Chapter 1
"Hija, your dad called you" Manang said when I got home.
I sighed
"Alright Manang" I replied with a fake smile to Manang.
I went up to my room for a while to change my clothes because I had just come home from work before I could change, then I decided to go down the stairs and I immediately saw my father sitting on the sofa holding a cup of tea next to me on the other hand, his wife is my stepmom.
"It's good to come down" My stepmom said when she saw me walking towards the living room I didn't notice her but sat quietly on the sofa.
They looked so serious.
"what is it dad? I have work I need to finish" I asked lazily.
My dad sipped his tea again before putting it down in the center table.
"The Larckstone Family is organizing a public blind date party. They all inviting the single ladies who have holding the surname in Wealth Family to participate in the upcoming event. To be Sixth wife for their only son, Hellios Larckstone" He seriously said.
I still silence and wait for his few more words but I'm still confused why he is all of a sudden telling this to me. After all Am I not interested to join that Blind date party cause I'm not desperate girl willing to offer myself those man?
Imagine being his sixth wife. If he ever gets to choose that blind date, then what? It will end up again into divorce ts. I'm curious why that happens to those who become his wife?
"Avoid another divorce. Hellios has to marry a woman with a specific surname." My step mom said I just raised my eyebrows like saying the hell-I-care look.
"Then?" I questionaly asked cause I don't get their points they don't talk to me especially about things like this.
"Our company needs the Larckstone benefits"
"I have nothing to do with that I am not close to the Larckstones, So. Why are you saying this to me?" I matter fact state.
I have bad feelings for this, especially when they make them slur what they have to say.
"I want you to join the upcoming blind date Fime" Dad seriously said made my jaw drop.
He gone insane?
"You must be kidding me dad? " I laugh like I heard the most ridiculous joke but I'm disappointed because dad is looking at me with a frown.
"But why me dad?" I exaggerate asked him.
"Why not Veronica, it's a big chance for her to get a billionaire man?" I added and sounds insulted my lovable step sister but I don't care in fact I was telling the truth.
"How dare you!" my stepmom angrily scolded me but I'm okay with her, right?
"Truth hurts I guess" I innocently state.
"I can't let veronica. I don't her to experience being a widow woman or a divorced woman. Your sister us worth better man" I laughed out loud at what dad told me.
'sister'
'sister'
that would never be, never in my life.
"is she that important to you dad?" I forced myself to lower my tone.
"You love her that much for you to force me? I am your legitimate daughter but you will sacrifice your own daughter for your beloved Company? and for your beloved step daughter? Why isn't Veronica just so she can be useful? as for their being attached to the household of--"
BUCK!
I didn't finish what I was saying when my Father's hand quickly landed on my cheek. My heart suddenly ached a little by little broke my heart. I can't believe it that he values that hanging girl more than my real son, it's so funny!
I'm holding my cheek which is now swollen due to the force of my father's slap on me I massaging my cheeks and blankly expression glance at him
"This is how you please me dad?" I unconsciously asked him.
My step mom angrily looks at me and also my lovable dad that I have in my whole life. What a pity I am right? Well I already used this anyway.
"Your attitude Scar!" I smiled fatly when he said I was ashamed of my behavior, right?
"I am asking you dad, do you love your sampid child so much that you put your real son in that situation? The man got divorces for the fifth times and Imponent? Really dad if veronice deserves a better man then I'm not?" I hate said.
I clenched my fist so tightly to the extent that my fingernails drove hard into my palm.
"Scar you have to understand that Veronica won't fit s-"
"So I fit in with that man, right Vivian?" I raised my eyebrows and asked her.
"Scar! Respect your mommy" dad said angrily so I laughed a lot! Laughter full of bitterness.
"Mom died 10 years ago dad. How did she become my mommy?" I snorted.
"She will never be my mom. Mark my words." I firmly said he suddenly stunned before he composed himself.
"I asked you one last time, Do you really want me to follow your order?" I was hoping that he would say 'no' or take back his word but not, I dropped my shoulders and looked at dad when I saw him nodding determinedly, he didn't even think twice about his answer.
