The Bride from Auction 8 - Angela
We arrived at what he said was his friend's shop. I thought that my day would be quiet with him because he doesn't talk much, but I was wrong, because his friends are always talking to him and me. They have a lot of questions and I still haven't chosen what to wear."Great, you're beautiful. You look like her—”"Luella, stop it." Javier stopped his female friend who had been approaching me for a while. "Come here, Janiyah. Choose the gown you want." Javier pulled me to his side and handed me the album with the options on it.While I was looking at the beautiful gowns, I couldn't escape the whispers that were close to me. I looked at Javier, he was far away from me because he was talking to someone."Yeah, she looks just like her. Maybe the only difference is that Janiyah is simple and modest.”"I know right, is it her twin?""I don't think so—oh shit, Javier is coming."They stopped talking when Javier came next to me again with a girl."This is Lhian, she's a wedding organizer. If yo
The Bride from Auction 9 - Engagement Party
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
The Bride from Auction 10 - Meeting The Family
So, this is the day I am waiting for. And Javier and I are getting married tomorrow. I know, this is so fast. But I cannot control it. Javier is the one driving the car, he did not bring guards and driver and I was also sitting in the front seat. This is the first time that he will be driving and it will be just the two of us together. I feel like this is the first time I've ever felt even more uncomfortable."You're so quiet," he began after a few minutes of silence between the two of us. I don't have anything to say so I don't even know what topic to open."You too, Javier. You've been quiet for a while, I don't want to speak first because I don't have anything to say either," I answered.I heard him sigh, there was traffic on the road so the car stopped. I can feel that he looked at me so I also turned to him which I wish I hadn't done. Why is that? He just looked at me as if I was being electrocuted."Are you sure you're okay with us going to my family's house now?" he asked whic
The Bride from Auction 11-Wedding Day
Until we got home I didn't know what to do. I didn't talk to Javier anymore because I was thinking about how to fix this mess. Javier and I are getting married tomorrow and his Grandfather wants to see my family? No, it's not possible. I didn't tell them, I didn't even know how they were, I changed the network I used so they couldn't contact me. I know what I did to my family was not good but I don't want them to feel the kind of life I have entered."Hey, you should sleep early. We'll be early tomorrow…”I didn't pay attention to Javier, I just lay on the bed without looking at him. Until several hours passed, I still couldn't sleep. Got up to look at Javier, he was sleeping on the couch. God, I don't know anymore! My work hasn't really started yet but I'm already struggling. Maybe I'll just tell Javier's family tomorrow about my family not coming to the wedding? Yeah, maybe I should do that to save my ass. The next day, I woke up feeling like I didn't want to get up and leave the
The Bride from Auction Chapter 12 - Reception
At the reception, I was in a room with my family and Javier. I can't look at my family or even at Javier. I just want to think that this is a nightmare. "I'll leave you guys first...Janiyah." I nodded at Javier.When he left the room, I looked at my family. I couldn't stop the tears that I was holding back earlier. Earlier Javier and I went straight to the reception and to a private room where we are now with my family. I thought Javier and I would be the only ones talking but I was wrong because the door opened and my family entered."What's happening?" Liam spoke first.I bent down, I still couldn't look at them. "Janiyah, you've been gone for two weeks and we'll know that you're going to marry Javier, who you introduced to us as your boss?" my mother said, her voice showed that she was having difficulty speaking. Her voice broke.“Mom, Dad, Liam… I'm sorry if I hid about—”"Why did you hide it, Janiyah?" Liam asked me, cutting me off. "Are you ashamed that Javier's family knows tha
The Bride from Auction 13 - Forum
My eyes widened and I turned to Javier, he looked at his family with anger on his face. I have heard whispers and different reactions from people. Most of them are curious."Auction Club? What do you mean, Grandpa?” Hannah asked.I bowed and closed my eyes, people shouldn’t know what I was doing before. "Yes, I found out that Janiyah, Javier's wife, loves auctions. Make a bid. In fact, that's what I liked about Janiyah because her family is like that too. The donations they give to various organizations are large… explained Javier's grandfather that made me more curious about what's happening. I frowned at what he said, I didn't even pay attention to the people's responses, their applause as if they were excited about what I did just because of what Javier's Grandfather said. Even Javier's family was surprised at what he said."Dad, what are you doing?" asked Javier's father. Javier's Grandfather did not answer him, instead he poured wine into the wine glass he was holding and he rai
The Bride from Auction 14 - Kiss
I couldn't move from what he did, my eyes widened and I felt my knees go weak. As I understand what really happened, I had the courage to push him away from me and slapped him.He didn't kiss me on the lips during our wedding, he just kissed me on the cheek so I was shocked by what he did now. I can also feel the speed of my heart beating. Like me, his eyes widened, but I don't know if it was because I pushed him or because of what he did. He looked away, ruffling his hair as if struggling."I'm sorry..." He stammered. He looked at me. "Janiyah, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry… take some rest.” I just watched him turn his back on me and leave the room.I still can't move from where I'm standing. I can't even compose myself again to fix my mind. I slowly touched my lips, until now I can still feel his soft lips on mine.Damn it! This is not possible. I came here for work, I can't have feelings for him because I know it will stop and I don't know how long I pretend to be his wife."I'm not
The Bride from Auction 15 - Hong Kong
Javier took me to the mall because we were going to buy our clothes first and something else that we can use. We stayed in one room, he said that we were only here for a while at the mall because he was going somewhere and I was sure that I would be left at the hotel where we stayed."Pick anything you want, whatever you feel comfortable wearing. I'll wait for you over there." He pointed to the couch behind me. Will he just sit? He won't look for clothes that are just for him?"You won't go with me to look for clothes? Shall I look for you?" I asked.He kept quiet and looked at me seriously. "Will you find clothes for me?" he asked as if he couldn't believe what I said. I'm just asking.“I am just asking, Javier—”"I'm going to come... I was just going to sit down because you were the only one looking for clothes for you but because you thought of the idea of finding me clothes, I'm going to come.. ." he explained.I frowned at what he said and shook my head twice. I didn't unders
