CHAPTER 2

He said, " 'He's my husband'?" I burst out laughing. Laughing, I walked towards him, then crossed my arms in front of him.

"Are you kidding me, mister? Hahaha, so funny! Sorry, but I'm leaving, goodbye!" I said, shaking my head in amusement. Gosh! I flicked my hair and rolled my eyes at him. Whatever, I'm leaving! I was about to turn away when he grabbed my hand, stopping me.

"I'm not joking, Anaya. I'm really your husband," he said coldly. This time, I looked at him. Our eyes met, and there I realized they were the same. He was the man I dragged in! My husband!

"Oh my God! It's you!" I exclaimed, pulling my hand away from his grasp.

"But how did you change your appearance? Suddenly, you look rich. Earlier, you looked like a beggar!" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Tsk, here."

He stood up, set down his glass of wine, and picked up an envelope from the side table; he walked towards me. I looked at him with furrowed brows, then he handed me the folder he was holding. I took it.

"What's this?" I asked, frowning and looking at the folder in my hand with a questioning look.

"Open it to find out," he simply replied, returning to his seat and picking up his glass of wine again, taking a direct gulp. I pouted.

"Is this a divorce paper?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I opened the folder, but he just stared at me coldly.

"Just open it," he said irritably.

Oh, humph! Why are you annoyed? I'm just asking!

"Let me handle our divorce papers, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience," I said softly, but he only responded with a raised eyebrow and a furrowed brow.

"I didn't ask you to do it. I'm fine being your husband," he said seriously, causing goosebumps to rise on my skin. Gosh, what is he saying!

I didn't say anything and focused my attention on the folder in my hand; I opened it slowly.

And a marriage certificate and my birth certificate appeared.

"What? Why do you have my birth certificate?" I asked in surprise.

"Because I used it to make our marriage valid, and you will forever be my wife." He said seriously, and he didn't seem to be joking. I gaped at his statement.

"What?! Why did you do that? It will make it even harder for us to get a divorce!" I said, biting my lip, but he just chuckled a little.

He's handsome when he laughs!

"Divorce? That will never happen, Anaya." He said and left the room. I stared blankly, watching the closing door.

"Is he crazy?" I scratched my head and looked at the papers in my hand.

I know our marriage is valid, but I have no intention of registering that marriage so I can easily leave him.

It seems to have backfired. It looks like I'm the one who got married on the side.

I just held my forehead and lay back on the bed because I was still confused about everything that happened.

I remained lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, when I realized I had nothing here, and besides, I still have work tomorrow, and I don't want to get fired. It's a good thing it's Sunday, my rest day.

I got up and left the room. I was amazed because when I went out, a wide hallway appeared before me, and I guess there are four rooms.

I just walked until I reached the stairs. I didn't see many people, so I continued walking. As soon as I went down, I saw a maid. Based on her attire, I approached her, and she easily saw me. She smiled at me and bowed her head.

"Good evening, Lady Anaya. Is there anything you need?" she said to me. I was surprised because she knew my name. Then, she called me "Lady" before my first name. Am I a white lady?

"Hello, good evening, too." I awkwardly smiled at her.

"Did you see the man who went down earlier?" I asked her. I didn't know him. I also didn't look at his name on the marriage certificate he gave me because I was worried that I didn't have any belongings here. I'll read it later and see what else is in that envelope.

"Ah, Young Master Kael, Lady Anaya? He's in the living room. Come, I'll accompany you." I just nodded and smiled at her. I followed her as she started walking.

While walking, I looked at the whole house. I'm still in shock because the man I thought I just picked up from the street is actually a billionaire.

"Young Master Kael, Lady Anaya is looking for you." Kael, that's the man's name. It sounds so cute, but his aura seems scary.

I saw Kael sitting on a sofa, drinking tea, and facing a laptop on his lap.

"What do you want, Anaya?" He addressed me coldly again. He's been cold since earlier! Should I warm him up? I'm annoyed! What?

"Don't 'what what' me?" I retorted irritably, so he looked at me seriously.

"I'm going home first. I need to get my things because I didn't bring anything." I told him.

"No need, Anaya. I have money, so I'll buy all your needs," he casually said.

I was about to speak, but more than ten people entered. They were carrying paper bags; I didn't know what was inside.

"That's all your needs, Anaya," he said coldly, looking at his staff as they put down their things. I remained gaping.

"Bags, accessories, clothes, anything you want." I looked at him again.

"What's this all about?" I could only utter. What's this man's plan? At least he already knows me, but I don't know him. What the fudgeee?

"Take this." He said to me and gave me a black card, and I'm not stupid enough not to know that it contains money.

"From now on, you'll handle the management here in the mansion, especially the salaries of the maids and gardeners, except for all the security guards because I handle them," he said at length.

"And we'll share the same room," he said with a smile.

"What, why? There are many rooms, I'll just stay there," I objected.

"You are my wife, and I'm your husband, so we should share the same room." I gaped again at what he said.

"Wait, I'm confused. I'm very sorry that you were forced to marry me, but I promise I'll find a way to nullify it," I said to him. I thought he would say something else, but he just signaled his staff to take the things they bought to the room.

"Anaya, I don't have a plan to divorce you. After all, I was very lucky that day, so there's no divorce between us, Anaya," he said seriously, so I was just left gaping.

"I have to go," he said again and stood up from the sofa.

"Where are you going?" I immediately asked.

"I have something important to do. Don't worry, I'm not a cheater," he said with a smile.

"I didn't ask, you're so thick-faced," I said, raising an eyebrow, then walking back to the room where I was earlier.

When I got inside the room, I saw all the paper bags with their contents, and it's obvious that they're all expensive.

"Wow, so rich!" I grimaced and looked at the folder he first gave me. I saw a small box, and when I opened it, it was a ring with a small diamond in the middle.

Instead of wearing it, I made it a pendant for my necklace so it wouldn't be obvious that I'm married.

I also looked at the marriage certificate he gave me. The first thing I saw was my name.
