Chapter 1
Sarah's POV
I broke the door of Yuan's office as soon as I entered it.
I thought I would see him again at our wedding but I didn't. Dad is a pest. Dis time sent me here. He knows we have a gig today at Carat Bar. It's just annoying.
I even kicked the door because of my frustration.
The two people who were kissing on the sofa were surprised and that's it.
Yuan suddenly stood up in shock causing him to push the woman on top of him to the floor.
Inrolled my eyes heaven wards and looked away.
"Could you please leave for a moment? I need to talk to him" I said to the woman.
Annoyed, he picked up his clothes and quickly put them on.
"Later babe" he promised Yuan mischievously and looked at me badly.
She flipped her hair then walked out.
Yuan adjusted his seat and turned to look at me.
He looked pissed? It seems to be angry and annoyed. Maybe he was annoyed with me because of my sudden entry. You're probably hooked.
The type I'm gonna cum babe. Then the man will answer Cum with me babe. Then they growl together. That's it. Sir ganern!
Okay, stop with those dirty ones. This is like a man. Is it enough to do live porn inside his office?
"So, what are we going to talk about?" It's a casual question.
I sat on the single seater sofa and took his boxers that were resting on the back of the sofa while kicking them.
"Wear that"
A naughty playful grin appeared on his face.
"Why? Affected?" It playfully promised and put on my stoned boxers.
I looked at him then raised my eyebrow.
"Do I look like I'm affected? Its just that it's not normal for two people to talk wearing nothing" I answered.
It just grinned at me and nodded. But I know he doesn't believe it.
It's up to him. Is it my problem if he doesn't believe me?
"So what, why did you come here? And how did you know where I was? Are you stalking me? Do you like-"
"Chill men, I'm just here because Daddy made me come here. Its not like I wanted to. Plus your mommy has something to say" I cut him off.
He folded his arms and rested his arms on his knees. He seems to be thinking.
I looked at him. He's also handsome, seriously. Its body is beautiful. He has 6 pack abs and his biceps are big. Manly.
His hair is long, it's shoulder length but it suits him.
I wonder if I could braid his hair someday.
His eyes are wide, his nose is sharp and his kissable lips are pinkish.
No pores can be seen on his cheeks. It is very white and very smooth.
I wonder if someday, I could make up those cheeks.
Okay, that's enough.
"Done checking?" This is a playful question.
"Yeah. Why?"
He was slightly surprised by my answer.
Not what your expecting huh? Are you expecting to deny that I am checking you? Nah, I'm not a typical girl.
"So, what does mommy say?"
I opened the slingbag I was wearing and took out the list of what Aunt Diana, her mommy, told me and read it.
"He says a lot so he writes. Number one-"
I cleared my throat and turned the paper over.
"Stop being a playboy you!!" I shouted.
He winced and covered his ears.
"Damn it! Why are you shouting woman?" It annoys me.
"The letters are in caps lock and there is a punctuation mark at the end" I explained.
It winced then tsk-ed.
"Two, No girls allowed in your condo, office and etcetera. Number three, No bars. Respect your fiancee. Do not shout at her. Don't scold her either. Always be nice to her-"
"Wait wait wait, mommy makes everyone say that?" It asked and grabbed the list I was holding.
He read it one by one and cursed several times.
"Fuck it! No sex?!" It was hysterical.
okay? What about now? Can't he live without sex? Let him be himself if he really can't!
Okay, I said enough with those dirty thoughts.
"And oh, she's even telling me something. She said, be a good boy Yuan or else I'll take the collections of your car" I added.
"Fuck it. She's manipulating my life again" he whispered and grabbed the list he was holding.
I looked at his office to find out. I don't think he's done being cheap.
His office is beautiful, simple yet the place shouts with elegance. The items here are obviously going to be loved.
Here in the part where the sofas are placed, there are two paintings hanging.
Then on the table, on the wall, there are hanging instruments.
There is a guitar and an electric guitar.
"You knew how to play the guitar?" I will ask. It looked at me. Annoyance can still be seen on his face.
I shrugged and turned the guitar over. Oh well. He will take care of his life. I don't care
"That's just a display there. I'm not really into instruments. I hate music"
My mouth formed an o. Maybe when it hears my voice it will fall in love with music.
