Patricia's POV
"Could you please inform me? Your mom told me that you weren't at their home so I was worried,"
Callum's serious voice echoed in the living room.
I didn't answer. I remained with my head lowered and fiddling with my fingers. I never thought he would talk to me in such a serious way.
"It’s just strange that I didn’t see you here. You had my number so I hope that you just called or texted me? So that I got informed?"
I couldn't stop myself and answered him. "I'm safe, okay? I fell asleep at Jess' condo and didn't realize the time,"
He's too talkative today, huh. I just got home late! But when he comes home at night, I don't say anything.
"But a guy answered my call earlier. Are you letting someone else hold your phone?" there was an accusation in his tone.
"Tyrone answered the call bec
Patricia's POV"What's your plan?"Jess's question piqued my curiosity. We are here in the school field and getting some air because we just finished an activity we did in the laboratory earlier.It was awesome though."Plan about what, Jess?""Duh! I'm just like this silent type but I've been counting the days since you and Callum got married!" she said and showed her phone screen to me."Calendar? Yeah, it's July 14 today…" I said simply.He rolled his eyes and looked disgusted before pointing to today's date itself. I'm right, huh?"You dumb! You're really numb! It's July 14th and you got married on April 14th!" she almost rolled her eyes at me. "It means you've been married for 3 months now!"I just frowned and looked at her in wonder. "Oh, yeah...it's been three months,"I
Patricia's POVI keep looking around to make sure no one else is looking and watching my movements. I sat quietly while Raven ordered our food.He brought me here to my favorite Japanese restaurant. At first I wondered why he knew that I like to eat here."Are you sure that’s all you want to eat?" Raven asked softly."Yes…" I smiled shortly before looking around again.I don’t know what I should say or react to what he's doing. I was not comfortable with his stare so I just continued to look around and gently clasped my hand over the table."So it's true..."I turned to him and caught him staring at my hand.Gradually, my eyes widened to realize what he was staring at my hand. He's specifically looking at my wedding ring!"Uh-what are you s-saying?" I'm pretending to be clueless. 
Patricia's POV"I need us to talk,"I caught my breath and stared boldly at Callum. Is what I am doing is right?"About what?" he asked while drinking water.I looked for an opportunity to talk to him and when I saw him going here in the kitchen, I immediately followed him."About...us," I said and my mind was a bit occupied.When I actually talk to him, I lose my words. It feels like his presence always absorbs my courage."You mean about our marriage?" he turned to me. "What about that?"He didn't seem interested based on his reaction so I was irritated."We need to have an agreement," I said calmly. "I realized we haven't talked about it so I think it's about time,"He pursed his lips before raising a brow. "Yeah, I forgot about that too. I'm too busy with the company..."Good thing he knows! If I don't tell him rig
Patricia's POVI want to continue my sleep but the sound of the alarm clock on the side table envelops my ears. I slowly opened my eyes before turning off the alarm."Gosh! It's morning again!" I murmured before getting up.I fixed myself before going out but I was just going down the stairs when I saw a woman standing there. She's turning her back on me, she’s holding a mop and sweeping the floor.I quickly frowned.When she heard my footsteps, she turned to me and that's when I saw her face. Who's this? She's not familiar with me. I stared at her from head to toe, she's just wearing a simple shirt and long pants.I think she is in her mid-40."Good morning, mam," she greeted."Who are you?" I asked cautiously."I’m your maid. Sir Callum let us in here just this morning. We've working with them f
Patricia's POV"It's you…"My eyes were still widened. I can’t believe it. I know that my face shows surprise but I don't see it in her. She looks confident. Zara crossed her arms while still raising a brow. I feel like she’s insulting me with the way she looks.I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. It can't be like this. I need to act normal and professional. Calm yourself, Patricia!"So, you're Patricia Clemente, huh?" she said sarcastically."Yes, w-who are you?" I asked.She smirked. "Stop acting like you don't know me!"She said that in such a bitchy voice that I was instantly irritated. I clenched my hand and walked normally towards her. She raised her eyebrows again when I placed my bag on the sofa."What do you need?" I asked patiently."I'm waiting for Callum to come h
Patricia's POV"I'm getting married? There's no way, mommy!"I threw the folders inside my mom's office because of so much anger. I just got home from school and she called me to come straight to her office to tell me the incredible thing that they were going to marry me!"Honey, we will benefit from it-""Our Company will benefit! That's what you should say!" I couldn't help but scream because of his reason. "I'm too young to get married and I'm still studying! How about my dreams?""Patricia, calm down" she uttered and fix those folders that I throw earlier. "We can keep it a secret for now since you are still in school. For your friends not to find it out. Your dream will not be hampered by marriage,”"Really? You're making it sound like getting married is a simple process, mom?" I massaged my temples while sitting in the swivel chair. More head hurts more. "I c-can't understand...we still have our company-""Our company is failing, Patricia" her voice was sad."We can borrow money
Patricia's POVDays and weeks pass by so fast. It's Monday again and I'm back at school."Patriciaaa!"Kelvin’s shout, my other friend, echoed in the hallway. It's embarrassing. I almost rolled my eyes at him while laughing as he approached me. He greeted me with a hug."I've been waiting for you!" he said flirtatiously."Why, did you think our building was just close to the parking?"We went straight to lover’s lane since it still early, we'll hang out here first."Spill it!" he grinned at me stupidly. "Jess told me about the wedding-"I covered his mouth because someone might hear. Jess's mouth really has no brakes!"It’s true? Silence means yes!" I gasped so he laughed again. What other choice do I have?Later on, Jess also came with Tyrone, another friend of ours. So I explained everything to them."The life of being rich, arrange marriage is just normal" Kelvin commented. "You really have no choice. But I'm not ready to see you get married yet!" he fake a cry."Well, the only thi
Patricia's POV"Where's my keys!"We are here in the school parking lot and ready to go home but I can't find my car key. I was busy finding it in my bag when I felt Jess pinch my arm. I turned around and saw her pointing someone using her snout.I followed that and saw a man approaching while wearing an engineering uniform."Raven again?" I can feel the tiredness in Jess's voice. "He's going to bugged you again,"Raven immediately smiled when he got closer."P-Patricia" he uttered smiling.I also smiled and immediately felt Jess holding my arm. Seemed to protecting me from Raven."What do you want from my friend, Raven?" Jess asked directly so I almost shocked."Ah, I just want to ask Patricia…" he turned to me with shy smile. "Are you free today-""Oh, she's not allowed! We have a lot of pending activities today in major subject," Jess interrupted again so I couldn't stop pinching her arm,” she’s really harsh with Raven."Uhm, sorry but I'm busy, R-Raven" I shyly looked at him. "I'm
