"Where are you going on your honeymoon?" An old businessman asked.
"Maybe Maldives." Khyrron answered simply. I just stood by his side and quietly listened to the conversations and smiled when someone greeted me.
Even though I'm not happy, I still give them a sweet smile.
"Congratulations! You two look perfect!" The lady screamed.
I gave her a smile, "Thank you." I said politely.
"Savannah is tired let me excuse ourselves. She's going to rest." Khyrron said goodbye, still looking at me, so I just said goodbye.
I'm also tired from standing here and wearing high heels. I'm not used to it yet!
Khyrron escorted me while walking to his car. The two of us riding in silence. I want to play but I'm nervous about this guy. I think he may not like it so I kept quiet. The silent is to loud!
I can't help but look at my HUSBAND now. His hair is clean cut, eyes are deep blue, perfect nose include his red lips. In short handsome! You can also see his sharp hand that never gets tired of looking at it. And you'll wish to hold it! His suit is perfect for his manly body too! My husband is too handsome but scary.
I guess he noticed that I was looking at him, so when he turned around, he looked straight ahead.
"Tsk. Stop staring." That look was only for a moment but I still felt the cold.
I'm still nervous and wondering whether to answer or just keep quiet? "I d-don't stare." Sh*t!
He just shook his head and parked the car because we had already arrived at his house. He got out and stood on the side of the car next to me. I wasn't even opened!?
"How gentleman my husband is." I murmured with sarcasm. He was just watching and waiting for me to come down. I struggle because of this gown. H*ck won't he even help me here?!
I could feel his annoyance so he just helped me down.
"Stup*d." He murmured but enough to hear. My eyebrows met until I entered our room. Yes really OUR ROOM.
He is facing the mirror and removing his tie. "Change your clothes. In 30 mins we'll go in Maldives. Your clothes are already packed. Move fast." He left the room not knowing where to go.
I didn't bother to shower so I went into the closet to change. I choose my black hoodie pair with a black jeans and black shoes and with my messy bun. That will do.
I was about to go downstairs to look for Khyrron when I met him on the stairs. "Why is that outfit? Are you going to jog?" He asked, eyebrows meeting.
Although surprised and nervous, "I'm c-comfortable with it a-and it's not just for jogging." I answered and looked away.
I don't understand his affection with me. That every time it's close, my heart beats faster and I'm always nervous. Why is that?
He got up and maybe went into the room so I completely went down to the living room. I saw our luggage next to the sofa where I planned to sit.
I turned around and stared at the whole house. I think he doesn't have maids? Or maybe in a day off? His house is big and has this modern design. Even if it's only two floors, it's wide and you know right away that it's rich.
I was busy checking the design of this house when his voice made me jump. I'm always surprised!
He stared at me as if to indicate that I had moved. He took his luggage and stole mine! How ungentleman he is!
I just stood up and took my own luggage. I can't keep up with his fast pace yet.
He turned so I stopped but later continued. He came to me while taking my luggage. "Stupid. Move faster my time is gold." He said then put our luggage inside his car.
I ran to the car and got inside. He's cold hearted and rude but I believe there is a part of him that is kind that he tries to hide.
We were silent while traveling but because I had questions even though I didn't want to speak, I did anyway. "Uhm why do we need to go on a honeymoon?"
He just looked at me but didn't even speak.
"W-well uh you know let's just arrange marriage." I try to explain.
He just looked at me again but didn't say anything! And he gives the look that says 'I rule everything so don't complain.'
I just held my breath. Antino is talking to him. I better keep quiet.
I didn't realize that I fell asleep, I just woke up when I arrived at the airport. I wasn't even woken up to eat, I'm already hungry!
I looked next door but there was no one. I looked around, I saw him outside coming closer to me. And it's already dark.
He opened the door, "Faster get out of the plane and eat." but i'm hungry!
When I got out, he immediately walked towards the private airplane we were going to use. I just ran and walked.
After entering the plane, I immediately looked and paid attention to its design and what else was inside.
A woman with a sweet smile and a sticky look on Khyrron guided us to our seats. I sat on the side near the window.
I thought Khyrron was going to sit down but the woman talked for a while and went somewhere. And I don't care! They go where they want.
After 10 minutes I felt Khyrron's presence but I couldn't hear any sound. I looked at him for a moment and immediately looked down at the food he was holding. I just remembered again that I'm hungry!
I just looked out the window even though I couldn't see anything but darkness because it was night.
He put the food and seat beside me. "Eat." I was still debating whether to eat or not. But the greed of my pet worms prevailed so I started eating them.
Where did they go earlier? What could they have done? who is the girl And they look close!
"Jane's my secretary." I looked at him in wonder. It says? It just sunk in that he read my questions in my mind!