"Oh well, that's all I came here for. Ciao!" I said goodbye and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something.
"And oh. Your Daddy also tells you to be a good boy or else you can't buy cars to add to your collections and he won't give you the limited edition car. That's all" I added.
I looked at it. His face was really annoyed.
I smiled at him then went out. He can't blame me. I'm just saying what I was told earlier.
Oh well, like I said before, I don't care about him. So no biggie.
"Don't you have any sensible clothes here? Why are there only checkered shirts, loose shirts and different jeans in your cabinet?"
I ignored it and continued watching anime on my laptop.
"Don't you have a dress here?" It irritated me and rummaged through my cabinet.
Wish you luck men. Hope to see something there.
He threw my other polo on the bed while he threw my jeans on the floor.
Okay, take care of that.
"Wait, why are you here at my condo?"
"My mom asked you to pick you up because there is a family dinner later" she said indifferently and continued to throw away my clothes.
"My brothers will be there and so is your twin and her fiancee" he added.
I grinned then closed my laptop.
"Oh, Samantha and her oh so loving fiancee Derik" I said sarcastically.
Derik is not like that. She is also a woman like this fiancee of mine.
"Ahh! Gotcha!" It screamed and pulled out a red dress from my cabinet.
I frowned. Wait, that's not mine!
"Here, put it on" he said while throwing the clothes at me.
"No way!" I promised quickly and threw the clothes back here.
He sighed and sighed.
"Wear this" it said firmly.
I looked at him straight and shook my head.
"I promised. It seems that he is bored because of my stubbornness.
Well, I don't want to! If she wants, she can wear it. It seems to be his type.
I stopped suddenly when he crawled over to my bed and made me lie down.
"wear it"
"No way! Who are you to order me!" I'm crazy here.
His face became more annoyed and seemed to be losing patience.
"Fine" he said seriously and immediately tore the t-shirt I was wearing.
My eyes widened and I immediately punched him in the jaw, when he heard what I was going to say, he immediately stopped my hand.
He grabbed it as well as one of my hands and raised it above my head.
"H-hey! What the hell!" I screamed and struggled.
"You said you don't want to wear it. Choose, it's either you'll wear it or I'll wear it myself"
I looked at him badly. Why, this man is also trying my patience.
"One" he said coldly.
I gasped when I felt him undoing the button of my jeans.
"Stop! Stop!" I control it.
"Fine! I'll wear that fvcking dress" I said firmly.
I saw how his lips curved into a grin.
It's gone over me.
As for me, I took the blanket to cover my exposed body.
Damn him!
I jumped up and took the dress straight to the bathroom.
fuck! Why am I wearing this dress?
And that man. It's really draining my patience.
"I really don't like him. He's a leche. A big leche" I whispered as I faced the mirror.
"I heard that!"
Wow! Your hearing is sharp men!
I went to the bath tub and took the soap.
I peeked at the door and my eyes searched for it.
"You're done-"
He didn't finish what he had to say when I suddenly threw the soap at him. Bull's eye! Spleen on the forehead.
"Why you. Get out of there woman!" I shouted and was about to go inside when I suddenly closed the door and locked it.
I just grinned because of what I did. You thought, you're a winner. Well, a Sarrah Lei Ariaga never fails.
Get stiff!
I took off my clothes and put on a dress. I winced. It's just a spaghetti strap and the knee length is up to the knee. It doesn't have many designs. It's simple.
"I look like a slut" I said badly as I looked in the mirror.
I looked at the cabinet inside my bathroom.
I took the red sleeve and put it on. I also wore a blazer so my back wouldn't be exposed. Then I was wearing knee high white socks and black sneakers. Then for the final touch, I also wore a beanie.
I looked in the mirror again and smiled.
Perfect!
"How long have you been?"
"Did I tell you to wait for me?" I said sarcastically and opened the door.
It stared at me and looked me over from head to toe.
"What the hell are you wearing?!"
I rolled my eyes and gave him a bored look.
"Isn't it obvious? It's a dress" I answered here He gritted his teeth as he approached me and immediately pushed me into the bathroom.
"Damn it! Go change your clothes!" He shouted before closing the door.
"Wht the. I wanna marry a simple woman. Not a psychopath one"
I just smiled and took off my clothes to put on jeans and a loose shirt.
