do you want to sleep in mine tonight?”

I blushed, “Of cou…” I cleared my throat, correcting in haste, “There’s no need. I don’t want to! Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want to say I want to… huh? What am I saying?”

Was it because I got too distracted by his face? Why am I stuttering in front of him? Why am I suddenly like this? I cupped my cheeks.

“Hm, the door of my bedroom is always open for you.”

I snickered, “Hah, wh-why would I go to your room? I… I need to go!” I walked to the left.

“That’s not the way.”

I turned around in embarrassment, “W-what?”

He smiled, “Go up, then turn right. That’s where your bedroom is.”

Ah! I screwed up! That Daniel.
