[ Myrtle's Point of View ]
I couldn't move, he was so close to me! But, our position is...
What the freak?
I bumped my forehead to his head, and he winced in pain.
Haha! Good thing I always do that to my older brother.
So, this is not a dream?
I rushed to grab the blanket I dropped on the floor and covered my body again. What have I done?
"Hey! Why am I here?" I screamed at the man sitting on the bed while I was at the corner, hiding.
"Well, I saw you sleeping on the hospital bench, so I had no choice but to bring you here," he replied while massaging his forehead.
"You can't just do that! How would I know if you did something to me while I was asleep? And how did my clothes change!? Did you do something?!" I screamed furiously at him.
"No, I didn't touch you, except when I was carrying to my car and when I placed you here on my bed." He leaned back and placed both his hands on the bed.
"Then, who changed my clothes!?"
"I asked my maid to change your clothes because the one that you were wearing yesterday was already ruined and dirty."
How dare he insult me?
"Anyway, eat up, and I'll bring you back to the hospital after you get ready. There are already prepared clothes for you inside my closet, and you can use my bathroom if you would want to wash up," he continued and stood up.
He opened the door of the room and looked back at me.
"By the way, you have a nice body," he said and winked at me.
I felt my whole face blush! Why does he have to say that!?
PERVERT!
I rushed to the bathroom and immediately took a bath. After that, I went to the closet and looked for my clothes.
Is it the clothes I wore yesterday? Of course not. He probably threw that already.
I saw a beautiful yellow mini dress hung at the ends of the closet and took it out.
"Wow," I muttered while holding the dress.
I tried it out immediately because I've never tried to wear dresses before. I have worn shirts, long sleeves, jeans, boots, and rubber shoes all my life. Of course, I can't wear dresses while working in the fields.
It suits me perfectly! I twirled around left and right in front of the mirror while looking at myself.
I never realized I was this beautiful.
"Hello, ma'am! Pardon me, I already entered. I have to fix your hair and makeup." A cute maid came inside the room and smiled ear to ear.
"Uhm, I don't wear makeup, so it might not look good on me," I hesitantly replied.
"Oh, that's fine. I know the perfect shades for you!" she replied happily.
She opened the makeup kit and brought out different makeups I'm not even familiar with.
We moved in the vanity table, and she turned the mirror's lights on. Everything in my face is clearly seen, even the pores and dirt.
"Hmm, are you sir Sean's girlfriend, ma'am?" she asked while brushing my face.
"No. I'm also confused why he brought me here. I just met him yesterday," I replied.
So, his name is Sean.
She giggled silently and said, "He must've felt something for you when he saw you yesterday. He is usually cold to women he meets outside even if they keep flirting him."
That's not my problem anymore.
"What's this for? Why do I need to look so good when I'm just going to visit my mom at the hospital?" I asked.
"I don't know too, ma'am. Sir just commanded me to fix you. And I'm the one who changed your clothes a while back!"
"Good thing it was you. By the way, how old are you?" I was curious about her age because she looked a lot younger and smaller than me.
"Me? Oh, I'm fifteen!" She smiled widely.
Fifteen? Why is she working as a maid? Isn't that child labor?
"You're too young to be a maid." I smiled back, and she continued putting on my makeup.
"Well, actually, I'm not a maid here. My mom is the real maid, and I just help her work because sometimes, she gets really sick," she replied with sadness in her eyes and voice.
I suddenly remembered my mom. I hope I can earn as soon as possible.
"You're such a great girl. Continue to help your mom." I patted her head, and she smiled at me again.
"Thanks! You're now done!" she responded in glee and jiggled her hands.
She's too cute to handle!
I looked at my face in the mirror, and I looked like a totally different person.
Am I really this beautiful? Or is this just my illusion?
"You may now go out, ma'am! Your bag is also with sir Sean. He is waiting for you outside." She smiled at me again and pushed me to go outside.
I gazed at the condo when I went out of the room. It's massive! There's a golden chandelier, everything is painted neatly in white, the furniture is like from abroad, everything is so elegant!
"This condo is so big, right? You would think of it as a mansion," the girl beside me said.
"Yeah, I've never seen a place like this before," I replied in awe.
"Alright, there's sir already! Have a nice trip and stay safe!" She pushed me again to the exit door, and there I saw Sean standing with a black Porsche, wearing a blue polo and black trouser.
Please help me. How can Sean be so hot and handsome at the same time? This is illegal.
He looked at me and smiled. He walked towards me and grabbed my right hand.
"You look beautiful," he uttered.
I just rolled my eyes at him.
He opened the car's passenger seat for me, and I went inside.
He went to the driver's seat and started the car's engine.
"Do you feel hot?" he asked while opening the aircon of the car and unbuttoning the buttons of his polo. He folded his sleeves and placed one hand in the steering wheel.
I found myself drooling over him and his hot little deeds, so I unconsciously replied, "You're hot."
He looked at me and smirked. "You too."
He started driving, and the silence was too loud! Why isn't he talking? After what he did to me, he won't talk?
"So, what's your name?" he finally asked and glanced at me for a second.
"I'm Myrtle."
"Full name?"
"Myrtle Piena Saragoza. What about you? What's your name?"
"Sean Kalix Ackerman," he replied.
It's like I've heard that name before. I'm not sure, though.
"Have we met before? Why do you feel like someone who knows me?" I confusedly asked.
"Hmm, not really," he replied.
I nodded my head and shrugged. I looked outside the window and saw the beautiful scenery in this city.
It's my second time visiting a city. The first time was when I visited my cousin here and now is the second.
