Ares
A woman slammed into my chest as I was about to walk outside. What is this woman doing just outside my door doing? "Are you okay?" I inquired calmly. She was taken aback when she looked up at me. I was caught off guard when I realized who this woman was.It's her! It's been 8 years, I didn't expect that we'll meet again. I think destiny made us meet again…
"Excuse me, you are?" I asked her. I need to double-check that I'm thinking correctly. I know it's her, yet a part of me still wonders if it's actually her. She has changed so much that I don't recognize her anymore…
"Kianna... Kianna Myst Saavedra," she answered.
It's her indeed! It's like we are destined to meet. It's been a long time since the last time I saw her. She's still very pretty but she looks a little off?
"You-"
She abruptly covered my mouth, which caught me off guard. "Please!" she exclaimed, "You'll tell me later, but can you tell me where your restroom is first?"
I couldn't take my gaze away from her. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with her. I hadn't quite finished thinking when she abruptly changed her expression and appeared to be holding something back. She quickly vomited on the floor, covering her mouth. She made matters worse by laying down on the floor. What a fortunate circumstance. Why do we need to meet again in this way?
"Don't sleep on the vomit!" I screamed. What the fuck is she doing?!
I tried to wake her up, but she was sound asleep. She's snoring after only a minute. She had fallen asleep so quickly. When I lifted her up, I noticed the scent of wine on her. Her vomit odor was more overpowering. It turns out that alcohol has a very different effect on her body. I was fortunate enough to be the one who met her. What if she runs into someone she doesn't know? It's still dangerous at this moment because there are so many maniacs around.
"You're still a pain in the neck...How come she's so drunk?" I whispered.
I never imagined we'd meet again after eight years in such dire circumstances. But what happened to you all these years?
"How could you treat me like this?... Please, don't leave me..." She murmured while sleeping.
Turns out she lost her love. Poor little Kia. What if I didn't leave the country? What if I stay? Will I end up with her? ...Kianna Myst Saavedra, I will never let you go this time! I will let you experience how true love works!-
Kia regained her consciousness the next morning. She had no choice but to open her eyes because the sun was already shining on her face. She first let her eyes adjust because what she could see was too hazy. She was just staring at the ceiling when a twinge in her sinuses appeared.
Umm? Shit! I'm experiencing some vertigo…
She slowly got out of bed. Her eyes were drawn to a stunning room. The items that the wealthy appear to own will attract her attention. She just realized she wasn't in her room after that.
This room was filled with the light of morning. The sun was shining on my face when I awoke. I stepped to the window and massaged my bleary eyes. There was a pearly glimmer in the sky. I can tell, it was a lovely and bright morning. Clouds moved over the sky, white and fluffy.
Where am I?
After a night of heavy drinking…
She was taken aback when she remembered the man from last night. She couldn't help but scream at first, trying to figure out what had happened while she was unconscious.
"You are awake."
Kia quickly hid under the blanket and turned to face the source of the voice. His hair was wet, and water was still flowing from it on the floor. Fresh from the bathroom, huh! Kia said in her mind.
The bravery of this man, who stepped out only wearing a towel wrapped around him. He has a lovely figure, but he can't take me that way!
Kia screamed angrily, "You wretch! What have you done to me?" It didn't seem to notice her and even approached her. "Stay back!" Kia exclaimed.
Kia shivered and hid in the blanket, much to her horror. Ares couldn't help but be intrigued by Kia's odd behavior.
"Take it easy, we just did-uhm," Ares said gently.
Kia's eyes widened even more when she heard him stuttering, "We what?! My clothes have been... been... Anyways, I'm calling the cops to have you arrested! You're a rascal! Dirty dog!" Kia exclaimed angrily.
Ares let out a deep sigh. When he helped Kia, he didn't expect her to react so negatively. "I was drunk last night and you broke into my room and vomited, which is why... If you don't believe me, we can examine the hotel surveillance. It must shoot extremely clearly, so you can be clear on your thoughts..." Ares raged.
