Chapter 8: The Gift Before The Wedding
Last Updated:
2023-03-12 18:45:59I stared at the beautiful flowers that the wedding planner arranged into the stairs of the luxurious Xiu Grand Hotel. It's the dream come true, and it's finally happening.
"Hey, are you alright?" Rodney asked while walking towards me.
"Yeah, I'm good. I was just amazed at the flower arrangements. They look really wonderful and classy," I said.
"Just tell me if you need anything, okay?" He said.
"Yeah, sure," I said while he turned around again to talk to the wedding planner.
"I want to make sure that everything is perfect, alright?" Rodney said, I was just behind him so I will hear him clearly.
"Yes sir," said the wedding planner.
Everyone is busy, except me. I looked at the lobby and saw a man stopped by the grand door with a cart of dirty ice cream. He was waving his bell so that he could attract others to buy and when the other staff heard it, they eventually went outside to buy so I poked Rodney.
"Rodney, I want one," I said but he didn't respond.
"Rodney, I want ice cream," I said as I poked him again.
"Sorry, you want what?" He finally asked and I immediately pointed my finger at the lobby where the other staff were buying some ice cream.
"Oh, that? Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes, please?" I said as I convinced him.
"Come on, the vendor just stopped by, he will get going again soon," I pulled him into the lobby. The staff widened their eyes as they saw us walking towards the ice cream man.
"Two ice creams on bread, please," I said to the ice cream vendor.
"What flavor, ma'am?" He asked.
"Can you mix it? I want it all," I said as the staff were looking at us strangely.
"What are you waiting for? guys come on, just dig in and get one. Your boss here will pay for it," I said as I pointed to Rodney.
"What? No. Sushmita," He annoyingly said to me but I just smiled at him and wink at him.
"Damn it, alright. Fine, fine," He said as he handed me over a one thousand peso bill.
The staff clapped their hands while saying, "Thank you, sir Rodney!"
I turned around to Rodney and said, "Thank you, we will talk later,"
"Can I go back there? I have something to do," He excused himself.
"Yeah, sure, love you!" I said as he turned around to walk but he stopped and came back to me again.
"Did I just hear you say you love me?" He asked and I froze. Damn it, did I just say that I love him?
"W-what? No. I didn't say anything, I just said, yeah sure," I said as I took a bite on my ice cream bread.
"Oh, I'm really hearing things, damn it," He said and walked away again.
It's almost close but I just smiled at the staff and we enjoyed eating ice cream outside.
"Thank you, Ms. Garcellano," The employees said and I just smiled at them.
"Just keep up the good work," I said to them as I waved them 'goodbye'
"Rodney," I said as I walked towards him.
"What?" He asked in a tired voice.
"Can we just call this a day? I'm tired," I said.
"Okay, here's the key to the Suite, just wait for me there. You can also sleep if you feel sleepy," He said as he handed me the key to his private suite in the Hotel. It was 6:00 p.m and I'm really exhausted because of the wedding arrangements.
I headed to the elevator to go to the Suite and when I got there, I took off my shoes immediately and went straight to bed and I let my thoughts flow as sleep was taking me away to go from a different world.
I woke up when I felt a heavy thing on my belly, someone was hugging me so I turned around and saw Rodney with no mask, just his tired face. He's asleep. I tried to touch the thick scar on his face but I stopped myself because I might wake him up.
He reminds me of someone named Rod. My first love. I wonder where he is now. I don't have any news.
"What are you doing?" He said and I was shocked by his question. I thought he was sleeping, he then opened his eyes to see the expression on my face.
"Uhm, nothing," I said.
"What did you do earlier?" He asked.
"About what?" I also asked him.
"Treating the employees for an ice cream," He said.
"Well, I just showed them that their boss has a heart," I said and he shook his head.
"You're incredibly unbelievable," He said and smiled at me and I just smiled back.
"I have something for you," He said as he turned around and jumped out on the bed.
He handed me a long dark blue satin box.
"Open it," He instructed.
"Rodney, you don't have to," I said.
"Sushmita, I want you to wear that on our wedding day," He said as I opened the rectangular shaped dark blue satin box.
It's a white-gold necklace with a heart pendant. It was so beautiful and looks expensive and it's personalized because I saw my name engraved on the side of the heart pendant.
"Do you like it?" He asked and I came back to my senses again.
"I'm speechless, this is really perfect, thank you, Rodney," I sincerely said as I reached out to his hand to gently press it.
"Allow me," He said as he grabbed the necklace and carefully placed it on my neck.
I can see our reflection on the big mirror in front of the bed where we were sitting.
"You have a very lovely neck," He said as he looked at my face in the mirror and quickly pressed his lips on my neck which brought chills on my body.
"Are you sure it's just my neck that you wanted to kiss?" I asked and he chuckled.
"What kind of question is that? Are you trying to seduce me, Ms. Sushmita Garcellano?" He said as he grabbed my hair slowly and smelled it.
"Smells like wild berries,uhm.." He said as he continued doing that.
"If I say that I want you right now? Would you give in to me?" I asked him.
"Sushmita darling, you still don't know me. I still don't trust you. Come on, we started dating a week ago and you want me to believe you? I won't be easily swayed by honeyed words. Try harder next time," He said. He then let me go and started to put on his shoes and tuxedo.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I'll take you home," He said and I just prepared myself too.
I stared at the city lights on the window of Rodney's car, waiting for sleep to come.
I don't understand Rodney anymore. Sometimes he's all good, nice and thoughtful but somehow, it looks like I'm starting to see his devil side. How bad could that be?