I just nodded. I was surprised again when he stood up and moved his seat.
"Finish your food and sleep. It's 6 hours far from PH to Maldives." I just nodded again. The food is really good huh.
I fell asleep again during the trip and woke up when we were close to where we were going.
I enjoy all the scenery all the way. We are at a luxurious beach resort. We will stay in this beautiful villa. The water is beautiful and relaxing and everything you will want to live here. But sadly it's just 3 days.
Mostly the honeymooners spend weeks in one place, but us? Nevermind, we were just arranged marriages.
I lay down on the soft bed and didn't notice that I fell asleep. Jet lag.
When I woke up I was already covered in blankets. I looked back and remembered that I was already married. I looked at the clock, it's already 1:03 am I think it's morning.
I left the room to find Khyrron. Where is he?
I heard a woman's stifled laugh it's sound familiar. I went out and saw them sitting talking.
Is that name Jane with a smile? While Khyrron was holding the glass with only wine and you could still feel its coldness.
It's our honeymoon and then he brings a girl here? That's why honeymoon hmp!
The moon is bright so I can still see how beautiful the sea is. I just walked straight and ignored the two. It's time for you to go on a honeymoon!
I dipped my feet in the water and I hadn't been there long before someone pulled me upright.
I gasped and held on to the arm of this daring man so I wouldn't fall into the water.
"What the fvck are you doing?! Are you gonna swim their? It's fvcking cold!" It screamed angrily.
"I'm not going swimming! I'm just relaxing." My answer.
He pushed me in before letting go. "It's cold outside." He was about to turn and go back to the chair but I spoke.
"So you guys are out there?"
hey tsk It was like telling me not to mine my own business.
Enjoy!! I hope you marry him!
Because of annoyance, I only focused on foods. I spilled the fruits on the table.
I heard annoying laughter approaching again. Childish!
I didn't look back at the two who had just entered the kitchen.
"Should I just sleep here Khyrron? HAHAHHA" I was really annoyed by his laughter. You sleep next to each other!
I didn't hear a response from the girl's companion so I turned around. I caught him looking at me so I adjusted my seat. He's cold stares again!
"Okay I'll go now ha. Tomorrow again." It left a sweet smile again.
Hello? I'm here too. Thank you I just poured the fruits in front of me and only spoke to myself.
6:00 am came and I'm still here leaning on this chair. I would like to soak in the water but your king won't let me.
I don't know how I solved the boredom. I just know how to eat, watch, read and what not so that I don't go crazy because of boredom.
I jumped in shock when someone grabbed my waist. I can't breathe anymore because of our closeness to each other.
He leaned then whispered, "Just stay here I have work."
What work? On our honeymoon!? I can't believe this boring honeymoon. This is not what I dreamed of. 'What do you want? Make love, you don't really love each other.' My mind screams. Hmm!
I just nodded and continued arranging the plant in the vase. I'm just messing it up. "Okay."
He didn't say anything more and went straight out of our villa. Did he even eat?
And in those 3 days of honeymoon, boredom is the only thing I have! My honeymoon experience sucks, really. In those three days, I did the same thing. Watch, eat, hang out alone and read. The butler with me is like a rock companion!
Khyron? Always with his beloved secretary. They should have gone on their honeymoon, right?
I sadly say goodbye to our villa. I enjoyed myself. Maybe I'll visit here sometimes?
I was looking at the dishes while listening to music. This is relaxing. I didn't realize that I fell asleep again during the trip and when I woke up, I was the only one waiting!
I was ready to go out, I caught up with Khyrron, whose thick eyebrows met. "You're not a queen to be waited on. Move faster. You're just a what? Paid who just worth a million? Cheap." He said rudely.
He was far away but I was still standing where I was. Am I that cheap? Is it my fault that we lost? Why did he agree to marry us if that's how he thinks of me?
I wiped the tears that fell from my cheeks before walking. It's just words but it really hurts me. I know my worth as a woman since I was a child and he'll just call me cheap? He is cheaper!
It's been a week since we got married but I feel like I'm still single. Khyrron was always away from home and at work. Does it really work?
And tonight is his home. I don't know if I'd be thankful when he's not here or sad? He's really rude.
I'm combing my hair when the door of our room opens. I looked at his reflection in the mirror. He's in a business suit and it looks good on him.
He was taking off his watch when he spoke. "Remove my necktie." He commanded coldly.
I cleared my throat before walking towards him. I only look at the necktie and avoid looking at his face it's really scary. I looked at his Adams apple! It's moving and he's hot, really! I looked away and finished what I was doing.
He entered the closet. I lay down to sleep. Will he stand aside? It's our first time sleeping together. I just closed my eyes even though I wasn't sleepy yet.
I felt the bed sinking so I knew he would be next to me. He really walked silently.
