Chapter 3
Alexis And this is it! My Engagement Party. You better watch out ugly old man! Just a hollow threat. But I am wondering if I will see Zac. Of course, girl. It's your engagement party and he is your fiance! He will surely come. Shut up brain! Hmmm, He should be ready. How dare he insult my beautiful body? Now it's time for my revenge! Suddenly, someone shouted behind me. "You look beautiful, Alexis!" It was Debbie's voice. That loudmouthed girl. I almost fainted! Why does she have to shout so loudly? "You're crazy! I was startled. But I prepared for this, girl. Let's see if Zac Rogen Walker's eyes won't pop out because of my beauty. And I'm sure he will be drooling! Am I sexy?" I asked Debbie with a smile. And she gives me two thumbs up! "The best! More than perfect, girl. I'm sure it's not just Zac's eyes that will pop out, but also his mouth and down below, hehe," Debbie replied teasingly. "Those are bad words, Girl! Wait, do you already have a boyfriend? And it seems like you know this kind of stuff, huh?" I asked doubtfully. There's something fishy about her again. Debbie just laughed. "What's wrong with you? I mean, his briefs will drop when he sees you, girl. And also down there, haha." She answered. Damn, witch! She's very secretive when it comes to relationships. I'll only find out that she's already broken up with her boyfriend, but I don't even know who he is. She wants a private relationship. Let her be! I'll prioritize my problem first. Jeez! I'm getting nervous, why is that? But no, it's Zac who should be nervous. Not me! At the Garden We always hold events like this in our garden. Our garden is spacious, beautiful, and fragrant. There are so many people from high society right now. Most of our visitors are big-time businessmen and women from different companies and corporations. They're all here to witness our Engagement Day, or maybe there's a hidden business agenda? But I don't care about that anymore. I'm looking for Zac. Where is that ugly old man? Suddenly, the emcee appears at the center of the stage. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we will witness the biggest and grandest engagement of all time! Let us all welcome Mr. Zac Rogen Walker and his fiancee Ms. Alexis Jenn Buenavista!" He shouted. Oh no, your grandma will make a grand entrance now! And then I saw a figure emerging, and it's coming towards me... Tall, dark, and wearing a mask? Damn ugly old man! There he goes again with his mysterious mask disguise. Is he so ugly that he can't show his face to everyone? Ugh, I'm so unlucky. Do I need to run away now? But I can't with all these bodyguards surrounding us. And the guns, girls, are just casually slung over their shoulders! This is it! There's no backing out now. But in fairness, the mask looks good on him. He looks handsome. But girl, if we remove the mask... we might faint from his ugliness. What's wrong with you, brain? You're so noisy! Mr. Ugly old man lay his hand, waiting for me to take it. But you know I'm feisty. So let's make him wait for 10 seconds. And a few moments later... I accepted his hand with a sweet smile. But of course, girl, it's a fake one! My face froze when I looked in my Daddy's direction, his eyes were threatening me, saying "Behave!" So girl, let's behave for now and be sweet and smile. He brought me to the dance floor and we started slow dancing. And the ugly old man is getting into holding my body! Damn it! I want to push him away with my flying kick. But that can only happen in my imagination. All I can do is laugh at my situation right now which surprised him. "What's funny?" he softly whispered. And he even asked when it's obvious that I'm not comfortable! "Your face! Why are you wearing a mask? To hide your ugly face?" I'm feisty, but that's his problem. The ugly old man just laughed. "Soon, you'll see me after our wedding," he whispered again. As if I will get goosebumps from his whispers. Never, ugly old man! "But wait, don't tell me you'll still be wearing a mask at our wedding?" I asked, annoyed. It's like our wedding is going to be a comedy. Damn! "Yes baby, it'll be a surprise when we're on our honeymoon," he replied. Yucks! What surprise is he saying? I might faint and never wake up when I see his ugly face. "I don't care and I'm not interested in seeing your ugly face!" I retorted. But he just tightened his grip on my sexy waist! Ugh! Not only is he ugly, He's also a pervert. Damn annoying ugly old man. He thinks I'd get goosebumps from him. Just ew! "Your hands, Mr. Walker. They are choking my waist." I gave him a stern