Trapped With You Book 2

Kylie's POV

My throat hurts, my back aches and my stomach started to growl. I opened my eyes, light suddenly blinded me. I raised my hand to block the light coming from somewhere. After adjusting my vision from the blinding light I looked at where I was.

I was shocked to see that I was inside a room. Even though it's not big, you can't say it's small either.

Where am I? What is this place?

My brain is confused. I kept on thinking about what happened last night. I thought I was in Verona. It's like I was just talking to Aunt Vane last night. How come, I'm here? How come I'm in this unfamiliar bed? Why am I lying here? Am I in Spain already?

My head throbbed so hard that I caught it suddenly. I feel like my head's gone burst. Aaaagh! What the hell?! I just felt this headache again. I reached for the pillow and covered it over my face. Block the light! Block the light, Kylie!

I closed my eyes tightly and let the pain in my head pass. I think I didn't move for about ten minutes. I just fell on the pillow.

When I felt my headache disappear, I opened my eyes again.

I tried to get up from the bed and that's when I noticed that I wasn't wearing pants or any underwear. Anything to cover up my legs. My eyes immediately widened.

"What the hell?!"

Why don't I have bottoms? Did someone rape me Omg?! I immediately groped my whole body and felt if there was anything strange and by God's mercy I did not feel anything strange like not even the sensitive parts of my body and it was still felt the same.

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Bataan is still safe.

I looked at my underwear and frowned when I saw that I was wearing briefs wtf I mean, I'm wearing men's underwear and I don't know whose it is?.

Omg! Don't Tell me kay--

This is..! This is... Thurstin's!!

I stood up as the past that happened between the two of us flowed through my memory.

The airplane, Nordint, the incident at Dora, and those guys who are chasing us then... then... what happened after? Aah! When Thurstin and I ran out of gas on our way to Laayoune. Then we saw a truck where the Spanish couple was. We got in the truck and...

I scratched my head.

What I remember is that I slept next to Thurstin. I think I felt worse in the middle of it. snap! I think I have a fever too.

I looked around the room.

Then Thurstin and I also arrived in Laayoune and we can stay in an old hotel. The question is, where is Thurstin?

My stomach was growling and that's when I saw a bowl on a table. When I looked at it, I saw that there was porridge in the bowl. There is also bread on the side and medicine pills.

Wow! Did Thurstin prepare this for me?

I took the spoon and immediately took a bite of the porridge. It's not hot anymore and the taste is a bit bland but it's okay. I'm too hungry to complain.

I think I only ate the food on the table in five minutes because I was so hungry. I was thinking about things too, I didn't even realize he was exhausted. I was quietly amazed by myself. I guess I just got too hungry.

After I finished eating, I took the medicine that was there. I didn't doubt it because Thurstin had a note written on a small piece of paper. They say it's 'Paracetamol'. Although I don't think I'm still fever, I still drank it so my fever wouldn't come back and my headache would go away.

I was wondering where Thurstin could be at the moment. I approached the window and peered between the blinds that were there.

It was a bright morning outside my eyes blinked as it was adjusting to the light. When my vision was fine, I looked outside.

There I saw a wide dusty road. People are bustling at every corner. I can see a building across the street that looks like a billiard salon or whatever. To the right are people walking and jogging, some are selling goods, and some are buying.

Cars can also be seen from the other side of the road, and motorcycles.

Not much to see. I didn't expect Laayoune to be a big city. I think the Sta. Rita then here.

I was about to leave by the window when I caught sight of a man from the other corner. The familiar stance of the man made my heart beat faster.

What the heck?!

My eyes just saw Thurstin and all of a sudden my chest swelled up! Another class!

Thurstin seems to be talking to a man, they're standing in front of the hotel. The strange man has the same Spanish look I saw from the couple last night. May he's Spanish too.

What are they talking about?

Thurstin patted the man on the shoulder who just smiled before he walked towards the hotel where I was. The stranger ran towards the other crossing. He crossed the road before disappearing into an alley.

I was too engrossed watching the scenery outside the hotel I haven't heard the door open and...

"Kylie?" comes the voice of Thurstin.

I turned towards the door. "Huh?!" He was here immediately.

Thurstin looked at me like he saw a ghost. He was also gaping.

