CHAPTER 6: CANNOT BE FORCED

CHAPTER 6

EVELYN'S P.O.V

I let out a heavy sigh as I lay down on my new bed. My bed was so comfortable that it made me want to stay on my bed all day. It has been some time since I lay down on such a comfortable bed ever since I transmigrated into this world. 

Damn. Why did heaven send me into this world of psychopaths? Do they want me to become a psychopath too? 

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door, that made me snap back to reality.

“Yes? Is there something else you need me to do?” I said with a loud tone, but suddenly, I forgot that my room was soundproof.

I reluctantly climbed off my bed and opened the door. The blinding face of the butler appeared in my vision, which almost outshined my beauty—well, my beauty, for now, is hidden.

“Is there something else?” I asked again as I look at him in the eyes.

Tsk! This butler is godly handsome. The most handsome man that I've ever met in my two lives. This kind of handsome could outshine the idols and even the models.

That psychopath villain must be much godly handsome than this butler or just the same with him. Even though I was curious about that villain's face, I don't want to see it at all! I still love my life and haven't gotten the chance to get revenge for the original owner of the body that I'm using now. 

The butler showed his smile again that almost blind me that I subconsciously closed my eyes. 

Noticing me closing my eyes, the butler frowned. “What happened? Did your eyes hurt?”

I shook my head and replied,  “You're handsome face almost blinded me and I subconsciously closed my eyes.”

Hearing this, the butler was stunned. In a second, he let out a laugh, making me open my eyes to look at him.

“Why are you laughing?” I frowned.

“It's because you're funny.” He answered in between laughing, making me look at him flatly.

‘You're making me look as if I'm a clown.’

Of course, I didn't voice my opinion. Who knows, this butler might also be a psychopath especially since he had a psychopath master whom he served since he was a child. I really can't let her guard down in this world that was filled with psychopaths. 

Also, his smiles are suspicious even though they looked sincere and real. 

Although I  seemed to be judgemental, you can't blame me especially since I was sent to a world full of psychopaths that made me think that I was their prey in this world that was filled with predators.

Seeing that the butler was done laughing, I asked again. “What else do you need?”

The butler looked at Ms with a smile on his face. “I'm just here to ask if you're comfortable with your room. If there is anything that you would like to change, just tell me.”

“Ah, about that, it was good. I'm comfortable with the room, especially the bed, however, I'm not comfortable with the curtains. Could you please change those red curtains to white? Also the bed sheets too, it was red that which made me think that it was a bridal chamber. I don't like the color so I have to trouble you to change it to white or it would also be good if it's black.” I started with a polite smile.

The butler was silent for a minute as if he was thinking about whether he should change it or not, then after he decided, he smiled at me again and answered, “Okay. I'll send the servants to change it to white. Black is a bit too much for you.”

I let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you.

The butler shook his head modestly. “It's nothing, I'm just doing my responsibility.”

I was about to go back to my bed but seeing him still standing in front of the door, I couldn't help but tilt my head and looked at him in confusion.

“Is there anything else? I mean, any rules that I needed to follow?” I asked out of curiosity after seeing that he didn't leave.

The butler showed his smile again and shook his head. “No, there's none. You can rest assured that you are exempted—oh wait, there was...”

“Hm? What is it?”

It's not shocking for me if there's a rule that I needed to follow since after all, this is Phoenix Valcarcel's clan. His clan, his rules.

“Firstly, you must not look at another man.”

My brows furrowed. “Are you saying that I should blind my eyes instead?”

The butler immediately shook his head. “No. What I mean is that you must not cheat on Mr. Valcarcel.”

I wanted to roll my eyes. Cheating my ass, even if I was forced into this so-called engagement, I would never cheat even if my partner is a psychopathic villain.

Besides, I'm not the type of person who would easily fall in love with someone or let others seduce me easily. I'm already immune to that kind of thing especially back in my original world, those disgusting men would force themselves to force themselves onto me by using other means, like using aphrodisiacs on me, flirting with me, seducing me, or even going such lengths as letting me see their nudes.

I almost vomited in disgust and beat the shit out of them then send them behind the bars. Although there were no effects on me, especially that aphrodisiac thingy since I've been immune to poison or other substances that could harm my body, it was still disgusting knowing that there would be a person who could do that to me for the sake of money and position. 

Because of that, my views about the world collapsed even more and it made me feel disgusted whenever a man would dare to touch, even the tips of my hair. I could hardly even breathe in the same room with them because it was too nauseating for me.

This is also the reason why I didn't get married or even dated someone I couldn't handle the nauseating feeling.

Then I looked at this butler's godly face and sighed inwardly. However, to think that I was fine facing and letting him near me without being nauseated was shocking.

Is it because he's too handsome? 

I'm not a face-con but the fact that this butler has such a magnificent view that I could watch for a whole day.

I lightly coughed and cleared my throat, look at him, and asked, “Is there a second and a third rule?”

The butler continued speaking about the rules. “The second rule is that you must never betray Mr. Valcarcel.”

“Whether betraying him or not is an option for me to choose depending on the attitude that Valcarcel would show me.” I simply said without minding that this butler is the second-in-command of the master of the Valcarcel Clan who is soon to be my husband.

Damn, husband my ass! More like this husband of mine would be the death of me!

Especially since I hadn't gotten rid of my title as cannon fodder. 

There's no guarantee that I would continue to live peacefully in this clan. Starting today, my survival rate is no guarantee.

The butler stop smiling as he raised his brows. “What do you mean?”

I fearlessly looked him in the eyes and answered. “Exactly what I meant. So what's the third rule?”

The butler stared at me for a minute before he added the last rule. “The last rule would be; you must love him, only him, and be faithful to him.”

After saying that, the butler saw my brows raised to the point that they would reach the ceiling.

I let out a laugh but my laugh had no soul, especially in my eyes. Behind my bangs, I rolled her eyes in mockery that the butler couldn't see.

“Love cannot be forced, it is given. I can't force myself to love him and there's no guarantee that I would do so.” I answered seriously so that there would be no misunderstanding.

The butler's face grew dimmer and from the sight that Evelyn couldn't see, his eyes darkened but they disappeared immediately, replacing his harmless expression.

“Is there someone that you like that's why you can't love Mr. Valcarcel who is soon to be your husband?” The butler asked in a calm tone. 

I shook her head and answered honestly. “None. There is none but I am not someone who would easily fall in love no matter how godly handsome or powerful they are.”

“Huh? But he can give you anything that you want.” The butler answered with his brows furrowed and for a second, the color of his eyes change from darkish red.

Hearing this, I shook her head and chuckled. “No, he can't give what I want. Even though I can't get what I want, how much more than him?”

Seeing that the butler went silent, I added. “Also, for the third rule, I can't guarantee that since I have a disease but it's not contiguous.”

“Disease?” The butler's face became colder but immediately hide his emotions.

I didn't see his face change because my eyes were suddenly blocked by my bangs and I could hardly see because of my bangs. 

“Well, I don't know if you could call this disease but whenever I come to close contact with a man, I get nauseated to the point that I want to vomit. But it's a bit tolerable now since I only get nauseous whenever I'm near a man.” I calmly stated as if it was nothing.

It was nothing for me because I was already used to it.

The reason why I was used to it was that I would always get close to those sharp-tongued gangsters but they didn't touch me, only get close that's why it was tolerable to me and I won't get nauseated when it comes to them because they treated me as a family, and I also treated them as my family even though we curse each other as a daily life habit whenever we see each other's faces.

They were the ones who stood as my family ever since the car accident happened to the point that it made me forget that I have this disease when it comes to men though it wasn't that bad.
