Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Aviena's POV

I don’t know how I allowed Veron with what she wanted but I just saw myself drinking with her while we were in the living room.

“Damn him. He told me that he likes me but after that, he didn't show up here at home!” I angrily said. My vision is already getting blurry due to the effects of alcohol as well because of my tears.

“Those idiots are really like that! Will try to take care of you but eventually they will be the ones hurting you too! ”

Veron and I have always shared our resentment with each other.

“Fuck him, Beh, can't you believe that wants me to clean the whole mansion in an hour? That idiot even managed to put the helpers off while I was left there? One day I'm going to hit that fucking idiot!” Veron furiously said. We both giggled eventually.

"Both of them are handsome but both of them are stupid too." I was giggling with Veron. I don’t know if that was the effect of alcohol but I was already laughing with Veron. Our emotions just keep on mixing.

“But damn, I like him so bad. I like him even when he doesn't like me at all,” I cried saying that to Veron.

“Same, Beh! Even though he's stupid and has a big ass, I still like him but he's still an asshole! Someday I'll really cut his junior! ” Veron shouted loudly so I laughed again.

We just stopped when we heard that someone was coming inside the condo. Veron and I immediately widened our eyes because of that.

"Thief!" Veron and I said at the same time and we both held on to each other.

"Come on, there's a thief in your penthouse!" Veron yelled at me so I also immediately felt scared before I took my Stitch and my Scooby-doo stuffed toy.

“Hala! They might steal Stitch and Scooby-doo! My husband gave it to me!” I said that I even hugged them. Veron and I both huddled together on the sofa for fear that the thieves would kill us.

The roar of my heart grew louder when I heard a few steps toward our place. Veron and I got even closer to each other until the thieves confronted us.

"Omg, handsome, Beh!" Veron said to me while looking at the two men in front of us. One has blue eyes and the other one has black.

“Omg! That's my husband's eye color, Beh!” I said to Veron who was still elbowing me.

"The other one looks like my demon boss!" Veron was still laughing and so was I.

We just laughed and laughed before we drink the wine.

"That's enough for today, Wife." I stopped when I heard that voice. Only then did I realize the tears were dripping when Veron spoke.

“Omg, you are crying, Beh! Hey, what did you do, huh? Why did you make her cry?!” she shouted at them.

A fickle on the forehead he received from the man with black eyes.

"Let's go home now, My Slave," the man said to her so Veron's eyes immediately widened before standing on the sofa.

“Don't come any closer! You demon! I'm mad at you! How dare you do that to me? I hate you!” Veron shouted loudly before bowing down as if holding a gun. I just laughed there before wiping away the tears.

Soon the man lifted her on his shoulder.

“We’ll get going. I'm sorry for the trouble my woman made,” the man said as Veron struggled with him. I also couldn't stop myself from approaching and trying to help Veron but someone held my waist.

“He’ll bring her home, Wife. Don't worry,” the guy with blue eyes said. When I looked back at him, it was as if I was drowning in his eyes again.

“Okay,” I weakly said when I realize that his whole focus is already on mine.

Instead of standing up, I drank more alcohol, especially since I couldn't afford to see his eyes looking at me now.

“You’re already drunk. I'll tuck you in bed. You should rest now,” he said to me before he came closer to snatch the bottle of wine that I was holding.

"What?!" I shouted at him loudly before I looked at him.

“Stop drinking now. You drink too much,” he told me. Without saying a word, he lifts me up. That fucking bridal carry. Instead of fighting with him, I just stared at him. Those blue eyes look like he already has a lot to think about.

"Damn you you really know how to make me shut up…" I said weakly. He's my husband. Not really someone who will steal here.

When he lowered me to bed, I couldn't stop crying before turning my back on him. I miss him so much. I miss him so damn much.

"Why are you crying? Is there something wrong? Does anything hurt? What happened?” He even seat in front of me just to see my face. I can't believe him! He's really asking what happened. How thick his face can be, huh? I couldn’t help but stand up before glaring at him.

“Shut up! I hate you! So damn much!” I shouted angrily at him. I could see the slight shock in his eyes. I don't know if it was just my imagination but I saw the pain on his face.

"You can't even go home and even show up to me?!" I shouted loudly as I pushed his chest with my index finger.

“I thought you said that this is what you want?” he asked me before grabbing my wrist to stop pushing him.

“Fuck you! Who said that's what I want?” I asked with tears on my face.

"Then what do you want, Wife?" His gentle voice seemed to have no intention of fighting with me. I couldn't help but look at him. How can he act this way to me?

“You even have the guts to say that you like me when you’re seeing other girls?! How thick is your face to fool around me? Do you think I'll fucking believe you?!” I shouted at him even louder.

"Of course, I will..." I weakly said. Contradicting myself.

"But after saying that… you didn't even come home… Fuck you, really… You really know how to fucking get me…" I said weakly. I stop shouting at him.

"I'm sorry for violating our contract…"

"I hate you but damn, I think I'm slowly falling in love with an asshole like you," I weakly said not to even looking at him. I didn't have a hard time removing his grip on me because he loosened up a bit.

