Patricia's POV
"Maybe Callum Velasquez was just forced. He's single, and now he's getting married? The girl was just using her!"I rolled my eyes again by another hate comment that Jess read. She frowned while busy on her phone."Stop it, Jess. They're not worth our time," I said before closing the book I was reading.We are here under the mahogany tree just near the field. It's still a few minutes before our next class starts so we went here for fresh air."You know what? If I was seeing the girl who commented this, I might have slap her face!" Jess shouted angrily. "What's so bad about marrying Callum? Because he’s handsome? Duh, our friend is also beautiful and smart! Not bad for Callum!"Wow, what a confidence Jess."You know what, you and Callum should go out together!" Jess' suggestion that I just struggled with. "It's for you to get to know each other better. YPatricia's POV "1, 2, 3! Smile!" I smiled sweetly at the camera while feeling the toga I was wearing. Today is our graduation pictorial and I feel so happy. I can already feel the juice of my sufferings. When I finished taking photos, it was Jess's turn. I retouched for a while and checked myself in the mirror. I am wearing a red off shoulder dress. Jess and Kelvin made me glam. All of my classmates are happy of course. We will be taking photos again for the creative shot so I sited in the corner of the classroom to wait. I read one of mommy's text messages. From: Mommy Callum will go to your school to pick you up. Good luck to your pictorial! My mood suddenly changed. I can go home alone! I doubt that Callum will come because of me. I haven't even talked to mommy about Callum and the girl he's with. It happened last week, but I haven't told her yet because they have doubled their busy schedule. I didn't reply because the picture taking started again. I'm sure Callum won't go
Patricia's POV Within weeks, a lot happened. I became even busier as well as my parents. My meeting with Callum was not followed up anymore because I knew he was also busy and was just forced to follow mommy's order. Until my graduation came. My hand was shaking as I received my diploma on stage. I didn't know what smile I would make in front of the camera because even my lips were trembling. I was so happy and my tears were welling up in my eyes but I tried not to cry because my makeup would be ruined. Finally! I watched how my parents proudly hung my medals on me when my name called as gaining a spot as Magna Cum Laude. The students applauded me loudly until I got off the stage. "Congrats!" "Congrats, Patricia! No doubt, you're really a beauty and brain!" I smiled when my classmates greeted me. The ceremony ended and we all took
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 tha
Callum'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
