Josiah
Everyone was shocked the moment Eunice walked out.
I smirked to myself. It seems like she’s not a goody-two shoes like every other elite girl is. She’s spoiled, well, that’s a given if your family owns a huge pharmaceutical group of companies.
“I’m sorry,” Mrs. Lee stood up and tried to follow her daughter.
Mom was already trying to console Mr. Lee who seemed sad and disappointed.
Huh? Well, they should have thought about their daughter’s reaction first before agreeing to this.
I shot a glare to my father and already saw him looking at me.
“Josiah, this is needed by the company,” his voice was not pleading, instead, it sounded like a presidential order.
I clenched my jaw and glared at him even more. How can he talk to me like that? How can he talk like that after the daughter of his business partner has already given her answer?
I stood up with
EuniceMom went inside my room the next morning. No one bothered me the whole night and I liked it. I actually wished daytime would never come because I don’t want to be reminded of the nightmare that dinner caused me.“Eunice, let’s talk,” she said as I was still wrapped around my blankets.I don’t want to talk. I can’t do what they want me to do. I can’t do it. Why do they want me to do it?I wasn’t a rebel child.I was an obedient daughter, as a matter of fact.So why are they doing this to me?“Eunice…” Mom’s voice was soft. I know she’s trying to comfort me right now. She stroke my shoulder and I sighed, defeated.“Mom…” I said in a raspy voice. “I don’t want to get married.”I would definitely reconsider if the man’s not that arrogant. But he’s not. He’s the most arr
JosiahI see her sighing from her table. But I can also see her clenching her fists like she wants to fight someone right at this moment.“What, dude? You already in love with your fiancée?” Sage teased as he caught me staring at Eunice.I glared at him.I’m still angry. I’m still loathing the fact that Mom has successfully blackmailed me to marry this woman. I’m still hating the fact that she’s got her way to piss me off again.“What’s wrong with Hannah?” I asked, out of the blue, out of topic.Stan raised his brow at me. “Why are you asking?”“Because I want to know why you hate her,” I replied as I plopped myself on the stool.I want to know why every person in my life hates the woman that I love. It’s not like she’s unlikable. To be fair, she is so caring and thoughtful. She’d always think of me first. Tha
EuniceWhat. The. Hell.The last faint of hope I had has gone directly down the drain the moment he uttered those words to me.How could he agree to that?Why would he agree to that?I’ve already killed Josiah Kim a million times in my head since the day he told me that he’s also given in on what our parents want. I thought he might have the decency to decline. I thought he would rebel on his parents since he looks like someone who doesn’t want anyone directing his life.I thought he would retaliate.But he didn’t.I thought wrong.It’s been a week since the pragmatic marriage plans started and I am starting to lose faith in humanity.Mrs. Kim was giggling with Mom on the couch in the living room as I walked down the stairs. In front of them are numerous magazines with beautiful places and gowns.Dad and Mr. Kim are on the veranda and talking about something re
Josiah“Are you okay?”Hannah asked me as we ate in our favorite restaurant. It is our anniversary and she wanted us to be together for the whole day. Good thing, most of the day is free cut for me.I looked at her and smiled, assuring. “Yeah, I’m good.”I put more of the pasta on her plate and also put in some pizza. I stare at her face and she’s looking at me like she’s confused as to why I am being like this to her.“Jos,” she called as she breathed heavily.I smiled at her, silently praying that I would be able to shrug off anything that she will throw at me today.I haven’t told her about the merger. Hell, I don’t know if I could. How do I even tell her that I am getting married to someone that’s not her? I can’t. I don’t want her to get hurt.“Are you really okay?” she asked. “We can cancel, you know&hell
EuniceFuck!I was literally cursing in my head as I watched that arrogant Josiah disappear from the cafeteria.I glared at everyone that was on my way and started strutting back to our table.Mitch and Nanette looked at me weirdly while Mona was just staring.“What’s with you and your future husband?” Nanette just couldn’t help her mouth from speaking.I shot her a glare and she just shrugged. I am still mad. I am still so frustrated that I had to marry an arrogant guy instead of something decent.And now, Mom wants me to pick up my wedding dress with him. I couldn’t even hide the disappointment and anger on my face earlier when she told me that.“He’s handsome,” Mitch thought aloud.The three of us looked at her with questioning expressions. She blinked at all of us.“Come on, be real. He’s handsome. He’s probably one of the most
Josiah“Didn’t you say you’re going to accompany your fiancée?” Sage asked as I arrived at the HQ.I nodded and sat on the couch.Eunice said she can handle it and she’d send me a text once she’s almost done so I could fetch her. I don’t want to argue with her on that one.Somehow, I am relieved. At least she’s not clingy. It’s good that she doesn’t care because I don’t care about what she does in her life, too.“She’ll just text if she’s done,” I replied.Bradley looked at me meaningfully. “So, you finally exchanged numbers?” he wriggled his brows. “Give me her number, bro!”I rolled my eyes as Bradley, Sage and Charles are already in front of me, pleading for Eunice’s contact.“I don’t have her number.”They all glared at me.“You said she will se
Eunice“What are you doing here in our territory?” Mitch asked as we met MiZa.We all stood up right in front of four women wearing black masks and black fitted overalls. I could cringe at their costume. As a matter of fact, Nanette is already snorting at them.“What are you laughing at, Dipper?” M asked as she gritted her teeth.We have faced this same gang before but I still don’t understand why their codenames are literally the letters of their gang name. Or was it the other way around?Nanette shook her head. “You all look like a downgrade of Catwoman,” she replied that made all the members of MiZa to scowl at her.Z was already about to throw her a knife if not for Mona throwing a stone on Z’s wrist making her drop the weapon.Mitch cursed. “Are you seriously armed?” she asked in disbelief.A laughed. “Are you seriously dumb?” she aske
Josiah“Please shut your girl up,” Sage whispered to me when Hannah was bawling her eyes out on the movie that we’re watching.I glared at him. “Could you blame her? We’re watching a drama, moron!” I hissed.Sage rolled her eyes at me. “Is that even normal?” he muttered to himself and continued watching the movie.This was a free cut for all of us so we decided to spend it here at my place because Hannah is supposed to come. I don’t want her to come to our HQ because I don’t want the boys to get mad at me.The rest of us are already sleeping on this boring movie. Sage was busy glaring at Hannah who bawling her eyes out at this sad father-daughter scene.I wrapped my arm around Hannah’s shoulders and pulled her closer to me. “Stop crying,” I whispered. I am trying to stop her for real because Sage looks like he’s about to turn the fucking TV o
