MYSTERIOUS PLACE PART 1

Melissa Fernando

I could feel the hot shining rays of the sun caressing my face. I wanted to open my eyes but the heavy light made it difficult. And the feeling, it was something else.

It wasn't the usual feeling I get when waking up even though my eyes are still closed.

Where am I?

Definitely not in my room because my room is a tad bit darker and, as a matter of fact, I don't feel the sun's rays.

I concentrated on the smell instead; it was a different kind of smell. And that strange sound. What was that again? Is my sense of hearing working well?!!

I hear the calm sound of waves crashing, the chirping of birds and the light whistles of the breeze.

That doesn't make sense; I was on a bed, eyes yet to open, feeling a bit light-headed and on top of that, the sound and smell.

Where am I, Lord?!

Finally, my eyes fluttered open, a white ceiling appeared in view, and my dream catcher wasn't hanging there.

What the hell? I looked at my surroundings and a gasp escaped from me. Now, this is obviously not what I was expecting. Then, after 2-3 seconds, everything came crashing like waves in my head.

My wedding! Oh my freaking God I'm married!! Is it really true?! Then, unexpectedly, the worst part came.

Aries Alexopoulos, he's yelling, his insults. My head began to pound thinking about everything.

I hate you with every fibre in my body, mother.

Gold digger just like your dearest.

I'll make your life a living hell.

You may be another Rosemary Fernando, but I'm no Johnathan.

Just drop the innocent facade because I know your type already.

I hate you with every fibre in my body,

I hate you with every fibre,

I hate you,

Hate

Hate

Hate

Fresh tears started to make their way out of my eyes thinking about him. About his views on me. So that's what he thinks of me. A gold-digging b***h.

He hates me, everybody enjoys hating me. Why is that?

But then again, if my own mother doesn't love me... then who else will? Is something wrong with me? Yeah, I think that's the case. Maybe it's because I'm crazy.

Yes, I know I'm crazy. I ramble a lot, and I talk nonsense all the time. I do a lot of crazy things.

Many people have told me that I'm crazy, even Demy, but she still sticks up with me.

I think that's because she is crazy too. We are both crazy. That is why we bang together.

My mother often tells me to stop kidding around and be serious in life. I agree I joke around a lot all the time, but I am serious when necessary.

I live my life normally like all others, but I just dislike being serious all the time. Jokes are important, and smiles are important. It makes your life lively.

I know that doesn't make sense, but that is just how I think. I dislike being with people who are the silent company most of the time.

I find that kind of life boring.

Wiping the tears with the back of my hand, I decided to search for a conclusion. I remember myself sobbing still in my wedding gown on the floor, and then I passed out.

But that is if my mind isn't playing games with me because right now, I am definitely not on the floor, not in my wedding dress and not in that room.

I was wearing my favourite pale blue Pj's with designs of cute little rabbits on them.

Who changed my dress, by the way?!!

Okay, now it's time to look for some answers, because not every day do you wake up and find yourself in a mysterious place.

Without wasting any time to go in the bathroom, I went directly outside the room, and I was met by a grand staircase. Instead of descending the stairs, and placing my butt on the wooden handrail, I decided to glide on it. It was so much fun doing that after a long time.

I used to do that a lot when I was a little girl.

And there was no one there to witness me in my Pj's gliding on the handrail of the stairs, so why not take the opportunity?

Now I guess I am in the living room. I walked on my tiptoes to the large wooden door and opened it slowly without making any noise and thee-

Oh my God! Lord, what is this?!!!

Definitely not what I was expecting but I should have known, that's why there was a different smell and that sound.

Wow...

I run on the golden-coloured sand, enjoying the burning feeling under my feet. I stood on the smooth sand, thrusting my feet deep inside while tilting my head towards the sun. I close my eyes at the incredible feeling.

Goodness!

Oh God, I like it...

This was like heaven on earth.

"Enjoying yourself very much, little merchandise?" I was caught off guard by the deep voice and fell flat on my ass.

"There, there be careful." I looked up and found the source of that deep voice, only to have my breath caught up in my throat.

Hell, who is this man? Is he human?

Nah... No, it can't be.

Maybe a vampire

Or perhaps a werewolf.

