Chapter 2

Aviena's POV

“What are you going to do with it? Some of the companies cancel the contract. They don't want a bad image in their brands. ”

“The fan clubs! They're trying to ruin you more. Everyone knows you but it still doesn't matter because you don't have projects! How do you earn that?'' Elder Sister Rose just kept on her line while I didn't speak because I also didn't know what to say.

What would I do if my manager didn't even know how to solve it?

“That will pass too, Elder Sister. People will also get tired of mentioning my name. ” I even tried to go back to bed because I think some more when I talk to my Elder Sister. Everything is just annoying.

"What?" She immediately gave me a bad look.

“I’m too tired. I'll sleep first." Honestly, it's boring to fight with my Elder Sister. I don't know about her. She's so hot head. I don't know if it's because they're always fighting with her boyfriend or what. Whatever the reason, she always annoys me.

"I'm the one who always finds a way to solve your problem!" She shouted at me.

“Of course, you will! It's your job! ” I also shouted back. Well, I'm in my condo. I can act normal here, not exactly when we are at the event, I have to smile even though I am annoyed with his commands.

A few more fights ensued before she left me in the room to rest.

When the place became peaceful. I just stared at the ceiling, I'm not sure if everything will go back to normal, especially since I know how powerful Mrs. Del Monte is the wife of the Governor. Several people who are linked with Governor. have ruined lives because of her. Rumor has it that Ms. Del Monte will bring you ten times the pain of what she feels.

I was scared. I’m scared about a lot of things. I know. Elder Sister and I know that my projects are now being blocked. Even though I have a bad image, I won't just lose the contract but it happened now. It happened quickly. I don’t know where we’re going to be picked up now.

I was scared. Not for myself. But for the people I support. My sister was not the only one I'm helping with my studies. Almost all of our relatives are depending on me. I can see how hard my nephews work hard in their studies. All of them want to be successful someday. I don’t want to break their dreams. I want to see how they gradually become successful.

I just let out a sigh because I couldn’t even rest anymore. Eventually, my hands just took me to scroll on my social media account. People are just really rude to me even though the truth is, they don't know what's happening behind the cameras.

Eventually, I just tried to sketch for a while. This used to be my peace in this tiring world.

When I finished, I changed into the sexy lingerie that my Elder Sister wants me to wear when I take a picture here at home because most of my clothes have a cartoon design. My image on the internet is sexy so I can't wear this.

I just took a picture of my sketch. I know no one will wait for my pictures but I also need to earn money so while the news about me is still hot, I'll make the most of it. I was already busy when I heard Ate's loud knocking from outside. She has a key. So stupid.

I would have ignored it but it only got loud and annoying too.

I was irritated when I opened the door at the idea that it was just her being mad at me but my lips immediately quiver when the person outside the door dragged me out of the door without saying a word while pulling my hair.

“You! Mistress! Can't you calm down your pussy! What right do you have to flirt with a man with a wife!” She loudly cried. She didn't even care if someone was watching our behavior. Expensive people but she has a squammy attitude.

I couldn't even fight back because she had bodyguards with her and there were reporters here outside my condo. I just close my eyes because I want to shout at her while saying that she should wake up to the fact that if the Gov. loves him, it won't let him doubt like this but because I'm in public, I tried to look kind again. I shouldn’t be angry. I feel like I’m going to look like a saint because I have to forgive them when they make mistakes even if it’s true? Until I die, I will remember their sin against me.

“She’s the one who invaded my privacy. Look at me. Do I look like I can hurt?” My voice was still begging when we were in the police station after what she have done to me in front of my condo. I want to frown at the sight of that police who's now looking at my body. Annoying. Fuck. Right. I'm still wearing my lingerie. 

"Why did you drag her, Ma'am?" Police asked Mrs. Del Monte while still looking at me. It's nice to slap and pierce someone's eyes, huh?

“That's my husband's mistress!" She tried to look at me angrily before shouting again. "Look, you only know how to flirt! Look at your clothes, you look like a slut!” 

I couldn't help but laugh.

“Fabric doesn't measure being a slut, Mrs. Del Monte. No matter how conservative I dress, I'm still a whore. ” I don't understand why they always base their respect on the clothes of individuals and see if the person should be respected.

“Or maybe you are jealous? You oldi— ”I couldn't finish what I was going to say when she stood up and tried to hurt me again.

Mrs. Del Monte's bodyguard whispered something to the police who were trying to calm Mrs. Del Monte. The police immediately settled down while saying something to each other. 

“Let's not make this bigger, Ms. Carinuevo. ” I couldn’t help but wince because of what the police said. Right. What else can I expect from them? It is only natural that they side with the wife of the Governor.

I didn't argue anymore and would have accepted what they wanted to happen when someone stood next to me. I can still smell the fragrance of manliness coming from him.

