It was as if my head was being split as I opened my eyes slowly. Plus the fact that the surroundings was pure white. I think I was even more dizzy that I couldn't see any color.
"She's awake. I'll go, just don't let anyone find out that I brought her here."
I think my ears perked up when I heard it that I got up in no time. My eyes widened as I looked at someone's body build that had just come out of the door. The door closed softly, so I couldn't recognize the man.
My eyes became wider and I immediately hugged myself. My lips were still parted when I saw how thick the white blanket was that was wrapped around my body.
My heart was beating fast, and I was terrified at the thought of what might have happened to me. I don't even remember how I got to this place. I'm not even sure if it's a hotel or a mental hospital! All I see is white!
What did you do last night at the engagement, Mayu?!
I closed my eyes tightly and tried to remember what happened at the party. But nothing else comes to my mind but the small empty box. After that, I don't remember anything; my vision just went dark.
I tried to remember if I was able to go home or even leave the venue, but nothing! The last memory I really have is of the small empty box.
Empty!
My eyes grew wide as my mouth parted. The old man's voice also flowed into my mind.
"The one whose box is empty will be my grandson's fiancée!"
"Shit! I'm the freaking fiancée!" I shouted loudly.
"I'm the fiancée! Dear Lord! What a gift you gave me!" I blew a flying kiss in the air and waved my hands.
I drew a wide smile on my lips and gently tucked my hair behind my ear. I can't stop the thrill of finally being able to change my last name. Finally, my parents can accept me!
But my smile suddenly disappeared after remembering that my fiancé was Aldo Hendrix.
If my calculations are correct, he is also the man who wants to chase me. The man without a wrinkle in his body and the man with two colored eyes.
I swallowed after remembering how brave and strong his eyes looked. I feel that I will die young if I go ahead with the marriage. It's like just one look from him will knock you down.
Knock you down in pleasure! Rawr!
I was speechless and almost slapped myself for my stupidity. What's the pleasure? It looks like that monster is ready to take your life. If I hadn't known the man was human, I would have thought he came from another planet.
"How are you going to deal with that, Mayu?" I was annoyed with myself.
I shook my head a few times and buried myself in the soft blanket, but that made me open my eyes.
How can I get married when I'm here in an unknown place?! Add to that, I'm in the room where a man just came from?!
I blinked and was stunned.
I think I'm going crazy with so many thoughts. It still crossed my mind that something might have happened last night.
Shit, Mayu!
I narrowed my eyes and lifted the blanket to see if I was still intact. My hands were shaking as I felt rats running inside my chest. I think they are pushing each other so hard that my chest doesn't want to stop pounding.
I bit my lip as I closed my eyes and checked myself. My forehead was still wrinkled after feeling the soft and smooth fabric. It feels like being soaked in fabric conditioner ten times!
I slowly opened my one eye and gently removed the blanket. I was completely relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're so blessed, Mayu! You're still whole! You're still whole—"
I stopped after hearing the doorknob turn. After that, the door finally opened and it showed the man who had just filled my mind. But now, he is alive and fresh-looking in his khaki shorts and white long-sleeved shirt folded up to his elbows. Even his hair was obviously freshly washed as a few strands were damp on his forehead.
I was still staring at the three open buttons of his long sleeve. He seems alluring and can attract anyone who will look at his chest with a few hairs.
"You are not panicking that you were kidnapped huh?" His eyes of a different color were sharp, which made me even more nervous.
The depth of his green eyes almost matched his cloudy silver eyes. I don't know where to focus my attention. Whether on the green, or silver-colored eye.
"Speechless?" he asked, then smirked.
His eyebrows twitched slightly before he slipped his hand into the pocket of his khaki shorts and walked closer.
I quickly hugged myself and stepped back even though I wasn't sure if I still had steps to take on the bed.
"Afraid? Why are you feeling scared now if you intentionally stole Addison's ring box? Aren't you happy that I'll be your fiancé?" His eyes became sharper and almost burst into flames.
I blinked, and my heart couldn't calm down. Fear has caused my muscles to freeze.I don't even think about this box that I took. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't steal any boxes!
