Chapter 4
Alexis I'm not happy with this wedding. It's such a hassle. The engagement party just ended, and now there's a bridal shower? Crazy! I'm supposed to be as excited and happy as the bride, but I'm bitter! And now, we're on our way to the Paradise Hotel which is owned by Zac. Where our Bridal shower and Stag party take place. And trailing behind our car are numerous bodyguards. No escape for me! Plus, Daddy even drove me here himself. At the Hotel Wow, the Paradise Hotel is amazingly huge and beautiful! This ugly old man is wealthy. My bridal shower will be held in one of the grand ballrooms here. As I entered, my friends surprised me, and our group was complete now because Joanna and Lara were already here. Our two crazy loudmouthed friends! "Girl, you're getting married and you didn't even tell us. We had to see it on the news!" Joanna said, hugging me. "Yeah, you looked beautiful at the engagement party!" Lara added. This one's as loud as Debbie! "I've always been beautiful, girls. But it's a disaster that my beauty will be wasted on Mr. Ugly old man!" I replied, annoyed. The girls burst out laughing! "Don't judge the mask by its cover, Alexis. Who knows, maybe Mr. Ugly is handsome underneath, and he'll make your panties drop, hehe." Debbie is always joking around. She's something else! "Where's the handsome part? Have you read the blind items online? Mr. Ugly is always the subject, and he's really ugly," I replied, getting annoyed. "Let's not be negative, girl. Let's go and start your bridal shower, I'm excited to see some abs. Ayii!" Ew! Lara is disgusting. The three of them are excited, they're also kinda pervy. Ugh, how can I escape this wedding? You're trapped, girl. Goodbye freedom, Goodbye Bebe Rond. Here we go again, stupid brain! The girls squealed loudly when the three cowboy dancers came out. They had huge bodies, like sumo wrestlers, but thankfully, they had nice abs. But for me? I couldn't care less about those abs. No spark, no thrill. I was bored! And I will escape... I managed to slip out of the ballroom hall without them noticing. They are so busy ogling the abs. Where am I headed, girl? Hmmm, Let's continue walking. Along the way, I saw a furious-looking gay. "You idiot! What now? Who's going to dance at the Stag Party? Why did your dancer have to be absent now?" The veins on his neck were almost popping out from shouting. Stag Party? That rings a bell. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Let's go to the party! "Hello, mamang! What's your problem?" I asked him. "Why do you care?" he replied. This ugly gay is rude. But let's be patient to succeed. "Maybe I can help," I said in a suspenseful tone. Then he looked at me from up and down... "Perfect! You're the one, girl. Let's go," he said, dragging me away to who-knows-where. And I was right! I'm now at Zac's Stag Party, dressed as a cowgirl. Good thing I requested a mask. It's more exciting this way. Let's surprise him, hehe. Get ready, Zac, haha. Don't you want to reveal your face? Well, I'll unmask you, bwahaha. Just laughing like a demon lol. It's revenge time, Mr. Ugly old man! But, how can I dance in front of so many people? I'm a bit nervous. This outfit is sexy. It fits my beautiful and sexy body. But that ugly guy said that I'm fat! Let's see now, Mr. Ugly old man if your briefs don't fall off. We've entered the ballroom hall where the party is happening. And where am I supposed to dance? Don't tell me it's just here. Oh no! It's embarrassing, girl. Good thing I'm wearing a mask. We were immediately pulled by a man in formal attire. He said that the party is about to start and we need to get ready. But I couldn't see Zac. Where is he? I asked the man about him. He's still in the secret room, resting. Good thing the man is stupid. And he told me where the secret room is! The two cowgirls started dancing while I ran towards the secret room. I had to hurry, girls, or they might call me to dance and it would ruin my plan. Found you! The secret room had a painting of the Mona Lisa. I press Mona Lisa's nose, and the door on the side automatically opens. Yay, I'm so clever, girl! In fairness, the secret room is huge. Where are you, ugly old man? I walk quietly to surprise him. But I'm the one who was surprised! He's sitting there without a shirt, and still wearing a mask! I didn't mind those abs of his. My mission is to reveal his ugly face. But girl, his 8-pack abs are distracting! Good