The Governor's Obsession

"Please welcome, our dearest Governor–Governor Jackson Salcedo!"

I was almost deafened by the loud shouts and screams of the people around me after their beloved and one of the respected governors went on stage.

He is Jackson Salcedo, one of the most handsome and well-known politicians in the country. Many women chase him and the rest of them just don't want to undress in front of him for him to notice.

"Sh*t, Gov's really a hottie!" The woman behind me screamed.

"You said it! When I actually get married, I will sing about it every night." Second, the other one giggled, like it was just stupid.

I was secretly tormented by what I was hearing and was about to walk away but, unexpectedly, Sir Jackson and I met each other's eyes and from here I saw the meeting of his eyebrows so I quickly turned around.

I'm sure he's angry again because I disobeyed him. He told me not to get out of the car, but here I am outside. Because I'm bored and another thing is that he still has my cell phone so I really don't have anything else to worry about.

"Hey, aren't you Jackson's personal assistant?"

I was currently walking back to Sir Jackson's parked car when suddenly, a stranger approached me. He's smiling at me and if you look at him, he looks kind so I smile back at him.

"Hi. Ah, yes I am the Gov's personal assistant. Why?"

"Nothing. I always see you with Jackson, but only now did I have the chance to approach you." He had a long hand on his neck. He looks a little bit shy. "By the way, I'm Ivan, Jackson's friend." He, then, extended his hand, obviously asking for a handshake. I immediately accepted that.

"I'm Krizza. Nice meeting you, Sir Ivan." I politely said. It looks like he and Sir Jackson are not too far apart in age.

He chuckled. "You're too formal. Just call me Ivan, don't call me Sir."

"Okay-"

"Krizza."

Sir Jackson suddenly appeared in front of us, much to my surprise. "Sir!"

He just glanced at me with no emotion and turned to face Ivan who was just scratching his forehead.

"I was just meeting your P.A-"

"Stay away from my girl before I sh*ot your freaking head." Sir promised coldly while pulling me.

We were already inside his car when I realized the last thing he said. I don't know but I was suddenly terrified.

The weird.

KRIZZA'S POV

I simply glanced at Sir, but as usual his expression was blank again while looking directly at the road. He doesn't want us to be with anyone else in the car, so that's why he always drives even though he has a personal driver.

Sometimes I don't really understand the behavior of this boss of mine. He always tells me that he doesn't want to see me, but gets angry when I avoid him. There are also times when he threatens any man who tries to approach me – just like what he did to Ivan. I try to live with him and understand him but sometimes, its really hard. He's so possessive to the point that I forget what my real role is in his life.

Jia, who is his brother, told me that his older brother is like that to me and that only means one thing – his brother likes me. Tch. Sounds impossible, right? A handsome, hot, famous and rich governor will like a simpleton like me? Heist.

"Brother is in a bad mood again. What happened?" Jianna was immediately curious about me when Sir Jackson and I arrived at the mansion.

"He's always in a bad mood, so what's new?" I said and laughed softly. I, then, walked towards the kitchen to get something to eat. During the event that Sir attended earlier, I was really hungry, so now I deserve to eat a lot.

"Just remember, don't make your brother jealous because that's different from being jealous." It was a serious gesture from Jia who followed me to the kitchen area.

"Jealousy? Why would he be jealous, we don't have anything?" I'm confused. The people here at the mansion are really w-weird and one of them is Sir Jackson and his sister Jianna. What is being said is sometimes very impossible.

She smirked and shook her head. "In your three years here, you don't even really know your brother." He said last before he turned and left me here alone.

Suddenly, I lost my appetite so I decided to go up to my room, but before that I took my backpack that was left in the car and when I got it, I realized that it contained some of the papers that Sir had to sign, so I hurriedly went to his room to hand those papers to him.

I'm already outside his room and I'm still thinking if I should knock? Until now, I am still bothered by what Jia said to me - but then, I immediately remembered that I am STILL Sir and I have to do my job well for him. I will set aside everything that is in my mind and it is better to focus on work.

Yes, right. That's what I have to do.