I win.

Chapter 2
I adjusted the polo tied around my waist. I was wearing ripped jeans and a gray loose shirt. Then I brought my guitar with me because after this dinner, I'm going straight to the bar for our gig.
Now that's more like it. It's not as ugly as that dress. I feel more comfortable in this dress.
"Are you going to dance?" It's a sarcastic whisper to me.
I raised my eyebrow and strained it.
When a polo is tied around your waist, will you immediately dance? Can't you just style it?
"And why are you carrying your guitar with you? It's a sight to behold"
"Excuse me, did I tell you to look at me? If you get wet, just close your eyes so you don't see me!" I yelled at him and was the first to enter the restaurant where we would have family dinner.
The frowning mom was the first to look at me. She is wearing a simple dress that somewhat resembles the dress that Yuan wore earlier.
Right. I was right to suspect. He put it in my cabinet.
Next to it is Daddy who, as usual, is still wearing a business suit. Next to Daddy is Yuan's mommy, then his daddy and his two brothers.
I didn't want to sit in the opposite seat of mommy.
"What's with the guitar Sha?"
"Gig" I said briefly. Yuan suddenly came to my side. Opposite Daddy's seat while the one next to it is my twin then his fiancee.
"Hi twinnie"
Okay, plastic.
"Hey" I responded indifferently.
He would have talked to me when he suddenly started eating. Thank goodness! Save by the food. I can't get over the plasticity my twin shows whenever we are with others.
Don't get me wrong, I love my sister but I just hate her attitude. It always wants to look nice and then I'm the black sheep of the family
It's up to him. Is that my problem?
"By the way Sam, how is the new clothing line in? I heard you opened another branch of your boutique there" I heard Uncle, Yuan's Daddy, ask Sam.
"It's fine Uncle Actually, the clothes in the boutique sold out immediately. It's the first day, the sales are already high" he said proudly.
I just scoffed and focused on the vegetable salad I was eating.
Samantha is a designer. It owns one of the most famous boutiques all around the world. while me
"How about you Sarah?" Uncle turned to me "I'm an architect but"
"But he ignores being an architect. He's more focused on playing music in a pipitsuging bar" Daddy said indifferently.
I just rolled my eyes. I seem to be losing my appetite.
"Why don't you imitate your twin? She's sophisticated and has a good job?" It's still connected.
I stood up and picked up my guitar.
Without saying a word, I left the restaurant because maybe the conversation would lead to something else. I just hate being compared.
I am not him.
I sighed and answered my cellphone when it suddenly vibrated in my pocket.
"Where are you Sarah?" Van, my half Filipino half Japanese member in the band, immediately opened up to me.
"Start without me Van. I can't make it" I answered and immediately hung up.
I sat here on the bench I saw almost near the restaurant.
"It's chilly, aren't you coming in?" I looked behind me and saw Yuan standing there with a smile.
"Nah, I don't feel like eating anymore. How about you, why are you here?" I asked and narrowed my eyes at him.
He just tsked and pushed me a little to sit on the bench.
"I also lost my appetite. You're gone," he said angrily.
I just make faces towards him and took my guitar.
"Cool guitar. Where did you buy that?"
"I designed it myself then I made it" I answered then started strumming it.
"I still can't believe you're an architect. It's not obvious. You look like you're just hanging around"
I stopped playing the guitar and looked at it in disbelief.
"Seriously? In terms of what you can describe to me, are you still hanging out?" I exclaim here. He just grinned then nodded.
"Don't you know that I designed the famous resort in Boracay? I also designed the building of a modeling company and I also designed one of your hotels that is well known today"
It just looked into space as if it wasn't interested in what I was saying. Seriously?
Annoyed, I stood up and was about to leave his grip on my penis.
"What "Play a song"
I frowned and withdrew my hand.
"Excuse me?"
"Play a song. Your good with guitars right?"
I looked at him strangely. I thought it didn't like music.
"What song? Do you want to jam?" I asked this question but he just looked at me seriously.
He tapped the bench beside him motioning me to sit.
I sighed and sat down. I fixed my guitar because the dear prince ordered me to play for him.
I cleared my throat then started strumming.