Ares said something that surprised Kia and left her dumbfounded. She wasn't sure if she'd believe it or feel ashamed of what she'd done earlier.
"However, I was wrong to make my own decision; I apologize... I am not a jerk who takes advantage of others; I will be accountable for you," Ares added.
Ares' remarks stunned Kia. He had no idea what he was talking about.
"So..." Ares smiled. "Let's get married!
Marriage is not a joke! It is hard work that demands a total commitment from both people to work. Why did this guy suddenly ask me to get married?
Kia was taken aback and asked Ares, "What are you talking about?... You want to marry me?"
Ares soon became sweaty when Kia asked the question. "I am man enough to be responsible and make her feel protected." He thought to himself.
Ares inquired anxiously, "Mhmm... Will you marry me?"
Kia was surprised and asked Ares, "Are you serious? You want to marry me?" Ares felt nervous when Kia posed the question. He thought to himself, "I'm mature enough to take responsibility and make her feel safe." Anxiously, Ares inquired, "Um... Will you marry me?" Will she agree? She's lucky to have me as her husband. Look at me. Could I still not meet her expectations? Ares thought. Kia was caught off guard by the question. She couldn't believe that Ares was talking about marriage so casually. Why doesn't he seem to understand the seriousness of it? Marriage isn't a joke... Anyway, we can always get a divorce after we're married, right? ... Wait, what am I thinking? Kia, snap out of it! Are you blind? He looks like he comes from a wealthy background. We should steer clear of wealthy people; they only bring us pain. Kia thought to herself. "Oh, no," Kia exclaimed, "never mind. Can you help me find a dress? I really need to go!" Ares couldn't believe that Kia had rejected him. "W
ARES Kianna Myst Saavedra, I'm betting that you won't be sad to see me leave after our two-year arrangement! *Phone ringing* I reached into my pocket to answer my phone. [What's up, boss? Are you coming to work today? "Get all the bidding projects for the company that treated me last night finished. I'm planning to take them over within a week." [You can trust me, boss. I'll make sure it gets done.] "Alright, have someone bring a complete women's outfit to my hotel room, the one I stayed in last night. Also, buy me a house in Laguna, not too big, just enough for an average office worker's expenses, and then transfer my belongings there after cleaning." [Seriously, boss? Are you out of your mind? You want to live in Laguna, and you want an apartment that looks like it's meant for office workers. "Do you want to look for another job? There's a vacancy in the cleaning department..." [...Boss, I promise! I'll get started right away!] *Call ended* … KIA After waiting for 15 mi
"I'm sorry for the delay," Ares apologized. "Did you wait long? I didn't even notice you..." Kia wondered. "It's windy outside, and I don't want you to catch a cold. Come on, let's go inside," Ares suggested. Kia was left speechless, simply gazing at Ares. Why didn't I find him this attractive this morning... I didn't expect him to be this handsome... Wait, why am I blushing?! Kia pondered silently. Ares approached her slowly, and when he was close enough, he gently took hold of her waist, pulling her closer. "Honey, promise me you won't leave my side. Mhm?... Let's... get married!" he softly uttered, sending shivers down Kia's spine. So, this is the marriage certificate. I can't believe I got married like this... It feels like a dream... Kia thought as she held the paper certifying her and Ares' marriage. Ares parked his car in front of a modest house. He quickly got out and helped Kia out. "I'm sorry it took so long... The traffic was terrible earlier. Let's go home," Ares sa
Kia woke up slowly, the sound around her feeling strangely familiar. Hmmm... What's that noise? When she opened her eyes, she realized she was in a small room. How did I end up here? I was in the car before I fell asleep... Still a bit groggy, she rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up in bed. "Is this Ares' house?" she wondered. "Oh, you're awake? I'm sorry if my typing noise disturbed you. I'm just finishing up a report for work. And yes, this is my home. Once I'm done, we can go out for dinner," Ares smiled as he continued typing. "Um... You can wake me up, actually. It seems like it's already evening. I must have been asleep for a while. I'm sorry for making you wait," Kia scratched her head in embarrassment. How long was I out? I didn't expect to sleep this much. It's embarrassing, especially since Ares had to carry me into the house. "I didn't wake you up because I figured you might be tired from all the packing earlier, and you brought quite a bit of stuff," Ares explained, fla
