I STILL can't get out of my head the plan Andrea told me about Zandy. I get what he means but I don't know which guy to introduce Zandy to. Just last night, I was thinking about who I could introduce him to but I don't know who. I don't know anyone who is able to like that man."Didn't you ask Zandy what happened to him and Roven?" Andrea asked me while we were eating outside the office. I just finished the article I'm working on and it's time for lunch.I'm thankful because when I woke up in the morning, Zandy wasn't there to tease me. We are married but because of our setup, I feel like I am still single and I prefer this way.I frowned and seriously looked up at Andrea. Why didn't I ask Zandy about him and Roven? I thought so too. "No," I said directly. "I don't want to try asking him about Roven either," I reasoned. "I don't have to worry about that anymore.""I'm just curious about what happened after you broke up with Roven, I mean after Roven disappeared without saying goodbye.
This morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Maybe it's because my body wants to get up to prepare for work earlier.I face the mirror. I frowned when I saw my reflection. My hair is messy as if it has been tweaked. I took the comb in front of the mirror and started combing my messy hair. I was still wincing because of the slight pain in my scalp because I was pulling it.After I cleaned myself up, I left the room still in my pajamas with my hair in a ponytail on the top of my head. When I got out, I was just as surprised when I found Zandy there while talking to Mom and Dad."What are you doing here so early?" I ask seriously."Sit here first, Miles," Dad told me."I just woke up, it's embarrassing for your guest, I haven't showered yet," I said sarcastically."You stay here first, one more thing, Zandy won't hate you just because you're not yet showered," Mom said with a laugh.I just snorted and was simply exhausted, then headed to the space in front of Zandy. I turned to him for a
"SERIOUSLY, Miles, are you going to live with Zandy in the same house that his family gave as a gift to your wedding?" Andrea asked me in surprise when I told her what dad told us before I went to work.We are currently going out of the building to eat lunch outside which has become our routine so we can at least get out of that room where all we see is work.Sad and frustrated, I nodded at her. "I don't know what to do, Andrea, I don't want to live with that Zandy under the same roof. We won't get along either. I'm ok with this setup, we're only married on paper and will continue to live in our own lives. Didn't they just want to get rid of the curse on me, so they forced me to get married?"Andrea smiled. "As if, is there anything else you can do, Miles. First of all, you agree to the marriage they want and that means you agree to what they want. I also think that it wasn't just because of the curse that they married you to Zandy, it seems like there's a hidden agenda behind your w
"SEE? We're both stuck in the situation so don't act like you're the only victim, Miles. I don't like this marriage either but because it's the better choice, I chose it."I frowned because of what Zandy said. What does he mean that marrying me is a good choice? I shook my head. "No, Zandy, you have a choice but I don't understand why you don't refuse to marry me," I insisted.Zandy closed his eyes for a moment. "I don't want to argue with you this time," he said. I felt the car turn to the right.I simply smirk because I was annoyed with Zandy. I don't understand this gay man. Why can't I understand his mental process? I couldn't get his point in what he was saying because I knew he had a choice not to marry me before. I folded my arms and didn't say a word anymore because I just looked stupid in front of him.Zandy's car continued to drive until it stopped. I saw him get out of the car. I didn't move while the annoyance with him was still on my face. Later, the door next to me opene
"HEY! Are you ok? You've been that quiet for a while? Ever since you came back from that place with Zandy, you've been enchanted. What happened?"I blinked and slowly faced Andrea. I haven't said anything yet because I can't get out of my mind what Zandy did to me in that house where we were supposed to live. I couldn't understand myself but I was nervous and my knees went weak when I felt his face close to mine. I thought I was going to pass out again and I hope it just happened.flashback..."Don't challenge me, Miles, because I can do what you think I can't." I couldn't make out the joke in his voice. "I can kiss you if I want to, Miles. I'm not who you think I am. You don't know me yet."I gulped when I saw Zandy's smooth face up close. I couldn't move and I didn't have the strength to push him. I was now locked in his arms as I leaned against the hard wall."N-don't try, Zandy," I told him nervously."Why are you nervous, Miles? Are you affected?" he challenged with a grin."W-wh
I COULD barely sleep last night thinking about what might happen when Zandy and I moved out of the house. I'm just thinking about what's going to happen, I'm sure both of our heads will hurt because I know we won't get along. We will have a hard time getting along with each other. I don't even know if I can live with him even for a day.I snorted and sobbed when I finished telling Andrea about my conversation with my Mom and Aunt Mandy about Zandy and me moving out. "I didn't do anything, Andrea, if I didn't agree to what they wanted. I hate him. I don't want to live with him in the same house because every time I see the man—gay or whatever he is, I just remember what he did and Roven to me," I complained while I couldn't paint my face.We are currently outside the building where we work to eat. It's lunchtime and Andrea and I are at a restaurant. I haven't been able to move my food because of the irritation I feel. I still can't get out of my mind what could happen when Zandy and I
"HONEY, I'm here."I feel suddenly warm even though I can feel the cold night air. How dare he call me Honey in front of my coworkers. Is he crazy?I wasn't going to pay attention to Zandy and was just going to act like I didn't hear anything when Melissa suddenly screamed while Shai and Chad were asking who that man was.I closed my eyes tightly and slowly, facing Zandy. What a look, still smiling! What else did he think of to call me Honey?"OMG! Miles, is he your husband?" Melissa asked as if seeing an artist as her cheeks were flushed and her face was full of excitement. She turned to me and slapped my arm."Aw! Melissa, it hurts," I complained and moved my arm away from her. "Shocked? Surprised? You want him, then he's now yours." I joked."So, is it true he's your husband?" Shai asked to confirm.I turned to Andrea who was also laughing. I also briefly looked at Zandy who was standing in front of his car. I looked back at my coworkers and slowly nodded. "Yes, he's my husband. Is
WE CHOSE to eat at a nearby restaurant, where a band was playing on stage. There were many people in the place and it was open, which is why I could feel the cold air blowing on my body."Are you sure, Zandy, that this place is okay with you? You're rich and you don't belong in this place," Andrea asked Zandy again when we sat down at the empty table.Zandy smiled and bowed for a moment. "Don't treat me like a rich man tonight. Besides, I also want to experience this simple life. Just think that we're on the same ground," said Zandy seriously.I was silent as I was simply stunned by what Zandy was saying which was hard to believe. Why is it that if he acts on someone close to me, it seems that he is kind and did nothing to me? I'm disgusted and angry at his pretending to be so kind to them."Hang on, Chad, order food and drinks so we can start the party," Melissa ordered Chad, who was sitting next to her. Zandy and I are next to each other while Andrea and Shai are opposite."Are you o