I was looking to his regretted but none, A fucking none!
"Fine." I said unwillingly.
Both of their faces quickly lit up. My dad stood up and he was going to hug me but I stopped him, I was tired and sick for seeking his love, the love from my father but I guess he can never do that. He will never love me so I gave up.
I sighed multiple times and looked at their husbands with a new smile. I posture myself. The father that I devoted all but his attention to her stepsister funny right. Very funny right?
"This is the last time that I will follow what you want once I have become the sixth wife. I am not your child anymore Mr. Clarfson but don't worry I'll assure you that I will help the company will I let it go bankrupt company when I own it?" I said to them unemotionally.
I curled my lips to hide my smirk seeing my father pale and unbelievable glance sad to say they force my limit to this kind of.
I left them dumbfounded.
When I entered my room, I shed my tears that I had been holding back from falling!
You're together dad!
Do you love Veronica more than me? While I am your real son!
I hate you dad I hate you I wish I didn't have you as my father!" I cried out loud.
I don't fucking care if they hear me carefully now so he knows I hate him. Especially his wife is an angel, it's even worse than the devil when he turns his back and loves the sampid.
I can't believe that dad loved those bastards more than his real son. It's really funny
"Wait me dad, I'll show you that you chose the wrong person and from now on no Fime Scar Clarfson is weak." I wiped my tears while looking at the human size mirror.
"Hija, here are the clothes you will wear," Ma'am Vivian said, "manang handed me a paper bag, I just smiled at her and placed the paper bag she brought on my bed.
"Hija are you alright?" manang commented to me then he took the comb and he combed my long hair.
"Of course man." I tried my best not to cry cause I know that manang will worry about me but he is the only one who worries about me here in this house.
" I heard you crying last night, I wanted to let you into your room but your father stopped me. Hija, I don't blame you if you have a grudge against your father, but what you said hurt him especially when you shouted how much you hate him Son, remember No matter what happens, he's still your father. Don't forget that." Manang's long litany to me.
I was surprised that he wiped my tears that had already fallen.
"thank you man" I shyly said.
I'm ashamed because I feel like I'm together.
"Okay, it'll be alright because the person who will pick you up will come soon" Manang smiled and nodded before he completely left my room.
I let out a heavy breath as I remembered what Manang told me.
It's true that my dad was hurt by what I said, but it's impossible, it doesn't matter to me HAHA maybe he's even happy that I'll lose this house if I happen to be the one chosen by Hellios.
"I'm really beautiful" I confidently said to myself with a huge smile after I finished fixing myself.
Actually I only put on light make up because I'm already beautiful haha you should be confident guys char! Then I just let my long hair loose and I just wearing tiger striped Midi Cami dress and 4 inch crystal stiletto And Viola!
I can't take my eyes off the mirror you know I'm in love with myself, just myself no other than.
I went to my room wearing an emotionless look. I don't let them know that I'm weak, fragile and kind-hearted! I'll show them the demon they awakened
"I'm leaving" I announced and walked to outside this fucking house.
I heard my dad but I didn't take any glance for him. I don't want to feel guilty, maybe my plan will be new. I just sit properly while looking in the window.
'I promise that I will be the sixth wife dad'
The mansion house looked luxurious with a fusion of architectural styles. It was huge and took up an area of more than 2,000 square meters.
There were countless cars pooling in and out of the front gates.
I was led into the waiting room by the one in charge of the banquet, where many women were already waiting but when I stepped in they pairs of eyes leaned on me.
Did they just see something beautiful? ts.
"The official meeting is about to start soon. Please be ready." the person in charge announced and she started to pick up in the register list and read out.
The first name he called followed her again as they went to the reception room the girl really excited cause she walked really fast what a desperate woman ts.
After 5 minutes she came back with her make up smeared as tears flooded down her cheeks.
what happened? why is sister girl still crying drama?
a girl asked the girl 'what did hellios do to you?" the girl curiousity asked because I'm not a gossip, I didn't listen to them anymore but I just saw her pick up her bag and run crying to leave the banquet area it's his art.
