Chapter 5 - I Could be Bought?

last update Last Updated: 2022-07-01 14:34:43

Around two weeks after our first date, something changed. We had just finished having lunch, and Damian was paying the bill, when suddenly Rai talked to me or at least tried to talk to me at first, awkwardly. He wasn’t the calm, collected Rai that I’d known for the last two weeks. He was even more awkward than when he had asked me to choose his belt at the Hermes store.

“Ummm.. Kat?” He asked.

“Yes, Rai?” I looked at him.

“Umm..” He looked so awkward that I thought something was wrong with him.

“Are you okay, Rai? Do you need something? Do you want me to call the waiter?” I asked, worrying about him.

“No, it’s not that. I just.. Can I have your phone number?” He gave me his phone, and I could see that he was blushing.

He looked so adorable, being awkward and blushing just to ask for my number that I couldn’t stop the enormous grin that appeared on my face.

“Of course, Rai. But now that you have my number, I expect you to call me daily.” I told him as I put my number on his phone, teasing him a bit.

I expected him to blush, but he suddenly looked at me and smiled. Not the soft smile he usually wore, but a broad smile, and oh my goodness, he was gorgeous. All I could remember was that I couldn’t breathe. Just seeing him smile made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Damian then returned and sat down, shattering the moment I had with rai.

“Kat, would you like to accompany us to the party?” Damian asked.

I couldn’t believe my ears, so I just gawked at him. Damian, being Damian, just laughed at my reaction. I tried hard to compose myself.

“I don't have a dress, and I don't think I will look good going with you guys,” I stated.

I then saw Damian and Rai share a secret smile, and then Damian pulled me up from my seat.

“Don’t worry, Kat. You will be perfect after we give you a makeover.” Damian said, holding my hand and pulling me along with him.

Huh?! Perfect? Makeover? What was he talking about? But before I could think about it further, Damian and Rai dragged me along to all the different boutiques until they found a dress that they thought would suit me.

When we were in the Gucci boutique, they chose an elegant, stunning long gold/black dress and asked me to change. I was so embarrassed, knowing that I could never measure up to them. But I tried the dress anyway, hoping that maybe when they saw that I didn’t look good, I wouldn’t have to accompany them.

After changing, I looked at myself in the mirror. This was the first time I’d ever worn a dress like this. The top black part only covered both my breasts. It had such a plunging neckline that it nearly reached my belly button. And there was nothing at the back, only thin strings to hold the front part. The bottom gold part of the dress, the skirt, started from my waist, flowing down to the floor. The dress was revealing, but it was more elegant than sexy. I still felt kind of exposed, though, but then I went out shyly for them to see.

Damian whistled (maybe that was his way of saying that I looked good) and grinned at me. Rai just looked at me, frowned, and walked away. I was disappointed Rai didn't tell me that I looked good and that he would just walk away; he even frowned. Just as I was thinking all that, he came back with a pair of dangling gold earrings. He asked me to wear them, and then he smiled once I’d put on his chosen earrings.

“You look perfect, Princess.” He said in his deep, silky voice while tucking my hair behind my ear.

Princess? No one had ever called me ‘princess’ before, but as a girly girl who still believed in fairy tales, him calling me ‘princess’ made my heart flutter. Gosh, Rai would be the death of me. And as per usual, I blushed like crazy.

Damian said if I go to the party with them, it’d be like having two bodyguards with me. I thought to myself that if they were only my bodyguards, I would need to say goodbye to my prince charming. Since who could be more perfect than these two?

Just as I was about to say no to accompanying them, Rai had made his way to the cashier to pay for everything that I was wearing. Yeah, they were that rich and high-spenders. I was pretty shocked that Rai would really pay for everything that I wore. How rich were these guys to spend their money like they were Monopoly’s money?

“Rai, no. Please let me pay.” I insisted while making my way to the cashier, still wearing the dress that I tried on.

“It’s alright, Princess. We are the ones who asked you to come to the party. Let me pay for you. Furthermore, I’ve already paid, and I don’t think they accept refunds so that you can pay for them again.” He said while flashing me that broad smile of his.

My mind went blank as I looked at him smiling. His smile made me forget that Gucci did have a return policy.

“Just let him pay, Kat. He has wanted to lavish on a girl for so long. It’ll make him happy if you just let him.” Damian suddenly said.

Letting Rai pay for my stuff would make him happy? Did they think I could be bought? My heart grew heavy at that thought.

“Don’t worry, Kat. It’s not what you think.” I heard Damian say quickly. He must have noticed my expression.

“How would you know what I think?” I snapped at him, irritated by my own thought.

“What I meant was he wants to buy you gifts. You know, like when a boyfriend buys things for his girlfriend.” Damian tried to explain to make me feel better.

I just went back to the changing room to change. I love spending time with them, but if they thought that I could be bought, then they’d gotten the wrong girl. And that they were not gentlemen at all. Those thoughts saddened me.

When I went out after changing, Damian and Rai came to me. I looked at them, and I was sure that my disappointment in them was clearly visible for them to see.

“Kat, I’m sorry if my words upset you. It really is not what you think.” Damian said quickly.

“Princess, I’m so sorry for Damian’s words. He just meant that I want to buy you things to make you happy. I never buy things for a girl before, so buying you things and seeing you happy because of it will make me happy too.” Rai tried to explain to me at the same time.

“So, you don’t think that I’m just some girl who can be bought?” I asked Rai, my voice small. I wouldn't say I liked it if men thought I was a gold digger. I would rather not have any luxurious items rather than have men buying them for me and thinking that I just wanted their money.

Rai looked at me, apparently shocked by my words.