When I woke up I felt the weight on my stomach and breath on my neck. It just sunk in that we slept next to each other! And his arm is hugging me! Her breathing hasn't helped and she's still leaning into me.
I don't know if I'm nervous or what? I'll just wait for him to wake up before I wake up. It's awkward.
I felt him moving next to me so I could breathe properly. Thanks gosh! "Get up. I know your awake." He removed his wrapped arm from me and moved away a little. "You cook our breakfast."
I just nodded in response. It's really awkward for me and then it seems like nothing happened to him?!
I stood up and went straight to the bathroom to wash up. Then I went down to the kitchen. He was still lying on the bed and his left arm rested on his forehead as he was when I left him in the room.
I cook simple for our breakfast. He doesn't even have a maid and on Sundays the house cleaners come. So I will be the one who will cook.
I was preparing food on the table when I saw him enter the kitchen. He was about to sit down but someone called him so he remained standing.
After a few seconds, he turned around and was ready to step when I asked. "Aren't you going to eat?"
He looked at his watch before answering me without turning around. "Emergency. Gonna eat outside." He replied sparingly as if indicating that 'I don't need to explain much.'
I looked down at the food."O-okay." I just held my breath. I put effort into cooking this and then we won't eat at the same time? Thinking that he might change his attitude towards me when he tastes the food I cook. Well it looks like I'm just gonna eat alone.
While washing the food after eating, I heard a loud bang because I let go of the dishes I was washing. What is that?
It was just my first time to hear that sound so I'm not sure if it was a gunshot. But I'm sure that's just outside the house.
I was afraid to go out so I just picked up the broken dishes on the floor. I was picking up a big stick that almost fell so I caught it again because my index finger was injured.
"Ouch." I moaned. It's not too deep and big but it hurts, I don't know.
A lot of blood came out so I washed it and looked for a first aid kit. I found it right away so I treated it.
After covering the wound I fixed my wound cover. I went to the kitchen and used the broom to clean up the mess.
I went up to the room to pass the nervousness. I'll wash later when I'm sure I'm safe.
I lay down on the bed and thought about it. Shall I call Khyrron? Does he care? Nevermind. I'm sure his house is secured.
I didn't realize that I fell asleep in the middle of the nervousness. And woke up to a loud noise in the bathroom. What and who is that?
I got up and sat on the bed not knowing what to do. Before I could stand up, the bathroom door opened, spitting out Khyrron who was just lying on the bottom.
I looked down from the wet hair to the covered towel. I swallowed. He's hot.
"Stop staring." His cold baritone voice gets me back in my senses. I looked back at his face and saw his cold expression again.
He entered the closet and came out dressed. He's wearing loose faded black jeans and a plain black shirt. Simple but still hot.
He looked at me awkwardly. "Why are you sleeping with the plates not clean?" He asked coldly.
That's when I remembered what I left to wash. I wonder what time is it? I looked at the clock, it's already afternoon!? I slept that long. Sh't.
I quickly got up and went out. It would have continued to be washed away. When I turned to the door, there was Khyrron leaning against the door jamb.
I'm panicking that I didn't know what to do. In the end I looked at the table and grabbed the chair. I felt him coming in front of me.
"I'm talking to you and you just left me their Miss Savannah Galves!" His voice rises when he mentions my whole name.
I looked down and searched for words. "I-I'm sorry. I panicked."
"And what you sleep 6 hours again? Did you sleep enough last night? You're not a queen here Ms. Galves. You can just clean the house or find some work to do here."
"it's because-" Should I tell him? Maybe he won't use that as an excuse. He's heartless.
I just played with my hand to reduce the nervousness. When I looked at him, he looked at my hand.
He slowly came closer so I hid my hand behind my back and faced him.
He grabbed my hand, "What happened to your hand?" His eyebrows met as if he was angry.
I withdrew my hand from his grasp. "It's nothing." I looked away again.
He grabbed me and pulled me into the living room. He made me sit next to him.
He grabbed my hand again. He removed the band aid. "It's not from a knife. What happened Savannah?" He looked straight into my eyes.
I decided to just say it. "While I was washing I heard a gunshot, I was surprised so I let go of what I was washing." I paused when I heard him curse. "I pick it up before going to our room. Because I'm n-scared." I heard him curse again.
"Did something happen?" I shook my head. "Go to your room." He ordered.
I was going upstairs when I heard someone call him.
After a few minutes Khyrron entered the room and found me just sitting on the bed.
I looked up. "Did you ahm know if what is that sound? Maybe gun? Why?" I asked one after another but was more afraid of his aura.
"It's nothing." He answered simply.
I just held my breath. Even though I had an idea why, I was relieved because he was here.
'But didn't you say earlier that you were afraid of him?' I just don't know!
