Chapter 2 2

2nd CHAPTER

A small smile flashed on my lips when I understood that What dad meant.

It was as if all the hurtful words he had left out suddenly disappeared and were replaced by words that jumped in my heart.

I must be angry with dad for the insult I received. But why am I having fun? Especially when I heard the last word he left.

But because of what dad did, I feel like I want to thank him.

I still smile to this day. Am I married to Nate? I'm very happy. I know it's way too childish, but it's been my dream since I was in high school.

I know dad just did that so as not to tarnish his name in the media. My father was especially well -known in society. And spread on social media is what I did fighting at the club and Nate and I kissing outside.

We turned out to be my fiance Nate and so I did that.

Nate didn't do anything to get the two of us married, because he didn't want dad to admit his threat to overthrow the company he had also been struggling to build for a long time.

But marrying me helps him even more because his company and our company merged. Nate is also a good businessman so dad easily trusts him.

"I still can't believe you're married to Ellesa. And I can't understand why until now you still haven't introduced your husband to me. You're annoying hah! I thought we're sister '? But you managed to keep it a secret. to me? Is that your husband now? The man you always tell me about? The guy who always ignored you? What if he will hurt you like any other arranged marriage does? " Ate's angry line on my laptop screen.

I was in the house that dad gave us. It's been a month since we got married, and up until now I didn't tell my sister who my husband was. That's why he's angry now.

"Big sis, can you please be happy for me? I love him so much. And to be his wife is one of my dreams before sister, so please, let's not fight because of this? It's my personal life."

"Well it's you're choice. I can't stop you. But don't ever complain and cry to me when he hurts you." Then she ended the video call.

Big sis was mad at me. Well I understand her, she just wanted to protect me, she doesn't want me to go to the person who will hurt me.

The reason why I didn't tell her is because I'm afraid that she will scold me for my weakness. But shit, from what I see now, he's even angrier than I thought.

I don't want this night to end without us getting along.

So I immediately called it quits. In first and second call, she declined it. But because I'm not born to surrendered easily. I tried to call her many times. Until she picked it up. But he did not speak on the other line.

"Hey big sis. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I kept it a secret from you. I was afraid you might get angry. I'm sorry." I said softly.

But she didn't say a word.

"Ate. I'm sorry please ...." I know he can't stand me when I'm the tender one.

"Eh why are you hiding? I thought we didn't keep secrets from each other?" He made a rude promise.

"Eh I don't know if you really know that man. I don't even know his name. What if he hurts you? Or worse he'll kill you and then he'll run away and I can't do anything because I don't know him-- -"I cut her from whatever she say.

I laugh at the screen looking at her.

"Big sis, don't think too much. Do you think I'll marry him if I don't know him? Do you think I'll love him like this if I don't know every single detail about him? I'm not that stupid sister if that's what you're thinking. I love her. She's the only sister who makes me happy. I hope you understand. " I plead.

"I'm sorry li'l sis. It's just that I'm just afraid someone will hurt you. I know your a strong woman. Whatever your decision is, fine, I'll support you. I'll be there if ever you need me. " She said gently.

"So who is your husband? Are you really happy with him? Did he hurt you? Was your wedding day the happiest day in your life?" He asked.

And because of his question I remembered what Nate said when we got married.

'You make a wrong choice Ellesa. I will make sure being with me is like living in hell. So don't be complacent, because I will ruin your life. "Did he say that.

And when the night came he didn't come home, even though it's our honeymoon time. He left without warning. I was waiting for him the whole night long. I called him many times but his phone was dead.

The nights and days that he will come home to our house can only be counted on the fingers of my hands. Once again he comes home drunk or not so angry. Or he's just really cold.

"Hey sis are you stupid? Are you alright?" My sister answered worriedly, when she saw that I was an idiot.

"Ah, yeah. I was just thinking about the work you know being the CEO in our hospital was not easy." I just said. "Ah, by the way ate. I have to go because I still have duty. Bye I love you."

"Ok I love you too sis."

Then I ended the video call. And I let out a deep breath. I was just lying when I said I was on duty now. Truth is I'm going to Nate's condo unit. I hope he stays there if he doesn't sleep here.

When I arrived at his condo unit, it's already 9 in the evening and I know by this time he's home.

I ring the doorbell twice, before the door open. It's still in a tuxedo. Indicates that he will just arrive. His facial expression remain blank, and stared coldly at me. He looked at me from head to toe.

I waved my right hand and smiled sweetly at him.

"What are you doin 'here?"

"Visiting my husband who run away home, I guess?" I answered his question.

I was about to enter when he blocked the door.

"And where do you think you're going? It's not your house Ellesa." He said coldly as he forced himself to block the door.

"Yeah I know this is not my house. But it's your condo, and you're my husband. What's yours is mine. So this is also my condo unit." I said casually. And wink at him.

