Are you trying to shift the blame on me now?” I asked, looking shocked at his Words.

“Why should i?”

“What kind of a question is that, you ass, prickled, dude! Ain't you supposed to protect me from such a messy situation? And you claimed to love me! You worthless piece of trash!" I said, my chest swaying up and down in anger. Actually, I wasn't angry with him. I am just angry with something unknown, something I have securely locked up in my enclosed wall of self-defense or rather, self-control.

“Alex! I did that! But you insisted! You insisted, and practically bullied me into it!" He said loudly, while trying to demonstrate with his hands.

“I bullied you into it? Hahaha… can you listen to yourself?” I said, totally pissed off now.

“Yes, you did! You questioned my love for you, and succeeded in using it against me! You are my only weakness, Alex!” He said, equally yelling now.

“Are you yelling at me, now?" I said, coldly. Raking his hands through his hair, he breathes out loudly

    Sighing softly, I rub my tired neck. Sipping from the glass of juice, my phone started ringing. Seeing the ID of my lawyer, I sighs out again before picking it up. “Hello!” “President Chester, she beat us too!” He said and frowned, totally confused at his words. “Beat us to what?” “She has filed some charges against you and we have been invited by her lawyer probably for negotiations” “What are the charges!" "Defamation of character, Threat To Life, and Attempting Murder!” He said and I clench fist in anger. “Hmm… I can see she is smart! Alright, set up a meeting with her attorney for tomorrow afternoon, let's hear what she has to say” I said coldly before hanging up. “Sofia! Alright, let's see how far you can go about this!” I said, before standing up from the couch, leaving the glass of juice behind. My appetite for drinking has completely been ruined. It was exactly nine am when the arrival of her plane was announced at the airport. Completely dressed up in a casual

    “You are welcome!” He said, while taking my luggage away from me and we all started walking towards a parked car. “So, tell me Mr Andrus…” I wanted to say more. “Sorry to interrupt you, but can you quit with Mr? Just call me Andrus!” He said, and Murphy coughs slightly again. “Are you alright? You look tired!” I said, looking concerned. This CEO is a piece of trash! Does it mean he doesn't value friendship very much? Murphy looked tired, and he still sent him to come and pick me up. Well..he definitely meets his match, because I'm not going to condone any trashy attitudes from him!. Strange enough, I haven't seen the face of the heartless CEO as described by bloggers! Going through few of his pictures online only showed his back view, and never his face! How he does it is something I was puzzled about, until more research about him online shows that he controls over eighty percent of the media sector! Damned! The man is powerful! I was still saying inwardly to myself until Andrus,

    But what, pretty boy?” I said, and Andrus laughed out again. He seems to enjoy hearing me tease Murphy. “The CEO wears a half-cover mask on his face!” Murphy said, the sudden sharp screening of the car's brake, almost gave me a heart attack. “I am deeply sorry, Sir Murphy!” Andrus quickly apologized to him. “What is wrong?” Are you alright? Let me drive, if you are not feeling too well!” I said before turning to look at Murphy who was not perplexed at the sudden event. He seems to look calm for something like this. Or perhaps, he already knew about Andrus driving style? I thought inwardly. “I'm fine, miss! I am deeply sorry for that. It's just that ... .it's just that I heard something….!” “Please drive the car, Andrus!” Murphy, sharply but calmly interrupts him. “Yes, sir!” Andrus replied before starting the car. Leaning back on the seat, I watched him close his eyes before I did the same. There is something about Murphy that screams mystery! There seems to be this deep conne

    “No, sir!” He said after a pause.“Good! Head to Lawson's firm at once!” I said on entering the car.“Yes, sir!” He said and then zoomed off. Ten minutes later, we arrived at my lawyer's firm and passed through the backdoor. It was a famous law firm with wealthy clients seeking his legal advice. Entering the private elevator used solely by me, I head straight for his private office. I have the largest share of the private law firm. “President Chester, welcome sir!” Lawson's mild tone voice spoke up immediately and Andrus opened the door.I entered the room to see Sofia seated at the right side of a single black color couch, looking pale from god's knows what. A stout man with a bald head I presumed was her lawyer, is sitting in the single couch close to her while Lawson's was sitting in a double couch. Well…he was gracious enough to have served them coffee except for Sofia who had a bottle of water close to her.“Welcome president Chester, this is an honor to meet with you sir! The

    “Thank you sir, for honoring our invitation!” Her lawyer said. “The pleasure is mine!” With that, I walk out of the room with Andrus behind me. About entering the elevator, I heard yelling voices. “And you call yourself a lawyer? For Christ sake, you messed up everything! Literally, everything, Mr Smithwiggles!” An angry female voice sounding like Sofia, said. “I did not mess anything up, Miss Vergara! The lawyer was right in seeking proof of your claims…!” The lawyer was still trying to say something when she angrily interrupt him. “How can you let yourself feel intimidated by his mere presence? Gush! You made me feel like a foot before him!” Her voice became faint when the elevator door closed. “You can take a cab home, Andrus. I want to drive home, myself!” I said and he turned to stare at me. “Is there something else you want to say?” I asked without looking at him. “No, sir!” “Good!" I said,while coming out of the elevator and headed straight to the parked car. “Good da

