Arranged to my Nemesis

Chapter 1: Arranged

"Ryllie, why don't you take a break about business and studies and just look for a man before you get old darling?" mom asked me. It's been a thousandth time they were asking that topic to me this day with dad.

It's Sunday evening, and tomorrow — next week is a whole week break since it's already our last month going in school before graduation. I'm finally graduating in highschool and can now focus on my family's business!

But what is more annoying is that my parents won't stop pestering me about having a boyfriend!

"What about Jax? My friend's first born son? He's good looking, a great businessman, and i assume he's a good pair for you" my father suddenly suggested out of the blue!

What! That man? He's a total pathetic jerk for me! "What? Dad you know were not getting along with that jerk!" I retorted. But dad gave me a hard glance.

"Ryllie, i know sometimes you don't get along but i know sometimes you need each others too" dad teases me even more. They really enjoy annoying me about that man huh.

"Dad, I'd rather have a poor guy than him being my boyfriend!" but actually it's better that way with him than any other man, since i don't usually hang out with boys other than my big bro.

"I know you don't mean that" dad winked at me. Wait, what is he thinking? "You're graduating after next week, and will be drowned in work early if you don't find a man now baby. So i thought of some arrangements with my friend" dad added. What!?

"Don't tell me you wanna get him for me" i told dad but i heard mom chuckled. What are this two thinking?

It's been late in the evening so, although I am already tired, I fight this sleepiness just to convince my dad to cancel the arrangements. But dad never backs down his decision!

"Anaia, we'll meet the Morgan's family to a dinner tomorrow, we'll talk about you and Jyrex. If everyone agrees, you'll live with him." dad said with finality. Wait, what? live with him?

"But dad, you know I'm prepared for our business. How would i suppose to work from there? From his home? I want this kind of atmosphere like our house, dad." i retorted.

"Why aren't you using your brain now Ryllie? His house is just like ours. The only difference is that his house is a gothic themed, baroque architecture, three storey mansion. Don't worry his house has a great atmosphere, with a riverside and has a clean forest for you to roam around." dad said. He knows his house? Did he already got there?

"His house is just a mile away from ours so you can come visit us sometimes. And it's close to our company too." dad added. As if he's so sure that both families will agree to the arrangement.

I sigh in giving up. I'm so sleepy. And tired. I turned around, go to my room and sleep, leaving dad in his study room.

NEXT MORNING

I woke up late. I was drowned in my thoughts that my father wants me to have a boyfriend, and worst, my nemesis! I don't really know if we're really an enemies but everytime we found each other, we gave dagger glares. And if we were close to each other, everything i did annoys him, which made him annoy me! I didn't even do anything wrong but he acts like i annoyed him that much!

In contrary of all that, whenever we're alone (just him and I), it's like there's a magnet that attracts each of us to each other. I don't know what that really was. I don't know why. I don't know how.

When I got to the kitchen, my mom was there waiting for me. "You must thought of it the whole night. You woke up late." I ignored her and started preparing my breakfast — a made my milk and eat some bacons and sandwiches mom made. I don't have a duty in the company since my project was already proposed and was accepted by the personnels, so this time, I'll be chillin'. But not because of what dad has said.

"Prepare for tonight at 8 pm we'll meet the Morgan's at a restaurant for dinner" mom reminded me. I just nodded. I'm not in a good mind to talk nor think about it.

Mom got up from a stool took her bag and said "I'm going to your dad's company to accompany him. We'll meet at the restaurant tonight. Bye" mom waved and left. So she isn't t going home for lunch? Fine, I'll be alone again.

My dad got to his office early and my brother has his own house now. Maybe he's already in his office too. My dad won't let me have my own house because he said I'm a woman, and my future husband will be responsible for such a thing so I'm living with them.

Bored, i got up, took a shower and prepare to go for a window shopping. I wore a plain white fitted shirt, a high waisted black fitted jeans and white shoes. I don't look like a wealthy businessman but I am the best businessman ✌️.

And I don't have a problem wearing anything since i found myself having the greatest body of a model. A symmetrical face and body. An average thick eyebrows, a thick and long lashes, long high pointed nose, a plumpy lips, a siren eyes, and a defined bone features.

Im not flat, i have a perfect hourglass body figure. A round toned chest, a slim and small waist — almost half of my shoulder, a wide and defined hips, a round toned buttocks, a sexy legs and a long body outline — like my slim sexy neck, my long slim arms, and my long sexy legs.

I didn't wish to be this perfect! But goodness i enjoy this!

I parked my car outside the mall. When i entered, i found an ice cream. I bought one and enjoyed eating while waiting for the elevator to open. I used the elevator to go up in the second floor of the mall.

I roamed around watching how sales ladies do their jobs and when got tired and hungry, i walked to a nearby food court. I sat, ordered and eat. When i finished, I got up and was about to go home because it's already 12:24 at noon when i spotted a*****e of clothes. I walked there. At the store, I found a light peach colored dress. It's a knee length and has an elegant design. It's just a simple one yet elegant. I took it and tried. I loved the way it clung to my body so I will buy this one. I looked for some sandals to pair with it and I found a light peach colored three inches high sandals. It also has an elegant figure and has my size so I bought them and got home.

I have a lot of clothes to wear but finding to wear something more simpler for a dinner at a restaurant won't have a problem right?

