Double the payment?!

RIX's P.O.V.

We’re home.

We reached Apollo's condo, and he's escorting me out nonchalantly.

He's not talking, but just coldly looking at me.

"Leave us, I can manage her," said Apollo to the driver.

"Alright, sir! got it!" the driver said.

It was a long hallway through the elevator.

It seems like this is my first time coming here, when in fact, it's not. I've been here.

The first time was when he let me meet his family without saying it out loud. without asking me permission.

Well, that was actually the same time I was embarrassed because of the damn cake.

So what is it this time?

We reached his condo.

This is the first time I'm gonna be able to appreciate the beauty of his home.

He pulled me into the living room, where the l-shaped couch was placed.

"I was actually planning on bringing you here and letting you live. However, my dad is really suspicious. We're living in the mansion."

My eyes widened.

"Then why do you have to bring me here?!" I asked.

"Just to talk with you. what happened?" he asked. Now he's asking a weird question?!

"Uhm? I'm sorry, I'm not getting the lead. I'm out, I don't think I understand you or anything?"

He took out a deep breath.

"First, let's talk about what you did to the library to me. What's in your mind?" he asked, furrowing his brows, changing his tone.

God… I knew he'd be angry.

"I’m— I'm sorry."

"What? Why are you apologizing?"

"Well, I don't know? Maybe you felt embarrassed or didn't really enjoy it?" I asked.

He looked away, stuttering and he said, "I liked it. I fucking like it."

He grips on my neck as if he was choking it, but it wasn't that tight.

His lips are closer to my ears now. "Don't do that again. You might fall for me.”

I bit my lower lip.

I looked at him and positioned myself on top of him, and now I was the one choking THE Apollo.

"Don't worry, I won't fall for you. That was just the deal, right?" I asked.

Grinding on top of him, attempting to open his shirts.

God… his abs!

Fuck, I can’t hide this much of emotion, he really is… sexy.

He chortled.

Oh— laugh! Why does it sound like music to my ears?

"Your eyes are lying. I thought you wouldn't fall for me?"

I looked at his eyes, drunk in lust.

So am I.

His presence alone is intimidating to me.

Licking my lips, and I brush my fingers to his lips.

"Oops, I slipped." I whispered, "Is this what you want? Is this the reason you asked for my early leave?"

I'm giggling now! "You find me interesting, do you?" I asked.

His fingers are suddenly inside me.

W–What? When did it happen?

He found it! He found the…

I moaned… the pleasure is flowing through my blood. How could he do this? How could he be so good at pleasing me?!

I'm out of control, he's intoxicating me again. I can't feel myself!

We both jolted in surprise when the doorbell chimes.

"Was that your dad?" I asked.

He removed his hand out of my shorts. He was about to go and open the door, but before he did that, he licked my liquid, and didn't leave any trace.

"Fuck…"

He opened the door.

It was a girl.

Does he have a girl visitor?

She felt her in, and he's not planning on hiding me.

Oh, I forgot, I was the acting wife. For I know, every single member of his family knows that I am the legal one.

If ever he finds another girl and shows her off as soon as possible, he'll be the one in danger. they'll kill Apollo in anger.

"My wife," Apollo introduced. APOLLO INTRODUCED?!

"Hi!!" she said, waving her hand. She proceeded to hug me with a huge smile on her face.

"We've met," she started.

My eyebrows met. Wait, let me scan through my mind when exactly did we meet.

But I can't find it!

I smiled awkwardly, hoping she wouldn't notice.

However, her huge smile is gone, and she's now crossing her arms.

"I'm sorry. I know I've offended you when I Iaughed that day. When you cause a ruckus, I mean that's what you thought, in the family dinner? When you were cutting the cake? And eating so much food?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. You totally nailed it in making me remember how embarrassing it was," I said. "I apologize for that matter."

Apollo butted in, while serving drinks and food. "She was at dinner that night. I hope you remember."

Wow, he literally should have served a while ago, since I came here.

WHY JUST NOW?! AISH!

"I can't," I said.

"She's my sister."

My mouth was wide open. How the fuck did I manage to think she’s one of Apollo’s girl?

"Yes, I'm Jade. And you know what? My family likes you. We liked you even more after having to see what you were like."

I smiled.

I can't believe I made them like me.

All I hope is for his father to like me because that's my job, to make it look like I was a real wife. But look? Even his sister liked me!

I wasn't a nagger or something, so I was having this trouble in my mind that they might notice.

"Thank you," I said, stuttering and looking down.

"Thank you?" Apollo asked. "There's no need to say that. And even if they didn't like you after that inevitable accident, you shouldn't apologize. You did nothing wrong. You’re just.. you."

Apollo was straightforward, dark, he was cold, but the way he speaks right now feels safer.

I feel like he was protecting me from any possible danger.

I’m— having this unnatural reaction in my stomach.

God, what does this call?

"Stop, kuya! you're making her blush! And in front of me? Duh," said Jade.

Apollo looked at her, from head to toe. "And what are you doing here?"

Now he's asking.

"Dad told me to fetch you because you were taking so long to go home."

I whispered, "Because we're still doing what your mom and dad did to make you."

Jade noticed, "What? Are you saying something?" she asked innocently.

"Oh— no."

She just nodded and turned back to apollo.

"Besides, grandmother wanted to meet her."

"Grandmother?" I murmured. "Is there something I did for her to want to meet me?"

Jade nodded her head. "Actually, there is."

****

I was trembling tenfold now that I'm in front of their mansion.

It was so big! I can actually call this a villa. Before we totally reach the main house, there's a long road to go through.

The road was surrounded by trees, plants, many kinds of flowers, fruits, vegetables, everything is planted in every corner of the road. All you have to do is just pluck it there when you want to eat.

There's also a huge fountain at the front, which is the first thing you'll see if you get here.

Apollo held my hand.

“I can handle everything,” he said.

I leaned my head to him and whispered, “I wonder if you can handle my heart too.”

I winked and smiled secretly.

I felt his hand tapping my shoulder. When I looked at him, he was grinning with a closed mouth, opening his eyes wide as if he was non-verbally telling me to stop.

But I wink again, and looked away.

I thought he wouldn't bug me after that, but he pulled me closer to him, using my waist.

Oh god… he's enclosing my entire waist using his arm. I'm feeling wet down there! Fuck him!

Fuck him…

Aish! This dirty mind!

We came inside the mansion when the butler fetch us and told us to come in.

Grandmother was the first to approach.

“Hey, hija,” said the grandmother, and gave me a peck of kiss on my cheek.

“Hello, granny!'' I said. “So, I've made your bed ready, you and Apollo will start living here, right? I'm so excited because I will finally have someone to talk to other than these plants.”

Awkwardly and forcibly, I smiled at her. It was a bitter story to tell. I'm feeling out of it.

I'm feeling uncomfortable thinking about it.

“But what about grandpa? Won't he talk to you?” I asked.

She shrugged.

“Let's not talk about people who’s not present. Come, I will tour you.”

Apollo pulled me closer to him, still using his arm to envelop my waist, UGH! “Behave,” he said.

I bit my lower lip. “Don't be like that, Mr. Apollo. I might violate your rule.”

I was the one to disentangle the touch of him, and went with granny.

Jade was still with us.

Jade has the same vibe as Andrei. Should I invite her if I visit Andrei next time?

Oh, that wasn't a good idea.

If ever she met Andrei, I might as well reveal my identity to her.
