Kenji is still dreaming about buying himself the latest sport car released yesterday, when he feels his whole body getting shaken. He groans, his hand moving to take a pillow and covered his face from the sun.
"Oh come on, Kenji! Open those damn eyes and leave!" He hears her, he even feel her kicking him at the butt. "You said you have a meeting with your parents at 2 PM it's 1: 30 in the afternoon!"
That made him open his eyes, groaning as he sits up. Damn it! He almost forgot. When he shifted his gaze, he smirked seeing Andrea with only a shirt on.
"I can do you in eight minutes," he said with his husky voice, throwing those perverted gazes at Andrea. He saw her bite her lower lip, taking off the shirt while she approach him.
The meeting place was at the Maledict's grand mansion, the guests lounge. Kenji hurried there, almost running as he glances at his wrist watch. Damn it! His parents are going to kill him for being late for ten minutes. If Andrea didn't beg to suck his dick, he would not be damn late.
At the entrance door, he fixed his hair really quick and then he reached for the door, turning the doorknob and pushing the door open. Inside he saw two other people, which made him pause thinking he might have missed the meeting.
"Uh... I apologize, I--" he stops when he saw his father signaled him to come in. So, he closed the door behind him.
Kenji was then introduced by his parents to Mr. and Mrs. Grimroe and he gladly shake their hands. He was then asked questions and he explained himself, of course lying to them. And when his father told him to go to the other room, he nodded.
Just as he had his hand on the doorknob to the other room, he hears them talk about marriage, making him sigh. He was not surprised about it, although it still piss him off, he has to accept it. Being a Maledict, he knows exactly what was coming his way. And a marriage-- an arranged marriage was to be expected. In fact, his parents already told him about the deal, the things he will be getting when he agrees.
And he knows, inside this room is the lady he will be marrying. Lucky girl to be marrying me, he thought, opening the door, entering and closing it behind him.
Kenji was hoping to see someone sexy, someone wearing a full game face on, wearing a red lipstick, someone wearing a revealing dress but instead, he has got an ordinary girl wearing an old fashion knee length dress. She looks good on it with her body type but it's just not what he was expecting.
"Stop gawking, stupid! You're intimidating me."
It taken him aback. The lady put down the magazine she was reading and then glares at him with those killer eyes of her that made him gulp. Somehow those eyes were so damn familiar to him. He just kind of forgot where he saw those eyes.
Kenji looks away, taking the seat in front of the lady. He leaned forward, both his elbows rested on his lap, speculating the lady more.
"So what's your name? You know why you are here, right?"
"Business," she uttered, bringing her other leg on top of the other. Then she leans to the armchair, her elbow rested there while her chin is resting on her palm. "You should back out."
"Why the hell would I?"
The lady shifted her gaze at him. Damn it! Those eye really look like she would stab him a lot of times in his sleep, take his internal organs and cook 'em.
"Because we don't like each other and you kind of have options."
"Options? What does that mean?"
"You are a guy. You can defy your parents, it's given. And I bet you have a loving girlfriend. You must fight for her."
That made him damn laugh. What the hell is this girl talking about? Yeah he can always say no to his parents but the things that he wants are being presented in front of him. He can't miss the opportunity.
"Look, I don't care about marriage nor being married to you. All I want are the things that I am getting," he said, giving a lopsided grin. "You can back out if you want but let me tell you this, marriage is nothing. It's just a word. And you might change your last name into mine but who cares about that?"
"I believe in holy matrimony," she muttered, her eyes sparkling.
Honestly, he feels a little pity towards the girl but what can he do? He needs this marriage thingy to get what he wants.
"That's too bad. You were born in the wrong darn family."
"If neither of us is backing out then let us make a deal for ourselves," she stated. When Kenji looked at her eyes, the waters were gone. Instead, he saw a burning fire in her green eyes, like the a****n burning. "You and me, when we get married, let's mind our own businesses."
