I'm the Big Boss Fake Wife

"How's the deal with Mr. Cruz, my son?" My father said and started pouring my wine glass. "It's a big yes, there's nothing to worry about," I said while looking at my wine. "That's good, Even the whole transaction is successful, I'm happy about that. Why don't you get married now?" Napahinto ako sa pag-ikot ng wine glass. Why is he suddenly asking that? Sumulyap ako sakaniya bago nagsalita. "That's another thing I would lastly do." I plainly answered at nilagok ang natitirang alak sa baso. Umiling ito sabay pakita saakin ng isang litrato. "This is her." He said and handed me a picture. I picked it up and stared intently as I felt something on my chest. Something I don't want to explain. I was shocked but I remained my face steady. "What about her?" I asked, not wanting to sound interested. My dad smiled and leaned on his chair. It's a stolen shot from a woman wearing a simple shirt and jeans. Her long brown hair is freely cascading down to her waist. Kapansin-pansin ang bilugan at kulay itim nitong mga mata. Her small nose is proud and that's perfect for her features. May kanipisan ang pang itaas niyang labi, but her lower part is a bit pouty. And it looks like she doesn't have any idea about bad things. Damn, she's innocent. I licked my lips while examining the girl's face in the picture. "She's Fabriana Martinez. A famous model, very kind, humble, and would differently perfect wife." "And your point?" "Ayaw mo namang makipag-blind date kaya ako na mismo ang naghanap ng babaeng pwede mong mapangasawa." Napaiwas ako ng tingin. But she looks innocent. It made me pissed for no apparent reason. "I'll think about it." I finally answered and put the glass down. I get his point. Kinuha ko ang white enveloped na naglalaman ng litrato ng babae at isinilid sa bulsa. "Okey, just decide it quickly. " "Why rush?" I mumbled getting pissed because of his eagerness. "I'm impatient! Excited na akong magkaapo! Even your mom pati na rin ang lolo mo, kaya pakibilisan dahil hindi na kami bumabata!" "Ask Drake for grandson's, he would definitely give you a lot." Bulalas ko sabay tayo upang umalis na. "Your brother is a womanizer but he knows his priority. Ikaw ang panganay kaya ikaw ang maunang magbigay." Napailing nalang ako sa naging rason niya. Halata naman hindi iyon ang dahilan kung bakit nais niya akong mag-asawa agad. Upang hindi na ako kulitin ni dad ay tumango ako. "Fine, I need to go. Dino is waiting for me." Paalam ko sabay kuha ng jacket sa table. He didn't reply and just nodded. Pagkalabas ng bahay ay agad kong pinuntahan ang nakaparada kong sasakyan. I immediately started the engine and drove fast. While driving I can't stop myself from thinking about that woman. Yeah, she's simply gorgeous that every man can't take their eyes off her. I won't lie that I'm one of those men. I can't forget her face kahit isang beses ko lang itong nasulyapan. Paano pa kaya sa personal? I bet she's more gorgeous. But I won't be swayed easily. Inihinto ko sa harap ng bar ni Dino ang kotse. Mabilis akong bumaba mula rito at walang pag-aalinlangang hinagis ang susi sa guard. He knows what to do. Pagpasok ay pinaghalong usok ng sigarilyo at malakas na sigawan ng mga tao ang sumalubong sakin. Agad naman akong umiwas sa maraming tao at hinanap si Dino. There I saw him drinking and flirting with a girl in the counter. Lumapit ako sa pwesto nito at hinawakan ang balikat. "Dude." Tawag ko. Agad na pumihit pa talikod si Dino at nakangising tiningnan ako. "Hey, man! Glad you came." Tinapik niya ang aking balikat at sinulyapan muli ang babae. "Sorry babe, let's continue later." Agad namang umalis ang babae na mukhang natakot sa presensya ko. Tinulak ko si Dino at nakipagpalit ng upuan. Narinig ko pa siyang bumulong ng "arte". Hindi ko siya pinansin at inayos na lamang ang damit. "Hey Marcus, give this man our new selling alcohol. Yung unang shot labas amats agad." I gave him the "what are you saying?" look. He chuckled and clicked his tongue. "I'm offering you our latest wine, surely you'll love this. And man hindi siya libre kailangan mo paring magbayad. Pero dahil magkaibigan tayo, I'll give you a discount." he advertise. "Whatever." Pagkatapos ay inabot sakin ng nagngangalang Marcus ang inumin. Walang pag-aalinlangan ko itong nilagok. When I'm done, agad kong binaba ang baso. My face remained cold and impassive. Dino, however, is waiting for my feedback. Ah! Itong wine nga pala ang dahilan kung bakit ako nandito. And Dino never disappoints me when it comes to wines. I smirked. "Not bad," I said and offer another drink. "Sabi na nga ba! At dahil nagustuhan mo wala na palang discount. Marcus, fill him for another drink." Napailing na lamang ako, what a conman. I roamed my eyes in my surroundings when I felt like someone is watching me. I glanced to my side; there I saw her. The woman he wanted to be my wife. Goddess, the only statement I can describe her beauty. Wearing a simple thin clothing sexy dress. Her hair is tied into one, and her innocent face that smiling at Marcus. I snapped, what the hell? Why is she smiling on that asshole?! And the heck with this bartender smiling back on her. Mukhang napansin ni Dino ang pagbago sa aura ko dahil mabilis nitong tinapik ang aking balikat. "Hey man, what's wrong?" "Fire that flirty bartender, I want him out of my sight." Naguguluhang tinuro ni Dino ang bartero. "You mean Marcus? What's up with him?" "You fired him, or I won't pay you." "Napakabasic naman bro, syempre susundin kita. Sayang naman magaling pa naman na barista iyang si Marcus.. matanong nga mamaya kong anong ginawa niyang mali." He mumbled. Napalingon akong muli sa kinaroroonan ng babae. Nagulat ako na nasaakin na pala ang atensyon niya. Again, I felt something I must not feel towards her. And that is lust. Damn!
