Cairo’s
I smirk when I received an email from Sullivan.
Mr. Cairo Buenavista,
I have informed your grandmother about the schedule of the announcement of the will and testament.
Your lawyer,
Atty. Jonathan Sullivan
I closed my laptop after reading his email. I smirked while thinking about the announcement two days from now. I can’t wait to see each and everyone’s reaction when they hear that the great Arturo gave his riches to his most favored grandson.
I fixed my tie and lean towards my office chair- relaxing my tensed muscles. It has been a week since I saw my grandfather’s funeral and I have no plans on going back on our mansion until I have found a woman who is worthy to become my bride.
I paced through my office with my eyes stick

Chapter 13Emilia’sIt’s two am in the morning and I have seen some of my cousins almost passing out. I have no choice but to be to join them. I can feel myself sober up after walking out of Cairo’s place.“I can’t believe him!” I exclaimed. My cousins look at me with confusion. The music stopped and saw their intense stares at me. Asking an answer why I just reacted like that.“What are you talking about, Emilia?” they asked.I just shook my head and drink the can of beer that was handed to me by my cousin, Andromeda. I saw her flirting with some random dude she just met. Marco who was talking with my one of my cousins move towards my direction.“What was that?” he asked while wiggling my brows. I ignored his goofy face and just sip from my can of beer.He giggled and smelled my

Chapter 14Emilia’sI woke up feeling happy for an unknown reason. I don’t know how and what happened, but I just found myself smiling on as I opened my eyes.Perhaps I had a good dream.How many shots did I take last night?Maybe I picked up a case of beer on the way here.Those were my thoughts when I glimpse at the carpeted floor where my clothes were scattered along with some beer cans.“What time is it?” I asked myself. I yawned and move my head opposite to the side where the windows wont hint my face directly.I placed my head into the soft warm pillow and smell the strawberry scent.“Heaven,” I murmured while sniffing my pillow. I should by more strawberry scented pillows or maybe strawberry scents for my diffuser.I snuggled more int

Chapter 15 “I missed you,” he breathe on my ear. After being stoned for about a second. I pushed his body away from me, making him stumble backwards hitting the wall. “What the fuck?” I asked in disbelief. What is he doing here anyway? And how did he knew that I was going to change my look? “Don’t you miss me back my sweet?” he teased and went beside me again. Why is he acting like this? I am so confused by Cairo’s action right now. He is even wearing a polo that totally matched my dress. What is his problem? Why does he smell so good? And how come he’s still here? “My problem is you wont admit that you desire me,” he answered out of the blue. I turned my gaze towards him. He just smirk and gave me a wink. Did I just say my thoughts out loud? “You are now.”

Chapter 16“Oh my God!”“What happened to her?”I can hear my mom screaming through the hallway. I groaned and keep still on Cairo’s arms. I don’t want to be close to him again but I have no choice but to use his body ‘cause I am temporarily blind.“Auntie Lia was sand attacked by my Farren.” I heard Caleb said. He probably followed us to whatever this place is.“It was an accident Granny,” Farren explained.I just sighed and heard Eunice scolding the kids on the background. I can hear Farren crying and Caleb yelp. My mom on the other hand talk to Cairo about what really happened.“It was just a sand castle fight, Mrs. De Lapaz,” he said. I felt his palm rub my thighs slowly as if comforting me. Well, I am not comfortable by his touch. This is just too much.