"Your attitude suddenly changed," he scoffed, letting his back touch the back rest of the chair. "What if I was dying, we still can't care?"
"Oh, I'd like to be widowed."
Kenji sobs a laugh. Oh shit! It didn't come to him that his bride would have this kind of attitude. He was hoping she was rather friendly or sweet. But this in front of him, throwing death glares at him, this girl wants him dead.
"Well, let's just wait what they'll decide on. Let's hope we don't get married right away."
"Oh I hope you have an accident before that." She plastered an unapologetic smile which made him grit his teeth, looking at her with narrowed eyes.
"I admire your sense of hope and for my misfortune," he scoffs. "I bet if you were given the choice to shoot me, you will, huh?"
"Of course I will. But remember this," she hissed, raising one corner of her mouth while leaning a little forward. "You can never ever bring me to back out. You will back out!"
"Are you challenging me?"
"Oh yes I am, Mr. Maledict."
"Well then, let's see what happens, soon to be my Mrs. Maledict."
When he said that, he sees her nose flaring. Looks like he is going to have fun teasing his darn fiancee. Oh this is going to be fun, he thought.
"I am not yours!"
Just as she yells that, the door opened and both their head turned that way. Kenji smiled at his personal assistant, the one and only Carter.
"Young master, milady, you have been asked for."
Kenji throws an evil smirk at the lady as he stands up. He offered a hand but she just throw his hand a dirty stare, stomping her sneakers as she makes her way out. It made him smile.
At the other room, Hayley is seated beside the the man she will be marrying. She doesn't like him. He came late, he has messy hair and just from the looks of it, he enjoys the rich young and wild life. Not to mention that he is full of himself too. Oh the worst possible groom she could ever have. "So, have you two talked? Introduced yourselves to each other?" Mr. Maledict asked, smiling at both of them. "We talked. But she did not tell me her name." "Hayley," Mrs. Grimroe uttered in a low voice, raising a brow. "You should be polite to your future husband." "Oh no, please, our Kenji must have been rude to the young lady," Mrs. Maledict says. "Ah, so your name is Hayley," he mumbled, glimpsing with a smirk. "You could have been Amanda or Kate but you look more dangerous." "Ken D should've been your name," she sneered. "Ken doll." "Okay, that's enough both of you." Cassandra shifted glances between them. "We see that you ar
The days passed by really quickly and it was Kenji's last evening before he moves in with his future wife at Marie Swan's. Because it's a damn good evening, he wanted to celebrate it with his group of friends, drinking at some pavement just near a corner store. Kenji was having so much fun after three bottles of whatever the alcohol that is. Laughing with his friends never gets old. And they talk mostly about the drama the girls they have been with throws at them. "That damn nerd is hot, bro but she was looking for someone serious," Eren drank on his bottle and laughed. "But I ain't someone serious so she ran crying." The rest of their group shake their heads, chuckling slightly. All these dudes were into sex and one night stand, tasting all the girls they could have. That's the kind of life they want to have but Kenji is different. He just doesn't want to spend all his money on drinking nor does he want to have one night stand all his life. There was somethi
As Hayley is packing the rest of her things, she could not help but think about her future husband-- her damned future husband. The way he said he wanted to marry her now disgusts her. Why was he even there in the first place?"Are you alright, milady?"Hayley glances at Cristy who was helping her with her other things and she smiled, zipping her luggage. Then she went closer to Cristy."I am fine. I was just thinking of things I could do for that Ken doll to back out with this absurd engagement.""The young master, Kenji Maledict seems nice. He took you home safe and sound.""Oh no!" Hayley rolled her eyes. "He is far from nice! He is arrogant, a womanizer-- that is for sure and..." She pauses, looking around the room to describe the damn man."And you do not know much about him, milady."What Cristy said made her frown, pouting as well. Yes, she does not know the man well but he is a womanizer and she can confirm that! T