One woman after another came out of the reception room with tears in their eyes, the women started gossiping here ts so annoying
I texted my driver to bring the packed tissue so I'm ready, wouldn't it be a shame to come out of the reception with my make up in tatters?
just in time, manong arrived and called me too so I composed myself and walked confidently
The room was huge as I expected and spacious, yet it gave people a strange sense of suffocation.
I suddenly stunned because I saw Hellios was sitting on a sofa in the middle of the room.
He had thick eyebrows that were like sharp swords, deep emotionless gray eyes with a sharp gaze, thin lips, sharp and perfect jawline, and a tall but strong figure. The article other features I've read it's really looked like.
Handsome not enough words to describe him. He looked ethereal, majestic like he was born to be king, making others kneel and submit themselves to him.
But I'm an exception duh.
I took a deep breath and calmly sat down in front of this Greek. I put down the pack of tissues, putting it on the table in front of him.
"What are you doing woman?" Hellios raised his thick black eyebrows and asked.
"Wipe my tears." I honestly said.
Hellios was stunned and soon burst into laughter
oh god, he's so handsome he laughed!
"Do you think I will make you cry too?"
"but none of them went out with a smile so I guess yes" I said in a matter of-fact.
"because they very dissapoint me how they're answering"
"require to answer all your questions?" I asked.
"Yes" he said lazily.
"Okay spill it"
"Do you know how many times that I divorced" his first question
"Five" I immediately answer because his question is everyone knows.
"And do you think a man who can't even manage his family. Would have the ability to manage a company well?" His fellow asked.
I sighed.
"Yes. The personal issue about his family can be set aside." I coolly said.
Hellios stared at me and smirked.
What's wrong with his smile? I questionably asked myself.
"what's your name young lady?" He asked.
"Fime Scar Clarkson"
"You may leave" I was surprised when he said blinking my eyes third times.
"Will you choose me?" I directly asked him.
"Why would I choose you. Give me a reasonable reason" he asked and lips curled as if found sound interesting.
"Because I'm your sixth wife and last" I confidently said.
"Last wife?" He snorted.
"So arrogant" he added but I just grinned at him.
"why? Don't you believe me? You can give me a try unless your afraid that I have the ability to make you fall in love with me. Mr Larckstone" I teased him.
He's face becomes serious but I don't mind as long as he chooses me I'm just to desperate to be his wife Isn't like that I have feelings for him I just really need him.
"Alright. I give it a try because of your courage but remember It doesn't matter who I'll choose because I don't want to love any woman at all" he clearly said and stood up.
Alright! 'Mission Accomplish' I can't help but smile!
"I'll assure you that I'm gonna be Sixth wife and last wife" I confidently said to him with Sweetly smile.
To Be Continued....
Chapter 2
Hellios walked out of the door but before I followed him I let out a long sigh of relief, thanking my lucky stars. I got up and followed behind him.
When we both appeared, everyone outside the door had their eyes glued to me and hellios. The in changer approached us and asked hellios.
"You've made your decision Young Master?" the person in charge blubbered in confusion when he saw coming out of the reception room.
"Yes, It's her" Hellios raised his chin, slightly pointed at me.
All of the women immediately turned their glance at me soon the room exploded in a gossip and groan. I stirred up public shock and anger.
but i flip my hair and smirk sorry not sorry I'm the chosen one hahaha I almost burst out to laugh but I held back especially when I heard the gossip of the insecure bitches here.
'what ability does she have to be chosen by hellios' bitch girl,
'Isn't the Fime Scar Clarkson? how can she be better than me?"- clown
That's right. How could she...."before she couldn't finish his word a man appeared from nowhere.
"Young Master's choice has never been and should not be questioned." He indeed the gossip. I smiled sparingly at him and silently thanked him because what he did caused the pain of hearing what they were saying.
"Everyone enter banquet hall" the person in charge announced. After that he turned to us and said. "Young Master, Madam said that if you have chosen your fiance, you may bring her to the main hall to meet her" he politely said.
Hellios turned around and walked directly towards the main hall.
I was tormented by the attitude of your brother, sisters, did he leave me here? Like hello you're fiance is here! Ts!
