Sonia's eyes started to become misty as she turned away, shaking away her thoughts.

Daniel slid his thumb down her chin. "Look at me," he said softly. He didn't want her to feel wronged. In fact, that's the last thing he wanted her to feel. He wanted her to feel as if she was the only one in the world for him.

Hearing that, Sonia sniffled and gazed up at him innocently. "What's so attractive about you?" she murmured.

"I'm better looking than him," he snorted. His dark eyes glinted under the dim light.

"You wish." She barked out a laugh, but before she could say anything else, he leaned over and kissed her. His kiss was like a shock of electricity. She trembled against his touch as she leaned closer into his arms.

Her face reddened. She didn't expect that the cold man would have such an arrogant side. He even dared to kiss her in public!

Since Daniel was now her boyfriend, she couldn't reject his hold, but she definitely wasn't going to let go of him that easily.

Sonia lifted her foot under the tablecloth and secretly kicked him hard on the shins.

He pulled away as he leaned against her ear. "I have the right to do that," he whispered. His breath fanned against the side of her neck, and she stiffened.

"Your right lasts till the afternoon," she snapped softly. She continued to kick him, but every kick was lighter. For outsiders, it looked like they were flirting with each other.

"I can always keep that right," he said casually.

While James was walking up the crimson steps, his gaze steadied on Sonia. At the sight of her with another man, his heart crippled in jealousy. It was as if the world had decided to douse him with bitterness and sourness to last him a day.

Fabian gritted her teeth beside him. "Shameless bitch!" she spat. "She confessed her love for you the day before yesterday and now she's making out with some other man." James clenched his fists. Suddenly he stood up from his chair and stomped out of the room without saying a word.

"Where are you going? The ceremony is about to begin," she shouted, but he completely ignored her words.

Her nails dug into her palms as she thought of ways to hold him back. She would not let that bitch ruin this moment for the both of them!

Seeing that Sonia was heading to the toilet, she followed as a malicious smile threaded across her lips.

"And here I thought you were innocent. I never knew you have such an obscene side," Fabian said with a smirk.

Taking a deep breath, Sonia decided to ignore her.

Noticing this, Fabian decided to take a different approach. "Actually, I'm kind of worried for you. There must be loads of beautiful women hounding around your boyfriend. With you being so boring, I bet that he'll grow tired of you in less than two months."

Sonia scoffed, "Even if you break up with James, we won't." 

"Humph! Bitch!

You want to bet?" she taunted.

"What's the bet?" Sonia crossed her arms over her chest and turned around, wanting to see what other tricks the woman had hidden under her sleeves.

"I bet that your relationship can't last for two months. If you break up, then you lose," she said slowly.

That was the bet? It was as if she was betting with a five-year-old!

Sonia sneered and was about to leave, but Fabian's sarcastic laughter stopped her in her tracks. "What a coward! I know you wouldn't dare. You know what? I bet you can't even last a month in his arms. You probably got two weeks, and it's over before you even know it."

    Taking a deep breath, Sonia turned around slowly and said, "If you're so sure of yourself, let's take a bet!""Okay!" Fabian smiled complacently. She had been competing with Sonia for such a long time. She knew her so well that she could easily predict her moves. Sonia was obviously inferior to her. She was like a stupid bug whom she could bait and trap easily at will. Right now, she swallowed her trick hook, line and sinker. "Today is April 3. If you don't break up with that man on June 3, you win the game. But you would lose the game if you two break up before the agreed date. As punishment, the loser would have to wear a bikini and dance in the Century Square!""Okay!" Sonia agreed without hesitation. She then took her cellphone out of her pocket and asked Fabian to repeat the conditions of the bet. The recording would serve as the proof of their bet, in case she planned to back out when she lost. "You just wait and see how I will punish you!" She sneered as she walked away.Lookin