While Khyrron is at the veranda, I stop and go near him. The nervousness was ignored.
I was just outside the veranda, "Khyrron, can I uhm work?" I play with my fingers.
He faced me. "Work?" He asked as if there was something funny in what I said.
I look at him with confidence. "Yes, I graduated business management and I know I have the talent in business."
He chuckled. "Really? Is that why your company just got bankrupt?" Now that is an insult!
"I know I can do something but my parents didn't let me work."
"Or they don't trust you." He's really insulting me!
My fists are clenched. "My parents just love me." I looked away.
"Let's see what you can do. You have one chance to my company." Agreed as he passed me and left the room.
Tomorrow I will prepare for the first entry into the Sandovals' company. I'm excited for my first day. I won't be bored here anymore and I will prove to Khyrron that I can contribute too! I'm wearing a light pink blouse paired with a pencil skirt and three inches high heels.
I went down to the kitchen to eat when I caught up with Kyrron who was standing and holding the chair as if he was thinking deeply while drinking coffee.
I was careful when walking so that he wouldn't hear me but I took a step and he turned around. I stopped walking because of his gaze.
He looked at me from head to toe, "Change your clothes."
I looked down at my clothes. "B-but what I'm wearing is okay." I looked back at him again.
He leaned on the table. "It's to revealing, Ms. Galves you will work not attract."
I can't do anything anymore, I don't want to argue because I always lose to him! I changed my clothes in agreement with my eyebrows.
Too revealing!? My blouse is long sleeve and my skirt is just 2 inches above the knees for pete's sake! I can wear a gown.
I change my clothes, I wear black slacks paired with a white blouse. I just tied my long and wavy hair. Done! Maybe it's okay.
I came down quickly because I might get late and be scolded again. He was leaning over the sink when I arrived. I sat down and started eating what I cooked. He just drinks coffee and he's good to go but I'm really eating because my stomach doesn't like coffee.
I ate less because of his gaze. Then say, "Faster time is ticking." I didn't finish what I was eating and put it away.
Every step he took I couldn't match so the ending he got into his car and then I was left dumbfounded. What the fvck!?
He just lazily looked at me the viola he's gone. I just called a rented driver here. I quickly arrived at their company because there was no problem.
Upon entering, I turned around when a woman approached. "Ms. Galves right?" I nodded in response.
He guided me to the 15th floor of the building. He pointed to a cubicle ahead. The width is the same as the others.
I frowned. I'm now a Sandoval, but they're not calling me Ms. Galves. I laughed bitterly in my head. Then they won't give me my own office? I know I'm just starting, but I'm a wife, but this is the space and workplace that will be given to me? Wow!
"Uh Mr. Sandoval said this will be your cubicle." The woman on the side immediately explained to me because she must have seen the expression on my face.
I nodded. "It's okay. Thank you." It stood up and immediately left.
Others stood up to introduce themselves to me while others did not bother because they were busy. I gave them a simple smile.
When everyone returned, I also sat in my own seat. All the things needed for work are in my table.
Khyrron really don't have a heart to give me an office. Even if it was simple, but there really isn't. I just accepted it.
Hmmm where do I start? I have been given instructions that are for me. So I started working my ass off to forget my sadness. I like working.
I didn't realize it was lunch time. I found out that they suddenly stood up.
Then a group of men approached me.
"Hey want to have lunch with us?" One's nanny. I noticed that he was a bit shy so I smiled and agreed to reduce his shyness. Then his friends and his back cheered for him.
"By the way I'm Fred." I accepted his hand.
I stood up, "Uhm don't you have a girl with you?" I asked because it felt a little strange that I was the only girl with them.
He pointed out at the end, "Of course, they're just fixing something. Then they want to be friends too, they just didn't get close earlier because we were a bit busy." Fred's long statement.
"Oh thanks! " I'm happy because someone wants to be friends with me.
The three women came over and kindly introduced themselves, which I accepted.
Our break time is over which I didn't notice because of our happy conversation. They're fun to be with! They are also kind.
We're on the 15th floor but they're still talking and I'm just smiling. They have this positive vibe and I like it.
"Sav again later!" Fred said kindly.
I nodded and smiled at them while sitting. "Alright when you have time."
After 1 hour I didn't do anything anymore, just in time for Fred, James and Leo to go. We talked for a few minutes when they suddenly all stood up. Fred slowly stood up. Because I had my back to where they were facing, I was the last one to stand.
Then I saw three men, Khyrron and his secretary; Jane. Khyrron just looked at me as everyone greeted them. Jane gave them a wide smile.
"YOU ARE ALL HERE TO WORK NOT TO FLIRT WITH YOUR OFFICE MATE!" Khyrron's word bang that made me flinch.
