The Bride from Auction

I was standing on the big stage in front of many people who seemed excited about what was going to happen next. Wearing this long white fitted dress that was full of diamonds on it, provided by our Manager. Somehow, I am not comfortable in this dress, I can feel that I can’t walk properly in this, it seems that I’m inside the web of the spider that wanted to get out from it, but I need to bring this dress as good as it can be. And the make-up artist did put something in my skin to make it more beautiful and shine like what I am wearing right now but at this point, I can feel the itchiness of my skin. He said this is going to be perfect for the eyes of our clients and that’s the cue that I don’t have the right to say no of their plans and ideas. I had the full spotlight of the dazzling light and I was almost blind but I didn't mind it because the order was to smile when we were on stage, smile even though I tried to show that this job was okay with me. I almost forgot that I even had

Wait, why is this man full of surprises? "What are you doing?" I whispered to him, I could still hear the applause of the people around us. Why are they applauding? And why is also I can hear the applause of the people here as well?"I'm just telling them that you're going to stay here," he said without hesitation.I clenched my fists, if it wasn't for his men who seemed to kill their boss who made the wrong move, I would have hit the man next to me a long time ago.“I went along with what you ordered because I thought we would talk, and I thought you would give me a sensible job. I'm not kidding here, man.” I told him.He looked at me seriously and signaled the people to leave and then they went back to what they were doing. "Let us talk to my office," he said and left first.I sighed and then followed him. We went up the stairs which you can tell that their stairs are really expensive because it’s a glass. He walked into a room with the word 'Office' written on it, before I followed

He wasn't lying because four hours later he arrived from Hong Kong. How long is the flight from there to here?"Good evening, Master Javier." I heard the guards greet him. I went down the stairs from his room and looked at him as I walked. He was just looking at me and I don't understand why I was nervous while looking into his eyes that didn't want to let go of me."How are you here?" That was his first question when we both got close."I'm doing fine here, Javier. I thought you were in Hong Kong, why are you here?" I asked him softly because I didn't want his employees to think who I was to ask such a question to their boss."I told you that I was going home and I ended my meeting immediately so that I could go home and talk to you," he said.Just that fast? He just came home right away just to talk to me? I'm fine anyway, but I'll admit it's better if he's here so that when I have questions, I'll just ask him."Have you seen your room already?" he asked. I want to hit him, how dare

We ended up at Hillary's shop and I still can't get over what she said earlier that she wasn't Javier's choice to be his wife. Me too, I don't know why because I'm just a stranger in Javier's life."Thank you, Hillary." I smiled at her. She hugged me."I hope you like all the clothes I chose for you," she whispered.Yes, all the clothes she chose for me are so beautiful. No wonder why he is Javier's stylist. Even Javier's simple clothes suit him.“We're going first, Hillary. Thank you very much again.""Thank you too, Janiyah. We're friends already, right?" she asked. I smiled widely and then nodded.There's nothing wrong with her being my friend, she's also kind. "We are friends now," I told her.After we finished at Hillary's shop, we went to the restaurant. It's not on the list but it's noon so we need to eat three first. "Why here?" I asked Girly because It’s a luxury restaurant. It can only be done at a cheap restaurant."Don't worry, Miss Janiyah. I have Master Javier's card wit

The week of Javier and I's wedding came, I was surprised by the influx of people at his mansion. A few are his family and friends. It's like I'm in another world where I'm lost because they're the ones I see. I can say that this is not my life, this is not me."Hey, have you seen Javier?" Someone went to me, a man who is just as tall as Javier, he's wearing a polo shirt and I also see his tattoo that is similar to Javier's tattoo on his arm.I saw five men here with tattoos on their arms."Hey, I'm talking to you. Have you seen your boss?” he asked again.Boss? Did he think I was a maid here? Well, I can't blame him either because Javier hasn't introduced me as his wife yet so maybe they thought I am a maid."Oh, I'm sorry. I have never seen him," I answered. And yes, what I said is true. I haven't seen Javier again since the number of visitors to his mansion increased.He told me the other day that there will be a party at his mansion and some guests will be here, I didn't expect man