I was nodded at the person in charge to thank him and fellow bastards. I was taking small steps taking deep breaths. After all I'm not afraid of any questioning or challenges, as my purpose was clear.
The mail hall is clearly an elegant older lady was sitting comfortably on an elegant couch.
Like hellios, she had an aura of superiority, but the smile on her face was kind and sincere. I was surprised, completely different from the article about the hellios' mother image of evil mother-in-law.
"Is she the woman you chose son?" his mother asked him while pointing at me.
"Yes, it's her" he dismissively, while taking his seat.
He's mother held my hands and sat her down next to herself. She asked me kindly "which family are you from"
"Madam, I'm the eldest daughter of Ferron Clarfson. My name is FimeScar Clarfson" I replied her in a respectful manner.
"How old are you my dear" his mother asked gently.
"24" I answered and gave her a shy smile. As she was not so nervous anymore.
"Are you scared of my son?" she asked with chuckles.
"No, Master Hellios is not scary as I thought" I said this simply glanced at hellios but he just stared blankly at the ceiling.
He's mother widened eyes, clearly taken aback, she looked back and forth between Hellios and me.
"I'll leave my son under your care. Our family will treat you well, this I can assure you"
"Thank you madam" I nodded politely.
"And tomorrow the wedding for both of you shall be held at the Imperial hall" She said.
"Thank you--" I was about to answer.
"No" Hellios interrupted me. "I have a wedding every time I get married. It's too troublesome"
"What do you mean troublesome? This is Fime First'wedding we should give her proper wedding. It's our obligation" His mother can't help but to scold him.
if asked i'm fine with hellios want.
Hellios glanced at me before he left. I sighed. How rude is he? Ts.
His mother hardly sat down and comforted me.
"I apologize to his attitude. He had such a bad-temper but he is still good soul deep down. Don't mind him" I nodded and gave her half smiled.
She explains how the wedding is going tomorrow but I suggest to follow the ceremony that Hellios wants.
Being married to Mr. Billionaire is hard especially when the public finds out and I don't want it. What about my privacy if there is always a reporter watching, right?
After a long chit-chat with my future mother-in-law, I went home.
I was thinking if I will enter or not. Well, I'm sure they are already aware that I was chosen and for sure my good step-mother will plasticize me again ts
A mother bitch Ts.
"Scar Your so lucky" my stepmother cackled out loud when she saw me entering the mansion.
what a surprise she called me to my second name, suddenly we became close. I raised my eyebrows while keeping walking.
"The Larckstone Family is the richest family around Asia, So don't forget us when you better off in the future. My lovely daughter veronica gave you a chance"
I gave her a small smile and I didn't respond.
well off?
Veronica gave me a chance?
How shameless they are. I thought to myself.
However, I didn't argue with her, its like I don't have the strength, I'm too tired to talk to my future mother in law so I ignore my step mother.
One day, I would step on these people who once dragged me down.
I bravely said in my mind before laying down in bed and totally sleep.
Imperial Hotel
The wedding banquet for Hellios and Mine. This wedding is not the typical wedding which the usual do, Since this is also business related I chose a simple wedding its just that it was just like a party where they announced that we are married then put on a ring and sign the marriage contract.
That's all that happened at this wedding banquet and now,
I'm sitting alone because my goody husband is busy talking to his investors ts but I don't care as long as she's not a nambae chour, I don't even care if she's a girl. I took my wine when I heard loud gossip,
'She's the Sixth Wife, I don't think so that she can live with Larckson family too long'
'What a beautiful girl too. It's such a pity'
'How come that she's pity in fact she's a gold digger'
I'm still calm even I heard they're fucking chit'-chatting about me. I'm not the type to just say what people like them say.
I just sat in the rest area and appreciating the glass of red wine in my right hand.
Suddenly, the teenage girl appeared in front of me. She was has a fair and innocent with sweet smile on her baby face. She sat beside me.
"Hello sister-in-law. I'm daphne, Hellios younger sister" she extended her hand so I accepted it with a small smile. I didn't know that he had a younger sister, oh well, I just met him yesterday.
