Chapter Two: VIP ID
>> Daphne Romero"What are you talking about, Mom?!" Daphne shouted.Her mother started coming to the condo unit where she was staying."You're getting married two weeks from now.""What? Are you insane? Are you drunk? What are you talking about?""Daphne, I'm deadly serious here!"Her mother handed her a brown envelope. There was a marriage contract paper, it stated when and who she would marry. It was signed by Tristan Fuentevalle and Danilo Romero, the name of his Father.She shook her head. She could not believe that her Father would agree to this type of marriage. A kind of marriage contract? With the person she didn't know? She thought that maybe this is not real, maybe her Mother just wants to manipulate her."This is totally insane, I will not agree to this. You can leave now, Ma."She pushed her Mom out of the apartment where she was staying. She's living with her own since her Mom remarried just one year after her Dad died. She is angry with her so she doesn't want to be with her under the same roof anymore."Daphne! If you don't agree the whole company will go to them! Even the Hope Foundation!" her mother shouted.She stopped for a moment and let go of her Mom. She frowned at her and seemed to register what she said."What the heck? Mom! Papa worked hard on it and then it will just disappear if I don't agree?""That's your Father's want. That's also part of your Father's will, Daphne. You see, I don't care if you're mad at me. All I want is for your Father's hard work not to be lost. I don't want the memories to be erased him to the company, to the foundation, to the places where we were once happy."Her mother was right. Even she would not allow that to happen. But why did she end up in such a set up out of so many ways? Why does she have to marry someone she doesn't even know?"Go for now, I'll think about it first," she said and closed the door completely.She leaned against her door and sat there slowly. She's now looking at the papers on her desk. Little by little she felt tears in his eyes."Why do I need to suffer like this? I thought you love me, Papa! But why all of the sudden this is what you want to happen?" she said in his mind.Five years ago, her father passed away due to a heart attack. Everything happened suddenly. No one knows about his health condition because he is always okay, cheerful and does not show signs of illness.She's a Papa's girl that's why she was very affected by his loss. She almost dropped to school. She doesn't want to talk to anyone. She definitely forgot how to live a normal and happy life.After a year, she still not moving on when suddenly her mom is getting married so fast. As if she didn't think that his Papa had been gone for a year. It's like she no longer respects her father, and it looks like her mother really didn't love him.There she became even more angry. She ran away. She moved into a condo. Her sister Diane is okay with what's their mother's decision that's why she also got angry about it. Well, she and her brother are not really close because she is the opposite of everyone else.Diane, is a brat. Sheʼs always in the club, happy go lucky, and never been serious of what life is actually is. His Papa had a headache, so he never agreed to it. She didn't want to see her Dad stressed before, but it's not that easy because of her sister who is prone to trouble.Daphne found herself on top of the bed holding the marriage contract paper tightly. It was almost wrinkled but she didn't notice it because her emotion was more overwhelming. She literally cried while reminiscing the past.When her tears stopped, she threw the marriage contract in the trash. She took his car keys and went to the cemetery to visit his Papa's grave. There she continued to cry.She kept asking why. Why did her father agree? Why was she brought to this set up? Has she been a bad daughter? She still remembered what he always said before. "I know what's the best for you, for your future." But what? What happened?The best for her, huh? She is a successful Doctor. Living alone, and she's happy with that! But now this contract marriage came, as if her father knows that this marriage is gonna be okay.After all, there was nothing she could do. She didn't want to disappoint her Papa. And most importantly, she doesn't want all his hard work to go to waste and nothing.She immediately called her friend, Izzy."Where are you, Zy?" that's what she asked right away.