"Get out"

"No way! After I walked a thousand miles, and climbed at the twenty fifth stairs for Lang to reach this unit of yours, I waited for almost thirty minutes before you opened your door. Then will you just let me go? How dare you?" I complained in front of him. I almost stamp my feet because of irritation.

But he stay still. And stared coldly at me.

"Don't fool me Ellesa. I know you have a car, and there's an elevator up to this floor." He said with menace.

"Ok, I just dropped by, and bring some food for dinner." I said eagerly as I raised my left hand where the plastic bag contains with food I cooked earlier rested.

"I know you haven't eaten yet that's why I cooked foods for us. So .... Can I come in now?" I said in a softer voice with matching puppy eyes. So that he will let me in.

He looked down at what I was carrying. And he looked away.

"I already ate." But there's a loud growl sound came from his stomach.

"Oh! Yeah you've already eaten. I have to go. I just give the food I cooked to the urchin outside." I said full of sarcasm. I was about to walk away, when he stopped me.

"Ok fine. Come in." He said. And the door opened wide so I entered immediately.

******* CONTINUATION *****

And I rolled my eyes inside her condo.

I was welcomed by cream colored walls. There's a sofa that compliments with a glass coffee table. And a huge flat-screen TV.

"Where's your kitchen?" I asked him, after scanning his living room.

Then he leads me to his kitchen. I scanned his kitchen and winced at what I saw. There's a lot of take out boxes littered on the kitchen counter.

I pointed the boxes in front of us, and looked back at him before I placed on the table what I was carrying.

"Really babe? Don't you ever cooked?" I stared at him, appalled.

"Too busy to do that." He said coldly.

He stared at me, his gaze dropped from my lips down to my chest. He averted his eyes when he saw me staring at him.

And started to walked back to the living room. What happened to that guy?

I just shrugged and started to prepare the food, and utensils. I prepared afritada and adobo for dinner.

After a couple of minutes, I called him.

"Babe .... Dinner's ready."

I heard footsteps coming from the living room. And I saw Nate, he's now wearing a plain gray v-neck t-shirt that hugs his god-like body and well-toned muscle. My eyes traveled down and there I just found out that he was wearing boxer shorts, something bulging inside his boxer, and I was no longer a child so I didn't know what it was. I gulped hard and couldn't believe it, bat The size I guess? Is that why it was so painful when we did Yung ano?

"Done checking?" He said in a low voice.

My cheeks grew hot when I realized I was staring at the lower part of his body.

I cleared my throat because my throat seemed to be drying up.

"Ah yeah. Let's eat." I just said and smiled. What's the point of denying it?

He smirked. And walked over to the table and sat in the chair in front of me. And started eating.

"Why aren't you coming home?" I break the silence.

He looked at me for a moment, then dropped to my lips. He averted his eyes.

"This is my house." His answer was simple. And it blew up again.

I rolled my eyes. "But we already have a house."

But he did not answer me. It just kept eating.

After we ate I set the table, while he was just looking at me while leaning against the door frame.

I washed the dishes and cleaned the whole kitchen. I was too busy cleaning the kitchen, so I didn't notice that he was still looking at me.

I sat tiredly in the chair.

"Hi babe, have you been there before?" I said tried to suppress my tiredness and he smiled.

He just stared at me and went down again. He looked at my lips. I bite my lower lip. "Yes? Do you need anything?"

He averted his eyes again. What happened to him? He didn't speak and just walked to the refrigerator and got some water. I just watched him walk towards me.

"Here." He handed it to me and I immediately took it and drank it.

"Thank you." And he smiled.

He just nodded and walked back to the living room, I followed. I caught him watching T.V., he just looked at me for a moment and then went back to TV. He looked at me. I walked towards him and I sat next to him.

He stood up and turned off the TV. He walked towards the door, I guess his bedroom door. What happened to him. It's like he's avoiding me.

I followed. And I found him lying on his bed.

"Babe, I'm just going to sleep here, huh? It's already night, isn't it." I said softly.

It did not speak. Silent means yes. I looked at my dress. Ok I'm still wearing my maroon pencil cut dress. That was very close to my body.

"I'll borrow a dress too." I couldn't wait for him to speak, maybe he's asleep.

I went to her closet and looked for clothes I could wear. When I made my choice I immediately took it.

I was stunned when I confronted him and I bumped into a hard chest.

"Who told you that you can borrow my clothes?" He said that coldly. And looked at me wickedly.

"Husband, whether you lend it to me or not, I'll still take it." Gently I said.

"Goodnight for now." and kissed her on the lips. I felt it was stunned and did not move immediately.

I smiled. I was about to leave, but he stopped me. And turned in front of him then crushed by a kiss. Now I'm stunned again.

He bit my lower lip, so I was aroused. He used that opportunity to entered his tongue in my mouth. He stopped and whispered in my ear.

"You know what I've been holding back, I tried to avoid you, but you kept on coming. So better prepare for the consequences." He said something. His voice was hoarse, and it brings shiver down my spine. He smirked.

And he continue kissing me. But this time, it's a rough and wet kiss.