I was surprised at the man's reaction when he saw me. "W-Why are---?" I followed where Thurstin was looking. He was looking... at my legs?

"Aaahhh!" I shouted. I have no bottoms!!! "Get out!! Get out!" I ran towards the bed screaming.

Thurstin rushed out of the room, no way! as quickly as he entered, he left just as quickly.

Oh my gosh! Hello! my!

OMGG!

Shame!

I immediately jumped up and realized that I was just dreaming. that's why what's happening seems familiar.

Where is Thurstin? What is happening?

Where am I?

(A/N: Sadly, I'd have to cut the story of Kylie and Thurstin in chapter 50. However, don't worry, this book will have book 2 soon hehe. Thanks for reading! and Enjoy!

Cole's POV

I know this is stupid! Marry a man who hates you to the heavens--- he hates your twin, and he thinks you are still your twin. Thank you! But I had to do this for Papa, Mama, and Nicky. When I saw my twin, I could just switch up with her. After all, Bennet is angry with him, he will suffer from that man's anger.

I was stretched when I heard the wedding march inside the church. Hmmm. It seems like that was the signal for me to shake my head when I realized and just run away. But because I wasn't in the mood, I stepped into the church to the melodious sound of the bamboo organ.

I need to be married. It's a pity that Papa suffered.

Since I am completely orphaned, no one will take me to the altar. Just myself. I didn't even know anyone who attended. They are great people, Bennet's friends and business partners in business. I do not care about them. I'm not the type of person who likes to socialize. Nicky loves it, and as I keep saying... I AM NOT NICKY.

The whole church is elegantly arranged. That hell Bennet really paid for it. He just wants to brag off his WEDDING OF THE CENTURY. Sheez! Some media even covered the wedding. Sheez! If I was with them, they would have understood it differently and not this useless marriage.

I looked straight ahead of the church. I focused on the man waiting for me at the altar...

Bennet Michael Leofwin is a famous businessman in the Philippines and also a billionaire.

What I know is that he is only 26 years old, but has already established a business empire, RedSphere Inc, a multi-company based in Silicon Valley in America. He's half Filipino- half demon, Este half-Spanish by the way. From the prominent family of the Leofwin's.

I don't care about him either, my twin Nicky is dead to him. And I was in the middle of wrestling with a tiger in Africa when Nicky's e-mail arrived saying that Bennet was her boyfriend. Then the polar bears were chasing me in the Arctic Circle when I got the news that they had broken. And my twin is very brokenhearted.

After that, I didn't hear from him anymore. I thought Nicky had committed suicide. When I came home from Afghanistan, this is what greeted me. Bennet and his indecent proposal.

It's fun, right?

I still thought that Bennet was a kind person because of his offer to help Papa's company. Turned out, that he had a hidden agenda. Shh!

He will make my life hell? Huh! Let's see if he can! I'm so far away, where have I been? I have seen and met many kinds of monsters. I have sparred with a wild gorilla and a python has also licked me. In my work as a wildlife photographer for Geo Magazine, my investment is courage. Bennet for me is just a lion...

Handsome and hot lion.

He might be easy to tame.

I walked straight ahead of the church. There is no turning back. Let's meet the lion king at his lair and be eaten alive. Eaten alive?? Just a joke. I will break Bennet's jaw when he hits me, he will see.

I walked And walked more Alright Cole, walk more... walk. Pucha! Why is the aisle of this church so long? I am tired! Especially since the heel of my shoe is higher than the Eiffel Tower, I don't wear heels. Who can afford it? I will hit his forehead with that heel and when I can at least retaliate.

After ten long years, I also reached the end where Bennet was waiting for me with a smile.

Fake! See you! You thought his smile was real, I know he was imagining how he would torture me after marriage.

I looked next to Bennet, his best man. Lukas Leofwin, Bennet's nephew. The handsome man was also smiling, but unlike his uncle, I could see his smile was genuine.

"Hi Nicky, or should I call you, Aunt Nicky?" Lukas greeted.

"Not yet," I said. "We're not married yet. Don't congratulate us, we might get sick and it won't work out!"

Lukas laughed. Bennet gave me a meaningful look. I just raised an eyebrow at him.