KIA "Oh, you're here! Ah, ah—" When someone spoke from behind her, Kia turned her head abruptly, almost slipping. She shut her eyes, bracing for impact, but Ares caught her by the waist. "Are you okay?" Ares asked, concern in his voice. Kia was too shaken to respond at first. Ares gently released his hold on her waist and helped her regain her balance. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize the floor was wet. Don't worry, I'll clean it up." "Ahh, I'll just be more careful next time. Thanks." Why does he have to make it so dramatic when he catches me? It's like something out of a soap opera with a bossy President. You're being ridiculous, Kianna Myst Saavedra! I've been replaying that moment in my head for what feels like hours. Am I losing my mind? I've tried to sleep, but fatigue seems to have abandoned me completely. Despite the comfortable bed in Ares' room, sleep eludes me. Maybe I won't be able to sleep if I keep ruminating on things like this. "Sh*t! I have class in the morning! What
"What did you just say, Kianna? You're calling me a mad dog?!" Vera's anger was almost palpable, and a few classmates stepped in to restrain her. "Wow! I didn't expect the 'mad dog' to react so quickly. How amusing!" Kia grinned, her expression as if she had just encountered an adorable kitten. Clearly irritated, Vera picked up her tumbler as if to throw it at Kia. "You!" Classmates rushed to her side, trying to prevent her from doing anything rash. "Calm down, Vera! Ma'am Ramos is on her way, and if you do that, you might get into trouble." Vera reluctantly released her grip on the tumbler and took a deep breath. She sat down in her chair, seething, and muttered, "Fine! Stop touching me! Let's see if the previous professors don't reprimand you for being late..." She said this in a low voice. "What are you talking about? Don't expect me to be scolded because I talked to our teachers and requested a leave of absence due to my unexpected marriage," Kia explained, defending herself.
The hotel room was bathed in the gentle morning light, with the sun's rays warming their faces as they woke up. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, greeted by a serene and sunny morning. Fluffy white clouds floated across the sky. "You know, I've spent a lot on Kia, but she won't even let me touch her hand. Not once. She's so reserved," Vincent remarked. He turned to Asteria and continued, "You, on the other hand, are much more accommodating, even allowing me to be intimate in my office." "You know me well, honey. Does that mean I'm the only one you're involved with?" Asteria asked, her curiosity piqued. Vincent was taken aback by the question. He hadn't expected Asteria to inquire about this. "Right, Vincent?" Asteria pressed, repeating her question. "Yeah, honey, you're the only one," he replied, although it wasn't entirely truthful. "In that case, I have something to ask you," she said. There was a moment of silence, during which Vincent tried to mask his nervousness with a smile.
"Kianna, I finally found you! You didn't answer my calls or texts, so I had to come here. Tell me the truth, are you married? I'm your boyfriend, your fiancé! You can't treat me like this!" He looked upset and tried to approach Kianna, but the guards stopped him. "Shut up!" Kianna shouted angrily, silencing the crowd. "Kia, what's wrong with you?" he asked nervously, wondering why Kianna was acting so arrogantly. "Don't tell me... she knows about Asteria and me. No, that's impossible! I've been keeping it a secret from her!" Vincent thought to himself. "Don't call me that! You disgust me! I blame myself for not realizing what kind of person you are," Kia said, feeling repulsed by her ex-fiancé. "You can't treat me like this! We've been together for five years! I can't believe you'd be so heartless and marry someone else soon!" he stammered, struggling to maintain eye contact with Kia. Kianna was furious. She never expected to see the person she had loved for years behave like thi
