Chapter sixteen
Turns out Mr. Asshole didn't have any intentions to kill me.
Or so I thought.
When he saw me -more like caught though- about to tell Crystal about the contract, he took -or rather dragged- me to the bathroom on the plane. I expected him to glare and pace about the bathroom, running hands through his hair and whatnot. What I didn't expect was his calm demeanor. I knew he was angry but his type of anger was the calm anger. He rested his back against the bathroom door, his arms were folded across his chest and I saw his tense jaw muscles tick every now and then.
"Sorry!?" I flinched from his tone and he arched an eyebrow at my reaction. "You're sorry? Miss. Greene, if you had mentioned a word about the contract to your silly sister, you could be drag

"Oh my God. Would someone please get the fucking door?" I heard Kate holler to no one in particular from the kitchen. The doorbell rang again and Kate let out a string of profanities that could for sure, make a sailor blush. Another clattering sound of metal connecting to floor tiles resounded from the kitchen as the doorbell alarm system went off again."Fuck," Kate yelled. "Fucking fuck! Can someone please do my ears a fucking favor and murder the fucktard ringing my fucking doorbell like a motherfucking maniac?"Darn, my ears.I chuckled quietly to myself before turning my attention back to my reflection on my mirror. I puckered my lips and coated a moderately thin layer and a quick dash of my favorite cherry lip gloss.

For the second time that day, my jaw met the ground. Metaphorically speaking, of course.I sucked in a deep breath through my nostrils and gaped awestruck at the majestically gorgeous white three-storeyed mansion in front of me.Vast pillars supported the top storeys, making it look like something that would only appear in movies. Tea tables and chairs sat at random spots on the front porch while two grey medium-sized sofas with round throw pillows sat opposite each other facing the neat green lawn.I would have really loved to say that the environment was serene and peaceful but that would have been a big, fat lie.Several expensive cars and jeeps were parked -more like jam-packed though- outside the Greek-castle-like mansion and I could hear soft classical rich-people-type of songs cooing from the interior part of the mansion, telling exactly what I neede

I eyed his palm warily for a few seconds before letting my eyes slide lazily to his face. His facial expression was unreadable, no surprise there though, and his grey eyes were looking pointedly at something else. I crinkled my eyebrows together and tilted my head to the side, following his gaze.Two men in business suits and a woman in an expensive tulle dress stood a few feet away from us. I caught their scrutinizing stares before they quickly averted their eyes. Their faces were somewhat recognizable like I had seen them before. I felt a little cold tingle at the back of my neck at the thought of them watching us..."I think they're watching us," I muttered, voicing out my thoughts and whirling my head back to Mr. Asshole."You think?" he said with a low chuckle. "Miss. Greene, they are watching you."I looked at him, bewildered and my face contorted into something that I was

My eyelids twitched and a deeper frown pulled on my lips. With my peripheral vision, I noticed a figure a few feet beside us; a woman with short jet black hair in a dark blood red dress that literally swept the floor around her. Something looked off about her, and it looked like she was glaring at us. I slowly tilted my head towards her but-"You can't dance and you can't see too?" Mr. Asshole said, pulling my attention back to him. "Beautiful combination, Miss. Greene. Beautiful combination."You're an asshole and you're an asshole too? Beautiful hybrid, Mr. Asshole. Beautiful hybrid.I smiled a little too widely and tried to hold back my sarcasm. "What crawled up your ass now, sir?"His expression didn't falter, to my disappointment. "Your dinosaur heels don't know the difference between linoleum floors and leather shoes.""What?"He let out a

"Ivan Trevelyan, famous Business tycoon; Chief Executive Officer and sole owner of Trevelyan Enterprise Holdings and several other worldwide branches; who holds the record for Most Eligible Bachelor in the whole of America, is getting married today," the news anchor, a middle-aged woman with ginger hair, said. "A little birdie, whose identity is better off anonymous, tipped off his wedding location and here we are, currently outside the-"My thumb that was previously hovering over the mute button of the remote, unconsciously slammed into it, shutting the news anchor up. I gawked stupidly at the flatscreen TV, even though my mind wasn't really into watching the news. A light sigh escaped my lips and I felt the reality of the whole situation weigh me down and make my heart sink into my stomach.That day was the day. The day Isabelle Greene becomes Isabelle Trevelyan. The day Mr. Asshole drops the

I turned the shower knob counterclockwise and the little strings of warm water drizzling from the showerhead ceased to exist. The unsettling feeling in my stomach increased as I padded out of the bathroom with a fluffy just-laundered towel wrapped around my body and a smaller one around my head. I strolled into the hotel suite and shuddered a little at the drastic temperature change even though it was nothing I couldn't handle.Kate was right in the middle of the hotel room when I walked out. Her arms were folded across her chest, her eyebrow was cocked high, and her gaze was unmoving from me. She wasn't there when I went to have a shower is my immediate guess was that she walked in while I was in the bathroom.I eyed her posture suspiciously and gave her a look. "Hey," I said, unsure about why she was standing statuesque in the middle of the room staring lik

The rest of the ceremony went by in a breeze and I didn't actually pay much of my attention to whatever the hell the officiant said throughout the ceremony because I was focused on calming my nerves. The ceremony wasn't that long and soon enough, it was time for the most dreaded part of the wedding (at least it was dreaded for me): The vows."Do you, Ivan Trevelyan, take, Isabelle Kimberly Greene, as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, fit or fat, for the rest of your life?"Silence.I raised my gaze to look at him, his face was taut and expressionless.He looked bored.I felt a flicker of hope in my chest.Please change your mind, please change your mind, please change your mind.The Jamaican officiant cleared his throat awkwardly again. "I said-""Is this really necessary?

(Author's Note: hey. Sorry for the delay. I had to go back to school and my school's like a boarding school, you know? Some students in my school caught covid and it had to be shut down. But the main thing is that I'm back, yay!)*My facial muscles had already started to cramp from smiling too hard at well-wishers and my eardrums were wearied of hearing the same words over and over again:'I wish you both a happy married life with a lot of children.''You should be the couple of the year!''Ah, you look so cute together.'The last one had me choking on air. If only cute could mean me wanting to strangle him.Crystal had become a lot more suspicious after witnessing the whole scene Mr. Asshole and I pulled off