Tired of roaming at the mall, I've slept.

When I woke up, It's already 7:02 pm, i checked the time. I didn't wasted any moment and took a shower, wore my clothes, do my hair a messy bun and put a light make up. It fits me gorgeously with the pair of clothes i wore. I took my bag and was about to get out of the house when my phone rang. It's mom.

"Darling Ryllie, we're already at the restaurant. Don't use your car and just call a cab. Where are you now?" mom said after i greeted her.

"I was about to go now mom, okay I'll just call a cab" I answered.

"Okay the Morgan's are here already, they just got here" she said on the next line, which made me nervous. I'm late already!

"Okay, okay I'm coming" I said then mom says her goodbye and dropped the call. When I got out of our gate, I called a cab and told the driver the address my mom gave me.

When I got there, one of the waitress asked me " good evening ma'am, is this Anaia Miles?" she asked and I nodded. She escorted me to a private room in this restaurant. After the waitress left, my heart pounded so fast.

I knocked at the door 3 times and opened it cautiously. Inside, i found my parents on the other side of a round table, there's a lot of foods at the center. I walked towards my parents.

"This is your daughter Ryllie? Oh, she has grown so beautiful!" aunt Lily said. I smiled at her sentence and walked toward her and gave her a hug. Then I sat in between my parents seats.

All of them are already at the table, so I'm literally the only one they're waiting huh? So embarrassing.

"Ryllie, I and your father already discussed about the arrangements." uncle Rex said and glanced at his side. There I noticed Jax watching me! He has no expression in his eyes while looking at me.

"As I've told you, if both families agreed to the arrangement you'll live together with Jax in his house." dad told me. I nodded nervously. I was silent the whole time I was here.

"Okay, and let's eat before the food gets cold" mom said and they all started eating. I wonder why they all acts weird. They all eat in enjoyment especially our parents and our siblings. Only me eats in silence. While Jax, that jerk talks to them like there is no arrangement is happening!

In the middle of our food dad interrupts "So Ryllie, the Morgan's and us, your family agreed to the arrangement." dad said which made me look at him in shock. What did he just said?

"Um... did you already talked before we get here?" I asked my dad in a low voice nervously.

"Yes we already talked abd they agreed. After the dinner you'll go with Jax to his house." dad said nonchalantly.

"Already? now?" I asked unbelieved.

"Didn't you told your daughter that we all already agreed to this?" uncle Rex asked dad.

Dad shook his head. "I didn't because if i did i don't think she'll come and join us. Or maybe she'll even run away" dad shrugged. They all laughed. "No wonder she's called 'Ryllie' she really is your daughter Rylle" uncle Rex said amidst his laughter.

I looked at them like I found a ghost. They just shrugged at me.

After the dinner, I was nervously waiting for my parents. We are all standing and was saying our goodbyes to the other family while the other one at the corner is being a mannequin, not even saying a word!

Out of the blue, uncle Rex announced "Okay, Ryllie, you will go now with Jax and we hope you had great night and the following days together. We will be preparing your engagement rings now." he said with a smirk on his lips while looking straight into my eyes. What the heck is wrong with this people!?

I was shocked, unable to digest the sudden strike of event in my life! Did some disastrous destructive hurricane came and blown off their minds!? They know we don't get along with that rat!

Urgh! I was frustrated! Is this their way of making us get along with their son? Is there no other way around?

I was speechless, my mouth open while looking at them. They laughed at my reaction. I was fuming with disappointment when someone talked behind me "Aren't you planning of going home now?" with that voice i recognized it was Jax! He has a deep baritone voice. sht so høt! ✌️

I turned around and angrily answered him "home? it's not my home!" everyone gasped momentarily at my response. After a moment they all turned and left. But before they could go far, I heard someone from them say "I don't know what this is taking both them and us but... trying isn't that bad, maybe?" nervously.

Do they mean.... they did this on purpose? I got out of the private room to catch them but they're far away from me. I heard aunt Lily said "I hope this works, I hope they get along sooner or later" and they all left the restaurant leaving me and Jax alone.

"So what? You'll walk home?" that baritone voice asked from behind me. "I'm not going in your house" I answered. "Tsk. As if you're still welcome in your house at this hour." he said and walked past me.

"I'll leave you here, then" he said and walked out of the restaurant.

I tried to call mom but she isn't answering. Same to my dad and big brother!

Unable to go anywhere but Jax's house, I thought. If I'm going to get a hotel room, I can't live there for a long time! And if I get an apartment, it's far away from my work place! So I have no other options but to go with Jyrex.

I ran out of the restaurant to look if he's still there. I found him beside his car, his back against me, and his phone on his ear. Probably talking to someone on the phone.

When he turned around, he saw me looking at him. "Oh, so the princess of Miles' interested in living with me huh" he said with a mocking tone.

Tsk. 'Not because your handsome, tall, super rich, and every woman's dream man, you can now look down on me!' I thought to shout at him but I restrained myself.

Seeing me stopping myself from anger, he behaved himself and opened the passenger seat. I looked at him. He raised his brows, and was about to close the door when I hurriedly walked and sat on the passenger seat. He turned to the driver's seat and closed the door. No longer, we drove off.

Darkness slowly devoured my consciousness as tiredness and sleepiness enveloped me while I was busy processing everything in my mind.