thing his beautiful body makes up for his ugly face. I took out my cell phone and chose a song to play. And I slowly danced towards him. Zac turned around, and the crazy guy didn't even look surprised! What's wrong with him? My sexy body is already amazing, but he's completely ignoring me, damn him! But it's okay. I'm not giving up, girl. I approached him. This is it, Alexis, find your timing. Pull his mask! Oh brain, calm down. You're even more excited than I am. Zac is just staring at me. Whatever, I'll just keep on dancing. And here I go, I'm close to him now. I'm going to pull his mask! But his hands are quick. He grabbed me and gently pushed me away. Good thing the ugly old man is gentle. "Stop that! Ms. Buenavista. I know it's you," he said seriously. "You're annoying! You should have told me earlier, so I wouldn't have looked like a fool dancing here!" I replied angrily. But the ugly guy just laughed. "You're always funny. But let's talk about something serious." He was really serious. I sat down in the chair across from him. "Okay, what is it, Mr. Walker? You're being serious," I asked in a serious tone. Oh, yeah! I'm also making a serious face. "Let's talk about our marriage. I know you already have a boyfriend," he started the serious conversation. "Good thing you know. Let's be real, I don't want to marry you." There, I said it, girl. He just chuckled, and it was somehow cute. But I'm still bothered by his abs. Why doesn't he want to put on a shirt? "Wait... Can we be formal with our clothes too? Can you please put on a shirt?" I interrupted him. And then he burst out laughing. Ugly old man! He left for a moment and when he came back, he was wearing a casual t-shirt. At least that's better. Not that macho dancer image. "Is it okay?" He asks. "Yeah, It's okay. Now, sit down and let's talk again." I answer. And he sits down in front of me. "Here, kindly read this and if you agree, please sign," he said. Hmmm, I smell something fishy! What is this ugly old man planning right now? I read it carefully and slowly. Of course, I need to understand what's in it. I might get taken advantage of by this ugly guy. It's a marriage contract between us. And everything is in favor of me, except for one thing. I'm a bit bothered by this. "Sex is not allowed with ANY other men except with me!" This ugly guy is a pervert! "Sex is all you want? Why me? There are plenty of women out there!" I'm getting irritated. What? Is he going to make me his sex toy? At least if he is incredibly handsome, but no, he's ugly! "I'm a careful and disciplined man. I don't just pick up anyone to sleep with. And we're talking about my heir, my successor," he explained. This ugly guy is choosy? Nobody would even consider him! I'm annoyed. "So you want me to bear your child, right? To give you an heir?" He's amusing! "Yes, exactly. That's why you can only have sex with me. I don't want dirty women who sleep around with just anyone," he said with a disgusted expression on his face. Even though I couldn't see his face clearly because of the mask, I could sense his disgust! What does he think of me? A loose woman? He's always making me angry! "Hey ugly, I'm still a virgin! I'm pure, you idiot!" And he just laughed. I want to choke him! "Then, that's great! I didn't make a mistake in choosing you. So, is it a deal?" he asked. Is it a deal? I can do whatever I want. Even my relationship with Bebe Rond is okay with this ugly old man. Except for this sex thing! Just close your eyes, Alexis, so you won't see his ugly face when you have sex, haha. Shut up, brain! And you're even laughing in this situation. "Wait... Let me think about it for five minutes," I'll think about it again, girl, in case we make a mistake. "Okay, sure, would you like some juice?" The crazy guy even offered. "Yes, if you have it, I'd like apple juice, thanks." Look at how nice I am. After I drink my apple juice, I decided to agree and signed the contract. I mean, I won't lose anything anyway. Whether I like it or not, we're getting married. So, why make things harder for myself? It's like I'm dealing with the ugly devil. I might as well enjoy this instead of going crazy and still not being able to escape. What will my future be like, huh? I can already see it. Maybe the ugly old man will have ten kids with me! Oh no, my sexy body will be ruined!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.

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