Bennet took my hand and led me to the altar. I know that all the people's eyes are on us as we face the priest to get married. I still heard the whispers around.

"Cole's lucky, right?"

"Yes, that's right, he's got, Bennet!"

"Hmp! I feel that Bennet has no choice because Kelly, his true love, has died. I don't know why he still settled with Nicky while I'm here, it's better!"

I wanted to stone the person who spoke with my shoe, but I just held back.

Or maybe it's better if I just put the heel of my shoe on Bennet. He's smiling again. Just addicted? After he threatened me, now he's going to smile at me with a piece of candy? Japeyk!

When we took our place in front of the Priest, I didn't understand what the people around us were saying. Even the Priest, I didn't understand. My brain is offline now.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

That's all I hear. I scratched my head because the Priest's ceremony was too long and I was getting impatient. I'm not a rude person, I'm respectful especially to Priests. It's just that for me, after all, Bennet was the first to be insulted when he told the reason for the wedding. So I don't care if I have bad manners or what.

I felt my hair messed up but I ignored it. What if I look crazy? Bennet will be criticized and not me. Hehehe. She married a madman.

After a while, Bennet elbowed me so I turned to him. He raised an eyebrow slightly and I held back cursing because his appeal increased by one hundred percent. I didn't react anymore when he raised his hand and pulled my tangled hair. His gentle fingers run over my hair and send goosebumps all over my body.

Hail Mary! Why is his hand like that? Is there electrical voltage?

"Don't act dumb, Nicky. Don't embarrass me or you'll be..." he whispered softly but emphatically.

Jerk!

"It's sweet of you to threaten. I have no plans to embarrass you, I just have a louse wandering around my head..." I whispered with a smile.

I wanted to burst out laughing when Bennet turned to me with an impregnable face.

lol

Cole's Pov

He elbowed me again.

"Be serious!"

"I'm serious!"

lol, He can't accept me anymore.

I will make it hot in Afghanistan, I was cut off there.

haha, I raised my hand again and was ready to scratch again when Bennet grabbed my hand and pressed it to his side.

Shh! He can't stop me from scratching. My one hand was free so I still scored. But when Bennet gave me a nasty look, I immediately dropped my hand.

It's hard, he might make me bald. Blah blah blah blah the Priest again. I just imagined something. I wonder if I will ever be able to return to my job as a Photographer.

Thank you! I will miss chasing zebras in Africa and swimming in the Amazon River just to take a picture of a piranha. Hey! It doesn't matter, when I see Nicky,

I can go back to my old life. He and Bennet are together, after all, they are both crazy. Bennet suddenly elbowed me so hard that I turned to him again in annoyance.

"What?!" I whine. My soon-to-be husband's burning gaze greeted me so I adjusted my expression. "The Priest is asking you!" he said stiffly.

Eh? I turned to the Priest and saw him looking at me. "Ahehehe. Please repeat, sorry the bride is a bit deaf!" I said.

The old Priest took a deep breath. "You girl, do you accept this man to be your wife and blah blah blah blah blah oink oink meeeeeh meeehh awww aaww meow..." I felt Bennet's grip on my hand tighten.

It's like he's saying 'go ahead, say no and you'll leave the church with no arms'. That's it. There is a threat behind our sweet, sweet holding hands. I smiled. Of the essence of sweetness. "I accept, Father!" I receive steam in the nose and against the chest.

The Priest said something else... things about the eternal, the light of the home, pillars, children, and other nonsense.

I just nodded and smiled.

Came to wear a ring. Bennet and I faced each other and I couldn't stop rolling my eyes at him so his eyebrows automatically went up again.

Sweet. Bennet took my hand and put a ring on it. Then he spoke words worth the hundred million dollars he paid to me. I stopped laughing, he spoke of forever and love as if he believed those fvcking words. I only know that he can promise me hell.

I hate him already. I hate him for calling me, Nicky. I imitated Bennet and also took the ring and put it on his finger. Then I looked up and stared straight into his menacing deep brown eyes. I was even surprised because my chest suddenly heaved.

I forgot what I was going to say. "Mmmmm. Wait... what are my lines?" I asked Bennet. He immediately frowned. "Lol. Don't be angry. I have short-term memory loss. Wait... here it is. Mmmmmm. Zehel..." I stared into Bennet's eyes, then I said things that came directly from me.. to Kylie and not to Nicky. "I don't promise anything. As a wife, I'll just do what I have to do. No promises.

