Callum's POV
I couldn't quite imagine that in just one thing...my life would change instantly to what it was before. I can no longer do what I used to do before because I already have a heavy responsibility.Not the responsibility of being eldest child, big brother or taking care of the company but the responsibility of marrying someone I don't even know.And today is the day I hate the most. Today, I seems to be drowning and hurting by fate and making me feel like this is the thing I deserve.Today is my wedding day."Is she already here? She was already two minutes late!" I said impatiently to Austine, my friend who was standing next to me and wearing a gray suit like me.Patricia is still not here, I didn't even see her come here to the venue. Did she back out? Our last meeting was when we chose her wedding gown and after that, she seemed anxious and troubled. We didn't meet after thaCallum's POV "Sir, you have a meeting later at 11 am" I just gave a nod to Sharlene, my secretary, before finally entering the office. I just sit in front of my table when I received a text message from mommy. She says that I need to pick up Patricia at their house and bring her here at the company since she's my wife now. I need to make her understand how I deal with the business industries. I massaged my temple with so much stress. My secretary entered the office and was holding folders. "Do I have errands before 9 am?" I asked before I glanced at my watch. "No, sir. Just need sign them" she laid the folders in front of me. "It's also necessary before 8" It's only seven o'clock now so I can still pick up Patricia. My secretary left and I immediately signed the folders and papers. "It's already signed. I'll be back at before 9" I told my secretary on the call.
Patricia's POV "You need to live with him..." My tongue stocked because of mom's words. I looked at her while holding my tears. "Why do I have to, mom? I did what you wanted! I married him!" she was surprised by my reaction. Maybe I have the right to complain. I married Callum for our company. I don't love him so why the hell do I have to live in the same house with him?! "I noticed that Mrs. Velasquez is a bit strict. You are both married and it's common for the both of you to live in the same house-" "Mom, this is not what you promised.." my voice shuttered as my tears began to rolled down. Very painful. Are they giving me away? Are they satisfied because our company is back to normal again? "P-Patricia, I know…but, Callum's parents was asking about it" her voice trembled, she was about to approach me but I avoided her. I wiped away my tear
Patricia's POV "That's your final choice, huh? There's no going back," Jess helped me fix my clothes after saying that. "Is there any choice? Everything I want is ignored because they want what follows" I exclaimed before closing the suitcase because it was full of clothes. Jess took another suitcase. "It's good idea. It will bring you closer to each other," "Shut up, Jess!" I said irritated. It's been a week since Callum brought me to his so called 'our house'. It was troubled. Until now I still ignore him, I don't answer his calls. I know it's immature but I can't help but to get mad at him. He agreed to let us live in the same house. What if he didn't agree? I became even more enraged with him when I found out that he was the owner of the house where we going to lived. Stupid isn't it? "Don't you think that he might be mad with what you're doing? Well, not to
Patricia's POVI always tell myself that I'll just enjoy my life once I am become successful, when I get what I want and reach my dream but I don't expect that I'll experience first to take my responsibilities as a wife before finishing my studies."What are you doing? You're too early" I was startled by Callum's voice.I turned and saw his sleepy face."Obviously cooking" I replied before flipping the egg in the pan.It's another stressful morning. I didn't get much sleep here. I'm not comfortable with the new environment here especially that I'm with him.I thought of cooking even though it was very early because I couldn't sleep anymore."Oh, you know how to cook" he sounds amaze.I stopped. What did he think of me? Doesn’t know anything?"Of course, I love cooking" I said bitterly before serving what I cooked on the table.I know he still had work so I cooked for him.Callum went upstairs for a while so I got a plate ready.Since I love coffee, I made one for me and one for him so
Patricia's POV"What? Is the model Callum's ex fiancé? Zara Banner?!" Jess said exaggerated while we were at the coffee shop.I didn't go straight to Callum's house instead, I took Jess here. My head just gets hot when I remember how the guard at the company treated me. I was embarrassed. "Wow!" Jess gasped and looks surprised. "Why did you just say it now?! And why doesn't the guard know you?!" "I don't have id-" "You could’ve said that you were Callum's wife!" I shrugged. Maybe I was too assuming if I do that. "Are you still not used to it? You're married and living in the same house-" "We're just married in papers" I cut her off. "Even so! Later on your feelings will changed. Trust me" she even smiled proudly.That will never be happen... "So...how does it feel to see Callum's handsome face in the morning?" My eyebrows arched. "You know what? You're nonsense-oh, wait!" I took my phone out and saw that Callum was calling. I stared at it, not knowing whether to answer o
Patricia's POV Everything seems so fast. My everyday routine was just so plain and only filled with thrill when I was about to go to school and when Callum and I talked. I'm still not comfortable with him around me. It's so hard for me to deal with our situation every time we ate together and had dinner also with our families. I thought that was just my situation. I thought that was difficult, but it turns out that there is something more difficult. It was not easy for me to study in med school even though it was my dream. I was judged by the students. Some was thinking of me as a user and others seems doesn't care but I don't care about them either. It seems to be happening to me repeatedly. When I come home from school, I will avoid Callum. I avoid talking too much since we're both busy and we don't talk that much. Sometimes, he's insisting to take me to school or maybe pick me up but I don't agree because I don't want students to
Patricia's POV The next day, I just woke up that Callum was no longer at home, maybe he was already at work. "What a playful morning again" I whispered. My eyes focused on the side table where the invitation Callum had given last night was placed. It will happen tonight. I can’t help but be nervous. While I was eating breakfast, a delivery arrived. A woman handed me a large white box. "Maybe you're mistaken. I didn't order anything-" "This is yours, Mam Patricia. It was sent by Mrs. Velasquez for you to wear to the party," the girl smiled sweetly. I accepted the box and she left immediately. Damn, why are they treating me so special? I opened the box out of confusion and almost dropped my jaw when I saw what inside. I picked up a champagne dress that included a pair of nude stilettos with a tiny crystal design around it. Gosh, it's so pretty! Clothes and
Patricia's POV "Where have you been?" That was Callum's greeting when I returned to our table from the comfort room. He was in the usual blank expression unlike earlier who was smiling while talking to Zara. "Just in the comfort room," I answered. I just stared at the desserts in front of me and chose to just drink some water. I lost my appetite. I also saw mommy who was already at their table and eating. The noise around got louder because of the whispers and laughter of the guests. Callum is busy on his phone now and I'm just playing with the spoon in my hand while waiting for the party to end. "Are you okay?" I looked up to Callum. "Yeah..." "Do you want some-" "Nah, this will do" I said and showed him the desserts and drinks I hadn’t touched yet. I was silent and looking around but I could still feel Callum's gaze on me. That makes me more consciou
