The Bride from Auction 17 - About him
The next day I woke up with pain all over my body, it was hard to lift my head. I feel like I came from a hard fight. Well, my fight was really intense last night.“Good morning…”I immediately turned to the person who spoke, it was Javier holding a tray with food. "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry, the doorbell rang for the lunch I ordered for us."My eyes almost widened at what he said. Lunch? What time is it? Why is it lunch? Did I sleep long?"What time is it?" I asked."It's already 1:00 P.M. I didn't wake you up anymore because I know you’re still sore....uhm, last night..." He looked away, I also looked away because I remembered what happened between the two of us last night.Those voices of ours that I no longer recognize, murmurs coming from my mouth. As in, the whole incident. I was too shy to face him so I didn't look at him when I left the bed. He was about to come to me but I stopped him with one of my hands, I was still not looking at him."I'm fine. I'm just going to take a
The Bride from Auction 18 - Disneyland
Javier left after we talked. I just wanted to stay at the hotel but I couldn't see anything but a white building and a beautiful view from the building. He gave me pocket money so that if I want to go somewhere I can use it. I was afraid to be alone because I wasn't familiar with the Hong Kong area so he also gave me a map that I only have on my phone, it's an application. He said he can also find me using that application.He also wanted to take me but I said no because I want to learn on my own.And while I was walking outside, happily watching people even if they were just talking, I felt happy when I saw them smiling. But I thought that my whole night would be happy just by myself, but not because my phone kept ringing. Only Javier can call me here."What?" I asked him, frustrated."Where are you? Are you okay there?" I dreamed about what he asked. He has been calling for a while now but I just answered his call."I'm having fun here, Javier. Don't you have a meeting? You've been
The Bride from Auction Chapter 19 - Party
We went back to the hotel room to get ready because we were going to his friend's party. I then thought about how well known he is because even here in Hong Kong he knows many people."Are you ready?" he asked me. I nodded and smiled. "You look... perfect."I bit my bottom lip when he said that, I looked away from him. When we arrived from Disneyland, there were clothes ready for us. He said he bought it for the party.I am wearing a fitted blue gown with a slit on my right lap, while Javier is wearing a white polo inside on his white coat and white slack pants."Let's go?" I asked because he didn't take his eyes off me. I was embarrassed.He extended his hand to me and I took it to hold it. He let me walk. It's good that I'm used to wearing high heels, we were trained in our work at the Auction Club so it's not difficult for me to walk wearing these."Are you okay with your shoes?" Javier asked as if he was the one having trouble with my situation. Or he just feels that I'm strugglin
The Bride from Auction 20 - Why Me?
Javier introduced me to his friends at the party, his male friends also had their girlfriends with them. Some of them treated me well but others did not, especially Francheska's friends and Francheska herself.I was left at our table alone because Javier left, he said he was just going to talk to someone upstairs, I wanted to come but I didn't tell him because I thought I wouldn't have anything to do but Javier didn't seem to want to take me either. He told me to stay here and not to go somewhere.I was eating when someone approached me, not just one but many of them. It was Francheska and her friends."Hey, why are you alone?" Francheska asked me. I looked at them seriously."Javier went to talk to someone," I answered her.I was about to turn my head from them when someone touches my hair so I immediately stood up in shock. They laughed like high school bullies. "What's the problem?" I asked in confusion.Francheska approached me, she smirked at me. "What do you think? You're going
The Bride from Auction 21 - Angela's Parents
We got back to the United States and never talked about what happened in Hong Kong. I didn't ask Javier or anything else, he didn't open up about it either so I let it go.We arrived at the mansion with food ready on the dining table. I didn't know what was there so I turned to Javier with surprise. "What's up? Why is there food prepared? Do you have a visitor?” I asked him.He gave our suitcase to the helpers before answering me. "Yes, they will come later," he answered.He came to me, which I was wondering about. "Why?" I asked him. He smiled."I just want to apologize for what happened in Hong Kong. From what my friends had done and said, I didn't expect it to happen like that."I just said that I don't want to talk about it either but I didn't expect him to open the topic about what happened in Hong Kong."It's okay, I'll forget that too. Maybe I need to get used to the reaction people will have every time they see me." I smiled at him, not letting it be known that I wasn't really
The Bride from Auction Chapter 22 - Gunshot
I was just at the mansion and Javier was going out to work. A week has passed since we returned home from Hong Kong. A lot happened from our wedding day to our honeymoon day. I still haven't talked to my family so that's my plan for today. Javier told me that if I was going somewhere, I would just let my driver who he provided for me to accompany me."Are you coming?" I asked Sandy who was dressed. She nodded and smiled."Yes ma'am. That's Sir Javier's order that I will accompany you if you’re going somewhere."I frowned at what she said. There's no need to accompany me because I'm just going to visit my family. "I'm sorry, Sandy. But it's okay if you don't accompany me. I can handle myself, and I am sure nothing will happen to me. I assure you that andI will just go to my family," I explained to her with a smile.She also smiled at me and shook her head. "I know that, Ma’am. But Sir Javier ordered us to go with you. And he also thought that you might be going somewhere else. I'm not
The Bride from Auction 23 - I Am You
I slowly stop myself from hugging Javier. I looked at him with confusion on my face. "What's happening?" That was the first thing that came out of my mouth. I also slowly looked around and the people who were standing earlier were still there."I'll explain inside, let's go." Javier took my hand and let me go inside where we were.Even though I was curious, I followed him. The people had separated as if they had gone back to what they were doing and it was as if nothing had happened.Javier made me sit on the sofa, facing the desk that was similar to the one in his office at home. "This is my office. Here, drink water.” He handed me a glass of water. I took it and drank it, I could still feel the tremors in my body because of what happened so I felt Javier sit next to me and hold my hand."I'm sorry..." that's what came out of his mouth that confused me, I just looked at him seriously. "I'm sorry if you experience this tonight.""What do you mean you're sorry? Do you know why this ha
The Bride from Auction Chapter 24
I can't move from where I'm standing, the earlier rapid heartbeat of my chest is even faster now. The fear that I feel now, I can’t understand as if this is my last day.Is this really what I see? Is she Angela? And what? Am I her twin sister? So, I'm not a real child of my parents? But how? How did I end up with my family now and get away from my real family?"I do not know what you're saying. Let me go.” I stammered.I tried to distance myself from her but I had nowhere to go, the door was locked. She brought her face even closer to me."I know you know what I'm talking about, Janiyah…hmm, you probably think I'm really dead like the idiots around you, right?"I didn't answer what she said. Yes, she's already dead. That's what Javier and other people around me said but what do I see now?“I don't know what you need from me but you can't get anything from me—”"I know you are useless but we will still find a way to make you useful. Don't worry, I won't kill you right now. I just want