"Somebody told me you were leavin, I didn't know. Somebody told men you're unhappy, but it doesn't show. Somebody told me that you don't want me no more, so you're walkin out the door "
I looked at it. Just listening and staring at my guitar.
I just shrugged then continued singing.
"Let me be the one to break it up so you won't have to make excuses. We don't need to find a set up where someone wins and someone loses. We just-"
I stopped singing when he touched my hand that was scratching the guitar strings.
"Why did you stop me? You fell in love with my voice, right?" I'm teasing here.
"No" he answered and stood up.
"Your voice is ugly" he added and walked quickly.
I stood up suddenly and quickly put my guitar in the case.
"What did you say?! Hey! Get back here! We're not done yet!"
Yuan's POV
"Hey! Open it!"
I've been knocking here for about 30 minutes, but Sarrah still doesn't open the door.
I held my breath. I cracked his password a while ago with the help of his mommy and why, I'm in front of his room knocking like a fool.
"Sarah!" I shouted and kicked the door.
I heard a roar from above it. It's a sign that with just a few kicks, this pest door will fall.
"If you don't come out, I'll break down your door!" I threatened but still nothing.
I clenched my jaw in annoyance and kicked the door until it finally gave way.
I stepped inside then scanned her room but there was no sign of her.
Ahhh. So I'm like a fool. I've been knocking here for a while and there's no one?
I kicked his study table in annoyance and was about to leave when I heard a splash of water.
"I close my eyes, and I can see. The world that's waiting up for me, that I call my own"
It stopped singing and suddenly sneezed followed by coughing.
"They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy. They can say, they can say I've lost my mind. I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy. We can live in a world that we design"
It stopped again and coughed incessantly.
I approached the bathroom door and knocked softly.
"Who is that!"
"It's me Yuan" I introduced myself and turned the doorknob.
"Don't! Don't open it!" It whined and coughed again.
What's with her? Is she sick?
"Are you sick?"
"no" Yes. Very obvious.
"I'm going in" I said and opened the bathroom door.
It kept weak and threw the soap at me.
I ducked quickly to avoid getting hit.
Sh!t. Soap again?
"Go away!" He screamed as the shower curtain covered him.
I looked at it and shook my head.
He was pale as his body was immersed in the bathtub.
"A-go! I'm naked!" It squeals.
But I didn't follow him. I came closer to him and touched his forehead.
"H-hey!" He said in shock and walked away "Tsk. You're hot"
"Probably alive!" Philosophizing but he just coughed again.
"Why are you here soaking in the bathtub? You should be resting" I said and opened the curtain but I just received a punch in the jaw from him.
"Naughty!" He screamed and almost blushed from embarrassment.
I just snickered and held my jaw.
Even if it's really a girl. We've only been together for a few weeks and feel close right away. Still punching.
"Go away!" It annoyed me.
"Can you stand up?"
"What do you think of me, cripple?" Again with the sarcastic tone.
She tried lifting her body but it just fell into the tub.
"See" I said then scoop her immediately.
It stayed and quickly covered his future as well as his bottom.
I just shook my head and casually walked out of the bathroom.
I put her on the bed and went straight to her cabinet.
I took his under garments, pajamanat a shirt "Here, get dressed. I'll just go out first" I said and went out of his room.
I went to the kitchen and took medicine there.
It's good that there is already cooked porridge here so I won't have trouble cooking anymore.
I also found medicine for its fever.
"Here, eat this then drink your medicine so you can rest"
He sat down weakly and took the bowl of porridge.
"Thank you" he whispered and ate it.
After he finished eating the porridge, I made him drink medicine.
It's a miracle and it doesn't bother me anymore. Is this the time when a Sarrah Lei Ariaga got sick?
Be kind?
"Can I ask something?" Untag it while closing its eyes.
"Why do you hate music?"
I just smiled and stroked his hair.
"I just hate it" I answered. He snorted and adjusted his bed.
"Thanks Yuan" she mumbled before going to sleep.
"Don't mention it. Just now" I promised. She just smiled and shook her head.
"Just for now. Tomorrow we will fight again "I smiled and patted his forehead.
"Ouch! Don't flip it! It hurts!" It complained and became aware. He snorted and rubbed his hurt forehead.
"Why don't I cut it?"
He raised his fist and widened his eyes at me.
"Don't you dare" it threatened. I laughed softly and ruffled his hair.