June 26, 2022 1:00 pmXiu Grand HotelI stared at the big vanity mirror in front of me with Deborrah on my side because she's my maid-of-honor. "Mom will be so proud of you, Sushmita," Debbie said as she combed my hair in style. "I hope so," I said while holding my tears back but I really can't help it. "Hey, don't cry, your makeup will be ruined," She said while helping me wipe my tears gently to avoid my eyeshadows and mascara from destruction. "I'm gonna miss you all," I said to her."We will miss you too. We will keep in touch okay? I'm just a chat away," Debbie said. Her words never fail to comfort me. "Just don't forget what I said, no matter how hard it is, always look at the good side. Alright?" She said with a smile on her lips. "Alright," I agreed while wearing my shoes. "You're all set, you're gonna be an amazing wife, Sushmita," Debbie said as she reached out to help me stand up because the bridal car was already waiting for us. We we're on the bridal car when Rod

Coron, Palawan5:00 pm We checked-in to Bacau Bay Resort in Coron and got a VIP room for our honeymoon. The place is very wonderful and scenic. It's really a perfect place for a honeymoon trip but I don't know if Rodney will enjoy this. My husband here doesn't have happiness in his vocabulary but I'm very much willing to change that. I'm in the shower now cleansing my body and relaxing myself when Rodney came and hugged me from the back. He kissed my neck and smelled my hair and it tickled me but I kept myself calm even if my heart was racing. He started to rub the soap on my body slowly and gently. I turned around to face him and saw his broad chest and big manhood. His chest is full of scars, tattoos and burns. "What's this?" I asked. "This is the part that you have to be scared of," He said."Now, I'm afraid," I said. "Good," He said as he immediately raised his left arm to caress my face and kissed me torridly. "Uhm.." I moaned because I can't help myself, he makes me crav

I was woken up by the smell of hard liquor passing around our VIP room.I fell asleep while crying but I guess I'm gonna cry again now that I'm awake but someone was pulling the comforter. I know that it was Rodney but I don't have the energy to argue with him anymore so I decided to ignore him and just go back to sleep but he pulled me closer to him and kissed me hard, like an animal who's thirsty for his prey. I could taste the hard liquor on his mouth as he continued what he was doing to me. "Rodney please, I want to sleep," I begged him but he undressed me again instead. "The 'anything' that you said will start now, so don't try to refuse," He said. He was really aggressive as he was doing me, he was like a wild beast marking me inch by inch and all I could do was to cry. He blindfolded my eyes and tied my hands on the headboard of the bed while he was rubbing and entering my wetfold with his fingers.I can feel the aching, stinging pain down there as he put his manhood again

Tuesday 10:30 a.m. Our private plane landed at NAIA Terminal 1 and as soon as we landed, we immediately went down because I'm really tired. We put our luggage in the trolley and walked through the exit and we saw a welcoming banner for us. "Welcome back, Mr. & Mrs. Xiu. I'm Daniel Rosales, I will be your personal driver and bodyguard, Ms. Sushmita," he said as he raised his hand to perform a hand shake but Rodney didn't allow me to do it, he performed the hand shake for me. "Me? Why do I have a bodyguard?" I asked Rodney because I don't like that. I just whispered it into his ear because Daniel was in front of us while we continued walking through the lobby of the airport. "So that you won't escape from me and it's for your own safety," he said. "But I can drive myself," I said. "Yes dear, but I don't want you to get involved in accidents when going around with your friends or whenever you wish to go, so I hired one for you," he said. "Why? I can't go alone?" I asked him becau