    "Go ahead." Thinking of this, Sonia sighed in relief. She would do anything as long as his list of requests weren't asking too much of her."First, no affairs. You don't cheat on me. Second, you'll have to take care of me," he said seriously as his lips straightened into a thin line.How dare he? The first condition didn't even make any sense! The second one was that he obviously intended to treat her like a slave. As they say, if one handed you lemons, you can just go and make lemonade. She shook her head at the thought.But as long as she could win the bet against Fabian, then she could bear all of it. After all, it was only for two months. "Fine, but you should also behave yourself. Don't take advantage of me," she warned him. "I've seen every part of your body, and there is absolutely no part that I haven't touched. What else can I take advantage of?" he teased.Sonia flushed, wishing that the ground beneath her could swallow her right up. She wanted to curse him into the oblivi

    She quickly picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around herself. Her face was tomato red. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. His eyes lit up almost immediately, looking like a kid whose Christmas present got in early. In the blink of an eye, he stood in front of her. She was so scared that she completely forgot to run away. She bowed her head and stepped back, wanting nothing more than to keep a safe distance from him.However, every time she stepped back, he took another step forward. They continued doing this till he had her backed up in a corner."What– what are you doing?" she stuttered out, clutching her bath towel.Daniel's strong arms blocked her from going left and right, locking her beneath him. He leaned in so close that she could almost hear his heart beating in his chest. "Did you do that on purpose?" he whispered, his breath fanning across her nose. His voice was hoarse and raspy as if he had just gone days without a cup of water. She inhaled sharply."No

    It was late at night, and the weather shifted around them. Dark clouds were gathering in the skies, and soon enough, thunder blasted across the city.In her room, small night lights emitted a dim light. However, Sonia couldn't help but shift and turn under the covers of her bed.Ever since she was a kid, she had suffered from claustrophobia. She made sure to have night lights plugged around her room to help ease her anxiety.Even then, she still couldn't fall asleep as her mind drifted towards James.Although he was going to get married, she still liked him. This love had lasted for more than five years, and she still couldn't find it in herself to get over him.If the girl he intended to marry wasn't the one she hated, then maybe she would have already moved on and have given all her heartfelt wishes. Seeing as he had chosen Fabian, it pissed her off to no end.She groaned, wanting nothing more but to claw her face.A fierce wind came, rustling the leaves in the backyard. Lightning f

    Thunder crackled in a distance, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to save her. The thought of the thunder bolts and lightening sparks making contact with the iron made frame of her window sent shivers down his spine. He could die by electric shock if he isn't extremely careful!Once he arrived, he kicked the glass window and swung himself into the room. Under the light of his cellphone, he could see her lying on the ground. Her whole body was convulsing and her lips were colorless. She looked as if she had just joined the cast of zombies.He lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He began to perform artificial respiration.Sonia was finally conscious. Seeing the dim light across the room, her fear had been relieved. As he continued to blow air into her system, the muscle in her throat slowly unwound, allowing her to breathe more easily."Did you have a heart attack? Where's your medicine?" Daniel asked anxiously, glancing around."No. I suffered from claustrophobia, that's all,"

    In the darkest hour of the night, Sonia found herself walking all alone in the middle of a thick forest with darkness surrounding the entire place. Suddenly, she caught sight of two blood-thirsty wolves approaching her from behind as she took to her heels, running for dear life.Waking up, she recognized the colors of the curtains and the bed. Yes! It was her room, not a forest. She put her hand on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a dream.She closed her eyes and was just about to lie down again when a big hand reached out from behind and touched her back. The unexpected touch made her tremble. As she turned her head around, she was shocked to see that there was a stranger sleeping next to her."Oh my God!" a scream of panic broke out from her lips, vibrating the room.'What is going on? How did this guy get into my apartment?'The man lying next to her was awake by her screaming. He was shocked and disoriented. Then, suddenly, his expression froze.Sonia jumped

