Chapter 5
Alexis The contract between the two of us has already been signed. So, I want to celebrate. But not now, don't get too excited. I'm stunning in my sexy, beautiful gown! And everyone's waiting for my husband-to-be. I wonder where that ugly man is now. He's always late and so full of himself. And speaking of the devil, here comes the ugly man... He is coming towards us. And take note, he's still wearing that mask! I don't care, as long as I get my freedom, even if he never takes off that mask forever, I couldn't care less. Our photoshoot has started, and my jaw is already aching from smiling so much. That's because you're so plastic, girl! Stop it, brain! This ugly man, can't stop staring at my beautiful and sexy body, ah. Even with his mask on, we look like a couple deeply in love in the pictures. Just as the photoshoot was about to finish, Bebe Rond suddenly arrived! "Talk to him in private, not here. Go somewhere else," Zac whispered softly to me. But at least he's okay with it. I quickly got dressed and pulled Bebe Rond towards the parking lot. We're going somewhere else, to a private place... You have a dirty mind! I'm not allowed to have sex, and Bebe Rond will become my kept man. Oh, life. "Bebe, did you miss me?" I asked lovingly. But he looks troubled! "What's wrong? What happened?" I asked again. "We'll talk later, let's go," and he pulled me into his car. Hmm, this is the first time I've seen him being serious. We parked at a beach, and the view was stunning. It was very relaxing to look at, and the smell of the sea was refreshing. Suddenly, Bebe kissed me! But this is different - it is wild and aggressive. My God, I was out of breath after our kissing scene. "What's wrong Bebe?! You should have warned me if you were going to kiss me! Your kiss was so intense. Is something wrong?" I asked, panting. And his facial expression changed! He looked like a monster, ready to devour me at any moment. "Of course, there is! Are you really going to marry that old man? You seem to be enjoying his embrace," he shouted, scowling. Wow, I'm touched. Bebe is jealous! "I'm sorry, Bebe, but there's no other choice.Don't worry, Zac is okay with our relationship. He agreed to give me freedom. We can see each other anytime, just in private." "Even so! You'll still get married, and I will become your kept man. This is so unfair!" He exclaimed, still furious. Let's soothe Bebe so he won't be angry. "Don't you love me, Bebe? I don't want us to be apart," I said, embracing him. "I love you, Bebe. You are my life. And I don't want that ugly old man to take you away from me." He also hugged me back. "He can't take me away from you. This is the only way, Bebe, let's just bear with it for now, okay?" I asked affectionately. "It's all for you, Bebe," and then Bebe drowned me again in his kisses... This situation isn't so bad, as long as we still get to see each other, I'm fine with it. But later on, I'm planning to get an annulment. Once I've given that ugly man a child, I hope one will be enough for him and he won't desire ten, because that would kill my beautiful body! ******************* Wedding Day Our wedding will take place at Zac's Mansion. It's a garden wedding that will be attended by powerful politicians and business tycoons from around the country. And this isn't just a Mansion, it's a Palace! Zac's house is three times the size of our Mansion. The garden is breathtakingly beautiful. Our 1-hectare garden can't compare to this one, which is about 2 hectares in size, with flowers imported from abroad which can only be found in other countries. The person who landscaped this garden is talented. It's beautiful! And it even has a mini waterfall in the middle, complete with fish. I have to give credit to Zac, he has excellent and refined taste. But right now, the garden decorations are simply stunning. Our wedding motif is gold, so everything is gleaming. To top it off, there are even actual gold accents throughout the entire area. A flower made entirely of real gold! And the carpet isn't red, it's yellow, but it's made of tiny pieces of gold. I'm sure they're genuine, it's sparkling! Everything around me is sparkling, including myself. My headpiece is adorned with tiny pieces of gold and pearls, just like my stunning wedding gown. This is pure luxury! And I look gorgeous today. Our wedding is about to start. The singer began to sing "Beautiful in White" One by one, the wedding attendants walked down the aisle. My three friends, who are also