"Rodney it's so dark in here," I complained as he toured me around the house. "Well, this is my life Sushmita, deal with it," Rodney said sarcastically without even throwing a glance at me. "You can call me Mita or Erin if you find it difficult to pronounce Sushmita," I said and he froze and glanced at me. His face described as if I said something wrong."Erin?" he asked. "It's my second name, I'm Sushmita Erin," I said to him but he looked really uncomfortable, he turned pale. "Are you– alright? You're looking kind of pale, come on, we should get some rest," I said as I grabbed his left shoulder."I'm alright, you go first, I have something to do," he said. "B-but Rodney, you've been looking kind of pale," I said and tried to touch his cheeks but he removed my hand. "I said, I'm fucking fine, Sushmita!" his voice highered as he burst in anger again, he looked so upset. "Did I say something wrong?" I asked because he got upset. "Nothing, just go to our room, I have something v

I was blinded by the sun coming from the window of our bedroom. I didn't remember that it's open and the curtains were gone. It's very beautiful and full of life. I could see wildflowers outside as I stood up on the bed. Rodney is still sleeping so I will prepare him a nice breakfast, it was 8:00 a.m and it's saturday. It's his free time today. I went downstairs and saw Daniel again passing around with a beer in his hands again. "Hey, Daniel!" I called him while I was going down the stairs. "Yes, Mrs. Xiu, what can I do for you?" He asked. I came closer to him and grabbed the beer in his right hand."Hey, that's mine!" He said as he refused. "No-uh! It's too early, cut it off for God's sake! Did you already eat?" I asked him."That's my breakfast, my lady," He said."No. I'll prepare something to eat, so don't grab this okay?" I said. "Fine, thanks. Do you need help?" He asked."No. I can manage," I said as I went directly to the kitchen but I got distracted cause he was followi

I was leaning on my lap while covering my ears because of the series of the gunshots on Rodney's car but it didn't bother him, I guess he's used to it.He was driving fast now to lose the van who we're following us. He immediately turned right and hid on the other street. He stopped the car on the side to check me. "Damn, that was close, hey, are you alright?" He said with sincerity in his eyes as he touched my cheeks. I didn't realize that I was crying when he suddenly hugged me. "It's alright, love. They're gone," he said, trying to comfort me and I guess that's working but I'm really scared."Let's just go h-home, please. We can visit them some other time," I said because I really wanna go home. I was trembling in fear and my hands were shaking. "Alright, we will go home now," he said while starting the engine to drive again. When we got back home, I just locked myself in our room and Rodney started to get worried. "Hey, come here," Rodney said as he was ordering me to go to

I woke up with a terrible pain in my body. I still can feel Rodney's hands touching me, feeling me and that always brings unexpected desires through my body. Maybe I should get used to it since I am now Mrs. Sushmita Xiu. It's 9:30 a.m and I feel so alone. Daniel and Rodney left early to fly to Chicago because he has some business meetings to attend to. He will be away for a week and I think that would be just fine but I can't help thinking about his safety so I reminded him to always call me whenever he can. Everyone was busy, except me– I'm just here with no plans ahead. It's been a month and I don't know what to do with my life. I have everything now and I can do what I want or buy everything I want but, I don't really know what I want. Rodney even gave me his black card, just in case I needed something but I haven't spent it on anything yet.I started to scan the house to find something to do. There's so many maids here so I did not bother with the house chores, however, this h

So you're a wild woman now?!” she said and followed me. Damn. My sister can't really hide anything from her. “What’s the matter, Debbie? I’m old enough and I’m single, so?” I said and checked my baby when I reached our room. Baby Romita is still peacefully sleeping, so I smiled. “Oh god! I can’t believe you’re saying these things to me right now!” “If you’re jealous then get laid too,” I said and laughed at her. “Tell me about this guy! Tell me! Tell me!”“Sorry, but I didn't get his name but he’s hot,” I said and lied to her because I don’t want my sister to know that I’m seeing my dead husband on that guy. “Oh, what a waste!

SUSHMITA'S POV: I woke up having a headache but I was astonished to wake up in an unfamiliar room. “Where am I?” I asked myself but I was shocked when I saw a man wearing only his boxers. His brown eyes met my gaze and I can't help it, my heart is racing. I think I saw those eyes before. The way he stares at me, it's full of love and sincerity.“Oh, finally you're awake,” he said and smiled as he swung into the bed and sat in front of me. I can’t understand what I’m feeling. The man in front of me is so gorgeous and my heart is beating so fast but not because he is handsome and perfect but his brown eyes. Just like Rodney’s. “Who are you? Where am I?” I asked but I felt a sudden sharp pain on my head. “You got so drunk last night when we met and… yeah this happened, I’m Rodney by the way, Rodney Chen of the Chen Group of Companies,” he said and raised his hand to perform a handshake. Damn it, his name is Rodney too. “Uhm, Sushmita Xiu,” I said and took his hand. I can feel the