"Get some rest" I ordered.
He nodded and closed his eyes again.
"good girl"

Chapter 3
Sarah's POV
"Go ahead" I said to Yuan and pushed him a little.
"Don't be naughty. Is it my fault that there is only a single bed in the hospital?" He said and moved a little.
Of course! If I wasn't afraid of the hospital, I might have kicked it out earlier.
I didn't know because I expected my fever to rise suddenly. I hope I'm not soaking in the bath tub. My cough is getting worse.
It's a good thing this guy didn't leave. He immediately took me to the hospital and right now, he's with me first because my mom and dad aren't there yet But I doubt that they will come. Daddy is busy as always. The only thing that matters here is Sam and his business is over. I can do it.
Then mommt, I don't think that can go either. Too busy taking care of Samantha's upcoming wedding.
The hell I care. I can take care of myself. I don't need them.
"What time is it?" I asked Yuan as I turned my back to him and he did the same.
"it's 11:00"
I held my breath.
How many more hours? One? two? three? Okay, I know how to count.
"Sleep now. You need to rest so your pain doesn't get worse"
"I can't feel that if I close my eyes I will feel worse" I answered and sighed.
"Your really weirs. First, you soak in water because you're so hot, then you don't want to sleep because you'll feel worse. If you don't take medicine, you'll get better too? What is that, magic?"
The weak one laughed at this.
Am I really weird? Can't blame me. I grew up and live alone. Nobody taught me anything. That you can't soak in water especially if you have a high fever and are coughing. No one taught me to rest to make myself feel better.
Maybe I'm really weird.
"It's not my fault that I am weird. I grew up and survived on my own" I replied and sat on the bed to stretch.
I feel like I will get more fever if I lie down.
"Wait, what do you mean? So you're admitting you're weird?" It's a sudden question.
I just looked at him and smiled.
Fine, we won't fight right now because I'm sick, but once I'm feeling better, I'll make sure to scold you for the way you look for calling me weird.
Mwahahahahaha!
Okay, enough.
"Shut up. I'm going to sleep"
"Don't sleep sitting up. After all, you're weird," he interrupted again.
I looked at him evilly but he just smiled.
I can really kill now.
"Go to bed now" he said and pulled me to lie down on the bed.
"I don't want to! Just leave. Chupe!" I'm going to drive away from here because honestly, I'm a bad trip.
That's a lot.
"Aysus. My wife is sulking" he said playfully then hugged me tightly. The kind that I can't move anymore.
"What wifey! Crazy! Let go!" I grunt and struggle with it because it's true. I'm not comfortable with our situation.
What is one thinking?
"One, if you move I'll kiss you" he threatened but I didn't listen.
Who does he think he is to command me?
"two" "Three, Four, Five, Six. I know how to count. You want me to count to one hundred" I replied warningly.
"Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten. I also know how to count. If you don't stop, I will really kiss you"
What is this? Do you count? Game!
"Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen. I'm better at counting and I don't care about you so if possible, stay away from me!" I shouted here.
He gritted his teeth looking like he was starting to get bored.
Ha! You're bored
"Fine. You asked for it" he said and leaned over me.
I caught my breath and stopped.
"Fourteen, fifteen. I'm going to kiss you" he whispered.
My eyes widened and I was about to protest when I suddenly felt his lips touch mine.
I think my blood suddenly boiled and it went up to my face.
"Wanna play again?" It whispered.
I got back to my seat and quickly pushed it so the ending, it fell on the floor " it moaned.
I held my lips and looked at it.
"You! You're a thief!" I screamed and quickly threw a pillow at him.
"Wait, what thief?"
"You're a thief!" I screamed and threw things I got from the side table at it.
"Wait! What!"
Suddenly the door to my room opened and nurses and doctors entered.
"What's going on here ma'am?" The nurse asked while the other looked at the floor where the things I threw at Yuan were scattered.
"That! Catch that! That's a thief!" I said and gave Yuan a bad look.
"Wait? What did I steal? I didn't take your money and cellphone!"
"What did you steal? You leche! You stole my first kiss!" I read a book here at the same time.
It didn't dodge anymore so I hit it in the face "There! Catch that!" I ordered the nurses. They scratched their heads and looked at the doctor.