First I took a deep breath and then knocked. I knocked for about three times but I didn't get a single response so I decided to turn the doorknob and it wasn't locked so I opened it slowly and the first thing that came to me was the silence. I roamed my eyes around but I didn't see Sir Jackson, maybe he is in his office room now.

I've decided to just leave these papers here in his room. I placed it neatly on the bedside table and was about to walk out – when suddenly I heard.. ugh*l? It sounds so sexy, d-mn.

"Ugh! You're so f*cking hot, Krizza. D-mn. I can't wait to own you!"

I was stunned at what I've just heard. Even if I don't see you, I'm not that innocent to not know what Sir is doing inside his bathroom.

But... Why did he mention my name? don't tell me...

KRIZZA'S POV

"What if, that Gov is obsessed with you?"

"Seriously, Keilee? Don't make fun of me," I chuckled lowly while taking a sip of the beer I had been holding.

We're here today at a bar to celebrate one of our friend's birthday and it's right because I also have a day off the next day so I'm free to enjoy tonight without thinking about work.

"Based on your stories, I can also say that Gov might be obsessed with you." Second is Jessa, the birthday girl.

"See? Whoever you talk to, will surely say the same thing." Keilee scoffed. "One of the hottest and most handsome governors is obsessed with the best fri-" I immediately shut her off by covering her mouth. It's so chatty, it's hard for anyone here to hear us, especially Sir Jackson's fan girls who are crazy about him. Maybe we'll suddenly get angry because of what these two friends of mine are saying.

"You're making too much of a career out of being numb!" The laughing behavior of Yuan, the only gay in our group.

I just rolled my eyes at them and didn't speak again. I just fucosed in drinking, hoping to forget Sir Jackson, even if only tonight. Ever since I heard him in the bathroom, calling my name while doing what you already know – my mind has never been quiet again.

I did try to distance myself from him but he was angry.

D*mn. I don't know what to do anymore!

"I'm just CR first." I said goodbye to my friends and immediately stood up. I almost got out of balance, but luckily Yuan was quick and caught me right away before I fell completely.

"That's it, bro! Be careful when you have time." It's an exaggerated screeching accompanied by squealing.

I just shook my head and then walked to the bathroom.

"Come on-"

"I can manage, Kei." I stopped Keilee who was about to get up to join me.

Since I've been drinking quite a bit, I'm staggering while walking but I'm still able to do it.

In the middle of the dancefloor where there were many people dancing I tried to squeeze in just to pass.

"Oh, you look so hot." The flirtatious attitude of the man I passed. Basing from his appearance I can say that he has a race. Thank you I know its movements e.

I ignored it and just continued walking – but I immediately stopped after feeling his hand that was now on my ass.

"Hey!" I tried pushing him but the p*sting didn't even budge, instead he violently pulled me and pressed me against him and that's when I felt his hard 'thing' down there. D-mn this h**ny guy!

He started kissing my neck like a hungry lion while his hand was traveling all over my body. Disgusting!

Before I could push it again- it suddenly fell to the floor which surprised me- but I was even more surprised after seeing Sir Jackson.

KRIZZA'S POV

"Sir!"

"I will f*ck* you for touching what's mine!" He screamed angrily and then mercilessly punched the man who had been harassing him earlier.

Because of that, we have already attracted attention and even more people are curious after the Gov is probably here and worst, he is beating someone.

There were those who were ready to surrender while others took out their cell phones and took videos. The others are women who seem to be thrilled as they watch Sir being beaten. Damn them! Thought they were in an action drama? Thank you!

"S-sir please, t-that's right." I'm begging you, but he doesn't seem to hear anything, instead he kicks the man hard who is now bathed in his own blood while gasping for breath.

He might even kill himself because of me, I'm afraid.

I was very grateful after spotting some of Sir Jackson's bodyguards who were now close to us. They immediately surrounded us and helped us out.

"You are all mine, Krizza. I will kill any man who tries to take you from me. Remember that." Sir Jackson whispered to me loudly when we got inside his car and then quickly drove away.

