Chapter 1: How We Started

Kyle's Point of View :

"I want an allowance!" Twaine suddenly appeared in front of me after she got dressed.

"God, Twaine! comb your hair first! You look like a child!" I told her while shaking my head.

"I'm still young! You're just old." She said philosophically. I glared at her.

"Are you going to annoy me or I won't give your allowance? You choose." I told her.

"Of course I was just joking. To be honest, you're the most handsome man I've ever met!" She's flattering me. Tsk. Before ruining my day, I took my wallet and gave her, her allowance for a week.

After I gave it to her, she immediately left the house. I put her first because we can't be together, apart from ruining my job, Twaine will lose the freedom to choose the one she truly loves.

I was twenty years old and a fresh graduate in college when our parents decided to marry us. Twaine had just graduated from Senior High School.

She's only 15 during that time. We both didn’t want to get married to each other because Twaine Isabelle Montenegro was too young then, and I was also in a relationship at that time.

Aside from the fact that we don’t know each other we both still hate each other once after we meet.

I can still remember how Twaine cried and lost her temper because she didn't want to be tied to me, but because our parents wanted it, so we both did nothing but to obeyed them.

My Mom and Twaine's Dad were best friends so before Twaine's Dad passed away, he asked us to get married.

After we got married exactly two weeks ago, her Dad finally said goodbye to her due to cancer.

Twaine was sad during that time, of course, anyone who's in her place will feel the same. I'm the only one who stays by her side so we kind of got along, but we still won't lose our quarrel sometimes, especially since Twaine is stubborn.

By the way, I am Adrian Kyle Mendez. I am twenty-two years old and a professor major in Mathematics.

I don't like teaching but because I want to watch my little wife, so I was forced to teach. If I just wanted to, the position of CEO in our company was available, I wouldn’t have to struggle with teaching if it weren’t for her. Tsk.

I want to watch her, not because I love her, but because that's what her Dad wants. Before Twaine and I got married, we also secretly agreed that we could get a divorce once we found our same true love.

That's why no one else should know that we are married.

Before coming late to school, I went to the parking lot of our house to pick up my car. I turned it on immediately after I boarded and after a thirty-minute drive, I also reached Hartfeld.

As soon as I got out of the car, I immediately saw Twaine's angelic smile while talking to her friends. We didn't seem to know each other when I passed by her because she didn't even glance at me.

I just ignored that because that's really what we should be, to pretend we don't know each other. When I arrived at my office, I noticed that Twaine's section was the first classroom I would teach.

I looked at my wristwatch first and in 10 minutes I would start. I picked up the things I needed then I walked to the 4th floor of the Sakura building.

"Good morning, Sir!" Some students greeted me while others were busy talking and others were on their cellphones.

"That's why I hate teaching." I just whispered to myself. I looked at Twaine's chair but she wasn't there yet.

"Good morning class!" I greeted them all.

"Sir, sorry we're late—" I stared at the door. I saw Twaine with someone, they were holding hands.

"Come in." I just told them both. When they entered, they were still sitting side by side in the chair.

I just checked the attendance first and that's when I found out that Jeremy was the name of Twaine's holding hands.

Since it's their first day so I didn't ask them to do much. I just gave the preliminary knowledge for our topic for the whole sem.

It was eight o'clock in the evening when I got home. But to my surprise, Twaine was still not there. I tried to call her but she did not answer my calls.

"She's making me angry!" Because I was annoyed, I just got dressed and went to my room. I was just lying down when I saw on the CCTV here in my room that she also came.

"Where have you been? It's already 8:30 in the evening Twaine!" I angrily told her.

"I'm sorry, Jeremy and I dated." She reasoned.

"Next time, I don't want you to go home late just because of dating!" I told her angrily.

"Yes, I'll follow." She answered without looking at me.

"Come in and change. Then rest!" I told her, still feeling angry.

"Okay."

When she entered her room, I just sighed.

She didn't spend the night dating before, but now, she is.

After I made sure that the whole house was locked, I immediately went back to my room.

"Ahh!" I was surprised because Twaine was screaming in panic, I immediately get out of my room and ran to her.

"Twaine! What's wrong with you?" I asked her worriedly.

"K-kyle— there's a cockroach! Ahh!" She was still screaming inside the bathroom, so I didn't hesitate to get in there. I immediately killed the cockroach and flushed it in the toilet.

I was stunned with my feet when I saw Twaine's nakedness.

"Sh*t I'm getting hot," I said in almost a whisper.

"Ahh! Get out! You— rude!" At once she slapped me with the mug she was holding.

"You're rude! Ahh!" I was surprised when she started to cry so I was even more confused. I don’t know if I’ll hug her with the towel or I’ll come out of the bathroom.

She continued hitting me while sobbing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—I'm just really confused." I apologize to her while hugging her tightly.

She didn't say a word. So, I wrapped her in a towel and helped her get out of the bathroom.

"Dress up now," I said turning away.

"I'm going out. Good night." She still didn't utter any word. So, I decided to finally leave her room.