> "At home, getting ready for the party tonight. Remember? I told you that Joe invited me for a drink. I invited you a while ago, but you said you're--" <"I will go.""Wait— what?!"She quickly ended the call, because she didn't want to hear her question after another. She was used to not wasting time. She's used to prioritizing work, or rest over wandering, entertaining or having fun, but this night is different.This is the only night she will let herself be free. She'll let her experience what's in the bar that her friend Izzy always goes to. This night is gonna be wild and free, before she gets married.She went home. She gets ready. And after an hour, she's now wearing a red bodycon dress and a pair of comfortable heels. It made her feel more confident and comfortable even though she just wore it.Actually this dress is a gift from her sister, Diane. Knowing that she doesn't really wear that kind of dress, she still gave it to her just to tease her on her birthday last year. While her hair is in half up ponytails.She's now overall looking gorgeous!When she heard the horn of a car, she immediately jumped. She greeted Izzy with a smile, she even circled in front of her car. Izzy got out of her car as if in disbelief."No... Shut up! Is that you, Daph?!""Yeah, I guess?" then Daphne cried.Izzy was thrilled and hurriedly hugged her friend."You're so beautiful, Bitch! Did I already say that, eh! Your body is really hiding something charming!""I know right, Zy! So let's gooooo!""Alright!!!"When they arrived at the bar, smoke, loud music, and different colored lights greeted Daphne at the entrance. She was holding Izzy's hand when someone tapped her shoulder. When she looked at it, Izzy also let go of her."Excuse me, what is your last name?" asked a tall man, he had a big build and as he suspected he was one of the bouncers that was written on his clothes."Uh, Romero, why?""Here," it held out a VIP ID. "All your drinks are free as long as you wear this VIP ID."Her face immediately brightened."Really?!""Yes."Looks like my lucky night!She energetically entered the bar and looked for Izzy. She saw that Izzy was also looking for her, so she immediately approached her."Zy! I have this!" at the same time she showed wearing a VIP ID."Where the heck are you came from? I thought you were gone. What is that?" she asked with a frown, looking at the VIP ID."It's a VIP ID. The bouncer gave it to me. According to him, as long as I wear this VIP ID all our drinks are free!""Omg! Is that true?! Maybe they're just pranking you! It's your first time coming here, so why are they giving you a VIP ID? Oh, ah! Maybe it's a scam!"Daphne raised her left eyebrow."Hey! Who are you there?!""Don Zulueta?"Filled with laughter between the two of them. Before Izzy realized that Joe was in front of them. She secretly tapping Daphneʼs butt to tell her to stop laughing."Daphne, this is Joe, you met in the parking lot of the hospital before, and this is Marky, his friends."For some unknown reason, the two in front of them seemed anxious. His eyes are constantly wandering around as if she is looking for something and is afraid of it. Daphne also noticed that and that's why she also looked around."Why do you seem nervous?" Daphne asked uncontrollably."Huh?" Joe asked in shock. "N-Not at all, ah."Daphne noticed that he was looking at the VIP ID she was wearing."You guys are regular customers here right? So is this true?" he held up a VIP ID."Y-Yes," Joe answered.He and Izzy looked at each other again and were thrilled to be close to each other."Ah, I'm just going to the comfort room. I'll be back," Joe said goodbye."A-Me too," Marky also said.They just let the two leave because now they couldn't believe that this night was strange. But thirty minutes later the two men did not return."I'm getting impatient, Zy. Should we order our drinks? Besides, it looks like those two won't be coming back. It looks like Joe has run after you.""That asshole. How dare he run away from me?! But that's okay! We have this!" and it raises the VIP ID. "Our drinks are still free! Let's go! Go! Go!"They happily went to the counter and ordered drinks there. At that time, Daphne somehow lost her mind about marriage. She also mentioned it to her friend Izzy and as sympathy they added more alcohol.They become more wild to the point that they're both dancing at the dance floor. Daphne was almost beside herself. Until she no longer realized where her friend was.She returned to the counter again carrying the sandals she took off. She asked for one more glass of tequila. When it was handed to her, she smiled and drank it without hesitation.A minute ago. She felt heat in his body. She was getting hot so she looked around while fanning himself. A while ago she felt cold because the bar had air conditioning, but now she felt like she was on fire. Her eyes tried to find her friend, but her vision was getting blurry.She felt hot, especially down there.She walked around and looked for the comfort room. Even though she was