Then a i heard a phone ring. It's his phone.

"Excuse me, i have to take this call, I’ll be back in a minute," then he left his office.

Right after he left, I let my eyes wander around his office. My neck almost cracked while I try to look at the back.  This office is big! This is twice or more than twice the size of my house! His table is placed facing back the view of all the building and roads of Manila. If he turned back on his swivel chair, he’s gonna see the beautiful view of the lights of Manila at the night time because it’s glass!He also have a balcony where he can enjoy the cool breeze. He must be so rich! On the walls, he have so many expensive paintings. They’re so pretty. He also have a side where there are bookshelves full of so many books. This is heaven for a bookworm like me gosh! He’s living a luxury life! If I we’re him, I would donate some to charities or help people in need. But with that personality, I bet his not gonna do that.

Then I looked at the ring he gave me. Its diamond stone is shining.I wonder how much this is? He want me to wear this? He must be so crazy. Of all the other girls out there, he really did chose me huh? But I still can’t believe that his a mafia. Damn! I know this is trouble. His dangerous. What have I done. Know I know what people mean when they say that not all jokes are worth to say aloud.

But he just threatened me! How am I supposed to back out now! And it also means my scholarship! If I try to run out to this situation, He won’t sign the proposal of my school. If he doesn’t sign that, I’ll lost my scholarship. If I lost my scholarship, I won’t be a lawyer. If I didn’t graduate and be a lawyer, I Won’t get the justice I’ve been striving to get all my life. And when I did that, he would think that I would expose his secret. Then he’ll kill me! I don’t want to die! AHHHHHHHH!

Wait calm down, dear self, Be calm.

Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.

I let out a heavy sigh as I overthink of what will happen if I try to back out from here. So, he said he’s looking for a wife. Why? Is he being pressured? Maybe. Based on his looks. He looks like he’s in his late 20’s. And he’s so damn hot! His angled jaw, so sharp. His biceps that can’t almost fit in his long-sleeve polo, his thick eyebrows that are always seem to want to touch each other, he’s intense eyes, What am I thinking?!

But, I am just a college student, I can’t be his wife! I can’t do that! I can’t even cook my own food! 

The big double doors opened and it swallowed an fine lady. She is wearing a black fitted skirt and a white lady polo.

“Good morning Ma’am. Mr. Villamorannas said that I should watch for you all the time. I’m Collin Jacinto, I’m another secretary here. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me. ” then she smiled sweetly at me. She’s so pretty.

“Uhm, can I have a uhm…… snack? I’m really hungry.” I said shyly. Then she nodded and faced back at me. He walked out the office probably to get me some snack. Ugh I’m hungryyy!

My phone suddenly vibrated from my pocket. Elocin is calling.

“Hello?” I answered the phone.

“Hi! I just want to know how are you? Is the building big? Are the employees nice? Did they let you in? Did you already have lunch-”

“Easy, girl. One question at a time. I only have one mouth,” I chuckled on the phone. Damn this girl. So talkative.

“Okay fine. How are you there?”

“I’m fine. And I have a LOTTTTT to tell you when I got home.”

“Yieeeeee! That’s what I want! Okay see you later at home! Bye!” then she hung up. There is no one much more exited than her to hear a news that you have something to tell her.

The double doors opened and there entered the CEO Mr. Elexier Villamorannas.He directly went to his table and tried to find something

“Sorry I left. It’s an important call. So, is there something you need?”

“Uhmm, there’s a lady who came here. She told me to tell her what I need. I told her to get me some snacks. I’m hungry.” I said then smiled a bit.

“Alright, is that all? If that’s it let’s proceed to the husband and wife thing. We need to sign the documents and the certificate of marriage-”

“woah woah woah wait! What? That hurry?can we slow down? You’re faster than the speed of light! I can’t do it!”

Then he crossed his arms on his chest and took a deep breath. He looked at me, brows furrowed, and he’s wearing his serious eyes.

“Why not? You want your scholarship removed? Huh woman?”

“No no no! Of course not! But, but…….”

Shesh find an excuse damn it!

“The proposal! You should take it first! Yeah that’s right!”

Shesh I’m so nervous! I’m literally shaking right now gosh! Please end this now!

“Is that what you’re thinking? I have already signed it don’t worry. No need to present tomorrow. I have already called the school and told them that you visited and made me impressed so I did sign the proposal.They believed it. And also, I asked them if you could be excused for a week. They said yes. Your scholarship is saved. I did the favor you want. Now do mine.”

Then his large footsteps ate the space between us. Now my shaking got worse! We’re just a meter apart! Dang! He moved so close to my face that I can feel his breath. His eyes intensifies. His lips parted. He licked it and make me shiver. Damn his lips look so soft. I think that’s the only soft feature he has. He looks so hard and harsh. His looks fits his personality damn! I hate this! I hate him!

“Be fair, woman.”

I covered my mouth using both of my hands. Shesh! This scene! I see movies that the main lead kisses the girl all the time when she's already cornered! Frick! If that happens, this man is gonna be my first kiss! OMGGGG

He raised brow at me, and curve on his lips grew. He looked at my hands that is covering my mouth, then she went back looking at my eyes.

"Why are you covering your mouth? Are you that afraid that I might kiss you, huh? You are over reacting, woman."

I'm still shaking and my heart is pounding so bad. I'm nervous!

"N-no," then I slowly lower down my hands. I don't want him to think that that's the kind of thing I am thinking when he's around I looked down but she suddenly lift my chin using his hands and I felt a soft wet thing i my lips.

OMGGG?!!!