I wasn't immediately speechless but I could feel the fear gradually enveloping my system.

"What if, that Gov is obsessed with you?"

I remembered what Keilee had said earlier which made my fear even worse.

It's not right anymore.

KRIZZA'S POV

"Are you really not thinking! You're putting this family to shame!" Sir Mattias, Sir Jackson's father, shouted angrily.

Photos and videos taken last night inside the bar where Sir Jackson can be seen beating up the rude man are now widely circulated. According to the report we received earlier, the man is now in a critical condition due to the amount of punches and kicks he received.

I simply looked at Sir Jackson and I realized that he had been looking at me for a while because our eyes immediately met. I can see the strange sparkle in his eyes as he stares at me– or maybe I'm just imagining it?

I couldn't help but shake at the thought. Maybe it's the effect of lack of sleep, something I can only imagine. Thank you

I myself was the first to look away.

"Maybe you forget, you are a public figure and so it is important to maintain your good image as the governor." Sir Mattias spoke strongly while pointing at Sir Jackson who was just sitting in front of him and didn't seem to care about everything his father was saying.

"The election is coming up and I want you to fix this mess you got yourself into right away because it could affect our campaign." Sir Mattias said the last thing before he left Sir Jackson's office room.

Before completely leaving, he gave me a look that I immediately bowed. I know that he's blaming me for why his son is now involved in trouble. He just couldn't talk to me because Sir Jackson threatened him that there would be trouble when he scolded me.

Sir Jackson is really scary, even his own father he can threaten just because of me.

"Come here, Krizza."

I immediately looked at Sir Jackson after he called me. He motioned me to go to him, but I had second thoughts. Even now, the last things he said to me last night are still fresh in my mind, which sent shockwaves through my entire system.

"Krizza Denise."

I slightly flinched upon hearing his deep, baritone voice. I couldn't even look at him straight now because of the strange beating of my heart. I'm really scared.

"You know I hate waiting, right?" He coldly said so I immediately stepped closer to him and I was surprised by what he did next.

He grabbed my arm and made me sit on his lap. D-mn!

"T-just wait Sir-" I was about to stand up but he quickly stopped me. I could feel sweat forming on my forehead even though the air conditioner was on.

He started to smell my neck up to my ears and immediately all my hair stood up after feeling his hot breath.

"D-mn. I really love your smell, baby. It makes me calm." He said through a husky tone. I tried to get away from him but he's not letting me.

"Sir.."

"Always remember that you are mine and I can't wait to marry you, love."

I suddenly realized because of what I heard from him.

KRIZZA'S POV

I was also speechless for a few seconds because I was still processing in my brain the words I clearly heard from him.

"Kriz-" he was cut off by a sudden phone call from his cell phone. I heard him 'tsked' in annoyance before taking his phone that was on the table. I quickly stood up and distanced myself to give him privacy.

"I-I'll just go there first." I said goodbye and immediately turned around and was about to open the door – when he spoke again I stopped him.

"I'll give you some time to think, but remember.. I won't take no for an answer. I'll marry you whether you want it or not."

My chest pounded harder as I tightened my grip on the doorknob.

I left his office room without saying a word and immediately went straight to my room. I immediately locked the door the moment I entered.

That d-mn governor was really out of his mind! Does he intend to marry me? I'm a simple girl and in fact I'm not even among the women who are dead to him, the rest of whom are from rich and famous families.

So, why me? Why do I have to? Out of all those girls who are more willing to throw themselves at him– why does it have to be me?

D-mn you, Gov! You're driving me crazy!

"Krizza? Come on down, we're going to eat."

I heard a few knocks outside my door and nanny Meling's voice was what I heard. I wanted to tell him that I'm still full and I'll eat later – the case is that suddenly my stomach rumbled signaling that it was hungry and calling for food.

I just sighed. "Alright, Ya, I'll be next."

"Alright iha. We'll wait for you downstairs."

When I heard naya Meling's footsteps leaving, I just stood up and straightened myself. I tied my hair neatly then put some powder on my face. When I was satisfied with my order, I immediately went downstairs and went to the kitchen where nanny Meling was waiting for me.