We were at the Fusion Paradise Bar having some tequila shots. They said that the owner of this Bar is a successful young lady at my age. The music was too loud so no one heard her but me. “What’s the problem with that?! I just wanna ease the pain, my husband is dead. I can't bring him back so I'm just gonna dance the night away,” I replied as the thoughts of Rodney flowed through my mind. Our life together. Our hopes and dreams. Our ups and downs and our happiness. Our little Romita. I guess I’m so drunk tonight but I don't care. I just don't want to feel sad. My head is spinning and my vision starts to blur but I don't want to leave Debbie so I will just dance with her until we get tired. “Party, party!” Deborah shouted so I just smiled at her. ***D

I really appreciate it, oh and yeah, take care of the watch please,” I said while holding my brush to comb my hair. “Yes, don’t worry, I will start to investigate when I’m done with some other errands,” he assured me. “Okay, goodnight Daniel, I mean Don Ezekiel Xiu,” I said and raised my eyebrows and he smiled. “Do you really have to do that?” he said and giggled. “What? You're now the mafia Don taking care of Rodney's business but I still like to call you Daniel,” “Just keep it that way Miss, goodnight and goodbye for now. If you need me, I’m just a call away,” he said and waved goodbye to me. As soon as he left, I grabbed the flash drive on my purse and inserted it on my laptop.

That familiar pain is still lingering on me. Daniel is just puzzled beside me, I don't know why. He is emotionless, he's not even crying. "Daniel, are you alright?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, Miss," he replied. "My baby is due in a month, and I haven't bought some hospital stuff yet, can you help me this afternoon?" I asked him. "Oh, which reminds me, actually Miss, Boss prepared everything the night he died. He was so excited when he knew that he was going to be a father so he contacted a personal shopper and had them buy some stuff and hospital needs for you and your baby," Daniel explained."Oh my god, really?" I said, trying to control my emotions. It's both happiness and sadness. "And I will show it to you now, shall we?" he asked. I looked at Rodney's grave and felt the cold hard ground.

SUSHMITA’S POV: I can’t sleep and keep on looking at the luxurious watch that Rodney gave to me so I opened my laptop and searched for it on the internet but I couldn't find anything. It is so authentic and unique that only a few have it so I called Daniel but he’s not answering his phone. I checked the watch for some clues but I couldn't find anything. I’m kinda frustrated searching for some answers. I wanna know what’s inside of this treasure I’m holding. I kept on dialing Daniel’s number and he answered it finally after dialing it twice. “Hello, what is it, Ms. Mita?” “Can you come over? I need to talk to you,” “I’m sorry but I can’t right now, maybe some other time,” “Daniel, this is urgent,” “What urgent? Are you gonna give birth now?” “No. not yet, but I need to discuss about something,” “Okay, look. I will accompany you as soon as I can but I’m sorry I can’t right now, bye,” I was about to talk but it turned into a deep sigh when the line broke. RODNEY’S POV: “Boss

SUSHMITA'S POV: I never thought that this would come in my life. Rodney is gone forever and I left wounded. The wound is so deep that it can crush my heart and soul. I held my belly to feel my baby kicking inside me. She was growing well. I didn't have the chance to tell his dad that she's a girl. I walked slowly inside of our bedroom. I can still smell his Salvador Dali perfume all over. I opened the automatic washing machine and saw all of his dirty clothes. He didn't have the time to do the laundry so he stuck all of it there. I ordered Loreta not to wash Rodney's belongings as soon as I got here because I want to be the best wife that he ever had and do all his laundry while he was away but I can't do it now. I smelled his white polo and t-shirt. It was him, I carried all of his dirty clothes and put it on our bed. As soon as I laid down, I smelled it again and closed my eyes, wishing that he would be here beside me. I can clearly see his face now, smiling at me. His big bro
Screaming Desires Series 1: Secretly Marked By The Mafia Bos Chapter 78: The Way Out
SUSHMITA'S POV: Rodney was covering me the whole time when we were in the car because of the series of gunshots that kept on destroying our vehicle. "Cover your ears Honey, it's alright, I'm here," I did what Rodney said. We were almost at the Airport, and as soon as we got there Daniel already grabbed my luggage."Come on, Miss," Daniel said and gave me his hand so that I could grab it. "B-but Rodney," I said while looking at Rodney. "Go Honey, I'll be fine, I just need to finish this, all of this, remember what I tell you. I'm sorry, I love you so much. Take care of our baby," he said and kissed me quickly and then he helped me get out of the car. "I love you too, Rodney," I said."I know, now, go! before it's too late, there's no time," he said and Daniel pulled me closer to him and had me enter the Airport. We're suddenly on the plane now going back to the Philippines. I travelled with a heavy heart again, I just watched the skies and the clouds dancing in the atmosphere.