"I rushed back as soon as I receive the news. But it's still kinda late" I laughed lightly when I heard his accent in Tagalog.
"Sorry, We progress so fast" I apologized to her.
Since i saw her innocent baby face, I already like her you know there seems to be something in her aura that she is kind if my instinct is right we also talked a little bit about something- I was curious about his ex wife so I asked her .
"Daph, How long did your brother's longest marriage last?" I curiosity asked whispered to her.
"Hm, two months .. three months?" Daphne titled her head figuring out her answer.
wow, as in wow how long did it take? It's been a long time, maybe the rumor about him is true.
"You should ask the person involved" the cold voice uttered behind my back gives shivers to my spines
I slowly looked at the owner and to my surprise it was Hellios with a cold stare.
"Hellios" I said but remained calm.
"Brother, are you planning to be scared to death are you?" But helios didn't answer her.
But, pulled me away to daphne, both of us were surprised.
"Hey let me..." I didn't finish my word.
"Its not to good talking about other behind thiers back" I was surprised when he said it's means he was listening to the conversation a while ago Oh god,
"And to kill your curiosity my longest lasted three months, so cherish your time for being rich and powerful its gonna be short of." He said
but I just smirked at him.
"I told you, I'll be your final wife"
"So arrogant woman" Hellios scoffed.
I was surprised when Daphne clapped her hands.
"Sister in law, I admire you. Goodluck" I frowned looking at her because I don't get her.
Admire for what and finally good luck for what again? oh no, is she thinking that there's something between hellios and I. I was to explain when hellios shooed her away.
"Go. You have no business here" Hellios said.
Then without warning he grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the ballroom.
"Hellios, where are you taking me?" I startled him.
"Let's go home" he finally said.
"But the banquet and guests is still h.." he cut me off again.
"Im not in the mood to stay longed here and if you want to stay and be pitied. Then stay" He said irritated.
He let go of my hand. Is he concerned about me? I secretly smiled because of what he said but I immediately ran away to his car.
"He's just acting" when I joked, but he just glared at me, but I didn't care, his looks don't kill me! I'm still
I kept my mouth shut the whole ride. There's nothing I don't feel like talking to a man whose only answer is 'Glared' crazy man!
As I pushed the door of their new bridal room a gasp space of my lips immediately, My jaw dropped.
It's not that I was expecting it but it's like that, I was expecting the room will be filled with roses, warm lights and perhaps pink bed sheet like a normal newly married couple but the fuck this reality I only could see is black and white. There's no warm and romantic ambience, not any single of it.
Oh, it really hurts to expect!
I really wanted to demand but I stayed silent this room is odd fashion ts.
"Go to your room" He said coldly while pointing at the huge painting on the wall.
"But it" the man is really rude, he always doesn't let me finish my words.
"Are you sure it was a painting?"
"flip it" he ordered and he took his coat casually.
I sighed and didn't ask more. I walked towards the large painting of a landscape and I noticed that it was not just a painting as he told, I flipped it
Behind the landscape painting there is a door which is connected to the small room with a tiny window. It looks like a prison if you look at a proper prison.
I feel a mixture of sadness and disappointment when this room was revealed to me.
Is this how he really treats all his wives, no wonder why he divorced many times because your brother has such an attitude.
"shall we sleep separately?" I unconsciously asked.
Oh great fime stating the obvious ah?
"do you understand now?" he sounds lazy.
"don't stay in my room more than a minute unless its necessary, second don't touch my thing especially my bed" he warned and pointed his king size bed.
There are so many artes that it's true who is the wife of the two of us?
"Do you have mysophobia?" I wondered.
"I'm sick disgusting creature like you" he insulted me.
Disgusting creature? Huwow, the fool is not only artistic, but arrogant!
"how about the... Arg nevermind" I hissed.
"about what the things between The husband and wife?" I was able to look away because that's what I meant by the crazy.
Hey, don't echo there, I just want to clarify. It doesn't mean that I want it too, no ts.
