Chapter 42: Chapter 42

I was drafting a building project when my secretary called to informed me that Mr. Monasterio came and would like to talk to me.

I was confused and a bit nervous because it's been months since we last saw each other.

Well plus the fact that I like his only daughter. Damn it.

After a while, uncle Deyniel finally entered my office. I saw him lose weight since I last saw him but I ignored that.

"Sit down" I said politely and offered the chair in front of me. He smiled and sat down before sneezing.

"I will not wander around anymore. I am here to ask you to marry my daughter." he formally stopped my breathing.

What did he say again?

"W-what again?" I stuttered and sat up.

He smiled at me and looked me straight in the eye.

"I am asking you to marry my daughter Andrei." he spoke softly as if he were stamping it on my mind.

"Why of all a sudden uncle?" I could not help but ask.

My forehead furrowed in my mind at the thought of bankruptcy. That is impossible.

"Do not you like?" he asked me again.

I was caught off guard which made him chuckled for a second before returning to being serious.

"I am asking you personally Andrei. Marry my daughter." he said again. That does not ask nor does it plead.

That was a command I had to make and I had no right to refuse but why did someone else come to me? I feel like that was a chance that suddenly fell on me, a chance I would never have considered.

Hell I'll do everything to make her mine.

I let out a deep breath before looking at uncle seriously. "When do you want me to marry your daughter?" I asked him.

I could see the slight relief on his face. I don't know why they do it but then I will focus on that when we are together.

"I want you to get married as soon as possible." he answered.

I smirked on my mind. Well it's my lucky day so I'll spend it.

"You mean two days from now Sir?" I said and hide my smile.

Uncle was a little taken aback but also recovered quickly and laughed weakly.

"You are really whipped by my daughter." he said and looked at me with a smile.

"Take care of her Andrei and do me a favor." all of a sudden he became. Even if I wanted to raise an eyebrow at him, it was rude.

"What is it?" I politely asked.

"Keep your eyes on her. Keep her safe always" he said. There's no emotion on his face but his eyes are full of fear and sadness.

I wanted to asked more but I think I'm going to cross the line so I stop. We just talked about our wedding, Auntie told me on phone what Casssandra's dream wedding is before uncle leave. I canceled all my appointments and projects and focused on our upcoming wedding.

Fvck! I felt so nervous. How if she declined?

Later that day, I went to bar to freshen up and seems like destiny was really playing with us. I saw her dancing with her friend on the dancefloor, good thing this bar is private and a high end one so there are no rude people.

The minute passed as my eyes just remained as I watched her in everything she was doing. I almost cursed my self when I felt my sword down there hardened as I see her grind her hips.

"This is a pure torture baby" I whispered and drank my whiskey.

A few more hours passed and she was completely drunk, I could see her staggering walk on the counter. They talked for a while until someone spoke to her on her phone. Little later I heard my phone rang, I was a bit surprised when it's uncle who's calling. I answered it and stunned when he asked me to take her daughter home, of course with her friend. I gladly obey. It's my chance to be with her so I didn't hesitate to approach her and tap her because she was already asleep.

She slowly opened his eyes. "Who are you?" his eyes widened as she spoke.

I smiled at her and put her runaway hair around the side of her ear. I expect her to flinched or punched me but she let me instead.

"I'm your fiance" I said.

She kept her eyes on me before smiling softly.

Damn it! my heart!

"I love your eyes though I hate that color" she mumbled as she cupped my face.

"So you are my fiance?" she asked like assuring something. I only responded with a nod because my attention was in her hand.

It feels good to touch by her.

"Can you please take care of me? Can we make our marriage happy even though it was arranged?" sadness was dripping in her voice.

I was a bit surprise again.

She didn't ask me to stop our wedding instead she's asking us to be okay even how hard the situation is for her. God! Why is she so nice?

"I promise I will take care of you, no need to asked for it because I'll do everything to make you happy, to make our relationship happy." I said and kissed her forehead.

She smiled at me and went to my shoulder. "I wanna go home, Argh! That fvckin Ayesha I'm going to slap her hard tomorrow, that bitch." she mumbled.

I laughed softly and supported her.

An angel with an attitude.

We were on our way home when I received a message from my girlfriend. I just closed my eyes in frustration, I almost forgot that I had a relationship. I looked at Cassandra who was fast asleep for a moment before calling Yhanna, my friend who was my relationship.

"I'm sorry Yhanna but I'm breaking up with you. I know I'm such a jerk but I really like someone else and now we are bound to marry each other. I'm sorry again." I can honestly say answer the other line.

She was silent for a moment before speaking. "Can you give me a few days to get used to it? It's hard because you suddenly broke up with me after we got together." she said sadly. I just sighed and felt guilty, I did nothing but agree to her wishes.

- - - -

"Your wife looks hot" my friend Daevon whispered as I see her walked towards me with her parents.

I looked at him badly and whispered a cursed. He laughed softly and patted my shoulder.

My heart seemed to explode with excitement but I had to not let it be known. Maybe she will suddenly confused to my reaction when I cry here. Fvck! I'll do everything to make her stay with me.