Why do handsome creatures keep appearing in my life these days? The man in front of me was the epitome of beauty. He had tousled dark brown hair which was thick and lustrous.

His eyes were mesmerizing deep ocean blue with a few grey specks. His face was strong and defined, his features were very model-like.

He had a playful smile on his perfect lips. As he looks deeply into my eyes, I blush, which causes the grin on his face to etch larger.

I agree this man was exquisite and handsome, but despite everything, he couldn't surpass Aries in beauty.

Aries was just another level.

"Merchandise, you're not listening, are you? Nope, you are not." I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

"I know I'm irresistible but you're a married woman, little merchandise!" He said arrogantly, raising his chin up.

"Oh cocky much you little- let me tell you something, you're not as good-looking as you think. Have you seen yourself in the mirror?! You look like a dying cockroach, your nose resembles that of a pig, and don't even get me started on the lips. Those lips of yours look like crocodiles' lips. Overall, you look like Pinocchio. Yeah, that is how you are."

I took a deep breath after delivering such a long speech. But I can't help it, I hate men who are cocky.

He was looking at me with an open mouth after he burst out laughing his heart out.

What the hell?!!

That was supposed to insult him, not entertain him.

"Oh-oh m-my dear merchandise, you amuse m-me to the full extent. No one has ever insulted my l-looks like that." He said through his laugh.

"Handsome, charming, irresistible, hot as hell, sexy, appealing, those are what I have been called by women. But never ever have I been called a 'dying cockroach' by a female until now." I stomped my foot in annoyance.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked him irritatingly.

He smirks then cracks his neck side to side as if preparing for a fight in the ring.

"Sam Drakos at your service, ma'am. You've got quite a temper for their little merchandise."

I was more annoyed, "And what's with the constant little merchandise?”

"That is the name I have chosen for you!" he said with a cheeky smile.

Damn, the man has a beautiful smile too, but I will never tell him that.

"Oh, so you go around giving people names, huh!" "The name suits you, my dear, admit it. That's why you are the merchandise."

"You fool, do I look like a stock of goods to you?!"

"Oh don't go all tigress on me little merchandise. Last night, Aries put your sleeping form in his jet and transferred you here without you having the slightest idea and the same goes for merchandise. It's transferred from one place to another in planes, ships or cars without it knowing because it's not a living thing. So, basically, you are like merchandise."

The i***t finally closed his mouth and looked at me, waiting for me to say something, I guess.

But I stayed quiet, which means I came here last night in Aries Alexopoulos's private jet. But where the hell was Aries Alexopoulos and how does this man know him?

Then again, who doesn't know Aries Alexopoulos? I thought sarcastically "I'm his best friend, your husband... You know what it means. He is my best friend and he left you here under my care a little merchandise, so better behave or else I will complain to the beast when he returns from his girlfriend."

What?!

"What are you saying, g-girlfriend?" I asked in a small voice and to be honest I didn't want to hear the answer.

"Oh little merchandise, no need to fret. The bastard doesn't know one thing about girlfriends. He never had a girlfriend apart from high school. My meaning of his girlfriend is his office. That friend of mine spends so much time in that office of his, so I named it his girlfriend."

Thank God!!

This man could've given me a heart attack.

I thought I had died for a second.

"Chit-chatting still in a pyjama suit with eye goo in the eye. That is quite inappropriate. Don't you think Miss Fernando?" My breathing stopped for a second, hearing his voice.

This man always comes with style and not to forget his suit and shiny shoes. So that means he has an office here on the island.

Wow...

"Talk about the devil!" I heard Sam Drakos murmur. I quickly made my way past them. I felt like the ugly duckling with my wrinkled Pj's, hair that resembled a bird's nest and an unclean face compared to His highest in all his designer clothes.

After like 15 minutes of calming my breath in the hallway, I walked to my destination.

I saw Aries going upstairs but the other i***t was nowhere in sight.

Where is Aries’ room anyway?! Upon entering the room, I made my way towards the bathroom door.

Gripping the handle, I pulled the door open and the sight in front of me-

OH MY GOD!!!!!

I did the only thing that I thought was fine.

I

Yelled

Loudly.

"Aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa....”
