Ivanna
He's gone before I wake up. And I'm glad my day hasn't started with watching his face next to me. Wriggling on the comfortable bed, I take some time and close my eyes shut.
The kiss.
Last night, he kissed me.
My eyes shoot up and I jump off the bed, covering my mouth. Darn! It was real. It happened.
That jerk kissed me. Argh!
He is so smart with words that I can't keep up with him. Why not? He'll be good at all this since he's a businessman. Such people love to find their benefits in everything.
However, shoving his thou
Ivanna"Ugh! Why are your men following us?" I scoff, looking at the mirror while riding."They don't leave me alone. That's their job to protect me from strangers and new people," Christian replies from behind.It makes me frown and I purse my lips in anger. "What do you mean? They are protecting you from me?""Sort of. You have literally made me travel on an old stupid motorbike," he seethes.This alien is enough to run anger through my veins. I twist the handlebar and stumble the bike upon. With a jerk, he shakes against me abruptly."What the—" he sniffs. "Are you crazy? If yo
IvannaChristian has headed back to the office right after we came back to the villa. I wonder if he's gonna be the same in the reception, how many people will be there, will I be able to handle the situation well, if he has invited my parents at least.So many questions but not a single answer.As the sun sets over the horizon, I come back to my room to get dressed for the function. Mrs Fisher comes following me right away."It's time to get dressed. I have brought your outfit," she passes me a warm smile."Well, I already got my outfit today""But Mr Scott said you will wear this," she roll
Ivanna"Come inside," his eyes burning at me."I want to meet my dad. It's been more than a week since I talked to him. Why didn't let him in?" I bark, almost sobbing. Despite staying away from Dallas I used to be continuously in contact with dad and this is the first time I have had no contact with him."Get inside, Iv. I won't repeat," his voice is harsh and I fucking don't care."He's my dad," my voice breaks."And you may not forget the rules in the contract. Huh?""What about you? You always break the rules and keep touching me," I snap, glaring at my hand which he's still not leav
Ivanna"I saw your pictures. You're just looking like a doll, Ivanna. And I swear you and Christian look so adorable together," Emily beams at the other end of the call. "Girls will be so damn jealous of you""Do we have anything else to talk about other than my stupid wedding?" I shrug, strolling by the garden.It's filled with more than a thousand varieties of plants, flowers I have only seen in the pictures or heard names about. It's kinda relaxing until Emily starts talking about Christian."You're mourning your marriage, girl. That too with Christian. Do you know how many girls dream about him?" She husks."I'm not among them. As simple as that.
Ivanna"It's Ivanna Roz— Scott. Ivanna Scott", I smile at Olivia, a girl almost in her late twenties, blonde hair, wearing a warm smile. I have met her just a while ago and she's awesome.We walk together towards the classroom. The campus looks lively and good, bigger than the campus I went to in Texas, still the vibes here can never match my campus in Texas. Gosh! I still miss that city."I don't why you look familiar to me. As if I have seen you somewhere recently", she frets, narrowing her blonde eyebrows.I hope she hasn't recognised me as Christian's wife though I'm sure she has seen some pictures of the reception. I remember the reporters taking pictures of me from a distance. After that, Christian asked them to go. That's why Olivia can't recognise me properly."Maybe, we have bumped somewhere", I giggle."Can be"We reach the classroom and it's a bit awkward for me to see people twice my age, only a few people are my age
Christian "It never happened to me before", she keeps ranting. "I was never humiliated. It was so embarrassing. They were laughing at me" As the pace of her sobs increases, I take her again in a tight embrace. "Ssshhh. No one will ever dare to do this to you", I caress her hair. "Stop crying", I cleaned her tears again when she looks up at me. Her reactions change drastically as if she can finally realise what's happening. She's still in my arms and I don't want to let her go. She peers deep into my eyes, before driving them away. She parts herself from me and I feel suddenly empty. "Well", I clear my throat. "You need to have a bath before you have the meals. Come on, get up" She obeys quickly to my surprise as I smile at her. Collecting her clothes, she goes into the washroom. I attend to my phone which has been buzzing for a long time. I cut it and switch it off. *I ask Mrs Fisher to bring the dinner to my room.
IvannaI cover my mouth in shock. Before I can do anything or call him again, Christian punches the guy in his stomach. Terror fills inside me as a crowd starts forming around us in the corridor."Christian," I yelp when I know he's not even listening to me.He punches the next guy again across his jaw while dealing with the first one. Those guys are indeed physically weaker than Christian which leads them to wounds.One of them abruptly attacks Christian and punches him in the face. My heart almost comes out."Christian, Christian please stop," I run towards them when he slams an on the floor kicking the other two on their stomach.
IvannaI'm left thunderstruck by his sudden action. He has never talked to me like this before. His cords are visible in neck when he glares at me."I—""Did you seek my permission before touching my stuff?" He sneers."I was just—" I try to elaborate, finding my voice to speak."You were just what?" He howls again, coming closer to me. It fills me with terror and I shiver. "You don't like me to interfere in your life. And you're interfering in my stuff. Why so double standard, Ivanna Rozario?"My eyes start burning and welling up. I gulp down, peering into his dange