"don't worry I won't touch a single of your hair, even you naked in front of me" I immediately looked at what he said! I glared at him oh god! And does he think I would want to talk to him, what is the thickness of his face,
But why? I'm sexy and especially beautiful argh erase erase that shit Fime,
"Do you know why I got divorced many times because of that, they're always forcing me to have sex with my ex-wives" he's so arrogant, what does he think of himself?
I looked at him and saw your grandfather's polo shirt showing his broad chest" is king!
I immediately covered my mouth holy shit mother fucker bitch!!!
"Are you an alien?" he asked.
A thorn was pulled out of my chest, I thought, he clearly heard, it's embarrassing if it happened by chance!
"huh, no I was wondering if you are gay" when I changed the subject later, my pest wife became arrogant again.
"what?" he asked in surprise.
"It's not because I don't want a woman, I want a man." he glaring me oww someone pissed off.
"And I hate women, I dislike it especially when they start asking questions so if you want to tag along with me you better learn to be quiet." he warned me so I said yes, right?
"Shut up now fime" I said in my mind.
Then it's good that I avoid those he doesn't like so I can achieve my goal.
"okay," then I turned away to enter my room, I sighed as I looked at my room again.
It's really small, but it's okay to look at it even though I'm not used to such a small room.
I took off my wedding gown revealing my creamy skin. I opened the wardrobe which filled with women's clothing. They were all high quality with different pants, shorts, dresses, t-shirts, and blouses. More importantly, the price was still attached to them, which meant that they had been used.
I picked the modest-looking nightgown.
When I was about to put it on, the tiny door suddenly opened.
I found myself locking eye's with hellios.
Oh fuck, realization hit me! I immediately covered my nakedness with the nightgown that I was about to wear.
"I don't know how to know" i startled him but he looked at me with his lazy eyes.
"I told you I'm not interested in women" he snorted.
"Wear your clothes and come out" then he left.
Shit, my face is burning red right now fuck that man! Even if I don't hit him, it's still a trend to knock, isn't that guy really nice?
I stormed out of my room after getting dressed.
Hellios just casually lying on his bed and diverting his gaze on me.
"My family will come and check on us. So you have to stay here in the room" I rolled my eyes.
"staying here? And standing like a statue here?" I gave him a puzzled look.
'how earth on his mind work' i muttered in my mind.
But your grandfather's strength didn't even bother me! I kill him in mind many times!!
5 minutes passed by but I was still standing while he was pretending to be lying down while reading thanks to him because now I'm tired.
"May I sit here" I pointed to the single couch. Hellios didn't object so I guess is a yes. So I walked to the couch.
But as soon as I took a step, an arm grabbed my waist, hugging me into an embrace and in my vision spun crazily at once.
As I recovered, I was lying on his bed with hellios pressing my body.
His greek god face was two inches away from me, so close that we both felt each others breath.
"what are you doing" blood rushing in my face, geez! I'm blushing....
"I said, my family might be coming over for a check" he brazenly said.
To Be Continued...
Chapter 3
My eyes wide open.
I can't move, I'll be stuck with his lips!
Lubdub!
Lubdub!
The only thing I could hear was the pounding of my chest because of the shock I felt. Why is it like this?
-Creakkkkk.
I was surprised when the door closed completely so I pushed Hellios without my own.
"the show is done, you can go to your room" he said as if nothing had happened.
I can't believe I'm just looking at him, that's all? That was my first kiss? He stole it. Then it was just shown! Oh god!!! I really wanna punch him right now right here!!
"have you been doing this while?" I unconsciously asked. Oh shot! I cover my cheeks using my two hands.
"You are the first woman I chose for myself" he coldly said.
I was suddenly stunned, when my chest started trembling unexpectedly.
"please don't make me repeat myself for the second time" he annoyingly stated.
I gave him a wry smile,
"Well, then I'm honored" I tried to lighten the awkwardness.
"Well, the thing is you volunteered this" he retorted and mocked my state.
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist simply this man is getting on my nerves right now!
I adjusted my sout nightgown walked into my room but before I could turn the doorknob.
I turned my back and reminded him.
"Well.. Looks like I touched your bed"
"it doesn't matter, I'll just send him away tomorrow" he dismissively said.
Throw away? It means..
Does he really hate women that much?
