Chapter 5 arranged marriage

Chapter 5

"Tell us the truth Akira, if you are really married to Keroz" Sahaya said to me seriously so I looked at him.

"Maybe it's just your joke time with us" Fritz said and took a sip of the coke he was holding but I shook my head.

"It's true guys, but we're just an arranged marriage" I said softly to the two of them.

"But sis, you're lucky, imagine you're married to one of the richest men in the world" Fritz said to me then laughed so Sahaya and I also laughed.

"Not at all"

We immediately returned to the university because it was 12:56 and we might be late. When we got there, there were only a few of my classmates so we went to our seats and I just talked on the cell phone for a while.

It was half past one when the prof arrived, so I put my cell phone in my bag because he started to discuss.

When our class was over, I went out and took a taxi home. I didn't say goodbye to Keroz because I knew he was busy.

When I was in the mansion, I stopped in the living room because we had a familiar visitor. He looked at me so I saw who it was.

"Akira" said Aunt Livian happily and hugged me.

"Aunt" I said and hugged her too.

"Did you go home yet?" I asked. "No, how are you?" he asked me but I just smiled.

"I'm fine Aunt"

"Mom your here" We turned back because someone spoke at the door, we saw Keroz and... wait Ivette? What is Ivette doing here? why is he here?

"Aunt" Ivette said and hugged Tira Livian, I wonder why she is here. I looked at Keroz who was just standing and also looking at me, I looked away when he approached me but I went to the other sofa.

I don't hate him but it's like that, because I can't forget what he did earlier in the SSG Room. We didn't talk until dinner.

But I feel like eating alone because of what I see. I feel out of place because Ivette and Tita Livian are close, I can't send Ivette away because first of all I don't own her and I'm just a wife in the role of the heir of Villafuerte.

"Auntie, why is Akira here? Is he an assistant?" Ivette asked Tita Livian who was eating, Aunt stopped because of that, Keroz and I looked at each other but I just avoided it.

Aunt Livian smiled before answering."well, she is my son's wife" Aunt Livian said with a smile, even Ivette was shocked to hear.

"What!!" he shouted and let go of the spoon he was holding, he stood up so we looked at him.

"Why? Is there something wrong with that?" aunt asked and drank, she just shook her head then sat down but looked at me with an angry look, I just avoided it and continued eating.

"Thanks for the dinner Aunt" Ivette said smiling and kissed Aunt on the cheek. "Bye Keroz" He was about to kiss Keroz on the cheek but I just looked straight at them, Keroz seemed to notice that so he avoided Ivette and looked at me before turning his gaze to the person in front of him.

"no need to do that" Keroz promised Ivette emphatically, Ivette just smiled and then said goodbye but first she turned to me and looked at me straight, Aunt Livian also said goodbye because she was going to their company.

Keroz and I were the only ones left so I went upstairs first, he called me but I ignored him so I just went straight upstairs to the room.

"Akira, why are you ignoring me?" I didn't notice that he was following me. I sat on the bed and looked at him, raising my eyebrows to look at him.

"do you need?" I asked flatly.

"why are you ignoring me?" he asked again and there was a trace of surprise on his face because of what I asked.

I stood up and ignored him, I went to the Terrace to avoid him but he still followed me.

"Akira" he called me but I ignored him as if I was thinking about something.

"Akira Jade Ferrante Villafuerte"

Ignore him Akira!

"Mrs. Villafuerte"

I still don't turn around and pretend I'm looking at someone. He still held my hand but I still didn't look at him.

He even rubbed my hand. "Akira love please let's talk" He said pleadingly.

I looked at him when I noticed that he was crying, but my eyes almost widened when he immediately touched my cheek and brought his face close to mine, I was about to speak but he already stuck his lips to mine.

Shit! my first kiss

I noticed the softness of his lips, his kiss gradually deepened and we lost our breath. I pushed him because I was out of breath.

He came closer to me and touched my cheek before looking directly at me.

"I-im sorry if I did that" He apologized for what he did and then bowed.

We were just here on the terrace and watching the surroundings.

"I'm sorry if I yelled at you earlier and didn't take sides" he tried to smile at me but I just nodded.

"Why? Who is Ivette?" I asked him because I noticed that they were afraid of that girl, I mean those students at VU.

I know he has nothing to fear

"Ivette came from a wealth family, She was the one we raced to become a model in the university so she became famous and she is also the queen of VU last 4 years ago" He told me, that's why many people are afraid of him because he's rich, okay?

"so you sided with him too?"

He stopped at what I said and could not speak. "n-no its not like that" He stuttered and tried to hold my hand but I waved it away.

"It's fine with me if he's on your side, who am I to you, right?" I didn't make it obvious that I was sulking at him as if I didn't care.

He didn't speak and just bowed." I'm ju"I couldn't continue what I said because he immediately pulled me, he grabbed my waist and brought me closer to him, I tried to push him but he immediately kissed me, I was shocked by what he did so I tried to push him but he pressed his kiss on me more.

He also willingly let go of our kiss so I almost lost my breath because of the duration of his kiss, I looked at him badly for what he did.

"I'm sorry if I did that" he apologized.

I avoid looking at him because I feel my cheeks turn red when I look at him.

"Why was Ivette here earlier?"

He took a deep breath before answering, he even smiled sparingly that I didn't reciprocate because I looked at him seriously.