Everything is here is full of buildings and other different establishments. People are classy and fashionable. I feel like I don't belong here at all.
After all, I'm just a girl who lives on a farm and does nothing but plows the soils and gets muddy every day.
I sighed heavily. How can I find a job in this kind of place? I feel like everyone has a top-tier status, and I won't even fit in any jobs here.
"Why are you sulking?" the man beside me asked all of a sudden.
"Do you think I could find a job in this place?" I asked.
"Yup. There are a lot of jobs out there who are currently looking and hiring workers," he replied in a deep voice.
I sighed again. I remembered that I had to enroll in the medical university in the province, and now I couldn't because I needed to earn for mom's surgery.
"If only I was born rich like you, my life wouldn't be this hard," I mumbled.
"Well, being rich also has a lot of consequences. You won't have genuine friends, and some people manipulate you for money. It's hard to find people you could trust if you're rich."
"But still, it doesn't matter. I need money to enroll in my dream course and to help pay the hospital bills."
He didn't reply and suddenly halted the car.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" He moved closer to me and asked.
"Uh... No, I don't feel hungry," I replied because I'm so shy after he let me stay in his house for a while.
But my stomach said otherwise. It started to growl like a dying whale when the smell of waffles entered my nose.
We both looked at my stomach, and he smiled.
"I'll take that as a yes. Do you want waffles?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm sorry, I would pay for it," I replied in humiliation.
"It's fine. You don't need to worry about it." He winked at me and went out of the car.
I just stared at him as he was buying waffles for both of us. As I was staring, a sudden question popped out of my mind.
Why is he doing this for me when we just met yesterday?
Myrtle's Point of View"Did you wake up early?" Sean asked me as soon as he woke up.I slept beside Lemon last night. I couldn't bear sleeping with Sean after what he just muttered.I didn't reply.I don't even understand why I am feeling this way. It's so pathetic!Like I care if he still loves his ex-girlfriend.But still, he kept confessing his love to me! It's so confusing."Hey, darling, what's—""Could you stop calling me that? It's so annoying," I unintentionally yelled.This doesn't feel like me. My parents didn't raise me to just yell at anyone for no reason."Oh, is it your time of the month? I'm so sorry. I'll go buy you pads. Do you use tampons? What do you want to eat? Pizza? Chocolate?" he asked.His voice made me infuriated. I just don't want to hear him talk to me for a while."Yes, it's that time of the month. Please don't talk to me first because your voice an
Myrtle's Point of ViewIt's been a week since Sean and I went on our honeymoon.After that, we barely even talked about anything because he was always at work.I wondered if I really loved him, would I be annoyed if my husband lost his time for me?Anyhow, it's not my problem anymore. I know his job isn't as easy as I think it is. It's probably more complicated than plowing the fields."Good morning, Myrtle. Are you alright?" I heard Lemon's voice.She was peeping through my door."Oh, come in," I told her.Immediately, she jumped into my bed."Hey! Don't be so naughty!" I yelled at her."So, what have you been thinking?" Lemon asked me and placed a cola-flavored lollipop in her mouth."None at all," I replied and laid down on my bed beside her.Sean mentioned before that he was planning on making me his secretary once we got married. I think he didn't take that seriously. Until now,
Myrtle's Point of ViewThis day is the last day of our honeymoon slash vacation. It kind of saddens me because I wanted to spend more time here. However, Sean is abruptly needed in their company."You sure you're going to come with me already? You can stay here for a few more days," Sean said as he wiped his wet hair. He just came out from the shower."No, I'll come home too," I replied.It's going to be embarrassing if I stayed here alone. Well, in fact, I don't own this resort or anything here.Everything is Sean's.Sean sighed and looked at me. He looked apologetic."I'm really sorry we have to go back immediately. If you want, I can cancel my schedules and—""Don't worry about it, Sean. It's fine, and I'm fine. There's nothing you should worry about." I smiled at him.He just nodded and smiled back at me.For the last time, I gazed my eyes around the place and let myself drown in its bea
/Myrtle's Point of View/I woke up earlier than Sean to roam around the place. I went outside barefoot and looked at the ocean through the shore.This place is heaven. I can't believe I'm actually experiencing going to a place like this.Thank goodness the staff lend me a shawl to cover my skin. I'm still wearing my nightgown since the extra shirts here are not yet dried.I let the cold breeze of air touch my skin and sighed. I can't believe I am actually married.Am I dreaming?Of course not."Good morning, beautiful. Why did you wake up so early?" I heard a voice from behind.I didn't look back because I knew the voice was from Sean. After a while, I felt his arms being wrapped around me."Hey, what are you doing?" I asked him in shock."Hugging you, obviously?" he replied in his deep, morning voice.I just sighed. I looked at the ocean and inhaled heavily."Do you like it here?" S
/Myrtle's Point of View/Where am I?Did I pass out?I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the area.I'm inside a clinic and still wearing my wedding gown.What happened?A nurse came in, and I immediately asked her what was happening. She told me I had lost consciousness in the bathroom, and Sean brought me here.I messed up again.I can't believe the wedding was ruined because of me."Myrtle." Sean walked towards me and immediately hugged me. "Are you okay?" he asked.
/Myrtle's Point of View/Today is the day.A day that most people await.Today is my wedding.Bells, bells, bells.Flowers and roses everywhere.As I stepped inside the venue, all eyes were on me, as if they were really anticipating the bride of the billionaire.The place was just so magnificent. The decorations were full of white cloth and gold ornaments everywhere! Even if I expected something like this, I'm still surprised.Even if this wedding is so elegant, I don't feel love.I didn't feel anyt
