003: Should I marry him?

I slept restlessly that night. I was weighing things of what might the possibilities if I would marry August or not.

If I would marry him, I'm sure I'll be living my life in hell. Knowing him, he knows how to play the life of every woman. Even if we'll say he doesn't have anything to me, but I know too much that he'll hurt me, in any possible way.

But if I wouldn't marry him, our company would fully lost its race. And it might be possible that the company that my mother had valued enough would vanish on our hands.

I closed my eyes tightly and the things that have been running on my head totally occupied me. When back to reality, I stood up and walked downstairs, only to welcome with the silence of the house.

I searched for Mom and saw her on the kitchen. "Where's Dad, Mom? Why is it so silent in here?"

Mom glanced at me at the door frame and smiled at me. "Your Dad leave the house early. He's meeting some acquaintances. He's also finding a way to save our company, sweetheart," says Mom which literally made me silent.

I spend the rest of the days in our house. I no longer hesitated to go out, especially when I know I wouldn't be able to do anything. I've approached all of my acquaintances and friends already. I also don't have any modeling appointments, it's my rest day, so I chose to just stay here.

"Why don't you spend the day with your friends, sweetheart? Enjoy this day with them," Mom suggested which made me saddened upon thinking about our current situation.

"How am I able to enjoy the day, Mom? How could I enjoy the day knowing we had a big problem in the company? Maybe I could, after saving our company," I say, making Mom saddened.

I stayed laying on the couch, waiting for Dad. I decided to wait for Dad's return. What news he would be bringing home would matter to me. It's either I would marry August, or not.

I immediately stood up when I've heard the sound of opening of the gate. As I thought it was Dad, I opened the door with my wide smile, only to see the fucking faces of my bestfriends.

"Surprise!" they all yelled as soon as I opened the door.

The wide smile that I had earlier on my lips immediately vanished. I pouted a bit making them winced at me.

"What's with that long face, Aliana Blaire? You're being visted here, you should be thankful," says Amari making me hissed.

"Did I tell you to pay me a visit?" I peevishly stated which gain me nothing but a death glare.

I was just throwing my peevish attitude when someone suddenly poke me at my back which made me hissed, death glaring at someone who poked me, only to see the fucking face of Reese who was raising an eyebrow at me.

"What?" she says, criticizing my death glares at her. I was about to throw my fucking words when she suddenly turned her back at me, leaving me with a gasp.

"T-That..." I trampled my feet as I giggled, stopping myself from giving our boyish friend a punch on her ass face.

I was just giggly staring at Reese when I saw how they all entered the house without even asking for my permission.

I approached to them with hands on my waist. "Who says you are all welcome to my house and are free to rest here?" I peevishly say, still raising an eyebrow at them.

And then, for having such a fucking best friends, they just stared at me weirdly.

I winced. Why do I felt like I am the one who is an outsider here?

Alaina scoffed on the side. "You'll be asking us that now when we're already hanging out here for years?" Lai retorted which made me hold my temper.

Leia laughed. "AB babe, stop it here. We just want to visit you here. We know what you've been through lately is not easy. And, Reese suggested this. She's worried about you that's why she suggested that we should give you a visit," Leia playfully said which made Reese hissed.

"What? I didn't recall anything that I told all of you that we should visit her here," Reese denied which I just smirk at.

I teasingly looked at her. I even jumped on her side to hug her. "What? You're worried about me?" I teasingly say making her cringe.

"We just visit you here if you're still breathing," she says that I didn't bother to hear off. I still stay on her side, hugging her.

Reese kept on hissing on my side while I was hugging her tightly, yet she let me stay on her side that made me smile.

"So..." Amari started the convo and trailed off for a moment. "What is your plan now? What would you do? You'll marry August?" Mari asked that made me silent.

I pouted a bit and leaned on Reese' shoulder. "I don't know. I'm still waiting for Dad. I just hope he found another way for this shit," I whisper, hoping for Dad to get the other way that we're hoping about to save our company.

"What if your Dad wasn't able to get the other option that you're hoping? What would you do?" Reese asked which made me go silent.

Right. What am I going to do?

Am I going to marry him?
