When I open my eyes I got struck when I met his beautiful yet dangerous blue green eyes. His presence is intimidating that can make anyone tremble their knees, before I got overwhelmed by his presence I immediately speak.
“Where am I? Who are you? What happened?”
The man with blue green eyes took a step forward with his dominant look. My mind gets clouded when I smell his manly perfume.
“You’re in my Villa. One of my men saw you floating in the middle of the sea” his voice sounded like he just woke up from a long nap.
I can’t take my eyes off of him. He is wearing a black khaki short and white t-shirt with a Rolex watch in his wrist. His clothes are simple but it perfectly fits in him. I think it’s just my imagination that he didn’t answer one of my questions.
“You’re not going to tell me what happened to you? Why you’re floating in there? Oh, well it’s not my problem. You can take a leave when you finish eating”
When my senses returned, I only saw him nearing at the door. He remains standing near at the door and look at me once again and left. Leave? I just woke up and my body hurts so much.
The door opened again and I thought it’s him but to my dismay it’s one of his men bringing a tray of food. The aroma of the food linger to my nose, I heard my stomach growl as I watch him put the foods. I look at the boy and ask him,
“How many days I’ve been sleeping” the boy didn’t look at me but he still answer my question.
“You’ve been sleeping for 2 days straight now, madam”
To my shock, I gasp. Oh, that’s why my stomach is angry at me, ‘why didn’t you feed me?’
‘How am I supposed to feed you when I’m lying here in the bed’
I think I hit my head or something. There’s definitely wrong to me. Who am I talking? My stomach? Psh!
“What do you mean 2 days?! Oh my gosh, what happened?”
The boy left the food at the bedside table. I pick it up and put it in the table beside the window. As I watch the scenery in front of me, I saw some flashes memory of mine in my head.
I shouted in pain and drop the glass of milk that I was holding and I heard the door opened, the man with the blue green eyes touch my back and keep calming me down.
FLASHBACK
We’re already packing our things to go home. Paul is fixing the tent. I and Emily are putting our things inside our bag. I was busy arranging my things when Emily excuses herself to take a pee. Minutes later, I didn’t notice that Paul wasn’t there anymore to fix the tent.
“Paul? Where is he? I thought he’s fixing the tent”
I looked everywhere but didn’t saw anyone, as I was about to go back at the tent I heard something. It’s near at the cliff. I go there without anything in mind.
“Who’s there? Paul?”
I was shocked when I saw what’s in front of me. It’s Emily and Paul, they’re kissing!
“Wh..What the?! What’s this, Paul?! Emily?!”
I saw how shocked Paul is but Emily is just staring at me like nothing.
“Oh! You’re here! I think there’s no more reason to hide our relationship to her, Paul”
I looked at Emily and didn’t saw the Emily who’s always by my sid- oh, no. I think from the very start she’s a b***h already who just hide her ugly side.
“Don’t f*****g talk to me b***h! Paul?! How could you do this to me?” but he was just looking at me with his smug face.
“Don’t ask me! I was just carrying the plan” I looked at him in dismay. Plan?! Wtf?! He just saw me as a plan?!
“Plan?! Oh, okay then. I know every little business you have and I’ll make sure that both of you will crawl in the mud!” I shouted and I was about to leave when Emily stop me.
“What’s that again? But how? You don’t have anything left. The company and money is mine”
I was bewildered of what I heard but no wonder she’s my secretary and I trusted her all of my assets.
“What?! b***h! How could you! I will f*****g sue you!” I angrily grab her hair but Paul immediately push me.
“Oh! So you’re okay with that? You stole that bastard from me and then my company and money? You like all the things I have huh?”
As I said that words to her I saw her face change to angry and push me down in the cliff. I didn’t grasp the situation I’m in right now.
I saw my memories flashing when I was a kid with my deceased parents. When I felt the impact in my back, I struggle to go up and catch some breath but instead of air, I inhaled water. I continue to move my legs and hands but I feel dizzy and the surroundings became black.
END OF FLASHBACK
I saw him looking at me as I finish telling him what happened. I wipe the tears from my face.
“How could they do this to me? What did I do wrong?”
The tears kept falling as I continue to wipe them. I felt his hand in my back and caressing it.
“Maybe they’re the one who did wrong, it’s not you, right? You shouldn’t question your worth, your’e worth it. It’s that bastard’s loss he cheated on you”
I was shock because his hand is in my back and also the thing he said.
“How will I know when I did everything so that no one will leave me again”
I looked at him but I think it’s a wrong move. Our face is just inch apart.
As I look at him, I notice that he has dimples, thick eyebrows, long nose and rosy lip..lips. His head is getting closer to me and I was about to close my eyes when the door opened. I immediately push him and sit awkwardly.
“Ah sir, someone called you, it’s from your office. It’s about the meeting minutes from now”
I can still feel his stare at me so I did my best not to look at him in the eyes. What’s that? That’s a nice painting huh. Oh, the flower vase looks expensive.
“I’ll be back. Let’s talk about that later”
I didn’t answer him and just look at him when he’s about to leave but it’s a wrong move because he’s still looking at me and waiting for my answer.
“Uhm, okay”
IT’S 3 PM now but he still didn’t visit me here, well it’s not that I want him here it’s just that he said that he’ll be back.
I’m at the window staring at the garden ,”Will I stay here? If it’s okay to stay here then I will. I don’t know where to go but I’m shy to tell him that”
“It’s okay, you’ll stay here but what will I get if I’ll let you stay here”
I almost jump in my set when I heard a voice at my back.
“What? You heard me?”
He sat down in front of me and drink the coffee he’s holding.
“Yeah”
“What do you mean ‘what will you get’” I ask him nervously.
“I’m a business man. I need to negotiate” he told me calmly.
My mind went black for what he said. I don’t have money or any assets that I can give to him but what should I do. I watch him stood up and whisper to me.
I felt his hot breathing in my ears that makes me tingled.
“Be my bride. Marry me”