look. But I couldn't see his facial expression. However, his smirk was just insane. But don't try to fool me, old man, I know you're ugly, and I've known that for a long time! "Ah, your sexy waist you mean? But, you're so fat." And he even laughed. Fat!? You can insult everything else, but not my beautiful body. My nose is fuming with rage and my hair is standing on each end. "Fat? What about your long neck? You look just like a giraffe, Mr. Walker." I pinched his neck, leaving a mark. And I'm not yet satisfied! I stepped on his foot with my expensive high heels. The ugly old man seemed unfazed! Doesn't it hurt? He does not react at all. He's getting on my nerves. But never! I will not give him the satisfaction of being happy. "Your ugly thick-skinned face is so tough and hard, huh!" Sorry for the insult, but I'm not sorry at all. He deserves it. The ugly fool just laughed. "Yes, it's getting hard, so don't provoke me, baby!" His voice is teasing me. He's a pervert. Damn it! My eyes look down but I quickly shift my gaze. "You're not just ugly, you're also rude!" I said. Thankfully, the music ended. I left the ugly pervert on the dance floor. I chose to sit in the corner and eat silently. The food is very delicious. So fuckkin tired of facing those people with a fake smile. Socializing sucks! I wonder where Debbie is? While eating, I could feel a presence behind me. Someone was very close to my neck! I could sense his warm breath. And who the hell is it? I turned around angrily, and our heads collided. Ouch! That hurts. It will leave a bump later. And speaking of the damn devil, it's Zac Rogen Walker, who's just smiling at me. I looked at the features of his face. He looks handsome even with a mask. But he can't fool me. He's an old, ugly man. I won't trade my young and handsome Bebe Rond for him. I look in his eyes... They're gray eyes? I think I've seen them before. Erased with those thoughts. It's impossible that he is my knight in shining armor. My knight is handsome, and this Mr. Ugly is ugly! "You again? What are you doing here?" I asked gruffly, getting annoyed. "Looking for you, baby," this ugly man said in a flirty tone. No matter how sweet his voice is, it still does not affect me. He is ugly! "Can't you see I'm eating?" I asked irritably. "Yeah, eating can wait, but our visitors can't!" He grabbed my plate and set it aside. Then, he dragged me back to the party. Damn it! This ugly man is something, holding my hand as if he owns me. "Can you release my hand?" I asked, trying to pull my hand away, but he was holding me tightly. "Nope, we need to show them that we are very much in love with each other," he replied. What did he just say? I want to vomit. Yucks! "In your dreams, Mr. Walker. Let go of my hand!" I replied rudely. "I'm sorry, but I won't let you go, baby," he said in a seductive voice. What's wrong with this guy? He is so flirty! I'm getting more annoyed with him. "No matter how hard you try to be cute, you're still ugly. So let me go, I can walk alone," I said, but then he grabbed my waist! He's more annoying! We're hugging right now. How sweet, damn it! That's how my annoying day ended, socializing with people and this disgusting ugly old man who did nothing but flirt with me all night! What a bullshit day.Chapter 42AlexisI was lost in thought as Zac and I rode to the reception. Couldn't believe he'd proposed! I wanted to scream with excitement, but I restrained myself, not wanting to seem too eager. Though, honestly, I was thrilled. My inner voice chimed in, "Girl, you really do want him!" I mentally told myself to calm down."Are you tired?" Zac asked, concern etched on his face. "A little," I replied, trying to play it cool. Pretending fatigue wasn't my forte."Come here," Zac said, pulling me close to his chest. I leaned into him, feeling a bit breathless. My inner voice warned me to breathe, fearing I'd pass out. "Girl, breathe! You'll die for sure!" I mentally cautioned myself, worried Zac might think I'd lost my mind.I closed my eyes, but I still wasn't comfortable – his armpit is still the coziest spot! "Zac, can I face you?" I asked softly. "Don't you want to sleep?" he replied, sounding puzzled. "I like it, but... how do I say this?" I trailed off, feeling a bi
