Hana's Point of View »»————-  ❤   ————-««   He never calls me at this hour, I wonder why, I placed the fruits in the push cart , I was about to answer his call when it suddenly stops from ringing, What? Did he just got tired from waiting? I hope not, Nevermind, I sighed, disregarding the call, I would never call him back, that'll be very uncomfortable to me, I hurried collecting some foods from the shelves, who would have thought that grocery shopping could be so fun? I picked and picked whatever Marco may like, of course I grabbed some food that I liked too. It took me only a half hour to finish and went in the cashier lane, to see my push cart all occupied and heavy. Made me think how I even managed to push this cart up to this point, I'm still holding the phone and staring on Marco's missed call 32 minutes ago, I bit my lips, what he did is making me worry, What if something bad happens to him? Gosh, of course he will call someone useful to help him instead of me, A couple of minutes of waiting in the lane, finally it's my turn so I placed my groceries by the counter. When I handed out the last batch, I saw a condom at side of the counter, I stopped and stared at it, Even the lady who has been punching my groceries took a glanced at me, I diverted my gaze from the boxes of condoms, Do Marco wears those? I don't think so, When he get very irritated, he always drastically removed it and continued on making out with me, I pouted in annoyance, He's so care free and reckless whenever he loses his control, I grabbed 3 boxes, to my surprise it's  strawberry flavor, I flushed as I slide it on the counter, I wonder if he uses condom with any women he make out with. Or does he even make out with other women other than me? Gross, The lady in the cashier cleared her throat that caught my attention, "9,549 pesos, miss." She gave me a meek smile, I startled and fidgeted as I searched for my wallet, When I opened my wallet, I counted my money one by one repeatedly, My cheeks turned cold and I went pale, anxiously I counted it once more and that's it, It's only 5,000 pesos, This is so scary, I might get arrested, I took a nervous peek at my groceries that were already punched, I'm so dead. "Ma'am?" The lady waited for me impatiently, suspicion is clear on her face, I grabbed my phone immediately, as I took a peek on the people behind me getting frustrated from waiting in the line, some are complaining, I search in the contacts to find Marco's full name written in it, My thumb is shaking and hesitating, I don't want to bother him to some simple trouble I got myself into.. I heard people around the cashier gasped in awe and surprise clamouring, as if there's some show coming, I gasped sharply when I felt a heavy hand by my shoulder,  I turned around to see a man who has the same posture and frame as Marco, But the thing is, he isn't him, I leveled my gazed to see him lending me a bulk of money,  "Take this." His tired and cold voice were piercing, but his lime green eyes were cool and refreshing, only a hint of eyebags under his eyes are the flaws from his god-like features. I nodded slowly, and accepted his offer, I heard women from other counters gossiping at me, others were glaring, Who is he anyway? I handed the money to the lady who were shivering in excitement when she met the man who lended me the money, I glanced at him and he was standing at the end of the counter, looking around as if it's his first time coming here, When the lady gave me the change, I hurried walking towards him to lend him all the money I have, "H-here--," "I don't need that," he shoved my hand away and I faltered back in surprise, "What I need from you, is for you to come with me," Marco's Point of View »»————-  ❤   ————-««   I was about to call Hana again, to ask her if she's okay, or where the hell she is, When Raine grabbed me from behind her long red nails digging on my suit, smelling her excessive perfume, and feeling her soft and feminine body on my back, "Babe, it's our anniversary," Raine called out to me. Purring like a spoiled stray cat, I cut the call immediately and placed my phone in my pocket. I cleared my throat, " is it..?" I tiredly ask stopping myself from sneezing , then I felt Raine pressed her soft breast on my arms, "Can we have a..uhm.. one night stand..?" She whispered, faking a coy soft voice, She's more like a slut to me, than a friend before all this engagement happened. I scoffed, after I pulled away my arms from her grasp,  One night stand, huh? My eyes travels from her red stiletto, to her slender milky legs, and curved waist wearing a tight red sleeveless dress, I bit my lips, resisting, She steps forward and supressed a moan, I smiled devilishly, when she pressed her breast even more,  "Hmm..?" she sweetly respond on my reaction, I stared at her face with my hands inside my pocket, My eyes widened when I saw how thick her make up is , with layers of foundation and lipstick. What the f**k? Is she a clown or what? You've gotta be kidding me,  I curled my lips into a thin line, and flashed a frustrated look, I removed her arms that were entangled on mine, and I started walking towards my office, "This is bullshit," I muttered, walking a meter away from her, is like breathing a fresh air, "Hey Marco, where are you going?! What about my request?" she pouted and crosses her arms, making an irritating noise in the hallway, I stopped my pace, I didn't face her and only replied with a tired sigh, "We're not yet married.." after I told her that with a cold respond, I continued walking and entered my office room, ignoring her dubious ignorant yell.  I sat on my black leather coach, I sighed deeply, That woman.. she's not my type.  How the hell I ended up with her? She's just a friend from Italy that people kept on pushing us to be together, Because we were alike, And that's a lie. I left my childish act, but she didn't, And that's her lost. Father forced me to get through this bullshit marriage contract, for the sake of his damn company. He's way too selfish. Even Mother never knew the situation she put me into. No, I can't blame her, She sacrificed so much, for me to put the weight on my mother. I grabbed my paperwork, and  checked every documents, loans,profits,budgets, and its purchases. I nodded with satisfaction,  "Good.." I sincerely whispered to myself.  I started working all day, I'm not taking my over time here in my office. I can't do that. For now, I'm still enjoying my mischievous life.  