Be Yours, Mr Dangerous

Chapter 1

Adriana's POV.

What is the meaning of life?

I don't really know either. My life, however, was like a drowning that made me unable to breathe correctly.

I rubbed my face, pushing away the frustration in my heart. All this time, I felt that I had lived a life that felt very empty. It was like a chain that was firmly tied around my shoulders.

This was really heavy.

I exhaled. Trying to get rid of some of the burden in my life.

"Again, this job is taking up too much of my time," I complained again. It wasn't even my heart that was tired, but also my body until things got even heavier.

I walked home from work, heading home with an uncomfortable feeling. But unintentionally, my gaze fell on a car that had stopped not far from me. I stopped my steps when I saw a sexy woman getting out of the vehicle. This really caught my attention.

My gaze was riveted on the woman wearing a bright red dress with matching lip color. She was also carrying a small bouquet in her left hand. And at that moment, she was walking towards me.

It didn't take too long. The woman was now standing right in front of me. And that pair of sharp eyes, looking at me. Until now, our gazes had been locked.

"Are you Adriana?" She asked with a sardonic look.

I didn't know who she was, but how did she know my name? This was strange. Not wanting to answer anything, I just stared at her with a cold gaze. Paying more intense attention to the woman in front of me.

The woman whose name I didn't want to know, extended her left hand, handing me a bouquet of flowers very impolitely. I accepted it with confusion and I carried it with an uneasy feeling. This woman is like the two-headed snake I once read about in a story.

"What's this?" I asked while glancing at the bouquet that had moved in my hand.

There was no clear answer, but the woman was now looking at me with a smirk. And I knew that her intentions were indeed not a good thing.

I didn't know this woman, but the scent of her perfume was soft like flowers like I had smelled it before. And before I could really remember, she spoke again, "You're a very pathetic woman, aren't you?"

Not a single word came out of my mouth. Even I felt a clear bitterness when I heard those words from that woman. What she said was the right thing. With the life I'm living right now, I'm really fed up. The person I love has, in fact, become poison.

The funny thing is, I'm a fool. I've worked so hard at so many things, but I can't enjoy my life. Often, I even ignore my friends who invite me to have fun...

"You must be unfortunate when a man will soon ignore you." The woman raised her lips again and said something quite surprising.

My forehead was immediately filled with wrinkles when I heard her words.

A man? Did she mean Simon? What else did he do? Like the wind blowing, I didn't think about her words. She's crazy, and why should I listen to her?

The woman returned a smile. She has something to hide. Suddenly, she spoke again, "Andriana, just wait. I'll send a gift to your house."

He surprised me. Compared to his reply, I looked at him coldly. Really, I didn't care about anything he said. I didn't even want to know anything about her.

Immediately, I gave an affirmation. "That's not necessary." I deliberately suppressed my words to her.

Apparently, that woman was not happy with my rejection. It was evident from the way she changed when looking at me, then just left. Really, I don't know, but she was extraordinary. "She really is a crazy woman."

I forgot about that woman. I really don't care. This tiredness makes me want to go home immediately and rest in peace. That would be better for me. I didn't want to waste my energy just thinking about a woman who was utterly, completely unimportant.

When I got inside my apartment, I pressed my throbbing forehead. "A warm bath is a good idea," I spoke softly. I just wanted to relax immediately.

I couldn't wait to do it. Just as I was about to throw the bag, I faintly heard something that made me stop my steps. I stayed silent for a while to confirm the sound that was getting more intense.

And this time I knew it. A sighing sound that was getting stronger. When I realized it my eyes sharpened at that moment.

"Ahh, Simon, this is really very good. Move faster."

"Simon, I'm getting impatient. Ohhh."

My heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. I was pretty surprised by the sound. In fact, the sighing sound was heard so clearly that my chest became pounding.

This was not the pain of jealousy. I knew very well that it was a woman's voice. No tears were falling down my cheeks. I couldn't even believe that my face looked flat, emphasizing that I was still okay. But there was no denying it. There was a massive anger in my heart. This feeling seemed to push me over and over again.

"Simon, this is better. This is so good." I heard that voice again, along with small urges that made me feel disgusted.

I was so disgusted by that voice. Yet, there was a strong pull to go there. Even my footsteps were light as I searched for the source of the voice that I was sure was inside the room.

I stopped my steps, standing in front of the wide-open room. I guess they didn't close it on purpose. This looks pretty disgusting. But right now, I could clearly see how Simon was holding the hips of a woman who was moving wildly on top of him.

The woman kept twisting her body very erotically. They seemed to be enjoying the game, which is evident from the sighs that both came out of their mouths. And now and then, Simon's hand squeezed the woman's pelvis. Until I realized, she was the woman who had previously given me a bouquet of flowers.

Oh, so apparently, this is the gift she wanted to send directly to my house? My stomach is turning! She's more than a b***h.

I guess the woman noticed my arrival. She immediately turned around and smiled at me triumphantly.

I didn't want to scream or beg for justice for the infidelity that was clearly in front of me. But at this moment, I clapped my hands very loudly, giving appreciation for what they had just done.

That made Simon open his eyes and look at me with great surprise. "A-Andriana?" His voice seemed to be the smallest hoarse because he had been preoccupied with their crazy game.

There were no painful feelings, so I could see this with a flat face. The body that was previously tired now became lighter.

This time, I looked at the woman who was still on top of Simon's body. Even as I looked at her, she deliberately wiggled her hips. I smiled at her. Convincing her that her actions were futile. Because there was no hint of jealousy in seeing her like that.

I quickly spoke, "I have absolutely no idea who you are, and I have no interest in finding out."

"but I am very grateful for the gift you gave me. And just take the burden of my life." I said it with great emphasis.

I felt strange, but at that moment, it was like I had an epiphany. I wanted to live freely. And Simon was the burden. All this time, he was the man who was always giving me trouble. I didn't want to waste my time on a man like him.

"Adriana, wait!" Simon shouted quite loudly.

I didn't care about his shouting at all. I kept walking and no longer wanted to be in the same place.

Even that woman didn't know that her actions were helping me. I'm not even passionate about living or spending my life with Simon...

All this time, I felt that as long as I was with Simon, my life was like being in deep mud. I didn't even have the strength to leave or rise from the mud.

I always looked forward to the time when I could get the freedom to part with Simon. But I had no idea that the way to get that freedom was for Simon to have an affair with another woman.

I smiled again when I was finally free. I pulled back the corners and looked up at the clouds to my left.

Isn't it so lovely to enjoy time like this?

I took a deep breath and exhaled. I did so repeatedly with a big smile. "Ah, I will really enjoy this life.".