"Mr. Yuan, let's go out first" he politely said.
Yuan stood up and scratched his head to get out.
"Wait!" I stopped. Yuan looked at me annoyed.
"W-what. I'm not with you"
"So you don't know how to take care of yourself? That you can't soak in water when you cough and rest when you feel bad?" This is a question.
I rolled my eyes ceilingwards.
"Of course not! What do you think I'm greedy, innocent in everything? I just said that because no one took care of me when I was young because I wouldn't be hurt. Just once in a blue moon "Well that sucks. It's fun to be independent but sometimes, you have to be dependent too" he answered.
I took the comb and combed it through her hair which I was currently tying.
"Well sorry to burst your bubble but that's the last thing I'll do. I was born in an independent world. That I'm alone. You can't force people to do what you want. This is me so you better accept it hubby or else -"
"Or else what?" It cut off what I was going to say. I raised an eyebrow at him even though he couldn't see me.
"Or else I will ruin your face" I said sarcastically.
He chuckled a bit so his shoulders moved slightly.
What! I put down the comb and took its knot.
"Hold still. Your hair will be messy" I hissed then grabbed his hair harder.
It grimaced as it handed me the rope.
"What are you doing?" This question irritated me.
"I'm trying the french braid so don't mess around! I'm almost done!" I'm crazy here.
"This time, I'm really going to cut my hair "Don't you dare" I threatened and tied the end of her hair.
Her hair is beautiful! It is rare for men to have shoulder-length hair. Duuhh then he'll just waste it?
"I look like a girl" he grunted as he looked at the screen of his cellphone.
I giggled and took my phone.
"Yuan!" Call it. It turned to me when I clicked on the camera.
His eyes widened and he tried to grab my cell phone, but I quickly stood up from the bed and raised my hand holding my cell phone.
"Delete that or else-"
"Or else what? Your going to kiss me again? Go ahead! Kiss me! But don't regret that once you wake up, you will be the one in this hospital bed" I threatened.
He mockingly grins as if he is not afraid of my threat.
"Oh really?" He said grinning widely.
I made faces towards him then got off the bed.
No one will tell me what is right and what I should do and that's final.
"Fine. I'm just teasing you"
"Hahaha" I laughed sarcastically.
Go crazy! Not me.
"By the way, it's already six in the morning. Should I buy us breakfast?" This is a question.
As if on cue, my stomach suddenly rumbled. Oh well, I'm really hungry. I only ate porridge last night.
"I want rice then it's up to you at ul-" I was cut off when the door suddenly opened and three men entered.
I raised my eyebrows. What are these fools doing here?
"Sarah!" They called at the same time and actually came first.
These three men are my friends. Namely, Jacob the pianist ifiance, hesizer, Leslie the Drummer and Van the bassist and vocalist and me, I am one of the vocalist and guiatrist.
"We're so worried. What happened to you?" Jacob asked.
Wow! It's new! You are so worried about me I gently punched him in the jaw but he winced.
"What's that for?"
"Olol! Stop me with that draa of yours"
"I'm telling the truth! Right Van?"
Ayt, still looking for an ally.
"Actually no. You were off all night looking for girls" Van said which caused Jacob to frown.
"That's how you are! I don't want you anymore! I'm not his lab anymore" he said like a child so he received a slap from Leslie and Van.
"By the way Sarrah, who is that?" Leslie asked and Yuan sneered.
Oh! Is it still here?
"He's my-"
"I'm her fiance. Got a problem with that?"
Yuan's POV
"Damn it!"
It's cheap to punch the wall here in the parking lot.
What was I thinking? Why did I say that to his friends earlier?
I was just really pissed off because since they arrived, Sarrah has been rejecting me.
I'm not jealous. I'm just pissed off. I don't want to share someone's attention.
I want it, just mine.
I breathed a sigh of relief carrying the paper bag containing Sarrah and I's breakfast I would have knocked when I heard their laughter Are they still here?! It's time to be alone!
"Stop it Jacon. Your the reason why the woman choked you" said a man whose name was Leslie.
I heard Sarrah's laughter in their room.
And all of a sudden, everything became slow. As if I could no longer focus on the surroundings but only on his laughter.
Damn it. I'm crazy.
I shook my head and entered the room.
I remained poker face and placed the food on the table.
