Chapter Eleven: Arriving in the US

Ian was escorted by the bodyguards from the outside. He didn’t even give me a last glance, while I just crossed my arms watching him go away from me, like I was just some trash he discarded when the consequences of loving me are waving at him right now. I felt a presence behind me, so I looked over my shoulder, but not enough to see Karlo completely.“I’m sorry, but I had to tell him the truth before he gets in the way,” I heard him say.“Before he gets in the way?” I echoed. “What the hell are you talking about?”“If you continue your relationship, you will be in danger. And not just you! Also him and his family! Do you want to get him killed in the process, now that our enemies know your identity now?”I couldn’t answer, because deep inside, I know that he was right. I can’t let Ian get involved in whatever this is. Maybe he loves me, but he can’t risk being with me at this time. I’ll just get him when I am ready for everything. “Fine,” I said in dismay and in bitterness before wa

Chapter Twelve: My Wife

As agreed, Karlo and I went to the university where I can process my enrollment to pursue an MBA. Most of the time, he was the one who took care of it, while I took pictures around the campus, where some places are just astonishing to photograph so that I could upload them to my Instagram account.“Who is that hottie? Is he new here?”I lifted my head in curiosity when I heard a high-pitched, womanly voice nearby. There was a group of ladies languidly walking through the pavement, not far away from me. Their eyes were fixated on the registrar's office where Karlo was talking to a professor through the small window. He was nodding while leaning over the counter so he could hear the blushing professor and stifling a malicious smile. I frowned even more when the group stopped in their tracks so they could check out Karlo.Yeah, right, I almost forgot the part that I am not the only one noticing that he is handsome and hot. Most women I know from my sight would get head over heels for him

Chapter Thirteen: Offended

It was so hard. My body was aching for the past days, while I was preparing for the start of my MBA. I don’t even know if Karlo would get interested in going outside since he was just too focused on our training. He would just call his secretary or the vice president of his company to check on the progress of his projects, but that’s all. He and I were inseparable inside the apartment.“You can watch TV. I’ll cook,” Karlo said and went to the kitchen.“Yeah, okay,” I said and cracked my neck as I approached the sofa in the sala.I had a long day again, training in the backyard with him. I have no idea if I am learning from our combat since he keeps being careful not to hurt me, but he would make sure that I was serious about what I was doing. I lay down on the sofa with a throw pillow under my head and heaved a long sigh, turning on the television. It did not take a long time for me to fall into a heavy sleep without even picking a good movie.When I woke up, there was a warm blanket

Chapter Fourteen: The Loner

Just like what Karlo said, he went to the university with me and dropped me off on campus. We didn’t say anything as I was just scrolling through my TikTok feed. Although I could feel his stares darting on my face from the driver’s seat and would just sigh at the very end.I liked my uniform because it was a mini blue striped skirt, white fitted long sleeves, with a pink ribbon tie on the top button. I was also wearing black two-inch heels, so it made me taller than I will ever be. I saw Karlo protesting about it through his gaze when I was taking mirror selfies in the living room, but he stopped himself from saying anything. I lost my hair and just clipped the sides of it, feeling like an Anime female character.“I’ll pick you up when you are done with your classes, okay?” he reminded me for the nth time when we stopped in the parking lot of the university. “Call me when you need anything.”“Karlo, I won’t call you because there’s nothing to worry about. Am I some sixteen years old t