A mess. It is what Kenji saw in the kitchen when he got back. He was just going to get a bottle of water when his eyes caught the burnt food on the frying pan that's on the sink. Ingredient pieces were everywhere near the sink and plates and tools were left unwashed. Damn! This could only be Hayley!Kenji marched towards Hayley's door and when he was in front, he made a fist and bang loudly on his lovely bride's door. He doesn't care if she's already sleeping or what, he just needs the kitchen cleaned.The door opened revealing an annoyed Hayley with her arms crossed, her brows drawn together."What do you damn want?""I want you to clean the mess you made in the kitchen.""Tch! I'll do it tomorrow mor--""I want it now!" he interrupted, his voice cold and deep. "Do it or I'll drag you to the kitchen."Before Hayley started moving, she threw Kenji a dirty stare, rolling her eyes when she walk past him, mumbling. He s
Hayley woke up to the sun's rays hitting her eyes that made her close them once more, groaning a little and turning to the other side. Ah, now she's much comfortable. She feels tired so she's going to stay in bed a little more.Just some moments later, she could feel the brushing of fingers along her thigh and it tickles her, chuckling slightly. Her eyes remained close."Cristy, stop it. I'm still sleepy," she mumbled in her morning voice. "Go close the curtain for me.""I think I need to put down your skirt rather than curtain first. Your lovely thighs are showing."Hayley's eyes snapped open. She froze upon hearing that damn voice and seeing how she's facing his well-defined chest, she wants to scream! As she was about to push Kenji away, he suddenly wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer. She glances at him and her eyes went wide."Stay. I won't do anything to you but just stay a little longer," he whispers with his husky voice and
Practicing with walking down the aisle was not pleasing to Hayley. Especially when Kenji is waiting for her at the end. His playful grin has had her scoffing all the time. She can't even believe she survived living with him for the past weeks. "Hayley! Smile! It's your wedding! You can't be frowning like that in three days' time! Learn to smile!" Aish, demanding damn coordinators! She had to force a big smile to please them. Her days have been like this, practicing the same old things and even the speeches-- scripted ones of course because just writing 'love' disgusts them both. When she got to the altar, Kenji took her hand whispering something in her ear. It isn't surprising anymore, he does it every time to annoy her. "Okay! So you both stand here while the priest does his things!" They decided that it will be a church wedding. Hayley specifically told their parents she wants a church wedding. It isn't because
After their long day, Hayley was still sulking at the other corner of their car. She was still mad from what Kenji did earlier and she didn't want to be touched. They were stuck in traffic, and it's even a long way home from the church they practiced at."I told you, it's just a practice. Don't tell me you didn't think we'd share a kiss after the priest announces, 'you may now kiss the bride'? You really think it's believable if I kiss you on the cheek?""I said don't talk to me, Ken doll. I'm really going to kill you!" she warns.Kenji glances at her for a moment and back in front. Hayley looked like she was going to eat him alive so he'll let her be for a while. Earlier at lunch, his father had given him a ring to give Hayley. That was why he had not let go of her and they ended up in that cake shop. In the end, he couldn't give the damn diamond ring.An engagement ring that costs a lot is necessary for their family's name, for the guests to see.
At the grand suite of the hotel, Hayley is being scolded while the make-up artist does her make-up. Although Cassandra is being loud, she could not hear her mother. All she thinks about was how she forgot it was her birthday, how her mother has not greeted her but Kenji did. The guy she dislike had remembered her birthday. "Your makeup is all set, love. The hair will be done soon and you can change to your gown." Hayley smiled at the artist and then reached for her phone. The first thing she saw on the screen was a text from Lucas and it immediately made her grin. Lucas never fails to greet her with a happy birthday. After she texted back with a thank you, Cassandra and the other staff told her to get changed to her wedding gown. The designer and his team had to help her. In order for it to be elegant, they need to assist her every time. Now she just hopes she doesn't trip over and be a laugh of the crowd. "Oh look at the time! We won't ma