Father is still healthy as a horse, let him grind his ass off. After all, he's a freak who wants me to work on his extra papers, I'm nothing more like a secretary to him than his eligible heir, At exactly 7:00 pm I packed up my things and left my office room. I didn't informed my father, I don't want to talk nuisance with him.  Who goes saying 'I'm off' to their father anyways? I'm on my way  to the parking area and was a meter close by to my car when my phone vibrates in my pocket. A message from Jones?  Jones is my cousin, but I ended up treating him like a brother of mine, out of pity my father took him in eversince he lost his parents, father send him to college abroad and all,  But still he wants to be independent instead of naming himself an Anderson, he stick with the name 'Ronin'. I sniffed, for what I know,  Ronins are weakling. I read his text message, and my eyes widened, ' Hey, brother, do you know this woman, 'Hana Calista?'.  ' A cold sweat runs down on my neck,  I knew this will happen, I shouldn't have let Hana out when Jones his around, He's so mindful from all his surroundings, Investigating about his parents death. Brought him to Hana, Damn it!  I gritted my teeth and exclaimed on the side of my car, this is all my fault not informing Hana about this!    Hana is too innocent to act, I should've known, To even warn her about a man with the same presence as mine, Jones, I ignored his text message instead, that'll make him think I'm still busy in working.  I sighed nervously,  How should I put this?  Hana's Point of View »»————-  ❤   ————-««   "Thank you, uh,--", My mind is buffering, I couldn't believe I ended up with Marco's cousin, he even showed me a photo of them together, "It's Jones and you are?" He tilted his head to me, What? I told him already awhile ago. . "Hana. . Calista?" I spoke as if I'm unsure about my name, but I regretted after I said my name, My identity should be a secret, damn it.. I bit my lips, He smiled with his dimple showing , lending me a cup of coffee,  I nodded slowly, gawking at his well built body, I know I'm too obvious, but he is too obviously good looking, He winked at me smiling, I stared back on the coffee that he gave me, I took a sipped and he walked to the corner, He told me that this place is one of his mansions, he has been away from time to time, and he said it's because he's running his own company, compared to Marco who is currently waiting to take his father's position, That's how eager and honest Jones is towards me,  Why would he even tell me about Marco's identity? How could he trust me so easily? He looks foreign to me, with his green eyes glimmering in that corner, Dirty blonde hair, it looks like dyed blonde to me. He was talking in the phone at the corner,  I shouldn't be here, I'm still clueless, I hope Marco will call me already, I don't want to be involved in his family affairs, or else. .  He walks towards me with his thumb still tapping on his phone, I took the chance to ask him, "Why did you brought me here, Jones?" The warmth of the coffee doesn't fizzes me anymore, With my lips slightly opened, he rose my chin with his fingers, Now I'm looking up to his handsome feature, smiling to me, Only now I realized that he isn't really smiling at all, to see his lips curling into a smile, but his eyes weren't glad to even suppress a real smile,  He's pretending, My eyebrows furrowed, and I saw him noticed me do that, He flashed a smirk, This is making me feel like I'm competing with him, "His full name is written on your phone, and it seems that you have been waiting for him to call you back again," he snapped his fingers as if he pushed the button and it started pouring confetti,  But yes it's true, I couldn't believe that I was too obvious inside the market, Or it's more than him peeking at Marco's name on my phone? My eyes followed him changing paces as if he's dancing when he hit the right answer, "And you were. . . In trouble and was about to call him, aren't you?" He lifted up his face as if I'm some girl who's asking a rich man for money, I'm no beggar,  My eyes hardened on him,with my fingertips gripping on the cup he gave me now turning cold, "Who are you, Hana? What's your relationship with Marco, hm?" Jones leaned his face close to me, I smell his breath and it smells like cigarettes and mint candy, My heart is now pounding like crazy, he's not asking me because he doesn't know anything about me, He's asking me as if he already knew me and wants to know me more,  Now with his curious action, he's forcing me, I can't defend myself, he's looking at me for an opening, "I never heard your name before, Hana." He hardened his voice with doubt and mischief,  I swallowed, as I diverted my eyes from him and looked at the cup of coffee I'm holding,  My hands are now trembling, The atmosphere around us dropped cold and heavied, He leaned closer and closer until there's no room between us,  His lips almost touching mine, and I want to cringe and puke, still I sat frozen, His phone rang , the once silent room lifted up the mood inbetween us, "Oh, it's Marco,"  Jones spatted, with his eyes now glued at his phone, I exhaled gently, thank goodness, Jones glanced at me for a second then he finally answered the call, My heart palpitates waiting for him to speak, and to know what Marco have to say when he found out I'm with his cousin, I saw Jones smiled mischievously,  That made my chest go numb, It felt like I'm in a movie and both of them are plotting to throw me away to some murderer or sell me to a drug dealer in exchange of some drugs instead of spilling me to their parents or any wealthy people, I shallowly panted, My eyes popped out when I heard them spoke to eachother in different language, Their tonality was serious in a second and the next thing I knew is that Jones is already laughing it out, with his eyes kept on glancing at me , but I could see to his face that he's faking it, I glared at him, as he dropped the call,  not even telling me anything about what Marco told him, He purposely spoke in foreign language in order for me not to understand whatever they're talking about, Jones flashed me a smirk while he took a huge step towards me , now flashing me a wide grin, whatever is his intentions are,  I wouldn't like it. »»————-  ❤   ————-«« ┌───── •✧✧• ─────┐    thank you for reading └───── •✧✧• ─────┘