    It's me, Murphy!” “Of course I know it's you, Murphy!” She said, sounding like someone who is trying not to laugh out. “How did you know it was me?” I pressed on, wanting to hear more. I want to hear her calm voice. It feels soothing to the ears. “Are you drunk or something? Of course I saved your contact on my phone! And your voice…” “My voice? What about my voice?" I quickly interrupted her, eager to hear what she had to say. “You have this kind of voice that sounds not too loud to the ears, but at the same manly. Like, It's in between. Gush! I really don't know how to describe it!” “Are you saying I sound feminine to the ears?” I tease her. “No…come on Murphy, you definitely know what I am talking about!” She said, and I laughed out hard, and loud. Wow! It has been a long time since someone has made me feel free, free with my real self!. “Alexis! Umm…can I call you that?” I asked not wanting to sound too informal or disrespectful to her. “Alexis? Wow! That sounds

    “So quickly? I thought he said thirty minutes?” Taking my purse, I head straight for the elevator. “Wow! You look stunning!” He said, on sighting me walking towards him. “Thank you! I hope I didn't overdo it?” I said, feeling shy from his hard stare. And I wonder why! I am the one always in control, not the other way around! So what's up with this new attitude around men? Or perhaps, just around Murphy?. “Nah! It's simple dressing but stunning!” He said, still staring at me. “Okay! Shall we?” I said, and he quickly opened the car door with a gentle smile. “Thank you!” I said on entering the same sporty car earlier on. “You are welcome, ma'am!”. With that, he drove off. “So, where are we going to?” I asked him after a brief silent between us. “To somewhere simple, quiet, but amazing!” He said with a smile. I noticed his tight grip on the steering wheel and wondering what he is nervous or anxious about!. “Alright!” I said and then turn to look at the bright, busy street. He d

    “What is it?” She turns to look at me, the moment I unconsciously sighs out loudly. “Nothing, Alexis! Alright, we are there!” I said quickly changing the topic. Looking for a good place to park the car, I came out and open the car door for her. “Wow! It quiet, and looks simple too!” She said, looking around the Chinese restaurant. “You like it here? We can go elsewhere if you want to!” “No…I love it here. Actually, I hate crowdy places!” She replied and i smiled, while we both walked towards the restaurant with few customers. “Hello, Murphy! Long time, no see!” a slim build man, who is the husband of the owner of the restaurant, said with his English-Chinese accent. “Hello, Mr Liu! How are you doing?” I replied with hug. “Fine, fine! Welcome, miss!” He said to her with a handshake. “Thank you sir!” She replied, blushing. “Murphy! How are you doing, pretty boy?"

    I fell in love with the simple, yet elegant decorations. It made me feel a little bit at home.Ten minutes later, I was done. You look beautiful, ma'am!” Selena said after putting the final touch to my clipped bun-hairstyle.“Thank you!” I said while staring at the sea blue eyes gazing back at me from the dressing mirror. The emerald necklace compliment the black color off-shoulder styled lengthy gown. Suddenly someone knocked gently on the closed door.“Yes!” Quickly Selena went to check out the reason for the knock. Opening, and closing back the door swiftly, I couldn't tell who the person was.“Ma'am, It's time!” She rushed towards me while I stood up slowly. Holding my black color clutch sized purse, we both went downstairs, where he was already waiting for me.“I thought I said twenty minutes?” He said while checking his wristwatch, the moment he saw me. “Sorry I'm… .. late!” I paused on my words on seeing him dressed up in a simple white color totem-neck styled long sleeve swe

    “What?” I said, deeply embarrassed with his stare. “You love it so much?” “You can say that again!” I said before chewing on the noddles with chopsticks, no longer embarrassed of his silent stares, and smug smile. He can go on watching me without eating, while I finish off everything. Murphy did informed him well about my favorite dishes. Eating more of the noddles, and pork meat, I suddenly saw something shinny inside the broth of the noddles. Curiously, i picked it up with the chopsticks. On seeing what it is, a loud gasps unconsciously escaped from my mouth. “I know it's not a proper marriage, but what is worth doing, is worth doing! Will you do me the honor of being my contract wife?” He said, already on his knees, staring intensely at my eyes, and I went mute unsure of what to say or how to respond to his crazy question. “Despite my traumatic past, yet I have always secretly hoped and dreamed about the day of being proposed to by a man that loves me.

The hidden warmth, and kindness behind the cold aura emitting from him, just like Murphy's” I thought inwardly while his eyes keeps trying draw me in, to trap me, and make me one with him. “Are you done?” He suddenly asked, and I jolt out of my thoughts. Swallowing my saliva back, I shifted uncomfortably in the seat before releasing the seat belt. “Yeah! Can we go in now?” I said, looking away from his face, feeling embarrassed. “Right after you, Milady!” He said with a soft chuckle, and I paused on my track. “Is there something you are not telling me?” I turned to look at him. “Humm…Something like what?” He asked, I saw those hints of fear in his eyes again. “I don't know! Maybe you should tell me about it!” I watched him nervously rubbing his palm against each other vigorously. “Tell you what, Alexis?” Listen dear, I am not hiding anything from you, okay!

Well, honestly, isn't fair!” She said, but I choose to ignore it. “The fifth one, I like I said, no flirting with the opposite gender as a married woman, and don't expect any form of intimacy from me!” I said, and she breathes out softly. “I have a condition too!" "Go on please!” “I won't be working with you at the company! And can we live separately?” She asked, and I frowned at the last part. “How do you intend to make it look real to the outside world if we were to be living separately? As the wife of a famous billionaire, all eyes especially the media eyes will be on you, finding faults from all angles!” I explained, and she breathes out softly, again. “I am smarter than she is!