"Do you know the gossip? Sir Jackson and ma'am Fayrah are getting married."

"Ma'am Fayrah, Congressman Antonio's daughter?"

"It's him! They're a thing, aren't they?"

I was suddenly stunned after hearing the conversation of some maids here in the mansion. I feel my chest beating fast for some unknown reason.

Is Sir Jackson getting married?

KRIZZA'S POV

Today is Sir Jackson's birthday. Everyone was so busy preparing for the party that will be held tonight right here at the mansion of the Salcedos.

"Izza, what do you think would be a good gift for my brother?" Jianna suddenly asked me. He has been looking at men's clothes for a while now, but so far he has not been able to choose anything. My legs are shaking from walking because actually we went to four more shops. We've been strolling around inside this huge mall for about three hours now.

I had planned earlier to help with the cooking, but Jianna suddenly asked me here. I have no right to refuse because he is Sir Jackson's brother.

"I don't even know what would be a good gift for your brother. I think your brother already has almost everything." my language

She just shrugged. "Indeed,"

We just looked at each other and I didn't even know what would be a good gift for Sir Jackson, something he would really appreciate?

"This one's perfect! What do you think, Izza?"

Jianna suddenly faced me and showed a black two piece.. wait, what? A two piece, really?

I laughed softly. "Don't say that's what you're going to gift to-" she immediately cut me off.

"Silly, of course not." She then rolled her eyes. "What I mean is, this is perfect for later, right? Remember, there's a pool party after the celebration."

I nodded my head. "Are you going to wear that? For sure it will suit you-"

"This is for you, Krizza. I'll buy it for you." He cut off what I was going to say with a wink.

I frowned and eventually shook my head one after another. "Na-ah. I would never wear something like that." I said turning my back.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. One hundred percent sure. You will never make me wear-"

"30k. I'll give you 30k when you wear it later."

I was immediately stunned because Jianna said that. I was about to deny the case when I suddenly remembered my family in the province. After all, 30k is also a lot of money, in addition to the purchase of Mother's medicines as well as my youngest brother Krizzel's allowance.

"What Izza, deal?"

KRIZZA'S POV

"OMG! You look so hot, Izza!"

I feel like I want to sink to the ground after seeing my reflection in front of the big mirror.

I'm now wearing the two-piece that Jianna had bought earlier. If it wasn't for Jianna's 30k offer, I wouldn't have dared to wear something like this 'cause for me, Its too revealing and I'm not really comfortable with it.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I joined the party?"

She rolled her eyes. "You're part of the family, so why are you shy?" This response instantly warmed my cheeks.

"And also, you have nothing to be ashamed of, especially with your sexy model body. Be proud, sister in law." Then she winked at me and I just shook my head.

Sister in law, really? Tch.

"Let's go downstairs, I'm excited about my brother's reaction!"

"Wait, I haven't worn the cover up yet-"

"There's no need for that, Izza my dear. You will also remove that when you go swimming."

I didn't do anything else before Jianna pulled me out of her room and then we went downstairs and went to the back of their mansion where the pool area is.

Suddenly I felt the cold air hit my skin causing me to immediately hug myself. H-ck. This is what I'm saying, I'm not really used to wearing a two-piece or any other 'revealing' swimwear.

"Everyone's looking at you, Izza."

I immediately looked around because Jianna said that and- she's right, I have almost all the attention of the people here, especially boys. Shame!

I could feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment. Why are they looking at me? What I'm wearing doesn't suit me?

"Wow, you look so fr-king hot, Krizza." Commented by a man who just appeared in front of me. Wait, he seems familiar..

"Ivan?" I exclaimed in disbelief after remembering its name. He's Ivan, the one who introduced himself as Sir Jackson's friend but was threatened by the latter.

He chuckled. "I'm glad you still remember me,"

I nodded. "It's good and you're here."

"Actually, I wasn't really invited. I just gate-crashed." He said and shyly scratched the back of his neck.

I was about to answer– when something caught my eye– sh*t! Sir Jackson!
