“Are you okay? Do you need anything else?”
I don’t know how many times Lujan asked me that. I already assured him that I’m fine now but he kept on coming back here in my room checking on me. He's the one who's busy attending to my needs.
My husband?
I don’t know. Maybe he's busy taking care of his beloved Martina. When I saw Lujan’s face a while ago after he saved me I don’t know but I feel a little disappointed.
Coz you’re expecting someone.
Yeah, maybe I did. But I can’t help it. Even if I hate him at work we're still close and I’m his f*****g wife.
But instead of saving me, he just stood there and watch me saved by someone else.
I cover myself more because I feel cold. Lujan and Madam Sofia already gave me a comforter and open the heater but I still feel cold. I can feel my jaw shivering and I can’t even feel my hands. But I need to tell him that I'm okay for him to stop worrying about me. I still feel shame that he's the one taking care of me instead of my husband.
That’s what you get on getting in a fight.
I lay down and cover myself again. I still feel dizzy that I thought the room was moving every time I moved. I can even saw how my breath vapor form every time I open my mouth. My eyes feel heavy and it's watery maybe because of too much heat inside my body.
I don’t want to disturb Lujan and Madam Sofia that’s why I’m insisting that I’m okay. But I was not okay. I think I’m having a fever and it's making me anxious right now.
I close my eyes, coz this fever making me sleepy.
I’m awakened by the cold that was on my forehead. I tried to remove it but someone was just putting it back. I can also feel the wetness and coldness of my arms. Is someone wiping my body? I tried to open my eyes but I’m so sleepy that I just whimpered when I realized someone was wiping my arms. It's making me feel a little better than I was a while ago.
I feel like it’s burning my skin on its coldness.
Someone is taking care of me that’s what I realized. But I don’t know who, maybe it's Damon. Maybe he realized that he needs me so he needs to be kind to me. Or maybe he realizes that Martina doesn’t even deserve a single pity from him.
I groaned when I feel a hand touches my forehead. When I open my eyes I saw the big smile on Lujan’s face.
So after all it's still him.
I feel a little disappointed again seeing his face when I woke up. I'm not expecting anything from him besides he only marries me because he needs me. But I can't help it, I can't help but wonder how does it feel to be loved by a Damon Puertonillo. But all my thoughts were just nothing coz all he cares about now is that woman.
“Good morning, sleepyhead.” He said and put a tray on my lap. “You should eat. Mum, made this for you. She doesn’t want her daughter-in-law sick.” Lujan teases me when he helps me get up. I wonder why he's kind to me. Unlike his brother, they don't share the same personalities.
Lujan is sweet, caring, and smiles a lot, unlike his brother who conceived in resentment.
I open my mouth and tried to talk but maybe my throat dried from my fever so I can't utter a word. And maybe I don’t have enough courage to ask him that question. I can't ask him and know the answer that he chooses that b***h over me.
“Oh, Damon go home already. He told me to make sure you rest first before you go back to Manhattan.”
I smiled at him. I don’t know if I’m sad or what, but I’m not in the mood. I'm not dismayed because I knew what he feels, but I felt like he's making me look like a fool in front of his family. He brought me here and left without even checking if his wife were still alive. He left without a word like he has nothing to do with me.
“Thank you for taking care of me, Lujan,” I told him.
He just smiled and leave the room. I stare at the food in front of me. I’m not hungry and I don’t even have an appetite to eat this soup. I wanted to leave this place and go home. If I stay here for a few more minutes I think this cold won't get better.
God, why I feel so down today? I feel like someone broke my heart.
I check my phone and Gia kept on calling me. I need to go home, that’s what I’m thinking before I climbed out of bed and change into something decent so I can leave.
I’ll just leave a note for Madam Sofia and Lujan, coz I can't face them right now. I don't want to lie in front of their faces, I already lied for the wedding thing and I don't want to pile up my sins because of that demon.
Sometimes having a big house is an advantage too. If you wanted to leave no one can see you.
When the taxi stop in front of my apartment, Damon was already there leaning on his car. He looks like he's shooting for our Bachelor Magazine issue. I don't know but lately, his becoming appealing in my eyes. Gosh, did he cast a spell on me? Why I'm feeling this towards this man, I don't even like him that's why are cool. But after that drinking drama, I've made the whole thing about him change.
So Lujan already called him, I thought him on my side. I hate him now.
I wanted to ignore him when I passed by, but he's like a wall that you can just pass through.
“Stop following me!” I yelled at him. But he made my life miserable.
“Then stop walking and talk to me.” He scowled back.
“I told you, I’m fine. How many times do I have to tell you that? Just do your thing and stop bothering me, ” I mumbled and turned my back on him but he reaches my arms making me turn around.
I was taken aback when he doesn’t say anything and just come near me and put his hands on my forehead. He's checking if I still have a fever, and I still do.
He glared at me when he confirms that I’m lying.
I turn around and run inside my apartment. He was calling me but I just ignored him. I quickly change and look for a sweater coz I can feel my body shivering in so much cold outside, even if it's still summer.
I almost jump when someone knocked on the door. I just open the door knowing that Damon already left. But to my surprised Damon was standing in front of my door holding a basket of fruits and a bouquet.
“Don’t you dare close the door?” He threaten me when I was about to close the door.
But as I hate him I close the door.
“Damn it! Yasmin Jade.” He shouted on the other side. But as a guy his stronger than me so he can still open the door.
My house was one bedroom. When you enter the house you’ll see the receiving area and my kitchen on the life side was my room and the bathroom. I lay down on the bed and let him do whatever he wants. I just wanted to rest coz I feel dizzy.
I was dozing when I feel a sheet cover my legs. Oh, I forgot I was only wearing a sweater enough to cover my legs. I thought he left after he covered me with a bed cover. After I doze off, I w startled by the sounds of the casserole falling from the sink.
I thought it was just a cat or something but to think I don’t have a cat.
When I check the kitchen I saw him wearing a purple apron and busy cooking. My place looks like messed for a minute that I doze he already ransack the place.
“What the hell did you do to my house?” but the brute just turns to face me and scratch the back was head.
I wanted to scold him but seeing how he looked right now was touched by him.
“I’m sorry, sweetie. I just wanted to cook you something but it looks like google is so hard for me to understand. I guess they explained it wrong on the video.” He innocently reasons out.
I sighed as I stared at him. How does this man in front of me look so handsome yet innocent on somethings? I don’t know which is his true side when he's with me. Most of the time his cold arrogant but lately, I’ve been seeing this side of him.
I shake my head and check what he has been cooking. time know what it is but seeing how the vegetables and meat stick together I guess it’s a soup.
Why does he even bother to do this when he doesn’t even check me last night? He’s making me confused most of the time.
And that bothers me a lot…
Coz the more I spend time with him now, the more I’m becoming more gullible than I thought.
