Chapter Four: After A Night
The next day, Daphne woke up because her leg was hurting. She slowly moved until she felt a thigh resting on her. Because of the shock, she immediately covered her mouth.She carefully removed the leg from her thigh and then looked around.She felt a little headache. Even though she was shock– what happened last night slowly dawned on him. The whole hot night they shared with a strange man.She looked at the man beside her. She saw a handsome man fast asleep. Before she could fantasize about the man again, she quickly stood up and picked up her scattered blankets. She quickly dressed and left the room.When she got out, she only found out that they were in the bar's VIP room.She immediately called a taxi, even though the part of her flower was tingling. From the mirror of the taxi, she could clearly see how miserable she looked. She sighed and then closed her eyes as she calmed herself down."Calm down, Daphne, it's just a one night stand, nothing more than that," she convinced himself.But that didn't work and she still seemed anxious. She was literally drunk last night! She was able to do that thing and because of the bullshit arranged marriage! She calmed down little by little, she just convinced herself that there would be no problem because of what happened.Well, she really hopes.She didn't go straight to her condo unit but to her friend Izzy's house. She quickly pulled her into the house after she paid the taxi. Even though the friend was surprised, for what she's doing there."I had sex with a stranger!" that's what she shouted then went directly into the shower room."Oh. My. Gosh!" Izzy looked shocked and slammed the door of the shower room. "Sis, ate you for real?! Who? Where?" How? Is the guy good?!" Daphne frowned at her friend's last question. She quickly opened the door again, but before that she had the courage to face her friend."What kind of question, if the man is good?""Yes or no?!" she pulled Daphne out of the shower room. "You're crazy! Tell me a story before you take a shower. After you left me at the bar last night, this is what you're going to reveal to me? You've already had a fucking one night?!"Daphne felt dizzy. "I really don't know what happened. You're the one who disappeared, I looked for you because I couldn't find you. I don't know why, my body suddenly felt warm and according to. . .""What?""I kissed the man and that's it, we had a sex. . . a great sex!""You're so amazing! So it's delicious! Yes! Yes! Yes!"She just laughed at her friend's reaction. Somehow her worry has disappeared. She entered the shower room again and then took a shower.>>>.<<<The next day everything went back to normal. She is busy with her patients. What happened the other night didn't even cross her mind.When she had a lunch break, she went to the cafeteria with Izzy. From a distance she could clearly see the figure of Klark. One of her co-Doctors who is itching to date her. She was about to avoid them but it was too late when he saw her."Doc. Romero!" he greeted her with a smile while waving.Daphne suddenly frowned and looked at her friend."Uyy, Doctor Cabrera," she just said when he got close to them."Let's eat together, after all I just ordered."The two friends looked at each other."Ah, maybe you and Izzy can eat together." Izzy's eyes widened as she stared at her. "I need to meet someone quickly around Starlove Caffè.""Can I come with you?""No, not anymore, what we're talking about is a private matter. Another poor thing is that my friend doesn't have a companion," she then stroked Izzy's back.Izzy hugged her. "You're really crazy. You know I don't like this arrogance either." whispered her friend."I just need some relax. I'm done with that naughty boy, you'll take care of it." she whispered back."You owe me this.""Okay, bye! Have a great lunch, guys!"She finally left the cafeteria and went straight outside the Hospital. She let out a breath and looked at her wrist watch. She had a long break because she's no longer had any patients by the afternoon, the nurse was in charge of monitoring her admitted patients.She ordered ice coffee and a piece of cake. While inside Starlove Caffè, she was also busy scrolling through her social media account. She is also inclined to do that especially since she has no other hobbies. After finishing, she immediately left the Caffè and went for a walk.She went to the nearest playground. This is what she called 'relaxing', because here the children are playing freely. She sat on one of the swings and watched the children with a smile. She really wishes that she could be just like the children, no problems and just enjoy life.She was alarmed when her phone rang. When she looked at it, she saw her Mom's registered number. She thought twice, and then she took a deep breath before she answered the call."What is it again?" he will meet here."We have a dinner tomorrow night with your soon to be husband. I hope you've made up your mind, Daphne."She sighed. "Why all of a sudden?! I have duty tomorrow, Ma. Besides, I didn't expect it to be a simple dinner, because I'm sure we'll talk about marriage. You're in too much of a hurry. You said two weeks before I get married, it's not two weeks yet, can I enjoy being single first?""Daphne, it's better if you met earlier.""I don't care. I don't want to meet him. And don't worry because I'm not going to run away from that bullshit marriage either."She heard her mother sigh. "Don't mess with them, Daphne. You don't know them. You might just be surprised one day you might be fired from the job you've been keeping."Her mother has disappeared on the other line. The last words she said were the ones that left her thinking. She held her cellphone tightly because of annoyance."So I should be afraid of them? As if. But what if it's true and my future husband can do that? I can't lose my job. I won't let that happen."Her mother looked like she had been warned, and now she left no choice.Chapter Five: Run Away BrideDaphne looked at herself in the mirror. She's now wearing a sky blue shirt and jeans. No make up and just like a normal night to her. She wouldn't dress up just for a dinner she didn't want to go to, but she had no choice. Fortunately, her Head Doctor allowed her to take leave for at least two days.She also wears her eye glasses. If in the hospital she often wears contact lenses, now she doesn't want to. She thinks that the man who is going to marry her might turn off her and he himself will withdraw from the marriage, that would be more favorable to her.She got into her own car and then went to the restaurant that her Mother told her. That restaurant is exclusively that's why when she got here she didn't wonder why the guard seemed surprised by her outfit. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with her appearance, her outfit just doesn't really fit the place.She didn't go straight to the table that her mom told her to. She went to the restroom first to calm