"Stop moving. Why don't we just enjoy this mess you made?" he challenged and came closer to the bed.
I swallowed hard as the word enjoyment came to mind. Does he mean we will do that?
My tongue itched, and another step made me scream.
"Monster!" I stretched out my hand so that he would pull me and not fall completely, but he did nothing but watch me fall to the floor.
I still snorted weakly from the pain in my hip and leg after falling. It's not too much. I guess I was just shocked. I massaged my leg before turning to him and giving him a look.
"Shut up, Id*ot!" I winced and tried to stand up.
He did nothing but frown and watch me impatiently as I struggled to stand up.
"Addison is far better than you. You're a bit immature. I don't really know how you did it, but you stole the box from her hands—"
"Excuse me?" I raised an eyebrow at him, but that made him smirk.
The pain in my heart that Addison is better than me is already painful, and being called a thief doubles the pain. I don't know, but it felt heavy that I was being compared to Addison. To my sister, who has a complete family and a parent by her side.
What do I have against a woman who has already won her own family?
I smiled bitterly but quickly hid it and didn't want him to notice it. He might say I'm asking for pity.
"I don't mind really. It's just that, she looks much sexier than you. Maybe she's way better in bed too compared to you," he added.
I was shocked and he seemed to be testing my patience. He stared and did not take his eyes off of me.
It's like I'm being judged by the way he looked at me. Roasted on a hot stove. I don't understand why so many women want to be his wife when his behavior is not beautiful.
"I see. Aside from you came from a different blood. I think I am also unblessed, since you are both back. A wall standing—"
"What! You mean I'm flat chested?!" I asked annoyed. I even hugged myself.
But I am not!
"What else do you expect? Blessed? If that is the right term. But sorry, I don't see any, and I might not feel any."
I saw him snort and shake his head before turning away. I think he is going to leave and doesn't intend to let me go. Of all the abductors, he is the most contemptible!
Did he think he was also a blessing in disguise? What is wrong with my character that he thinks I am not a blessing to him? I guess all those who come close to me think of my personality as karma.
And I don't want to be left again. That's not fair anymore. I am the chosen one, and I think I should fight for it.
"Wait a minute." I stopped him from walking towards the door.
He really intends to leave!
He stopped and slightly looked at me from behind. He raised an eyebrow before speaking. His scary eyes are leading the way again.
"What? Speak. I have no time for sweet chit-chat. Spill it before I send you out and let you live in the nearest island," he uttered in his cold voice.
My eyes widened and I quickly ran the distance between the two of us.
He doesn't want to get married like that and he can exile me?!
"Just a moment!" I grabbed his arm and his gaze became sharper, "I'm easy to talk to. If you don't want to get married, it's okay for me to be single—"
"For you? Yes. But for my grandfather? Everything needs to be settled before this day ends. So it's better to throw you somewhere he can't find you."
He was about to turn around, but I blocked his way. I wanted to protest but was overcome by fear after his eyes stared.
I don't think I will lose my nervousness every time I look at his eyes!
"We can try. Maybe work it out," I insisted.
"Or, we can divorce after one year," I added.
I tried to come closer but his eyebrows were almost touching, so I stopped and bit my own tongue.
"It's a no, Darling," he said, referring to the marriage, "You don't even look appetizing—"
"I'm good in bed too!" I almost closed my eyes after shouting that.
Despite the fact that I know nothing about bed, I want to be his fiancée. Maybe when I'm his fiance, Mom and Dad will be ready to accept me. That will give me a complete family.
He fell silent and looked at me even more and didn't seem to believe it. I braced myself and decided on the plan in mind. Maybe he can change his mind.
I took a deep breath before rolling my eyes. What encouragement should I take?
"Uhm, just give me some brandy, or whiskey. As long as it's alcohol that will make me drunk. Come on, I'll prove it to you!" I still had the courage to look up and stare again at his eyes, covered with heat.