When I kissed her after the priest told me to. I felt like I kissed the most soft and sweet lips in my life. Damn it! I'm really whipped but it made me stunned when she thought ill of me. I can't blame her she saw me with other girl.

After the ceremony I looked at Yhanna, showing her by my look that I really like my wife so she just nodded and left.

When we got home and morning came. I am really surprised when she cooked for us like a husband and wife normally does. But I'm a bit hurt when I feel like she's not fighting for me, for our marriage. But despite of that I like her more, she can sacrifice herself for me to be happy like what she thinks.

Destiny was really playing with us. Same that day, I took her virginity. Of course I poured my seed on her, I want her to carry our child. I planned to so she won't get away with me. I almost cursed myself when she got hospitalized because of my uncontrolled libido. I stay away the next few days since she was released from the hospital so that what happened to the two of us would not happen again, I knew that she was still not really that good yet so I avoided it.

But destiny was really demonic, I was lividly jealous and I made love with her for several times. Marking her mine. I will make sure that she'll carry our child.

- - - -

I think my hell days came. There was a problem from one of our projects in America so we had to go immediately with my team. I want to go home but we are chasing a flight so I just texted everything. I remember again that I would admit to her that I love her because I feel that she thinks differently from what I do to her. That's why I also said that we will talk when I get home.

We were in America for a few days and that's how I tweaked myself when I read that uncle was gone. I hurriedly flied back. I am very sorry to auntie and my wife when I arrived but seems like my wife was preoccupied with something. I understand it, she's mourning her father that's why I gave her space. I accepted her cold treatment and silent glares. Hoping that after some couple of days we will be able to talk.

I had just arrived home from work when I caught up with her resting on the sofa. I tried to talk to her but she seems distant even though she told me that we're okay.

I would have called her to eat when I did not find her in the room, I looked for her and found her sleeping in the tub.

I picked her up and wiped her. Her eyes awoke for a while but she went back to sleep so I could do nothing but dress her up and just let her rest.

I was scared when she puked early in the morning. I thought something was not right on her body that's why I insist to bring her at the hospital but she kept declining. Then a thought pop up in my mind.

Could it be?

Days past I was so sure that she's carrying my child. I'm so fvckin happy at the same time hurt because she's hiding it from me. But I just let it go, as long as the important thing is that I take care of them with our future child so I adjusted my work schedules to watch over her. I was out for a moment to check some files and my world stopped when I came back, seeing her filled with blood.

No not our baby.

I was literally a wreck when she pushed me away. I can't live without her, without our baby. I tried to talk to her but she kept herself distance. That's why I tried to just send her a letter together with her favorite food. I drowned myself with liquor, I thought I'm just imagining her with me but I found out it was real when she started to cry.

Thank God for giving them back to me.

I thought everything will be okay. But like they said there will always be a storm after a calm weather. And this time it really breaks us apart.

It hurt so much when she asked in front of me that the two of us would separate. I can never do that. Call me selfish but I can't lose her just like that, so even though she went to America I followed her.

During the few days I spent there I was satisfied with even a glance. I was nervous one day she was rushing to get in her car, I followed her until she stopped and she entered a hospital.

What is she doing here? Is she sick? Who will take care of her? She's alone for petes sake. So when she left the hospital I immediately found out why she came here, only to find out that one of our children made it to stay with her mother's womb.

In all the storms that have befallen us I feel it is a sign to rise again, to hope and to resume.

I felt relieved when a familiar nurse came by, Azaia. Someone will going to look for them now. I was been careless that Azaia caught me but thank God she's not that nosy. She just let me continued what I'm doing like she doesn't care at all as long as I didn't do anything bad to her patient.

I was shocked when a month later Ayesha came. I called Daevon and found out that she left him, I did not ask more about them because they were alive but I made sure that if he needed a friend I was just here for him.

Many months later, Cassandra gave birth. I went back to the house where I was staying. I'm always cheap here and there, my heart seems to explode with worry until Azaia send me a pic captioned 'Congratulations Fvcker'. It's Cassandra carrying our child in her hand. A lone tear fell on my face.

Thank God they are safe.

I am so jealous and mad everytime Rozz is near my wife. I want to punch him hard, but I don't want to caused my wife a problem that's why I just focused on our son besides no one can get her away from me. We are still married, she's mine.

Cassandra and Ayesha started working that's why I asked Azaia if I can took care of my son. I will not let them see me, I just want to hold my son and be with his side everytime he grows up.

Maybe she felt sorry for me so she agreed to my wishes. Every morning after the two of them left, I went there to take care of our child and left for thirty minutes before they got home to make sure they could not reach me.

"Daddy" my three year old son called.

"Yes son" I smiled in response and hugged him as we watched cartoons.

Azaia was with Daeshaia playing dolls and cooking whatever it is.

"Why do you always hide at Mommy?" he asked innocently.

I was stunned for a moment then he was presented to me. I tried to smile at him and gently ruffled his hair.

"Are you having a difficulty, son?" I asked, he immediately shook his head.

"It is you Daddy who is suffering not me" he answered.

I just smiled bitterly and kissed the top of his head.

"Someday son, we will all be together. I promised." I mumbled as I hugged him tight.

I'll do anything to fix our family baby because your mom and I chained to be together by our hearts.