I'll support you in everything you want to do..." only if you make me suffer, "...I'll love you !" Eeeekkk! Phew! "...make coffee, I'll fix your tie and whatever else. That's my obligation, as long as you don't bother me too much, it's fine with me..." The people laughed guests at the wedding and I also saw the tip of Bennet's lips twitch. "Leave the house to me... I'll take care of that.

My only request is to let me take care of a hippopotamus in the swimming pool. That's the pet I want..." Laughter erupted inside the church along with more confusion on Bennet's face. It's like just a little bit, he will feed me the ring.

lol Haha.

I reciprocated his surprise earlier. "Hehehe. Love you!" I said while putting the ring on Bennet's finger. The laughter of the guests was still resounding while Bennet's forehead was wrinkled, but eventually, his expression settled down.

He just gave me a strange look. It's like... measuring. We faced the Priest holding hands, and something knocked again in my chest due to the heat brought by the application of Bennet's palm to my hand. I don't know, maybe I'm just confused.

The Priest ordered something again. My brain is offline again. It just went online again when I heard the one word I swear to hear, the... "I now pronounce you man and wife... you may now KISS the bride!" announced the priest. My eyes widened.

kiss kiss kiss I haven't even become addicted to the word kiss, Bennet suddenly pulled me in and brought me to him. I swallowed. "What's wrong?" Bennet asked with a grin. "Don't tell me, you're still embarrassed Sweetheart? We always do that, remember?" Son of tofu! I want to shout that it's not me. No one has ever kissed me in my entire life!! Well, except if I counted kissing the camel, the phyton, and the chimpanzee when I was in Brazil. And they look a far cry from Bennet.

Juice colored! Help! I swallowed again when Bennet brought his face closer to mine. I can't close my eyes, I feel like I'm going to squint. My chest was beating hard.

I looked at Bennet's face and I imagined he was a chimpanzee. Pretend I'm going to kiss a chimpanzee. Because that's better for me. I can be an animal. "You're just a chimpanzee... you're just a chimpanzee. I shouldn't be afraid, you're just a chimpanzee..." as I imagined so intensely, I said what was on my mind. "Who are you calling a chimpanzee?!" Bennet suddenly snorted angrily. Oh, shoot! He heard. "Hey hey!" Dead. "Chimpanzee? Nothing! I just remembered my pet before...

because I always used to kiss it. He he." Bennet winced and suddenly walked away from him. It seems that he suddenly changed his mind about kissing me when he found out that I was kissing a monkey. Hahahaha! I scratched my head and faced the Priest. "Kiss now!" he said. I shook my head. "Just at home, to be private." But Bennet pulled me towards him again and then he suddenly kissed me... on the forehead! On the forehead! On the forehead! Am I a grandmother? Putrigas! Not even on the cheek, does he hate Nicky that much? I didn't reveal that I had a bad trip. I won't give him the satisfaction of knowing that he's pissing me off already.

But I didn't smile when he looked at me. Finally, we are done with this nonsense. Or maybe not, it's just the beginning of my hellish relationship with my husband. The guests applauded and then greeted Bennet with a killer 'Best Wishes!' Bennet's family greeted me first. The clan of the Leofwins.

"So it's Aunt Nicky already! Welcome to the family!" Lukas greeted me with a smile when he approached me.

He was tailing a teenage boy who looked a lot like Bennet. The child's face is especially serious.

"Thank you!" I just said.

I want to correct that my name is Cole and not Nicky but it's nonsense to do that. I just turned to the teenage version of Bennet.

"Ah! This is my younger brother, CiN," Lukas introduced the teenage boy.

"Hello, CiN!" I greeted the man enthusiastically. CiN just looked at me from head to toe then he smirked and turned away. I frowned.

Not only does he look like Bennet... they also have the same personality. There is devilishness without mode.

"Ah don't mind CiN," said Lukas.

"It's just..." "...he's just an inheritance from his Uncle!" I don't have anything inside of me. Rave laughed out loud.

"Exactly!" I looked at Bennet and saw that he was looking at me badly.