    (The previous day...)It was April 1st.This was the best time for someone to declare their love because if they got rejected, they could just laugh and say, "haha, April fool!"The same thought crossed Sonia's mind. Finally, she had summoned all of her courage and walked up to her idol, James Austin, on whom she had been crushing for many years."Hey, I have been crushing on you ever since we first met. I've got a good feeling that you and I are destined to be together. Although I am still not up there yet, one day I am going to become an icon in the fashion industry and become someone who is good enough to be with you. Would you please put me on your list of possible girlfriends?" She begged.Before she finished speaking, she heard a mocking laughter coming from behind her. "How interesting! 'Destined to be together'! Is that what you tell yourself when you cry yourself to sleep at night? Are you really that pathetic?" The woman ridiculing her was her sworn enemy, Fabian Claire, who

    Sonia could never had imagined that she would win twelve times in a row."You must be cheating!" Daniel accused in a drunken state."What? You're the one throwing the dice. How can I be the one cheating? Just admit it, you didn't think I was going to win. Well, that's how gambling works!" Sonia giggled. She had never had any luck in gambling all her life, as such, she didn't expect her luck to be so good today.However, Daniel wasn't convinced. "Fine! Again!" He was determined to make a comeback.Sonia's thick eyelashes flickered open. "Okay! This is the last one. The big one! I have already lost everything today! So why the hell not. Marriage isn't a big deal! I can get married whenever I want. How about this? If I win again, you will have to marry me!""Deal!"The only thought in Daniel's mind was to win this game. Besides, he wasn't used to losing to anybody."Great! I like you!" Finishing her words, she pushed the cup closer to him. "It's your turn. I'm guessing it's a small numbe

    His voice was low and it obviously hinted flirtation. For a second, she stood stunned. But slowly, his words began to sink in. She clearly understood what he was implying. And as a consequence, her face blushed crimson red. "Don't mention it. I have forgotten it," she said, trying to maintain her composure.Daniel's black eyes blinked, unable to believe she had forgotten it.He remembered everything, clear as day! Every second, the scene played in his mind.He woke up feeling hazy today. At first, his head felt unusually unclear, and he was unable to remember a thing! But soon, it began to fill up. Missing pieces of yesterday, came to his mind, one by one. He was a neat freak. No woman could touch him even if he was drunk. But when she was around, the defensive system seemed to be invaded by virus, breaking down instantly. To start with, she wasn't like any other woman he had come across. She was both beautiful and pure. Even her smell was intoxicating. At present, he couldn't control

    "Thank you Daniel.""For what?""For helping me. Can we put off further measures till after the engagement party tomorrow is finished?""It depends on you." He shrugged. It didn't really matter if it was delayed for a day."Thank you." Sonia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had to do everything to save her dignity tomorrow.With that, she invited him to have lunch with her.When they walked into the restaurant next to the community, She ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, then she went Dutch and paid for her own bill."Let me pay." Daniel motioned to take out his wallet, but Sonia, who didn't seem to hear him, just handed the money to him.After taking her seat, she smiled and said, "We met by chance, and after this awkward marriage, we won't meet each other ever again. We should just pay for ourselves."Daniel nodded in approval to her words.Not long after that, the waiter served them their order."Help yourself. The food here is cheap and delicious. And more importantly,

    Sonia knew that the issue between herself and Fabian was about to skyrocket. Based on this, she asked Daniel to wait before approaching her."I heard everything you said that day." Fabian sneered. "I am the one James loves. You don't even know half of what he does to me. In fact, he proposed to me within a few days since we've been together. In fact, he even said how I had so many admires that he was afraid that someone else would take me away."Sonia snorted. Unlike Fabian, she had more important things to get to, and she didn't want to waste her entire day by arguing with her. "You're thinking too much. Yesterday was April Fool's. I was only kidding.""Stop pretending!" she snarled. "I know you love him. Yesterday, he was so afraid that I'll mistrust him that he even said that he'll never fall in love with someone like you. You're like a mouse who has just crawled out of the trash bin. He's disgusted to be linked to someone like you. In fact, he even asked me to tell you to stop day