Chapter 41Third Person POVThis was it - the wedding day Debbie had been waiting for. She looked stunning in her gown and makeup, but beneath the surface, she was questioning her readiness to become a Mafia Queen. It wasn't just a joke; the recent shootout still haunted her, and she knew she'd never forget it. Now, she was about to enter a new chapter of her life, one where violence and danger were a way of life - Hector's world. What choice did she have? She loved him more than anything, and the thought of living without him was unbearable. She was willing to face whatever came her way, no matter the cost.In a few minutes, she'd become the Mafia Queen of Spain - a title that came with immense responsibility. But she'd do it all for Hector. She'd face any challenge, endure any hardship, as long as she had him by her side. For her beloved, she'd do whatever it took."A penny for your thoughts?" Alexis asked with a smile, noticing Debbie's distant gaze. Debbie jumped, her min
Chapter 40AlexisIf that devil woman's part of the Mafia, she'd probably get even more arrogant. She's so cocky, I hate her!Finally, I'm dressed, and I look stunning. That witch can't even compare to my beauty – not even my ass. Ugh, she thinks she's pretty, but she's actually ugly. This woman's ruining my day. Calm down, Alexis – it's your best friend's wedding photoshoot. Let Annalise think she's got the upper hand for now. Then, surprise her with one strike.Brain, you're right! I'm stunning and sexy in this golden dress – yes, you heard that right, girls! I'm not sure why Debbie chose this theme, but the gold accents are sparkling, and it looks luxurious. My feet still hurt, especially in these high heels – they're like glass slippers, but golden yellow. I should just wear a yellow bra and panties to match – perfect!The photoshoot has started, and Debbie looks stunning – her eyes are sparkling, and she's radiating happiness. Note to girls: her wedding gown has subtle go
Chapter 39AlexisI woke up to find Zac wasn't beside me. Where's that infuriating man now? His mood shifted so suddenly - he didn't even ask for an explanation, just assumed I'm still in love with my ex? What even is that? So frustrating! When I went downstairs, everyone was ready to go. "What's the plan for today?" I asked, confused. "Girl, didn't Zac tell you we have a wedding photoshoot today?" Debbie asked, surprised. "No, he didn't. Where is he, anyway?" I asked, still annoyed."He's already headed to the venue. I can sense something's off, besh. What happened? You guys were so sweet yesterday, and now it seems like you're fighting?" Debbie asked, curiosity getting the better of her. "I don't know, that guy's clueless!" I said, storming out of the gate ahead of her. I didn't feel like eating, and I definitely didn't want to tag along.It hurt that he didn't even wake me up. Why did it hurt so much? Was I... falling for him? Ugh, shut up, brain! Not now.Why did we have
Chapter 38AlexisI fell asleep in Zac's arms, and to make matters worse, I drooled all over him. How embarrassing. When I opened my eyes, the plane is empty! Where did everyone go? And Zac is still sleeping? I quickly wiped away my drool, relieved that he didn't see it. I touched his face, lightly slapping his handsome features. "Zac, wake up!" I said. But he just groaned and pulled me back into a hug.What's wrong with me? My face is burning, and my whole body too! Gosh, don't tempt me, Zac! I tried to pull away, but his grip on me was tight. Where are the staff? There's no single person around. It's just the two of us.Where are Debbie and Lara? My friends left me behind, of course – they're probably with their boyfriends. Hey, shut up, brain! Stop it!I patted Zac's face again. Should I tap him harder? Maybe that'll wake him up. But why is it so unfair? He looks so handsome even when he's sleeping! He doesn't even drool. I'm the ugly one, huhu. "Zac, hey! Wake up. T
Chapter 37AlexisIt feels like just yesterday when my family flew to Italy. It was just last week, but I'm already missing them so much. Grandpa often calls and video calls, and so do Mommy and Daddy. The only thing is, I'm not used to Mommy's new look – fierce but she still looks stunning! And Daddy, being the tough Tiger he is, has clearly been whipped by Mom, the Lion – haha!And this time, we're the ones flying to Spain. Yes, it's Debbie's wedding! They seem to be in a hurry. All of Hector's family will be there, and you know he's a Mafia King. Here we go again with the Mafia thing. My best friend Debbie will be a Mafia Queen now, and apparently, she's really into it. She loves Hector so much that she's willing to take the risk, mafia or not. I'm really impressed with my best friend, and I'm happy for her – I hope this happy ending lasts. Hector is accepted by Debbie's family because she's their only child, and a spoiled brat, just like me.We're both a bit dramatic and