I could see his lips twitching and trying to stop himself from smiling or laughing. But he also took a step and headed to the cabinet. A wine that was unfamiliar to me was brought out. Just brown. He looked so smooth while carrying it in his rough hands.
"This is 70 percent alcohol content whis—"
I didn't finish what he had to say and just grabbed the wine from him. I opened and wasted no time in drinking from the bottle. I almost cried because of the bitterness and heat in my throat.
After this, I won't drink alcohol anymore!
I slowly put it on the floor when I could barely swallow. I even wiped the drip on the side of my lips before looking at him with an arched eyebrow. His gaze darkened and his jaw tightened.
"I surely don't want a drunken wife," he declared.
As I saw how he shook his head and cringed, "Much more, a crazy wife. You are not qualified, Miss."
But I am no longer affected by any of his insults. Even though I was dizzy and overwhelmed with thirst, my full attention was only on him.
"But you want a satisfying wife, Aldo. And here I am." I grinned before approaching him.
He backed off once, but the second time he tried, I didn't let him. I willingly pulled on his neck and immediately kissed his lips deeply. No air was allowed to pass between the two of us.
I couldn't feel his lips moving, so I deepened the kiss in a rhythm only I knew. I gently pulled on his long sleeve until he finally reached my waist and kissed me deeply.I wanted to smirk at what he did, but I couldn't. I want to tease and taunt him, but it looks like I am the one who is getting carried away by him.I can feel his hold tightening and getting me closer to his body. It seems that he does not intend to let me go. I secretly smiled and slowly walked away. When I bit his lower lip slightly, he moaned.I tried to regain my courage and strength."If I satisfy you, you'll accept me as your fiancée. Deal?" I whispered and looked at him with lust.I heard his weak resistance, but he himself pulled my neck and kissed me deeply. I can still feel his tongue pressing against my lips. It seems like he won't stop until he succeeds.He lightly bit my lower lip, causing his tongue to travel freely in my mouth.My grip on his longsleeve tightened even more with the sensation I felt. I
"Are you really gonna throw me away?" I asked in disbelief as I looked at the chopper in front."Guess what? I have decided." He smirked and gently grabbed my arm as I approached the chopper."Just a moment, Aldo! Let me say goodbye to my Mother Rosario first! Plus that, you're the one who got satisfied so—"I stopped after he stopped and met my gaze with his green and silver eyes. The edge of his lips didn't even lift, which gave me the creeps."Uh, there might be a few more days before you deport me to the island. I haven't even been able to work yet—""That's the point. That's why I'll keep you." He stepped again while he was still pulling me along with him."What do you mean?!" I screamed loud enough for him to hear and not be defeated by the noise of the chopper.I also tried to carefully hold the hem of my white dress while approaching."Aldo, you enjoyed what happened! That should be enough to get me off!"But he didn't answer and just put the headphones on me. My heart almost
I kept my head down and clenched my fist.'Tell them I'm your freaking fiancée, Aldo!'I wanted to shout that, but it just stayed in my mind. Waiting for what he has to say."She's what?" said the lady again, bored with what Aldo had to say.I want to speak first, but just by looking at Aldo's eyes, my tongue has already backed off."She's Mayu..."I caught my breath and bit my lower lip at the softness of his voice compared to earlier, which was terrifying. I'm ready to smile at everyone because I feel that what he has to say is good."She's my secretary," in his cold voice again.It was as if heaven and earth had thrown me down. The introduction is fine, but not what I expected. I thought he was going to say I was his fiancée. I hoped he would have changed his mind, but he didn't.I closed my eyes tightly, especially when I heard Mommy's weak, insulting laugh."How did she even get qualified?" it was my Sister Addison again."Probably because she's sexy, spicy, and hot."I looked up