Chapter Six: Unexpected KissBefore Daphne could get into the car, her Mom hurriedly followed. She was seething with anger because of the rudeness shown by her eldest daughter. She wants this marriage to be successfully done without any problems, but it seems that her daughter will not get along."What scandal is this, Daphne?!" her Mother asked annoyed, then pulled hed arm.Daphne quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks and bravely faced her Mother."What? I'm not causing a scandal. Why don't you ask your other child? Just her dressed— scandalous!""Diane is always like that! What's wrong with you?!""Yes, she always like that, because you didn't teach her how to wear in a professional way! Oh, shock! Did you see her lips? Did you see the lipstick on her lips and the lipstick on the man's shirt I'll marry?! Well, me, yes, I saw it! And I saw them, kissing near at the girls restroom!"Her mother slapped her hard. She felt the pain and numbness of her cheek. At that time she knew that
Chapter Seven: Threatening"Storm, are you sure Diane Romero was really with me that night?" Treyton asked his bodyguard, Storm.The bodyguard thought for a moment. He did not expect his boss's sudden interest in what he had been with the night they went to the Enchanted Bar. Most of the time, he only delivers the woman he shared the bed with and at the same time gives a large amount of money in exchange for not showing it anymore.He didn't care why his boss always have women in bed, because for him that was normal for a rich man. Storm shook his head secretly and looked at the papers on her boss's desk. There is the information he gathered about the Romero brothers."Y—Yes, I asked her that night. And also based on the information I gathered, Ms. Daphne does not like to go to that kind of places, she is too conservative and workaholic." Storm responded.Treyton looked at the papers on the table again. He couldn't understand why nothing seemed to be new every time he saw Diane, but h
Chapter Eight: Mysterious AttitudeOnly three days later Daphne was busy again visiting her patients. Fortunately, Doctor Cabrera did not spread the word about her upcoming marriage. After finishing her work, she received an unexpected call from her head Doctor."Hello, Doctor Romero. I don't know what you've done, but Director Casteñola wants to see you now."When she answered the phone call she did not know what the reason was. When Treyton's face registered in her mind, her hands got cold. She arranged herself nervously. And then forced to be normal. She left the Doctor's quarters with a smile on her face. She is ready to greet the people she meets with a fake smile.When she reached the Head Director's office, she did not hesitate to knock three times before speaking."Head Director?""Come in." when Daphne opened the door, the Head Director immediately looked up at her. "Oh, Doctor Romero! It's a good thing you don't have an emergency with your patients, and you allowed me to see
Chapter Nine: Hidden Agenda"It's good that you came here."Daphne looked at the woman who had just arrived. It's her Mom. As usual, she is still with her new husband."Just make up for what I did in the past.""You should, Daphne, because you're getting married in just a few days. And maybe you also want to get back at your sister? For lying just to get out of here?"Daphne smirked. "Until now, for you I'm still lying? Why didn't you ask her?""Do you think I didn't ask her?" her Mama replied annoyed but only in a low tone of voice."Oh, you asked here but of course she denied it, it's probably the ending that I'm the liar. Where is she now? I'm gonna talking to her myself.""S-She's not here, because she's busy with their upcoming exam."Daphne didn't say anything and just took a glass of wine from the waiter. She quickly put it down and hurried out of the mansion. She was sure that the mansion had a garden and she wanted to be alone, because she felt like she will going crazy if sh
Chapter Ten: Awakened BeastThe wedding went ahead that same day. Even against her heart and principles Daphne couldn't do anything. There is also a mansion ready for them. But Treyton just let her stay where she wanted to stay. That's why she stays in the guest room.Daphne can't sleep well every night because every night Treyton brings different women at home and noisily shares their body heat. She always lack of sleep when she comes to the hospital, she can't sleep because of their noise as if she is listening to their grunts and moans.Today she thought of not going out because she felt bad. She won't wonder why because besides staying up late, she's also tired from work. Here she got to know the maid who were with them better and Manang Sonya was one of them.Manang Sonya gives her whatever she needs. She also acted as her personal maid because she didn't want anyone else to enter her room. She is currently in the garden and breathing in the breeze. She noticed Treyton's car just
Chapter Eleven: The Reason Why"What did you do?! Answer me!"Daphne couldn't figure out why Treyton was so mad. He was very different from the normal Treyton she saw every day. Now it was as if he could afford to hurt her.She just shook his head in fear."N—Nothing. . . We didn't do anything.""Tsk. You think I'll believe it?!" Treyton's grip on her shoulder tightened.Tears gradually flowed from her eyes due to fear."You're just like cheaters! You're just like my Dad! And now, you should be punished!"Treyton dragged her upstairs. She almost screamed for help because of the fear she felt. Treyton was holding her hair, she couldn't fight anymore because she knew she would be hurt more. Her arms hit every gap between the handle on the stairs, the table and the door.She was surprised whe she directly brought him into his room and threw her on the bed. Daphne backed up to the end."T—Treyton... D—Don't act like you're a monster. . . I am s—sorry." she tearfully said when she saw her
Chapter Twelve: The Unexpected Surprise!"What's the news about your husband missing in action? There's still a surprise!?" Izzy yelled at Daphne as they ate in the cafeteria.She was tired."I don't want to talk about him. It makes me lose my appetite."Three months ago, no Treyton showed up and made her feel sad. She didn't know where it was, even his family couldn't tell her where is he. She still thought it was just a simple business trip and that her husband would return soon.Her husband? Did she really accept it? Oh, well. Maybe she would have accepted it if he came back and changed, but here it looks like she was just made to hope.It's like she's been waiting for him to come back, for the surprise he says. Until she got tired of waiting and lost interest in it. In fact, it is in her favor that he is not by her side because it seems that she is free again.It's just that his personal body guard always watches over her and followed her wherever she goes, just like now that they