He put his coat on me before I met his cold eyes, it matched its blue color...

“Excuse me but I don’t think that’s right. I won't let my fiancee be treated rudely like this.” He coldly looked at the police. I immediately felt sorry for the rest of them because if looks can kill, they are probably dead now.

“Your fiancee is Mrs. Del Monte? But she already has a husband? ” I calmly question, even though startled by the revelation.

It's impossible that I'm the fiancee he's referring to when he doesn't seem to know me.

He just looked at me for a moment and didn't answer.

"Do something about this before I get my lawyer." His voice was cold when he said that before he turned to Mrs. Del Monte who just purses her lips.

"Let's go now." My lips felt open when I look at him. Am I the fiancee he is referring to? Is it joke time? If so, should I laugh?

"Let's go, Aviena." I seemed to be magnetized in the seat just because he mentioned my name. He never really said my name. That's why it feels so weird. So, he knows me, huh?

His sharp eyes even met mine so I couldn't help but sigh before following him.

He opened the door of his Porsche for me. I slowly rode there. My eyes rolled as I realized the whole incident.

“Wait. Did you just say that I was your fiancee?” My eyes widened when I realized I was what he was referring to.

"Yes, but after tonight you're my wife." I just stared at it for a long time. Making me believe that it's a joke.

"Do you have something wrong with your head?" I even laughed to keep from being anxious because I couldn't see the humor on his face.

"So, your sister hasn't told you, huh?" I frowned at him because of that.

"Your sister already sold you." He just didn't seem to be joking.

"You know? I'm not in the mood to joke right now so stop trying to make me laugh. ” He kept looking at me because of that.

“I’m not kidding around. Ask your sister then.” It was as if he had no intention of talking to me if I just didn't look at him. I couldn't believe what he was saying.

"Take me in my condo then." I'm still demanding because even though he looks scary, it's still scary to trust. He turned to me with a frown when he saw me sitting complacently in his car. I immediately arranged to sit and went back to being an actress when I calmed down a bit. An elegant sexy lady that he is supposed to see. 

I even saw him look at me. I feel offended by how he gazes at me before starting the engine. I felt annoyed because of his way of looking at my body as if I look like a sin. What does he mean there? Does he hate my body? I couldn’t help but wince before trying to be quiet. 

"I'll fetch you at 10. Wear nicer clothes." It was as if his voice was insulting. I can't help but be annoyed because of that. Hah! He's handsome but he looks annoying.

"You're handsome but you look crazy," I whispered to myself. I still act so sweet in front of him because that's my image most of the time.

"What?" I immediately saw him frown at me but I just thanked him and went straight into my condo. As if I'm still going out! Is he a psycho? I just shook my head not even turning my gaze at him. 

When I arrived at my condo, I immediately lay down on the bed while still feeling the pain in my scalp. I even looked at my whole body. Fortunately, there are no scratches. This is my investment, duh!

I didn't even notice the Elder Sister's arrival because I was just drowning in thought.

“Aviena. Stand there. I already have a solution to the problem you started,” she told me so I couldn't help but look at her. Did I start this? No. She's the one who actually force me to go there. It's not my fault that people assume and have actually been able to take pictures in that private event.

“What is it again, Elder Sister? I'm too tired today. Have you seen the news? ” I'm sure I'm in the News now and it's impossible for her not to know what happened because she's always updated when it comes to me.

“Come on. Don't be stubborn anymore. ” I just frowned before standing up.

"What is it?" I asked. I frowned when I saw the gown she was holding. My lips quivered when I realized what Savellano was saying.

"Be married to River Savellano for two years, Aviena." I just stood there for a long time while looking at her in disbelief.

"What?" I almost stuttered when I asked that. Maybe I become deaf.

“Marry River Savellano. He'll answer the scholarship of our nephew and niece until they graduate from college. There is free housing that we can all enjoy. He'll also save your career. Always, in those two years. Just two years, Aviena. Two years and you don't have to work so hard to make a living. Just 2 years, Aviena. ”

Wow. Just two years. Two years of my life will be wasted.

“Ate! It's a wedding! That is a sacred thing. It can't be just a joke! ” I couldn't stop myself from shouting.

“And? What about getting married for a while and marrying someone you love in the future? It's easy. Hurry up and I'll take you there!” she shouted too. I went back to lying down. No matter how angry she shouted at me, I did not obey. She was stubborn too.

I even looked at my cellphone when I saw the caller. I thought it was Tom, my screen time partner. He was the only one I gave my number to so I answered it irritably.

"Hello?" I sounded so annoyed when I asked him.

"Are you ready? I'm already in front of your condo. ” I immediately stopped when I heard the cold voice from the other line.

“Let’s go. Everything's ready for our wedding, Wife. ”
