Marrying The Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 3 Jobless

"Are you sure you'll be going inside alone?" I asked to Marie for the second time around.

He lively nodded and smiled sweetly to me. "I already told you brother, i'm old enough to go alone to my classroom!" She bragged as she crossed her tiny arms around her chest.

I chuckled as I patted her head. "Alright Ms. Independent!"

We both stopped when we heard the loud ringing of their school bell indicating that all of the students should be in their respective classrooms now. I'm glad we made it, we reached her school without her getting late. It's just, unlike before... I needed to send her to school everyday by riding on a public vehicle for we can't afford to pay a private school bus anymore...

"I'll go now brother! good luck to your job hunting!" After saying those words, she immediate hop along and passed through the school gate.

I just stared at her while she's getting farther and farther from my sight. I'm fully aware that i'm currently smiling like an i***t here but I just can't believe that she's already nine years old now and already in elementary level... it seems like it was just yesterday that she was so tiny and now, why does children grow up so fast?

D*mn it! why am I still standing here and smiling like an i***t? I should leave now, I badly need to find a job this day before the sun sets. Father's income isn't enough anymore to sustain all our needs. I'm just a fresh graduate from last year that's why it's still really hard for me to get a job.

Specially when all of the companies now only accept those who already have experiences. I don't understand why won't they hire you or even consider when they found out that you haven't had any experience yet, didn't we apply for us to have our experience? tsk. Sometimes things are just really complicated not because they're complicated but we, people are making it complicated.

I checked out for the last time if Marie is already on her classroom but since I can't see her anymore, i'm one hundred percent sure now that she's already in her classroom. I hope she enjoys her day...

I let out a deep sigh before I finally walked away. The school guard was already staring at me like i'm someone who's suspicious!

"Alright. We will just call you."

"But miss didn't I--"

"I said we will just call you." She seriously interrupted with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

He even eyed me before she gave me the look saying 'you should leave now'. I just lowered my head as I unwillingly nodded. I just followed her with my gaze as she enters the office of her boss who was I talking with earlier. I let out a deep sigh. I'm left with no choice so I just decided to leave the hallway and finally accepted that again, I failed finding a job today.

After leaving the building. I immediately called out a taxi for me to ride home. I sat with my back, tiredly leaning on the chair's back rest. I put beside me my envelope that contains everything that's needed in applying for a job.

I took a glance to look at my wrist watch and just let out a really deep sigh... it's already six pm.

I spend the whole day trying to apply to every company that's needing employers but none of them accepted me! all of them will automatically get discouraged when they look at my resume and find out that i'm just a fresh graduate. Argh! d*mn that 'experience' thing! how are we, fresh graduates will have our experience if they won't give us a chance to show them our skills?!

I just rest my head on the chair's back and closed my eyes to calm myself. I can't help but to be dissapointed at myself... I mean, I know very well in myself that I did my best but what is it in me that I can't get any company to believe in me? all the response that I got from them is that they'll just call me but everyone knows that, that's just their other way of saying we aren't qualified and we'll never get that job! I sucks. This day sucks. Everything sucks!

I curiously opened my eyes when I heard a news flash report intro coming from the taxi's radio.

"Good news. The Villarreal's heiress made it again safely in returning to her family." They can't be serious! again?!

"All the kidnappers were captured and Aphrodite was not harmed. Here's our exclusive interview to her earlier..."

"How's the nation's heiress?" Since when did she gained that title?

He chuckled arrogantly causing me to make a face. "Owh nothing new. I got kidn*pped again by those ugly bastards but yeah, i'm fine. So please stop worrying about me..."

She really didn't changed. Her voice still sounds the same... annoying and arrogant just like before.

"Not everyone cares about you! tsk." I mumbled as I crossed my arms around my chest. I didn't changed too neither.

"Good thing Lady Aphrodite is safe now, right?" The driver infront of me suddenly stated as we happened to look at each other at the same time in the front mirror.

I just nodded and turned my attention to the window beside me. I still can't get it why she has a lot of so called 'fans' and even 'admirers'. Don't tell me they adore her because she's famous, extremely rich and--yeah kinda beautiful but if they only knew her real attitude! she's the rudest, meanist, arrogant and annoying person that i've ever met in my life!!

There's nothing good about her. She's just an entitled bratty rich girl. That's it!

"D*mn it!" My hands slowly formed into a fists when I suddenly remembered about the ridiculous 'job' her parents offered to me before.

They personally asked father to meet me in person and offered me a job of marrying Aphrodite and pretend to everyone that i'm his husband, that we love each other to show and prove to their number one rival family that Aphrodite's supposed to be 'arranged marriage' with their son is not needed anymore. Why did they even agreed in that thing before when they'll just declined it because their minds suddenly changed and now they'll be needing someone to drag in that ridiculously ridiculous thing!

I don't know why of all people they chosed me. I mean, they told me if it's not gonna be me then there's no one else... they didn't really explained to me everything unlike my dad who wouldn't say a thing also. Tsk. They told me that they'll only explain everything to me when I agree to their proposal... but obviously, I declined their offer. Just like what I always said, I don't want to involve myself with such difficult and chaotic situation.

Mom and dad did everything they can to convince me to accept their offer for it's not that bad they said, and the salary and benefits they'll give me and my family was really tempting. Specially about them, sponsoring my sister's college in the future in what ever course she'll get... but I still refused because I promised them that i'll work hard to sustain them financially but look at me, I can't even get myself a d*mn job!!

Yes, my dad is the head security personnel of one of the wealthiest family in the world but his salary is still not enough to sustain all we needs... mom wants to work too but we can't let her because she has a weak heart. She has an asthma...

I still have one month to think of it--no. You can't Evian!! you can't marry her... that woman...

But--

My thoughts were suddenly cut when I heard my phone suddenly rang. I immediately pick it from my jean's pocket and my eyebrows automatically furrowed when I find out it's dad who's calling. This is weird... I mean, dad never called me once except today in this kind of time. I immediately swiped it down and put the phone on one of my ears.

"Dad? what is it--"

"Where are you now? are you home already?" He immediately asked hurriedly with a hint of fear in his voice. I automatically felt nervous...

I gulped. "I-i'm just heading home dad... w-why?" I stuttered. Completely confuse and worried at the same time. I have a bad feeling about this...

"You need to get here, now! in the Villa. Private Hospital, you're mom and sister are here too..." Compared earlier, the tone of his voice is lower and calmer now.

"But why are you all there? did something happened?" Please, I hope nothing bad happened to mom specially Marie.

"Just... come here. Don't worry it's not that bad, we just need you here. Specially your mom." I heard him sighed. So it's mom...

"O-okay dad. I'll be there by any minute from now. Bye."