felt weakening, she was still able to stand up properly. She seemed to have forgotten that this was her first time drinking heavily. Her father always reminds her to drink responsibly. But sheʼs going crazy to the problem she was facing now and luckily the alcohol they were going to drink was free.When she saw the sign to the comfort room, she pointed that way. But she didn't expect to slip up. Immediately, she plunged into a man's wide chest.Daphne suddenly felt what looked like electricity on her skin when their skins met. She immediately looked at it, and that time she saw a man. He was looking at her seriously and in those moments she knew there was something different about that man.And even though the different colors of the light are mixed, she can saw the manʼs dark chocolate eyes that seemed to speak, to its piercing nose down to its red lips.She was mesmerized."Are you all right?" the man asked her like, he cared a lot to her.Instead of answering it, she immediately swallowed. The heat she felt in his body grew stronger. She couldn't understand what was happening to her, she felt like she needed to get away."Miss? Are you alright?"As she watched the man's lips, she completely lost her senses and pressed him with a deep kiss. This is her first kiss! And she doesn't know how she learned to kiss. All she knew was that she went along when the man returned her kiss. Until he wrapped his hands around her waist.This time she definitely knows to herself that she wants more.Chapter Three: One Lustful NightThe man quickly picked her up in bridal style while the two of them continued to kiss. She didn't even bother if anyone was looking at them. All she wanted at that time was for the heat to escape from her body.Daphne only found herself in a large room when she felt him lay her down on the large bed. This time she could clearly see how excited the man was for her. And she didn't know why she was happy with what dhe was seeing.He kissed her again. Down to her neck, at that time she knew that she's literally wet down there. She is also making a delicate sound because of the pleasure she feels. As the man's kiss went down, she remembered about the wedding.She will marry someone she doesn't love. She thought that it would be better if something happened to them with this man, before she was taken by the man who was only reconciled to her. Little by little, her mind came to an agreement.While they were both sharing a warm kiss, she slowly unbuttoned the
Chapter Four: After A NightThe next day, Daphne woke up because her leg was hurting. She slowly moved until she felt a thigh resting on her. Because of the shock, she immediately covered her mouth.She carefully removed the leg from her thigh and then looked around.She felt a little headache. Even though she was shock– what happened last night slowly dawned on him. The whole hot night they shared with a strange man.She looked at the man beside her. She saw a handsome man fast asleep. Before she could fantasize about the man again, she quickly stood up and picked up her scattered blankets. She quickly dressed and left the room.When she got out, she only found out that they were in the bar's VIP room.She immediately called a taxi, even though the part of her flower was tingling. From the mirror of the taxi, she could clearly see how miserable she looked. She sighed and then closed her eyes as she calmed herself down."Calm down, Daphne, it's just a one night stand, nothing more tha
Chapter Five: Run Away BrideDaphne looked at herself in the mirror. She's now wearing a sky blue shirt and jeans. No make up and just like a normal night to her. She wouldn't dress up just for a dinner she didn't want to go to, but she had no choice. Fortunately, her Head Doctor allowed her to take leave for at least two days.She also wears her eye glasses. If in the hospital she often wears contact lenses, now she doesn't want to. She thinks that the man who is going to marry her might turn off her and he himself will withdraw from the marriage, that would be more favorable to her.She got into her own car and then went to the restaurant that her Mother told her. That restaurant is exclusively that's why when she got here she didn't wonder why the guard seemed surprised by her outfit. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with her appearance, her outfit just doesn't really fit the place.She didn't go straight to the table that her mom told her to. She went to the restroom first to calm