“Princess, I would never think of you in that way. I just want to buy you gifts. Do you think I’m that kind of man, though? One who would ‘buy’ a girl?” Now it was Rai’s turn to look disappointed.

“I’m sorry, Rai. I didn’t mean to imply that you are that type of guy. Or even you, Damian. I just don’t want you guys to think of me that way.” I told both of them while looking down at the floor. I don’t want them to think of me badly.

“Never, Princess. Never.” Rai touched my chin, tilted my head to look at him, and then tucked my hair behind my ear.

“Yes, Kat. Never. Sorry again, Kat. Are we okay now?” I could hear Damian say.

I looked at both of them, scrutinizing them to see if they were being honest. They did look scared that I would think of them as not gentlemen, and they seemed afraid I would get angry or disappointed in them. There were no other emotions etched in their beautiful and handsome faces other than fear and hope. God, with them looking at me like that, how could I stay mad at them?

“Yeah. We are okay now, Damian. I’m sorry.” I said as I turned my head to look at him and smiled.

“Well, that was quite intense. Look at us. Two weeks into knowing each other, and we already have our first fight.” Damian laughed. I couldn’t help blushing at my silliness but managed to laugh with him.

Time flew fast when I was with them. I really enjoyed going out with them. It was very different than going out with my soon-to-be ex-husband or even any other Indonesian man that I knew. I wished I could go out with them every day.

  • My Always, My Forever   Chapter 225 - My Always, My Forever

    Damian and I were lounging on our bed as per usual before we went to sleep. He was reading on his tablet while I was browsing through the internet.I heard his heavy sigh, saw him put his tablet on the bedside table, and he suddenly pulled me toward him abruptly, holding me tight in his arms.“What happened?” I asked him. It felt like he was afraid of losing me, that I would leave him.“I just finished reading your journal,” he mumbled against the top of my head.Ohhh.. That’s why.I pulled back from his tight embrace so I could see his expression.“Why are you sad?” I asked him.“I was such a dick to you, wasn't I?” he asked with a self-deprecating smile on his face.“You were.” I nodded and pretended to agree with him. “And still are sometimes.” I laughed.“But you are my dick,” I added with a teasing smile. I saw his self-deprecating smile turn into a smile of amusement.“I can't believe I put you through so many troubles.” He pulled me back into his embrace and sighed.“It’s all

    I walked into our bedroom and saw Damian walking out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped lowly around his hips, looking as sexy as ever.I had just finished putting on little Luna to sleep and was tired. I quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower, exiting with only a tiny towel covering my petite body.“Baby girl, come here,” I heard Damian’s voice and turned to look at him.I had to swallow hard, looking at the vision in front of me. My handsome and sexy husband was sitting at the edge of the bed, butt-naked, and he was stroking his huge cock that had hardened. I swore I began to get wet just by looking at him being so hot.I went stand in front of him, and he yanked my towel away from my body, leaving me as naked as him.He pulled me forcefully to him, and I sat on his lap, straddling him. He kissed me long and hard without warning, leaving me panting when he withdrew.“You’ve been taking care of the kids. Now it's time for you to take care of your husband,” he husked ou

  • My Always, My Forever   Chapter 223 - One Happy Family

    “You are home, Baby girl,” Damian said as he glanced at me. It had been three months since our wedding reception, and I was quite busy most days. I had to manage the Castilles Hotel, my clothing business, and also the sanatorium I had built with Damian to help people who needed free psychological consultations.I had that idea when I had been kidnapped and found Luna, the girl who had accompanied me, had died. At first, I wanted to build an orphanage for abandoned children, but as there were too many of them, Damian suggested we build a sanatorium instead to help those who had traumas like us. With helps from his friends and connections, we now had more than twenty psychologists and psychiatrists to help us.Today was a tiring day after visiting the sanatorium. The patients always loved to talk to me, and I gladly accompanied them until it was time for me to return home to my family.When I reached home today, I found Damian in the nursery holding our little girl, as he always did.“

  • My Always, My Forever   Chapter 222 - Magical Wedding Reception

    I was standing in front of the massive double door, waiting for it to be opened. Today was our second wedding reception.Yesterday was our first; the guests were families and close friends. Damian didn't follow the conventional wedding reception where we walked together down the hall toward the stage. Instead, we all stood on the stage with mist covering us from the guests. When the fog disappeared, I was surprised. The ballroom was turned into what looked like a huge ice kingdom. I should’ve known from the color of my gown and his suit - silver and white. My gown was of A-line shape yesterday, and I had a high crown on my head. I felt like a queen of the ice kingdom. The ladies of our main families wore lighter shades of silver, including Rai’s mom, Cecilia, my mom, my sister-in-law, and even little Luna. The men wore suits in the same lighter shades of silver too. We stood on the stage with Damian holding little Luna in his arms while I held little Rai’s hand.My mom, Rai’s parents

    It had been there months after our wedding, and we were having breakfast together. Little Rai was still asleep, and we didn't wake him up since it was the weekend.I was sipping my tea, and Damian was sipping his coffee. Life after marriage was blissful. We had no more fights, and every day was filled with happiness, love, and laughter.“Damian, I have a gift for you,” I told him as I placed my teacup on the table.“Is it inside the box on your lap?” he asked with a smile.I had brought the surprise for him and placed it on my lap throughout our breakfast. Now that we had finished eating, it was time for me to give it to him.I picked up the box and slid it across the table to him.He opened it and looked confused as he picked up the long and thin thing inside the box. “Positive..” he murmured. I kept quiet and had to stop myself from smiling or laughing.His head suddenly snapped up, and he looked at me. “Positive?” His confused looked turned into bewilderment.“Yes.” I couldn't hid