Chapter 17My thoughts kept bugging me after that conversation with Andreana. I paced back in forth in my room while asking the same question she has before we parted ways.“Do you know where she is?” Andreana asked. I sighed and then look at the ground.I felt her palms on my shoulders. I look at her concern eyes as she kept a straight face. She let out a deep breath and then look at me. Her blue lenses glared at the wall as if she just saw an enemy. I spin and followed her gaze then saw a man wearing a gray tuxedo rushing towards out direction.“Who the fuck is he?” I asked her. I heard her cuss under her breath. Being about seven inch shorter than her is pain in the ass. I sometimes wish she can just chop her legs just so I can see every expression she has.“I gotta go,” s

Chapter 18 It’s been two days since we had a that fight. He left my hotel room and never came back ever since. It was quite a good move though, since I don’t want to see his face. I never wanted to be with him anyway, ever again. “Can’t you be less annoying?” I heard Andreana said over the phone. My eyes went to her direction and saw her calling someone over the phone. “Who’s that?” I asked. She lift her palm and mouthed, “Just a minute.” I nod and stare at the view in front of me. I took a deep breath and feel the cold fresh air. Who knows that I will be climbing this hill again? “And I’m back,” Andy declared and stood beside me. “How relaxing.” I nod my head in agreement. The sun is not showing it’s prideful rays today and only the gray clouds covered the whole area in such protective manner. “

There was a glint of happiness in his dangerous eyes. I hissed and rolled my eyes.He’s enjoying this moment too much. “What are you doing here, Cairo?” I asked in annoyance. I pushed his body away from me. I stormed towards my room and I heard his footsteps following me.“I am here to ask a permission to you,” he said.“I thought you said that you don’t need my consent on things?”“Well, I badly need one now.”I scoffed upon hearing his response. I went inside the room and leave the door open. I didn’t both

After all my he’s just a visitor in our mansion.“Hija.”All eyes went to my mother when she called me. I didn’t realize she’s on the mini stage holding a microphone in hand.

I even heard Cairo chuckled beside me.My mom smiled at me and nods. Then she look over the crowd and opened her mouth for her big announcement.“Today is a very special day.”I nod, agreei

Chapter 24Emilia’s It’s been days since the hot man who visited the Buenavista’s mansion wandered my mind. I don’t know him but he seems very familiar. I don’t know if I have seen him before, but I really hope not. It’s also been days since Cairo is been feeling unwell and uneasy. I don’t know if it’s the search for Lucille that bothered him or something else. We still continued to pretend that everything is okay in front of our families and I don’t know if I can keep up with all the dramas that has been happening. “Do you think she’s still alive Emilia?” my best friend, Andreana asked as she sipped her hot tea.

The idiot did his best to hide his smirk while looking at the ground intently, burning his gaze to the old grasses. “He wants you to do it for him,” he replied. I spit to the ground, aiming it near his well-polished shoes. He let out a sigh and handed fished a hanky on his suit. “He can help you track his daughter.” “Do I look like I need his help?” “He believes that you need it.” I smirk played on my lips as I watch Emilia Lucille walking further away from me and from the dangers I have.

Chapter 22 “Tell me to shut up and I’ll scream your name,” I sang as I went outside the mansion. It has been days since I started calling this my home, and Cairo’s room as mine too. We’ve been playing this game for almost a week now and I don’t know if it his gestures are genuine or is it part of an act. Well, I don’t know if I can keep up with his game either. “What’s so good this morning, Señorita Sumeria?” The devil asked while smirking at me. He is wearing his casual wear today and I am glad that he matched his shirt with my white tank top. “Well, now you just ruined my mood,” I whined. He let out a chuckle and wiggle his brows.&nbs

Chapter 21After that hasty engagement scene, I couldn’t utter a word to Cairo nor say anything to explain myself to my family. Even on my social media, I saw stolen photos of me during that ‘awe-so-cute’ moment though my facial expression is fit for funerals.“You should have told me soon about this Hijo!” Missis Matilde Buenvista, his grandmother said. She just woke up from passing out after hearing the news from Cairo the great.I didn’t agree to this plan not even once. But then, I came to realize that this is our game and I can’t do anything about it. I have participated in this the moment I fought back to him. And it literally sucks to know that I can’t do anything but let him lead the way.I am more in reacting than doing things to win this game. And I am starting to hate it.“Grandma, I was hoping to tell