"M-my parents and her parents know each other and they are business partners in the company, that's all" He answered sparingly so I raised my eyebrow at him.

"That's why you look like that" I said warningly, his forehead still frowned because he didn't understand what I said but I just made him suffer.

"so... are we okay now?" he said and smiled like a child so I just glared at him.

"no"

He stood up when he heard what I said and looked at me in surprise.

"What!? Why?"

"sleep outside" I told him then pushed him outside he was just stupid and didn't know what to do. He realized when he was outside, I was about to close the door but he stopped me so I looked at him badly.

"You have no right to do this to me, Akira" he forces himself to push the door.

I voluntarily released the grip on the door so he could enter freely.

"okay fine I'll sleep outside" I told him and took the blankets and pillows but he stopped me.

"No!, I will not allow you to sleep anywhere" he said seriously then took what I carried and put it back on the bed.

"I want to" I insisted, I almost screamed when he picked me up and laid me down.

"KEROZ!"

I screamed knowing we couldn't be heard downstairs because the room was sound proof. He immediately lay down next to me and closed his eyes with his hand still holding my waist, I tried to remove it but he tightened it even more.

"Keroz" I shook him and patted him on the cheek but he still didn't wake up, maybe he had already fallen asleep.

I just let our posture be like that because I was sleepy.

It's Friday so it's a bit boring to wear a uniform, I just wore a black long sleeve knitwear that I paired with brown high waisted pants and sneakers.

I've only been here at VU for four days now but I also know a few people from here, like Belle our councillor, Clover our Vice Mayor in Class 1/C who is temporary Mayor for now because our Mayor is busy.

"Did you review?" Clover asked us, still holding a binder and whispering.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Gaga! We will have a graded recitation later with Maam Castro" Fritz said then hit me so I looked at him badly.

"RECITATION!"

I even screamed at what I heard. That's why they were quiet when we entered, they were actually revising for the recitation.

Ma'am Evangeline Castro is known to be a very strict teacher, you almost call everyone a saint just so you don't get zero in her recitation and quiz.

The nervousness I felt doubled after our class ended in the first period.

We were even shaking when the one we were waiting for entered.

Ma'am Castro

"Good morning Class 1/C I guess you reviewed last night so I hope all of you got a high points" Maam Castro greeted and adjusted the index card she was holding.

No one spoke to us because we were all nervous.

"Good morning Ma'am" he said when he was outside, I was very surprised when Keroz and his friends entered.

The other women screamed but Maam Castro scolded them.

Haha! Dsurv

Keroz and I looked at each other again but he sat in his chair so I kept looking straight ahead.

"Okay Lets begin" maam announced so I just listened.

"Lets start with... Summer Kalimaya" read Maam Castro and looked at all of us, one of Ivette's henchmen stood up.

Ohhh! Her name is Summer

"Okay Summer, What is the meaning of ABM and explain ABM?" Maam Castro seriously promised Summer that she had swallowed several times.

"A-BM means is Accountancy Business Management Ma'am and A-A-BM I-is-"

"What! Dont tell me Ms. Kalimaya you don't know what is ABM" said Maam angrily and slammed what she was holding on the table.

"N-no M-sorry I-its not like t-that"

"Then What?! What? You just take your strand, right?" Maam shouted and threw the papers on the table so that they scattered on the floor.

Ivette stood up in silence. "A-ahh Ma'am I know the answer" he said and raised his hand so we looked at him.

"Of course Ivette you know the answer because this is so basic for the students of ABM, Summer Kalimaya your wealth is useless if your cock is empty!" Maam Castro shouted furiously.

"your getting into my nerves, Ms. Kalimaya" Maam still held on to her senses and tried to calm herself down.

"Okay next" Maam pulled out again and read the card that was obtained. "Akira Ferrante" my other classmates looked at me so I stood up and prepared myself.

"Okay Akira, what do you do when your a businesswoman?"

I smiled a little before answering "Convey assertiveness by being fearless, speaking with authority and purpose. Adopt a confident manner, deal with any criticism rationally and be calm, cool and considered." I answered confidently, I also saw the astonished looks of my classmates.

Maam Castro smiled at my answer. "Very Good, Ms. Ferrante" Maam said and clapped her hands so the rest of her classmates also clapped, except of course the envious ones.

"Better next time to review" Maam heard and took her things. "Goodbye class, you may now take your recess" Maam said to us and went out so we went out.

"Wow, that's great, you're good at it" Fritz complimented me and ate a burger.

"yes, I thought you didn't do a review?" Sahaya asked me in surprise before taking a bite of siomai.

It's true that I didn't do a review because I was still answering with Keroz, and I didn't even know that we had a recitation.

"stock knowledge" I answered sparingly and smiled arrogantly.

"wow huh, look at the arrogance" Fritz said and looked at me in amazement.

"Guyss, do you want to come?" Sahaya suddenly said as he focused on his binder.

"where?"

"at the museum"

Fritz and I looked at each other before nodding so we finished the purchased snacks.

When we entered the welcoming entrance I saw a wide variety of exhibits and artifacts on display like paintings, sculptures, historical artifacts, fossils, and more.

"Wow" Fritz was still amazed at what he was seeing, of course me too especially when I saw the exhibitions here.

"let's go around"

We just followed Sahaya who was walking ahead, he was still holding a folder and a ballpoint pen..
