***************

WE HAVE already signed a contract, it’s my new contract for in the commercial. They also gave an advance payment and the other half is when the commercial which will be the next day after my wedding is over.

After the contract signing, I went straight for our engagement. I am late. Thirty minutes late. Bellevera really thought I wasn’t coming. I wish I did not. Cause, I have no intention of marrying him.

“Glad that you came,” he said after seeing me. He even gave me a fake smile. “Don’t try to run away from me, Celestine. Remember that you will be my wife.” He’s saying I don’t have any choice.

He pressed his side tightly against mine and then put his arm around my waist.

“You don’t love me, so just let me go, Bellevera,” I whispered enough that his ears can hear.

“In your dreams, baby!” he said teasingly.

“Fine! Don’t forget that your money will be my money as well.”

“It’s okay. Even if you take all the money in the world. Just say so. I can even open an account for you as long as you will marry me,” he said, followed by a smile on his lips.

I really don’t understand why he wants me to be his wife, even though he doesn’t love me.

“Don’t forget that you are mine from the day we had our night,” he finally said, then halted his eyes when I looked back at him.

He just didn’t know how thrilled I was to take off my shoes and stab him in his mundane skull. I’m so excited to stab him in his back. Very excited.

I endured more than an hour of ceremony with nothing to do but smile and plastic-talk with the invited people, the guest. They didn’t even know how disgusted I was. But I tried not to show it to my face that I wasn’t happy with this engagement. Yes, just engagement. I know I can’t run away from him today, but I can still run away from him before our wedding will start.

I would never tie to a Bellevera. Even if he has a noble name, enormous property, one of the richest people in the country, or even if he has an attractive body that is taken care of in the gym and his c.ock’s length is beyond ordinary. No. I will never still going to marry him.

When Bellevera left me, I immediately saw him happily laughing with other women. See. He wanted to marry me because he wanted to get revenge on me, but not because he loved me. If he really loved and care for me, he wouldn’t waste time flirting with those women there.

I frowned as I sat down at the chair at the empty table. When the server passed by with a handful of wine, I grabbed it and ordered more to my table.

After this, I will go home. After this terrible night, I am planning to check all my money. Now the money I have saved and my savings will have a destination. They only offered me three million in the contract. I still have almost two million left, even if I shared with Manager Roa.

When my phone vibrated, I took it out of the handbag I was carrying. According to the email notification, Ezekiel Bellevera sent me amounting to forty thousand dollars in my bank account.

What is this? Is Bellevera really mocking me right now? Does he want to pay for my marriage to him?

My forehead furrowed as I read the email carefully from a bank.

I glanced at Bellevera in amusement. He smiled and then winked at me. He’s really proud of himself and bragging about how he can buy me.

Fine! Is this what he wants? Sure, I’ll give it to him. It is also pitiful if his effort will go in vain.

I transferred the money from where Bellevera sent the money to my secret bank account. I send him an email saying I have no obligation whatsoever to him. And the crazy head even messaged back to me ‘no problem.’ The heck!

I don’t know if he’s blowing my nose in annoyance or he’s just happy to tease me.

But on the other hand, it also seems insulting that he gave money to buy my soul. But what can I do? He wanted to insult me this way. And he is loving to mock me with this.

I looked at the phone and checked the balance I have in my secret bank account. I already have less than a hundred thousand dollars, enough that I can hire someone.

Forget about studying taek won do or martial arts because I need it more than that. Bellevera wanted to see my fierce side, then we’ll see.

I got up from my seat to check on a website of a good investigator when he was blocking my path and there was no one but Bellevera, himself.

HIS SEDUCTIVE eyes greeted me. “Where are you going?”

“I just need to check something,” I said as an excuse.

He gripped my arm tightly. “You will come with me later. I paid you, Celestine.” He’s using his strength to scare me again.

I lifted my eyebrow at him. “Yes, you already paid me but it doesn’t mean I am satisfied with your payment.”

Her eyebrows met each other from what I said. “W-What do you mean?”

“You will only pay for my behavior, then be it. Pay me monthly or pay me every time you will use me. Same amount.”

The light on his face quickly disappeared because of what I said. “Are you crazy!” He tightened his grip on my arm.

“No. I am not. But I will go crazy every time you lay your fingers in my body. Not even after you beg, then I will not care at all. You are a man and you get what you want, while I will just wait for what you have to say? That seems unfair,” I said irritably, then withdrew my arm from the tightness of his grip.

“I can’t believe you become like that, Celestine.”

“I can’t believe either that I let you marry me.” I turned my back on Bellevera, but before I could get away to go back to the party Bellevera spoke again.

“Go ahead. I don’t care if I get poor. This is how you play your game, then we’ll see. I’ll make sure you will not like the moments when I claim you.”

I stared at him and even put my middle finger in the air and make a sign.

I no longer cared what he wanted to do to me or what other possible disaster awaited me. I need to run away from him as long as I can.

I went straight to the venue kitchen. I made sure no one followed me. In online might be easy to search for the person you wanted to find. From various websites, I find a good investigator. I copied the number and easily send a message.

The process is so easy now and you just need to pay; the result is fast as I think.

The investigator replied to an online messenger application. He said he could find someone’s information even without a photo. Good! It will be easy for me.

I even asked him how long the result will be. He said it would only take a week, depending on the information I had that he could use to find the person I needed.

I smiled at the investigator’s messages. I just send him a message containing what available information I have. He quickly understood what I wanted. He sent a last message that I will also get the information through email and I will wire him the payment. I gave him the place where we were to meet.

I prefer to meet him in person to have assurance. I want to overcome this intention of mine.

I went back to the party — our engagement party. I saw Bellevera sitting in the corner holding the glass of wine.

I approached a seat next to him and pulled up a chair. I raised two elbows on the table, then placed both cheeks on each of my palms and smiled just looking at Bellevera. “Do you think I’ll take you when you’re drunk? Or do you think I’ll come with you when you’re drunk? ”

He averted his eyes from me and then stared straight at me and emptied the shot glass with one drink. “I didn’t know you were this canny.”

“I will admit that what you did was hard and insulting to me. I will not sell my body to any man, Bellevera.” And he knows that.

He picked up the bottle of scotch and then poured his glass. “I know. I also don’t know why I feel this way.”

I pulled my face away from the stare and raised an eyebrow at what he said.

“W-What do you mean?” I doubtfully asked.

“I don’t know what demon hits me to like you, Celestine. Believe me, I don’t like it either. I don’t want to touch you, especially when I find out you’ve already slept with Brent. But what can I do? The more I resist, the more I like to have you in my bed na.ked,” he said forwardly.

“It is just your l.ust. It’s nothing more than about it.”

“I’m really stupid because even if there are men before you, I still want to own you.” At that moment, it was the bottle that he knocked off after he put it in his mouth and drink the content.

I don’t know why my ear got hot at what he said, as if I wanted to slap him. “Stop right there! You are only the second getting me in the bed.”

“That stupid Brent was very lucky, and he was the first,” he said, followed by his evil grin as if he’s mocking me.