Chapter Six: Unexpected KissBefore Daphne could get into the car, her Mom hurriedly followed. She was seething with anger because of the rudeness shown by her eldest daughter. She wants this marriage to be successfully done without any problems, but it seems that her daughter will not get along."What scandal is this, Daphne?!" her Mother asked annoyed, then pulled hed arm.Daphne quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks and bravely faced her Mother."What? I'm not causing a scandal. Why don't you ask your other child? Just her dressed— scandalous!""Diane is always like that! What's wrong with you?!""Yes, she always like that, because you didn't teach her how to wear in a professional way! Oh, shock! Did you see her lips? Did you see the lipstick on her lips and the lipstick on the man's shirt I'll marry?! Well, me, yes, I saw it! And I saw them, kissing near at the girls restroom!"Her mother slapped her hard. She felt the pain and numbness of her cheek. At that time she knew that
Chapter Seven: Threatening"Storm, are you sure Diane Romero was really with me that night?" Treyton asked his bodyguard, Storm.The bodyguard thought for a moment. He did not expect his boss's sudden interest in what he had been with the night they went to the Enchanted Bar. Most of the time, he only delivers the woman he shared the bed with and at the same time gives a large amount of money in exchange for not showing it anymore.He didn't care why his boss always have women in bed, because for him that was normal for a rich man. Storm shook his head secretly and looked at the papers on her boss's desk. There is the information he gathered about the Romero brothers."Y—Yes, I asked her that night. And also based on the information I gathered, Ms. Daphne does not like to go to that kind of places, she is too conservative and workaholic." Storm responded.Treyton looked at the papers on the table again. He couldn't understand why nothing seemed to be new every time he saw Diane, but h
Chapter Eight: Mysterious AttitudeOnly three days later Daphne was busy again visiting her patients. Fortunately, Doctor Cabrera did not spread the word about her upcoming marriage. After finishing her work, she received an unexpected call from her head Doctor."Hello, Doctor Romero. I don't know what you've done, but Director Casteñola wants to see you now."When she answered the phone call she did not know what the reason was. When Treyton's face registered in her mind, her hands got cold. She arranged herself nervously. And then forced to be normal. She left the Doctor's quarters with a smile on her face. She is ready to greet the people she meets with a fake smile.When she reached the Head Director's office, she did not hesitate to knock three times before speaking."Head Director?""Come in." when Daphne opened the door, the Head Director immediately looked up at her. "Oh, Doctor Romero! It's a good thing you don't have an emergency with your patients, and you allowed me to see
Chapter Nine: Hidden Agenda"It's good that you came here."Daphne looked at the woman who had just arrived. It's her Mom. As usual, she is still with her new husband."Just make up for what I did in the past.""You should, Daphne, because you're getting married in just a few days. And maybe you also want to get back at your sister? For lying just to get out of here?"Daphne smirked. "Until now, for you I'm still lying? Why didn't you ask her?""Do you think I didn't ask her?" her Mama replied annoyed but only in a low tone of voice."Oh, you asked here but of course she denied it, it's probably the ending that I'm the liar. Where is she now? I'm gonna talking to her myself.""S-She's not here, because she's busy with their upcoming exam."Daphne didn't say anything and just took a glass of wine from the waiter. She quickly put it down and hurried out of the mansion. She was sure that the mansion had a garden and she wanted to be alone, because she felt like she will going crazy if sh
Chapter Ten: Awakened BeastThe wedding went ahead that same day. Even against her heart and principles Daphne couldn't do anything. There is also a mansion ready for them. But Treyton just let her stay where she wanted to stay. That's why she stays in the guest room.Daphne can't sleep well every night because every night Treyton brings different women at home and noisily shares their body heat. She always lack of sleep when she comes to the hospital, she can't sleep because of their noise as if she is listening to their grunts and moans.Today she thought of not going out because she felt bad. She won't wonder why because besides staying up late, she's also tired from work. Here she got to know the maid who were with them better and Manang Sonya was one of them.Manang Sonya gives her whatever she needs. She also acted as her personal maid because she didn't want anyone else to enter her room. She is currently in the garden and breathing in the breeze. She noticed Treyton's car just