"oops, you can throw the bed but how about the.." I stopped for a while and he growled.
"your lips? I touched it too?" I asked innocently going down to the book he was holding.
Hellios expression instantly darkened.
"So should I throw you away too? He coldly threatened.
" Well, if you can that'll be great. " I said in fake a cherry tone.
And I immediately run towards my room before hellios could do anything dangerous, because brother hellios is crazy about my sisters.
It's up to him, he'll be annoyed with me whenever he wants but I don't care!
Early in the morning I prepared the breakfast with the servants and served it in the dining hall. I admit that when I woke up, I was amazed at the beauty of their kitchen, especially their dining room, which was really big enough to fit twenty people at the dining table.
"Thanks manang cely", I smiled as I thanked him as he put down the last meal I cooked and I made tea because I found out that coffee is not a trend with them which is fine with me.
I was about to prepare tea for the four of them when I saw my father in law.
"Good morning dad." I greeted him with an angelic smile.
Hellios father's sitting in front of me.
he asked me in surprise.
"What did you call me?"
"dad "I repeated, this time is softer I'm afraid that I might offend him so I'm not looking at him either.
"Good! Good! Good!" He chuckled and quickly took the cup of tea.
I sighed of relief, I thought I would offend him because I felt close AHAHA
Hellious's mother also came and sat next to her husband. I handed the other cup of tea and gave it to my mother in law.
"mom please have a cup of tea" I offered.
Mom was happily took the cup of tea and she drank the tea and held my hand which made me shocked.
"do you know?" she sips the tea again.
"My previous wives of hellios they didn't call me Mom, and your the only one who treats us own family" she said gratefully so I smiled at her mom's response.
I feel like I found a new parent because of their personality, Hellios' parents are actually kind, even Daphne, but come to think of it, how come Hellios's coldness and bad attitude if he has a family like this.
"don't be happy so soon" hellios tone was like ice cold.
I was stunned, I didn't notice that he had come down.
I glanced with a half smile but he just looked at me with his cold stare before he went upstairs again.
I just sighed at what Hellios was doing then drank my tea, can I handle it when Hellios behaves like that?
I mean, I can't hang him because of your brother's attitude, chongs!
It's very cold in the morning, even colder than your relationship, chour!
I was surprised when his mother sat beside me while I'm still holding the cup of tea so, I sip again but..
"Did you enjoy last night" he asked me in a low tone.
I automatically blew out the tea I drank, besides being surprised, I was burned badly! Dad handed me a tissue so I quickly accepted it and wiped my lips.
"Careful hija" dad reminded.
"So, hiha, did you enjoy yourself last night?" mom asked again jusme! Repeatedly.
I bowed down, that's really king hellios! I feel like my face is red from embarrassment.
"Well..." I started hesitantly. I don't know what to say!
"It's quite good" in a low voice said.
"Did you...?" Mom's eyes were brightened. She looked into my eyes and said.
"I saw both of you kissing" I remained silent because of mom said.
except that, I don't know what to say because our kissing scene I lost my first kiss flashed back in my brain, while there were pairs of eyes looking at us.
There and then, I wished nothing more to run into myself in the wall and die on the spot!
I blushed and lowered my head because of the 'embarrassing'
Fortunately, a cheerful and sweet voice appeared, I was able to rest easy thanks to daphne's appearance because I was saved from embarrassment.
"Good morning everyone" Daphne ran into the dining room and greeted everyone.
"Good morning!" I greeted her back with a cheerful voice.
Mom looked at me with a smile and didn't continue to ask the question which is fine with me.
Mom ordered Daphne, "Call your brother first so we can have breakfast."
"I don't want" she refused.
"It's just me" I answered Immediately then stood up easily.
I opened the door of the bedroom.
"It's time to have breakfast. Mom asked you to go downstairs"
"Mom?" he asked me with a frown so I quickly nodded to him.
"Since when did you get so close to my family?" Hellios said and stared at me.
I'm a little offended, guys,
"As you wish, you got married into a rich and powerful family. Were you so excited that you didn't sleep the whole night?"
"Yes" I still remained calm.
