Chapter 5

Narat’s POV

“Tick…tok…..tick…..tok….” He winked at me.

Gosh this guy is getting on my nerves big time.. I want to crush his bones with my bare hands.

But I need this money badly. I have no one to call at a time like this. Teer is still struggling with his bar, and the money is huge… Damn this! and there’s no one else to call. Teer’s still struggling to keep his bar afloat. The amount Kasit’s offering is huge… Damn it all.

“Fine!” I snapped, forcing a tight smile. “I just hope you don’t scream loud enough to wake the whole hotel.”

“Let’s see about that.” He winked again, settling at the edge of the bed like a king waiting to be served.

I took a deep breath and crawled toward him, locking eyes with a glare that could kill. Positioning myself between his legs, I reached for his belt. My fingers trembled as I undid it slowly, heart slamming against my ribs.

You’ve got this. Just do it.

I loosen the button and zipped it down, my jaw dropped. What a sight!!

Why act like it’s your first time seeing one?” he teased, voice low and amused. “I get it…..it’s huge. But don’t worry, pretty mouth… it’s all yours tonight.”

What the hell is wrong with me? How is he gifted like this? And why…..why the fuck……is heat pooling in my gut just looking at it?

I hate this. I’m straight. This isn’t supposed to feel… good.

I reached to pull his pants lower, ready to face it, but he suddenly grabbed my neck….firm, not painful and guided me up. Before I could react, he flipped us. Now he was on top, pinning me to the mattress.

“What do you think you’re doing?” I panicked, shoving at his chest.

He caught both my wrists and pinned them above my head, that wicked grin spreading. Leaning in close….too close….his breath ghosted my lips.

I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for a kiss… but nothing.

A soft chuckle rumbled from him. He tugged my nose playfully instead. “You’re really pretty. I’ll call the lawyer.”

He released me completely and rolled off.

“Wait.” I grabbed his wrist on instinct. “I haven’t… pleased you yet. Like you wanted.”

“You’re going to be my wife.” His voice dropped, eyes darkening. “I don’t have to rush anything when I can have you anytime I want.”

“So you won’t give the deal to someone else just because I failed?”

“You’re too cute to let slip through my fingers.” He leaned in, whispering against my ear, “And that night at the hotel? You pleased me so well I can’t stop thinking about it.”

Then he pressed a soft kiss to my cheek.

“You’re mine now.”

“You—!” I almost called him a jerk but swallowed it, pasting on a fake smile instead.

A few minutes later, the lawyer arrived with the contract. We signed it, now there is no turning back.

One thing’s crystal clear: I’ll get everything I need from him. Then I’ll make sure he regrets ever choosing me. I’ve never lost to anyone, and I won’t start now.

Kasit wired the money right away. At least the bastard keeps his promises. With that settled, I needed to get to the hospital.

“And where do you think you’re going?” he asked as I headed for the door.

“Home, obviously.” I lied. No way I’m telling him about my sister. Someone like him would use her as leverage….she’s my only weakness.

“I never gave you permission to leave… hubby.”

“Who do you think you are that I need permission from?” I yelled.

“Nagging wife already? Cute. But you’re not going anywhere. It’s our wedding night. Couples spend it together.”

This guy is infuriating.

What if I leave and he voids the contract…..demands the money back? I can’t repay that.

“FINE!” I hissed. “BUT I NEED TO MAKE AN IMPORTANT CALL OUTSIDE NOW!”

“Who is it? Why can’t you do it here?”

“Mak a guess.” I shoved him back onto the bed and stormed out.

The only solution was to wire the money to Anna so she could handle things. During our call, she reassured me….the emergency treatment had started. I didn’t need to rush over tonight. I promised to come first thing in the morning.

Now I had to face the jerk again.

He’d already showered and changed into pajamas, lounging on the bed scrolling his phone. He nodded toward a set of clothes he’d laid out for me.

I locked myself in the bathroom for hours. The moment the cold water hit, the tears came. My sister is all I have left… I can’t lose her.

“Are you okay in there?” Kasit’s voice echoed through the door, followed by a soft knock.

“Why? Want to join me?” I shot back sarcastically but got no response from him. I just hate that dude.

I finished quickly, wrapped a white towel around my waist, and stepped to the mirror. Crossing my legs, I slowly applied lotion, letting it glide over my skin. Through the reflection, I caught him watching…..hungry, intense.

A small smile curved my lips. Maybe I can tame this one. Break him completely.

Time for bed. I sauntered over. “I don’t like sharing my bed, dear husband. So why don’t you be a good head of the household and take the floor? Unless…”

“I’ll take the floor,” he said quietly, frowning as he grabbed a pillow and extra sheet. “I’m not that horrible.”

That was… easy, we finally bid each other goodnight.

I found myself in my old home, the family pictures on the wall then I heard mom’s voice, “Narat, go get your father, we need to eat now.”

“Okay mom!”

I opened the door, walking out of my room. Rain was pounding hard outside, water splashing everywhere, I didn't bother to look for my umbrella. I smiled at the neighbours telling them I needed to go out to go get my father.

I exited the building searching for my father. The street was dark, only streetlights glowing yellow on the wet ground, rain hitting my face cold and fast.

“Dad!! Dad!!” I called but got no response. My voice just got lost in the rain noise.

I saw the silhouette of someone familiar, he was standing in the middle of the road… That’s my father. Rain pouring down on him, making his shape dark and still under the light, water running off like he didn’t even feel it.

What is he doing there?

“Dad! Please get off the road….” I screamed on the lungs of my voice seeing an incoming truck moving with speed…. Its big headlights cutting through the rain like bright knives, water flying up from the tires in sheets.

“Dad!” I ran as fast my legs could carry me to save him from getting crushed but I was too late. My feet slipped on the wet road, rain blinding me.

I held his body on my shaking hands covered with blood, the blood warm but mixing quick with cold rain running down my arms, crying out, “Dad, please wake up!”

I remained there then I heard a faint voice calling my name, “Narat!! Narat!!, get off the road..”

I had no idea where the voice was coming from, but my father’s body was gone, then I heard the blaring sounds of a vehicle over the heavy rain. “NARAT!!!” I recognize the voice..Kasit.

Suddenly the light appeared directly to my face, too bright I had to cover my face when I felt a familiar strong arm wrapped around me.
