I rolled my eyes upon seeing the article stating what happened last night, on my 21st birthday. Two men almost killed each other over a girl. I don’t even know them, they just simply attended my party because everyone is welcome. Someone called cops to stop the fight, the other man got hospitalized after being stabbed on his leg. Great, my name is on headlines again because of their stupid acts. I got calls from Mommy but I did not pick up any. I guess that just added fuel to her raging emotion towards me. Days after the incident, they finally went home and welcomed me with madness. As if it’s something new, they’re always mad. “Aldreda Katriel!” Mom was fuming mad while marching towards the door of my room. I just remained sitting on my bed and waited for her to open it. “The fuck did you just do, again? You let your visitors create a crime scene in our house for fuck’s sake!” “No one died,” I answered her boredly. “Jesus,” she mumbled u
It's almost 1 AM when I got home. I couldn't sleep. I was wide awake until 3 AM. When my mom knocked on my door around 7 PM to wake me up, I just grunted. She was telling me my fiancé is coming today. Well guess what? I don't give a damn! I'm still fucking sleepy."Ouch!" I pulled down my comforter to glare at mom who punched me with a pillow. "What? I want to sleep peacefully mom, give me a break!""You're always on break, Katriel. You have your fucking own schedule. I don't even know if you're taking your studies seriously. Gosh, what am I gonna do to you?""I attend my classes everyday mom. Stop judging me," I rolled my eyes."Whatever. Just get up. Kadmiel might arrive anytime now," she told me before com
"Did you enjoy the breakfast, Kad?" Mom asked the man.Kadmiel softly smiled at my mother. I snorted mentally. Plastic. Maybe he's just pretending everything about this setup is okay for him for only God knows what he really needs from my parents."I'm glad you did!" Mom clapped in enthusiasm. "Harisson and I will have a meeting with an important investor in a few. I'm afraid to leave you here with my daughter. Don't worry, she doesn't bite. You could use this time as a start to know more about each other."I scoffed. I don't bite? Yes, that's right. But I kick an asshole's balls."No problem, Tita Kamila." Kadmiel answered but his eyes were on me. I raised a brow as a reaction and I saw a little stretch on the side
I bit my nails as I tried to understand my professor. His subject is business tax, and I hate it. I hate everything about tax lessons. I just have to thank my parents for giving me their smart genes because thankfully, I easily understand the lessons. My ass wouldn't survive in this course if my laziness was paired up with stupidity.I heaved a sigh when finally, the class was over. I put the sling of my bag on my shoulder and prepared myself to leave. I glanced at Anna, a blockmate, who made her way towards me."Hi, Katriel!" she flashed me her annoying smile. I don't like it when she smiles. She has braces on her teeth, plus her gums always show. It just doesn't look right."Hi." I faked a smile."Is it true? That you and Kadmiel Candelon are a thing?" Her eyes flamed in jealousy. She was smiling but her eyes told otherwise. Plastic.I raised a brow. "You're asking me because?""I'm just curious! You've had your ex-flings before. And… you were just on headlines, you know. You're jus
Days swiftly moved on and the news about me and Kadmiel being in a relationship grew wider. People from that club saw us and even captured us secretly. I still receive harsh and bitter comments from some people and it doesn't affect me at all. I know they're just jealous of me! They fantasize about Kadmiel so much and they hate the fact that I got him."We will hold a conference next week. We'll announce your engagement with Kadmiel. I think it's time, since your issues died down and there are a lot of people who believe that you two are in a serious relationship."I just silently ate my burger while listening to Mommy. I honestly don't care about their plan anymore. I just hope for a smooth journey until we reach the end of everything."Will Kadmiel go here today?"I didn't answer Dad nor even looked at him because at first, I thought it wasn't me he was talking. I just found out when he called my name sternly."Katriel.""Huh?" I blinked my eyes. "I don't know? He didn't say anythin
The cold breeze enveloped my skin as I went outside of our house. It was just 4 in the morning, it's still dark. Yesterday was the start of our semester break. Noreene, my only trusted friend, asked me where I would spend it and I honestly told her I'd marry Kadmiel.She couldn't believe it at first, because it wasn't that long since we announced the engagement, but I told her it's not a church wedding yet and we would want it to happen privately. "You must love each other that much, huh? You're that itchy to get tied with each other," Noreene was smiling on the monitor.I heaved a sigh. I still contemplated whether I would tell her the truth or not, but then I can trust her fully. There were numerous secrets I told her that she really kept to herself."Actually… Kadmiel and I…" I paused. "We're not a real couple. This is all just for a show. To clear my name. And erase my past scandalous issues from people's minds."Noreene's eyes grew wider. "So you mean… It's fake. But you're gonn
"Don't you have a boyfriend yet?" I glanced at Noreene who's busy with her phone. Her eyes moved to meet mine. "You know, you never introduced any. Not even a fling.""I don't need a man in life." She rolled her eyes and fixed her eyes on the phone.I shrugged. We are the complete opposite. That's why I still can't believe that we clicked and found the best friendship in each other. It was half past 10 when Noreene fell asleep. On the other hand, my eyes are wide awake. I anxiously held the ring on my finger while trying to digest what just happened today. I got married. At the age of 21, I married the bachelor every girl dreams to have. Oh. Everything that Kadmiel owns is also mine now, right?I scoffed. It's only mine in terms of papers. I still have no rights with his property and money because I'm not really her wife. We're only married by papers. Nothing less, nothing more.Trying to find something to do while I can't find myself to sleep yet, I decided to browse on the internet
I tried so hard to walk normally while reaching my room. Kadmiel insisted on walking with me but I refused. I don't want Noreene to see us together and give her any ideas. At least, walking inside alone can help me more to circulate a reason without Kadmiel getting involved. I bit my lips while trying to compose myself. I was about to open the door when it already opened before I could even lay a hand on it. Noreene's eyes were half-closed, and her hair is still a bit messy. I assume she just got out of bed."Where have you been?!" Her eyes are a bit widened. She scanned my body and I thought she's gonna say something more but she just pulled me inside our suite."Calm down, Noreene. I just went somewhere," I told her while secretly wincing. My center aches so bad and Noreene's pulling me, making me walk that makes me feel the pain more.When we reached the sofa, I silently sighed. Finally, I can rest my thighs that are close to giving up. Thank God it's not shaking because I don't k