I was about to go back to lying down when he grabbed my arm before facing him.

“What did you say, Wife?” he asked weakly as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

"I won't say it again…" I said, trying to remove his hand but before I could do that, I was the one who weakened when he covered my lips with his. He gently pushed me to lie down on the bed before deeply kissing my lips. I was about to hold him when he stopped.

"Let's continue in the morning when you're sober," he whispered softly to me. I don't know if the conversation was what he was talking about or something else.

I was also too sleepy but I feel like my heart will be going to pump out of my chest.

The last thing that I know is he kiss me on my forehead before saying something I didn't expect him to say.

"I love you, Wife." That was the last word I heard before falling asleep.

I WOKE up early in the morning with a headache. I still remember what happened last night, the reason why I can't help but be shocked at myself. What the heck did you just do, Aviena? Alcohol is not really good for you, huh?!

I was about to stand up when I realized I couldn't do it because I was trapped in the arms of someone I didn't know how to deal with right now. I saw River looking at me when he saw that I'm awake. I was so nervous that I just closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

I heard a faint laugh from him. I just closed my eyes even more because of his laughter.

It's like I'm crazy pretending to sleep in a mess just to get out of his arm but this guy seems like he doesn't even plan to do that.

"There's really a time when you're not good with acting," he said so I immediately looked at him before glaring at him.

"What?" I gave him a bad look. He just laughed and instead of arguing with me, he pulled me closer to him.

“Oh, I need to go! I have a shoot! ” I said just to escape him because I could feel the redness on my cheeks especially when I remember what happened last night. The way I shouted and cried at him. You're really embarrassing, Aviena.

“You don’t have a shoot today. It's your day off,” he said so I immediately pouted. Right. I can't take that as an excuse, huh?

“Right… I’m hungry now… I need to eat. Can you please let me go? ” I asked him.

"I won't until we continue our conversation last night," he said looking me in the eyes now.

“Huh? My head hurts. I can't remember it at all.” I still laughed awkwardly while his eyes were just staring at me. There was a grin on his lips.

“Really? You can't remember asking for sex after a long night of missing me?” he asked so my lips immediately felt opened.

“How thick your face can be?! I didn't say anything like that!” I shouted loudly at him so he laughed.

"You can't remember, huh?" he asked with a smile so I just turned around.

"Fine… I remember it all," I said, averting my eyes.

“What you said last night… Is it true?” he asked. I notice the softness of his voice. I nodded slowly.

“That’s right. I'm sorry for breaching the contract. I'm already falling for you… I just keep on missing you… But don't worry… I won't let my feeling interfere with what—” Before I could finish what I was going to say, he gave me a kiss.

"Let's terminate the contract… Let's get married for real…" he whispered to me so my eyes widened while looking at him.

"What?" I asked confused but he just smiled before shrugging.

“I like you since then but I’m sure my feelings have already changed. It's deeper than that… I don't think I can love someone this much again… ” he whispered softly while just looking into my eyes now.

“You love me but you’re dating someone else, huh? How nice,” I said with a glare given to him.

“What? I never dated someone else when we get married,” he said to me in a soft voice as if he didn't want to argue anymore.

“Huh! That's why you often meet Kylie Denise. That's why you are the only person she keeps on posting in her private account. You didn't date, huh?” I asked with sharp eyes looking at him.

“Ms. Denise was actually a business partner of our company. And I don't know what you're talking about. We didn't date. If you aren't comfortable with her, I can cut ties with their company and of course with her.” He seems like he was able to do that just to keep me quiet. He won't lie.

“There’s no need for that. Fine… I'll take your words,” I said with a sigh.

"But it seems like that girl likes you… Maybe you gave her hope that you'll like her back," I said so he shook her head.

"Believe me I don't… We're just a business partner… I promise… you can check our meetings and my whereabouts for the past few weeks when you didn't talk to me…" he said, ready to call his secretary.

“Okay, I believe you. But damn you! I wasn't the one who didn't talk to you! You ghosted me when we're on Batanes!” I said angrily to him.

"I was just trying to cool down my head for a while seeing my wife getting kissed by some asshole…" he said. Now his eyes looked dark. I couldn’t help but part my lips because of that.

“So you came…” I said weakly. It's like I want to be annoyed with myself now.

“I'm sorry… I was off-guarded that time… He said that he likes me…”

“Everyone knows that he likes you. You're the only one who doesn't,” he said, still scolding me. I can't avoid pouting because of that.

"And damn… I just cool down my head but my wife won't talk to me unless I texted her… She even takes a vacation when her husband is already losing his mind thinking that she was with that asshole," he said, getting annoyed. I couldn’t help but be pouty there.

"I'm sorry… I just really thought you're dating someone else now…" I said trying to touch his cheek.

"I'm still mad and want to kill your friend but seems like I don't need to, especially since you like me." Wow!

He smiled before turning his face to me just to crush me with a kiss.

"There's still something we also need to continue this morning, Wife," he whispered with his threatening voice as if I need to prepare because we will be here in bed until the next day.