"Looks like you know women well"
"No, but the dark circles under your eyes says it all. You should explain yourself when you go downstairs, so that they wouldn't think I've done something to you"
I did not utter a word.
I'm a shot mamen, maybe that's why mom's question was really a pest!
I cleared my throat.
"Mom has already asked me if we did something last night.". I said seriously to him.
As expected, he asked with a slightly somber expression.
"And how did you answer that?"
I sighed first.
"I didn't answer. Daphne appeared and interrupted the conversation. She saved my life from embarrassment"
"Then did my mother...." I cut him off because I already knew what he was going to say.
"You kissed me last night. Do you still want to pretend that you didn't do anything to me" I said irritated.
This time, hellios look like his tongue-tied for a seconds so my mood is happy men,
Hellios held me by my shoulders, and was about to argue back to me but I twitched my lips and smirked.
Gleefully, I shook his hands off and dragged him downstairs.
I finally got him, I simply grinned while walking downstairs.
We had breakfast in silence with a smile on my face because this is my first time that I ate together at the table in the mansion because I was always separated from my father, they never asked me and invited me to come over and eat with them.
After I grew up and I was diagnosed with serious gastritis many years later, I realized dignity was not something worth defending for. No one would ever feel sorry for me.
I kept everything that happened all to myself.
"Why aren't you eating? are you not feeling well or you don't like the food?" Mom asked and her voice full of concern which is turning back to my senses.
"No! No" I immediately answered and started digging in.
The food was warm and scrumptious, was warm as the family affection the Larckstones was giving to me except my husband duh,
"You are going to visit Fime's Family with her later. I ask...." hellios cut her off.
How rude this man is nice to spank men!
"I don't have the time" Hellios refused coldly without thinking.
Dad frowned. "You should not use being busy as an excuse"
"Dad, this is my sixth marriage. We don't have to abide by all the traditions as in the first marriage, do we?" he un-politely said
"You...." dad put down his utensils and chided hellios angrily,
"this is Fime's first marriage."
"Dad it doesn't matter" watching an argument sparkling, I immediately tried to ease the situation.
"My family won't mind, so it's fine. I have to go to work too" I calmly said.
"Work?" Mom curiously asked
"What do you do?" she added.
I don't have anything to hide from my job because I come from a wealth family, anyway, my dad doesn't spare me when it comes to my school, so I choose great course.
"I'm an interior designer"
"Ah, what a nice job hija" mom said with a smile.
"Thanks" I answered sparingly.
"do you have your own firm? or your working with someone?" Daphne asked curiously.
"I have plans to build my own firm but for now I'm working with someone"
"Oh, okay! Let hellios take you to your work after breakfast" dad.
"It's troublesome" he refuses without any expression.
Mom glared at him.
"How can you say that your husband hasn't told you yet?"
"no matter where she is going, it's going to be troublesome" hellios did not give in and replied at once.
I sighed here we go again they are fighting again Once again I came to ease the situation.
"Don't worry, I can commute and I'll just send my car" I told them. Mom glanced at me.
"Commute?" Mom was shocked like I said a horrible word
"How can the daughter-in-law of the Larckstones squeeze herself in a crowded transportation. I'll arrange.."
"No, No" I rejected mom's offer and shook my head.
"I can commute mom, just keeps things low"
"But..." dad cut her off
"Let's not make things difficult to her" dad said so I smiled at him and mom remained quiet and did not say anything more.
Honestly, I felt touched by my in-laws consideration
at the same time, I also felt a little guilty because the purpose of being married to the Larckstone family was.....
After breakfast, I followed Hellios out of the house.
"Next time, leave the house ten minutes after me." Hellios folded his arms and said to me. He was very hostile.
"Are you upset that I am still working even after being married to you?" I asked in confusion.
"Huh?" and shook his head.
"Don't fall all over yourself" He stared into my eyes and warned me,
"Remember whatever you do has nothing to do with me unless you have an affair with someone else!" Then he left.
Did he warn me right?
Oh! maybe he already fell for me but I immediately slapped my forehead, we haven't even known each other for 1 week and then he will fall for me right away It's big big big No! ts