my confidantes, served as my lovely bridesmaids. They looked stunning. And now, it's my turn. I will walk down the aisle with my Daddy. And there's Zac, still wearing a mask. He's waiting for me. I wonder if he's smiling or frowning underneath that mask? Whatever, I don't care - as long as the wedding is over, I'm good. But it's our wedding, so I will play along. I give him a genuine smile. At least I won't fight with him for now, because it's our wedding day. My dad passed my hand to Zac, and this is it. I'm getting married! I couldn't follow what was happening during the ceremony. Until the priest said... "You may kiss the bride." Oh no! Is he going to kiss me? Of course, girl, that's what happens when you get married. Shut up, brain! Zac's mask only covered the upper half of his face, so he could kiss me anytime, and the crowd around us was cheering loudly. "Kiss the bride! Kiss the bride!" Ugh, stop shouting! Zac looked at me with a glance that seemed to ask for permission. Of course, he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone, so I reluctantly agreed. I nodded my head and gave him my sweetest smile. And he got the hint. He lifted my wedding veil, exposing my beautiful face. The audience fell silent, eagerly waiting for Zac to kiss me. He smiled, then kissed me. But it was just a quick smack on the lips. Bebe Rond was hiding behind the flowers, and I knew he was seething with jealousy! But the crowd keeps pushing him to kiss me. It was infuriating! "More! More! Kiss her! Kiss her!" Ugh, can't you people just stop? Luckily, Zac sensed that I was uncomfortable. "Later!" he shouted. The audience erupted in laughter. Of course, I had to laugh too, girl. I'm just being fake. Finally, the ceremony ended, and now it's time for what everyone's been waiting for: who will catch the bridal bouquet. The women rushed to the center, eagerly waiting. Even my three friends were pushing and shoving each other. Girls, you're not subtle about how excited you are! On the count of 1, 2, 3... I tossed the bouquet over my shoulder. And who caught it? None other than Debbie. Oh, She's thrilled! Got a triumphant smile on her face. Now it's Zac's turn; he's going to toss the garter. Guess who caught it? A chubby guy, bahaha! Debbie, who was beaming with joy earlier, now looks like she's about to cry, It seems my wedding has turned into a comedy show! We all proceeded to the reception, at Zac's hotel. Then, he and I shared our first dance as a married couple. The guests showered us with money. P1,000 bills were pinned to our clothes! There were so many P1,000 bills. The gold motif was replaced by a sea of blue. Our 5-layer cake had gold bracelets hanging from it. With each slice, our guests could take home a bracelet as a souvenir. So lavish and elegant, girl! We were also sweet while feeding each other's cake. Then I saw Bebe Rond sitting at the table across from us! His eyes were gleaming with jealousy. Oh, Bebe, it's almost over. Hang in there. Finally, Zac's and my grand wedding came to an end. I planned to sneak out and visit Bebe. I had already changed my clothes and was ready when one of the ugly guy's bodyguards blocked my path. "What's the meaning of this?" I asked. "I thought I had my freedom?" You are a worthless, ugly man! I've been scammed! I stormed into our hotel suite, and there he was, sitting on the sofa, sipping with his wine. I feel like I'm going to erupt! "What's going on? I thought I had my freedom? Why don't I? Bebe is waiting for me outside!" I shouted. The ugly man seemed oblivious, feeling relaxed. "Hey, ugly! I'm talking to you!" I shouted again. "Calm down, and please lower your voice. Your shouting is deafening," he replied, still not looking at me. And the despicable ugly man just continued sipping his wine. Okay, calm down, Alexis. Breathe in, breathe out... "So, what's going on? Why can't I go see Rond?" I asked. "There are eyes everywhere, and reporters are scattered all around. They're just waiting for us to make mistakes. It's our wedding day; we're supposed to be together. And tomorrow, we'll fly to Japan for our honeymoon," he explained calmly. Wait, what? Honeymoon? Does he think he's going to have sex with me? This ugly guy is a pervert! "Sex already? That's too fast!" I complained. The ugly guy just burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked, shouting. Then, he took off his mask!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

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