I couldn't sleep for several times because, as he said, he would drag me onto his bed. I don't know why he thought like that, and I don't intend to take it seriously anymore, especially since I feel bad about it."Here, they need a secretary." Alice pointed out the name of the company from the newspaper.My eyes narrowed, and I just nodded, but I felt heavy and that the room was spinning.I tried to regain my senses, trying to get rid of the dizziness."What happened to you? You turned pale, Mayu." She stood up and immediately approached me at the table."Uhm, I think I'm gonna vomit, Alice. I already felt it early in the morning—" I covered my mouth after feeling like I was about to throw up."Huh? Is it food poison?"I didn't answer her and just went straight to the sink. I threw up, but it was purely saliva.I felt cold, and my forehead almost broke out in cold sweats."Mother Rosario, Mayu was food poisoned!"I clung to the sink tightly and vomited once more. I could still feel Al
But in my mind, he refers to something else. It seems like he wanted me as his secretary, but he just wanted me in bed. Shaking my head, I forced myself to step closer to him. Only after this meeting will I try to talk to him soberly."I thought you liked me." Addison glared a little at Aldo."Excuse me? You're not likeable, Addi." Stella rolled her eyes."You shut the fuck up, Stella! As if you're delectable!"I think their argument made my head hurt even more. Especially when hearing clearing of throats from other shareholders. I even caught a glimpse of how Mr. Gueco shook his head and smirked."Mister Castellano, why don't you just replace your secretary? My daughter is much more qualified than—" it Mommy, but Daddy cut her words."My daughter here, Stella, is much more qualified than Addison," it was Daddy who looked sharply at my mother."Uh-oh," reacted the man who was with me at the door earlier, "Isn't Mayu also your daughter, Mrs. Smith, and Mister Lopez?" He grinned and ev
"Aldo, this is not good. This is inappropriate." I tried to push him again, but he just captured my lips."Shh. They might hear you," he warned me in between his kisses.I groaned involuntarily after feeling his kisses travel down my jaw and then to my neck."Hush, Sweetie," he reminded, and that made me bite my lip harshly when I felt his hand caress my thigh."Mayu! Let's talk!"Stella's voice woke me up again. I was bewildered when I heard her enter the bathroom. I tried to push Aldo again, but he just pinned me to the wall and attacked my lips again. I caught a glimpse of his arm leaning against the wall just to kiss me deeper.He sipped my tongue, and that made me fist his hair, wanting more of it."Mayu! I'm not kidding!" Stella shouted louder.But I didn't focus on that anymore. The heat I am feeling is winning even more as I feel Aldo's hand on my waist. Making small circles from there."Mayu!"My eyes grew wider again when I heard Stella knocking on each cubicle. I even caugh
I don't know why I couldn't utter a protest; instead, I uttered long moans when his kisses traveled down to my stomach and much lower. He bit the tip of my seamless underwear and pulled it down using his teeth. But he was so impatient that he just ripped it away before his kisses traveled down my thigh to the center.I completely lost the need to stop him because I myself wanted to ask him not to stop."Aldo—""Hush, Sweetie. I just want a taste." He kissed it, rolled his tongue over it, and even felt it with his fingertips.I closed my eyes tightly with nervousness and excitement. And I will admit that the heat brought by his lips and fingers is consuming my core. I didn't even realize that I was lying on the bed while he was still kneeling on the floor and boring himself.I bit my lip when he put my leg on his shoulder. And I almost pulled his hair when I felt his tongue inside."Stop, Aldo. I cannot take it anymore!" I shouted when his tongue did some wonder."Let it go, I'm all in
"Work, Sweetie. I'm waiting," I read his text.I shook my head and rolled my eyes. Even though the text was from an unknown number, it was clear, just like distilled water, who it was from. I wouldn't be surprised if Aldo had my number. I guess he can spin everything in the palm of his hand. Well, except me.I smirked after realizing it had been a week since we hadn't tangled up under the sheets. He texts every day and waits for me to get out of the elevator, but I'm ignoring him. I'm serious when I say that was the last; it just depends on a miracle.I want a ring on my finger before giving in to him again. He can't benefit from my body for free while I'm still not accepted by my parents. If I had the chance to visit old man Castellanos, I would have done it. Maybe if he's the one to offer marriage, I'll grab it too.I stopped in front of the elevator after feeling the vibration of my cellphone. I raised an eyebrow when I read Aldo's message.It's even easier to get the old man, Cast
